Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

72: The Immortal’s Treasure, the Greedy Du BoChen Chuanwu pulled out his spear, and Dustless Master’s corpse fell to the ground.

A look of greed flashed in Du Bo’s eyes. He was impatient to loot the body, but seeing the surrounding soldiers, he immediately stopped.

”Chen Chuanwu, take your men and guard this area. No one is allowed within a hundred meters!”

Chen Chuanwu was no fool; he naturally knew Du Bo wanted to avoid prying eyes and clear the area. However, Chen Chuanwu had no desire to get involved in Immortal matters, so he cupped his hands and accepted the order.

”Yes, Company Commander!”

Chen Chuanwu acknowledged and then turned to the surrounding soldiers, saying:

”Follow me to stand guard a hundred meters away!”

The surrounding soldiers all complied and followed Chen Chuanwu away from Dustless Master’s corpse, heading a hundred meters out.

Fifteen minutes later, a beaming Du Bo finally walked out. He patted Chen Chuanwu’s shoulder and said with a smile:

”Chuanwu, you’ve rendered another great service this time. I will report this to the Great General to reward you!”

Chen Chuanwu stood silently. When he had previously charged at Dustless Master with his spear, he had already seen through Du Bo’s character.

Du Bo only viewed Chen Chuanwu as a tool; he would abandon him the moment he encountered danger or conflicting interests. He only promoted Chen Chuanwu to buy loyalty with a few small favors!

”Wait for me to report to the Immortal. All of you who took action will have your share of the credit!”

Du Bo was overjoyed at this moment and didn’t notice Chen Chuanwu’s expression. He waved his hand at the surrounding soldiers and prepared to go find the Immortal.

The soldiers who had participated also laughed, their eyes filled with anticipation for the rewards.

Du Bo went down the mountain to find the Immortal, while Chen Chuanwu and the others remained to guard Dustless Master’s corpse.

Just then, Chen Chuanwu suddenly felt a trace of a sharp Qi coming from his side.

Chen Chuanwu’s gaze turned solemn. Thinking an expert might be lying in ambush, he quietly followed that trace of sharp Qi.

Eventually, Chen Chuanwu arrived at a large tree a hundred meters away, which had a deep hollow in its trunk.

Chen Chuanwu was puzzled; what could be in the tree hollow that felt so incredibly sharp from just a trace of Qi?

Out of curiosity, Chen Chuanwu reached out his hand toward the tree hollow.

”There’s something...”

Chen Chuanwu felt himself touch something hard, and then he pulled it out of the tree hollow.

A green longsword appeared in Chen Chuanwu’s hand, but at this moment, it no longer possessed that sharp Qi. It looked extremely plain, like a discarded weapon that had been left for a long time.

Chen Chuanwu didn’t know that after losing its master, this sword had concealed its own brilliance. That previously spreading sharp Qi was the final resonance it emitted before the treasure obscured itself.

Only after this longsword recognized a new master would it once again display its unparalleled sharpness!

”The Immortal’s sword?”

Looking at this ancient longsword, Chen Chuanwu instantly remembered its origin.

For a moment, Chuanwu fell into a conflict. This sword was bound to be extraordinary in power. If he hid it away, no one would ever know, and the sword would belong to him!

But soon, the greed in his heart was extinguished!

He suddenly remembered his father’s warning: an Immortal’s methods are unpredictable; do not deceive an Immortal, or the consequences will be unforeseen. It was better to prioritize staying alive.

Subsequently, Chen Changsheng placed the longsword back into the tree hollow and returned to the team, acting as if he had discovered nothing!

Fifteen minutes later, the Immortal arrived before Dustless Master’s corpse, carrying Du Bo.

”Immortal, the corpse of that enemy Immortal is right here!”

Du Bo said with a flattering look to Lu Wujiang. Lu Wujiang did not respond and walked straight toward Dustless Master’s corpse.

”Hehe, Dustless Master, no matter what you do, you cannot escape my grasp!”

Seeing Dustless Master’s corpse, a triumphant expression appeared on Lu Wujiang’s face. Then, with a wave of his hand, the small cloth bag hanging from Dustless Master’s waist flew into his hand.

Lu Wujiang excitedly probed his Divine Sense into the cloth bag, but his expression suddenly shifted, becoming extremely unsightly.

”Where is his Flying Sword? Have any of you seen his Flying Sword?”

Under the pressure of a Foundation Establishment Immortal, everyone began to tremble. They didn’t know why the Immortal was so angry and didn’t dare to breathe for a moment.

”Speak! If you don’t speak, you shall all die!”

Lu Wujiang had clearly developed killing intent. He had tracked Dustless Master specifically for the Flying Sword on his person; that Flying Sword was a mid-grade spirit tool and the most valuable item Dustless Master possessed.

”My Lord, that Immortal’s corpse is right here, and none of us have touched it. We do not know where the Flying Sword you mentioned is!”

Du Bo gritted his teeth, prepared to endure. Seeing that even the Immortal cared so much about that sword, he knew it must be an incredibly precious treasure.

Since ancient times, risk and opportunity have coexisted. As long as he could deceive the Immortal, that treasure would belong to him, Du Bo.

”Hehe, you are truly naive. You think you can deceive me?”

Lu Wujiang sneered. Although he wasn’t certain if the Flying Sword had been stolen by these soldiers, he wouldn’t let even the slightest possibility slide.

”Although I do not know the soul-torturing methods of the Demonic Sect, I still know a couple of Soul Searching Techniques. Since you won’t admit it with your mouths, don’t blame me for searching your souls!”

Lu Wujiang’s tone was icy, and his eyes shot out a cold light. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed a soldier, pulled him over, and placed his hand on the man’s head.

A moment later, that soldier became a mindless person, drooling from the corner of his mouth and laughing incessantly.

”Du Bo, is it? In this soldier’s memory, you were the only one who approached Dustless Master’s corpse alone. What were you doing then?”

Lu Wujiang looked at Du Bo with a playful gaze. He had already caught the thief and was ninety percent certain that the Flying Sword had been taken by this officer!

Du Bo’s body began to tremble involuntarily. He had not expected the Immortal to have such a Heaven-Defying method to actually peer into someone else’s memories!

Furthermore, a person who underwent Soul Searching would become a fool. Du Bo had always been proud; he would never allow himself to become a mindless idiot, suffering humiliation without even realizing it.

However, confessing to Lu Wuchen now would not lead to a good end either. Given the other party’s cruel methods, he would certainly die.

”Exalted Immortal, my uncle is the Great General. Could you please spare my life?”

Du Bo knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowed to Lu Wuchen, trying to save his own life.

”Hehe, too late. A Mortal who dares to deceive and plot against an Immortal should know what kind of end awaits him!”

Lu Wujiang looked at Du Bo coldly, as if looking at an ant. In his view, Du Bo’s only remaining path was to hand over the Flying Sword and kneel to beg for death!

Although Du Bo had many schemes, he was also a man who dared to risk his life for military merit. At this moment, with no way to retreat, a trace of fierce nature surged within him instead!

”If you insist on my death, then you shall get nothing!”

Du Bo roared, then suddenly drew his blade and swiftly slit his own throat!

The scene was silent for a moment; no one expected Du Bo to die in such a manner.

”Argh! Who allowed you to die? You actually dared to die without my permission!”

Lu Wujiang’s frustrated roar echoed through the mountain forest. Du Bo had used his own life to launch a Mortal’s counterattack, causing Lu Wujiang—who thought he controlled everything and saw Mortals as mere ants—to suffer a setback!
