NOVEL NEXT chapter 231
231. The Arrival of Immortal Ling Huang
In the mortal world, if someone suddenly died, it would definitely cause a panic, and the atmosphere would be filled with a sense of suspense.
The immortals of Zifeng Valley were a bit calmer, but still very worried.
In general, the first reaction in such a situation is:
There is an assassin.
There are assassins in the mortal world, and there are assassins in the immortal valley. However, to be able to kill an immortal in the immortal valley, the origin must be extraordinary.
Seeing this situation, even if it was a small matter, Lin Nuo secretly rejoiced.
Good, it’s best if they all die. This Zifeng Valley will be used to bury your bones. I, Lin, will dance on your graves during the Qingming Festival.
Lin Nuo pretended to be very concerned and approached the group of immortals.
“He has no external injuries, it’s internal. His immortal energy has completely dissipated. Normally, it takes a day for an immortal’s energy to completely dissipate after death. Could he have been dead for a day?”
“Impossible. I saw him before the immortal beast ran out. He also went out to look for the immortal beast. He couldn’t have been dead for a day.”
“Then how do you explain the disappearance of his immortal energy?”
The immortals began to argue about their opinions, the argument becoming more and more intense.
Lin Nuo: What are you arguing about? Fight! If you can fight, don’t just talk. Whoever wins, we listen to them.
“This doesn’t look like the work of our Zifeng Valley immortals.”
After observing for a while, Immortal Dong said, “Or perhaps the escape of the immortal beast this time is closely related to this.”
Lin Nuo glanced at her.
Isn’t that obvious? Which idiot would use the methods of your Zifeng Valley immortals to kill? Wouldn’t that leave traces?
“What happened?”
At this moment, a long-haired male immortal with his hands behind his back stepped through the layers of mountains and landed on the lush green grass.
“Immortal Ling Huang, it’s bad, Immortal Yu Huang has been killed.”
The ethereal male immortal who arrived was named Immortal Ling Huang. He was actually nearly a hundred years old, but looked only about thirty.
Immortal Ling Huang was a high-level figure in Zifeng Valley, one of the leaders of this immortal valley, and the youngest among the high-level immortals.
Immortal Ling Huang was highly respected among the immortals, after all, he was powerful and knowledgeable. If there was any major event, other immortals would hope to seek his help.
Currently, many high-ranking immortals in Zifeng Valley have already left, and there are not many high-ranking immortals remaining.
When the graceful Immortal Linghuang landed, a slight immortal breeze was stirred.
Lin Nuo took one look at this Immortal Linghuang and knew he was a high-ranking immortal. That aura and momentum were absolutely unmatched by other immortals.
A high-ranking immortal, perhaps an old adversary.
Lin Nuo roughly sized up this Immortal Linghuang. He had no impression of having fought this immortal, nor did he have any grievances with him.
However, as he looked at Immortal Linghuang’s fair face and observed his facial contours, a person’s image flashed through his mind.
That person, with blood-stained hands, lived on bloodlust. With every move, the entire city would be awash in blood.
This person, how come he looks so much like the Blood Demon Yusha?
Is this the immortal version of Yusha? Are you long-lost twin brothers?
Speaking of which, the Blood Demon Yusha has not yet appeared. According to legends, he should appear around a year later.
Lin Nuo had only heard about the Blood Demon Yusha’s past. It was said that he was born a commoner and was noticed early on by the Blood Fiend Sect, a sect that practiced blood curse techniques, and was taught the ways of the blood curse.
Later, with his extraordinary talent, he eventually became the fearsome Blood Demon, and his reputation spread about a year from now.
Lin Nuo thought it might be his illusion. Actually, this Immortal Linghuang had nothing to do with the Blood Demon Yusha.
Immortal Linghuang went to the immortal’s corpse, squatted down slightly, and observed it for a while. Soon after, he gave his conclusion:
“Immortal Yuhuang has no external injuries. It should be internal injuries, as if eroded by an unknown energy. However, this unknown energy left no traces, so I cannot determine what it is for now.”
As soon as the authoritative Immortal Linghuang spoke, the immortals began to look at each other, suddenly feeling the situation was more severe.
Unknown energy, what could it be?
“But everyone need not panic. It might be some toxic gas emitted by plants in Zifeng Valley that we have not yet discovered. Zifeng Valley is our immortal land. Even if there are uninvited guests, we can quickly find them.”
Immortal Linghuang tried to calm the other immortals’ unease. As a high-ranking immortal in Zifeng Valley, he should have this awareness.
“I heard that the immortal beasts are running amok. Have you found out the reason?” Immortal Linghuang asked.
“We are still unclear. Currently, my disciple Li Ruo’er is communicating with the immortal beasts, but they are uneasy and unwilling to speak. We plan to have Li Ruo’er calm them down to investigate further.”
Dong Xiyan reported, and then Immortal Linghuang’s gaze shifted to the little white fox girl.
Immortal Linghuang looked kind and amiable, but Li Ruo’er felt a slight malice in his eyes.
Immortal Linghuang asked, “Can she communicate with the immortal beasts?”
“Yes, she has a unique talent and can communicate with the immortal beasts,” Dong Xiyan responded.
“That’s great. Recruiting such talent is truly a blessing for Zifeng Valley. With her help, the weak point in managing the immortal beasts might be improved.”
Immortal Linghuang smiled and, with expectant eyes, said to Li Ruo’er:
“Little girl, we entrust you with the matter of the immortal beasts running amok. We hope you can help us get to the bottom of it.”
Although his words sounded kind, they inexplicably made Li Ruo’er feel a bit scared.
“Um… I’ll do my best… Thank you…”
Li Ruo’er stammered and couldn’t help but lean behind Lin Nuo, like a shy little girl hiding behind her big brother when meeting strangers.
“She’s quite introverted, please don’t mind her, senior.”
Lin Nuo quickly spoke, to relieve Li Ruo’er’s pressure, as he could see that although Ling Huangxian appeared kind and amiable on the surface, his words carried a hint of coercion.
“May I know who this young man is?”
“The junior’s name is Lin Nuo, and I am Li Ruo’er’s young master.”
“Oh, Lin Nuo, I see. I’ve heard of your name.”
Ling Huangxian smiled, “It’s truly our honor that Zifeng Valley can host such a talent like you.”
“You flatter me.”
After exchanging a few words with Ling Huangxian, Lin Nuo quickly ended the conversation. To be honest, Ling Huangxian’s words indeed had a hint of the sinister aura of a blood demon.
The immortals carried away Yu Huangxian’s corpse, then dispersed, leaving a few behind to watch over the immortal beast.
Lin Nuo walked to the edge of a nearby cliff, gazing into the distance. He was now at a high vantage point, overlooking a lush green forest.
However, vaguely, he noticed a path in the forest, seemingly leading to another place.
“What is that place?”
Lin Nuo murmured to himself.
“The Valley of Resentment and Evil, a place where demons, ghosts, and evil spirits are imprisoned.”
Ling Huangxian suddenly approached, smiling.
