Longzang

Chapter 1146 Harvest
As soon as the Eye of the Six Realms appeared, the immortals retreated, and even Zhao Li Immortal disappeared without saying goodbye to Wei Yuan.

The Six Realms Eye, empowered by the Spirit Palace, was far too domineering. Even immortals struggled to withstand it, and their immortal techniques were all somewhat neutralized without exception. Therefore, the immortals retreated not because of the sheer power of the Six Realms Eye itself, but because they feared their weaknesses would be exposed and revealed to their enemies. So they all fled as quickly as possible, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

After the immortals disappeared, Wei Yuan stood on the azure sky and suddenly felt extremely tired.

From the moment Wei Yuan met Lü Changhe until the end of the battle, less than half an hour had passed. But in Wei Yuan's mind, this battle felt like it had lasted for over a century.

Every breath, every instant, brings about a change in the situation; the attitude and thoughts of each immortal are unfathomable. Moreover, those who appear one after another are all immortals; even Xu Shuhe is not merely a pawn, but a player wielding the pieces. A player appearing as a pawn is itself the greatest variable.

The game involves numerous immortals, with strategies spanning hundreds or even thousands of years. There are simply too many variables and too much chaos, and no one can predict what will happen next.

When the Lord was about to leave the battlefield, Wei Yuan was actually prepared to die, but he was considering how to make the Lord pay the greatest price for it.

At that time, the Lord was unchecked, and whoever he chose to strike would die.

In his final moments, Wei Yuan considered summoning the Buddha back to his rightful place, but he could only vaguely sense the Buddha's golden form and could not summon it.

Wei Yuan had considered asking the Power Witch for help beforehand, but as a Celestial Witch, Jiu Mu's every move was under the world's scrutiny. Moreover, given Wei Yuan's authority and strength in the Desolate Realm, the teleportation portal he opened was simply insufficient for a Celestial Witch to pass through. Not to mention Celestial Witches, even Yao Lan, who was not yet a Celestial Witch but merely a Desolate Witch when they first met, couldn't get through.

Therefore, the sudden opening of the Desolate Realm Gate and Yao Lan's appearance to stop the Venerable Lord's fatal attack were completely unexpected by Wei Yuan. This was the variable from the outside; if Yao Lan had arrived in Qingming in advance and laid an ambush, she would most likely not have escaped the Venerable Lord's divine calculation.

Ultimately, through a series of unexpected events and coincidences, they managed to survive this deadly trap. However…

Wei Yuan looked at Xu Shuhe, who was missing a leg, and smiled bitterly. Xu Youyi stopped at the last minute, changing her initial plan to cut him in half at the waist to just severing a leg, then taking it and leaving without hesitation.

Wei Yuan had to reserve all his methods to deal with the immortals' backup plans. Therefore, since this immortal leg was an old, withered leg that had reached the end of its lifespan, not only was Wei Yuan, who was rich and powerful, not worth fighting for, but even the immortals felt there was no need to fight for it, let alone worth turning against Xu Youyi for such a small gain.

Therefore, neither the immortals nor Wei Yuan made a move, and Xu Youyi escaped unscathed. Looking back now, it's clear that among the aristocratic immortals, only Xu Youyi made a small profit; the others all suffered losses to varying degrees.

Among them, Madam Bao lost one Azure Dragon Cave Heaven, which seems to be the most devastating loss, followed closely by Bai Kaishui who lost one Sword Qi Cave Heaven.

However, Cangwu's killing move was successfully trapped, and Ji Liuli forcibly deciphered a small portion of it. If he faces Qingming again, this move will likely be useless, and the loss might not be much different from the previous two.

Cui Zhengxing disappeared with the black chess piece in his hand, and Cui Wantong's night sky and starry river were torn to pieces. All the immortals saw this, and as for how much they would gain, that was up to each individual.

Zhao Li Xianren was in a peculiar state; a corner of the chessboard he conjured was missing, clearly exposing his weakness. However, he initially claimed to have deactivated his supernatural powers, meaning he had lost his ability to attract good fortune. Yet, the final outcome proved that Zhao Li Xianren's last-minute defection was the right decision. So, did he actually activate his ability to attract good fortune?
This is a crucial issue. Without addressing it, almost no trap can fool this old fox. Knowing just one or two of his weaknesses is actually of little use.

Of course, we need not mention the two fallen immortals.

Wei Yuan knew that it was not the time to take stock of the gains, so he pointed and threw Lü Changhe's remains into the Azure Netherworld Stone.

Lu Changhe's remains slowly fell to the ground. Just then, a faint cry rang out from afar: "No!" Was someone lying in ambush? Wei Yuan looked up and followed the sound, seeing a faint anomaly in the void. However, the fluctuations in energy emanating from this anomaly were extremely weak, completely invisible on the battlefield where immortal light had just crisscrossed. Now that the aftershocks of the battle had subsided, and the person hidden there couldn't help but cry out, Wei Yuan noticed it.

Wei Yuan looked over, and where his gaze fell, the barrier in the distance opened automatically, revealing several women inside, among whom a pair of girls stood out. They possessed a cool demeanor mixed with a touch of childlike innocence, and what was even more remarkable was that they looked exactly alike, yet their temperaments were completely opposite. One was dressed in black, the other in white; the white was as pure as a lotus, the black as the lord of the night.

"Who are you?" Wei Yuan demanded.

Actually, asking this question was pointless. Just by looking at the terrified expressions of the two girls, and at the young woman who looked to be only in her early twenties and whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to the two girls, it was clear that they were all from the Lü family. The young woman had tears in her eyes; the scream she had just heard was from her.

Wei Yuan looked the group up and down and found that the young woman actually had the cultivation of the early stage of Dharma Aspect, which was quite rare. However, this woman's Dharma Aspect was ethereal and almost impossible to form. It was only slightly stronger than the Golden Core Dharma Aspect, and she knew in her heart how this Dharma Aspect came about.

An older woman said tremblingly, “We are all women of the Lü family. We are here on the orders of the Immortal Ancestor to present ourselves to Lord Wei Yuanwei of the Azure Netherworld. We were overwhelmed with grief when we saw the Immortal Ancestor fall. We are willing to follow you and serve you at your command.”

The women were all ashen-faced. They had all witnessed Wei Yuan suddenly launch a deadly attack, killing Lü Changhe in one strike. Although they couldn't understand Wei Yuan's specific methods, they understood the sudden sneak attack.

Therefore, they only sought to survive and dared not ask for anything else. Worldly beauty had little effect on immortals, and they did not hold much hope, thinking that Wei Yuan would most likely kill them to silence them, after all, Wei Yuan's methods just now were rather dishonorable.

After ascertaining your identities, Wei Yuan said, "Considering your past friendship and commendable courage, I will not pursue the matter further. You may leave."

The girls were all stunned, frozen in place, too afraid to move. Only when Wei Yuan waved impatiently did they slowly fly away.

The girl in the white dress seemed bolder, and suddenly turned around and said, "Aren't you afraid we'll go back and talk nonsense?"

Wei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Even if you dare to say it, who dares to listen?"

The girls were stunned for a moment, and only after confirming that Wei Yuan really had no intention of keeping them did they leave.

After chasing the women away, Wei Yuan examined Xu Shuhe's remains. The immortal body was decayed and rotten, emitting a pungent stench. Such a body would have been best used in the medicine garden, which was Wei Yuan's original plan.

However, when the time came, Wei Yuan frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he cut off the remains's hands and the remaining leg, then threw the corpse into the herb garden.

Wei Yuan planned to give the thigh and one arm from the immortal's remains to Zhao Li Immortal, while the remaining arm would be offered to the sect to enhance its foundation.

Unfortunately, Xu Shuhe only had two hands and two feet.

After doing all this, Wei Yuan took to the air, ignoring his own exhaustion, and headed straight for the capital of Jin.
