Chapter 1479: Chapter 1479: Mission Failed
"Swish!"
Xu Nian’s figure appeared in the outside world.
Feeling the air outside, Xu Nian immediately felt incredibly refreshed.
After strengthening his body and cultivation, he felt much lighter overall.
"Let’s see how fast I am now," Xu Nian said with a smile.
With that, he took a step forward.
This step took Xu Nian directly eight hundred miles away.
"Such speed, it’s almost no different from instant teleportation," Xu Nian said with delight.
At that moment, he clearly felt everything whiz by him.
The feeling of riding the wind to the extreme was exhilarating.
"It’s time to return to Fengyang City," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
However, just as Xu Nian was about to leave, a figure turned into a stream of light and appeared in front of him.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe.
"Xu Nian, I didn’t expect to find you here," the middle-aged man’s eyes became fervent as he looked at Xu Nian.
"And you are?" Xu Nian looked at the middle-aged man before him.
He realized that the middle-aged man’s cultivation had reached the Early Stage Immortal Sovereign.
"My master is Tianhua Immortal Emperor. You were the one who killed Lei Lie and Mo Mountain, right?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.
"That’s correct, I killed them, but they deserved it," Xu Nian replied.
"It’s good that you killed them, now prepare to die!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly and immediately took action.
As soon as he attacked, he unleashed the powerful might of an Immortal Sovereign, sealing Xu Nian.
It seemed he was afraid Xu Nian would escape.
Then a powerful wave of Thunder Attribute Law erupted from him.
A Thunder Spear formed directly in his hand.
"Buzz!"
The Thunder Spear emitted a powerful aura of destruction.
Xu Nian smiled slightly.
This Immortal Sovereign attacked with lethal intent from the start.
It seemed he wasn’t just seeking revenge for his junior brother.
But at that moment, the middle-aged man’s attack seemed so weak to him.
"Buzz!"
Activating the Divine Talisman Dagger, it instantly turned into a stream of light, piercing through the Immortal Sovereign’s abdomen and his Immortal Embryo.
"You..." The Immortal Sovereign’s face showed extreme shock.
His face was full of strong resentment.
He had originally thought he could easily kill Xu Nian and seize those five Divine Artifacts and the Godhood.
But now it seemed he was wrong.
The fat sheep before him seemed not so weak.
"Didn’t the information you received tell you that I killed Gong Wen from Haotian Sect, Dragon Rock from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Lu Ming from Fuyao Sect?" Xu Nian asked with a smile, looking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Any one of those three was stronger than him.
Damn, he even had Divine Power Liquid, yet he didn’t use it out of arrogance.
"Thud!"
This Early Stage Immortal Sovereign collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.
Xu Nian looked at the middle-aged man’s corpse with no trace of sympathy.
Since these people wanted to kill him to seize treasures, they had to be prepared to be killed.
If one day he accidentally got killed, no one would sympathize with him; his enemies might even laugh wildly over his corpse.
That’s reality.
"It seems that the Immortal Realm already knows I have five Divine Artifacts and a Godhood, but they don’t know my true strength," Xu Nian laughed.
For him, this was a great advantage.
These people didn’t know his true strength, so they would rush in when they tried to kill him.
If they really thought of him as an easy target, they should be prepared to die instead.
"This place isn’t safe for long."
Xu Nian sensed a few powerful presences approaching.
So he immediately turned into a stream of light and departed.
Of course, before leaving, he didn’t forget to take the storage ring from the Immortal Sovereign.
After all, Divine Power Liquid was valuable.
After that, he encountered no obstacles.
Only once did an Independent Immortal at the Immortal King Level notice Xu Nian and seemingly tried to stop him.
But Xu Nian punched him to pieces.
Now, unless a Middle-stage Immortal Sovereign appeared, he couldn’t be stopped.
Soon, Xu Nian arrived at Fengyang City.
To avoid attention, Xu Nian changed his aura and appearance.
After all, he had a mission, and some dangers should be avoided.
Soon, Xu Nian found the inn where the Divine Demon Avatars were staying.
During this time, the Divine Demon Avatars had been in seclusion, so they hadn’t interacted with the Gongsun family trio.
Clearly, Gongsun Ling, Gongsun Qing, and Gongsun Wan’er already knew about Xu Nian’s situation.
Xu Nian arrived at the courtyard, retrieved the Divine Demon Avatars back into the Chaos Divine Palace, and then went to the residence of the Gongsun trio.
"Grandpa Ling, Xu Nian actually has five Divine Artifacts and a Godhood. A Godhood! He undoubtedly gained a tremendous opportunity from Fengyang Lake," Gongsun Qing said with emotion.
He was almost mad with jealousy.
Xu Nian was already extraordinary, and now he had five Divine Artifacts.
And he also had a Godhood.
With Godhood, one could become a god.
Doesn’t that mean Xu Nian now had the qualification to become a god?
How could he not be jealous?
"I also heard about this. Mr. Xu truly is a man of destiny," Gongsun Ling couldn’t help but express.
In Gongsun Ling’s view, Xu Nian’s achievements could only be described as miraculous.
"Grandpa Ling, if we notify the ancestral Immortal Emperor within our family..." Gongsun Qing suggested.
"Shut your mouth. Don’t say such things. Mr. Xu saved our lives several times. Have you forgotten?" Gongsun Ling immediately reprimanded.
"Yes, brother, Brother Xu Nian saved us several times," Gongsun Wan’er chimed in.
"Humph, that was his duty. Even if we don’t act, we’ll definitely face relentless pursuit along the way, and we’ll only get dragged down with him," Gongsun Qing retorted coldly.
"Enough, young master. You better not speak of this again. Do not oppose Mr. Xu. We should consider it a great fate if we can ally with him," Gongsun Ling advised.
"Humph, fate is nothing. True strength is what matters," Gongsun Qing sneered.
"Is that so? If you truly desire the Divine Artifacts and Godhood, come and take them then."
At that moment, a cold voice sounded.
Gongsun Qing’s back instantly turned cold with fear as he looked at Xu Nian.
Gongsun Ling’s face also changed drastically, and he hurriedly shielded Gongsun Qing: "Mr. Xu, the young master was just temporarily possessed by mischief. Please don’t hold it against him."
"Brother Xu Nian, my brother didn’t mean to," Gongsun Wan’er pleaded.
Xu Nian chuckled lightly.
"I know that if he had truly done something, I wouldn’t have just said a few words. However, I can no longer continue with your protection mission," Xu Nian said with a light laugh.
"Mr. Xu?" Gongsun Ling’s face changed.
"Elder Ling, I will apply to Shendang Mountain for a failed mission this time, so your payment will be refunded by Shendang Mountain. From now on, you must continue on your own," Xu Nian said, leaving behind only this remark.
The next moment, his figure vanished from the courtyard.
Seeing Xu Nian leave, Gongsun Qing collapsed to the ground.
Gongsun Ling could only shake his head helplessly, sighing repeatedly.
The Gongsun family had lost the opportunity to connect with a future powerhouse for nothing.
