Chapter 523: Chapter 385: Dugu Yifang’s Killing Intent, Fusion Immortal Technique

Moon Worship Manor.

A place for cultivation, where numerous disciples gathered to comprehend the immortal techniques taught by the elders.

Yet among them, one female disciple seemed rather distracted.

The girl was strikingly pretty, with a well-proportioned figure, causing many of the male disciples to steal glances at her.

But her mind wasn’t here; it seemed to wander far away.

"Ziyue!"

The elder teaching immortal techniques above called out sharply, his eyes filled with displeasure.

Only then did Gao Ziyue snap back to reality.

"Elder Fang!"

Gao Ziyue answered respectfully.

Elder Fang slowly rose to his feet and walked over to Gao Ziyue.

"Your talent is quite good. How can you let your mind wander while cultivating? I know you long for the world outside, but at the very least, you need enough strength before you go out for training!"

Elder Fang spoke sincerely and earnestly.

This batch of cultivators from the Abandoned Land all possessed commendable talent.

Especially Gao Ziyue and Yu Lingfei; both of them were exceptionally gifted, having mastered the entry level of the Moon Worship Sword Technique within just a month.

Their cultivation had also broken through in quick succession, sure to achieve greatness in the future.

"Yes, Master, I will obediently follow your teachings!"

Gao Ziyue replied.

Yet her thoughts were elsewhere.

"Brother Lin, I heard you claimed first place on the Celestial Pride List, made your mark in the Immortal Realm, and caught the interest of the Immortal Palace. Someday, when I’ve learned enough, I’ll definitely come find you!"

Gao Ziyue thought silently to herself.

Still, she knew all too well—the gap between her and Lin Chang’sheng was only growing wider.

In the Immortal Realm, geniuses abounded, and her own talent was nothing worth mentioning.

But Lin Chang’sheng could stand out even among the best—a testament to how vast the difference was between them.

Not that Gao Ziyue expected too much; she only wished she could keep watching Brother Lin from afar.

...

Celestial Nether Sword Sect.

After Luo Shang returned to the sect, he kept a deep-seated anger bottled up inside, unable to vent it.

He couldn’t bear to keep it in any longer.

There hadn’t actually been any bad blood between him and Lin Chang’sheng.

But Lin Chang’sheng had killed his two cherished disciples, leaving a thorn in his heart.

Now, with the sect even forbidding any moves against Lin Chang’sheng, he was fuming inside.

"That brat’s so talented! If we don’t take him out before he grows up, he will definitely become a nightmare for our Celestial Nether Sword Sect someday!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Luo Shang clenched his fists tight, raging.

Of course, the sect wouldn’t let Lin Chang’sheng off so easily, but the Immortal Palace had already issued an Immortal Palace Order.

If they attacked Lin Chang’sheng now, it would mean openly falling out with the Immortal Palace.

Just to kill some kid, risking the entire sect—it obviously made no sense.

"Master! The Third Elder is here!"

As Luo Shang was fuming, a disciple walked into the great hall to report.

"The Third Elder?"

Luo Shang murmured; he didn’t really have much connection to the Third Elder, so why was he coming to see him now?

"Let him in!"

Though Luo Shang was puzzled, he wanted to see what this Third Elder had to say.

Soon, a middle-aged man in red robes slowly walked inside.

This man was different from Luo Shang; Luo Shang only gave off a heavy Evil Qi when wearing his ghost-faced mask.

But this man in red, even unmasked, radiated a powerful Evil Qi.

First, his face was already incomplete, marked by sword scars and wounds, looking murderous and intimidating.

Second, his entire presence was like a drawn sword, sharp and imposing—a dangerous feeling.

"Elder Liu, say what you came to say!"

Luo Shang didn’t beat around the bush, getting straight to it.

Liu Jianhui saw Luo Shang was annoyed, so he clearly understood what Luo Shang was thinking.

After all, Liu Jianhui was in the faction that agreed not to move against Lin Chang’sheng for now—completely the opposite of Luo Shang’s stance.

"I know you’re upset with me, Elder Luo, but please rest assured—even though we’re not acting against Lin Chang’sheng now, it doesn’t mean he’ll get off scot-free!"

Liu Jianhui said slowly.

"Oh?"

This piqued Luo Shang’s interest. "Does Elder Liu have a brilliant plan?"

"No grand scheme, but I’ve got a trick up my sleeve. Want to hear it?"

Liu Jianhui gave a faint smile.

"So long as we can kill Lin Chang’sheng and get rid of this threat to the Celestial Nether Sword Sect, I’ll gladly listen!"

Luo Shang’s attitude flipped completely.

"There’s something you probably didn’t know, Elder Luo. I have a nephew cultivating in the Immortal Palace right now. Hardly anyone knows it, not even most folks in the Palace. As soon as Lin Chang’sheng arrives at the Immortal Palace, it won’t be safe for him—he’ll be walking right into a trap!"

Liu Jianhui said with absolute confidence.

But Luo Shang frowned. "Lin Chang’sheng is strong—it’s not easy for even an Integration Stage cultivator to kill him. Your nephew—?"

"Don’t worry, Elder Luo. My nephew’s at the Late Stage of Integration—a match for Lin Chang’sheng! I’ll send him a message right now. Elder Luo, all you need to do is wait for good news."

Liu Jianhui was absolutely confident in his nephew.

If a Late Stage Integration cultivator can’t handle a Void Refining Stage cultivator, then what’s the point of cultivating?

"Good! I’ll wait for your good news, Elder Liu!"

Despite some concerns, Luo Shang really had no other options and could only wait for promising news.

...

Immortal Monarch City.

"What? The Second Lord has been killed? Where did you hear that?"

"You guys didn’t know? Someone saw a fierce battle in the mountains thirty thousand miles from here—the ground stained with blood, all of the Second Lord’s men slaughtered! You tell me if the Second Lord could still be alive."

"Wait, are you saying Lin Chang’sheng did it? But I heard he only has Middle Stage Void Refining Cultivation! How could he possibly kill an Integration Stage powerhouse?"
