Chapter 671: Chapter 333: A World in the Sky?

Jiang Shouzhong ignored Su Junwen’s soul.

He looked down coldly at General He, whose face was stained with blood, and asked:

"I want to know, why did you capture me? Why bring so few people? And if you knew my identity earlier, why didn’t you act within Minzhou City itself?"

Jiang Shouzhong was still somewhat puzzled.

He had assumed it was because his wanted status had been exposed, but now it didn’t seem like it.

Having just witnessed the terrifying scene of Jiang Shouzhong transforming into a spider and killing so mercilessly, General He looked at him as though facing a demon. Not daring to hold back, he stammered:

"It’s... it’s the Immortal Master who ordered us to capture these two girls. He intends to use them as Tool Girls."

A strange expression crossed Jiang Shouzhong’s face.

So after all this, it was trouble caused by the women around him.

Thinking back to the scene in the city, where the soldiers insisted on searching their carriage, Jiang Shouzhong let out a wry laugh, shook his head helplessly, and continued to ask: "Who is this Immortal Master?"

General He replied, "He came to Minzhou City ten years ago. First, he controlled the Magistrate and other officials of all ranks, then coerced and threatened us into joining him."

At this point, a flicker of hesitation crossed General He’s eyes, and he added:

"I don’t know his origins, but I know he’s fanatically into Dual Cultivation, with cultivation levels unfathomable. He has two highly skilled female attendants, Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang, as well as someone called ’You Ying.’

This time, to capture you, the Immortal Master sent You Ying to assist us. But that guy never showed up..."

Hatred surfaced on General He’s face.

For You Ying’s failure to show, General He was full of resentment.

What he didn’t know was that You Ying was already dead.

Hearing there was another powerful arrival, Jiang Shouzhong felt a hint of alarm, instinctively worrying about Dugu Luoxue. But upon considering her cultivation strength, he temporarily set his mind at ease.

He fixed his gaze on General He and asked, "You’re saying that Immortal Master controlled all Minzhou officials within just a year? How did the court fail to notice?"

General He hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, he decided to answer truthfully: "Actually, before the Immortal Master arrived, Minzhou was already planning a rebellion.

You might not be aware of Minzhou’s situation—years ago, several uprisings occurred here. Although the court repeatedly suppressed them, many shadowy forces continued to lurk.

Ultimately, most of Minzhou’s populace harbors resentment toward the court, and this kind of fire isn’t easily extinguished."

General He paused briefly before continuing:

"The Immortal Master has incredible methods; I don’t know what magic he employed, but he united many of Minzhou’s shadowy factions. Except for the Mandala Gang, essentially all of Minzhou City is under his control.

Of course, he left the Mandala Gang alone because that gang has ties to the Luo Family in the Capital.

The Immortal Master allows the Mandala Gang to run rampant in Minzhou, diverting the court’s attention. Even if the court sends people, the Mandala Gang intercepts them first..."

Listening to General He’s account, Jiang Shouzhong was secretly astonished.

This Immortal Master was truly formidable.

But was the court really so blind to Minzhou’s hidden dangers?

Recalling Emperor Zhou Chang’s ruthless measures against Qingzhou, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but harbor suspicions that the ruler might have some hidden agenda for Minzhou too. Likely, Minzhou would eventually share Qingzhou’s fate.

"If this Immortal Master is so powerful, why didn’t he capture us directly in the city?"

Jiang Shouzhong inquired.

General He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don’t know the reason either. Perhaps it’s because the lady by your side has high cultivation, and any commotion would draw the court’s attention, so he planned an ambush midway."

That reason was quite flimsy.

Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his chin, pondering for a while, and muttered: "If I were that Immortal Master, I wouldn’t make it so complicated. Most likely, the Immortal Master can’t take action personally."

Jiang Shouzhong pressed for more details about Minzhou and other matters.

General He answered honestly until he had nothing left to offer. Jiang Shouzhong then ended his life.

Now that they were openly rebelling, killing a general made little difference.

Jiang Shouzhong gazed in the direction of Minzhou, his eyes flickering with cold intent.

Daring to target his women, this damned Immortal Master must have a death wish.

He hesitated, debating whether to return to Minzhou and castrate the depraved old lecher before feeding him to the dogs.

But reasoning prevailed—this Immortal Master’s ability to control an entire city alone signified terrifying strength.

Even if he allied with Yelü Miaomiao, Qu Hongling, and Master Luoxue, it was uncertain whether they could defeat him. They might very well walk into a trap.

Forget it; better to go to Zhenxuan Mountain, meet Yan Changqing, retrieve his Taoist River Map, and settle the score later.

If all else failed, he could ask Yan Changqing for assistance as well.

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t believe a damned Immortal Master could withstand a Sword Demon’s strike.

At that moment, Qu Hongling mentioned the earlier encounter with the Snake Demon, speculating: "Brother Jiang, I suspect that the young master from Famous Sword Villa may have been devoured by the Snake Demon. Judging from the demonic aura traces left by the carriage, it is highly likely."

Snake Demon...

Hearing those two words, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but recall Mengniang.

He glanced at Su Junwen’s corpse by the creekside, then said to the two women, "Miaomiao, Hong’er, you two head back to the carriage. I’ll be back shortly."

"What are you doing?"

Yelü Miaomiao’s beautiful eyes exuded suspicion.

"Just handling some small matters like dealing with Su Junwen’s corpse. I’ll be right back—don’t worry about me."

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t want to reveal that he could see the dead and communicate with them. Some secrets, he preferred not to share with anyone.
