Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 359 - 182: The Night Is Dark, the Wind Is Cold, and All Is Still

Chapter 359: Chapter 182: The Night Is Dark, the Wind Is Cold, and All Is Still

In an extremely simple cave.

Xu Guang stood at the entrance, gazing at the sky for a long time without movement.

Tonight’s stars are indeed beautiful.

It is said that a dark and windy night is optimal for murder, but this weather is not quite suitable for killing.

The Qi Force belonging to the Profound within him moved slowly as his thoughts passed.

Inside and outside the cave, there was only Xu Guang.

Ah Wei was nowhere to be seen, but the earth faintly trembled.

"I wonder if Li Qian can lure Nan Xuan here."

Liu Ruyan looked at the young Xu Guang in front of her with a complex gaze. She didn’t know what Xu Guang brought her here for.

She already knew Xu Guang’s goal: to ambush a Profound Expert who had practiced for many years. The person had broken through to the Fourth Grade only a month ago. What exactly gave him the courage to perform such a reckless action?

Xu Guang, however, looked at her and spoke gently, "I’ve been thinking about how exactly to deal with you. Initially, I planned to sell you to the people of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, but thinking it over, they would probably not truly become enemies with the Liu Clan. Besides, you know quite a few secrets..."

Liu Ruyan was silent, simply looking at Xu Guang with eyes of still water, accustomed to the solitary prison life of more than half a year, feeling she could endure certain tedium.

If she could escape, her cultivation would undoubtedly greatly progress.

The influence of experiences and encounters on martial arts is self-evident.

"Today I will kill Nan Xuan. If I die, you’ll die with me. If I survive, you will serve me for ten years. How about that?"

Liu Ruyan sneered, "Do you think I have the ability to refuse?"

Xu Guang smiled, "Certainly not."

Liu Ruyan is a very cunning woman with keen insights into political battles and strategies.

Even if he kills Nan Xuan and becomes the Master of the Dragon Gate, fully controlling it is not a simple task. He needs someone akin to a chief manager.

Liu Ruyan, with her love for political machinations, is suitable for this.

It can be considered a way of making use of discarded material.

...

Li Qian left the city, frantically fleeing towards the agreed meeting place with Xu Guang. He was unsure whether he could lure Nan Xuan out today, but it was his only hope.

Killing Nan Xuan would grant him a lengthy respite in Zouchuan Dao.

This was for his own life.

He dared not delay, not even stopping with Du Jing. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

At such a critical juncture, he did not trust Du Jing.

Especially when Xu Guang had killed the most talented three members of the Du Family.

Between the Du Family and Xu Guang, he made the choice effortlessly, needing little consideration on whom to choose or abandon.

Under the night sky, he already saw many people rushing towards him.

Now, with the conflict between the Barbarians and the Jiang Family, during such a sensitive time, especially regarding the Dragon Gate, a sensitive Sect, a boy seemingly fleeing the Chuanbei Prefecture had attracted the attention of onlookers guarding the Prefecture.

Li Qian felt a subtle worry.

When people worry most, the worst often happens.

From afar, he already saw several figures rushing towards him.

At the front was an elderly man and woman, followed by four or five muscular men.

"Young brother, rushing so hurriedly, did you obtain some crucial intelligence from the Dragon Gate? How about sharing it with this old man?"

Li Qian struck out with a palm.

"Scram!"

Bearing many exceptional skills, especially the Imperial Secret Technique, he could unleash an immensely strong force momentarily. At this time, he couldn’t care about the consequences.

The only thought was to rush to where Xu Guang was.

The Palm Seal expanded dramatically mid-air, then transformed into a huge form several meters wide, striking the ground and shaking all around!

In the silent night, it resonated far.

The few exchanged glances, eyes full of amazement.

Clearly, the young man’s prowess had not reached Fifth Grade, but such an explosive force...

Almost instinctively, they decided to chase!

...

In the Chuanbei Prefecture.

Han Sandao looked gratefully at You Chen, as if thankful for a life-saving grace.

You Chen remained expressionless, like a walking corpse.

Han Sandao was accustomed to You Chen’s demeanor. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly opened up.

"Elder You, do you know about the Sect Leader being replaced by Nan Xuan?"

You Chen’s face remained unmoved.

"That’s a rumor."

Han Sandao shook his head, "It’s not a rumor. Three years ago, the Sect Leader... no, Nan Xuan approached me, wanting me to work for him. Gradually, I discovered some of his secrets. He’s looking for descendants of the Great Zhou Royal Family..."

"Shut up!"

You Chen rudely interrupted Han Sandao.

He looked at Han Sandao with a cold gaze.

"Your loose mouth nearly got you killed. Do you still want to blabber in front of this old man?"

Han Sandao remained unafraid, staring back firmly at You Chen.

"I know someone is cultivating the Dragon Gate True Skill and forming a Sacred Body, capable of being our Master of the Dragon Gate!"

He dared not leave out details, aware that this old man could really kill, and quickly spilled the information.

You Chen suddenly looked at Han Sandao, lips trembling slightly, "What you said... is it true?"

Han Sandao knelt immediately, "I am willing to make a Heart Demon Vow!"

You Chen fell into a peculiar emotion, as if the years of torment finally found relief at this moment.

"Who... is that person!?"

Han Sandao looked up forcefully, "The former Jiufeng Mountain outcast, Xu Guang!"

Xu Guang wanted to become the Master of the Dragon Gate, and it wasn’t up to Li Qian, even though his influence could sway two out of the six Fourth-Grade Profound Experts in the Dragon Gate, it wasn’t enough.

There had to be at least three who agreed for Xu Guang to truly have a chance to become the Master of the Dragon Gate.
