Cultivation: Being Immortal - Chapter 221

Outside the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom.

The four big families were still attacking, but suddenly they realized something was off. Just now, the Heavenly Wall cracked like ice hit by a stone, but now it was back to normal.

The two Tao Achieving Ancestors stopped attacking. If there are no problems inside the Divine Kingdom, they still can’t break through this weird formation.

“Or else, send someone in to investigate?”

“Who should we send?”

The two of them discussed. Anyone who went into the Divine Kingdom never came out. Going in is just like going to their death. Who would dare to go in?

“Lin Rong, you go in and investigate.”

“Ancestor, I…”

“What’s wrong? Our words don’t count anymore?”

“Ancestor, spare me…”

“Just take a look. We’ll support you from outside, nothing will happen. Go quickly.”

Another elder named Tao Achieving Ancestor spoke up. Both of them gave orders at the same time, causing Lin Rong, whose Nascent Soul was named, to feel like crying. He hesitated for a moment until he saw the displeased expressions on their faces. Then, he clenched his teeth and flew towards the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom.

In just a few breaths, Lin Rong disappeared from the awareness of everyone present. Someone contacted the Lin family, one of the four major families, and quickly received news that Lin Rong’s Soul Lamp had extinguished.

“What should we do?”

“I don’t know either. Let’s continue to find someone to refine the eighth-grade Breaking Array Pearl. That’s the easiest method I know to break the formation.”

“Letting Li Yuncheng go like this is really frustrating.”

“What else can we do? The Iron Black Turtle is impenetrable. We can only suppress him for a hundred thousand years if we catch him.”

The two elders felt helpless. If Li Yuncheng were a cultivator, he would have died countless times already, even if he had achieved the Tao. But as a Formation Spirit, they truly didn’t know how to deal with him. At least, not at this moment.

Just as the two of them were discussing a retreat, leaving only a few people to watch, Lin Rong’s body was brought out. Of course, everything had been stripped from him.

“Someone asked me to deliver a message to you: the vendetta won’t end until death.”

Li Yuncheng appeared, transformed into a body, and said to everyone.

“Did you team up with Lin Batian?”

“The message has been delivered, you can continue now.”

“The day of breaking the formation will be the day of the Li family’s extinction.”

“Ha ha”

Li Yuncheng had a calm expression, then quickly disappeared. Everyone tried to threaten him with this, but he didn’t care anymore.

Back at the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom, Lin Batian was already distributing rewards. Lin Rong’s appearance was timely, saving him a spirit stone and giving various resources to the members of the Immortal Alliance to help them recover their strength.

“Friend Zhou, don’t be so serious. We’re still friends, and you’ll always have my support…”

Lin Batian showed great concern towards Zhou Huaiying, almost overflowing with a flattering smile. Who could have imagined that just two hours ago, they were about to have a big argument.

“That father of mine, his shamelessness is really infuriating!”

Lin Jiang looked at Lin Batian, who was being very friendly with Zhou Huaiying and a few Soul Changing members, and instantly felt disdainful. Why doesn’t he have any grace?

“Taoist Friend Xiao”

“Hey, hey, I’m here, it’s Friend Taoist Yi…”

“Hello, friend Taoist, I’m Xiao Yi. Let’s be friends. If there’s anything, you can talk to me when we’re outside.”

“Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, it’s Xiao Yi here. Leave me your address so we can meet up for tea in the future.”

“Wow, Brother Chen, you look even more handsome with the spiritual energy restored. Remember to… ”

········

“Why haven’t you left yet?”

Outside Jingdu City, Lin Jiang and Lin Batian watched as Zhou Huaiying and others left the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom. Lin Batian turned to Lin Jiang and asked.

“I came here to find you, what do you say?”

“Isn’t everything alright now?”

“I am willing to stay, what’s the problem?”

“Why do you talk without respect, no manners?”

“Working with you is frustrating, everything is vague and unclear. I don’t even know half of the plan.”

Lin Jiang didn’t pay much attention. He knew Lin Batian was in a good mood now, but he wasn’t. Throughout this battle, he cooperated, not to mention having the initiative, he didn’t even know the overall plan. He felt like a puppet, cooperating with Lin Batian, which made him very unhappy.

“Your strength is not enough, even if you know, what difference does it make?”

“Tell me, how did you persuade Li Yuncheng, and how did you understand Zhou Huaiying without speaking?”

“Didn’t I say before, I am the most sincere person, so they like to be friends with me.”

“I believed your trick, you are a really bad old man.”

“Haha, you little rabbit, be more careful in your actions from now on.”

Lin Batian laughed loudly, his own grandson, he wouldn’t hit him, otherwise, he would be idle, so he might as well give him a beating first.

“How are you going to handle the Divine Kingdom’s matter?”

“It depends on my mood, if you fancy any beauties, feel free to take them away and expand the Lin family for me.”

“Give me a few days to handle it.”

“Anyway, just don’t bother me, I have something to attend to and need to leave for a while.”

Lin Batian waved his hand and then disappeared without a trace, Lin Jiang shook his head and flew back to Jingdu City.

Many people died in Jingdu City, and the ground was filled with bones. The sound of wailing echoed through the air. The most important thing is that the leader of the Divine Kingdom almost died. The emperor was poisoned and killed by Jade Concubine. The interesting thing about this poison is that as long as you keep taking it, nothing happens. But if you stop, the poison will take effect. So Lin Jiang can control when the emperor will die.

Most of the ministers and princes died, so the whole Jingdu City is now in chaos. Lin Jiang looked around and found a surviving prince. He was an unpopular prince who didn’t have much presence, so he survived.

Lin Jiang grabbed him and flew to the palace. Facing the remaining people, he said. This person will be your new emperor from now on.

“Listen, in the name of the emperor, gather your troops, stabilize the hearts of the people. There has been enough bloodshed and sacrifice.”

Lin Jiang said to the prince, after this battle, the population of the Divine Kingdom has decreased by more than half. Countless people have died. Now that the situation is over, there is no need to continue sacrificing lives.

“Yes, yes, immortal.”

The prince was extremely frightened and could only nod in agreement, not daring to say anything else.

Lin Jiang ignored him and went straight to the harem in the palace. Jade Concubine was hiding in the palace with a few palace maids and other concubines that Lin Jiang had sent in. When she saw Lin Jiang’s arrival, she showed a happy smile.

“I greet the immortal.”

“What do you plan to do now that the Divine Kingdom’s affairs are over?”

“According to the orders of the immortal, Yu’er has avenged her enemies and feels no regrets.”

Jade Concubine looked at Lin Jiang with admiration in her eyes. Lin Jiang has been her teacher for many years, and she has long been convinced by him.

“You can no longer stay in the palace. You can choose to find a place to live in seclusion. If you want to get married, I will help you find a good husband.”

“Yu’er is willing to serve by the side of the immortal.”

“Being a cultivator is very dangerous and not suitable.”

“Yu’er is not afraid. As long as the immortal doesn’t mind Yu’er’s humble background.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang suddenly felt a headache. Although he is straightforward, he is not as stubborn as steel. That look in Jade Concubine’s eyes was simply unbearable.

Lin Jiang doesn’t have any qualms about her humble background. Lin Jiang is not that traditional. It’s just that a cultivator and an ordinary person are not quite compatible. Lin Jiang actually wants to match her with Xiao Changkong, the leader of the uprising. This person is the one Lin Jiang values the most in Changhe County and can be considered as a half-disciple.

“Fairy Chief…”

Seeing Lin Jiang remain silent, Jade Concubine’s tears began to fall, looking miserable.

“Stop crying, I taught you better than this.”

“Yuer, Yuer…”

“So it’s showing true feelings, huh?”

“Hmm…”

“Alright, I will take you with me.”

Lin Jiang shook his head, feeling conflicted between being a hero and dealing with the beautiful yet scandalous Jade Concubine, whose beauty was beyond doubt in the eyes of the late Emperor Li Si.

However, Lin Jiang still had to act like a scumbag and abandon her at the Lin family after leaving the Divine Kingdom. He needed to run away.

Jade Concubine immediately smiled. She was really good at acting, crying when she needed to and deserving to be an award-winning actress.

“Enchanter, we are also willing…”

When the other concubines heard this, they were all tempted. It seemed better to follow the Enchanter than to remain widows of a deceased emperor. However, before they could finish speaking, Jade Concubine shot them a glance that silenced them all.

“If any of you want to leave, you can go. You have worked hard all these years.”

Lin Jiang didn’t care about that. He had treated these people personally and some had even died over the years. He had made sure they wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

Jade Concubine’s face dropped and she became unhappy when she heard this. These few rebelled and they were no match for her in the Divine Kingdom. She had already defeated them in the palace struggles, and now they dared to fight again. She would show them who was in control.
