Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1407  A True Immortal Over Seventy Is A Monster, Everyone Will Fear You (1)

Drip!

Blood dripped from the blade onto the ground.

Chang Ji looked at the blade that had pierced his chest at some point in time. His thoughts were in turmoil, and he felt regretful.

He should not have come here recklessly.

Although he had already made his preparations, this situation was quite unexpected.

The issue was not about who was behind Jiang Hao.

Rather, it was about the person himself.

What shocked him the most was that this person could actually kill him, despite the difference in their cultivation realms.

It was astonishing how he had crossed realms so fast.

Jumping from a lower cultivation to a higher cultivation realm to attack an immortal was simply impossible.

The person before him was probably in his seventies.

But to be a True Immortal at only seventy was…

Chang Ji, who was severely injured, could not even find the words to describe it.

"Are you really only in your seventies?" he asked.

"Does it matter?" Jiang Hao's voice was icy.

"It does. If you really are in your seventies, people trying to kill you would go crazy trying to understand it," said Chang Ji as he grimaced in pain. "Because you have overturned everyone's—or rather every race's—perception. To them, such a person is not a genius or a prodigy but a monster. Monsters are out of place with all beings. You must die. Everyone will fear you. They'll be unable to tolerate such a thing and will unite to kill you, just like dealing with a formidable beast."

"Thank you for your concern. Can you tell me what you are here for?" Jiang Hao asked.

Chang Ji smiled and said, "I came to test you. Now I have the result. I know the news won't get out, but my death itself is news. Unfortunately, they might not think I was killed by you."

Jiang Hao nodded. That was indeed the case.

That was why he did not want to make the first move.

If the opponent could retreat, it would have been best. But he had no choice but to act.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Jiang Hao asked.

Chang Ji turned to look at Jiang Hao. "You really look like a human, but no matter how much you look like one, you cannot hide the fact that you are a monster. You can only hide and avoid people, unable to fully manifest yourself in the world. Living like this is more meaningless than my own life. I don't envy you. Haha!"

As his words fell, Chang Ji erupted with a powerful force.

It was not to attack Jiang Hao.

Rather, it was for self-destruction.

Even in death, he did not want to be mercilessly tortured by the person before him. It was already an insult that this person had managed to kill him so casually.

Immortals were not people who were afraid of death.

If they were, how could they establish the Supreme Immortal Court?

He was just a speck of dust cast out by the Immortals, but he would still be a part of it.

This time, no one could stop the establishment of the Supreme Immortal Court. He sincerely believed that.

Even as his head fell to the ground, he still maintained his faith.

Death was acceptable.

The Fallen Immortal Clan would definitely endure until the end.

Even if the human race became the central figure in the world for countless years, they could not replace the Fallen Immortal Clan.

He also knew that the other party had come to test him. It was somewhat arrogant, but not a blind visit.

He had been prepared.

If Chang Ji did not return, the next step would commence.

The matter would be closely monitored.

As expected, it had caused a lot of trouble for Jiang Hao.

He knew this from the feedback of the Daily Appraisal ability that he had done before he beheaded his enemy.

After delivering a few more blows, Jiang Hao threw the corpse into the River of Deathly Silence.

The Heavenly Blade, once sharpened, made killing an immortal relatively easy.

As long as the blade could cut through the body, it could annihilate the Immortal's aura.

Even the Dao energy found it hard to escape.

At present, the Heavenly Blade barely cut through Dao patterns.

Even if it was cut, the effect was not that significant.

The difference was too great.

Watching Chang Ji's corpse slowly drift downstream, Jiang Hao returned to his position and sat cross-legged.

The arrival of the Fallen Immortal Clan made him quite melancholic.

With an Immortal dying here, he would certainly attract attention.

If discovered as Smiling San Sheng, he would not have one moment of peace.

As for the Fallen Immortal Clan, they wanted to establish the Supreme Immortal Court.

He did not think too much about it.

That was not under his control.

With the arrival of the Great Era, there would always be new clans or races who wanted to establish a new order.

The Human Emperor was once such a figure.

Only, unlike the Immortals, he did not suppress other races and clans.

"It would be great if someone could draw the Fallen Immortal Clan's attention away from me..." Jiang Hao could not help but sigh.

This made him think of the powerful person who had delayed the Fallen Immortal Clan's wrath for him.

If he had the chance to meet that person, he would offer something in return just to settle the debt.

"Unfortunately, whether it's Shang An, Chu Jie, or Xiao Li, none have the strength to attract the Fallen Immortal Clan's attention. I don't know how many years it will take for them to become strong enough." Jiang Hao sighed.

Shang An was very powerful, but it was still not enough.

Chu Jie might be able to become an immortal in a hundred years.

As for Xiao Li, Chu Chuan, Lin Zhi, and others, they would need a few more centuries.

In this Great Era, becoming an Immortal in five hundred years was not impossible.

Five hundred years is too long.

At that time, they would have only just become immortals and likely would not attract much attention.

Jiang Hao felt a headache coming on while thinking about all of it.

It would be great if something else could shield him.

Currently, major forces were not usable.

Even the capable ones needed time.

He could only take it one step at a time.

Then, he observed the underground again.

At that moment, he unexpectedly discovered that the previously clear underground had some immortal aura that was just emerging, and it was rapidly moving toward the core.
