The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 211 Drunken Life is Nothing More Than This

Xu Chen was initially surprised to see Jiang Man being taken away by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall along with him, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.

He had a feeling from the start that the other person wasn't a good person.

It's understandable that he was taken away.

As for the specific reasons, he never cared.

Since the Enforcement Hall has taken action, it must be because the evidence is conclusive and confirms that the other party is not a good person.

During the journey, Jiang Man asked Ren Qian why he wanted to arrest him.

The answer they received was naturally that the person was colluding with an evil god, and the old ox was mentioned.

Jiang Man feigned surprise and asked, "Is there something wrong with my ox?"

The other party nodded: "Junior Brother Jiang is about to be interrogated. If there are no problems, Junior Brother doesn't need to worry. There won't be any issues."

"Can I see my scalper?" Jiang Man asked tentatively.

Ren Qian shook his head: "Not at the moment. If you want to see the old ox, you need to wait for further investigation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man stopped insisting, though he felt a little regretful.

It's a real shame that Lao Huang can't know about his amazing feat in the secret realm.

The joy of being invincible under the primordial spirit cannot be shared.

They also received a box, which they were certain contained a treasure.

I also wanted to let it see what it was.

I have no experience.

Now we can only look for another opportunity to speak with Meng Qiewei.

There was no mention of Zhao Jiaren's relocation.

After all, he is a suspect now, so we can't reveal too much.

Being able to explain the origin of something is already quite good.

The fact that Lao Huang was mentioned in particular indicates that the other party was unable to find anything specific about Lao Huang.

On the way, Ren Qian looked at Jiang Man's thin figure and couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, did you encounter any danger inside?"

He had heard that many people wanted to teach Jiang Man a lesson in the secret realm. Judging from his thin figure and haggard appearance, he must have suffered a lot.

Those people were ruthless.

Such bullying of a junior.

Jiang Man shook his head, only saying that some problems had occurred during his cultivation, leading to insufficient qi and blood.

Ren Qian didn't ask any further questions about this. Geniuses all have their pride and would never admit to being taken advantage of or embarrassed.

Soon, Jiang Man and Xu Chen entered the prison cell of the Law Enforcement Hall.

However, they were separated, one on the left and one on the right.

The disciples imprisoned on the left are those who have violated the sect rules in ordinary ways; this is a normal matter handled by the Enforcement Hall.

The right side is specifically for imprisoning disciples involved in special cases, which fall under the category of the Zhenyue Division incident.

The guards on the right were noticeably more vigilant.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chen secretly thought that Jiang Man's crimes were probably no small matter, and he was also a ruthless and insane individual.

Although he considered himself ruthless, he was no match for this man in the slightest.

Unfortunately, from now on, the other person will have to avoid him.

A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator was no longer considered an enemy in his eyes; the other party was unworthy of such treatment.

However, once they enter this place, it's uncertain whether they will still have a "back" ahead.

Out of curiosity, he asked the people around him what crime Jiang Man had committed.

The other person's answer was simple: "It's more serious than yours."

Xu Chen was relieved.

He was quickly taken to the interrogation room.

"Please sit down," a woman who brought him in said softly.

Xu Chen calmly took his seat; this day was exactly what he had expected.

Having done so much, one must naturally bear the corresponding consequences.

After he sat down, three people entered the interrogation room.

Two men and one woman sat down in turn.

At this moment, the dignified-looking middle-aged cultivator in the center spoke in a deep voice:
"Did you set up the blood sacrifice array? And were you the one who captured people and bled them out?"

Xu Chen stated bluntly: "It's me."

The woman beside her pressed on, "Among them, Liu Ningya from the Liu family was the most seriously injured. Did you do it on purpose?"

Xu Chen nodded: "Yes, I am willing to accept any punishment from the Misty Cloud Sect, and I am also willing to compensate Liu Ningya."

The middle-aged cultivator narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this and leaned back: "Tell me the reason."

compensation?

How can compensation possibly resolve this situation?

Moreover, even if compensation is required, it's not up to the Wuyun Sect to decide.

However, the other party said they were willing to accept any punishment from the Misty Cloud Sect, indicating they wanted to complete the punishment now.

Normally, the Mist Cloud Sect wouldn't do this.

But he did want to hear what the other party had to say.

“My father was an honest and upright man, but his cultivation was limited because of his humble origins.” Xu Chen paused for a moment before continuing, “He earned everything he had through his own hard work, and he was also an extremely frugal person.”

"After my mother passed away, he became so frugal that people thought he was stingy."

"He is a person who loves swords very much, and his dream is to become a sword cultivator."

"But my father didn't have a family to support him, so he had to choose to practice Buddhism."

"But he still loved swords, and whenever he came across a fine sword, he would stop and admire it."

"If I were there, he would tell me what kind of sword it was and what its purpose was."

"When I was eighteen, I asked him to buy a sword. After all, he had a good job at that time and earned some spiritual energy."

However, he refused.

"I asked him, puzzled, 'You've earned so much spiritual energy, yet you can't even bear to buy the things you like the most. What's the point of working so hard to earn spiritual energy?'"
When I said that, he just smiled and didn't answer my question.

"After I started cultivating immortality, he told me not to cause trouble, to value harmony in all things, and to focus on my cultivation."

"And he hopes I can become a sword cultivator."

"I agree with the former, but I reject the latter."

"You left as a magic cultivator?" the middle-aged man asked curiously. "But I saw you registered as a sword cultivator."

“Yes, I initially chose the Dharma path, but when I saw him talking about it every day, I chose the Sword path when I went to report to the inner sect,” Xu Chen said calmly. “When I told him the news, he was so happy that he couldn’t sleep all night.”

"I told him he was too happy too soon; sword cultivators need spirit swords."

"He just kept saying to himself that there is, there is, there must be, he has been looking for it for many years."

"Later I received a spirit sword, an extremely beautiful spirit sword."

"That was the sword he bought for me with all his might."

"They said it would last me a very, very long time."

"I was extremely happy when I received the sword. I think I actually enjoy being a sword cultivator."

"But my family isn't wealthy, so I had to give up the idea."

"When he saw me smile, he smiled too, and said that this was the meaning of his earning spiritual energy."

"I didn't realize it at the time."

"It turns out he was answering a question I had asked him years ago."

The meaning of earning without spending.

"When I realized what was happening and wanted to tell him how I felt..."

He went out.

"Because of our cooperation with the Liu family, my father escorted them."

"On the way, they passed through an unfamiliar forest. My father felt there was an evil aura there, and for safety's sake, it was best to take a detour."

"But Liu Ningya's mother firmly believed that it was just an ordinary monster."

"Taking this route will save a lot of time."

“My father still felt something was wrong, so he sent a message to the sect, and then he had no choice but to go in.”

The woman, engrossed in listening, subconsciously asked, "Something happened?"

Xu Chen lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Something has happened. We have indeed encountered a special evil demon. My father has organized people to resist it."

"But the opponent was too difficult to deal with, so he decided to have Liu Ningya's mother lead people to resist for a while. He wanted to set up an array to protect everyone and hold out until the sect's rescue arrived."

"He sent a message to the sect in advance, so he had a good chance of overcoming the difficulties."

"But Liu Ningya's mother said she was good at setting up formations and asked my father to fight against the evil demons."

"My father asked her three times to make sure she knew how to set up the formation."

The other party nodded confidently.

"Then problems arose frequently during the formation process. She was distracted and made mistakes with the formation patterns. Everyone was waiting for her formation. Her final explanation was that the pressure was too great and mistakes were normal."

"By the time my father turned back and tried to set up the formation himself, it was too late."

Of the last group of thirty-six people, only six survived.

"It's fortunate that the sect arrived in time."

"In the end, I couldn't tell him that I understood what he meant."

After saying all this, Xu Chen looked at the three of them and said, "Later I learned that Liu's mother's old illness had relapsed, and Liu Ningya had to get first place in order to save her mother."

"I resent Liu Ningya, so I deliberately targeted her."

“I didn’t expect it to turn out like this, so I’m willing to compensate her.”

The three squinted at Xu Chen. He said he resented Liu Ningya for targeting her, but it was obvious that he wanted to kill her mother.

Incidentally, he also ruined Liu Ningya.

"Your crime is already very serious. Didn't you ever think about killing someone?" the middle-aged man asked.

"No." Xu Chen shook his head.

"Then what's the point of perfecting the Blood Sacrifice Formation? As far as we know, you already won in the end, so there was no need for it to be perfected," the middle-aged man asked, looking at the other person.

Xu Chen remained calm, then slowly uttered a few words: "For revenge."

"Haven't you already taken your revenge?" the woman wondered.

To her, Xu Chen had already completed his revenge.

With Liu's mother nearing the end of her life, she can only await her final death, and Liu Ningya's path to immortality will likely be far from smooth.

One life, a ruined future

Isn't this revenge?
Xu Chen shook his head slightly, his face calm, and said, "I recently learned that demonic forces have been discovered at the place where my father died. "But the investigation has hit a bottleneck and we haven't been able to make a breakthrough."

"The best way is to have a suitable person go undercover."

Xu Chen looked at them, his voice steady: "Now, I have offended the sect, offended the major families, and even the elders probably hate me to the bone."

"There is no place for me in the sect anymore. If I go back, I will surely die."

"Besides, I have this."

Xu Chen pointed to his brow and said, "I have a blood bead refined by the blood sacrifice array, and my strength will increase by leaps and bounds in a short period of time."

"As long as I successfully infiltrate, I will be valued."

“A person who is hated by many families, targeted by elders, and makes rapid progress can never become the most marginalized person.”

Seeing the three people looking at each other blankly, Xu Chen continued, "Besides, the sect can completely trust me."

"Because I have no hope for the future, and all that remains in my heart is revenge."

I want to take them
"Exterminate them all!"

The room fell into a deathly silence.

All three were shocked by these remarks.

But why are you telling us this?

The fewer people who know about an undercover agent, the better. Once they successfully become an undercover agent, they will also be in trouble.

-

Inside the law enforcement hall prison.

Old Meng has been imprisoned for several months.

Apart from the initial brief interrogation, no one came to question him again.

He wasn't sure how long this would last, nor did he know if anyone outside would come to his rescue.

But no matter what, Jiang Man is certainly not much better off.

They will definitely be locked up deep inside and kept under strict guard.

Even if they are imprisoned, they will certainly be observed for several months before being interrogated.

Offending them always comes at a price.

He thought silently in his heart.

He used this to comfort himself.

Just as he was lost in these thoughts, the cell door was suddenly opened.

"Let's do it here," Ren Qian said.

Jiang Man glanced at it, quite surprised.

acquaintance.

Old Meng was quite surprised when he saw Jiang Man.

I never expected that Jiang Man would be in the surface cell.

Not only that, but they even had to imprison him together.

Shouldn't we take those who collude with evil gods seriously?

Although the aura was fake, the old ox really had a problem.

At this moment, he looked at Ren Qian and asked, "Senior, when can I leave?"

Ren Qian simply told him to wait for news, and then left.

Jiang Man smiled and greeted the other party, and casually asked if the elders and patriarchs of the Zhao family had come to rescue the person.
Old Meng stared at Jiang Man.

There was silence for a long time.

Resentment filled his eyes.

Because the Zhao family was also reported.

Who else could it be but Jiang Man?

Although the other person wasn't there before, he was certain it was Jiang Man.

He was the only one who wanted to take action against the Zhao family.

"Isn't Jiang Tianjiao here too? He looks like he's lost a lot of weight." Old Meng suppressed his anger.

Jiang Man feigned confusion and asked, "How did Guard Zhao get in?"

Lao Meng felt that the other party was humiliating him.

He was silent.

Jiang Man didn't care.

Instead, they looked around and found many traces of formations, but they couldn't understand them at all.

It was far beyond his comprehension.

I must learn the Thirty-Six Books of the Hall of Enlightenment as soon as possible.

Then, advance to the late stage of the Golden Core realm and unlock the third layer of the box.

As for the current controversy surrounding the evil god, he is not worried.

Old Huang is an evil god who dared to ambush Meng Qiewei; nine times out of ten, people from the immortal sects wouldn't be able to find anything out about him.

However, Jiang Man felt something was off when he saw the guards in front of him this time.

There's a sense of familiarity.

It felt just like being targeted before.

According to Tingfengyin, it may be related to the Demon Lord.

Jiang Man moved closer.

Before Lao Meng could react, he reached out and put his hand on the other person's shoulder.

There was a click.

They actually forced Lao Meng to kneel down.

Jiang Man was shocked: "Are you that weak?"

Old Meng: "."

What a shame.

Jiang Man didn't care, but instead activated the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

[A stale, demonic aura; everything else is insignificant.]

Jiang Man withdrew his hand and looked at Lao Meng, saying, "Old Zhao."

“My surname is Meng,” Old Meng said with difficulty.

"Old Meng, don't put any pressure on yourself during this time. Eat and drink as usual, and don't stress yourself out," Jiang Man said.

Old Meng shouldn't have any demonic aura, but now he does, and it's an unsettling aura that he can sense.

That means Lao Meng has been abandoned.

Once the people from the Immortal Sect arrive, Old Meng will definitely be exposed.

The demon lord needs a scapegoat.

Logically speaking, since Lao Meng's identity is insufficient, further investigation is definitely necessary.

but.
He will intervene and force the true demon lord to leave.

This is Tingfengyin's mission: to lure out the person behind the Demon Lord.

He guessed that the demon lord was Zhao Tiankuo, but he had no evidence.

It definitely can't be Lao Meng.

So, it's highly likely that Lao Meng can't leave this place.

Moreover, Lao Meng was someone who possessed the aura of an evil god, and was associated with that aura.

It's even less likely that they'll be able to go out.

老蒙
It’s over.

"What do you mean?" Old Meng frowned.

Jiang Man shook his head slightly: "It doesn't mean anything. I'm just telling you to relax and think more positively."

Old Meng: "."

Before he could say anything, someone came to take Jiang Man away: "The interrogation room is ready, come with us."

Jiang Man nodded.

No psychological burden.

He can handle these little things.

There was nothing for him to worry about.

Even if Lao Huang were discovered, he wouldn't be too worried.

Because Lao Huang will definitely take him along.

Give him time and resources, and he can bring Lao Huang back legitimately.

The strong are the most likely to reason with others.

Of course, if it doesn't come to that point, you should still bow your head.

-

the other side.

The three leaders of Zhenyue Division gathered together once again.

“Jiang Man has been arrested and will be interrogated soon. Are you interested?” Red Eagle asked.

Everyone else shook their heads.

I have no intention of interfering.

This is a significant matter, but it's not serious enough for them to take action themselves.

Youyu asked curiously, "Is there still no news from Zui Fusheng?"

Red Eagle shook his head.

After the other party told him to wait last time, there has been no further news.

I don't know how long it will take.

That put the other party in a difficult position.

It seems that Zui Fusheng is not as unapproachable as initially thought.

"By the way, it seems the people from the Immortal Sect have already set off and should arrive in the next couple of days," Red Eagle reminded them. "During this time, we must ensure the stability of the sect."

"Don't cause any trouble."
