The Unruly Immortals

Everything happened too quickly. In just a few breaths, before Li Huowang could get close to Zuo Qiuyong, his figure had already entered a near-death state.

The whole person looked extremely miserable, almost no different from a fleshless skeleton.

"It's... it's growth! This guy controls the Heavenly Dao of growth!" Li Huowang stared intently at Zuo Qiuyong with his singular eye.

"My... my body is fine! My body is absolutely fine!!" Li Huowang tried desperately to think, attempting to use the Cultivation Technique to restore his body, even if just temporarily to endure for a period.

Li Huowang's near-dead body became slightly more normal, but fearing Zuo Qiuyong might take away the truth he had cultivated, his flesh quickly regressed back again.

The difference in strength between himself and him was really too vast. The other's strength was overwhelming. Zuo Qiuyong was different from other sects. He didn't use a part of the power of Heavenly Dao; he directly controlled the entire Dao. This guy is almost the Fate Commander in the Mortal World!

Even facing the Dharma Sect's Fate Commander in the past, Li Huowang had never felt despair, but this time he really felt helpless—unable to escape, unable to fight, completely unable to find any chance to turn the tables.

Zuo Qiuyong didn't intend to rush into action, just watched Li Huowang struggle with great interest.

"Li Huowang, you've caused quite a bit of trouble for me in the past. I didn't deal with you before simply because I didn't care, but that doesn't mean you can keep jumping around forever."

"Li Brother! How are you? Are you alright?" Seeing Li Huowang in distress, Bai Lingmiao immediately broke away from the Say-Not army, hurried to his side, and hurriedly supported him to prevent him from falling.

During the gap of support, Bai Lingmiao reached her hand into the back of Li Huowang's head, directly slamming a Hong Zhong into Li Huowang's brain.

Feeling the sudden message in his mind, Li Huowang, eyes wide open, looked at the girl beside him with immense shock.

"Li Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Tears soaked Bai Lingmiao's blindfold, and her face was full of deep sorrow.

"Hmph~!" Seeing this scene, Zuo Qiuyong suddenly piled his face with disdain. "Don't worry, soon I'll send you guys on your way together~ So you can reincarnate together."

The severely battered Li Huowang suddenly chuckled softly, the laughter filled with triumph and slyness.

"Did you really think you had won? Did you really think I came over here, wasting so much time, just to wait for death?"

"Hmm?" Zuo Qiuyong's face tightened, scrutinizing the Li Huowang before him. No matter how he looked, this kid wasn't his match. What made him dare to say such words?

"You have a grudge with Wu Sheng Laomu, and you made such a big fuss. Did Wu Sheng Laomu really not prepare? Do you know what 'luring the tiger from the mountain' means? You came here, and there's no one watching other places." Li Huowang held Bai Lingmiao's waist, smiling proudly.

Zuo Qiuyong's expression tightened, and with a flick of his right hand, dozens of long needles with threads instantly pierced Li Huowang's broken body, pinning him in place.

He looked at Li Huowang thoroughly, used a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and giggled coyly, "I heard you have some ties with the Oblivion Path, but if you think just this could fool me, you're underestimating me, kid. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."

Li Huowang clutched his belly and burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Good! It's best if you think that way; anyway, since the Fate Commander acted, you might be too late to rush back now."

As soon as Li Huowang's words fell, the world changed drastically, and Li Huowang immediately felt the pain in his body disappear, not just the pain but also the rot.

It was a divine intervention, and two Heavenly Dao were gone.

"Hahaha!!" Li Huowang extended his hand, pointing at Zuo Qiuyong, laughing loudly. "Dead eunuch! How about it, do you believe me now? This time I won!"

Just as Zuo Qiuyong's expression turned uncertain, another Heavenly Dao disappeared; this time, it was Compassion.

Zuo Qiuyong could no longer sit still, pulling his single hand and causing the long threads inside Li Huowang to strangle swiftly, instantly slicing Li Huowang's entire body into pieces.

He could barely pay attention to Bai Lingmiao, the Heart Pan of Wu Sheng Laomu, seemingly something far more important, and immediately jumped onto the dragon's back, flying eastward.

As Zuo Qiuyong retreated and with the sudden change in the world, anyone could tell something significant had happened, and the Say-Not army along with the fox-faced Heart Pan followed Zuo Qiuyong away.

After a while, only Bai Lingmiao and Li Huowang's body chunks were left nearby.

A piece of light human skin emerged from the body chunks, growing rapidly and long, swallowing all the scattered shadows around, and Li Huowang came back to life again.

Bai Lingmiao crossed her arms and said to Li Huowang, "Look, other Heavenly Dao can be summoned and dismissed at will, but deception is an exception. Only our Oblivion Path can use it flexibly! No matter how powerful, one can still be deceived."

Li Huowang bent down and picked up the Spinal Bone Sword from the pool of blood, "Let's retreat quickly. If Zuo Qiuyong finds out, I was merely deceiving him with the divine intervention, we won't be able to leave then."

It was merely a ruse just now; Li Huowang used the guise of divine intervention to force Zuo Qiuyong to retreat.

Wu Sheng Laomu didn't even take action. Li Huowang didn't even know what Zuo Qiuyong was currently alarmed or afraid of.

The rift leading to Da Liang cracked open swiftly, allowing the two to return to Da Liang instantly.

Compared to the chaotic Tianchen Country and Da Qi, Da Liang seemed very peaceful, with Da Liang's center being the Imperial Garden. Some concubines appreciated flowers and savored tea with palace maids and eunuchs accompanying them.

The appearance of the naked Li Huowang interrupted the tranquility, causing screams and shouts repeatedly.

Li Huowang grabbed a eunuch, tore off his clothes, draping them on himself, and said to the woman with the Phoenix Crown, "Are you Gao Zhijian's wife? Quickly call him here, and tell him the trouble has been temporarily dealt with."

When he saw the woman run away crying and weeping, Li Huowang breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing; the situation just now was truly precarious, any mishap and he would have died at Zuo Qiuyong's hands.

"Yes~ just temporarily dealt with them, they'll return." Bai Lingmiao walked to the table and picked up a cup of tea to savor.

"Change your face! I'm annoyed looking at it!"

Bai Lingmiao flicked her hand, and a twelve-sided dice with constantly changing numbers appeared before Li Huowang.

Li Huowang frowned as he looked at him, "How did you know a disaster was about to happen?"

Had it not been for the perfectly timed disaster, Zuo Qiuyong might not have been scared away.

The dice chuckled, picked up the teacup again, and took a sip. "Don't worry about that; I have connections."
