Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Tomorrow, I Shall Slay the Immortals! (3rd update)
“`

This sentence left the entire venue in dead silence.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Zhu Lei was the first to ask, “Did they say anything?”

The messenger nodded, hesitated as he glanced at Xue An, and then spoke.

“After the master of the Immortal Palace, Fu Wuliang, returned, he flew into a great rage and decreed that at the hour of zi tomorrow, he demands… demands that this lord present himself to face death.”

Boom!

The entire banquet was thrown into turmoil.

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

No one had expected the master of the Immortal Palace to return so soon.

And even more so, to specify and demand the killing of Xue An by name.

This time…, it seemed this man had no way to get through it.

After all, that was a Golden Immortal!

What did it mean to be a Golden Immortal?

In the vast Kunlun Immortal Realm, while Loose Immortals may not be as common as hairs on an ox, there were still quite a few!

And those at Half-step Longevity were not rare either.

Only those in the Longevity Realm were considered valuable, and could be leaders of their own domain.

Those at the peak of Longevity were dubbed unparalleled heavenly prodigies!

The true Half-step Golden Immortals were exceedingly rare!

And Fu Wuliang, the master of the Immortal Palace, was a real Golden Immortal!

He could be considered the supreme overlord of Kunlun, an exceptional master!

Thinking this, some people started to slip away quietly.

For them, if the Immortal Palace didn’t pursue the matter, Xue An, whose reputation was like the midday sun, was worth associating with.

But now, Xue An himself might not even survive until dawn, naturally losing his value as an ally.

Moreover, if they stayed too long and consequently incurred the Immortal Palace’s resentment, that would spell disaster.

With this thought, very quickly, the majority of the guests had sneaked away from the banquet.

Only Zhu Lei and others remained, sitting at the main table with awkward expressions.

However, they were also contemplating ways to extricate themselves.

Soon, Zhu Lei coughed twice.

“Hehe, I never expected that this venerated lord would return so soon! It truly is beyond words!”

As he spoke, Zhu Lei kept glancing at Xue An.

He had expected Xue An to show a look of panic, but unexpectedly, Xue An just gave a faint smile.

“His return is timely; if he hadn’t come, I was just about to seek him out.”

Boom!

Zhu Lei and the others looked astonished, exchanging glances, and then showed disbelief.

In their eyes, Xue An was no longer just being arrogant.

He was simply overestimating his own ability.

So after a brief moment of thought, Zhu Lei and the others excused themselves from the table.

“It just so happens that there’s an urgent matter at home, so I must beg your pardon!”

Having said that, they hurriedly left.

Before they left, they didn’t even greet Zhu Ruyan.

Watching the group flee in disarray, Zhu Ruyan’s expression was extremely grim, and her eyes reddened.

In her view, Xue An had come because of her face.

But she hadn’t expected such a turn of events to cause all these so-called senior brothers to flee in panic.

It was a direct slap on Zhu Ruyan’s face.

“Lord!” Zhu Ruyan said with infinite grievance.

Xue An smiled lightly, replying coolly, “Let them go! Human nature is just like this.”

At this moment, the once lively banquet hall had completely quieted down.

Only Xue An, Zhu Ruyan, and Lu Xunxue were left.

She hadn’t left either but sat there with a blank look on her face.

“Xunxue senior sister, what are you thinking about?” Zhu Ruyan, seeing that Lu Xunxue hadn’t left, felt a trace of warmth in her heart.

Coming back to her senses, Lu Xunxue gave a wry smile, “Thinking nothing!”

Then she turned to look at Xue An, “Lord, I know your cultivation level is unparalleled, but facing a multitude of powerful enemies, perhaps you should consider evading them for the time being!”

Zhu Ruyan quickly nodded in agreement.

“`

Though she had infinite trust in Xue An, facing the Lord of the Immortal Palace, she still lacked confidence in her heart.

Xue An neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead, he picked up a cup of wine and slowly drank it down before speaking indifferently, “Ru Yan!”

“Present!”

“Spread the word, tomorrow, I will execute an immortal!”

Zhu Ruyan trembled all over, then exchanged a glance with Lu Xunxue, both seeing the concern in each other’s eyes.

It didn’t take half a day.

The news of Lord Fu Wuliang’s return to the Immortal Palace had spread throughout the entirety of Kunlun City.

And then, the news that Fu Wuliang was furiously demanding to execute Xue An the next day spread even more rapidly.

All were trembling at the news.

Everyone remembered the fear they once felt under the dominion of the Immortal Palace.

The Noble families and sects also came to know of the news immediately.

The reactions of these people varied, but almost no one was optimistic about Xue An’s chances.

The Night Devil Palace, Thousand Snow Sect, and others who had suffered heavy losses, were all excited, believing that Xue An was as good as dead.

There were also many who thought that Xue An would definitely not meet the challenge and would probably find an excuse to flee.

However, to their surprise, news of Xue An accepting the challenge followed shortly.

Especially that sentence, “Tomorrow, I will execute an immortal!”

It caused an uproar across the world.

Nearly everyone thought Xue An was outlandishly arrogant.

Immortal Palace.

Fu Wuliang sat atop his throne in the great hall, his face cold and impassive as he listened to his subordinate’s report.

He was in his forties, with a light golden complexion, and his eyes were as deep as the ocean. Sitting there, he exuded the majesty akin to a True Dragon, an Imperial Son, Supreme in the nine heavens.

Upon hearing that sentence about executing an immortal,

Fu Wuliang suddenly had countless sparks appear around him, igniting and extinguishing spontaneously, yet the entire great hall became scorchingly hot.

“Execute an immortal? Hah! How long has it been since I last heard that phrase?”

The messenger trembled as he bowed his head low.

Suddenly, a flame sprouted above his head. He had barely begun to let out a half scream when the fire reduced him entirely to ashes.

This cruel spectacle caused everyone in the great hall to remain silent as if stricken by cold.

Fu Wuliang tapped his fingers lightly against the armrest of his throne, his expression unflustered.

“Even though you are just relaying the message, having uttered that sentence, you deserve death!”

“As for Xue An…”

In Fu Wuliang’s eyes, two golden flames appeared, “I will roast you bit by bit to death! Only then will the hatred in my heart be extinguished!”

Fu Wuliang truly hated Xue An with a passion.

Upon his return, he found that the Immortal Palace’s Mountain Protection Array had been breached, and the Imperial Son he had carefully cultivated had fallen.

All these events had enraged him!

And they gave him a deep sense of dread.

In his view, if Xue An were not eliminated, he would become a great threat!

The next day.

The atmosphere in Kunlun City had become somewhat somber.

Many no longer dared to watch the excitement and hid at home.

But the streaks of light in the sky never stopped.

The whole of Kunlun was shaken by the news.

Everyone who could come had almost all arrived!

Although the Immortal Palace had always acted domineeringly, it was, after all, a native power.

Xue An, however, had come from the ordinary world.

Thus, many wanted to see how Xue An would meet his defeat.

When they arrived outside the Immortal Palace,

they saw dozens of Loose Immortals coming in and out; such a show of force left many people shaken.

Centuries of operation had made the strength of the Immortal Palace unfathomable, only it wasn’t usually on display.

Yet now, for the sake of Xue An, its brilliance was revealed.

“Do you think this Xue An dares to come?” someone said.

“I expect he’s already fled! After all, that’s a Golden Immortal who suppresses the current age! Why wouldn’t it be seeking death to come?”

While these people were discussing animatedly, they saw from the deserted street in the distance, a man was slowly approaching.
