89: destiny

While Zhou Kaiding fell into a coma, Liu Wenyan's figure appeared outside Qingyuan Town, transforming into a blood-red light, avoiding areas guarded by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

He traveled all the way, encountering Cultivators and Mortals, and before they could even beg for mercy, Liu Wenyan refined them all.

As a result, with the help of Medicinal Pills, Liu Wenyan's injuries showed a slight improvement.

"Damn Zhou Kaiding, next time you won't be so lucky."

He was actually injured by an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and forced to flee in disarray. If those ignorant people hadn't mistaken Immortal techniques for evil methods, he would have definitely been able to exhaust Zhou Kaiding to death.

"Hmph, and that Mo Xuan, once I advance further, I'll make you my mount."

Liu Wenyan felt displeased, his eyes bloodshot, becoming increasingly violent.

He galloped for a long time.

"Hmm?"

"Mortal city?"

Liu Wenyan's heart was filled with joy. Confirming his location, and noting there were no Foundation Establishment Stage forces nearby, he felt a little relieved.

"Oh ~"

"This must be Old Ancestor's Opportunity."

Refining everyone in this city should fully heal his injuries.

Liu Wenyan's heart was clear. He turned his body, no longer concealing his Aura, and flew towards the Mortal city.

"Greetings, Immortal!"

Seeing Liu Wenyan flying from afar in the sky, the Mortals in the city knelt in unison, shouting in joy.

An Immortal coming here must be to select Disciples. In this way, perhaps they still had an immortal fate/opportunity in this life.

Thoughts raced through everyone's minds; some thought this, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

Liu Wenyan's figure stopped, hovering above the city.

This city was named: Zhengyang.

"Zhengyang, Zhengyang..."

"This city truly has a connection with me."

Liu Wenyan looked at the city's name, secretly delighted.

He cultivated the Sun-Shining Art, wielded the sun-shining mirror, and this city was Zhengyang City, which perfectly aligned with him.

"I have come here with an immortal fate/opportunity. I wonder if you all are willing?"

"immortal fate/opportunity?"

The people in the city exclaimed in surprise, looking at each other, their eyes overflowing with wild joy.

"Willing, willing..."

"Immortal, look at me..."

"Immortal..."

Upon hearing this, the Mortals in the city scrambled, each one eager to be first, fearing that this Opportunity would be snatched by others.

"Hmph!"

Liu Wenyan snorted coldly, his Aura subtly spreading out, suppressing all the clamor in the city.

"As expected of an Immortal, such power..."

"If only I could be like that, it would be wonderful..."

Startled by this Aura, everyone in the city became silent, filled with awe.

"This immortal fate/opportunity is for everyone, no need to fight."

Liu Wenyan's expression was gentle, displaying an Immortal's demeanor. His voice was not loud, yet it spread throughout the entire city.

Everyone was surprised, not understanding what kind of Opportunity it was that could allow everyone in the city to obtain an immortal fate/opportunity.

"Come, become one with me."

While everyone in the city was surprised, Liu Wenyan's eyes gradually became intoxicated, and he murmured.

"Sea of Blood."

A blood-red halo spread out, enveloping the entire city.

The Sea of Blood confined them, and their blood reversed.

"No!"

"I don't want it anymore..."

The Mortals in the city, their blood flying out, their bodies shriveled, turning into mummified corpses, with traces of shock, joy, and fear on their faces, varied and numerous.

All the blood gathered, condensing into a blood sphere. Although it couldn't compare to the blood spheres formed from Lake Heart Island Market and the Wang Family, it was still quite good.

With this harvest, his foul mood caused by Zhou Kaiding was finally somewhat alleviated.

Just as Liu Wenyan was refining the Mortals of Zhengyang City, a rapidly moving figure suddenly stopped far from Zhengyang City, its Aura not apparent.

"Liu Wenyan?"

The figure revealed itself to be Mo Xuan and Zhou Leren, who had rushed back from Qianmo Valley.

Zhou Leren looked at Mo Xuan with some doubt, not knowing why Old Ancestor had suddenly stopped, but he did not speak to ask at this time.

"You wait here first, I'll be right back."

Mo Xuan separated a stream of magical power, sending Zhou Leren to the ground.

Zhou Leren nodded repeatedly, found a hidden spot, and hid.

Mo Xuan concealed his Aura and quietly flew towards Zhengyang City.

Outside Zhengyang City, Mo Xuan's figure appeared, looking at Liu Wenyan, who was floating in mid-air, drawing the blood of everyone in the city.

Mo Xuan's eyes were unusual.

He thought to himself: If you hid on Canshu Peak, with the Liu Family's foundation and the protection of the Great Formation, I might not have been able to do anything to you. However, now... cultivating evil methods, you deserve to die.

Looking at the blood sphere before him, Liu Wenyan's face was intoxicated. He then took a light breath, swallowing it into his abdomen.

But before he could savor the wonderful sensation, a huge, dark serpent's tail had already arrived before his eyes.

Liu Wenyan's alarm bells rang loudly, but he couldn't avoid it. He could only set up layers of fire walls, his body enveloped in blood Qi, transforming into a blood sphere.

"Bang!"

The serpent's tail was powerful and heavy, shattering the fire walls and the blood sphere in one blow, striking directly at Liu Wenyan.

"Pfft ~"

Liu Wenyan's face suddenly turned pale, and the fresh blood he spat out was even more than what he had refined from the city's inhabitants.

His body flew backward, Liu Wenyan barely suppressed his internal injuries, circulated his magical power, stopped his body, and with a flick of his hand, the sun-shining mirror appeared.

However, before Liu Wenyan could make a move, the serpent's tail struck again.

"Setting Sun."

Liu Wenyan quickly formed a hand seal, and the bronze mirror changed.

"Bang!"

The serpent's tail was too fast. Before the bronze mirror could fully deploy, it was struck by the serpent's tail and sent flying, smashing into the distance.

"Mo Xuan..."

"Damn it..."

Liu Wenyan's heart was heavy.

As the bronze mirror was struck away, several three-foot-long swords condensed out of thin air and shot towards Liu Wenyan.

"Myriad Transformations · Sword Rain."

"Sea of Blood."

Liu Wenyan's body was enveloped in a blood-red mist, forming a sea of blood. The long swords shot into it, their power greatly diminished.

"Boom!"

Before Liu Wenyan could breathe a sigh of relief, a thirty-foot-long dark python plunged into the sea of blood.

In just a few moves, the great serpent stirred the sea of blood into disarray.

The black great serpent swam out from the shattered sea of blood, coiling around Liu Wenyan's entire body, restraining him.

As the great serpent slowly exerted force, all of Liu Wenyan's defenses shattered, and his magical power circulated frantically, but it was to no avail.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, I am Liu Wenyan of the Liu Family. Please stop quickly."

Liu Wenyan's face flushed, his mind racing. He barely managed to shout out, his tone urgent.

"It is you I am hitting."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan subtly curled his lips, but said nothing, his body exerting more force, tightening another coil.

Liu Wenyan's face showed despair. His entire body turned bright red, blood vessels ruptured inch by inch, and all his blood spilled out, forming a blood-colored figure.

"Why?"

"Why does heaven treat me like this?"

"I possess Immortal techniques, I am destined to be a Golden Core True Person. I shouldn't die here..."

In his dying moments, Liu Wenyan's mouth only repeated this one sentence.

A moment later, Liu Wenyan's Aura dissipated, and his life force was cut off.

After sensing for a long time, Mo Xuan slowly relaxed and slowly uncoiled, revealing Liu Wenyan within.

Without Mo Xuan's restraint, Liu Wenyan drifted down like a kite with a broken string.

Mo Xuan's mind moved, and a stream of magical power lifted him, taking off his Storage Pouch, and then retrieving the sun-shining mirror that had been sent flying.

Only then did he release Liu Wenyan's corpse, allowing it to fall.

A stream of magical power surged out, and Liu Wenyan dissipated, turning into ashes, merging into heaven and earth.
