Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 402 - 197: Ah Wei Reaches Fourth Grade, Ascension to Heaven Finally Achieved

Chapter 402: Chapter 197: Ah Wei Reaches Fourth Grade, Ascension to Heaven Finally Achieved

Evening was drawing near.

The rays of the setting sun cast down from the sky, projecting the dark shadow of the great city, resembling a gigantic Great Beast.

Inside the quiet house.

Xu Guang put down his chopsticks and casually raised his cup in response.

He didn’t say any polite words, just quietly watched Zhao Chen.

"Hah..."

Zhao Chen drank it all in one gulp, letting out a long breath.

He hadn’t expected that the young man he met years ago in the mountains outside Qingshuo County would now be the Master of the Dragon Gate. Although he and Xu Guang had exchanged names back then, there are too many people with the same name in the world, who could confirm that this Xu Guang was indeed that Xu Guang.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Xu."

Regardless, Xu Guang avenged him. Although Unrivaled Sword Sect was small, it was still his second, third, and fourth home. Despite having many homes, he cherished each one greatly.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Having met an old friend, coupled with a fruitful experience in the Ghostly Land, Xu Guang shared a drink with Zhao Chen. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The matter of Tie Kuang brought many thoughts to his mind. Some old friends, perhaps after one meeting, would never be seen again in this lifetime.

Aside from cultivation, perhaps he should pause and quietly look at those old friends he might never meet again.

Zhao Chen chuckled softly, "I heard that the Dragon Gate offers elixirs as a bounty for Barbarian heads?"

"I plan to become a Hunter of Barbarians from today, specializing in killing Barbarian Dogs. Once the Barbarians of Zouchuan Dao are quelled, I’ll go to Iron Dragon Pass. One day, I’ll kill all the Barbarian Dogs in the world!"

Xu Guang nodded with a smile and raised his cup to welcome, "Brother Zhao is even more formidable than back in the day."

...

The next day, Zhao Chen walked away with his sword.

Standing under the morning sun, Xu Guang quietly gazed at the distant scenery.

"There’s something I want to ask you, has your forehead always been so prominent?"

Xu Guang turned around and looked at Shao Yu.

This outstanding disciple of the Taiyi Alliance.

Shao Yu was at a loss for words.

He wanted to refute, but considering the identity of the person before him.

"It’s been like this since childhood."

"Then you must have been very smart from a young age."

Shao Yu: ...

It feels like this isn’t a good thing to say.

"When is Zhang Yunheng coming over? His extravagance is increasing, making me wait for him."

He hadn’t returned yet, because it seemed the Taiyi Alliance had something going on, and Zhang Yunheng needed Xu Guang’s assistance with some matters.

As his words fell.

Zhang Yunheng’s figure shattered the morning light, approaching from afar.

The two entered a room, sitting across from each other.

"There’s been some disturbance over at the Ten Thousand People Pit Blue Mountain. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Xu Guang shook his head, "Recently, I have many orders for alchemy and don’t have the time."

Zhang Yunheng looked at Xu Guang with envy, "I really envy Sect Leader Xu."

"Speak freely, what’s the matter?"

Zhang Yunheng’s expression turned a bit serious, shaking his head, "It’s about Elder Jin of Jiufeng Mountain. The Shadow Soldiers at the Mass Grave are increasing, seemingly spawning some unimaginable Fierce Ghost. However, that Fierce Ghost seems attracted by something on Lanshan, and the Shadow Soldiers are now heavily besieging Lanshan. This matter needs to be investigated clearly, or if the Shadow Soldiers once emerge, the consequences will be dire."

Concerning Lanshan, Xu Guang hesitated.

His Martial Artist Profession’s Extraordinary Medium still had no leads, and currently, among the professions with the potential to be extraordinary, the Martial Artist’s path seemed clearest.

He indeed had the intention to go up to Lanshan again.

"Are you planning to take advantage of the Shadow Soldiers’ invasion of Lanshan to sneak up together?"

Zhang Yunheng’s smile carried some embarrassment, yet he spoke with righteousness, "As Martial Artists, we hear the Way in the morning and can die in the evening; with Sect Leader Xu’s astonishing combat prowess accompanying us, our odds of success greatly increase."

In that place of Lanshan, who knows what strange occurrences might transpire, even Fourth-Grade Experts had no absolute guarantee, seeking Xu Guang, this formidable expert within Fourth Grade.

"Your major sects all have Third Grade Experts, why not send them?"

Zhang Yunheng sighed bitterly, "It’s related to the Void Realm. Third Grade Experts would face inexplicable attacks within Lanshan, just like your old Sect Leader from Jiufeng Mountain almost met his demise because of it."

Xu Guang furrowed his brows, "I’ll make time after May, I’m really swamped at the moment."

With the second day of the second lunar month approaching, and Ah Wei about to break through to Fourth Grade, he couldn’t leave temporarily; moreover, considering the magnitude of Ah Wei, the breakthrough duration was uncertain, requiring him to reserve a long time.

...

Chuanbei Prefecture.

Liu Ruyan was excelling in governing Chuanbei Prefecture; over half a year had passed.

The city had reinstated some of its former systems, establishing four major departments to jointly govern Chuanbei Prefecture.

Within a silent office, a blood-drenched figure burst in with extreme anxiety.

"There’s a demon in my house, a demon!"

Shen Xuan, originating from the Dragon Gate, now working within one of Chuanbei Prefecture’s departments, his cultivation wasn’t high, merely handling minor neighborhood matters, was familiar with all the residents living nearby.

He recognized the man opposite him as the third young master of the Niu Mansion.

"What’s happening? Speak truthfully."

Several Dragon Gate Disciples, previously sleeping in the office, were now keenly aware of the smell of merit in the air, focused intently on the present Niu San.

"My stepmother was eaten by a demon, that demon wearing her skin pretended to be my stepmother, and my father didn’t believe me. Today, I killed my stepmother, but when I returned home, that demon wasn’t dead, still alive and well!"

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Let’s go!"

Moments later.

Before entering the Niu Mansion, they already smelled the overwhelmingly potent scent of blood inside, practically tangible; a veteran disciple’s eyes flickered in shock.

This aura...

It’s akin to the Ghostly Land in many ways.

Could there truly be a demon?

A streak of firelight emerged from the Niu Mansion, and in an instant, flames soared high.

Shen Xuan’s sharp eyes spotted a black shadow darting through the firelight.

He brandished his spear in pursuit.

Seeing this, everyone drew their swords.

...

Beside the waterfall.

Xu Guang quietly listened to You Chen talk about recent occurrences of demon rampages in Chuanbei Prefecture.
