The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 66 - Kill the Son of an Aristocratic Family

Just as Wu Shuangshuang was thinking dark thoughts, suddenly, she felt a pain in the back of her head, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness on the spot.

Her body fell forward!

Xie Jiuniang timely grabbed her by the collar of her dress to prevent her from falling.

And the young bear that dropped was caught by a delicate little hand.

“Little Jianjian, keep an eye on our surroundings, and let me know if someone comes.”

Xie Jiuniang held the young bear in one arm and started searching Wu Shuangshuang’s body. Sadly, the good items were bounded to their owner, and she couldn’t handle them immediately, so she simply didn’t take them. She wiped away the divine sense in Wu Shuangshuang’s Storage Bag.

An unexpected surprise.

There was actually a Water-Repelling Pearl; even if it was of ordinary rank, it was still a valuable find.

Pills, talismans, Spiritual Liquid, Spirit Stones, and other unmarked items were all taken; she profited handsomely once again.

Xie Jiuniang threw the Storage Bag back onto Wu Shuangshuang’s body, not carelessly discarding it, worried that someone might pick it up and thus involve the innocent. This is because women like Wu Shuangshuang don’t operate on reason, killing solely based on their mood.

Xie Jiuniang left with the young bear in her arms.

She didn’t leave but called over Little Immortal Crane, flying further inside.

She returned the young bear to the cave where the Crimson Earth Bear lived.

The disciples who were fighting with the Crimson Earth Bear were on the verge of despair, believing they would die there today, but in a sudden twist of fate, as they fought, the two bears abruptly stopped and hurriedly left.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t know that because of her intervention,

The corpses she scavenged for inheritance in her previous life were no longer there.

When she reached the place where she had encountered corpses in her past life, she saw no corpses…

“Is this… are the people not dead yet?”

Xie Jiuniang felt embarrassingly awkward.

Before she came here, she had never considered that the others might still be alive.

What a sin!

Perhaps she had remembered the wrong place?

Xie Jiuniang searched the area for about ten miles around but found no bones. Instead, she stumbled upon several injured Inner Sect Disciples, who were supporting each other, trying to escape the Gully Valley.

Some of them were gravely wounded.

Suddenly, Xie Jiuniang had a stroke of brilliance.

Perhaps the corpse from her past life was one of their group.

The route the people took was not the same as Wu Shuangshuang’s, so they hadn’t encountered Wu Shuangshuang when they left.

Wu Shuangshuang still lay on the ground, ignored by everyone.

As to whether she would encounter danger, Xie Jiuniang hoped she would perish, which would be a way of serving justice. It’s just a pity that it was unlikely; if Wu Shuangshuang’s life were really in danger, the item protecting her would be triggered.

Just as Xie Jiuniang had anticipated,

When Wu Shuangshuang was unconscious, a Demonic Beast arrived and triggered the Defense Jade Token by taking a bite, which formed a protective barrier that repelled the Demonic Beast, while also sheltering Wu Shuangshuang within it. Soon after, in less than half a moment, a Nascent Soul Cultivator arrived and rescued Wu Shuangshuang.

Jian Lingyan reported this event to Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang’s expression was cold.

This was the advantage of being from a major aristocratic family, with many powerful family members ready to come to the rescue in times of danger. At the same time, Xie Jiuniang once again clearly recognized how powerful her enemies were.

In this world, the weak have no right to speak of dignity.

Xie Jiuniang decided to keep a low profile, diligently cultivate, and strengthen herself.

Since she was already in the back mountain, even though there were no small opportunities, she could take the chance to practice and fight demonic beasts to hone her skills. Thus, a shadowy figure appeared in the mountain, holding a broken sword, specifically looking for demonic beasts to pick fights with.

She was only fighting, not killing the beasts.

If she couldn’t win, she would flee and return to harass them after recovering.

She annoyed a group of demonic beasts so much that upon seeing a person with a crane, they would turn and leave.

Jian Lingyan asked in a muffled voice, “Master, why don’t you kill them?”

“They’re not worth many spirit stones. Why kill them?” Xie Jiuniang lied casually.

The sight of the Crimson Earth Bear desperately trying to save its child had stirred some emotions in her.

Today, she did not want to take a life.

Xie Jiuniang would never tell the truth, but instead she teased, “Little Jianjian, I’m now a person with a fortune of millions. I need to look further ahead.”

“Stingy master, I’m lacking.”

“If you’re lacking, you kill. I won’t interfere,” Xie Jiuniang said with an indifferent shrug, “I still have a hundred pounds of jerky in my storage bag that I haven’t dealt with.”

Jian Lingyan’s childish voice rose again, “I need spirit stones!”

“You go dig up some spirit plants and bring them back, I’ll buy them from you,” Xie Jiuniang suggested a way for Jian Lingyan to make money.

Upon hearing this, Jian Lingyan zoomed away.

Xie Jiuniang transmitted a warning, “Avoid humans; if you get discovered, I’ll throw you in a dung pit.”

The broken sword quivered and vanished in a whoosh.

Xie Jiuniang got on her Immortal Crane, ready to head toward the outer area.

She passed by a mountain gully and stone stream.

The clear stream water babbled as it flowed into the pond below.

The setting sun’s afterglow painted a layer of gold on the water’s surface.

The scenery was delightful, a feast for the eyes.

Xie Jiuniang dismounted from the Immortal Crane and stood on a large rock above the pond.

Little Immortal Crane quickly snatched a fish out of the water, ready to show off its catch to Xie Jiuniang—

“Li!”

Suddenly, Little Immortal Crane let out an angry cry.

Xie Jiuniang instantly felt danger, looked up, and saw a large net appearing out of nowhere in the sky, sprawling down towards her and Little Immortal Crane, blocking their escape.

The attacker had come prepared.

They knew she had a Little Immortal Crane and were afraid she might fly away.

Xie Jiuniang grabbed Little Immortal Crane and leaped into the pond below.

Both person and crane plunged into the water.

The net, controlled by someone, shrank to half its size and fell towards her again.

Xie Jiuniang took out an ordinary Water-Repelling Pearl, not using the finest one, because she did not want to make it easy for her opponent.

She had already intended to use the pond water to block the sneak attack from those lurking behind.

She held Little Immortal Crane and swiftly descended to the bottom of the pond.

What she had thought to be a shallow pond, she now realized was surprisingly deep and vast. It was many times larger than the surface of the pond as seen from the shore.

Little Immortal Crane was astounded.

It was its first time experiencing unhindered flight in water, and it was especially excited.

“Little Immortal Crane, fly towards narrow places and use obstacles to block the net,” Xie Jiuniang hurriedly reminded Little Immortal Crane, then looked up at the water’s surface again.

The pond water had already covered the void created by the Water-Repelling Pearl, and the net slowed down by a fraction as it entered the water.

Little Immortal Crane flew towards the crevices at the bottom of the pond.

Xie Jiuniang extended her divine sense to the surface and saw the people who had ambushed her.

It was actually two attendants of Gongsun Yu!

Both were at the ninth level of Qi cultivation and had come to Tianxu Sect with Gongsun Yu.

When Gongsun Yu joined the sect, he entered Qianlong Peak of the Outer Sect without any assessment. These two, however, had genuinely passed the examination to enter, showing that their strength could not be underestimated.

This was a bit troublesome…
