1564 Meeting the Escaped Immortal
After learning that the escaped immortal was close to his location, Yuan said to Xi Meili, "Let's stop here. Something else came up."
Worried that the immortal might leave before he could finish the scrolls in this place, Yuan decided to deal with the immortal first, then return to the Pavilion of Knowledge to finish the rest if possible.
"Huh? What came up?" Xi Meili lifted her head to look at him with a raised eyebrow.
Since Dong Ye spoke to Yuan through Divine Sense, she had no idea about their conversation.
Yuan gave her a quick brief of his situation, "There is a place called the Nine Heaven Eternal Grotto that imprisons some of the most dangerous immortals in the world. A few of them escaped recently, and one of them managed to enter the Fourth Heaven. That immortal happens to be close by, so I am going to kill them real quick."
"What?! An immortal?!" Xi Meili was shocked speechless by such information.
"You make it sound like killing an immortal is a simple thing to do! They are so powerful that even a Divine Ancestor would not last a single strike from them! And they won't die even if you destroy their body!" Xi Meili exclaimed. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"I doubt I will be able to kill an immortal in their perfect condition. This immortal is greatly weakened due to being in the Fourth Heaven, so I have a good chance of defeating them."
"Even if their cultivation is weakened, they can still use powerful techniques and Immortal Qi, which mortals cannot resist!"
Yuan confidently smiled and said, "I know it's dangerous, but I have to do this. You should stay here. I don't want you to get caught up in our fight."
"No! Let me fight with you!" Xi Meili quickly shook her head.
Yuan sighed, "That's not possible, and you should know that. I won't have the leisure to protect you during our fight, either."
Xi Meili clenched her jaws tightly in frustration, but she couldn't argue with Yuan. She knew that she would die long before she could even react if she fought with an immortal.
After a moment of silence, she sighed out loud, "In this entire universe, you're probably the only mortal who would dare to fight an immortal. But that's also what I like about you. Don't die on me, Yuan."
"I promise you that I'll return." Yuan nodded with a serious face.
He left the room shortly after while Xi Meili remained inside.
"Are you leaving already?" Yuan encountered Xuan Kun on his way out.
"I'll be leaving for a little, but I'll be back. Xi Meili will stay here." Yuan said.
"Is that so… by the way… that vial of blood you gave to Lady Bai… do you have more? Even a single drop is enough. If so, I'd like to purchase it from you!"
Xuan Kun decided to try his luck with Yuan since it might be impossible to get Bai Ning to part with her supply.
Yuan shook his head and said, "Sorry, but that's all I have."
"Is that so…" Xuan Kun wore a dejected expression on his face, looking like he'd been rejected by the love of his life.
After leaving the Pavilion of Knowledge, Yuan asked Dong Ye for directions to the escaped immortal.
"If you fly southwest, you should arrive at a small island in three days. The escaped immortal is hiding there." Dong Ye said.
