Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 984 - 261: You are Immortal Jiao, aren’t you?_2

"Immortal Jiao, Immortal Jiao, why are you in such a hurry?" a Heavenly Soldier and General carrying a longsword suddenly saw his old friend flying by and hastily shouted a question.

"There’s, there’s nothing of importance, I just remembered that I had not extinguished the fire in my mansion’s pill furnace in time. I just want to rush back and put out the fire."

The immortal known as "Immortal Jiao" forced a smile, then hurried off with a look full of concern.

"How strange..." the Heavenly Soldier and General with the longsword furrowed his brow but then shook his head, "Well, it must really be the fire from the pill furnace in the mansion that wasn’t put out in time!"

But "Immortal Jiao" had already flown far into the distance. For he sensed that, for some unknown reason, the magical array in his mansion had been activated.

This frightened him immensely because that array was from the human world, bringing certain items into the Heavenly Court, and those items must not be discovered by others!

"Damn it... Which band of thieves has got the time wrong? Shouldn’t it be several days later in the mortal world?" He cursed inwardly, speeding along on his cloud with even greater urgency.

For he knew what he was doing violated the celestial rules, which was why he did not want other immortals to discover him.

Once other immortals discovered what he had done, he would probably be reported, then thrown into Heavenly Prison! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He absolutely could not allow other immortals to discover his secret, at least not by those he did not know.

If it were immortals he knew, maybe there could be some leeway, after all, they were cast in the same mold.

If they weren’t the same type of immortal, he wouldn’t associate with those immortals.

But if the other party was a stranger... that would be big trouble!

How could he encounter this situation? Immortal Jiao was terribly vexed!

At the same time, a surge of anger also rose in his heart.

If he found out which bandit lair had done such a thing, he would surely make them die without a place to bury them! Because those damn mortals had significantly affected his survival in the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm. If the things he did in the mortal world were discovered, he feared the entire Heavenly Court would not tolerate him. By then, Immortal Jiao reckoned he would have no choice but to flee in panic.

He even didn’t know whether he would have the chance to escape when that time came? After all, violating the heavenly rules meant facing pursuit by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals! Among those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were certainly many who were far more formidable than he was, to be honest, he was quite scared. It was precisely because of such consequences that, with his status, he simply couldn’t afford to bear them, which was why he was now in such a hurry.

After about the time it takes to have a cup of tea, he finally reached his Immortal Palace Mansion. Because Immortal Jiao was a sixth-rank Immortal Official in the Heavenly Court. Such a position had already qualified him to own an Immortal Palace Mansion in the Heavenly Court, after all, this was... a middle-level cadre in the Heavenly Court, and a fairly high-ranking one at that. Because reaching the fifth-rank meant one was already part of the upper echelons!

As a sixth-rank Immortal Official in the Heavenly Court, Immortal Jiao was just one rank shy of the fifth-rank. It was also because he could own an Immortal Palace Mansion of his own that he could engage in those clandestine activities. After returning to his mansion, Immortal Jiao placed his palm on the grand entrance door, pouring his mana into it.

The golden and silver threads embedded in the door began to emit a faint aura, and under the drive of Immortal Jiao’s mana, the array set upon the door was directly unlocked by him. The anxious Immortal Jiao didn’t speak another word, stepping into his mansion. Then he discovered something slightly amiss—why hadn’t the imagined boys and girls appeared before him?

Instead, he could sense a very unfamiliar presence within his mansion - the aura seemed to be that of a mortal! Following that scent, he furrowed his brow and headed to the area of the mansion where elixirs were stored. Upon seeing the scene in that place, he was immediately frozen on the spot.

Immortal Jiao’s eyes widened like two copper bells... He watched the scene in disbelief, seeing the vast amount of Immortal Pills that he had painstakingly refined over countless millennia, all gone! Every gourd, every jade bottle, was empty.

He could even see a mere mortal opening the last gourd, which contained an Immortal Pill. He watched, eyes wide open, as the other unceremoniously popped the cork and poured the Immortal Pill into his mouth. Such a rapacious way of consuming made Immortal Jiao’s heart ache so much that he could barely breathe!

Every single gourd of Immortal Pills was, to Him, the result of who knows how many years of refining! The energy and Mana, as well as time and Immortal herbs spent, were countless! But... but...

But just like that, gourd after gourd of his painstakingly refined Immortal Pills were being gobbled up by a common mortal? And even after seeing Him, the man didn’t stop, going so far as to gobble up the last gourd as well?

After the initial shock and confusion, a towering rage surged up from His chest! Immortal Jiao’s eyes were threaded with blood, the fury turning them crimson red.

His rage was so intense that he couldn’t help but begin to revert to his original form, scales starting to appear on the surface of his skin, and his expression twisting into one of utmost ferocity. It was as if he desperately wanted to tear Fan Wu to pieces!

He clearly remembered the last time he was this angry was when his sworn brother, the Tiger Immortal Officer, died in the mortal world! Now, He felt that anger again, even more intense than before.

Although Immortal Jiao couldn’t recognize which bandit this was, He didn’t care about that anymore. He only knew that this mere mortal had thoroughly triggered His ire! His rage was visibly vein-popping.

"You... You deserve to die! You really... really deserve to die! Audacious! Utterly audacious!" In a fury, Immortal Jiao roared, "Today, if I don’t refine you, this common mortal, into a Golden Core, I... will take off this Black Gauze Cap and no longer be an Immortal!"

Without hesitation, Immortal Jiao made his move fiercely! He swept his sleeve robe in the direction of Fan Wu. Upon that sweeping gesture, three magic weapon Longswords flew out of his sleeves.

These three magic weapon Longswords were all Immortal Swords, which upon their appearance, shot straight towards Fan Wu! Their speed was as fast as shooting stars, and any Cultivator facing this move... would only meet their demise on the spot!

Even some weaker beings, such as Earth Deities or Mountain Gods, would suffer serious injuries or death on the spot when faced with this attack!

This was the strength of a sixth-rank Immortal Official. In front of such power, Earth Deities were merely ants that could be killed with a flick of a finger!

Immortal Jiao felt that this move was enough to capture both the soul and body of a mere mortal who had intruded into the Immortal Palace Mansion of the Immortal Realm.

He even felt it was like using a cleaver to kill a chicken. But under the influence of his rage, He was past caring about such overkill!

However...

The next moment, a scene that made Immortal Jiao utterly dumbfounded occurred!

The three Immortal Swords, shooting straight towards Fan Wu, were effortlessly caught by him with a mere flick of his hand!

All three Immortal Swords were grasped in Fan Wu’s hands!

"So, you’re Immortal Jiao, right?"
