Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 469 - 468: The Die is Cast

Chapter 469: Chapter 468: The Die is Cast

"You think you can mess with me? I’m already 15,000 years old, do you really think you can mess with me? What a joke. Not to mention I’ve always been the one doing the messing, no man has ever been able to mess with me. Even if you had the ability, even if I lay before you, could you? Would you dare?"

Surprisingly, Granny Si Gui seemed to be in the mood to bicker with Lin Hao, and right from the start, she spoke as if thunder was rolling across the sky - she was capable of saying anything, and she did so with pride.

15,000 years old?

Lin Hao was also infuriated.

To think that she was such an old hag - 15,000 years old and still associating ’messing’ with that kind of ’messing’, and daring to talk to Lin Hao like that.

This was clearly her teasing Lin Hao!

At a time like this, how could Lin Hao back down? While observing the fish, he scoffed, "Not dare? Don’t talk about a 15,000-year-old woman like you, even if you were 30,000 years old, I’d still mess with you. At worst, I’d use an Illusion Technique to see you as a young beauty! If you don’t believe me, come out now and see if I dare to mess with you!"

Lin Hao’s voice flowed through the lake water, causing ripples to spread in layers. At the same time, Lin Hao focused his entire being, Primordial Qi circulating, trying to find Granny Si Gui’s location and even observing for the unique point within the Qimen Dunjia.

As expected, choked up by Lin Hao’s words, Granny Si Gui turned out to be no match and was defeated on the spot, seeming frustrated and infuriated. But then she sneered coldly, "Ke ke ke, even if you have the heart for it, you’ve got to have the life to do so!"

The old hag’s voice echoed through the lake water, and with each word she said, it felt as if a giant whip was being cracked.

The fish, as if spurred on, swam frantically in one direction.

A dense, dark mass of them came together to form a sea of fish, delving deep into the bottom of the lake.

And Lin Hao couldn’t pinpoint where Granny Si Gui’s voice was coming from!

There was no other way but to follow the school of fish.

But upon turning around, he saw Liu Chuixue still standing dumbfounded in place, pale as death, as if petrified with fear.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and follow me!" Lin Hao had no choice but to go back and channel Primordial Qi into Liu Chuixue’s barrier.

But Liu Chuixue still made no move until Lin Hao approached, and then she looked at him in shock, trembling all over, "It really is Granny Si Gui, Master, I... I’m no match for her!"

Liu Chuixue was actually scared!

A giant spider from the Eternal Life Realm that had transformed into a human was actually scared!

"What’s there to fear!" Lin Hao’s brow furrowed upward, his qi sank into his Dantian, and he let out a Buddhist shout, "Cultivators defy the heavens, their path is fraught with hardships and myriad dangers. Dying halfway is nothing unusual. If you can’t even keep a normal state of mind, then what’s the point in cultivating? I really wonder how you managed to transform from a spider into a human form."

Woom... Every word Lin Hao said resonated like thunder in Liu Chuixue’s mind.

Liu Chuixue trembled all over, looking amazed at Lin Hao.

Honestly, although Liu Chuixue knew that Lin Hao’s strength was far beneath hers, this mentality was something Liu Chuixue knew she couldn’t compare to.

"Granny Si Gui’s master is the Ghost Gate Primogenitor, Heavenly Slaying Lord, a being only second to the Sect Hierarch. I don’t know why he’s here, but if he awakens, both of us will die," Liu Chuixue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Then let him sleep forever!" Lin Hao snorted coldly, glancing at the swimming fish around them: "Follow me!"

After saying that, both of them charged forward, following the fish.

The lake was vast, and there might even be the techniques of Qimen Dunjia within it, but following the fish would certainly not be wrong. Under no circumstances could they allow those who had turned into fish to become ingredients in Madam Si Gui’s cauldron broth.

"Giggle giggle, humans, resistance is futile; your fate was sealed the moment you entered the lake." In the waters, Madam Si Gui was still laughing.

The swimming fish suddenly stopped ahead, all converging and frantically swimming around one point in a swirling motion.

"This is the place, but..." Lin Hao also came to a halt, looking around. The school of fish had stopped, but here, from the bottom of the lake to its surface, there was no place like the Giant Stone Formation, nor could he find the critical point of Qimen Dunjia.

This was strange.

Lin Hao frowned deeply, his gaze sweeping around, but he couldn’t find any flaws.

"Giggle giggle, human, resign yourself to being ground into mince. You escaped last time, but this time, you won’t have the chance!" Madam Si Gui laughed heartily, her voice coming from all directions, and the swimming fish, following her, became increasingly frenzied.

Group after group, tens of thousands of swimming fish quickly enveloped Lin Hao and Liu Chuixue as well, dragging them into a mad whirl in the lake.

"What should we do?!" Liu Chuixue, though still afraid, wasn’t as paralyzed as before and began to resist fiercely while being engulfed by the fish.

However, the sheer power of countless fish swimming in the same direction was infinite. Liu Chuixue couldn’t withstand it at all.

"The water in the lake is getting scorching hot!" In a short while, Lin Hao suddenly felt that the temperature rising from the lake water was getting higher and higher; in not much time, the entire lake seemed to be boiling.

Those fish in the boiling water started to tumble, and some were directly cooked until their skin and flesh disintegrated!

"No, this isn’t right!" Lin Hao watched as a fish was boiled in front of him, its flesh dissolving into the lake, leaving behind a skeleton that drifted forward with the other fish. A peculiar feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

"The color of the water has changed... No, what is that... It’s..." Suddenly, Liu Chuixue looked down at her feet and saw that the water under her, already bubbling like boiling water, kept rolling. At the same time, many weeds from the lake’s bottom also started to churn.

But those weeds, in Liu Chuixue’s eyes, were of unbelievable surprise: "These aren’t ordinary weeds; they are Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass!!!"

Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass was equivalent to Treasures!

Lin Hao also looked down, and his eyes were immediately stunned!

The numerous water plants at the bottom of the lake were in fact various medicinal herbs and rare treasures from the Eternal Life Realm.

There were the lowest-level herbs, as well as many of the highest-level Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, and even several Fierce Beasts Inner Cores!

This was not a mere lake, but clearly a medicinal soup lake! This boiling lake water was clearly a broth of live fish being brewed!!!

Lin Hao was shocked, a ludicrous idea suddenly popping into his mind.

This lake was not a lake at all, but in fact, the Giant Cauldron, enlarged and placed in the midst of the forest; once filled with water, it became a lake!

Madam Si Gui needed living humans for her medicine, and moreover, she needed them willingly. Therefore, she exploited human greed, using treasures as bait to lure Cultivators to come.

When Cultivators went to Lake Heart Island, it wasn’t really Lake Heart Island they reached but rather, they entered the lake and became part of the fish meat within!

This was Madam Si Gui’s medicinal broth, and Lin Hao had now become one of its ingredients! At any moment, he might end up like those fish, cooked until only his skeleton remained!
