Immortal of the Nine Realms-Chapter 1294: The Shit Pot
The crowd was stunned.
Cooperate with Immortal Xingyu?
At this moment, even Immortal Xingyu revealed a trace of confusion. Seeing her master and senior brother look at her, she couldn't help but lightly shake her head, indicating that she knew nothing of it.
The Grand Desolate Immortal's face turned ashen, not knowing what to say.
Immortal Feilu stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, please explain the causes and consequences of this matter. Only then can we better determine who the culprit is."
Lady Suya took a deep breath, then lightly laughed. "We were planning to use Grand Desolate Immortal's whereabouts to make a transaction with Immortal Xingyu, requesting her assistance in dealing with a Loose Immortal."
The Grand Desolate Immortal's whereabouts?
Grand Desolate Immortal's expression suddenly changed, as though he had realized something. He looked at Lady Suya with a face full of shock and anger.
Immortal Xingyu instead asked curiously, "Use Grand Desolate Immortal's whereabouts to make a deal with me? You knew his whereabouts in the Immortal Exchange?"
Lady Suya replied, "I am not a direct descendant of the Ji Family, but the one who died was. The Ji Family has an ancient inherited immortal technique that bypasses restrictions. He could see clearly through all disguises: appearances, auras, and true cultivation levels.
Such information should never have been publicized, but Ji Tiandu's death had scared Lady Suya. Fearing she might vanish next, she decided to reveal everything.
The sixth-transformation immortals here would naturally have to protect her—if she were to die, none of the Immortal Sovereigns present today would be able to explain themselves.
Lady Suya said in a deep voice, "As the saying goes, 'know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never be defeated.' If we can tell Immortal Xingyu every detail of Grand Desolate Immortal's whereabouts, and in addition offer seven hundred immortal crystals, I wonder if Immortal Xingyu would be willing to act for us?"
Immortal Xingyu thought for a moment, then asked, "What's the opponent's cultivation?"
"Below fourth transformation."
Lady Suya did not know the true cultivation of the old flood dragon, but at this moment, she could only grit her teeth and insist it was below that.
"Then I will act. After all, the grudge between me and Grand Desolate Immortal can no longer be reconciled. Either he dies, or I die."
Immortal Xingyu looked at Grand Desolate Immortal with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Was that why you made a move on this Ji Family descendant? You uncovered this plot and wanted to silence him before your movements were exposed?"
"Ridiculous!" shouted the Grand Desolate Immortal. He was so angry that he started laughing. "And how would I even know what schemes they were hatching?"
His heart was seething with anger and fury.
Was this shit pot really going to be forcibly put on his head?
"That depends on you, doesn't it? Perhaps you, too, have some secret art that can pierce disguises and reveal others' true forms." She laughed lightly. "That's a good reminder, actually. Next time I deal with you, illusions probably won't work very well."
She grew more and more delighted. The more she learned about a fifth-transformation Immortal, the closer that immortal was to death.
"The fact is as such. Do you mean to tell me this is all a coincidence? I ask all those present: who among you has enmity with my Ji Family, that you would strike at our direct disciple?"
Lady Suya sneered coldly, producing a Great Transference Immortal Talisman from her hand. "This is a Great Transference Immortal Talisman. So long as I shatter it, I can summon a Ji Family sixth-transformation True Immortal."
Jidu Kongyuan hurriedly said, "Daoist, please don't be hasty. We four hosts will see this matter thoroughly resolved. It would be a shame to waste such a precious treasure."
If yet another sixth-transformation Immortal from the Minor Immortal Realm appeared, the situation would spiral far beyond anyone's control.
At the same time, this Great Transference Immortal Talisman, together with her earlier jade token, could also prove that this woman truly came from the Minor Immortal Realm.
Lady Suya put away the talisman, sneering coldly. "Then I will simply wait and see."
Jidu Kongyuan looked toward Grand Desolate Immortal and said in a deep voice, "Grand Desolate Immortal, your suspicion in this matter is grave. Before fully clarifying the causes and consequences of this matter, you must not leave. You need to come with us."
Grand Desolate Immortal's face grew unsightly, but he remained silent. He did not dare follow them. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
If there truly was evidence proving he had done it, what if he were struck down on the spot?
Although the Spirit God Sect possessed great prestige within the Nine Mortal Realm, the forces behind these sixth-transformation Immortals, as well as the Minor Immortal Realm, were by no means ordinary.
Based on what he knew of the Spirit God Sect, the upper echelons would most likely not make enemies of so many powers just for a fifth-transformation Immortal like him.
Seeing Grand Desolate Immortal remain silent, Jidu Kongyuan's face darkened. His aura surged as he prepared to act, but Immortal Longfu waved his hand.
"Since the matter is not yet clear, it is not appropriate to seize anyone. The Grand Desolate Immortal is still a respectable fifth-transformation immortal. There is no need to treat him this way. I suggest letting him temporarily stay at our inn. Once this exchange concludes, then we can properly resolve this matter."
Immortal Taixu frowned and said, "Someone has died here—a cultivator from the Minor Immortal Realm, no less. Isn't such leniency inappropriate?"
Immortal Longfu cupped his hands and said, "Senior Taixu, after all, this is the Nanqing Constellation. Daoist Jidu and his companions worked for years to build up the foundation for this Immortal Exchange. If the conference were to end on a bad note, our Ten Directions Immortal Sect would also suffer losses."
The crowd vaguely understood. Perhaps behind the Immortal Exchange... there was also the shadow of the Ten Directions Immortal Sect.
"Very well. In any case, this matter has nothing to do with us."
Immortal Taixu lightly nodded, then turned and left together with Immortal Xingyu and another.
Meanwhile, Jidu Kongyuan and the others protected Lady Suya while comforting her, not wishing for her to shatter the Great Transference Immortal Talisman in her hand.
In truth, she also did not dare to shatter this talisman, because it would not summon a sixth immortal Loose Immortal, but only her husband, whose cultivation was still at second transformation.
Fang Chen looked at Immortal Longfu a few more times. The latter handled the matter from the standpoint of the Immortal Exchange, but in doing so had, perhaps intentionally, made Grand Desolate Immortal's situation a little better.
Could it be that Longfu was secretly connected to the Spirit God Sect? And if so... what about Immortal Lord Dayu?
"That's right, there are some culprits who, after committing a deed, like to return here to observe." Jidu Kongyuan suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping across all those present. "At this moment, all cultivators here must come with us. Fellow Daoists, do not worry. Once the investigation is verified, you will naturally be free to leave."
The cultivators who had been merely watching the lively scene were immediately startled, but they did not dare leave at such a time, fearing it would cause suspicion. They could only secretly curse in their hearts.
Fang Chen indeed had returned to watch the commotion, but only with his divine soul. Hearing Jidu Kongyuan's words, he quietly departed.
Half a month passed; no one mentioned Ji Tiandu's death again, and the entire matter seemed to have faded into oblivion.
Some had tried to investigate which room the murder had taken place in and who had stayed there, but with every participant having concealed their appearances and auras, there was nothing to find. In time, everyone gave up.
"Quite the harvest this time," Fang Chen mused, counting through the spoils. "Over a thousand immortal crystals, almost the same as earning a Yang Essence for free."
Beside him, Ji Tiandu glared at him with eyes full of venomous hatred. However, there was nothing he could do.
