The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 909 - 499: Resistance

Ning Xiaoxian looked at him, her eyes subtly showing pity: "Actually, even if I don’t explain, Sect Leader must have guessed it, right?"

Langya did not respond; his gaze fixed on her was already filled with killing aura. Being a sect leader, none are fools. Even though he did not understand the Power of Growth like Gongshu Zhao, he had pondered this matter repeatedly since Ning Xiaoxian left and gradually came to understand it. The Hidden Guards Ning Xiaoxian had taken with her were dozens; when they returned months later, they showed no signs of discomfort? Clearly, her method had already worked. And to remove the curse from so many at once, even using Enchanting Soup, there could not be that many bowls.

What was the most likely method she used? Easily, without damaging the Primordial Energy, what was the way to remove the curse? The answer was almost self-evident. Yet, he had been unwilling to acknowledge it, always harboring a glimmer of hope.

"That would be Lord Ba Snake personally removing the curse from the Hidden Guards." Ning Xiaoxian spoke clearly, "The one who ties the bell must untie it; Lord Langya has lived longer than I, surely understands this principle more comprehensively than I do. If you want to remove the curse from yourself, then come with me to meet Lord Ba Snake!"

To meet Ba Snake himself?! Langya only felt his throat dry, his mouth filled with bitterness. As the Hidden Stream Sect Leader, he was managing this Demon Sect on behalf of Lord Divine Monarch. As a subordinate, being summoned by Ba Snake was supremely legitimate. But Langya had painstakingly managed Hidden Stream for so long, keenly aware that the result of the meeting would be his power being taken away, and himself under the control of others!

What for, what for! What for, after striving for freedom for thousands of years, he still could not obtain it?! Why have so many Hidden Stream Sect Leaders changed, yet when it came to him, he must relinquish his power?

He was unwilling, he was indignant!

Langya’s heart sank, but he calmly replied: "How do I know your words are not deceiving me?"

Gongshu Zhao stood by, smiling bitterly: "Miss Ning’s words are true. If you don’t believe it, I can testify for her, and indeed I have met Lord Changtian himself."

Langya did not even look at him and merely snorted coldly.

"Lord Langya cannot kill me. I represent Lord Ba Snake’s interests; if you intend to harm me, even just thinking about it, the Power of Ba Snake within you will stop you." Ning Xiaoxian looked at him, her eyes shining, "Sect Leader, you have not yet acted. Perhaps it’s not that you don’t want to, but you simply can’t, right? Hmm, by not acting until now, doesn’t it actually show you have already believed my words, right?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

At this moment, twenty meters away, He Sect Leader slowly stepped out from the shadow of a giant tree. Behind him were the Hidden Guards who had once accompanied Ning Xiaoxian to Great Snow Mountain. Langya looked at them and suddenly exhaled long: "Since you calculated Jiu Mo, you had also planned how to deal with me today, right?"

He turned to face Ning Xiaoxian, his eyes cold: "You actually dared to bring them before me! Although I can’t move against you, I can slaughter them all. Let’s see how you will fight me over the sect leader position without these helpers!"

Having successfully crossed tribulation, he was stronger in combat than anyone present. Ning Xiaoxian’s expression slightly shifted before returning to normal: "So, Sect Leader Langya plans to stay within Hidden Stream for a lifetime, abandoning your original intention to break free from the Power of Ba Snake?"

If he killed everyone present, Ning Xiaoxian and Changtian certainly wouldn’t remove the curse for him. Langya sneered: "Lord Ba Snake must be inconvenienced now; otherwise, he would be standing here himself. Thus, with only a little girl like you, what do I have to fear? Even if I can’t kill you, I can imprison you in Hidden Stream until you find a way to convince Lord Divine Monarch to remove my constraints!"

As soon as those words fell, the pressure from his body suddenly unleashed, towering, formidable, overwhelming everyone with heaviness on their hearts, making it almost impossible to breathe, bodies trapped as if in a quagmire, even lifting a hand became doubly difficult. Tu Jin and He Sect Leader’s faces changed, for even they couldn’t escape. The level of Cultivators before and after crossing tribulation is indeed worlds apart.

While pursuing Duanmu Yan, Langya’s performance was unimpressive, some even privately remarked he did not seem up to the standard of an Immortal, but now they realized, at that time he merely hesitated, fearing Duanmu Yan might destroy the Enchanting Soup, thus dared not force him too tightly.
