Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 451 - 448: Lian Hongshang’s Thoughts [Fifth Watch]

Chapter 451: Chapter 448: Lian Hongshang’s Thoughts [Fifth Watch]

Beneath the watchtowers of Bai Family Village, Immortal Master Li stood alone with his sword against thousands.

In ancient times, Cao Zijian composed a poem in seven steps.

Today, Immortal Master Li kills with each step he takes.

After this battle, Miao Territory trembled!

Before the tribes of Miao Territory could recover from their shock, a bolt from the blue struck, echoing through the Ten Thousand Mountains.

On September 18, 2009, Mei Ruohua from Lingnan and Qin Feng from Yanzhou, led their top disciples in a fierce attack on the Hei Family and Mon Family.

After half a day of slaughter, most masters above Half-step Innate from both families were decimated, and the survivors opened their gates to surrender.

Thus, the Hei Family and Mon Family, both century-old aristocratic families, were uprooted from the map of Miao Territory.

The Tud Family and Ke Family, upon hearing this news, secretly rejoiced that they had not sought the apparent benefits promised by Yin Ghost Sect and gone to Bai Family Village to seek their fortunes.

Otherwise, no one could ensure that they wouldn’t be completely exterminated by Immortal Master Li.

The luckiest was the Jing Family, who had already received significant gifts from Yin Ghost Sect but was delayed due to the long journey and thus missed the meeting date.

Because of this, they narrowly escaped disaster.

In an instant, the focus of everyone in Miao Territory shifted to Yin Ghost Sect.

According to the current trends, the next target for Immortal Master Li’s extermination was certainly them.

This sect, which had terrorized the world a century ago, had now completely declined.

The Deputy Sect Master and the eight Elders were all slain by Immortal Master Li alone. The sect’s elite disciples, in the battles at Camel Peak Ridge and Bai Family Village, had also suffered over half in casualties. Some others, seeing the downfall of their sect, had also taken the opportunity to flee.

In a blink, this super sect, which boasted of ten Transformation Realm Masters and eight thousand disciples, was reduced to only Sect Master Ancestor Yin Ghost and several hundred immovable remnants.

Alongside the Witch God Sect and Heavenly Demon Sect, which were among the Three Sects, they were also closely monitoring the fate of Yin Ghost Sect.

Particularly the Witch God Sect, who claimed to be the orthodox descendants of the Witch God, leading the Three Sects and also being the most powerful sect in Miao Territory.

If Yin Ghost Sect were indeed completely wiped out, then Immortal Master Li, who would have enveloped the territories of the Bai Family, Hei Family, Mon Family, as well as Wu Family and Yin Ghost Sect, would undeniably challenge their dominion as the Miao Territory overlords.

Moreover, it was said that Immortal Master Li belonged to the Imperial Capital Li Family and had the major base of Martial Arts Alliance in Jiangnan.

Once he opened all channels and unified these forces, who in Miao Territory could withstand Immortal Master Li’s edge then?

The Divine Mother of Witch God Sect, sitting atop the Divine Hall, looked downward.

After a deathly silence, she finally spoke, "Where is the Goddess?"

A maid respectfully responded, "According to the Divine Mother, the Goddess is still in solitary contemplation!"

The Divine Mother nodded and said, "Summon her to the Grand Hall!"

"Yes, Divine Mother!"

With a respectful reply, the maid hurriedly made for the Divine Mountain Contemplation Cliff to send for Goddess Lian Hongshang.

Lian Hongshang had been confined to the lightless Contemplation Cliff for a total of nine months.

Since the failure of her last mission at Mount Everest, she was punished to face the wall in contemplation for a year.

During the last nine months, she was accompanied only by solitude.

Yet, for some unknown reason, during this time, the image of the tall and slender Li Chen frequently surfaced in her mind.

Sometimes, he even entered her dreams, making her mistakenly believe she was on Mount Everest.

However, when she startled awake from her sleep and saw the empty stone chamber and the damp, cold stone walls, she would feel a sense of emptiness like coming off a severe illness and also a bit of inexplicable loss.

She couldn’t help but recall every moment she spent with Li Chen on Mount Everest.

Inadvertently, a faint smile, one even she herself did not notice, appeared on her face.

Lian Hongshang got up, walked to the pond, and washed her face.

She stood by the water, quietly observing her reflection. Her eyes sparkled like gems, her eyebrows trimmed like willow leaves, her delicate high nose, and her exquisitely carved face, could be considered God’s most perfect artwork. Even if she could not compare to a fairy above, the difference was minimal.

Just as Lian Hongshang was lost in a trance, the words Li Chen said atop Mount Everest echoed in her ears once again.

"Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you!"

Li Chen wasn’t the first man to have seen her face under the veil, but he was the only one still alive!

When alone, she always asked herself, if he were standing in front of her, could she really bring herself to kill him?

Here at the Contemplation Cliff, she had asked herself this question deep inside at least a hundred times.

Yet she still didn’t have an answer!

"Lian Hongshang, you wretched girl, what’s there to hesitate about. With a man like him, the next time you meet, just kill him with a sword, so he can’t harm other girls!"

Lian Hongshang chided herself for her indecision, thinking fiercely in her heart.

As if to demonstrate her resolve, she drew her sword and split a stone table into two halves.

It was as if the stone table was Li Chen, that wretched person.

"Goddess, Divine Mother wants to see you!"

Just then, a maid’s voice came from outside the cave.

Lian Hongshang was startled and casually asked, "For no reason, why does Divine Mother want to see me? Has something happened?"

The maid shook her head and said, "This servant does not know, the Goddess will understand once she sees the Divine Mother!"

Lian Hongshang knew she wouldn’t get anything more from her mouth, so she stopped asking.

When she arrived at the Witch God Hall, she found that most of the upper echelons of the Witch God Sect had gathered there, which made her even more puzzled.

She walked to the center of the hall and bowed, "Disciple greets Divine Mother!"

The Divine Mother seated at the head nodded slightly, saying, "Hongshang, you need not be so formal. I want to ask you, the incident of you facing the wall in contemplation for nine months, do you realize your mistake?"

Lian Hongshang bowed and said, "Disciple realizes her mistake!"

Seeing her attitude was quite sincere, Divine Mother was satisfied and nodded, saying, "It’s good that you realize your mistake. Now, I will give you an opportunity to atone for your sins, are you willing?"

Lian Hongshang bowed, "Disciple is willing!"

Divine Mother nodded and said, "Very well, some days ago, Jiangnan Immortal Master Li killed Yin Ghost Sect’s Deputy Sect Master Ying Gui, and three Elders, as well as Hei Meng, the Family Head of Hei Family, and Mon Kaishan, the Family Head of Mon Family. He also ordered his subordinates to uproot these two-century-old aristocratic families!"

"From the current situation, he is very likely to make a move against Yin Ghost Sect. I want you to go and observe the situation quietly, and if necessary, take action and kill Immortal Master Li!"

Hearing the name "Immortal Master Li" again, Lian Hongshang felt like she was struck by thunder, trembling all over.

Divine Mother keenly noticed the change in Lian Hongshang’s expression and her face suddenly turned cold, asking, "Hongshang, what’s wrong? Do you have a problem?"

Lian Hongshang quickly shook her head and respectfully replied, "There is none, your disciple will do her utmost to complete the task you have assigned!"

Divine Mother nodded and said gravely, "Very good, you may leave now. Heavenly Demon Sect is likely to send someone as well. Seize the chance to act, do not disappoint me again, understood?"

"Disciple understands, I will not disgrace my teacher’s instructions!"

Though these were her words, Lian Hongshang’s mind was reeling.

Am I going to meet him again, can I truly bring myself to kill him this time?

...

The fifth watch is sent, exhausted Little Le. The sixth watch will definitely not make it, I am truly sorry. Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!
