Chapter 713: Chapter 713 We Are The Same Kind of People_1

"Who are you, and why are you helping me?" the bearded man murmured to himself.

He wasn’t a fool. He knew that the recovery of his damaged spiritual foundation was likely related to the jug of wine in his arms.

But his questions were destined to go unanswered for now.

It was only on a day far in the future, when the bearded man, by then an Immortal Venerable, witnessed The Supreme Emperor ruling over the world, that he finally understood.

Back then, the young man he had met was none other than Xu Qingfeng, the Human Emperor who had broken the curse upon the Human Race.

"Run! What are you standing around for?" the owner of an Elixir Shop in the Supply City roared when he saw the bearded man still standing there dumbfounded. "The heavens are changing!"

"Yes, the heavens have indeed changed."

The bearded man took another large swig of wine.

Then, shielding his eyes from the rather dazzling sunlight, he smiled. "Look, the sky has cleared."

...

One day passed, then two, then three.

The nine Immortal Venerables, led by the Holy Master of the Divine Thunder Pavilion, found no trace of Xu Lai. They even began to suspect that this powerhouse of the Human Race had secretly left the Forbidden Land long ago.

"Damn it."

The Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master of the Ninth Domain clenched his fist, his expression ghastly.

The Snowflower had borne fruit. They had seen the signs early on and had plotted for a full three hundred years for this moment.

And the result?

Just as the fruit was about to ripen, someone had picked it. Not only was the spiritual fruit gone, but the Snowflower itself had died as a result.

Three days had passed. The outside world must have already learned of the disturbance in the Snowflower Forbidden Grounds. In two or three more days at most, a large number of Immortal Venerables would arrive to investigate.

The Heavenly Court’s Fourth Divine General, Yan Chunfeng, was stationed in the Southern Immortal Domain. She would certainly not miss such a major event.

Among the newcomers, there might even be Quasi-Emperors.

"AAAHHH!"

In a fit of rage, the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master shattered a massive mountain before him with a single palm strike. With a deafening roar, the mountain dissolved into dust and vanished.

Just as the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master was investigating in another direction, he spotted a figure flying swiftly toward him from the distance.

Before he could get a good look, the figure flashed and was gone.

The Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master’s pupils constricted. THUMP.

In that fleeting glimpse, it looked like that Immortal Venerable from the Human Race!

He immediately bellowed, "Stop!"

Seeing the figure didn’t stop, the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master pulled a positioning Jade Slip from his robes, crushed it, and shot off in pursuit as a streak of light.

Soon, however, cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the Demon Master, who was at the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm. The other party was simply too fast.

Even at full speed, he couldn’t keep up and could only watch helplessly as the figure grew more and more distant.

Suddenly, the figure stopped.

Overjoyed, the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master held nothing back and sped over.

Panting, he came to a stop and immediately gripped an Immortal-grade Spirit Stone, absorbing the Spiritual Energy within.

He stared intently at the figure before him, spitting out each word, "It really is you!"

Xu Lai said nothing.

His gaze fell to the ground, where a tiny, inconspicuous fragment of a Jade Slip, no bigger than a baby’s fingernail, lay.

"A fragment of a Heavenly Soldier’s life-token from the Heavenly Court..." Xu Lai said softly. "After searching for three days, I’ve finally found a clue."

The Demon Master’s pupils shrank. He suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed as he grew anxious, wondering why Lei Fengyun and the others had not yet arrived.

Meanwhile, Xu Lai solemnly picked up the token fragment and held it in his palm, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

The Heavenly Soldiers disappeared outside the million-li boundary of the Forbidden Land. Yet this is deep within the hundred-thousand-li region. How could Heavenly Soldiers, only at the Divine Bridge Realm, have made it this deep into the Forbidden Land? The only ones capable of bringing them here... would be the few peak Immortal Venerables within the Forbidden Land.

Xu Lai’s gaze turned icy as he looked at the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master. "So it was you who killed the Heavenly Court’s Heavenly Soldiers." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Ridiculous! Why would we, as proud Immortal Venerables, stoop so low as to target mere Heavenly Soldiers?"

The Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master abandoned his human form and reverted to his true self—a three-zhang-tall golden bear. Its entire body gleamed, its fur looking as if it were forged from metal.

The Golden Armored Holy Bear.

It was a famous name among the Demon Race. Its fur shone like golden armor, and few cultivators of the same realm could pierce its defenses, earning it a reputation as one of the most terrifying demon cultivators.

By reverting to his true form, the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master was clearly preparing for battle.

Xu Lai said no more.

He tossed the Jade Slip fragment into the air.

The Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master froze. What is this?

A screen of light appeared before him, images flowing rapidly across it. It was the Retrocognition Technique.

Cold sweat beaded on the Demon Master’s forehead. It wasn’t that he feared the human powerhouse before him, but that he was worried the man would see the truth, flee, and inform The Supreme Emperor of the Heavenly Court... If that happened, it would spell doom for the Golden Armored Holy Bear clan.

"Die!"

The Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master roared, swinging a massive paw down at Xu Lai.

In an instant, the void cracked. All the mountain ranges within a hundred li crumbled as a world-destroying aura swept over them.

Xu Lai ignored the Demon Master’s attack, his eyes fixed on the light screen.

Within the images of the past, three figures could be seen. One was the Golden Armored Holy Bear before him, another was the Holy Master of the Divine Thunder Pavilion, Lei Fengyun, and the third was the Holy Master of the Immortal Terrace from the Fifth Domain.

Each of them held more than a dozen human cultivators.

At that time, the Snowflower had not yet vanished, and the Forbidden Land was still a world of ice and snow. For the Heavenly Soldiers, who were only at the Divine Bridge Realm, this was a place of certain death.

The moment they were without the protection of an Immortal Venerable, the thirty-six Heavenly Soldiers died violent deaths.

Their thirty-six souls left their bodies, intending to drift toward the Samsara Sea, but Lei Fengyun snatched the fragile souls and crushed them into dust. Then, the Holy Master of the Divine Thunder Pavilion swept the corpses of the Heavenly Soldiers into his storage space. After that, the images faded.

At that moment, the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master’s horrifying palm strike came crashing down.

Seeing the human Immortal Venerable still made no move to dodge, a cruel glint appeared in the Demon Master’s eyes, and he poured another thirty percent of his spiritual energy into the attack.

This strike contained not only unparalleled brute force but also a mental assault. Even a Quasi-Emperor who had just entered the first heaven of their realm would be grievously wounded if caught unprepared!

But shock quickly flooded the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master’s face.

His paw had frozen a zhang from the man’s head, stopped by what felt like an invisible barrier.

"You people... If you have a problem, you can come after me. You can go after Yan Chunfeng. You could even target a Celestial Venerable."

Xu Lai’s voice was very soft. "But for peak Immortal Venerables to ambush and murder thirty-six Heavenly Soldiers who were only at the Divine Bridge Realm... Have you no shame?"

His voice was so soft it filled the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master’s heart with an infinite sense of dread.

"What do you know? Those Heavenly Soldiers had sensed something was wrong with the Snowflower Forbidden Grounds. They had to be killed, or they would have caused endless trouble," the Golden Armored Holy Bear Demon Master said coldly. "Besides, didn’t you also bring Shen Qing as an offering to join us? You even sacrificed her to the Snowflower.

"Heh, the Shen Family once spent a fortune on the Immortal Domain’s black market to buy a Snowflower leaf for their Pearl, refining it into her Lifebound Magic Treasure.

"Human powerhouse, do you think that old fossil from the Shen Family, who doesn’t have much time left, will spare you when he learns that you killed Shen Qing?

"We are cut from the same cloth!"

The Demon Master’s words dripped with menace. "If you hand over the Snowflower’s spiritual fruit now, I can speak for the others, and we will let bygones be bygones."
