Even wisps of black vapor that the disciples had failed to notice began to rise...
After they had passed over the battlefield and traveled for a long while, Ling Jianzi suddenly asked, "Senior, you don't seem to be a Yang Spirit Expert. Could you have already become a True Immortal?"
Tang Changsheng said calmly, "More or less."
The two immediately regarded him with awe. A True Immortal! That was nearly the highest achievement possible in this world.
But it also made sense. If Tang Changsheng were not a True Immortal, how could he have knocked True Person Yuzhi unconscious with a single, effortless blow?
In any case, that battle had been no more than a minor interlude for them.
No matter how brutal the wars of the Human Realm became, they would never reach people like them.
Tang Changsheng, meanwhile, had been observing this world with growing interest. An idea gradually took shape in his mind.
"Senior, we've reached Hedong County. This is where the demon is rumored to have appeared!"
Tang Changsheng asked, "Where are the fellow cultivators who sent you the message?"
"The letter said they were at Immortal Crag Mountain in Hedong County!"
"Then let's go meet them and see whether they have any news!"
Before Tang Changsheng could bring his sword light down, he sensed something wrong with the place. Faintly, he seemed to feel the Lord of Ultimate's presence.
So he really did hide in this world!
Tang Changsheng kept the thought to himself and drew his power even further inward, lest he alert the Lord of Ultimate.
That fellow could flee like a rat. Hidden somewhere in this world, he would hardly have been easy to find if they had not stumbled upon him by chance.
*If he escapes this time, finding him again
