The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 79 - Half-Brothers with Different Fathers

Eventually, the top-grade spiritual stones inside the array plate were exhausted, and without the replenishment of spirit stones, the defensive barrier disappeared.

However, what awaited them was even more despair.

The great tortoise shell buried in the ground was immovable, solid as a rock, despite them exerting all their strength. However, they did manage to blast the tortoise shell completely out of the mud, exposing it in front of everyone.

Nobody rushed forward to approach it.

Everyone was cautious, not knowing whether there might be traps waiting for them.

Someone had a sudden idea and began to curse, “You turtle grandson hiding in your shell! Your grandfather is here, come out and face your death!”

“Hiding? Ha, unless you can hide for a lifetime!”

“Come out, you turtle grandson!”

“Hurry up and hand over the Nine Orifices Heart Lotus…”

The disciples of the Minghua Sect stood shouting from a distance of thirty feet. They were throwing various insults, yet they all kept their distance.

The techniques they had smashed out earlier were also long-distance ones.

Wu Yu fixed his gaze on a certain part of the tortoise shell, the very spot where Xie Jiuniang had previously entered and blocked with a small hole.

“You’ve noticed it too?” Gongsun Xue looked towards the same spot as well, “That’s the only place that’s not a tortoise shell.”

Both of them had used their divine sense to inspect it previously, and it was as if the great tortoise shell did not exist. But the small hole was visible to the naked eye. However, when they tried to extend their divine sense inside, it was blocked by something.

Out of caution, they didn’t force their investigation.

Wu Yu launched an offensive technique towards the small hole.

Boom!

The stones blocking the small hole were blown away.

Upon using divine sense to inspect it again, it was still impenetrable.

Wu Yu turned to a disciple and said, “Let your contracted beast take a look.”

“Yes, senior brother.”

The disciple’s contracted beast, a white-furred demonic rat, was released.

The white-furred demonic rat obeyed its master’s command and crawled forward, unharmed by the tortoise shell and the small hole, but just as it was about to stick its head into the hole, a flash of sword light streaked past.

The rat let out a miserable squeal.

The rat’s body was sent flying several zhang, and when it hit the ground, everyone saw that its head had been split in two.

A chill ran through the crowd.

There was a sense of relief that they hadn’t acted recklessly!

The disciple whose Contracted Beast died was out of luck and immediately vomited blood, falling into unconsciousness on the spot.

This was one of the reasons why Cultivators rarely contracted with Demonic Beasts.

If the Demonic Beast didn’t die, it was fine, but once it died, the soul of the Contracting Master would be injured. And the medicine to heal the Spiritual Soul was extremely precious.

Wu Yu instructed someone to take care of the disciple.

The group unconsciously retreated another thirty feet.

Wu Yu suddenly took out a fifth-rank Thunder Explosion Talisman and shouted sternly, “The person inside, listen up! Get out now! If you don’t come out, don’t blame me, Wu Yu, for being impolite.”

A fifth-rank Thunder Explosion Talisman was equivalent to a strike from a Golden Core!

It was one of Wu Yu’s strongest attacks; he was truly angered by the person inside.

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Xue’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she called out loudly, “A fifth-rank Thunder Explosion Talisman? I have a Thunder Explosive Bead here too!”

The effects of the two were similar, both considered to be objects that would terrify lower-rank Cultivators just by mention.

Inside the Tortoise Shell.

When Xie Jiuniang came to, she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood upon hearing those words.

Seeing that Jian Lingyan was still hovering around her, constantly seeking praise, Xie Jiuniang hit her with a stick and scolded, “You wretched thing, roll aside!”

The situation was dire!

Xie Jiuniang conjured up another Water Mirror.

Her earlier disguise had long faded, revealing her true face.

After taking the Nine Apertures Heart-Connecting Lotus, her appearance had been getting better day by day. However, due to her young age, she appeared a bit tender, but her beauty was also beginning to emerge, like a lotus revealing its sharp tips, stirring people’s thoughts.

In her past life, she was already very beautiful, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were particularly striking, even more so than Xie Ying’s.

But in the Cultivation World where strength was revered, appearance was secondary. In fact, a striking appearance without matching strength often attracted unwanted trouble, much like Bai Mudan in her previous life.

At this moment, Xie Jiuniang had no interest in admiring her own beauty, indifferently dispersing the Water Mirror with a wave of her hand.

She changed into a new set of clothes, presenting herself as a wealthy young master, exuding an air of extravagance, especially by making the Jade Token given by Elder Chaoyan more conspicuous at her waist.

Then she drew her eyebrows thicker to downplay her exquisite features by a few degrees.

Furthermore, to be on the safe side, she smeared her face with a couple of handfuls of mud.

Xie Jiuniang hadn’t even stepped out when she started boasting arrogantly, “Do the Wu Family and the Gongsun Family want to start a fight with the Lin’s of Yaoguang City? Lin Wangchen, the eldest disciple of Tianxu Sect’s Fafeng, is my half-brother! My adoptive ancestor is at the Divinity Transformation stage, my great-grandancestor is about to break through to Divinity Transformation, and my grandfather is close to Nascent Soul! Believe it or not, I can have my ancestors flatten your two families…”

A haughty young man emerged from the Tortoise Shell, chin up and looking down at everyone with a sneer, with an air of ‘all are ants but me’, which infuriated the people outside.

Wu Yu was arrogant enough in general, but upon seeing Xie Jiuniang, he felt he couldn’t compare and was ashamed.

Gongsun Xue’s willow eyebrows shot up in anger, “Well done, Lin Family, not taking our Gongsun Family seriously, are you?”

“The Gongsun Family counts for nothing! Once my great-grandancestor breaks through to Divinity Transformation, I’ll see it wiped out! Soon my family will have four at the Divinity Transformation stage, and then I, Young Master Lin, can walk sideways through the Eastern Region!” Xie Jiuniang bluffed haughtily, carelessly boasting.

If Jian Lingyan hadn’t been constantly following its master, it almost would have believed her!

All listened as Xie Jiuniang glanced at the crowd with the corner of her eye, mixing truth with falsehood, “My great-grandancestor said that old thing Gongsun Sheng was injured a hundred years ago. He used seclusion as an excuse to go heal. Did you think my family didn’t know?”

A Divinity Transformation ancestor of the Gongsun Family really had been injured and had kept it well-hidden. It was only revealed a hundred years later in her previous life during a struggle for a high-grade Spirit Plant.

Xie Jiuniang was letting the cat out of the bag prematurely; this caused Wu Yu’s cold eyes to flicker uncertainly. Observing the sudden change of expression on Gongsun Xue’s face, he became somewhat convinced. At the same time, his doubts about Xie Jiuniang being from the Lin Family vanished.

Gongsun Xue denied it, “Nonsense! Look at you, a child of the Lin Family, stealing our Nine Apertures Heart-Connecting Lotus and having the gall to slander and defame our ancestor——”

“Enough! The treasures of the Secret Realm belong to whoever obtains them. As for you, daring to disturb my breakthrough today, this grudge is set. Once I leave the Secret Realm, I’ll be sure to tell my brother Lin Wangchen…”

On and on, Xie Jiuniang blustered arrogantly as if flying a flag.

She infuriated everyone present to the point of fuming with rage!
