483: Suppress with a flip of the hand

Tian Yidao, who had been closely observing Wind Jade’s expression, saw his face suddenly change and his heart sank. He quickly followed Wind Jade’s gaze.

Below, on the unassuming mountainside of a small hill, a young man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. His eyes, burning brightly, stared directly at their Immortal Ship. That gaze… it was as if a hunter had finally waited for his anticipated prey by the trap.

Tian Yidao subconsciously activated his Divine Sense to probe, but the result sent a chill through him—his Divine Sense swept over that area, yet it was completely Void Realm!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have been able to perceive that there was a person standing there!

“This… how is this possible?!” Tian Yidao roared in horror internally. “The target isn’t a Quasi-Immortal? Even if he passed the Heavenly Tribulation, at most he’d be a True Immortal! I am a Heavenly Immortal at the Peak, how could I not even perceive his existence?!”

This could absolutely not be a True Immortal!

The Golden Immortal Wind Jade, who was in front, though not completely unable to perceive him like Tian Yidao, felt an even greater sense of shock and doubt in his heart.

Not only could he not see through the depth of the green-robed young man’s cultivation, but the moment their gazes met, his Spiritual Altar Immortal Soul spontaneously sent out an extremely subtle yet undeniable tremor—that was the instinctive warning that only arose when facing a threat of the same level or even higher!

“This person… is strange!” Wind Jade’s expression was solemn.

He knew that some Heaven-Defying individuals, with profound foundations, could break through several realms consecutively after ascending to Immortality, reaching the True Immortal Middle Stage or even Late Stage.

The other party was a Reincarnation of a Heavenly Grade Spirit Refiner, so possessing Heavenly Immortal strength in a short time was not outrageous.

But who was he? He was a Golden Immortal!

He was an existence that could be called a pillar in the Central Immortal Domain, capable of establishing an Immortal Domain Family!

Not to mention that the other party had only ascended to Immortality a month ago, at most a Heavenly Immortal. Even if the other party was a Profound Immortal, he was confident he could suppress him with a flip of his hand!

“Hmph, playing tricks!” Wind Jade suppressed the unease in his heart, let out a cold snort, and stepped out of the Immortal Ship.

Space rippled, and the next moment he appeared like a phantom three zhang in front of Xiao Zhuo, still with his hands behind his back, having resumed his high and mighty posture, his tone cold and arrogant:

“Your Excellency is quite sensible, actually waiting here for this Lord’s arrival.” He looked Xiao Zhuo up and down, as if examining goods that were easily obtainable. “Given your sensibility, this Lord will be merciful and spare you the pain of the flesh. Restrain your Immortal Infant yourself and return with me to the Central Immortal Domain to await your fate.”

Xiao Zhuo looked at the other party’s self-important posture, as if he controlled everything, and couldn’t help but find it a little amusing.

As early as when Wind Jade’s Immortal Ship entered the range of his Divine Sense, he had already perceived everything.

A Golden Immortal Early Stage, five Heavenly Immortals—such a lineup to capture a small fry who was at most in the True Immortal Realm was indeed a grand gesture, and no wonder the other party was so confident.

He hadn’t deliberately hidden his aura; it was simply that the disparity in cultivation between them was too great, and coupled with his re-cultivation of the Free and Natural Heavenly Art, his aura was inherently restrained and profound. How could a mere Golden Immortal Early Stage see through it?

Tian Yidao, on the Immortal Ship behind, felt a little relieved seeing his Lord so domineering. He was just about to fly forward to express his loyalty again and flatter him a few times—

A sudden change occurred!

The green-robed young man, upon hearing Wind Jade’s words, his smile remained unchanged. He flipped his right hand, which was originally behind his back, and gently grabbed towards Wind Jade.

In an instant, the Void Realm around Wind Jade seemed to solidify!

Dozens of different Dao phantoms appeared out of thin air, intertwined, forming an invisible giant hand that contained terrifying power. Without allowing any resistance, it directly seized his entire body, lifting him like a chicken and bringing him directly in front of Xiao Zhuo!

The entire process was so fast it exceeded everyone’s reaction limit!

“Heh heh.” Xiao Zhuo looked at Wind Jade, who was held in his palm with a face full of utter horror, his tone as relaxed as if he were chatting with an old friend, “This Lord, seeing that you are so sensible and delivered yourself… will spare you the torment and give you a quick death, how about it?”

His voice was clear and calm, but the content of his words made the five Silver Edict Celestial Envoys on the Immortal Ship, including Tian Yidao, feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, chilling them from head to toe!

Tian Yidao and the others were dumbfounded, their minds blank.

Lord Wind Jade… he was a Golden Immortal!

He was their greatest reliance on this trip!

The intelligence said the target was at most True Immortal cultivation, what exactly was going on?!

Just a Quasi-Immortal a month ago, and now he can capture a Golden Immortal with a raise of his hand?! Has this world gone mad?!

Wind Jade, tightly gripped by the invisible giant hand, felt a hundred times more shock in his heart than anyone else!

In that instant, he felt as if he wasn’t facing a person, but the crushing weight of the entire heaven and earth!

His proud Cloud Dao, which he had just comprehended, was completely suppressed without even a trace being activated!

His Immortal Qi all around him was like stagnant water, firmly locked by more than a dozen incomparably powerful, at least High-level, Dao powers!

Each Dao power made him feel as insignificant as an ant!

Driving more than a dozen High-level Daos with bare hands? What kind of monster was this?!

Wait… driving Daos???

“You… you are a Golden Immortal?! And… comprehended multiple Daos?!” Wind Jade’s face turned purple, and he struggled to squeeze out these words from his throat, his eyes filled with absurdity and disbelief.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and nodded, not denying it, his tone still calm: “You are also a Heaven Patrol Guard from the Wind Emissary Lineage?”

Wind Jade wanted to be tough, but from the other party’s calm tone, he clearly perceived a faint, yet soul-freezing, cold killing intent.

He had no doubt that if he hesitated or resisted even slightly, he would be annihilated in the next moment, and even the imprints entrusted in the Dao would be erased by the other party with terrifying means!

Between life and death, great terror descended.

“Se… Senior!” Wind Jade spoke with extreme difficulty, choosing to yield, “Junior Wind Jade, from a collateral branch of the Gu Feng City Feng Family, currently… currently a Golden Edict Celestial Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Guard.”

“What is the Wind Envoy’s current cultivation?” Xiao Zhuo’s tone revealed no emotion.

Wind Jade was startled. Although he didn’t understand the meaning, he still answered honestly: “Replying to Senior, Lord Wind Envoy was already in the Grand Unity Middle Stage ten thousand years ago. As for now… Junior’s status is too low, I truly do not know.”

“Grand Unity Immortal King, huh…” Xiao Zhuo nodded thoughtfully.

His gaze casually swept over the Immortal Ship behind Wind Jade.

Tian Yidao and the other five Silver Edict Celestial Envoys immediately felt as if they were being stared at by an ancient Vicious Beast. Their entire Immortal Qi stagnated, their bodies prickled with pain, and boundless fear gripped them.

One of them, his Dao Heart collapsing, let out a cry and, disregarding everything, burned his Immortal Foundation, transforming into a blazing white streak of light and frantically fled towards the distant sky!

Xiao Zhuo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Right by Wind Jade’s ear, a Chaos-colored Spirit Group light cluster appeared without warning.

The next instant!

“Whoosh—!”

A sharp, unparalleled Chaos light ray, entwined with destructive aura, shot out almost grazing Wind Jade’s temple, instantly tearing through the sky!

The fleeing Heavenly Immortal had only escaped ten li before being overtaken by the Chaos light ray, which arrived later but faster.

The light ray, like a living spirit snake, gently coiled and constricted!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dazzling but fatal flash of light.

That Heavenly Immortal, along with his protective Immortal Artifact, and even his Immortal Infant and Divine Soul, were silently cut, decomposed, and annihilated in an instant, turning into the finest particles and dissipating into the air.

Annihilated in body and soul!

The remaining four, including Tian Yidao, stood frozen in place, their faces ashen, their breathing almost stopped.

Even Wind Jade, whose throat was gripped, felt his heart pounding wildly, his soul nearly fleeing his body!

He hadn’t even felt the other party mobilize Immortal Qi! That terrifying attack seemed to be purely formed by Divine Thought in an instant, drawing upon the blessing of the Great Dao!

A wisp of Divine Thought, capable of instantly killing a Heavenly Immortal fleeing at full power?!

What kind of incredible method was this?!

“This Lord has not yet permitted you to leave.” Xiao Zhuo’s voice remained calm, showing no trace of anger, yet it was more chilling than any roar, “Such disrespect for rules… is not good.”

He seemed to have merely swatted a buzzing fly, his gaze returning to the ashen-faced Wind Jade, and said faintly:

“Now, give me a reason not to crush all of you to death immediately.”

Wind Jade’s pupils constricted, his Immortal Soul frantically operating, his will to survive overriding everything.

He knew that his next sentence would determine the life and death of himself and all his subordinates behind him!
