Seeing his two guards killed with a single strike, the sallow-faced man trembled all over in fear.
In the next moment.
Evan Chen’s figure landed in front of him.
Immortal Power sealed off a hundred-meter radius, rendering the sallow-faced man immobile, let alone able to escape.
“Senior, this is a misunderstanding… My name is Su Tianqi, the Holy Son of the Su family in the Tianyan Domain. Please, Senior…”
Slap!
Evan Chen slapped him across the face.
“I asked Brother Daniel to speak on this matter, intending to give you a way out, but you didn’t cherish it.”
Evan’s face was expressionless, his killing intent icy cold.
“I know my mistake now, please give me another chance… If Senior spares my life, I will repay you handsomely,” Su Tianqi pleaded, kneeling in front of Evan.
It wasn’t that Su Tianqi was cowardly; it was just that Evan’s Immortal Power had completely broken his spirit.
“Hand over everything in your storage bags,” Evan said calmly.
Hearing this, Su Tianqi was overjoyed. As long as this guy wanted money and not his life, everything could be negotiated.
He thought to himself that he could deal with Evan later by bringing experts from his family.
Thinking of this, Su Tianqi quickly emptied the contents of his ten storage bags.
Various treasures, elixirs, weapons, and Spirit Stones piled up into a small mountain.
Most of these things were useless to Evan, but the sect would need resources to train disciples in the future. They couldn’t give everyone Immortal Crystals, so these would serve as the True Immortal Sect’s initial funds.
With a thought, Evan stored all the items into his storage bag.
The storage bag had a space of at least a million cubic meters, far surpassing the capacity of the storage bags.
“Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life. When I return, I will send more gifts.”
Afraid that Evan wouldn’t relent, Su Tianqi quickly promised more benefits.
“Spare you? Did I ever say I would spare you?”
Evan’s lips curled into a cold smile.
At this moment, Evan felt a sense of satisfaction, just as James Li had taught him before—do whatever you want in the Lower Realm!
“Senior… you can’t do this. Even if I must die, at least let me die knowing why. What happened, Senior?” Su Tianqi cried.
Evan couldn’t be bothered to answer. Li Huaizhen stepped forward and said coldly, “Do you remember a few days ago when you surrounded and attacked me?”
Seeing Li Huaizhen, surrounded by demonic energy, Su Tianqi finally understood the situation.
So this Immortal Realm expert was backing this blind fool!
“Brother, I apologize for my previous offenses. I hope you can forgive me.”
“Sorry, but I am a Demonic Cultivator.”
With those words, Li Huaizhen swiftly slashed Su Tianqi’s throat with a scythe.
“You…”
Su Tianqi’s eyes widened, blood filling his throat as he fell to the ground, dead with his eyes open.
Immediately, Li Huaizhen turned and bowed to Evan, “Young Master, if this man were left alive, he would seek revenge. Therefore, I took the liberty of killing him. Please punish me.”
Evan laughed heartily and said, “Demonic Cultivators indeed have character. A true man should act decisively. Well done!”
Evan wasn’t too concerned about the Su family’s power.
Even if the Su family had a group of Immortal Realm experts, he could return to the Immortal World, buy a bunch of killing talismans, and deal with them all.
Though he wasn’t afraid, he still believed in the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.
Daniel Ge and the others looked at the corpse on the ground, somewhat worried.
“Brother Evan, to avoid future retaliation, killing him was indeed correct. But his family will certainly come looking for the truth. This matter might be hidden for a while, but not forever,” Daniel Ge said with a sigh.
“So what? If they can’t find out, it’s their luck. If they do find out it was me, then their family’s fate is sealed,” Evan said indifferently.
Hearing this, Bruce Meng felt uneasy. He thought to himself that this person was ruthless and liked to stir up trouble. Inviting him to join the Ascension Alliance might not be a good idea, so he decided not to mention it.
Later, Evan struck out with a palm, reducing Su Tianqi’s corpse to nothingness.
In the place where the corpse had been, a dark green ring floated.
This was the defensive Immortal Artifact!
“Brother Bruce, you can have this Immortal Artifact,” Evan said.
Bruce Meng was shocked, thinking that taking this item would surely bring endless trouble in the future. So he said, “This item is Brother Evan’s spoils of war. How could I dare to take it?”
Evan smiled and looked at Daniel Ge, “Brother Daniel, you’ll be facing the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation in two or three years, right? This defensive Immortal Artifact is perfect for you. Take it.”
Daniel Ge waved his hands repeatedly, “I dare not. I’m just a Land Immortal, unworthy of such an item. Only Brother Evan can wield it.”
“Really don’t want it?”
“Don’t want it.”
Evan waved his hand, took the ring, and stored it in his storage bag with a clear conscience.
“Now that this matter is settled, Brother Bruce, Brother Daniel, why don’t you join me in exploring the Forbidden Zone?” Evan suggested.
“This Forbidden Zone is filled with demonic energy. Even if there are treasures inside, they are left by Demonic Cultivators and not suitable for us. We better not go,” Bruce Meng said.
“Alright then,” Evan nodded, “You two are always welcome to visit the True Immortal Sect for tea.”
“Certainly, certainly. Let’s part ways for now and meet again another day.”
Bruce and Daniel cupped their hands towards Evan and flew away.
After they left, Evan murmured, “Cultivators in the Lower Realm are indeed cautious. They can resist even a defensive Immortal Artifact. Impressive.”
“Young Master, there was an old man with this person. It’s best to eliminate him too,” Li Huaizhen reminded.
“Yes,” Evan nodded, “We must indeed eliminate him. Otherwise, if he comes to cause trouble while I’m in seclusion, you won’t be able to handle it. Go investigate now, and if you find him, use the Immortal Artifact to ambush and kill him.”
That old man was also at the mid-stage of peak cultivation. In a one-on-one fight, even with an Immortal Artifact, Li Huaizhen wasn’t confident of killing him.
But if he ambushed him, it would be different. One slash of the scythe could take his head as easily as drinking water.
“By your command!”
Li Huaizhen took the order and flew away.
Evan returned to the palace.
He went to the training hall and took out the “Raging Waves Sword Art” given to him by Bruce Meng.
“It doesn’t seem difficult.”
Evan scanned the sword art with his powerful mental energy. The sword art had nine levels and eighteen forms. Once mastered, it could use the sword to manipulate some rules of power, thereby enhancing combat strength.
“Majestic Heavenly Power, wielded by the sword… Good, the first form ‘Sword Wielding Form’ sounds promising.”
Evan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. In his mind, he created a mental avatar and began practicing the sword art.
An hour later, Evan had fully comprehended all nine levels of the sword art and had integrated them.
“This sword art is too simple. I wonder how powerful it is?”
In reality, it wasn’t that the sword art was simple, but because he had the Pure Sword Body.
The Pure Sword Body had an extremely high affinity for the sword path, making sword cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. Even creating sword techniques from scratch wasn’t difficult.
