Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 752: Chapter 499: Coercion? Xiaobai’s Intimidation_2

Even a stalemate could wear the other side down to death.

”Think carefully about what I said. Join my Immortal Martial Hall—it’s definitely far better than wasting away in the Immortal Palace!”

At this moment, Luo Juetian couldn’t help but urge Lin Chang’sheng again, clearly hoping Lin Chang’sheng would agree to join the Immortal Martial Hall.

”Survive first, then we’ll talk!”

With that, Lin Chang’sheng stepped out of the Holy Soul Banner.

But as soon as he emerged, Guo Yunchu gave him a fierce kick. ”Where’s my Divine Liquid?”

Guo Yunchu knew Lin Chang’sheng had made it out alive, which meant the Heaven-Reaching Sect had been destroyed by him, so surely he’d gotten the Divine Liquid.

”What I seized for myself—what does it have to do with you?”

Lin Chang’sheng replied unhappily.

Guo Yunchu was from the Immortal Martial Hall, so there was no reason for Lin Chang’sheng to hand over the Divine Liquid to her and let her heal her veins.

Otherwise, with her veins restored, who knew what trouble she’d stir up for him?

Broken veins suited her better; she wouldn’t make too many waves, and he could keep her in check.

”You—”

Guo Yunchu was furious at Lin Chang’sheng’s quick change of face; she never guessed he’d turn on her so fast.

Not giving Guo Yunchu a chance to argue, Lin Chang’sheng threw her straight back into the storage ring.

Gu Shan could see this wasn’t Lin Chang’sheng’s wish, but he had no choice given the situation.

”Will this array hold him?”

Gu Shan asked.

”Probably not for long!”

Lin Chang’sheng watched Luo Juetian’s self-confidence—he clearly had an ace up his sleeve.

If he couldn’t kill him, then he’d have to use Guo Yunchu as leverage.

So Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t about to give Guo Yunchu the Divine Liquid now. If she recovered her veins, she might team up with Luo Juetian to deal with him.

Though he’d let his guard down with Guo Yunchu these days, and had grown a bit fond of her,

now wasn’t the time to be swayed by feelings.

Solving the crisis in front of him came first.

”So what do we do now?”

Gu Shan was helpless against a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing expert.

”Don’t worry. When push comes to shove, Xiaobai will step in!”

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

”Xiaobai? You mean—?”

Gu Shan seemed to remember something?

When he’d taken the Divine Liquid, a mysterious woman had shown up inside the cave.

Her cultivation was extraordinary—he’d felt tremendous pressure, and wondered how Lin Chang’sheng had befriended such a powerful figure.

And judging by their interaction, they seemed pretty close.

Inside the array.

As time wore on, Luo Juetian felt his Divine Soul slowly being suppressed, almost as if it would tear free from his body.

The aura he’d released was fading, no longer as formidable as at the start.

Roar—

Hroar—

Many powerful Demon Beasts, freed from Luo Juetian’s pressure, erupted with deafening howls.

Then, like a flood, they surged toward him in waves.

Luo Juetian could only keep swinging his Immortal Treasure, slashing down the Demon Beasts charging at him, one after another.

But the monsters kept coming—no matter how many he killed, the horde only grew.

And the fallen beasts would fuse together, forming even stronger Demon Beasts.

”This array is that powerful?”

Even Luo Juetian was in awe—if Lin Chang’sheng had set this up himself, his mastery of arrays was almost monstrous.

He figured the array couldn’t be broken without at least reaching the Immortal Realm.

For someone at Late Mahayana Stage to arrange such a formation—truly unbelievable.

Luckily, Luo Juetian had a backup; he grabbed a golden pill from his storage bag and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the elixir took effect, radiant light burst from him, and a massive Celestial God phantom appeared behind his back.

Luo Juetian’s power skyrocketed; in a matter of breaths, he broke through to the Immortal Realm!

”Break!”

Luo Juetian roared, punching out with a single palm and shattering the array in an instant.

He then rushed out of the Holy Soul Banner.

As soon as he emerged, Luo Juetian unleashed his Immortal Power, pinning Lin Chang’sheng where he stood.

Seeing how fast Luo Juetian had broken free, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but be stunned.

”Kid, I’ll ask you one last time. Will you come with me to the Immortal Martial Hall?”

Luo Juetian demanded again.

If Lin Chang’sheng refused, he’d have only himself to blame.

With Immortal Power, Luo Juetian could crush him with one finger.

”Stop wasting your breath!”

Lin Chang’sheng shot back coldly.

Even if he joined the Immortal Martial Hall, he doubted he’d get a good outcome—Luo Juetian wasn’t the one in charge after all.

Guo Tiangang called the shots.

And Lin Chang’sheng had a history with Guo Tiangang; that guy would never let him go.

”Then you’re dead!”

Luo Juetian snapped, ready to crush Lin Chang’sheng and grab Guo Yunchu before heading back to report.

After consuming the pill, he’d soon fall into a period of weakness.

This had to be settled fast.

”Try me!”

Just as Luo Juetian prepared to strike Lin Chang’sheng dead—

Xiaobai’s icy voice rang out, and a streak of white light burst out from Lin Chang’sheng’s spirit beast bag.

In the next instant, she landed between Lin Chang’sheng and Luo Juetian, locking eyes with him.

Luo Juetian’s brows furrowed at the sight.

This woman’s beauty defied description; she was nothing Human Race could produce.

”The Demon Race?”

Luo Juetian was startled—Lin Chang’sheng had such a powerful demon ally at his side?

And her strength was no joke.

From her aura alone, she was at least equal to him right now.

”I know you’ve walked a hard path in cultivation. Leave now, or else—”

As Xiaobai finished, she waved her hand, and a mountain a hundred yards away was split in two, crashing down in a thunderous heap.

”Immortal Power?”

Luo Juetian was stunned. No wonder the Hall Master had sent so many experts to kill Lin Chang’sheng, but none succeeded.

Turns out Lin Chang’sheng was under the protection of a Great Immortal Realm Demon Beast!

”No wonder you won’t join my Immortal Martial Hall. Looks like I underestimated you. The mountains and rivers will never change—we’ll see who laughs last!”

Luo Juetian spat out one final warning and fled.

He knew with such a powerhouse on Lin Chang’sheng’s side, he couldn’t possibly kill him.

With the pill’s power still lingering, escaping now was the only smart move—if he stayed until the effect faded, he might not get the chance to leave at all.

But what Luo Juetian didn’t know was, Xiaobai was bluffing.

If they really fought, there was no telling who’d win.

After all, Xiaobai hadn’t yet recovered to her full strength.

And in a blink, Luo Juetian vanished into the sky.

”Xiaobai, why didn’t you kill him?”

Lin Chang’sheng asked.

Slaying him would mean tons of treasures.

”He used a pill to break into the Immortal Realm. If I fought him, I’d burn too much Immortal Power—not worth it!”

Having said that, Xiaobai slipped back into the spirit beast bag.

Lin Chang’sheng could only let her go.

”I’ve really got to break through to Tribulation Crossing soon!”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself—if he reached the Early Stage, he could use Divine Dragon Power to step into the Middle Stage, and by then, even facing Late Stage adversaries wouldn’t leave him so powerless.

Sure, the Corpse Puppet had no problem with regular Late Stage Tribulation Crossing foes, but up against someone wielding a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, it was a different story.

The power of those immortal treasures was too great—they’d easily cleave the Corpse Puppet in half.

”Let’s go!”

After all the chaos, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t dare linger; summoning the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle, he soared toward the distant horizon.

”Where to now?”

Gu Shan asked.

”Ice and Snow Continent!”

Lin Chang’sheng’s trip wasn’t just for the Divine Liquid; the real goal was to see Yan Zhen in the Ice and Snow Continent.

It had been ages—he wondered if Yan Zhen was doing well.

Back when they parted, Yan Zhen told Lin Chang’sheng that if he reached Mahayana Stage, he could come visit her in Cold Ice Continent.

He didn’t know the details, but Lin Chang’sheng was sure Yan Zhen wouldn’t harm him.

”Ice and Snow Continent?”

Gu Shan was so shocked, his heart skipped.

”You’ve been there?”

Seeing Gu Shan’s obvious reaction, Lin Chang’sheng grew curious—Gu Shan must’ve been there before.

”I did go once back in the day. That place is no walk in the park!”

Thinking back on his own experience in Ice and Snow Continent, Gu Shan shivered in fear.

He just hoped Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t be heading for the forbidden grounds.
