Immortal Path Space

Chapter 162: Assassination

After the Ma Brothers left the living room, He Yuan entered to find Wang Hong.

He Yuan greeted Wang Hong with a deep bow before expressing, "All thanks to the Foundation Establishment Pills provided by East Master!"

At the age of sixty, achieving Foundation Building was a formidable task for He Yuan. With the increased difficulty, he had to use both Foundation Establishment Pills given by Wang Hong to accomplish this feat.

Originally, he hoped to obtain just one Foundation Establishment Pill when returning to his family. However, it seemed futile now, even if he had managed to acquire it. Building a foundation through his own efforts and earning enough Spirit Stones to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills at his age was an unrealistic dream.

Considering the strength of a Qi Cultivator, accumulating enough resources for two Foundation Establishment Pills in a lifetime was a daunting task.

Wang Hong, grateful for He Yuan's transformation, acknowledged, "No need to be polite. This is a rightful reward. In the future, many matters in Azure Void City will rely on your efforts."

"East Master, rest assured. As long as I'm alive, no one can interfere with the affairs on this side."

After some casual conversation, He Yuan took his leave.

"East Master! The residence has been purchased. Would you like to take a look?" Xu Lun, who had handled the purchase of the new residence, returned.

"Let's go! Take me to see it."

The newly acquired residence had an average concentration of Spirit Qi but was spacious, covering a hundred acres. It was more than enough to accommodate several hundred people in the future.

This was Wang Hong's intention. The group he brought from the military were mostly bachelors, and those joining later were also single. While leading a group of bachelors might be easier, he couldn't lead them indefinitely. Where would he find so many bachelors?

Some individuals would inevitably seek Dao Companions and start families. With Dao Companions and offspring, attachments and personal agendas would arise, potentially affecting the cohesion and unity of the group.

Wang Hong couldn't prevent these natural occurrences; it was human nature.

He always believed that Immortal Cultivators were simply individuals with stronger abilities, still susceptible to human desires and emotions.

If Immortal Cultivators were to completely sever desires, how would their existence differ from that of plants?

Since change was impossible, he decided to go with the flow. Gathering everyone's families together would enhance cohesion. Taking care of their families collectively would relieve many worries, and when recruiting new members, he could consider candidates from these families.

With the long lifespan of Immortal Cultivators, what this place could develop into in a century or two was uncertain.

At the moment, Cui Fang, accompanied by his parents, was moving in. They were the first residents of the new residence, unpacking their belongings.

Wang Hong greeted them. Cui Fang's parents, with white hair and impaired vision and hearing, had received two pills from Wang Hong the previous day. Although these pills weren't particularly valuable to Wang Hong, they held significant benefits for the elderly couple.

Reluctant to consume the pills, they insisted on giving them to their son, but Cui Fang refused. The elderly couple then decided to keep the pills as a family heirloom.

Cui Fang, feeling helpless, once again sought Wang Hong's help for two pills, planning to secretly "medicate" his elderly parents' meals.

Wang Hong spent two days with everyone in his residence, settling affairs and making arrangements with individuals like Skinny Monkey and Zhao Ning. He left behind some Body Refining Pills, Golden Body Pills, and Essence Core Pills for everyone to exchange and consume using contribution points.

Other items like Spiritual Herbs needed replenishment from the Immortal Way Trading Company.

Transforming back into Wang Kun, with a cultivation level now at the first level of Foundation Building, he found the residence bought by Liu Changsheng. Compared to his previous visit, there were now fifteen young disciples aged around ten.

He decided to recruit only these fifteen individuals for now, focusing on quality over quantity. Nurturing even these fifteen would still consume a considerable amount of resources.

Wang Kun spent a few days with the disciples, offering guidance on their cultivation. Later, he handed Liu Changsheng a substantial amount of Spirit Pills and Spiritual Herbs, taking away one million Spirit Stones in return.

Reverting to Wang Hong, he left Azure Void City with Little Peng, heading towards the sect.

Throughout the journey, Wang Hong, riding on Little Peng's back, hummed a tune, appearing relaxed on the surface but maintaining constant vigilance against potential ambushes.

Two-thirds into the journey, a cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building appeared behind him, flying steadily. When Wang Hong urged Little Peng to accelerate, another Foundation Building cultivator, wielding a Flying Sword, emerged ahead, flying towards him.

These two individuals, one at the first level and the other at the second level of Foundation Building, conspicuously showed themselves, indicating no intention of lurking in the shadows for an ambush. f𝐫e𝚎𝘄eb𝚗o𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝚘m

Wang Hong felt relieved. As long as it was a straightforward confrontation, he wasn't afraid of these two.

Remaining calm, Wang Hong was a bit excited inside. After secretly cultivating and preparing for so long, today was the day to put his skills to the test.

"Kid, you've been hiding for so long. How dare you show up now? Under Shadow Kill's assassination order, allowing a mere Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer to survive for this long is quite a miracle!" The first-level Foundation Building assassin seemed talkative.

"Today, let me end this miracle for you!"

The first-level cultivator unsheathed a small flying knife, only three inches long and one inch wide, incredibly swift.

Typically, when people used Spiritual Weapons, they would enlarge them for greater impact. However, this flying knife, a Spiritual Weapon, remained small to enhance speed, with only the tip becoming sharper.

Wang Hong quickly summoned the Golden Light Bowl he had been holding, protecting himself and Little Peng.

The flying knife struck the Light Screen produced by the Golden Light Bowl, as it was designed for swift sneak attacks rather than robust assaults.

Simultaneously, the silent second-level Foundation Building cultivator summoned a Spiritual Weapon, a Golden Seal that grew to over ten feet, pressing down towards Wang Hong.

A loud crash echoed as the Golden Seal clashed with the Golden Light Bowl, both proving to be high-grade Spiritual Weapons.

Wang Hong marveled at the wealth of Shadow Kill. Despite the slight realm advantage of the opponent, both sides had comparable Spiritual Power, resulting in a stalemate.

"Not bad, kid. You've already reached Foundation Building! However, even if you've achieved Foundation Building, you can't escape from the palms of the two of us." The loquacious first-level assassin declared, and Wang Hong saw no need to conceal his cultivation level any longer.

"Humming..."

Wang Hong released Poisonous Bees, directing them towards the talkative first-level Foundation Building cultivator.
