Cultivation: Being Immortal

At the banks of Yuntuo River, in the main hall of the Giant Wave Fish Gang, there were already corpses all over the place. Liu Dong changed into the attire of the former Trident Fish Gang and was tinkering with offerings.

In front of him were one tablet after another, some commemorating the help of the Trident Fish Gang and some of his own Liu family members, over a hundred in total.

"Leader, Liu family ancestors, Liu Dong is ashamed. He only remembers so many people. Maybe there's no chance to make up for it..."

Liu Dong knelt in front of those tablets, whispering something. He kept murmuring and didn't know how long had passed. A dark figure fell outside the main hall, walking step by step towards Liu Dong.

"Even the esteemed elder of Cloud Sword Sect doesn't dare to show their true face."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The person behind him smirked. He was wearing a black robe, only revealing a pair of eyes, which couldn't be seen clearly.

"Forget it, if you don't want to admit it, then don't. Everyone knows that the Fishermen Gang are the dogs of the two major sects."

"You used to be part of the Fishermen Gang too."

"Yes, I used to be your dog. But as your dog, I accumulated countless wealth for you. How did you treat me in return?"

"When a dog is useless, it gets killed and eaten. Isn't that what should happen?"

"It seems like this, but you should know, we're not real dogs, we're humans, with flesh and blood, with homes and families."

"Is there any difference?"

"You..."

Upon hearing these words, Liu Dong became extremely angry, blood boiling in his head.

"Are you very angry? But this is the truth, an unchangeable truth. In the eyes of the upper class cultivators, the lower-class cultivators are even lower than dogs."

"This is the major sect, the ruler of Yun State. I finally understand."

"And then what? After understanding, what does it accomplish? Being angry, very angry, so what?"

"When an ordinary man gets angry, blood splatters five steps."

"Haha, just based on you?"

The person in the black robe laughed and said. Is the Overlord Scroll very powerful? It's just a dark martial art. Compared to the truly top-level martial arts, it's nothing but garbage. Besides, it is also suppressed by different levels. Can Nascent Soul defeat the golden core?

"Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to learn from Senior Emperor. If I could advance to Soul Changing, I would definitely destroy your Cloud Sword Sect."

Liu Dong looked at his hands, which were old and thin. His face was no better. A golden core that should have been flourishing before the age of one hundred was now withered and weak.

The Overlord Scroll has been circulating in Yun State for thousands of years. Countless people have practiced this martial art, but no one has reached the height of Senior Emperor. The drawbacks of this martial art are really terrifying.

"Are you done talking? If you are, I can send you on your way."

"I'm done talking. Come on, let me experience the Cloud Sword Sect's superior swordsmanship."

Liu Dong stood up, took out his big sword treasure. He had known for a long time that he wouldn't live much longer, even if no one killed him. So, he would rather die and give a final blow to the person behind the fishing gang.

"Sword Sutra, Skyscraper Sword."

"Furious Sea Angry Blade."

"Explosive Element Technique"

The man in the black cloak used a sword technique, while Liu Dong used the Powerful Blast Technique to burn his remaining life force, then he unleashed his strongest strike.

A fierce wave of sword energy burst out from his precious sword, forming a phantom that was several tens of meters long. It slashed towards the man in the black cloak, but his flying sword still seemed ordinary.

"Boom!"

The wave of sword energy collided with the flying sword. The wave shattered, but the flying sword continued its momentum and cut through Liu Dong's body. Liu Dong's body suddenly exploded, blood and flesh splattering towards the man in the black cloak. However, it was all blocked by the man's protective barrier, leaving not a single droplet on him.

"Ants will always be ants, even if they splash blood five steps away, how ridiculous."

The man in the black cloak coldly said, then he retrieved his flying sword and used a spell to take Liu Dong's storage bag.

Effortlessly removing the marks on the storage bag, the man in the black cloak emptied its contents. There were several thousand spirit stones and a pile of miscellaneous items, but everything else was gone.

"Does Liu Dong have any survivors?"

The black-clothed person immediately became unhappy. If you only cut the grass without getting rid of the roots, it will grow again when the spring wind blows. Although these ants cannot threaten him, they can still cause some trouble, just like annoying flies buzzing around.

Thinking of this, the black-clothed person took out a magical tool that looked like a compass. After casting a spell, a small insect flew out from the center of the compass and quickly flew away. The black-clothed person glanced around and found no other things to deal with, so he followed the insect along the way.

Finally, the black-clothed person arrived in front of a cave in the middle section of the Yunzhong Mountain Range. With his spiritual awareness, he sensed that there were three cultivators inside the cave. They seemed to be three brothers, all of them at the Qi Refining Period cultivation level. There were many items placed in front of them, including even magical flying swords.

The three brothers were excitedly taking inventory of these items. The sudden fortune had made them so happy that their mouths were crooked, and they were fantasizing about living a good life in the future.

"Bang!"

The black-clothed person reached out and easily shattered the defensive formation of the cave. The three brothers immediately woke up and were about to take out the flying swords from their storage bags to confront the enemy, but they found themselves unable to move at all.

"Senior, please spare our lives!"

"I ask, you answer. if you tell the truth, I will spare your lives."

"Yes, yes, senior. We would never dare to hide anything."

"Where did these things come from?"

"Picked them up."

"Plop."

Just as the person answered, the person in a black robe slapped their palm, and the person was shattered into pieces.

"How did they come?"

"Senior, we really just picked it up. Today, an Aurora falcon threw a storage bag into the valley ahead, and when we went to look, we found the storage bag."

"What level is this Aurora falcon?"

"We don't know for sure, but it's definitely a second-order."

"You're not lying to me, right?"

"Really don't have, senior, we wouldn't dare to lie to you"

"Come here"

"Yes"

One of them tremblingly walked up to the person in the black robe. The person in the black robe stretched out their hand and placed it on his head, then the soul-searching technique started.

In this person's memory, the person in the black robe indeed saw an Aurora falcon flying from the east. The three brothers saw the Aurora falcon carrying a storage bag in its mouth, so they came out to investigate. Afterwards, they saw the Aurora falcon drop the storage bag and leave.

"It should not be a third rank, it's at the mid-level of the second rank"

The person in the black robe nodded, then released his hand, while the man being soul-searched stared blankly, drooling from the corners of his mouth, becoming a fool.

"Big brother"

The remaining man let out a mournful roar.

"Quacking and chirping"

The person in the black robe waved their hand, and both people died at the same time, their bodies sliced open.

The person in the black robe packed up the things in their storage bag, stood up, and flew away. They flew towards the east, their powerful spiritual sense sweeping through various caves, terrifying cultivators everywhere. Although they were scared, they didn't dare to speak out against it.

In Yunzhong City, Lin Jiang had been staying at the inn for half a month. Finally, news about the Giant Wave Fish Gang spread throughout the city.

"The Giant Wave Fish Gang is finished. The gang leader and the elders in the Building Foundation Period have all died."

"The headquarters of the gang has been destroyed. There's nothing more to say."

"Oh, what a pity. Compared to other fishing gangs, the Giant Wave Fish Gang was relatively fair and didn't exploit people too much. I wonder who will take over now."

"Who knows? Anyway, we don't rely on Yuntuo River for our livelihood. It has nothing to do with us."

"That's true, but did you hear about a lot of people getting rich in the past few days? Do you know what happened?"

"It's all because of the trouble caused by the main branch of the Giant Wave Fish Gang. Liu Dong, who is a descendant of the Trident Fish Gang, killed the leader fuliu-jian and the Grand Elder Shen Bo of the fisherman gang. Then he wiped out hundreds of people from the main branch, but unfortunately, Liu Dong died too. He had the audacity to search his corpse and not only found a lot of storage bags but also looted the Giant Wave Fish Gang's warehouse."

"Really? What a loss! Why wasn't I outside the city?"

"If you had gone, you might have been the one searching his corpse."

"Haha, that's true. But who killed Liu Dong?"

"Who knows? The main hall of the main branch was completely destroyed. People say it was likely someone at the advanced stage of golden core who made a move."

In a inn in Yunzhong City, Lin Jiang listened carefully to the conversations of the people around him. Recently, the matters of the Giant Wave Fish Gang had become the focus of conversation among the lower-level cultivators in Yunzhong City.

Everything from the grudges between the Giant Wave Fish Gang and the Trident Fish Gang in the past was brought up. Liu Dong's true identity couldn't be hidden anymore, but no one really cared. The main concern for everyone was to just watch the drama unfold.

"Let's hide for a few more days and then go home to check on things. If everything is fine, I'll take over Sun Man's cave. His place is much better than mine."

Lin Jiang secretly thought that although he had put in a lot of effort in the cave over the past three years, it was still far inferior to Sun Man's side. Sun Man alone had valuable formations, not to mention the high-level spiritual medicines Sun Man planted. Lin Jiang saw that some of the medicines had been aged for decades, making them extremely valuable.

Returning to the inn, Lin Jiang glanced at the storage bag, which contained hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Within the Building Foundation Period, this wealth was definitely an astronomical figure. If it became known, who knows how many heroes and adventurers would come to snatch it from him.

"I'll hide for a few years and then look for Liu Siyu again, but I can't meet her face to face. I'll just secretly give it to her."

Lin Jiang calculated in his heart that he didn't plan to reveal himself to Liu Siyu. Recognizing Liu Dong earlier was unavoidable; if he didn't explain, Liu Dong would have killed him.

Lin Jiang didn't know if the Giant Wave Fish Gang or their backers could find Liu Siyu, so he didn't dare take the risk. The fact that he agreed to Liu Dong's request already impressed him. If he had a bit more selfishness, he could have kept the money all to himself.

After hiding in Yunzhong City for a few days, Lin Jiang was preparing to return to Yunzhong Mountain Range when he saw an independent cultivator roaring at the guards of Yunzhong City. He said, "It's ancestral, I've been saying it all along. My family's Aurora falcon is ancestral. But you killed it. How will you compensate me?"

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😡)

Upon hearing the words "Aurora falcon," Lin Jiang immediately stopped in his tracks and, like the others, stood still to observe. After a while, Lin Jiang finally understood what was going on.

The Cloud Sword Sect's He family suddenly brought up the incident of the young master He Yunwei being killed decades ago and increased the reward for the original perpetrator. The perpetrator was characterized by having a mid-late stage second-order Aurora falcon. Hence, this cultivator with an inherited Aurora falcon beast pet was mistakenly injured.

Lin Jiang's heart suddenly chilled. It was abnormal for an incident from several decades ago to resurface. Even if he just used his toes to think, he would know this was not normal.

"What happened in the end?"

Lin Jiang was also very confused. He had been well-behaved these past few years, and it seemed like he hadn't offended anyone. How did this thing get brought up in the end?
