Immortal Hero: I Can See the Success Rate - Chapter 85

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Night-time had arrived, and the stars shone brightly in the sky.

Lin An laid on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, just as he was deep in thought, a beautiful figure landed in front of his window, bringing with it a faint fragrance that lingered around the tip of his nose along with the breeze.

It was none other than the beautiful Scarlet Cloud Sect’s master, Shao Baifeng.

Her temperament was cold and ethereal, and she stood outside the window like an otherworldly fairy.

“Sect Leader Shao, you’re still awake?”

Shao Baifeng smiled faintly. Her eyes were bright, while her teeth were as white as snow.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, you must be joking. After cultivating to the nascent soul level, immortal cultivators no longer have the secular desire to sleep, so what’s the point of talking about sleep?”

When he heard her words, Lin An smiled and asked comfortingly, “Then what’s the matter, Sect Leader Shao? Come in and have a seat.”

Shao Baifeng waved her hand slightly. “There’s no need. I just want to have a few words with you.”

After a brief pause, she continued, “Does fellow Daoist Lin have a dream?”

Lin An was stunned. After thinking for a while, he replied, “To maintain world peace?”

Shao Baifeng laughed lightly. Her beautiful face was like the warm sun in the spring, and she changed the topic again. “Then, fellow Daoist Lin, have you ever thought of finding a place to settle down and cultivate on a daily basis instead of spending your days in slaughter?”

Lin An finally recalled that he hadn’t revealed that he was a disciple from the Jiuxiao Sect. It seemed that Shao Baifeng thought of him as a free-wheeling crane.

Additionally, the fact that he had displayed his might in the forest had clearly moved the Scarlet Cloud Sect disciples.

“Sect Master Shao, are you here to persuade me to join the Scarlet Cloud Sect?”

Shao Baifeng smiled, “That’s right. I’m rashly disturbing you because I want to invite you to join the sect. I’m willing to treat you as the first elder. I wonder if you would be interested?”

However, just as Lin An was about to reply, an arrogant clamor suddenly came from the mountain pass of the Scarlet Cloud sect.

“Shao Baifeng, have you prepared the spirit stones for this month?”

“Why aren’t you coming out to welcome us? If you neglect us, we might destroy the Scarlet Cloud Sect!”

“Shao Baifeng, our sect master is bringing people over. I advise you to hurry up. Otherwise, if our sect master doesn’t see the spirit stones when he arrives, your Scarlet Cloud Sect will bear the consequences!”

…

Shao Baifeng’s expression turned extremely unsightly, and she immediately explained to Lin An that the invaders were from the demonic sect.

They had always exploited spirit stones from the Scarlet Cloud Sect, and their strength was tyrannical. No one in the Chu An region dared to provoke them.

Previously, Lin An had heard from Shao Baifeng’s disciples that they would occasionally be bullied by other factions because they were weak. However, he hadn’t expected to encounter the bullies so quickly.

The invaders were so arrogant, and Lin An immediately understood how difficult it had been for Shao Baifeng, as the leader of the Scarlet Cloud Sect, to encourage and maintain her disciples for all those years.

A strong, angry feeling rose coldly in Lin An’s heart, and he left his shelter and walked towards the mountain gate.

When he arrived, Lin An saw more than a dozen cultivators dressed in white cloud robes shouting at the entrance.

Among the heckling crowd, there were two nascent soul cultivators, while the rest were all golden core stage cultivators.

Judging from the crowd, Lin An concluded that the disciple’s combat strength was equivalent to that of the Scarlet Cloud Sect. From the impostor’s arrogance, their leader was yet to arrive. No wonder they dared to be so arrogant.

“It’s so late at night, and you’re still barking like dogs. Do you have any sense of civic-mindedness?” Lin An scolded the two nascent soul stage cultivators.

The cultivators from the demonic sect were instantly stunned, and their sinister gazes instantly locked onto Lin An.

“Where did this kid, who doesn’t have enough hair, come from? He doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Hurry up and call that b*tch, Shao Baifeng!”

Lin An slowly shook his head as he tried to maintain his calm demeanor. “Since she doesn’t know how to speak the human language, then I think there’s no need for you to talk like that.”

Suddenly, a blast of golden and blue lightning covered Lin An’s body, and his figure instantly disappeared. The tail of lightning intertwined into a bright electric net, and the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword carried a murderous intent as it suddenly suppressed the pressure in the hearts of everyone present!

Poof!

The sound of the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword slicing through human flesh and blood rang out.

Lin An’s moves were too fast, and no one present, including the two nascent soul stage cultivators, could see his movements clearly.

After reaching the ninth stage of the golden core level, Lin An’s body was already comparable to that of a nascent soul stage cultivator under the tempering of the ‘Scripture of No Beginning.’

Naturally, the demonic sect cultivators couldn’t keep up.

Bang!

The helpless cry of one of the cultivator’s head hitting the ground startled the other disciples. Their expressions changed drastically, and they all used their magic treasures and techniques in an attempt to avenge their companions.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a few streaks of light pierced through the air. Shao Baifeng had rushed out accompanied by her Scarlet Cloud Sect disciples.

“Shao Baifeng! What do you mean by this? Are you going to start a war with us?” One of the demonic sect cultivators asked angrily.

For a long time, all of the small sects in the Chu An region had been the demon path cultivator’s targets.

Several sects had tried to resist their attacks, but in the end, they had all been defeated and obediently handed over their spirit stones.

However, Shao Baifeng didn’t pay attention to the demon path cultivators. Instead, she saluted Lin An and said, “Thank you, fellow Daoist Lin, for your help!”

“It was nothing. Killing a bug is nothing,” Lin An replied nonchalantly.

When they heard the mocking words, the demonic sect cultivators were furious.

One of the nascent soul stage cultivators looked at Lin An coldly and asked, “You are not from the Scarlet Cloud Sect! Why are you stopping us? Are you trying to make an enemy out of the entire demonic sect?”

No matter their location on the Cangyun Continent, the demonic sect cultivators were not a force to be underestimated. Furthermore, they were ruthless, and other immortal cultivators were unwilling to provoke them.

The members of the demonic sect were used to being domineering, so before a fight, they would use the reputation of their sect to threaten the enemy and gain a psychological advantage.

The tactic had been very effective. After learning that a group of cultivators was from the demonic sect, most challengers would choose to swallow their anger and voluntarily hand over their spirit stones to appease them.

However, Lin An did not seem intimidated.

“You guys should all attack me together and save me some time,” Lin An said coldly.

The nascent soul stage member from the demonic sect stared at Lin An and gritted his teeth as he said, “When our sect leader arrives, he will definitely massacre the Scarlet Cloud Sect. You’re finished. Today, both you and that sorry sect are finished. We won’t let any of you off.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure appeared from afar and quickly moved towards them.

Everyone present was shocked, and they all immediately raised their heads. At that moment, dozens of flying swords were rushing towards them, and on each flying sword, there was a powerful figure.

The demonic sect’s leader was a middle-aged man in the nascent soul stage. His sinister facial features revealed the evil nature in his heart.

Additionally, the two cultivators behind him were both nascent soul stage cultivators.

When he took in his surroundings, Lin An noted that the demonic sect had five nascent soul stage cultivators in total.

The demonic sect’s leader, whose name was Ran Gang, landed on the ground in an imposing manner. After sweeping his cold gaze across everyone present, his eyes finally landed on Lin An, and they exuded a sense of viciousness.

Rang Gang immediately sneered and said indifferently, ” You’re just a mere golden core stage kid. Do you actually know the immensity of heaven and earth? I’m going to teach you a painful lesson today.”
