The End of the Immortal Path

Furthermore, if he encountered the auras of the two Great Evil Gods, he could directly channel them to summon Ting Fengyin.

A certain Evil God had descendants with the surname Tantai, and now there was also the matter of what the Demon Lord cared about.

Ting Fengyin was truly no simple character.

’And most importantly, all those fruits... such good stuff.’

Jiang Man put away the envelope and said, "It’s nothing. I ran into an old friend and chatted with him for a bit."

Lin Fei had grown accustomed to silence.

But Jiang Man’s sudden disappearance had indeed worried him. The people from the Sect were even more concerned. They couldn’t make sense of the situation and were terrified of retaliation.

"I’m glad you’re alright. What are your plans now?" Steward Luo asked.

He was scared witless. The man leaving was one thing, but his sudden return was even more terrifying.

But it also spoke to the man’s terrifying power.

"You can release them. I plan to look around a bit, and then I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else," Jiang Man said.

He had already received Ting Fengyin’s guidance and knew the location of the Sword Intent’s source.

After he checked it out, he could head back.

From the looks of it, there was nothing here related to an Evil God.

If there were, Ting Fengyin would have said so long ago.

"Excellent! I’ll arrange it right away," Steward Luo said with delight.

’He’s finally leaving. If he’d stayed any longer, I don’t think I could’ve taken it.’

The man was too mysterious. He’d vanished and reappeared without warning and even drew his sword so casually.

No one knew how much power he was hiding.

Jiang Man suddenly had a realization. What truly intimidated people wasn’t just the strength of an Unparalleled Celestial Pride.

It was the mystery of the unknown.

In reality, he was only at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

He couldn’t have stirred up much trouble in the Lingyue Sect.

His confidence came entirely from the fact that he could use an Array to escape.

But they didn’t know that activating the Magpie Bridge had also made him seem even more mysterious.

’No wonder Old Huang always liked to only tell half the story.’

After this silent reflection, Jiang Man asked for the way to the lower levels.

He would find what he was looking for down there.

"I know the way," Lin Fei said immediately. "Let me go with you."

"Which Sect are you from?" Jiang Man asked.

"The Evergreen Sect," Lin Fei said.

Jiang Man nodded. "Then you can certainly come with us. The Wuyun Sect group should have other people from your Sect. I know quite a few of them."

Xu Chen, the one he had beaten up before, was also from the Evergreen Sect.

After that, Jiang Man bid farewell to Steward Luo and had Lin Fei lead the way out.

Jiang Man stated bluntly that he probably wouldn’t be returning to the Sword Tomb after this visit.

Steward Luo couldn’t have been happier to hear it, but in the end, he still presented Jiang Man with thirty Spirit Stones, saying they were the reward for his previous mission.

Jiang Man looked at him and said earnestly, "Steward Luo, I’ve taken a liking to you. If your Sect ever gets into big trouble and the Wuyun Sect attacks, just run toward me if you see me. I’ll make sure you’re safe."

Steward Luo was so moved that he took out another twenty Spirit Stones and gave them to Jiang Man.

He considered it an advance payment for his own safety.

But that was only if Jiang Man was actually there. If not, well, that would just be his bad luck.

「That afternoon.」

Zhuo Qingcheng had more or less finished her investigation.

The previous undercover agents had definitely been captured. Not only that, but her group had also been lured here. A net was closing in around them, and they were being herded into a trap.

Now she was hesitating. Should she break through the net directly, or should she play along, follow the trap, and venture deeper?

While she was hesitating, she suddenly received a message about an urgent mission, telling her to wait at the Sect’s main gate.

She found it a bit puzzling but went to the main gate anyway.

However, when she got there, she discovered that it wasn’t just her. The well-built Long Yangxia, the ordinary Jiang Wen, and the alluring Han Meixue had all been summoned as well.

The four of them looked at each other, all knowing the situation was dire.

In an instant, their power began to circulate as they prepared to strike.

However, the situation was not what they had expected.

Four other people were brought out.

These four were the previous group of undercover agents from the Wuyun Sect.

It was just that two of them were severely injured, one seemed to be in a daze, and the last was sighing dejectedly.

At that moment, the aura of a Primordial Spirit emanated from the Sect Leader as he stood at the main gate. "These are four of Wuyun Sect’s undercover agents. Take them back with you."

Sensing the man’s powerful aura, Zhuo Qingcheng frowned and asked, "Senior, what are you planning?"

"Nothing at all. I simply have no intention of starting a conflict with your esteemed Sect. This was all just an accident," the Sect Leader said with a tone of resignation.

"We still have one more person," Zhuo Qingcheng said.

"Ah Niu, correct?" the Sect Leader replied. "He’ll come out once he’s finished looking around inside. I hope you will all leave as soon as possible. There’s no need for conflict."

Zhuo Qingcheng and the others were a bit stunned. ’What happened? Why is Jiang Man able to just wander around inside? And why were our people suddenly released?’

They had clearly been exposed and were at a disadvantage.

But the Sect Leader looked tired and resigned, as if *he* were the one at a disadvantage.

Han Meixue looked at the Senior before them and asked curiously, "Did he do something?"

"Not really. He was quite reasonable, actually. We just reached an understanding." The Sect Leader hesitated for a moment before asking curiously, "How does he perform in your Sect?"

Zhuo Qingcheng gave a simple answer: "He’s a legend."

"Why would a legend come to a small place like ours?" the Sect Leader asked, perplexed.

"Of course, it’s because our Senior Sister Zhuo used all sorts of methods to invite him here to back us up," Han Meixue said proudly.

Jiang Wen and the others looked at Han Meixue but said nothing.

’That wasn’t your attitude before we left.’

Zhuo Qingcheng thought for a moment, then said, "We still have another mission."

The Sect Leader nodded in understanding. "He’s already looking around inside. If there are any problems, he’ll tell you. You don’t need to worry about that."

Zhuo Qingcheng was baffled. ’What on earth did Jiang Man do?’

But then she pointed to the two severely wounded agents and asked, "How were they injured?"

The Sect Leader gave a dry laugh. "He beat them up casually. As for the one in a daze, he casually reported him."

"I have to say, he’s quite ruthless with his own people."

The four of them: "..."
