Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery-Chapter 279 - 268 Infeasible Marriage Immigration_1

"Impossible, senior sister,"

Qian Tongyi shook his head

"I've spoken to him no more than five sentences, to speak of intimacy would be too much, it would already be a stroke of incredible luck if he could remember my name"

"Were it true there were no entanglements, it might be possible to force a connection,"

"But, junior brother, with all this blood on me..."

He sighed

It made him recall the mortal from the Xianmen Sect fifteen years ago who could become invisible in front of Qi Practitioners at will and had, in just over a decade, become capable of facing Golden Pill cultivators head-on

Xianmen, Xianmen!

This was what the youths of the Xianmen were like

It was truly despairing

How wondrous it would have been to be born in the Xianmen, to not have to sacrifice everything just for a foundation building achievement

"That path is not viable for you,"

"My father has been unable to break through as well, Xianmen will find this place sooner or later!"

Li Yun's disappointment was written all over her face

Months of accumulated fear of death compelled her to desperately recall any lifeline she could grasp

"Right, there's another Fairy Gate Citizen!"

"He comes from a major power in Xianmen, the Equality Assembly, and surely has the means to request the interference of a significant figure, it's just that he has been reluctant to help before"

Li Yun muttered to herself, stepping into the midst of the Qi Practitioner maids who were frolicking

"Immortal envoy, come and catch me..."

The many maids' faces turned fearful, their smiles quickly disappearing as they carefully dispersed, standing attentively by her side

Liyun Sect, most strict in rules

If there was any offence to a foundation building elder, to be beaten to death on the spot was a matter of course, let alone the fact that the one in front was the granddaughter of an elder ancestor

"You little hussy, caught you, didn't I!"

Gu Shixiong felt he had grasped a presence that was ethereal and refined, his body instinctively shivered, then it promptly vanished as if it had been an illusion

Reaching downward, he touched a pair of jade hands as smooth as condensed milk

"Who is this new girl?"

Gu Shixiong let out a light "eh" of surprise, lifted his own mask, and immediately saw a cold face, a blush flashing by fleetingly

In terms of beauty, she might not be much prettier than the maids who had been carefully selected

But that natural air of superiority and the faint oppressive aura unique to Foundation-building cultivators made one's heart stir with excitement and exhilaration

"Miss Yun!"

Gu Shixiong was overjoyed, holding the jade hand in his arms even tighter: "Does this mean you accept my marriage proposal? Rest assured, once you agree to become my lawful wife,"

"You will definitely become a Fairy Gate Citizen!"

Qian Tongyi felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle, yet his eyes showed an envious look, greatly satisfying a mortal's vanity

"Fairy Gate Citizen, marriage immigration?"

A longing flashed in Li Yun's eyes, full of yearning, yet her knowledge was not comparable to those disciples from inside or outside of the Sect, she spoke softly, "Young Master Gu is joking again, Xianmen does not accept marriage immigration nor does it allow its citizens to bring non-citizen companions to Xianmen's Mother Planet"

"Could it be that Young Master Gu wishes to deceive me in my ignorance and then abandon me afterwards?"

Her gaze shifted

"How could you say such a thing, Miss Yun."

Gu Shixiong gave an awkward smile, "Our Equality Association is lobbying the Citizens' Assembly to open up marriage immigration clauses, and it should be passed within a few years at most, which is just the time for our honeymoon."

A few years?

A sneer flitted across Qian Tongyi's eyes.

This mortal really had no understanding of the concept of time for high-level cultivators; a mere few years wouldn't even suffice for a single closed-door cultivation session for them, let alone bring about such substantial policy changes.

He couldn't even lie properly.

And yet such a person, because he was a citizen of Xianmen Sect, stood above him.

"Ah, Young Master Gu still thinks Yun'er is easy to deceive, huh?"

Li Yun sighed lightly, gently pushing his hand away, and asked earnestly, "Let's not talk about Yun'er's lifelong matter for now, there's only one thing I want to ask, can Young Master Gu tell me the truth?"

"Please speak, Yun'er. I would never deceive you," replied Gu Shixiong, reluctantly letting go of her hand, his expression serious.

"Liyun Sect has already perished."

"The reinforcements or mediation promised by the Equality Association, when will they arrive?"

Li Yun stared at him intently, enunciating each word deliberately.

"Don't worry, they will arrive in just a few days, don't be impatient," Gu Shixiong reassured with a chuckle, "Lobbying the Equality Association takes time, my teacher personally told me that no one will go wrong."

The surroundings turned frosty.

Everyone around, including the maids, lost all traces of smiles and expressions, their eyes emanating terrifying flickers of light.

Silence lingered for a long time.

"Don't act like this..."

Just as Gu Shixiong felt embarrassed and was about to say something to lighten the mood.

"Young Master Gu, do you still think that Yun'er can be bullied, huh?"

"An ant, a mortal, dares to insult me so."

Li Yun's smile faded away as she gently picked up the young man's hand and tenderly, delicately kneaded it.

"Yun'er, don't panic, it will be over soon..." Gu Shixiong said soothingly, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

"Ah!"

His face suddenly contorted in agony, his mouth gaping open to the limit as he let out a scream that echoed to the heavens.

Crack!

The entire left palm, bones protruding, turned into a mush in the pristine jade-like hands!

"You, have you gone mad?"

Gu Shixiong, in excruciating pain, threw a furious punch at her face, furiously roaring, "You native woman, how dare you harm me! I will have you killed, once the people from Xianmen Sect arrive, I will make sure you..."

Crack!

His right fist collided with a Foundation-building cultivator's shield, also turning into a mess of spurs and flesh.

"Native woman."

Li Yun let out a deep sigh, not showing much anger.

"That title is quite apt; I am indeed the daughter of a Small World Sect."

Crack!

Another section of arm bone was crushed by her grasp.

"If only you were someone of high status and power in Xianmen Sect, like the Dari Swordsman, I, the lowly native woman, would bow my head, taking what I wish."

"But..."

Crack!

Following his palm, the ulna shattered, blood, flesh, and bone spurs mixed together, marrow flowing, Gu Shixiong let out a mournful scream, almost passing out from pain but forcibly awakened by magic.

"Spare my life!"

"Please, I beg you, spare me, I will definitely push the Equality Association to take action again!"

Gu Shixiong sobbed uncontrollably, begging endlessly, no longer resembling the lofty image of an Immortal envoy.

"Yet why are you just a mortal, an ant."

"You use your ridiculous wiles to try to deceive a Foundation-building cultivator?"

Seeing this, Li Yun felt no gratification at the prospect of revenge, but instead grew more despairing.

She even wished that this Immortal envoy would show formidable power, reveal his overwhelming trump card, and retaliate against her fiercely.

It would be better than him being all show, pretending to be strong.
