A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

"Do you see how powerful your mother's bloodline is now, little girl? It's a pity that you weren't able to inherit it. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind keeping you alive a little longer so I can suck the bloodline out of your body as well," Du Qingyang chortled as he raised his head from Chen Yang's shoulder.

Right at this moment, a fierce look flashed through Chen Yang's eyes, and he suddenly raised his right arm before plunging his hand toward Du Qingyang's body like a sharp dagger.

All of the two dozen or so profound acupoints on his arms were glowing as radiantly as the sun, and they were also giving off bursts of scorching heat.

A meaty thud rang out as the skin on Du Qingyang's abdomen was breached, but just like Gu Qianxun's bone sword, Chen Yang's right hand was only able to embed itself slightly into Du Qingyang's body before being stopped cold in its tracks.

Du Qingyang took a glance down at the wound on his midsection, then harrumphed coldly, "You really don't know when to give up, do you?"

However, right at this moment, a resounding explosion rang out as Chen Yang detonated his own right arm, blowing a large hole into Du Qingyang's body.

Du Qingyang let loose an agonized roar as a torrent of blood came gushing out of his mouth, yet he still chomped down at Chen Yang once again with a furious look on his face.

It seemed that he was no longer able to suppress his own internal injuries, and the rainbow scales on his body were flickering in an unsteady fashion, as if they could fade away at any moment.

A panicked look appeared on Chen Yang's face, and all he could do was raise his remaining left arm in a futile effort to defend himself.

All of a sudden, a blurry figure shot forth from afar, and close to twenty profound acupoints lit up over their arms as they slammed their fists down onto Gu Qianxun's bone sword, which was still lodged into the side of Du Qingyang's face.

Gu Qianxun's arms immediately went numb from the force of the blow, and the bone sword slipped out of her grasp, while she was sent flying back through the air.

This additional injection of force was sufficient for the bone sword to slice the rest of the way through Du Qingyang's skull, and his head came tumbling down from his shoulders before falling onto the ground with a dull thump.

Immediately thereafter, the bone sword was plunged into his dantian to destroy the nascent soul inside.

Chen Yang was completely rooted to the spot with a shocked look on his face, and his entire upper body was drenched in blood as he continued to stand in a daze with his left arm raised above him.

All of this had unfolded far too abruptly, and Gu Qianxun was also stunned by what she had just witnessed.

After a brief moment of stunned inactivity, she turned to the figure to discover that it was none other than Li Feiyu, the man that all of them had already forgotten about and had left for dead!

What was even more astonishing to her was that there were currently seventy-two profound acupoints on his body.

Aside from the fifty-four profound acupoints that he had cultivated using his Great Universe Origin Arts and his Wingform Ascension Arts, eighteen new profound acupoints had appeared on his arms.

After taking a closer look at the positions of the profound acupoints on Han Li's arms, an incredulous look appeared on Gu Qianxun's face as he exclaimed, "Those are the profound acupoints of the Titan Vajra Arts! How is that possible?"

They had only exchanged cultivation arts recently, so how was it possible that he had already mastered the Titan Vajra Arts? Could it have been thanks to the Sinha Blood Array?

A hesitant look appeared on Gu Qianxun's face, and she wasn't sure of how to proceed.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang had finally snapped back to his senses as well.

Du Qingyang was already dead, so he was naturally no longer able to bind Chen Yang any longer. As soon as Chen Yang rose to his feet, Du Qingyang's headless body immediately fell to the ground.

The three of them took a glance at one another, and a tense silence ensued, with none of them making a move.

Somehow, under some very unlikely circumstances, they had worked together to kill Du Qingyang.

Moments later, Han Li made the first move, taking a step back to distance himself from the other two slightly as he said, "If it's possible, I'd like to avoid having to battle the two of you."

Chen Yang and Gu Qianxun also each took a step back with apprehensive looks on their faces, and the latter said, "My thoughts exactly, Fellow Daoist Li."

"Whether we intended it or not, we only survived because we worked together, so let's end the bloodshed here," Chen Yang said as he forced a smile onto his own face.

After that, he pulled out a black stone box, then tipped out a crimson pill that he devoured.

A burst of white light immediately emerged from his right shoulder, and countless muscle fibers began to regenerate rapidly within the white light. In the blink of an eye, a brand new arm had taken shape, except it was still looking quite weak and tender.

Chen Yang then pulled out a piece of beast hide to wrap up his new arm, while Han Li wiped the blood from his face before asking, "Would anyone care to explain to me what happened here?"

"Is it not obvious enough, Fellow Daoist Li? Captain Chen Yang... No, City Lord Chen Yang and I worked together to hatch this plot against Du Qingyang, but in the end, we couldn't have done it without you, Fellow Daoist Li," Gu Qianxun replied with a smile.

"Does that mean that vial of red liquid was left for me by the two of you as well?" Han Li asked.

Up to this point, the situation had become quite clear to Han Li. Gu Qianxun was seeking vengeance, while Chen Yang desired the position of city lord, so the two of them had worked together to eliminate Du Qingyang.

In a massive stroke of fortune, Han Li had been swept up into their plot and absorbed the starpower and bloodline power of Du Qingyang and the captains, thereby significantly enhancing his physical prowess.

"That was indeed me, but rest assured, that was just a vial of blood from a Wild Blood Scaled Rat, and its only effect is to make one's bloodline more violent. Aside from that, it has no negative effects," Gu Qianxun said in an apologetic manner.

"No negative effects? Is that right?" Han Li asked, clearly unconvinced.

"If you insist on blaming me for this, then I have no defense for my actions. Indeed, my objective for getting you to drink this blood was so that it would inflict backlash upon Du Qingyang, and I never considered what would become of you," Gu Qianxun admitted in a candid fashion.

"I owe you an apology, Fellow Daoist Li," Chen Yang said as he extended a respectful salute. "If I hadn't invited you to come to Green Goat City, then you would've never been targeted by Du Qingyang for your true spirit bloodlines, and you wouldn't have been swept up in this mess."

"It's fine. At this point, there's no point in discussing such matters," Han Li replied with a faint smile.

Of course, he didn't believe Chen Yang and Gu Qianxun at all. However, at the time, the two of them would've only considered him to be a pawn, so there was no reason for them to be concerned for his wellbeing.

As for why their attitude toward him had suddenly changed, that was only because they were unable to glean his true power, so they were feeling wary of him.

"Your magnanimity is truly admirable, Brother Li," Gu Qianxun said with a smile.

"Now that your plot has been successfully carried out, there's no need for me to stay here any longer, so I'll be taking my leave now," Han Li said as he cupped his fist in a parting salute.

At the moment, the threat of the Black Tribulation Centipede was still hanging over his head, so he had to find the Black Tribulation Stone as soon as possible.

"Hold on a second, Brother Li. Even though Du Qingyang and his most trusted captains are dead, he still has many remaining subordinates, and if we can't completely control them, then we could still find ourselves in some peril. My right arm is essentially disabled for the immediate future, so I have a request for you," Chen Yang hurriedly said.

"You want me to help you solidify your position as city lord?" Han Li asked.

"That's right. Only now have I come to realize just how powerful you are, Fellow Daoist Li. Hence, I would like to invite you to join my alliance with Fellow Daoist Gu. Once we claim Green Goat City together, not only will we no longer have to fear for our safety, we'll also have a stable source of beast cores to support our future cultivation," Chen Yang replied with a nod.

Han Li contemplated the proposal momentarily, then said, "I can help you, but I have two conditions that you must accept. Otherwise, our discussion can end here."

Chen Yang's brows furrowed ever so slightly upon hearing this, but he still prompted, "Go ahead, Fellow Daoist Li."

"The Black Tribulation Centipede in my body has to be removed, and on top of that, you also have to release Shi Kong and Daoist Xie," Han Li said.

"I want to help you, Fellow Daoist Li, but the problem is that these Black Tribulation Centipedes were personally refined by Du Qingyang, so I don't know how to get rid of them. Having said that, Du Qingyang has always had a very tightly guarded secret vault. Perhaps there's something in there that can help you get rid of the Black Tribulation Centipede in your body," Chen Yang said.

"Alright, then let's go and take a look in the vault now," Han Li replied with a nod.

"Regarding Fellow Daoist Shi Kong, for some reason, he was sent to Profound City by Du Qingyang not long after the three of you arrived here, and I haven't heard anything about him since.

“As for Daoist Xie, I've only been using him as a servant this entire time, and I'd say we've coexisted alongside each other quite harmoniously. If he's willing to return to your side, then I naturally won't refuse," Chen Yang said as he turned his gaze to Daoist Xie.

Han Li also turned to Daoist Xie, but the latter remained standing on the spot in a completely still fashion, as if he hadn't even heard the conversation unfolding right beside him.

Han Li's heart sank slightly upon seeing this, but he didn't say anything further, and the rather tense and awkward silence descended upon everyone.

In the end, it was Gu Qianxun who broke the silence.

"Let's discuss these matters some other time. How about we go to this secret vault first to find a way to remove the threat of the Black Tribulation Centipede?"

"I can take us there, but prior to that, let's clean up this place and ourselves first," Chen Yang said as he took a glance at the surrounding area.
