The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 67 - Today I Didnt Intend to Kill

The other was called Gongsun Can.

He was Gongsun Yu’s lackey, often scheming and killing people. At this moment, he looked at the water surface with a sinister tone, “The little girl has the master’s Water-Repelling Pearl, she can hide under the water for a long time.”

Gongsun Na said emotionlessly, “I’ll go down and deal with her.”

“Okay, I’ll stay on shore to prevent her from escaping.”

Both had witnessed Little Immortal Crane’s speed; they were determined to cut off all of Xie Jiuniang’s escape routes.

At the bottom of the pond, Gongsun Na chased after them relentlessly with the Magic Artifact net, giving the human and crane no chance to catch their breath.

Suddenly, Little Immortal Crane led her towards a small cave entrance.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes widened.

What is this place?

Inside, she tried to use her Divine Sense to look outside but was blocked by the walls. Only through the entrance could she extend her Divine Sense.

Outside, there was a thunderous boom.

The large net landed above the entrance, but it was blocked outside, causing a large amount of rocks and mud to fall, instantly turning the surrounding water murky.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t care about the outside.

There was something strange about the cave; it wasn’t very big, about the size of a bedroom. The only thing visible was the entrance through which they had come.

The entrance was now blocked by the fallen net.

Xie Jiuniang sighed, “Little Immortal Crane, it seems we have been trapped like turtles in a jar.”

Little Immortal Crane retracted its neck, aware that it had caused trouble.

Xie Jiuniang, on the other hand, was unfazed and calmly took out a seventh-order Defense Array Plate, placing five Superior Spirit Stones into its slots.

She then put the Water-Repelling Pearl into a brocaded pouch and tied it with a thin rope around Little Immortal Crane’s neck.

Little Immortal Crane was puzzled.

Xie Jiuniang patted its head lightly and cautioned, “Stay here and don’t go out. I will deal with the enemies outside and then come back for you.”

“Li?” Little Immortal Crane was confused.

“I will come back soon,” she reassured.

Initially, Xie Jiuniang thought the opponent only wanted to capture her, which made her hesitant to flee or to fight back. Now that she knew they were there to kill her, she didn’t hesitate anymore.

Murder was something she disliked.

But when faced with the choice of kill or be killed, she had no choice but to act, regardless of her dislike.

Xie Jiuniang closed her eyes and reached out to Jian Lingyan…

On the shore, Gongsun Can sat leisurely by the pond, on the very rock Xie Jiuniang had been standing on before. The idea of failing to kill a seventh-layer Qi Cultivation girl had never crossed his mind.

It was said that the Tianshui Secret Realm was about to open, and the chosen one, Xie Ying, was looking for a Water-Repelling Pearl. Gongsun Yu wanted to regain the top-grade pearl and took this opportunity to connect with Xie Ying. When he learned that Xie Jiuniang had left the Sect, he immediately sent two people after her.

After some discussion, they decided to go all out—kill and plunder, and then cover their tracks.

At the end of the day, it was all about the temptation of wealth.

They coveted Xie Jiuniang’s substantial fortune.

Just as Gongsun Can was pondering how to divide Xie Jiuniang’s belongings, a Broken Sword pierced straight through his heart from behind.

In an instant, Gongsun Can was dead.

His body tumbled into the stream, and blood spread through the water, tinting a large area red.

Immediately following that, another streak of sword light flashed, and the storage bag hanging from the corpse’s waist was gone…

Beneath the pool, Xie Jiu’niang had already faced off with Gongsun Na.

It was Xie Jiu’niang who took the initiative to step out of the cave, leave the seventh-step defensive formation, and pull out a premium Water-Repelling Pearl, creating a waterless space.

The bottom of the pool was a complete mess.

Xie Jiu’niang fought with techniques.

With the experience from a previous life, even without much practice after her rebirth, she could still use the gold, fire, and wood attack techniques to perfection, disrupting Gongsun Na’s rhythm in an instant.

Xie Jiu’niang, relying solely on her own strength, was an even match for Gongsun Na without any external assistance.

Gongsun Na was inwardly startled.

Wasn’t it said that she was only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation?

How come her spiritual power is even more profound than his at the ninth level?

“You hid your cultivation base?” Gongsun Na immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

Xie Jiu’niang sneered coldly, “So what if I hid it? A bunch of bugs from the gutter.”

The Broken Sword took care of the hidden danger on the shore, greatly relieving Xie Jiu’niang—her biggest fear was killing one while another escaped.

Therefore, Xie Jiu’niang held nothing back.

Gongsun Na manipulated the net-like magic artifact, about to unleash a powerful move, when suddenly, a broken sword fell from the sky, slicing through the net like a streak of light, splitting it in two in an instant.

The contract with the magic artifact was destroyed, and Gongsun Na’s divine sense suffered along with it.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Jiu’niang’s hand flashed with a sharp Bone Knife, slashing across Gongsun Na’s throat.

Blood sprayed.

Pop!

Gongsun Na fell to the ground, his breath cut short.

Xie Jiu’niang looked indifferently at the corpse on the ground, murmuring, “I didn’t really want to kill anyone today…”

“Dog owner, stop with the pretense.”

The Broken Sword circled around her, as if saying it saw right through her.

Xie Jiu’niang’s eyes were fierce as she clenched her teeth, “Little Jianjian, say that again and I’ll cut your share.”

She was quite into the act, but with the Sword Spirit’s interruption, the mood was lost, and she began to shamelessly loot the spoils of war.

The person and the sword collected everything valuable from the two, then started to divide the loot, sharing only the spirit stones.

The master gets seventy percent, and the Broken Sword gets thirty percent.

Don’t talk about fairness—the master is the client, the client is in charge, no objections allowed. Object and you get nothing of the thirty percent.

The body of Gongsun Can from above had already fallen into the pool with the current.

Xie Jiu’niang placed the two corpses together, setting a fire at the bottom of the pool. When she leaves, she would take the Water-Repelling Pearl with her, and the water would submerge this place, leaving not a single trace behind.

Truly a fitting place for destroying evidence.

Xie Jiu’niang went back to the little cave and collected the seventh-step Array Plate. The consumption wasn’t significant, only a single Superior Spirit Stone was used.

The Little Immortal Crane, seeing Xie Jiu’niang unharmed, happily circled around her.

Xie Jiu’niang, thinking about the great effort it had put in today, gave it the Qi Nourishing Pills and Spirit-Gathering Pills she had looted from those two.

If she and Little Jianjian ate meat, she had to give the Little Immortal Crane some soup.

In the future, they might rely on the Little Immortal Crane to escape.

By killing the two from the Gongsun Family, there may be trouble to follow.

Gongsun Yu taking action against her meant that he had given up any doubts he had about her.

It was both good and bad.

With doubts, he dared not act; without doubts, there was no need for caution. If this assassination attempt failed, knowing Gongsun Yu’s character, he surely wouldn’t let it go.

Such a hassle!

How should she deal with Gongsun Yu?

The worst thing is killing the minor ones and then luring the major ones… so, she couldn’t take action herself.

Forget it, stay the course for now.

She’ll wait until the opportunity arises to kill him.
