Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Prefer Death to Regret

As soon as these words came out.

Not to mention Shi Nian, even the virtual shadows were taken aback.

An eerie silence settled on the scene.

Old Mo hurriedly spoke: "Supremes, it has not been easy for Li Nanfeng and me to gather these things. You all are renowned figures; just a slight slip through your fingers would be enough to satisfy us."

After a stretch of quietness.

The leading virtual shadow spoke once more.

His voice was deep: "I do know many secret techniques of the Demon Clan, but they are unusable for the Human Clan. Originally, I could have rewarded you with some treasures, but during the great war thousands of years ago, all our personal storage equipment was destroyed, leaving nothing I could give you."

Li Nanfeng’s eyes glinted as he directly spoke: "In that case, forgive me for not being able to obey."

The eight Supremes became enraged all at once.

A bloody aura materialized into a mist, enveloping Li Nanfeng.

"Human. Have you lost your will to live?"

"Believe it or not, I can drain all your blood."

"I’ll make you unable to live and unable to die."

The Supremes growled furiously.

Li Nanfeng felt waves of chilly breath invading his body, but at that moment, he exhibited the resilience expected of a protagonist.

He spoke calmly, "Then kill me, and then wait another several tens of thousands of years to see if there will be another cultivator willing to help you without compensation."

The growling stopped.

The eight virtual shadows looked at one another, their faces unsightly, seemingly in silent communication.

After a long while.

The lead virtual shadow said coldly: "Over these tens of thousands of years, we have been studying the legacies left by the Immortals and have indeed made some achievements. If you’re willing to help us, I could share our findings with you."

"Oh?" Li Nanfeng was spirited but maintained a calm demeanor: "Who knows if what you’ve studied is of any use."

"That is genuine Immortal Law! If it weren’t for these being unsuitable for the Demon Clan to cultivate, do you think I would be willing to share our insights with you?" the virtual shadow said angrily.

Li Nanfeng was already tempted, he rolled his eyes and said, "Give me the Immortal Law first. If it is indeed effective, naturally I will assist you."

"Give it to you first?" the virtual shadow said coldly: "What if you go back on your word and don’t help us?"

Li Nanfeng said calmly, "Then you can easily exterminate me at any time. I have no chance to resist, do I?"

This was indeed true.

The several virtual shadows exchanged glances, communicating swiftly in a way only they understood.

Then.

The leading virtual shadow coldly commanded: "Come here."

Li Nanfeng felt a tinge of anxiety, but still approached.

A tentacle stretched out from the virtual shadow, placing itself directly upon Li Nanfeng’s forehead.

Li Nanfeng first shivered all over, then, made an effort to relax.

The next moment.

A vast amount of information transferred through the tentacle into his mind.

Li Nanfeng immediately showed a rapturous expression.

Immortal Law.

This was definitely the true Immortal Law.

Shi Nian watched this unfold with a slightly furrowed brow.

She wanted to snatch the protagonist’s opportunity for her senior sister.

Yet, this opportunity turned out to be the Immortal Law researched by the Demon Clan.

How could she possibly snatch that?

Certainly not by letting the Demon Clan teach her senior sister in the same way.

Or, should she simply dig out Li Nanfeng’s brain?

At this moment, Li Nanfeng had completely lost himself in the Immortal Law.

"Can we start now?" the virtual shadows bellowed in unison.

Li Nanfeng, still intoxicated by the splendid Immortal Law, snapped to alertness upon hearing the roar.

Suppressing his excitement, he said in a steady voice: "I’ll begin right away. However, to prevent you from reneging later on, shouldn’t you also make a vow not to attack me?"

"Human, don’t push your luck!"

The anger was evident in the virtual shadows’ voices.

Li Nanfeng said calmly, "If you refuse to make the oath, I will have fears in my heart, and if any mistake happens while setting up the formation, it will not end well."

"Human, you..."

"Enough." The leading shadow spoke slowly, "Take the oath."

The life of a human meant nothing to them.

The freedom they had craved for tens of thousands of years was now within reach.

The importance of the two was obvious.

This was easy to understand, and quickly, the eight shadows each left their vow to the Heavenly Dao.

Li Nanfeng felt the presence of the Heavenly Dao descend, and only then did he completely ease his mind.

"Human, do not test my patience," the shadow said coldly.

"Understood." Li Nanfeng smiled and took everything out of his Storage Bag directly, "I will start setting up the formation now."

This time, he didn’t raise any conditions and began working without hesitation.

"Human scum." Mu Nanqing gritted her teeth, her gaze towards Li Nanfeng filled with a hatred so intense, she wished she could devour him.

Now, the three tribes were in conflict with each other.

Humans, Demons, and the Demon Clan, temporarily maintaining a balance of power.

But if Li Nanfeng released the ancient demon that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years,

the Demon Clan would become the strongest tribe in one fell swoop.

By then, could the Human Clan still expect any good fortune?

For his own selfish desires, Li Nanfeng had actually dragged the entire Human Clan down with him; if this wasn’t treachery, what was?

"Little martial uncle, you must protect Shi Nian and, if possible, take him and leave immediately," Mu Nanqing held her treasure sword, her hand trembling, yet her voice was firm, "I must stop Li Nanfeng!"

The several Supremes, even now reduced to mere shadows, were still terrifyingly powerful.

Mu Nanqing knew she was no match for them.

But,

Even if it meant death, she had to try.

"Martial sister!" Shi Nian was startled and quickly said, "Don’t be impulsive."

Lu Zhuoyan wanted to say something but couldn’t open his mouth.

Ever since arriving here, his entire focus had been on concealing his presence, fearing that opening his mouth would disrupt it.

"Shi Nian," Mu Nanqing looked at him tenderly, "You’re still young, you don’t understand. There are things in this world that you cannot do, and then there are things that you must do, even if it means death. If we don’t stop Li Nanfeng today, the calamity of the Human Clan is imminent."

By then,

All the people she respected, cared about, and worried about would be caught in the whirlpool of this disaster.

Today,

Since she stumbled upon this incident, she had to do all she could, even at the cost of her life without any regrets.

"Martial sister..." Shi Nian muttered to herself.

She was different from her martial sister.

Coming to this world, all she wanted was to live, and to live until a ripe old age if possible.

But the martial sister said,

There are things that you must do, even if it means death.

"Shi Nian, be good, follow your junior martial uncle closely," Mu Nanqing held her treasure sword, ready to stand up.

Just at that moment,

A strange cackling laugh echoed through the air.

"Speaking of which, it seems a few little mice followed us here. Brothers, allow me to handle this first," one said.

The other shadows nodded indifferently.

Mu Nanqing’s heart suddenly tightened.

What does that mean?

Had they been discovered already?

The next moment,

A chilling presence assaulted them from behind.

Mu Nanqing bit her lip, her hand clutching the sword trembling as she desperately shielded Shi Nian behind her.

"It’s been so long, haven’t you recognized me?" Lu Zhuoyan suddenly stood up, his voice calm.

He abandoned his concealment of presence and smiled as he faced the sudden attack of the shadow.
