Chapter 391: 224. Sky Ghost Path “Numerical Trickery”, Deceiving the Immortals Too Much

If Tan Shuchang were a True Immortal, Crimson Spring Child would have definitely not intervened to stop Greenwood Immortal; instead, he would have seized the opportunity to strike stealthily with his sword, eliminating any future threats.

However, since Tan Shuchang had not yet become an Immortal, this inevitably left Crimson Spring Child somewhat hesitant.

After all, having a True Immortal kill Tan Shuchang would not only infuriate the Crimson Spring Path but also turn an Immortal Path Creature, initially not a significant threat to him, into a considerably greater one.

Moreover, these two Immortal Path Creatures were not one and the same, leading the adversary not only to hide in the dark but also to become particularly troublesome.

If this weren’t the case, upon learning that he had stolen a Spirit of Immortal Technique originally belonging to the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, he wouldn’t need to only prevent the new Secluded Spring Blood Demon from taking action but also to dig into his own resources to provide a Spirit of Immortal Technique as compensation.

To those unaware, they might even think Crimson Spring Child is a good elder brother.

But those who knew understood that at this moment, no one wished for Tan Shuchang’s death more than Crimson Spring Child himself, of course, with the stipulation that it should not occur at the hands of a True Immortal.

At this instant, thanks to Crimson Spring Child’s intervention, Tan Shuchang had already disappeared without a trace.

“So you plan to merely let it go?” Greenwood Immortal asked half-smiling, aware of Crimson Spring Child’s compensation to Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

After all, it was a Spirit of Immortal Technique.

Only Immortal Techniques can allow a True Immortal to fully exert their strength, and to possess such techniques, one must initially have a Spirit of Immortal Technique.

Many True Immortals had learned Immortal Techniques without the presence of a Spirit of Immortal Technique, but in reality, they were merely borrowing power.

For example, True Immortals who joined the Immortal Court could all perform the “Earth Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations,” which is indeed a borrowed power of Immortal Techniques from the Immortal Court.

“What can I do if this boy always provokes True Immortals?” Crimson Spring Child said through gritted teeth.

He has not yet become an Immortal, yet he manages to provoke only True Immortals – Secluded Spring Blood Demon, Purple-Gold Immortal, Greenwood Immortalists, the Ancestor of the Wanchen Immortal Clan… such people were indeed giving him a headache.

“Speaking of which, Daoist Friend Crimson Spring, this brother of yours from the same mother also seems to have angered that Wanchen fellow, right?” Greenwood Immortal mused, his “Wanchen” referring naturally to the Ancestor of the Wanchen Immortal Clan.

The era of Immortal governance was approaching, with True Immortals descending to undergo trials in such special times. Greenwood Immortal, due to events in the Land of the Four Pillars, was mostly aware of them.

After all, though he had not yet taken his place, he was eligible to reside in the Primordial Heavenly Realm.

He was an Immortal of everlasting life.

Thus, what were significant secrets for cultivators from the Land of the Four Pillars were merely topics of idle chatter during his incarnational visits for such an Immortal as Greenwood.

“Wanchen would neither dare nor will take action, saying that listing my dear brother in the Spiritual Sacrifice Register is all he could do,” Crimson Spring Child spoke indifferently.

When facing Greenwood, he would address him as Daoist Friend.

But that Ancestor of the Wanchen Immortal Clan didn’t even deserve to be called Daoist Friend by Crimson Spring Child.

“Oh, since that’s the case, let me lend Daoist Friend Crimson Spring a helping hand! Those two descendants in the Ling Realm with Purple-Gold destiny have already lost their nerve. I shall present them with an opportunity; based on their destinies, they can indeed afford the cost,” Greenwood Immortal said, aware of Crimson Spring Child’s investment of an Immortal Sword and a spell of Immortal Fire.

This was a simple plot of using others to carry out his schemes.

Yet, plans could not always keep up with changes. Crimson Spring Child had already spoon-fed opportunities directly to those two individuals, but under panic, they instead thought of approaching Crimson Spring’s very own brother.

“Even if Daoist Friend Greenwood gifts those two descendants with Purple-Gold destiny an opportunity, they will hardly match my dear brother,” Crimson Spring Child thus declared.

“Is it because of that faint trace of Chaotic Life Qi on him?” Greenwood Immortal shook his head upon this remark. “Although it involves the Path of Destiny, it is ultimately not an Immortal Treasure of destiny. Even if it can disrupt fate, it can merely rampage in the Mortal Realm.”

Though he had only glanced briefly at Tan Shuchang, the faint influence of the Chaotic Life Dharma Bead on him had also been noticed by Greenwood Immortal.

Because Greenwood Immortal also had some involvement with the Path of Destiny.

In the early days, Greenwood Immortal even intended to achieve immortality through the Path of Destiny, but later found this path not only extremely difficult but also with limited places. Since advancement from above was blocked, he couldn’t advance and had to give up, switching to cultivate the Wood Path related to his own essence.

This Wood Realm indeed owes its name due to Greenwood Immortal achieving immortality through the Wood Path long ago!

“Then Daoist Friend Greenwood, can you sense the exact whereabouts of my dear brother now?” Crimson Spring Child asked with a peculiar tone, already aware of that faint trace of Chaotic Life Qi, and even initially thought the same until he discovered he could not pinpoint Tan Shuchang’s whereabouts…

Just like that instant before the blood light scattered, when Tan Shuchang had vanished out of thin air, almost as if he had left the Land of the Four Pillars altogether.

“Eh?”

As Greenwood Immortal responded and immediately grew dubious. Because indeed, he couldn’t find even a trace of Crimson Spring’s younger brother.

However, this wasn’t the actual reason for his uncertainty.

His reaction was entirely because he discovered that the manner in which his disciple, Lian Yue, disappeared bore an extreme similarity to how Crimson Spring’s younger brother vanished!

Thus, Greenwood Immortal’s tone grew colder: “Daoist Friend Crimson Spring, you better compensate me with another disciple, or I can’t guarantee I won’t take action! Your dear brother has overreached…”
