Chapter 269: Chapter 263: The Name of Su Mu Guides Them (Double Chapter)

Because I clearly felt a catch, but... after lifting the rod, I found no movement, yet the rod was bent.

For an experienced angler, it’s obvious it either got caught on the bottom or the hook snagged some weeds.

However, I was fishing mid-water, not bottom fishing. It shouldn’t catch on the bottom, let alone snag on weeds, as I was exerting enough force that even the toughest weeds would have snapped instantly.

At this moment, Su Mu said to the Immortal Crane nearby, "Can you dive in and take a look?"

Because Su Mu felt there was a catch, but feared it might be snagged on something hard like a rock, which could break the line or hook, making all efforts in vain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Immortal Crane dove into the lake with a swoop.

Soon, the fishing rod began to shake violently, tugging madly forward. Seeing this, Su Mu gripped the rod tightly.

After about a dozen breaths, the Immortal Crane came flying back to the shore, carrying something.

Approaching closer, Su Mu examined it carefully and his eyes lit up: "What a big lobster."

.....

This lobster was a full meter long, its shell was blood-red, and its claws were extremely exaggerated, with one claw nearly a quarter of its size. The claws were purplish-gold with a cold gleam.

The lobster’s tail was like a crescent blade, very aggressive.

The hook was actually caught by the giant red lobster’s claw.

It seems, in fact, that I had caught it earlier, but this lobster was so strong and clever that it didn’t struggle, creating the illusion for Su Mu that it was snagged on a rock.

Once the Immortal Crane entered the water, it panicked and struggled wildly, but could not escape, and was eventually captured by the Immortal Crane.

Judging by how it performed, this Immortal Crane’s fishing ability is incredibly strong!

The red lobster’s eyes were purple, looking fearfully at Su Mu, trying to escape, but the Immortal Crane’s claws pinned it down, preventing any movement.

"Tonight’s feast is secured."

This was the first time Su Mu caught such a large lobster, and it definitely wouldn’t be released.

For the rest of the day, Su Mu went into a fishing frenzy, continuously pulling up big catches. With the Immortal Crane’s assistance, the haul was immense, totaling ten big catches!

For the smaller ones, Su Mu simply released them.

"It’s getting late, let’s go."

Su Mu picked up the fishing rod, took the spoils, and led the Immortal Crane home.

....

In the Ten Thousand Realms, on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

This Hidden Dragon Continent is one of the worlds under the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, not part of the Immortal Domain, but just one among thousands of Great Worlds.

Outside a certain mountain range, a young man in black clothes, covered in blood, with wounds all over his body, had his right hand chopped off, blood continuously flowing.

The young man looked at the mountain range before him, gritted his teeth, and dashed in.

About a dozen minutes after the young man entered the mountain range, a handful of powerful cultivators arrived at the location, tracing the blood aura.

"Brother, it seems that kid ran into the Celestial Crow Mountain Range... should we chase him?" One of the cultivators asked the burly man in the lead.

"Of course we chase! We must kill him and take back the treasure!"

With that, a dozen figures rushed into the mountain, pursuing the young man by the trace of blood scent in the air.

The young man in black was pale, his sight was already blurred, his body swayed, as if he would collapse the next second, but he persevered with sheer willpower, continuing forward.....

Because when he left the estate, in pursuit of immortality.

His Uncle Zhang had told him: should he ever meet an enemy, with nowhere to hide in the outside world, he should flee into the Celestial Crow Mountain Range and keep heading east.

The black-haired youth was named Qin Yu, now twenty-four years old, already somewhat famous within the Eastern Domain, ranking among the top hundred on the Eastern Domain’s Hidden Dragon List by the age of twenty, with his cultivation reaching Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

On one occasion, he obtained a magical treasure from a secret, catching the attention of a powerful force within the Eastern Domain, which has been pursuing him ever since....

Qin Yu pushed on with sheer will, heading east, going and going.

Eventually, in this desolate, beast-infested mountain range, he stumbled upon a majestic temple.

For a moment, Qin Yu was stunned on the spot.

His mind recalled what his Uncle Zhang had once warned him: "If you encounter a temple, don’t be afraid, enter and hide."

"This temple is the highest symbol of the Hidden Dragon Continent, the ultimate faith. So long as you carry sincere intentions, I believe... Lord Main God will not fault you."

Step by step Qin Yu followed the stone steps toward the temple, each step sapping his strength, his body swaying as if it would collapse any moment.

Finally, upon crossing the threshold into the temple, he could persevere no longer and passed out....

...

Meanwhile, the dozen pursuers also arrived at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the temple atop it, and stopped.

"Brother, that kid... seems to have hidden himself in Lord Main God’s temple..."

"Should we force our way in?"

Just as those words were spoken, the leading burly man slapped the lean man who spoke, leaving him dumbfounded.

"Do you hear what you’re saying?"

"Killing and spilling blood within Lord Main God’s sacred temple, such disrespect! Do you want to single-handedly doom our entire Ancient Peace Sect?"

"Never thought there’d be a Lord Main God’s temple in these mountains, looks like that kid is in luck."
