The Ghost Immortal was one of his best men, not to mention he spent too much on him to let him reach that level. He had planned on getting him to become his right-hand man. It was totally reasonable to be angry after finding out his underling had died, in some backwaters of the Lower Realm, no less.
To Immortal Lord Leng Ming, Jiang Yuchan had a hand in it. This was beyond any shadow of a doubt. She had the status and the means, so killing him down there could not be easier.
His anger did not get to Jiang Yuchan, only earning a pitying look from her. [You must be out of your mind to get on Senior’s bad side and insist on continuing. Death welcomes you.]
Her reply was flat. “Immortal Lord Leng Ming, and if I don’t? What will you do?”
The Jiang Clan was number one in the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain, beyond these two Immortal Lords’ reach. Leng Ming glared at her with sharp eyes.
“Brother, don’t be rash. For Fairy Yuchan to say she was uninvolved, then that must be the case. Let her go.” Immortal Lord Shen Wu advised, his dead gaze hiding his thoughts.
Jiang Yuchan shot away without awaiting permission.
What about giving the two obstinate Immortal Lords a reminder? It had nothing to do with her to begin with. They could die for all she cared.
Leng Ming spoke gravely. “Brother, why let her go? She’s the only one in the Lower Realm who could’ve killed him!”
Leng Ming had complete confidence in his Ghost Immortal.
“Brother, we can’t touch her, even if she did kill him. We only came to try and get something out of her, and since that didn’t work, we have no choice but to let her go, on account of the Jiang Clan.”
Leng Ming paused before saying. “Brother Shen Wu, what do we do now?”
“That filth from the Lower Realm got away this time, but he’ll die in the end!”
“That filth is an Immortal Slayer. Not even an Immortal Warrior can kill him.”
Shen Wu sneered, “Immortal Lord Leng Ming, the Ninth Prince is laying down arms and re-cultivating. I find the Nine Province Continent to be the perfect choice for him.”
Leng Ming gasped. “You mean…”
Shen Wu nodded, standing tall with a distant gaze like a sage. “Brother, the golden age is chaos. With Black Tortoise lacking a ruler, the Ninth Prince bears the Tyrant Demon Body and possess incredible power. Backed by the Fang Clan, he has his whole future ahead of him. He would make for a wise candidate.”
“I am aware the Ninth Prince in particular had the potential to become our Domain Lord. But isn’t it too late?” Leng Ming frowned.
Shen Wu mocked, “True, looking at the other eight princes, the Ninth Prince would go to the Lower Realm somewhat late. But does it matter? The Black Tortoise Immortal Domain Lord shall be none other than the Ninth Prince!”
Leng Ming winced as he recalled something as he looked at his Brother’s confident gaze. “Brother…”
Shen Wu nodded, cutting him off.
“Yes, the other princes had left the army to settle, but the Ninth Prince had received the Domain Stele’s approval already. He just needs to re-cultivate and then return to the Immortal Domain to grasp it. For this reason, I chose the Nine Earths. It will fit the Ninth Prince’s re-cultivation perfectly. That bug is nothing to him.”
It was forbidden for Immortals to descend; that was common knowledge. But, in everything, there were always loopholes.
In the case of a prince or princess descending to the Lower Realm to re-cultivate themselves, they were allowed to bring guards no stronger than a Celestial Immortal.
Their purpose was to keep the royalties from being killed off.
What interested Shen Wu more, however, was that the Principles of the Nine Province Continent would not interfere with the guarding Immortal so long as he did not specifically go against them.
This was the Immortal Decree.
Shen Wu was of the firm belief that using this to dispose of some nobody in the Lower Realm would be a done deal.
But that was not his goal.
That bug was nothing compared to the safety of the Ninth Prince.
Once the Ninth Prince became the Domain Lord, he would become the prince’s Dao Protector. His future would be set, filled with untold riches!
Becoming a Celestial Immortal would no longer be a dream!
Shen Wu’s gaze burned with hot ambition.
