The Unruly Immortals

"Mom, push me back, I might get a bit noisy later, just bear with me, I'll come visit you when I have time, let me know if you run out of money."

Li Huowang, enveloped by flames, revealed a sinister smile on his charred face as he muttered these words to himself.

Shou San, with a slight frown, took another step back. "The Elder was indeed right, this one is a bit different from the usual Xinsu, now we've got a tricky situation on our hands."

Just as he felt completely at a loss, he suddenly heard something stir behind him.

Whipping around, his expression immediately tightened. The flames consuming his body swiftly diminished, retreating back into him.

"Elders Yan Jianxi, Yijian Yu, She Changsi, Shen Benyou, what brings you all down the mountain?"

"How's the situation?" Shen Benyou, with a square face, seemed somewhat displeased.

"That Xinsu is standing right there, as you can see, he's not following our script," complained Shou San, his scorched fingers pointing toward Li Huowang in the distance.

After exchanging glances, one tall woman among the six walked over and said, "It's about time, give him another push."

No sooner had she spoken, than the six raised their fists in unison, and the flames enveloping Li Huowang instantly dragged him down, pinning him firmly to the ground.

"Mom, can you push a little faster? Something feels off, remember to gag me."

Li Huowang, still gazing at the moon above, continued to murmur to himself.

"I'll do it." Dressed like a courtesan, Yijian Yu, with her slender fingers stylized like orchids, reached into her hair at the top of her head and pinched gently, then began to pull.

A silver needle with a chilling shimmer was slowly drawn out.

As she pulled further, the needle stretched almost to an inch in length, which showed just how deep it was inserted into the woman's head initially.

With a gentle flick from Yijian Yu, the blood-stained Silver Needle shot out with a residual image, directly into Li Huowang's charred head.

"What did you inject him with? Be careful not to mess it up, there could be trouble," Yan Jianxi said, warning from the side.

"Just a fragment of the past from four years ago. I'm worried his sorrow isn't deep enough, so I'm topping it up, hehe," she replied, her blood-red lips curling into a smug smile.

The moment the long needle pierced him, Li Huowang abruptly came out of his daze, his mind suddenly flooded with various bloody scenes that involuntarily made him clutch his stomach and start vomiting.

He saw clearly, that was indeed himself, laughing maniacally while indiscriminately killing people in the town.

To be exact, it wasn't murder; it was just that without warning, the bodies of those around him split open, heads caved in, and some caught fire—that was all.

Moreover, it wasn't just a few or a dozen people; it was tens of thousands!

In his mind, men, women, the elderly, and children of all ages from the entire town met the same fate.

Except for one, Jiang Yingzi, because she bore a resemblance to Yang Na as a child.

The simultaneous gruesome deaths of tens of thousands in his mind were not something Li Huowang could endure.

"Did I really kill the people in this town?" Li Huowang began to question himself again, a question that seemed unnecessary to answer, for only he would show mercy towards someone who resembled Yang Na as a child.

This time, there was no Master Danyang to find excuses to share his pain.

And with the effect of the drug, nearly at that instant, accompanied by an agonized scream from the charred Li Huowang, the sky ripped open.

Everyone looked up simultaneously, and in the deepest reaches of the sky, within an unfathomable expanse of vast darkness, something stirred amidst countless deeper black worlds and the suns rotating within them.

The senses of all present began to transform at once.

All senses of sight, taste, smell, and hearing merged into one, forming a brand new perception incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Only in this way could they truly "see" Bahu.

"It's finally done," Shou San exclaimed excitedly, despite being enveloped in an almost tangible fear.

"Begin at once! Everyone, get ready!" As soon as the words were spoken, the other Ao Jing Sect believers sitting cross-legged around Li Huowang's legs started mutilating themselves in various ways.

Their eyes, filled with a diseased longing, unanimously "looked" towards Bahu in the air.

Blood red droplets fell from everyone's skin, forming a series of incredibly complex hook-shaped Blood Talismans on the ground.

The Blood Talismans acted in coordination with one another, slowly forming a giant talisman circle.

Just as the talisman circle was about to be complete, with a slight lift of his hand, Li Huowang caused all the Blood Talismans lying on the ground to stand up instantly, slowly revolving around his body.

Bahu had been summoned by Li Huowang, who, at least at that moment, had temporarily acquired a part of Bahu's power.

Having their plan thwarted, the six Elders glared at Li Huowang enveloped in despair, with Yan Jianxi speaking first, "Young man, what is the meaning of this?"

Li Huowang knelt weakly on the ground, his body swaying as if it might collapse at any moment, his eyes devoid of any life.

Feeling the dual agony, Li Huowang's mind was nearly smothered by an intense desire for death, and although thinking was extremely difficult for him at that time, he still mustered all his strength,

"The deed I set out to do... is now done... Now... it's your turn," he murmured.

"Now? Have you gone mad? Do you know how long we have waited for this moment?"

"Stop this nonsense! Return the Blood Talismans at once!"

"Who do you think you are to dare threaten us?"

Li Huowang's outburst silenced everyone else.

"It must be now! I haven't received mine! You can forget about getting yours!!"

Even at this juncture, Li Huowang still understood that he had no real connection with them. He was still Xinsu, and if he didn't negotiate while he still had cards to play,

once he lost Bahu's power, there would be no room for negotiation left.

"You could kill me now! But then all your efforts these days would have been in vain!"

"Just help... help me deal with Master Danyang!... What you do after doesn't concern me in the least!"

Li Huowang mustered the last of his strength to state his condition.

Then his body began to tremble, and the agony he was enduring spread outwards.

All the Ao Jing Sect members screamed and fell to the ground in agony. The pain was far greater than what they had inflicted upon themselves.

When any creature can no longer bear pain, it thinks of one thing: release. Involuntarily, they aimed various sharp instruments at their own throats.

"Stop! We will help you take care of Master Danyang now!"

Li Huowang, almost crushed by the pain, laughed shakily.

While everyone's attention was on Li Huowang, nobody noticed that Bahu in the sky took another look at him.
