Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 33 - 33 33 An Immortal Comes

33: Chapter 33: An Immortal Comes 33: Chapter 33: An Immortal Comes How could he compare with the gentleman in front of him, who seemed as if he had stepped out of a painting?

Even in the village, a single glance at him proved extremely pleasing and comforting to the heart.

Baili An shook his head, about to speak, when Qi Yang, sitting on the ground with a defeated and dim expression, suddenly brightened his eyes, looked toward the distant sky, and exclaimed with joy, “Master!

Haha, my master is here!”

He thought to himself, what are you being so arrogant about, lad?

My master is a cultivation expert who has been practicing for hundreds of years.

Once he comes to take revenge for me, I want to see if you can protect that deer in time!

However, he slightly regretted the thought.

That deer was truly lovely to behold, and he had wanted to use it to curry favor with his Senior Sister to win her affection.

Now that the deer wouldn’t be acquired by his own hands but would have to be passed through his master’s first, he feared the sincerity might lack.

Qi Yang’s shouts drew many people to follow his gaze.

After all, Qi Yang being chosen by an Immortal from a young age had long been publicized among the villages and tribes.

Their hearts held nothing but immense respect and reverence for his Immortal master.

Baili An also heard the unique sound of Sword Flight and his eyes flickered slightly.

Looking up, under a full moon, a man and a woman rode together on a sword, with Sword Qi like a bright rainbow trailing behind, racing along with the chilly wind whistling around them, clearly indicating that the Sword Controller’s Spiritual Power was extraordinary.

Qi Yang laughed heartily, sitting on the ground, waving the intact hand, shouting, “Master, Senior Sister, I’m here!”

“Ah… the Immortal!

The Immortal has arrived!”

“The Immortal must have seen our mountain sacrifice ceremony, so he has revealed himself!”

“This is Qi Yang’s Immortal master!

Everyone, hurry and bow, even a touch of his Immortal Energy would be greatly beneficial!”

The crowd began bowing down, even the haughty Qi Yang, bearing the pain, turned over to kneel and bow deeply in respectful worship.

In the midst of this scene, Baili An alone did not kneel but half-squatted, then slowly stood up, his gaze intensively watching the two approaching through Sword Flight in the distant sky.

His whole body tensed tightly, his dark eyes emitting a wary light.

He saw the pair on the sword, the man appeared older, in the prime of his years.

Although his eye movements suggested crow’s feet, it did not detract from his handsome, clear-cut features, and his posture atop the sword exuded an effortless grace.

His long hair, unbound, whipped wildly about in the night winds, his face wearing a carefree, casual smile.

He cradled a young and beautifully featured woman.

However, her expression was not as relaxed as the man’s, her pale face showing hints of green with fear.

Her arms and clothing were stained with streaks of crimson blood, showing signs of light injuries, her bitten lips presented a pitiful charm.

However, what Baili An was alert to was not the pair, but the overwhelming demonic energy and malevolence surging like a roaring sea from the deep night as the Sword Flight approached, rendering all the creatures in the entire forest into a deathly stillness.

The kneeling mortals clearly hadn’t realized this yet, their faces bearing fervent noble respect as they continued to bow.

It was as if seeing the legendary Immortal was the greatest honor of their lives, and they were tearfully grateful.

Baili An’s gaze was intensely sharp as he swiftly communicated a look to the deer on the ground.

The deer, perfectly understanding, stopped its playful digging, its expressive deer face anthropomorphically revealing a cautious expression.

“Let’s go.”

Baili An, without any hesitation, turned and rapidly retreated into the jungle, with the agile deer leaping high to follow closely.

Who would have known, just no more than ten meters out.

From the sky above, the SwordControl man waved his wide sleeves, a golden glowing net swooped down at an astounding speed, leaving no time for reaction.

And the target was not Baili An, but the deer behind him.

The deer cried out tragically as the golden net, like intertwining spirit snakes, tightly wound around its limbs, digging deep into its flesh, eliciting continuous sorrowful bleats from the deer.

Even the antlers on its forehead, gleaming with the beautiful colors of the starry sea, dimmed quite a bit.

Baili An abruptly stopped, turning without hesitation to shield the deer, his gaze slowly turning unfriendly as he watched the two descending people.

Qi Yang laughed boisterously, his gaze triumphant, “Kid, where do you think you can run to in front of my master?

Master’s Taoist techniques are profound, certainly not something you could compare with your petty skills.

If you know what’s good for you, hand over your deer quickly, and repay me for the Spirit Bow you damaged!”

Perverting the truth was easy for him.

It was he who had lost the bow, yet now it had become his possession.

And demanding the deer had become an entitlement.

For the first time, Baili An witnessed the shamelessness of humanity.

And that man, descending like a Heavenly God, evidently had his internal energies in desperate disarray.

Chased all the way here, yet still maintaining an upright, dignified demeanor.

Unhurriedly, he nodded slightly, accepting the worship of the people openly.

His gaze leisurely turned toward Baili An, his tone gentle but firm as he spoke,

“Young man, I see that this deer has opened its spiritual orifice and has a few years of cultivation.

Such a spiritual creature alongside you is indeed a major waste.

Why not hand it over to me, and I shall surely set it on a bright and proper path?”

The sense of danger drew ever closer, the man clearly aware as well.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, yet his smile remained warm and proud as he carried out his robbery,

unchallenged by the mortals bowing at him.

Baili An’s gaze was deep, “Withdraw the net.”

His voice remained calm, but no one could hear the intense turbulence hiding behind that calm.

The man slowly shook his head, “You, the younger generation, are shortsighted, perhaps not knowing who I am.

Allow me to tell you now, my name is Wen Yu, from the Western Taixuan.

This beast entering my school is indeed a great fortune formed over seven lives; young man, do not let your selfish desires hinder this deer’s spiritual connection.”

Here we go again…

Baili An suddenly realized that the disciples of the present-day Righteous Immortal Sects all liked to take on a grand, virtuous guise of righteousness.

Evidently intending to rob you of your possessions, yet shamelessly adopting the posture of a gentleman.

Baili An didn’t speak further; he chuckled and from his QingShuiLife Jade pulled out the Autumnwater Sword, inserting it into the ground before him.

Although his smile was light, it was unquestionably composed and resolute.

“Since you refuse to withdraw the net, we’ll just wait and see how long you, a great Immortal, pursued by a demon all this way, can withstand here with me.”

“Space Jade?

Magic Artifact?” Qi Yang’s eyes suddenly gleamed as he looked at the jade ring on his finger and the Autumnwater under his palm.

And the pale-faced woman in Wen Yu’s arms also brightened her gaze hotly, unable to shift her eyes away for a moment.

Baili An chuckled lightly, “Let’s see if you have the life to take them today.”

Men die for wealth, as birds die for food.

Today, Baili An truly understood the profundity of this saying.
