The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 912 - 500: Bloodless Victory (Part 2)

Under the premise of his complete ignorance, if Jiu Mo really applied poison at the instant "Shadow Control" talent took effect on him, handling the situation would indeed be quite tricky.

Changtian smiled faintly and said, "Besides, are you aware that the ’Storm’ Divine Brush is also in her hands? If she ordered a Hidden Guard to wield the brush against you, risking their life could still severely injure you. Do you have another Death Replacement Puppet? When Duanmu Yan fled that day, he once used the ’Storm’ Divine Brush, sacrificing two-thirds of his life force to summon the word ’Hai’, which unexpectedly could harm Lord Langya. If not for the Death Replacement Puppet made from Blood Parasol taking effect, this Immortal would surely have shed some Immortal blood. If this Divine Brush were to be wielded by a Hidden Guard with higher cultivation realm, what effect would it have?

Lord Langya was startled: "Duanmu Yan’s ’Storm’? So, Yin Jiu You’s avatar is already..."

"Died in our hunt back then," Ning Xiaoxian said with a smile, "Without some certainty of winning, how dare I wager my life and those of my subordinates, Lord Langya?"

Lord Langya stood in silence for a while before giving a self-mocking smile: "So many things have happened within the Hidden Stream, and I only learned of it today. Seems I should not mock Jiu Mo; I’m not much competent myself."

Jiu Mo angrily retorted from the side: "Have you always been mocking me?"

Lord Langya, feeling uneasy too, turned and glanced coldly at her: "If you can be defeated by Elder He, can you not tolerate being mocked?"

Seeing the two about to argue, Changtian waved his hand: "From now on, go your own ways, don’t bicker, everyone leave." He instructed Ning Xiaoxian to escort the two out of the God Demon Prison.

At this time, Lord Langya was much more courteous to Ning Xiaoxian, talked briefly, and took his leave. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for him; the long-desired wish he harbored for countless years has finally come true, and the power of the Ba Snake can no longer bind him. However, the cost is extremely high, it is the Blood Oath he made to Changtian. Even he is at a loss, has he actually become more free or less free? Even though he has the mental state of an Immortal, he might not feel good right now.

Thankfully Gongshu Zhao patted his shoulder, accompanying him as he left.

They are quite the good comrades. Ning Xiaoxian watched their backs disappear before turning to ask Jiu Mo: "We have to stay in the Hidden Stream for a while longer, you won’t stay inside the God Demon Prison, will you?"

Jiu Mo paused and thought for a moment before saying bitterly, "No, I’ll return to my original dwelling." Since her defeat, she lost the power of the Sect Leader, now returning to that mansion, the maids and guards must have vacated, leaving only herself in that vast residence. What she most does not want to face, however, is the gossip from everyone.

But these bitter fruits, she has to bear them herself. Turning around, the moonlight cast a long shadow, also showing her loneliness.

Seeing everyone leave, Ning Xiaoxian then slowly started moving towards her courtyard in a leisurely manner. Lord Langya has already submitted, the greatest obstacle she had in the Hidden Stream has been removed. Honestly, she sighed a breath of relief. With her magic artifacts and influence, dealing with this successfully Crossing Tribulation Immortal was risky; even if she had every geographical advantage, it was uncertain how many would be left. These are all her capable soldiers, if there were to be massive casualties, how could she not feel heartache? Resolving it peacefully like this was most ideal.

The Ba Snake Forest in the night remains vibrant, as she walked, she chatted with Changtian, appreciating the choruses of countless insects and frogs, along with the various peculiar mating calls of wild beasts.

Ah, after all, spring has arrived.

Now, her Westward Journey has concluded. Is the courtyard she’s returning to the place that could be called "home"? She doesn’t know. She heard a saying in Huaxia: Where the home is, is where the heart finds peace. So, can her heart be at peace?

This night, under a sparse moonlit sky. However, many bathed in this bright moonlight still felt surrounded by a fog of confusion, a sense of bemusement. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Girl." Changtian seemed to understand her thoughts, whispered, "Don’t overthink. Up till now, you have done well in everything."

Ah, yes. Raising the cup to toast the bright moon, creating a sense of loneliness with the shadows, is merely an illusion. She always has him by her side; for four years, except for those days absorbing the turtle pearl divine power, this great monster has always protected her.

At no time was she ever alone. At any time, she always had a home. Wherever he was, her heart would find peace.

Before the Demon Eye, two drops of water suddenly fell. Changtian’s expression slightly moved but said nothing, letting her emotional journey of bittersweet and mixed feelings gently unfold.

Ning Xiaoxian suddenly closed her eyes, slightly raised her head, clasped her hands behind her back, and walked forward.

With each step she took, her slender feet seemed to tread solidly on the ground, yet appeared detached and spaced out. If anyone were watching her advance at this moment, they would feel familiar with this girl’s visage, yet a slight bow or quick turn would make them forget completely, only knowing she seemed pretty, yet unable to recall her exact figure, only the harmony of this world akin to a painting lingers. Her demeanor resembled a leisurely stroll, but with two strides, she had already spanned over ten yards. (To be continued.
