Undying Life

Chapter 135: Hongyun Town

"General Lei Ting, is that person dead?" Mr. Corpse asked.

"Damn it, that kid has some incredible luck, always managing to escape. This time, he even got me injured. It's only now that I've fully recovered," General Lei Ting replied, looking rather frustrated.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Corpse squinted his eyes and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said, "It seems that His Majesty's order for you to hunt him down is quite difficult. Why don't you return with me?"

"Nonsense! Is killing that pest difficult? I promised His Majesty that I would kill him. How can I face His Majesty if I return now?" General Lei Ting said angrily, still not showing proper respect to Mr. Corpse.

Mr. Corpse shot General Lei Ting a cold glance, then smiled slightly. "In that case, I wish you good luck, General."

"Hmph," General Lei Ting snorted.

Mr. Corpse then turned and swiftly flew away on his sword—

In the Dacheng Dynasty, Xuanjing, within the palace's Wolf God Hall.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~"

A thunderous roar emanated from the Wolf God Hall, so loud it seemed to reverberate throughout the entire capital.

Qingyun, the Wolf General, stared wide-eyed at Zhong Shan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him. Even this seasoned general, who had weathered countless storms, now had a bead of cold sweat on his forehead, looking at Zhong Shan in disbelief.

Zhong Shan sat in meditation. An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes, looking at the still-shocked Qingyun.

"Are you cultivating or playing with death?" Qingyun asked, swallowing hard.

Zhong Shan rose gently, not feeling anything amiss. Shaking his head, he said, "I must break through, and didn't I just break through? I'm now at the eighth level of the Xiantian stage."

Zhong Shan felt a slight sense of satisfaction. At the eighth level of the Xiantian stage, under the Heavenly Demon Refining Body Technique, he could now directly confront those at the early Jindan stage.

"Woo~~~~~~~~~~"

Outside the capital, a wolf's howl suddenly echoed, piercing through the air and reaching the Wolf God Hall.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shan furrowed his brow and turned to look at Qingyun, as if he had realized something.

Qingyun also furrowed his brow, then looked at Zhong Shan and said, "Congratulations, Lei Ting has appeared."

Upon confirmation, a fierce glint flashed in Zhong Shan's eyes. Finally, he had appeared. Good, good, good!

"What are you planning to do?" Qingyun asked.

"I've long been prepared, just waiting for Lei Ting to appear. Don't worry, I promised you wouldn't need to take action, and you won't. I'll arrange everything, and later, you just need to have a wolf lead me to Lei Ting," Zhong Shan said, taking a deep breath.

"Okay," Qingyun nodded.

Quickly, Zhong Shan stepped out of the Wolf God Hall and began making arrangements.

To deal with Lei Ting, he needed to tear him apart completely. This time, Zhong Shan would take the initiative. No one could provoke Zhong Shan and still live freely afterward, not even a Yuan Ying stage expert.

This time, Zhong Shan would personally bring down this lofty expert—

In the Dacheng Dynasty, to the north, there was a place called Hongyun Town.

Half a year ago, the Dacheng Dynasty began relocating the townsfolk. People within a thousand-mile radius were moved away. Now, the only presence there was the Dacheng Dynasty's army, guarding all around and preventing anyone from entering.

To the north of Hongyun Town was a massive mountain, or rather, a giant volcano. This volcano had been dormant for over two hundred years.

In Hongyun Town, there was a manor that Zhong Shan had previously owned. The manor was beautifully designed, and this time, Zhong Shan's goal was to use it to capture General Lei Ting.

To the south of Hongyun Town, there was another estate guarded by a large number of troops, including a thousand wolf cavalry. These wolf cavalry were extremely formidable, riding atop giant wolves, their imposing presence enough to frighten many horses.

Ying Lan, Wei Taizhong, Zhong Zheng, and Lin Xiao were all waiting outside the manor. Even Qingyun Wolf General was curious and came to see the army stationed outside the town. Qingyun Wolf General wanted to know how Zhong Shan would kill a Nascent Soul stage expert. A Nascent Soul stage expert, relying on these mortal troops? Ridiculous.

Zhong Shan said he would deal with General Lei Ting using the manor in the town?

Qingyun Wolf General looked at Ying Lan and the others, but each of their faces was filled with confidence, as if there was nothing Zhong Shan couldn't accomplish.

Turning back to glance at the manor, Qingyun Wolf General was full of doubt. Was he really so confident?

Meanwhile, in the deep mountains north of Hongyun Town, another bizarre event was unfolding.

In the sky, General Lei Ting was angrily chasing with his sword raised, while on the ground, Zhong Shan was running with utmost confidence.

From the beginning, when Zhong Shan faced General Lei Ting, he had covered his face with a black cloth. But did covering his face mean General Lei Ting wouldn't recognize him?

All the way, General Lei Ting never stopped his pursuit. Strangely, every time he was about to catch Zhong Shan, Zhong Shan suddenly disappeared?

Then Zhong Shan would reappear from another place, as if he could travel through mountains and earth. How could that be? He wasn't a zombie.

The more General Lei Ting thought about it, the angrier he became. This Zhong Shan had to die. He was only at the Xiantian stage and already so hard to kill. If his cultivation increased in the future, what would happen?

Although General Lei Ting was filled with anger, he wasn't blinded by it. As he pursued, he also observed his surroundings. There was no danger, no trap.

Gradually, the two of them entered a more open area from the deep mountains, a place inhabited by humans.

Standing atop a dormant volcano, General Lei Ting looked down at the swiftly moving shadow below, a cold smile playing on his lips. In the deep mountains, he didn't know what trick this pest used to dodge him time and again. Now, out of the mountains and in human society, let's see how he could still hide.

This place was also part of His Majesty's plan. Once the northern part of Tianlang Island was unified, they would flatten this area immediately.

Watching the receding shadow, General Lei Ting sneered coldly, stepping forward and flying towards Hongyun Town where Zhong Shan was heading.

Here, General Lei Ting no longer feared Zhong Shan escaping. Escape? Let's see you try!

In an instant, General Lei Ting appeared in the sky above Hongyun Town.

"Immortal?" some keen-eyed soldiers stationed at the southern estate outside Hongyun Town suddenly exclaimed.

An immortal, that person was flying in the sky, wasn't he?

They had received news earlier that this army was stationed outside Hongyun Town to surround and kill a strong opponent. A strong opponent? An immortal? His Majesty wanted to kill an immortal?

The soldiers were filled with shock.

Ying Lan, Lin Xiao, and the others took a deep breath. He's here, finally here.

Qingyun Wolf General was also staring intently at the thunderstorm in the distant sky. General Lei Ting had recovered to his peak state. The figure who had entered the city earlier, Qingyun Wolf General had seen it too, Zhong Shan? Zhong Shan had lured him here?

After stealthily entering Hongyun Town, Zhong Shan immediately slipped into the manor in the town and disappeared. However, all of this was within General Lei Ting's sight.

With a flip of his hand, General Lei Ting summoned a massive thunderball and hurled it toward the house Zhong Shan had entered.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

A gigantic bolt of lightning streaked through the sky, the thunderball crashing into the house, which exploded with a tremendous noise.

Outside the city, many of the defending soldiers felt a chill in their hearts.

The God of Thunder! That person was the God of Thunder! He must be an immortal from the heavens; otherwise, how could he summon such thunder?

Some soldiers were already panicking. Would accompanying His Majesty to kill the God of Thunder provoke his wrath and doom them all?

After the thunderball struck, the house was shattered, but Zhong Shan's body was nowhere to be found. Instead, beneath the ground, there was a tunnel, a dark and deep tunnel.

"Bastard~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

General Lei Ting roared in fury, his figure swiftly darting into the tunnel.

The God of Thunder was enraged. The God of Thunder was enraged?

While the army outside was in turmoil, a loud shout suddenly came from the manor behind them.

"Heaven and Earth, Summon!"

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a dull thud, a massive red wolf, twenty meters high, suddenly appeared within the manor.

Zhong Shan, clad in a robe adorned with nine dragons and clouds, stepped onto the giant red wolf.

Turning his head, Qingyun Wolf General looked incredulously at the massive red wolf. The eighth level of the Golden Core stage? Wouldn't that require all of Zhong Shan's true essence? But now, Zhong Shan seemed not to have expended any energy at all. Did he have a Bu Tian Dan (Heaven-Mending Pill)?

Moreover, when had Zhong Shan returned? Wasn't he in the distance just now? The tunnel?

A twenty-meter-tall wolf, as tall as a six-story building, brought immense shock to all the soldiers. Zhong Shan, standing atop the wolf's head, exuded an aura of dominance, looking down on all beings.

The enormous wolf indeed had a powerful impact, quickly calming the army's agitation. At this moment, everyone realized that their emperor was no ordinary person.

The red wolf, carrying Zhong Shan, slowly walked to the front of the manor.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The army bowed in unison.

Zhong Shan surveyed the soldiers and then turned his gaze to Wei Taizhong.

"Taizhong," Zhong Shan called.

"Your servant is here," Wei Taizhong immediately responded.

"Begin now," Zhong Shan said coldly.

"Yes," Wei Taizhong replied respectfully.

Wei Taizhong quickly moved away, while Zhong Shan, riding the mighty red wolf, slowly walked to the front of the army. He gazed coldly at the distant Hongyun Town.
