Chapter 1959 - 1959: The Immortal Lord Versus the Wanyan Family

"People from the Wanyan Family?" Wen'er turned her head in surprise, looking around. She asked curiously, "Weren't all the people from the Wanyan Family killed in Mount Duwang? How could we still encounter them?""The ones who died were just the team from the Wanyan Family that came to seize the Tianzhu Sword. However, those people were captured by me over by the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master, so the Wanyan Family must have received the news by now." Du Canglang said in a deep voice, "The Wanyan Family has been building up strength for a thousand years; their family power is nothing to be underestimated. If they find out that I captured their people, they will definitely send someone to deal with me. They might already be near Mount Duwang, so we better leave here quickly. Otherwise, we may get trapped here, which would be dangerous!"

Wen'er was also quite afraid of the Wanyan Family. Hearing this, she became anxious and said, "If that's the case, let's hurry up and leave."

"We can't take the same route we came." Du Canglang waved his hand at Wen'er and said, "Everyone knows that Guimen Town is the road to the Doomsday Sect. If the Wanyan Family is coming, they will definitely head to Guimen Town first. If we retrace our steps, we are walking right into their trap. Moreover, the Immortal Lord also took that path. If we proceed that way, even if we don't encounter the Wanyan Family, running into the Immortal Lord first would be very dangerous too. So, we must take another route, avoiding Guimen Town, to prevent being captured by them!"

Wen'er wasn't someone with a strong individual opinion. Hearing Du Canglang's words, she felt he made sense and quickly said, "Senior Du, then which way should we go? I'll follow you!"

Du Canglang didn't decline, leading Wen'er out of Mount Duwang in another direction. Wen'er was also fortunate to leave Mount Duwang with Du Canglang, a seasoned Jianghu veteran. During their detour, another group reached the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master on Mount Duwang—these people were from the Wanyan Family. The person leading them was none other than the Third Master of the Wanyan Family, Wanyan Hongsheng.

As Du Canglang had predicted, the Wanyan Family sent Wan Yan Yong and others to get the Tianzhu Sword Technique from the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master, and then seize the Tianzhu Sword. However, shortly after Wan Yan Yong and his group arrived, they received news that their people were ambushed by Du Canglang and that Wan Yan Yong had died at the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master.

Wanyan Hongsheng had, of course, heard of Du Canglang's reputation, as they were almost contemporaries, so he was well aware of Du Canglang's formidable power. Upon hearing that Du Canglang was involved, he was shocked and originally intended to abandon the pursuit of the Tianzhu Sword. But soon, he received news that Ye Qing was also in Du Canglang's grasp and had been taken into Mount Duwang, which suddenly gave him a different idea.

It was known that the Wanyan Family was equally determined to obtain the Buddha's Relic. After all, they already controlled the Corpse Ghost Dragon and wanted to use its power to conquer the world and control everyone. However, despite its strength, the Corpse Ghost Dragon had one flaw: the Buddha's Relic. As long as the Buddha's Relic existed, the Corpse Ghost Dragon couldn't truly be invincible under the heavens. Therefore, the Wanyan Family refrained from using the Corpse Ghost Dragon, intending first to acquire the Buddha's Relic, so no one could oppose the Corpse Ghost Dragon, and they could naturally become invincible under the heavens.

Now, learning that Du Canglang took Ye Qing into Mount Duwang, Wanyan Hongsheng suddenly had an idea—seize this opportunity to capture both Ye Qing and the Tianzhu Sword. Capturing Ye Qing meant acquiring the Buddha's Relic, which was crucial for the Wanyan Family. As for the Tianzhu Sword, it could significantly enhance the Wanyan Family's power, so they were eager to obtain it. Thus, Wanyan Hongsheng changed his plan, calling for a group of masters from the Wanyan Family and even bringing the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Given Du Canglang's formidable strength, they intended to use the Corpse Ghost Dragon against him if they couldn't overpower him.

Transporting the Corpse Ghost Dragon was a bit troublesome, causing them to arrive somewhat late. Just as Du Canglang and his party were choosing a different route to exit Mount Duwang, this group was just reaching the canyon where the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master was located.

Wanyan Hongsheng felt a bit unwilling as he attempted to enter the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master with his group. Yet, losing a few more men without being able to proceed, he had to give up, deciding to venture into the mountains first to find Ye Qing and Du Canglang. But as they were about to ascend, a person suddenly came racing down from the mountains.

The newcomer was the Immortal Lord. He had been chased away by Wuji using the Tianzhu Sword, after being hit by Ye Qing's internal power and suffering severe injuries. Knowing he was no match for the Tianzhu Sword, he dared not linger around the Doomsday Sect, but fled hurriedly to the mountain's exterior to restore his strength. His speed was astonishing, effortlessly traversing these mountains in no time, planning to leave the mountain and find someone to help him recover. Unexpectedly, upon reaching the mountaintop, he saw a group of people in the canyon and was instantly delighted, descending the mountain without a second thought to replenish his strength using the Wanyan Family.

The Wanyan Family members, seeing someone racing down, didn't know who the newcomer was but remained highly alert, given his incredible speed. Especially Wanyan Hongsheng, whose first thought was that Du Canglang had arrived. However, even Du Canglang couldn't possibly be this fast. The newcomer's speed shocked Wanyan Hongsheng, making him wonder about their true strength.

The Immortal Lord, moving swiftly and with purpose, charged toward the Wanyan Family, immediately attacking the person at the front.

The first person, also a top-level master, was quite strong. Yet, seeing the Immortal Lord approach, they had no time to react before being seized by the shoulder and subdued by the Immortal Lord.

"Ah!" The person shrieked as the Immortal Lord absorbed all their strength within seconds, leaving their body shriveled, terrifying those behind, turning their faces pale.

Wanyan Hongsheng finally saw the newcomer's face clearly—it wasn't Du Canglang. While pondering their identity, his expression changed dramatically upon recognizing the clothes of the Immortal Lord. Pointing at him, he shouted, "You are the Immortal Lord!"

The distinctive clothing of the Immortal Lord was well-known, and in his earlier years, his fame was immense, known all over the world. Despite being trapped in the Doomsday Sect for a century by Wuji, Wanyan Hongsheng still remembered tales about him, as their eras weren't far apart, including his clothing style. Seeing the Immortal Lord's attire, Wanyan Hongsheng recognized him at first glance!

"Hahaha..." The Immortal Lord laughed triumphantly, proclaiming, "You junior folks are indeed amusing, to actually know my title. Good! Very good! Since you know my name, save me the trouble of personally taking action. Come to me yourselves to avoid dying painfully!"

The Immortal Lord, incredibly powerful, eyes the Wanyan Family without concern, despite their numbers.

The Wanyan Family members looked grave, having heard of the Immortal Lord's reputation, knowing too well his immense strength. If the Immortal Lord intended to kill them, they wouldn't be able to resist at all.

"How did my Wanyan Family offend the Undying Senior for you to act against us?" Wanyan Hongsheng asked in a deep voice.

"Wanyan Family members?" The Immortal Lord opened his eyes, glancing at the group, showing slight astonishment. The Wanyan Family had a millennium legacy, producing masters in every era, even during the Immortal Lord's time. So, hearing they were from the Wanyan Family, he felt a bit shaken.

"I am the grandson of Wanyan Chengyuan!" Wanyan Hongsheng quickly replied, mentioning his grandfather, who had met the Immortal Lord several times during their era. Bringing up his grandfather's name, he hoped to gain the Immortal Lord's favor.

"Wanyan Chengyuan!?" The Immortal Lord furrowed his brow, well aware of that formidable name. If not for the Immortal Lord achieving the Acme before him, Wanyan Chengyuan's fame might have surpassed his. The Immortal Lord had some connections with Wanyan Chengyuan, and under other circumstances might have spared the Wanyan Family for his sake. But now was different—injured and drained after a century, he had no choice but to absorb their power to recover.

"So, you're Wanyan Chengyuan's grandson!" The Immortal Lord squinted at Wanyan Hongsheng, suddenly sneering, "Judging by your age, Wanyan Chengyuan has probably been dead for years, hasn't he? If there's any issue, let Wanyan Chengyuan talk to me himself. As for you, you're not qualified!"

Laughing coldly, the Immortal Lord pounced on the second person, quickly draining them of power. Despite their precautions, in the face of the Immortal Lord, any defense was futile.

Seeing the Immortal Lord's brutal attack, Wanyan Hongsheng was even more panicked. He knew that despite bringing several masters, together they stood no chance against the Immortal Lord. Confronting him head-on would only cause heavy casualties for the Wanyan Family. However, they couldn't just watch as all their people were slain!

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Wanyan Hongsheng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Immortal Lord, I respect you as a senior master, which is why I'm politely advising you now. If you continue to be ruthless, don't blame me for being unkind!"
