Chapter 1487: Despicable and Shameless

There was no enmity between him and Dongfang Ping.

If it wasn’t for the Divine Artifact and Godhood, why would Dongfang Ping want to lure him over?

"Correct, to lure you over. You may not have been to the Sealing God Battlefield, but I discovered a special place of Divine Miracle there. With my strength alone, I can’t enter. I thought maybe we could join forces and explore it together," Dongfang Ping said.

"A Divine Miracle? Why did you choose me?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"I don’t trust others, especially those from major factions. Of course, you’re also from a major faction, but you’re different. Your cultivation time is shorter, so I don’t have to wait too long," Dongfang Ping replied with a smile.

"Is this place dangerous?" Xu Nian asked inquisitively.

"Extremely dangerous. Wait until your cultivation reaches the Immortal Sovereign level," Dongfang Ping said with a grin.

"Alright, if I go to the Sealing God Battlefield, I’ll come find you," Xu Nian agreed.

"I hope you don’t die too soon, Xu Nian. I have high hopes for you. I’m curious to see who among us will become a god first," Dongfang Ping smiled slightly and then vanished into a streak of light.

Xu Nian watched Dongfang Ping leave, and his eyes grew more resolute.

He still had a long road ahead, and his cultivation was far from sufficient.

So he had to work even harder.

Xu Nian headed towards Haohai City. The direction he had fled before was east, but to reach the extreme south, he had to exit through the south gate, or else he would have to travel a long way around.

Now, he had severed his heavenly fate, and not even the so-called Tianji Immortal Emperor could detect him.

"Even if you kill me, I don’t know where Xu Nian is!"

As Xu Nian passed through a dense forest in Haohai City, he was drawn by a voice.

Xu Nian immediately frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a woman being pinned to the ground by a powerful Immortal Sovereign, with immense pressure.

Alongside the woman were four other individuals.

These four were all immobilized by strong Immortal Essence restraints.

Next to the Immortal Sovereign stood a young woman dressed in noble attire, her gaze proud.

Behind the noble woman stood an even more powerful Immortal Sovereign level master.

"Yanyun? Yanran?"

Xu Nian was suddenly taken aback.

He realized that the woman being oppressed by the powerful Immortal Sovereign pressure was Zhao Yanyun.

At this moment, Zhao Yanyun was pinned to the ground, unable to move, with blood flowing from her seven orifices.

A Profound Immortal at her level could hardly withstand the oppression of an Immortal Sovereign.

It was fortunate the Immortal Sovereign restrained their aura and didn’t intend to kill her directly.

Otherwise, Zhao Yanyun would have already been dead.

"You don’t know? I just heard you say you were old acquaintances with Xu Nian. Is it possible you don’t have a way to contact him?" the proud young woman sneered at Zhao Yanyun, who lay on the ground like a dying dog, her gaze full of disdain.

"I really don’t know! And even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you," Zhao Yanyun gritted her teeth and shouted angrily.

"Still so stubborn? If you don’t know, then kill them," the young woman declared disdainfully.

"Yes!"

At that moment, the Immortal Sovereign prepared to act.

"Don’t! Yanyun really doesn’t know," Leng Yanran shouted immediately.

"And what about you?" the young woman asked, looking at Leng Yanran.

"We don’t know either! We haven’t seen him since we arrived in the Immortal Realm. We’re also looking for him," Leng Yanran shook her head.

"Then kill them all!" the young woman mercilessly announced.

Leng Yanran frowned immediately.

The young man beside Leng Yanran’s face greatly changed and he quickly shouted: "We have a way to contact Xu Nian. Sima Xiangling, if you spare me and my sister, we can help you find Xu Nian."

"What way do you have?" the young woman asked the young man with a smile.

"Of course, it was Xu Nian who accepted the task to protect us. But, he abandoned us halfway, a complete scoundrel. These two women had a deep connection with Xu Nian back in the Mortal World. If I’m not mistaken, they should be his women. If you use them to contact Xu Nian, you can lure him out," the young man said immediately.

Indeed, he was none other than Gongsun Qing.

When they arrived at Haohai City, they encountered Leng Yanran and Zhao Yanyun.

Gongsun Qing noticed their extraordinary looks and got an idea. After chatting, he found out they had a close relationship with Xu Nian, which further fueled his desire to take revenge on Xu Nian.

So he lied to them, claiming he could find Xu Nian, intending to lure them back to his family.

But midway, they encountered Sima Xiangling.

Initially, Sima Xiangling only wanted to kill Gongsun Qing and his companions, but Gongsun Qing revealed the connection between Leng Yanran, Zhao Yanyun, and Xu Nian.

Thus, it led to Sima Xiangling interrogating Zhao Yanyun.

"Brother, you can’t do this! Brother Xu Nian treated us well," Gongsun Wan’er immediately protested.

Gongsun Ling sighed and shook his head.

"I can’t worry about so much now. Xu Nian abandoned us, basically betraying us. My actions don’t count as betraying him," Gongsun Qing’s gaze was venomous.

"You despicable scoundrel," Zhao Yanyun glared at Gongsun Qing and cursed.

Leng Yanran’s eyes were also filled with fury.

"Humph, if I’m despicable, then Xu Nian is shameless. If he hadn’t abandoned us and brought such trouble, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. To be honest, when I said I’d help you find Xu Nian, it was all a lie. I never contacted him. My goal was to deceive you into my family and then possess you. Although I can’t defeat Xu Nian, I can toy with his women, haha," Gongsun Qing’s face was hideous, his eyes filled with madness.

Zhao Yanyun and Leng Yanran were both gnashing their teeth.

They hadn’t expected to almost be deceived.

Sima Xiangling, on the side, listened with a playful gaze.

"Interesting, who would have thought the young master of the Gongsun Family would be so despicable. It seems you really hate this Xu Nian?" Sima Xiangling sneered.

"Of course. That guy is always so self-righteous. Miss Sima, you might consider my suggestion. I’m sure Xu Nian will definitely come. By then, you can kill him and take the Divine Artifact and Godhood in his possession," Gongsun Qing said.

"Your idea is indeed not bad. Aren’t you going to toy with these two women of Xu Nian? Then they are yours now. Later, I’ll transmit what you did to that Xu Nian through the Water Shadow Technique. I’m sure he will come after seeing it. If you really lure him here, I might spare you and your sister," Sima Xiangling said playfully.

"Brother, don’t!" Gongsun Wan’er hurriedly implored.

Gongsun Ling also had a furrowed brow but didn’t say anything.

"Fine!" However, Gongsun Qing’s eyes were unwavering as he immediately agreed.

He then advanced towards Zhao Yanyun.

"You... you keep away!" Zhao Yanyun shouted angrily.

"Humph, blame Xu Nian for this," Gongsun Qing snorted.

Having said that, he was about to act on Zhao Yanyun.

"Get into that grove over there. I don’t want to soil my eyes. Remember to record the scene," Sima Xiangling said disdainfully.

"Fine!" Gongsun Qing replied, grabbing Zhao Yanyun’s hair and dragging her toward the grove.

At this moment, Zhao Yanyun’s cultivation had been sealed, leaving her unable to break free from Gongsun Qing’s hold, not even allowing her to commit suicide.

"Pshh!"

However, before Gongsun Qing could take a few steps, an extremely cold Sword Radiance swept across.

It directly severed his entire arm.

"Ah!"

Gongsun Qing let out a miserable scream.

But his eyes were fixed firmly on the person approaching, a look of terror in his gaze.

Zhao Yanyun and Leng Yanran were also terrified, their eyes dazedly staring at the man walking towards them like a deity.
