Chapter 158 - The Expert is Terrifying!
A sky full of ice quickly melted away. The hole in the sky was patched up, too.
The world was back to what it once was.
The cultivators were stiff. A breeze sent a shiver down their spines and chilled their limbs.
They only dared to glance at the lady in the white dress with the corner of their eyes. They hurriedly looked away. They did not dare to see what she looked like because they were horrified!
That was an Immortal!
She was different from the Liu Family’s ancestor. She was an Immortal in this realm!
Scary, terrifying, horrifying!
The Holy Emperor and Zhou Dacheng looked fine because they were mentally prepared.
Gu Changqing and the others were as pale as a white paper. They were buzzing as if they were astral projecting. They almost fell to the ground.
Gu Changqing had goosebumps all over. His heart raced as he looked at the Holy Emperor. He asked, “This girl… Is she… Is she…”
The Holy Emperor smiled awkwardly and nodded. He said, “Yeap.”
Gasp—
Gu Changqing and the elders gasped at the same time. They felt their souls ascend. They almost had a mental breakdown.
They heard from the Holy Emperor that Liu Rusheng was disrespectful toward a girl next to the expert. That was how he offended the expert. However, they did not expect that this girl was an…Immortal herself!
Holy mother!
Liu Rusheng deserved to die!
He was the number one suicider in the Immortal Realm, that was for sure!
If he was still alive, this information would scare him to death.
“Thankfully… Thankfully, I didn’t help the Liu Family explain the situation out of recklessness. Otherwise…” Gu Changqing flinched. He did not want to imagine it. He might die!
Daji glanced at the dead body in her arms. Then, glanced at the others. She walked away and vanished into the horizon.
Gu Changqing and the others heard a voice. “You should know my master’s pet peeve by now. Clean up nicely! If you happen to miss something and disturb my master… Hmph!”
Gu Changqing and the others jumped. They quickly bowed in Daji’s direction.
Everyone sighed in relief when Daji left the scene.
The bigshot left. They could finally breathe normally.
Everything seemed to be normal. It was as if what they witnessed was a dream. It was unreal.
They went through too much that night. Everything that happened was big news in the Immortal Realm.
The Liu Family was under attack!
The Immortal!
The hole in the sky made by the writing!
The death of the Immortal!
Immortal in the Immortal Realm!
It was all too scary. Nobody would believe it.
They felt as if they were in the Immortal Realm during ancient times. They felt that powerful eldritch vibes!
The Immortal Realm…had a big storm coming!
Liu Xinghe was on the ground. He was no longer the powerful Liu Family Master he once was. Instead, he was a weak old man with messy hair.
He still had a sparkle in his eyes.
He stared Gu Changqing in the eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Lord Gu, can you please tell me how my son offended the expert?”
Gu Changqing sighed and groaned. Then, he softly said, “He catcalled the lady that just walked away.”
Splurt!
Liu Xinghe spat out another mouthful of blood. He almost fainted from choking.
There were tears in his old eyes.
“Haha, no wonder!” He was slightly hysterical. “I get it now. This is the end for the Liu Family!
“I should know that arrogance takes you nowhere. What is the Liu Family to this realm? Life in this realm was insignificant to the Liu Family, but the Liu Family was also insignificant to otherworldly beings, right? You were right. We can’t be too arrogant in the next life! We offended such an expert. We…deserved this elimination!”
He stopped talking and fell to the ground. He was dead.
“The Liu Family is used to being cocky. They finally met their match. They deserved it!” Zhou Dacheng sighed. “However, it feels bad to watch the fall of a powerful family.”
Gu Changqing said, “It’s the survival of the fittest here in the Immortal Realm. What do you think will happen to us without the help of the expert? The journey of a cultivator is truly dangerous.”
“True, thankfully we have the expert. It’s our luckiest encounter yet!” The Holy Emperor stopped and said respectfully, “I thought the expert did the writing because he wanted to destroy the Liu Family. Who would’ve thought he actually wanted to kill the Liu Family Ancestor! I was too naive.”
“Naturally. There’s no way we could’ve figured out the expert’s schemes, right?” Zhou Dacheng nodded and sighed. “Too bad we lost the writing, though. I didn’t even have the chance to analyze it.”
The Holy Emperor was pissed off. “Lucky you, I didn’t even get to look at it much!”
Zhou Dacheng coughed softly and played the zither. “Alright, we have to complete the assignment. I’ll kill them all with a song.”
A violent tune was played above the Liu Family.
Half an hour later, Gu Changqing and the others ensured there was no one left alive before they fled the scene.
There were a few bystander cultivators who remained at the scene. They were lucky that they were still alive after witnessing the crazy night. They had witnessed the fall of an elite family!
Gu Changqing was frowning on their way back. His expression kept changing.
Zhou Dacheng could not take it anymore. “Lord Gu, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Gu Changqing said in a serious tone. “Aren’t you wondering how the Liu Family Ancestor managed to transport his figure to the Immortal Realm? This hasn’t happened in a thousand years.”
Everyone realized it once he said it.
Yeah!
Even the ancestor himself was confused.
Was something about to happen in this realm?
Zhou Dacheng asked, “Lord Gu, do you have any idea what happened? Maybe we can contact the ancestors of the Linxian Palace.”
“I had a hunch. I felt like something changed in the realm as if something was unlocked. I thought I was just imagining it, but now…”
He took a deep breath and said in disbelief, “I think, the bridge to immortality is starting…to reconnect!”
Zhou Dacheng and the Holy Emperor widened their eyes at the same time. They sounded anxious. “Re—reconnect?!”
Gu Changqing was unsure. “It’s just a theory. But from the looks of it, it’s highly possible.”
The Holy Emperor flinched.
“I think I figured it out!”
He tried to put his words into a sentence. Then, he said fearfully, “The reconnection of the bridge to immortality is probably the doings of the expert. Think about it. He gave us the writing on purpose so that we could kill the Liu Family Ancestor. Doesn’t that mean he knew about the Immortal?!”
“Indeed!”
Gu Changqing was baffled. He slightly gasped and said, “Plus, the expert talked about ‘Journey to the West’ at Azure Ville. He was unsatisfied that the bridge was broken. It’s highly possible that he reconnected it!”
Zhou Dacheng added on, “Also, Daji became an Immortal, right? The expert is full of tricks. Fixing the bridge of immortality is a piece of cake to him!”
Gasp—
Everyone gasped simultaneously.
The expert was terrifying!
