Chapter 577: Targeted

Sheng Bing had been stuck at the peak-stage of the heaven immortal realm for more than one hundred thousand years.

On one hand, she didn’t have natural treasures that could help her advance and on the other, she had an ice marrow physique.

Her physique usually broke out every time she advanced a major realm, and the higher her cultivation was, the higher the danger.

When she advanced to the heaven immortal realm, Sheng Bing was almost frozen to death and it was only after her master took action that she was able to survive.

However, the gulf between the heaven immortal realm and the great immortal realm was countless times larger than the one between the true immortal realm and the heaven immortal realm.

Knowing this, Sheng Bing didn’t dare to advance to the great immortal realm for fear of freezing herself to death.

Unexpectedly, just when she was beginning to despair, she encountered a cultivator with a fire-type physique.

Although Sheng Bing didn’t know the person’s exact physique, she knew it was powerful enough to counteract her ice marrow physique.

’I must bring him back.’ She thought and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan originally though that the double’s physique would lean towards Yin because of his gender.

However, they forgot that a double was a cross between male and female; Yin and Yang.

After the physique completely awakened, Shen Xu sensed that a breakout could go either way.

He would at times experience a cold-fire breakout and at others, he would experience a hot-fire breakout.

Either way, his physique was attractive to ordinary cultivators, let alone those with special physiques.

Thinking this, Shen Xu sighed and his lips curled in a mirthless smile.

"Fellow immortal Sheng should give up this idea. I don’t need a master." The double said and without waiting for the group’s reaction, he and Zhen Yuan began walking towards the city gate.

[I have asked the puppets to meet us at the city gate. They are already waiting.] Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded before speaking.

[She won’t give up.] He said and the double chuckled.

[Then we kill her.] He said with an indifferent expression.

He and Zhen Yuan didn’t kill people needlessly. However, he wouldn’t allow Sheng Bing or anyone else to disrupt their life.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded.

The two arrived at the city gate in an incense stick, and secretly collected the puppets that were hiding under invisibility talismans.

After exiting the city and teleporting ten kilometres away, Shen Xu released four fire pegasus and hitched the carriage to them.

The carriage looked ordinary from the outside.

However, it had countless formations and inscriptions, including space-folding, rebound, and defensive arrays.

At this time, Shen Xu let two level twelve puppets take the reins while he and Zhen entered the carriage.

The carriage had two large rooms.

At a glance, one was a store and had shelves filled with goods including pill bottles, talismans, and others.

As for the other, it was a leisure lounge built above the store.

The lounge had comfortable seats and was open all sides. This way, the two could enjoy the scenery while resting in the lounge.

After the two settled down, Shen Xu gave an order and the carriage began moving.

The immortal realm was not the paradise described in mortal fairy tales.

However, it had considerably more beautiful scenery than the cultivation world and the mortal world.

Seeing the meandering rivers and high mountains, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan felt at ease and their mood improved.

"What wine and snacks do you want?" Shen Xu asked.

"Peach blossom wine." Zhen Yuan said and the double immediately brought it out.

At the same time, he took out several plates of small cakes including osmanthus, peach, and plum cakes.

’This is life.’ Shen Xu thought but a loud bang suddenly broke the serene atmosphere.

Soon after, a scream echoed in the surroundings and Shen Xu smiled with a trace of schadenfreude in his eyes.

"Bastards..., you killed my junior brother." An angry voice resounded.

"Do the fellow immortals need something from us?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the four people who were crowding around their dead companion.

’Ayuan’s rebound formation is not a joke.’ He thought and raised his chin proudly.

"How dare you kill my junior brother? Do you know who my junior brother is?" Someone asked and Shen Xu shook his head.

"I don’t know." He said.

"My junior brother is the young master of Suzhou’s Li family. Do you think the Li family will let you go?"

"Fellow immortals..." Sheng Bing started and quickly continued.

"You may not know but Suzhou’s Li family is one of the most prominent clans in the Lower Heaven. Only my Eastern Immortal Palace can protect you now." She said.

Shen Xu burst into laughter when he heard this.

However, he didn’t want to be entangled with the woman so he quickly regained his composure.

"Fellow immortal Sheng, I advise you to stop coveting what doesn’t belong to you. Take your Fellow disciples and leave." He said and allowed a hint of killing intent to leak from his body.

"You...." Sheng Bing shouted.

Sheng Bing had always been the one who rejected others, and had never experienced the feeling of rejection.

However, even though the other person treated her like a nuisance and didn’t want to get close to her, Sheng Bing didn’t plan to give up.

After all, she didn’t know when she would encounter another fire-element physique if she lost this one.

"I wanted to be reasonable but you don’t know what’s good for you." She said and unsheathed her sword.

Shen Xu shook his head when he saw this.

’There is a way to heaven hut she insists on breaking into hell. She is hopeless!’ He thought and watched as the four disciples of the Eastern Immortal Palace rushed towards the carriage.

"Leave it to me." Zhen Yuan said and swung his law scripting brush.

Instantaneously, four golden runes flew towards the four, and soon drilled into their bodies.
