You Offended the Immortal and Still Want to Leave?

On a small hill near Jade Spring Mountain,

Mao Gang was hiding in the dense forest with more than a dozen of his confidants.

His gaze was fixed on the Temporary Palace Villa located on the mountainside of Jade Spring Mountain opposite.

His task was simple.

The task is to monitor whether tonight's [Immortal-Slaying Plan] succeeds.

It was a success.

Everyone was overjoyed; they were promoted and their names were recorded in history.

If it fails,

He would immediately evacuate the Capital to join the Duke of Qian army there, and then return to defend the emperor.

[The Immortal-Slaying Plan] Step One

Perfect.

Jade Spring Mountain exploded.

The entire Temporary Palace Villa were bombed into ruins.

Such terrifying power would severely injure even a celestial True Immortal, if not kill them.

[The Immortal-Slaying Plan] Step Two

Perfect.

The tens of thousands of Divine Pivot Battalion, who were lying in ambush at the Jade Spring Mountain, launched a full-scale attack immediately after the explosion.

He admitted that the Immortal was very powerful.

But no matter how strong you are

Faced with these two deadly attacks, they will surely perish.

Mao Gang firmly believed in his heart,

He trembled with excitement.

Until they saw a bright, clear moon rise from the ruins filled with towering flames and billowing smoke.

Mao Gang's excited heart immediately turned ice-cold.

The Immortal did not die.

He is still alive.

[The Immortal-Slaying Plan] Step One

Fail.

It's okay, though.

They also have the Divine Pivot Battalion.

The Divine Pivot Battalion was an elite force guarding the Capital, heavily armored, well-equipped, and powerful—a truly formidable army.

In terms of both numbers and combat strength, they are far superior to the Thunderclap Battalion of Zhenning Prefecture.

The Immortals, capable of wiping out the Thunderclap Battalion of over a thousand men, were no match for the Divine Pivot Battalion of tens of thousands.

Mao Gang silently comforted himself.

But those clenched fists, white knuckles, and taut body all told others...

He is very nervous right now, extremely nervous.

Above Jade Spring Mountain,

A clear and ethereal lightsaber appeared out of thin air.

It instantly illuminated the entire Jade Spring Mountain.

Mao Gang's eyesight improved,

But his heart gradually sank into a bottomless abyss.

The Divine Pivot Battalion was clearly in high spirits, their fighting spirit soaring.

But Mao Gang's unease and fear grew stronger and stronger.

In his eyes at this moment,

These tens of thousands of Divine Pivot Battalion soldiers, who fought bravely and relentlessly, were not vying for immense credit, but rather willingly throwing themselves to their deaths.

As it turns out,

His premonition came true.

As hundreds and thousands of sword lights and Sword Shadows swept across the ruins of the Temporary Palace Villa,

After screams and wails echoed through the night sky

Mao Gang felt as if his body and soul were being tightly enveloped by a bone-chilling cold.

Those Divine Pivot Battalion soldiers on whom he placed high hopes,

They had only just reached the mountainside when...

Like wheat in a field, they fell in swathes.

At this rate,

These tens of thousands of soldiers wouldn't last long before they were slaughtered by the Immortals.

It was at this moment that

Mao Gang then clearly realized that,

The gap between mortals and Immortals is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

It's simply not something that can be matched by numbers or strategy.

In the presence of true Immortals,

No matter how many people there are, they are all ants.

No matter how brilliant the strategy, it is all in vain.

"Run! Run, run now!"

Mao Gang dared not look any further.

He suddenly stood up and addressed the relatives and friends behind him.

If you don't run,

It will be too late.

He no longer intended to meet up with the Duke of Qian as originally planned.

Even if the Duke of Qian had brought 100,000 or 500,000 men, let alone only 50,000, they would still be sent to their deaths.

The Immortal's power far exceeded his imagination.

He was terrified.

Don't even mention making enemies of Immortals again.

He doesn't even dare to look at the Immortals again.

He wanted to escape the Capital, flee to the ends of the earth, and then change his name and appearance.

Perhaps only in this way,

Only then would he have a sliver of hope to survive.

What kind of Immortal-Slaying Plan, this bastard's name to be remembered in history?

Get the hell out of my way!

Mao Gang, along with a dozen or so of his equally terrified confidants, turned and fled.

It was as if they had made up their minds.

But a figure standing in the shadows of the trees blocked their way.

Who is it?

Mao Gang, who was already as easily frightened as a bird, was startled and shouted in a low, stern voice.

They were afraid that the noise would be too loud and attract the attention of the Immortals a kilometer away.

His trusted men behind him drew their swords, poised to strike, exuding a murderous aura.

A figure moved slightly in the woods.

He walked out slowly.

My feet trod on the grass without making a sound.

Mao Gang's pupils contracted, and his muscles tensed.

This person's martial arts skills are very strong, no less than his.

But when he saw the person's face clearly, his tense nerves relaxed a little.

"So it's Sanbao Eunuch. You're still alive!"

Sanbao Eunuch was the chief eunuch of the imperial palace placed by His Majesty beside the Immortal, but his true identity was the supervisor of the Eastern Depot.

His status and position were equivalent to that of the Commander of the Pacification Investigation Office.

Logically speaking,

He couldn't possibly have survived the massive explosion while accompanying the Immortal.

Although he was highly skilled in martial arts

But in the end, they are still just mortal beings made of flesh and blood.

"Lord Mao, my name is Cao Zhengchun now."

Cao Zhengchun spoke with a smile.

"His Majesty took it?"

Mao Gang asked instinctively.

Cao Zhengchun shook his head.

"No, it was taken by Immortal."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The arena fell into a deathly silence.

Mao Gang finally understood why the other person was still alive; it turned out that this dead eunuch had actually pledged allegiance to Immortal.

"How dare you betray your country and your sovereign, turning against your lord in the face of battle!"

Mao Gang drew his sword and pointed it at the prime minister, his anger barely contained.

"Don't forget that your current status and position were all given to His Majesty. To be so ungrateful is worse than being a beast."

Upon hearing this,

Cao Zhengchun remained silent for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Our family has already repaid what we owed His Majesty. It was the Immortal who gave us a new life. Now, apart from the Immortal, our family owes no one anything."

Seeing that Cao Zhengchun showed no remorse,

Mao Gang cursed inwardly.

These damned eunuchs are all opportunists, always switching sides.

Opportunistic and sycophantic

They have absolutely no loyalty or integrity.

It's likely that they had already guessed that His Majesty was no match for the Immortals, which is why they abandoned the darkness and switched sides at the last minute.

Damn it, you should have taken me with you!

I can love Immortals too.

I can talk to them too.

"Have mercy on me, and I'll give you anything."

Mao Gang was not afraid of the other party.

Although this ungrateful eunuch was highly skilled in martial arts,

But he's not weak either.

Moreover, he has a larger group of people on his side.

Thirteen against one,

The advantage lies with me.

The reason he humbled himself and compromised was because he was afraid that the commotion from the fight would be too great and disturb the Immortals.

After hearing Mao Gang's plea for release,

Cao Zhengchun simply smiled and shook his head.

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

Mao Gang narrowed his eyes, his tone cold and stern.

"You've offended the Immortals; none of you will be able to leave."

Cao Zhengchun spoke in a gentle and refined voice.

"You may commit suicide, and our family will allow you to die with your bodies intact."

"Arrogant!!"

Mao Gang roared angrily, no longer caring whether it would attract the attention of the Immortals.

If they don't get rid of this damned eunuch quickly, they really won't be able to escape.

"Kill him."

At a command,

His twelve trusted men immediately surrounded him with knives.

These trusted men were the elite of the Pacification Investigation Office, and countless Jianghu masters had died at their hands.

A mere country eunuch from the Beiping Ancestral Temple in Beiping,

What is there to fear?

But soon,

Mao Gang was utterly astonished.

None of his elite confidants could survive a single round against this eunuch.

Either their necks were broken, or their heads were smashed.

The Abyss-Suppressing Saber, forged through countless trials, couldn't even leave a mark on him with his bare hands.

And then there's that Ghostlike Movement Method, those clean and efficient killing techniques...

In a short period of time,

His twelve elite confidants were all slaughtered, each dying a gruesome death.

"What kind of martial art are you practicing?"

Mao Gang's face turned pale, and he choked on his saliva.

"Heavenly Gang Childlike Boy Skill"

Cao Zhengchun, whose hands were unstained by blood and whose clothes were spotless, spoke with a smile.

"Lord Mao, it's time for you to set off."

"Stop looking down on me."

Enraged, Mao Gang roared, his imposing aura overwhelming, and then charged forward, dragging his sword.

A moment later,

Cao Zhengchun held in his hand a severed head, its eyes wide open in disbelief.

They slowly disappeared into the woods.
