Immovable Immortal King Takes Action

A brand-new location—the overlap between the Array Clan ruins and the Outer Battlefield.

A handsome male cultivator of the Fox Demon Clan, with eyes like cold stars and deep pupils that seemed to conceal ice and snow that had never melted for ten thousand years, strode forward alone.

An invisible barrier of frost surrounded him, as though any cultivator who drew near would instantly be frozen solid by that icy aura.

Wherever his chilling gaze fell, even the air seemed to congeal into frost.

His steps were light, yet with every step he took, a thin layer of frost formed over the grass beneath his feet.

Suddenly, he stopped. Looking at the Fox Demon Clan cultivator who had appeared before him, he cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."

The Fox Demon Clan had many branches, and the Ancestor of his own branch was none other than the Immovable Immortal King.

"Ice-Eyed, you need not be so formal." The Immovable Immortal King gently shook his head. "Among our branch, your talent is the greatest, and you are also the one closest to becoming an Immortal King.

"With your talent, you will certainly become an Immortal King—and you will do so faster than I did in this life.

"Once you become an Immortal King, there will be no need for you to call me Ancestor. We are not short on that little bit of time now either. Just call me Immovable."

As he spoke, the Immovable Immortal King had already walked up to Ice-Eyed True Lord. In a deep voice, he said, "I can find Song Zhong."

Ice-Eyed True Lord's eyes, as though formed from condensed ice crystals, narrowed slightly.

The Immovable Immortal King continued, "As I am now, I am not Song Zhong's match. That is why I came to find you.

"Once we find Song Zhong, the two of us will go together. I will be responsible for locating him, while you will be responsible for killing him.

"No matter how much of a Heavenly Prodigy Song Zhong is, even if he has broken through into the Immortal Affinity Realm, you will still be more than capable of killing him."

A proud expression surfaced on Ice-Eyed True Lord's face. "Killing him will be as easy as turning over my hand."

He was no ordinary True Lord. Even among True Lords, he stood at the very peak.

Otherwise, the Immovable Immortal King would not have said that he would soon become an Immortal King.

Still, he found something strange.

"An Immortal King can find Song Zhong?" He did not directly address the Immovable Immortal King by name, but neither did he continue calling him Ancestor.

"Of course." The Immovable Immortal King sneered. "Under normal circumstances, I would not be able to find Song Zhong either.

"But Song Zhong has one of my magic treasures in his possession. As long as he takes that treasure out, I can sense its location.

"Based on what I know of Song Zhong, he must still be in the Outer Battlefield.

"Given the current situation, Song Zhong would not dare wander about freely. He must have found a place to hide, and he will remain hidden there. Once we sense his location, there will be no need to worry about him leaving.

"And Song Zhong uses a blade. My magic treasure is also a blade. It is impossible for Song Zhong not to use it."

Back in the True Immortal Realm ruins, Song Zhong had directly snatched away his longsword.

Every one of his magic treasures carried special means he had left behind.

As long as Song Zhong took the magic treasure out of his Universe Ring, he would be able to sense its existence.

The only problem was that he was currently no match for Song Zhong.

Of course, he could seek out other experts, but he did not trust them.

If he found another expert, then the credit for killing Song Zhong would ultimately belong to that expert. Worse still, another expert might even secretly kill him for Song Zhong's opportunity and inheritance.

Ice-Eyed was different. They were cultivators of the same branch, and their interests were intertwined.

Ice-Eyed nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Then what about after killing Song Zhong? Hand Song Zhong over to the chief of our Demon Clan, then become the First Prince?

"But only one of us can become the First Prince."

"The First Prince?" The Immovable Immortal King immediately sneered upon hearing this. "Do you think the Lin Demon Clan can offer such benefits without gaining even greater benefits themselves?

"They say that whoever kills Song Zhong can become the First Prince and receive the corresponding resources.

"But everyone knows that Song Zhong possesses a tremendous opportunity.

"When we kill Song Zhong, we cannot simply kill him. We must severely wound him first, then use special methods to obtain the inheritance he acquired.

"When the time comes, if we say that we killed Song Zhong, do you think those fellows from the Lin Clan would not want that inheritance?

"We may both be demon clans, but we are the Fox Demon Clan, while they are the Lin Demon Clan!

"With your current cultivation and status in our Fox Demon Clan, you should have heard at least something about what happened to the former clan chief back then.

"I can tell you clearly: the former clan chief was once an Immortal Emperor!

"And yet, in the end, the Ancestor of the Lin Demon Clan personally acted and killed him.

"They said the former clan chief had betrayed the clan. Do you believe that?

"Was it not simply because he believed the former clan chief threatened him?

"The Lin Demon Clan cannot be trusted!"

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Ice-Eyed's eyes.

The Immovable Immortal King continued, "If the former clan chief had not died back then, the chief of our Demon Clan would still be from our Fox Demon Clan. Given the former clan chief's talent, he might even have surpassed the Ancestor of the Lin Demon Clan by now.

"Perhaps the entire Demon Clan would now answer to our Fox Demon Clan!

"We must make plans for the Fox Demon Clan ourselves."

Ice-Eyed True Lord nodded heavily and asked, "Ancestor, then what are you planning to do?"

Without realizing it, the way he addressed Immovable Immortal King had changed back to "Ancestor."

Immovable Immortal King said in a sinister voice, "Kill Song Zhong in secret. Do not let any cultivator know. In the end, whoever is suited to Song Zhong's inheritance can take it.

The most important thing is the Array Clan inheritance Song Zhong obtained.

Among our clan, you are the most skilled in formations. If we obtain that inheritance and gain those terrifying grand formations, then the status of our Fox Demon Clan and the Lin Demon Clan will have to be properly discussed."

That was why he had come to find Ice-Eyed True Lord. Like him, Ice-Eyed True Lord was a cultivator of the Fox Demon Clan.

"Alright. Then what should we do now?"

"Wait... wait for Song Zhong to take out that artifact of mine."

Immovable Immortal King and Ice-Eyed True Lord quickly found a place and began waiting. Before they knew it, nearly four years had passed.

Yet Immovable Immortal King's artifact had remained utterly silent.

Immovable Immortal King had even broken through to become a Half-Step True Monarch.

He had originally been an Immortal King reincarnated, so his cultivation speed was naturally faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, he had already been on the verge of a breakthrough.

This breakthrough had now come as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Inside a concealed cave, Song Zhong stared helplessly at one Universe Ring after another.

"The resources are almost used up. If this keeps going, what can I do staying here once I run out of resources?"

With a helpless expression, Song Zhong once more rummaged through the Universe Rings, even checking the Universe Rings he usually used.

"Hm? This saber."

Song Zhong took out a pitch-black long saber. Sensing the aura it gave off, joy appeared on his face. "This aura is far stronger than my long saber's. This is a Mystic Rank artifact—probably a Mystic Rank, High Grade artifact!

This should be Immovable Immortal King's artifact, right?

What a pity it isn't a Lightning Artifact..."

At the same time, in another concealed cave, Immovable Immortal King, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, abruptly raised his head. A wild ecstasy surfaced on his face.

"Song Zhong has touched my artifact. He isn't far away. Come, we must hurry!

Remember, when we make our move, we must be fast.

Although several years have passed without any news of Song Zhong, and many cultivators believe he may have already left the Outer Battlefield, there are far fewer cultivators in the Outer Battlefield now. But this matter is of great importance—if our battle drags on too long and draws other cultivators here, it will be troublesome."
