Immortal of the Nine Realms

As the immortal boat approached, everyone finally realized how massive it was. It was so huge it covered half of the capital. The immortal maidens dancing on it were giants, each standing twenty or thirty feet tall.

People’s eyes widened in horror. They all felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe in the face of such a spectacle.

Upon hearing the divine voice, both the late-stage Golden Core Realm expert from the Jue Family and Jue Feichen showed sudden fear, trembling involuntarily with faces as pale as 7-day-old corpses.

The divine voice continued to echo in everyone’s ears.

”Is the descendant of the Jiang family here...?”

The three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were the first to react, bowing respectfully toward the immortal boat. ”Junior pays respects to the seniors!”

”Is this the friend of the Jiang Family that the woman in plain clothes mentioned?” Fang Chen muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Fang Chen remained calm. He didn’t dare to let his divine soul wander, fearing that these powerful beings might detect his soul, similar to what the senior who had given him the Greenwood Token had been able to do. Not all of these strong individuals had the same temperament as Senior Yun He and that other elder. Among them might be formidable figures like the Supreme Immortal Pudu.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the female sword cultivator next to Fairy Yu. ”Isn’t this the Immortal Giant Sect?! Why did a powerful figure from the Immortal Giant Sect come here?”

Fairy Yu hurriedly asked via voice transmission, ”Senior Sister, what is the Immortal Giant Sect?”

It was rare for her senior sister to show such astonishment. After all, only outsiders who knew they were disciples of the Void Immortal Sword Sect would see them display such expressions.

”It’s an ancient sect which has been in seclusion for many years. It’s unexpected to see them here today. Look at the cultivators from the Immortal Giant Sect. The more they cultivate, the larger their stature becomes, and the larger their stature, the stronger their abilities! These maidservants are all twenty to thirty feet tall, like small mountains. Each of them is likely in the Middle Three Realms of cultivation….”

Fairy Yu was slightly dazed. ”Middle Three Realms….”

The Qi Refinement, Foundation Building, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages were only the Early Four Realms. Reaching the Middle Three Realms meant becoming top-tier experts in the world, something not commonly seen even in the Void Immortal Sword Sect. Yet these maidservants before them were likely at that level. How terrifying were the abilities of the owner of this immortal boat?

The divine voice rang out again, heavy as a divine mountain pressing down on them.

”I’m going to ask one more time. Is the descendant of the Jiang Family here?”

The three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators felt immense pressure, as if the divine voice were directly bearing down on them. Immortal White Tiger replied with difficulty, ”Reporting to the seniors, it seems that there are no descendants of the Jiang Family here….”

”Lass, your ancestors’ friend has come to take you. Quickly follow this senior and leave,” Fang Chen yelled suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Tianai.

The members of the Fang Family looked at each other in disbelief.

”Could it be true? Does she have such a significant background?”

Li Cang and Chang Feilan were shocked. They had been looking after this girl for some time, but they had never imagined her background to be this terrifying!

”Has the Jue Family gone mad? Would they dare to confront someone with such a background?”

”I think the Jue Family is done for this time!”

People whispered to each other, some subconsciously expressing their fear, while others intentionally or unintentionally pointed fingers at the Jue Family. They believed that the senior must be able to hear them.

“Hmm, indeed, she is a descendant of the Jiang family.”

The voice of the immortal boat’s owner rang out again. Although the crowd couldn’t see this person, they could feel his gaze landing on Jiang Tianai.

”This girl….”

The three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

Fang Wanli looked strange, glancing at Fang Chen, then at Jiang Tianai. He couldn’t help but transmit his voice to Fang Tianjian, ”Uncle...”

”Shut up.”

Fang Tianjian glared at him, then remained silent, waiting quietly for the situation to unfold.

The owner of the immortal boat spoke again. ”Young lady, I have an old relationship with your ancestors. I once promised them to take care of the descendants of the Jiang Family. Come with me.”

Jiang Tianai’s expression changed slightly, and she suddenly rushed toward Fang Chen’s direction.

Immortal White Tiger’s mind stirred, and he immediately withdrew his barrier.

Jiang Tianai threw herself into Fang Chen’s arms. ”Young Master, when I’ve achieved success in my cultivation, I will come to visit you!”

Fang Chen held Jue Wudi in one hand and gently patted her head with the other. A soft smile eventually appeared on his face. ”Go ahead.”

Jiang Tianai turned around and left, leading Jiang Zhong toward the immortal boat.

At that moment, where would Jue Feichen dare to stop her? He lowered his head and remained silent.

A faint light rose from under Jiang Tianai and Jiang Zhong’s feet, carrying them toward the immortal boat.

Jiang Zhong looked somewhat excited. ”Senior, this old servant and the young Lady came to Grand Qian for the sake of joining the Jue Family, who once served as slaves in my family. We never expected them to be treacherous and want to harm the Young Lady! Please, senior, uphold justice on our behalf!”

“What! The Jue Family were servants?”

”No way…!”

”This is highly possible! The backgrounds of these two are obviously extraordinary!”

”Is the Jue Family repaying kindness with enmity?”

Jiang Zhong’s voice caused a commotion among the cultivators present.

The descendants of the Jue Family looked bewildered as if they didn’t know what was happening.

The expressions of the Jue Family’s late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator and Jue Feichen turned extremely ugly, their eyes filled with fear.

The owner of the immortal boat said indifferently, ”A slave turning against their masters? We’ll just kill them then.”

One of the graceful dancing maidens suddenly stopped and looked down at the two Golden Core Realm cultivators from the Jue Family, who immediatelly knelt down with a thud, shouting, ”Senior, there’s a grand karmic debt on the Jiang family. Anyone who gets close to them is bound to be devoured by karma. We had no choice but to do so. Senior, you can’t blame us for this!”

The voice of the immortal boat’s owner rang out again. ”The karma of the Jiang Family has been worn down over these many years. Even if there’s a bit left, with my cultivation level, I can bear whatever consequences severing the thread brings.”

The late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Jue Family suddenly looked dazed and lost.

The Jiang family... was it no longer the same as before?

A ray of light flashed, and the head of the late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator from the Jue Family fell to the ground with a thud.

Without waiting for the others to react, another ray of light flashed, and Jue Feichen’s head also fell to the ground.

”Only these two knew the truth, the rest are innocent,” said the owner of the immortal boat, addressing Jiang Zhong.

Jiang Zhong looked at the lifeless bodies of the two, feeling a surge of bitterness in his heart. He turned and bowed respectfully in the direction where Fang Chen was, his voice hoarse, ”Young Master Fang, till we meet again!”

Fang Chen remained silent, just nodding lightly.

In his perception, the two had already boarded the immortal boat, escorted by two giant-like maidens, and taken to its depths.

The next moment, the immortal boat disappeared into the void, as if it had never been there, leaving only the two Golden Core Realm corpses on the ground to tell the others that a mighty being had been here moments ago.

Several breaths passed without any sound at the scene, making it incredibly quiet.

The Jue Family disciples looked bewildered with a hint of panic.

Instinctively, the Jue Family Foundation Building Realm cultivators rushed to the two corpses. When they discovered that the vitality of the two had been completely drained, their expressions turned incredibly pale.

With the Golden Core Realm cultivators of the Jue Family gone, the Jue Family... would fall from grace!
