115: Chapter 115 I'm Behind You

The space Laws of the Immortal Realm were completely different from those of the mortal world.

The space here was ridiculously tough.

A Golden Immortal throwing a punch with all their might would only manage to overturn a hundred miles of mountains and rivers.

But for Gui Ying, a Taiyi Golden Immortal Elder of the Corpse Immortal Sect, this place was the perfect hiding spot.

He possessed a Sect treasure called the Ghost-Shadow Immortal Robe.

This garment was not a physical entity; it was woven from the primordial Law of Shadows.

By wearing it, one could tuck themselves into the folds of space, becoming invisible to everyone.

Relying on this treasure, Gui Ying had taken down Taiyi Golden Immortals of the same rank and had even stolen items right under the noses of Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

“That bunch of useless trash from the Wang Family... a Golden Immortal Ancestor was actually turned into a watchdog. They've lost all the face of an Immortal King.”

Gui Ying's figure was like a nearly transparent shadow.

He floated silently outside the Southern Heaven Gate, his gaze filled with contempt.

In front of the Southern Heaven Gate, the Guardian General—formerly the Ancestor of the Wang Family—stood stiffly at his post.

The Golden Immortal's Divine Thought swept back and forth, scraping through the Void Realm inch by inch.

Several times it swept right over Gui Ying's position, but it didn't detect a damn thing.

Gui Ying let out a cold sneer.

With the Ghost-Shadow Immortal Robe combined with the Sect's secret Turtle-Breath Soul-Locking Art, most Divine Thought probes would be rendered blind.

Unless it was a Grand Unity expert who specialized in pupillary techniques or the Dao of Karma, they could forget about finding him.

Turning into nothingness, he light-heartedly bypassed the Ancestor of the Wang Family's sentry post and crept toward the recently built Little Heavenly Court.

The closer he got, the more Gui Ying's heart pounded with trepidation.

The Immortal Qi here was so dense it was almost dripping like water.

The rhythm of the Great Dao in the air was a hundred times thicker than in the core Forbidden Ground of his Corpse Immortal Sect.

What shocked him even more was that the Immortal Dao Laws in this area were vibrant and complete—a completely different world compared to the deathly still, broken Immortal Realm outside.

“This is a fucking masterless blessed land! That so-called Great Xia, what's their background? Descendants of an ancient Immortal Emperor?”

Gui Ying felt a chill in his heart.

The fate of the Wang Family hadn't frightened him.

Instead, it had ignited an even greater ambition.

In his view, the master of the Southern Heaven Gate had power but didn't know how to hide it; being so flashy made them like a little kid walking down a dark road holding a gold ingot.

He landed outside the back garden of the Little Heavenly Court.

The towering palace walls and the flowing light of the Formations atop them looked no different from paper to him.

The Ghost-Shadow Immortal Robe flickered, and he passed directly through the wall.

He didn't cause even the slightest ripple of energy.

Inside the back garden was an entirely different world.

Immortal flowers and exotic herbs were in full bloom, each one bursting with life essence; at a glance, they were clearly extraordinary.

By a small pond, mist was rising.

The powers of Lunar and Solar were swirling in the pond water, transforming into the most primitive Spring of Life.

Gui Ying's eyes were instantly drawn to several children playing in the garden.

The children were as exquisite as carved jade, but the aura they emitted made even a Taiyi Golden Immortal like him feel alarmed.

A four or five-year-old boy was holding a tree branch, scribbling randomly on a rock.

He wasn't using any Immortal Essence.

Yet as the branch swept across, deep sword marks were left on the rock, which was as hard as immortal gold.

Every sword mark contained the Dao rhythm of life and death.

“Hiss... a natural Sword Seed! No, it's a Sword Dao Sacred Body! If this were refined into a Sword Corpse, he would be at least an Immortal King-level existence in the future!”

Gui Ying was horrified.

His gaze shifted to a little girl by the pond.

The girl was only two or three years old, with her hair in two small pigtails. She was squatting by the pond, reaching out her small hand to gently tap an unopened lotus flower.

The next second.

Time around that lotus seemed to fast-forward.

In an instant, it went through budding, blossoming, full bloom, and withering, finally producing lotus seeds.

The little girl seemed to find it boring and tapped the lotus seeds again.

Time reversed, and the lotus seeds turned back into a budding lotus flower.

“Ti... Time Law! This is the legendary Lunar Body, and she has already begun to master the power of time!”

Gui Ying was overjoyed.

If this kind of Physique were refined into a 'Time Corpse Puppet,' it could even be used to hold its own against a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Then there was the baby lying in the cradle blowing bubbles.

With every hiccup, a small bolt of purple lightning crackled from its mouth.

The surrounding space rippled because of it.

“Heavenly Punishment Holy Body! It really is the Heavenly Punishment Holy Body! The supreme Corpse King embryo described in the Sect's ancient texts!”

Gui Ying scanned everything greedily.

This wasn't a back garden.

This was a fucking unopened treasure vault.

Any one of these children was worth a fortune and could make the Corpse Immortal Sect's strength skyrocket.

“The Sect Master is indeed wise; this family is a walking Treasure Trove! What kind of dog shit luck did their parents have to give birth to such a group of Prodigies?”

He forced himself to calm down.

The boy playing with the sword was too aggressive; if he failed, the commotion would be too great.

The baby in the cradle had the protection of the Heavenly Tribulation and was even more untouchable.

Only the little girl playing with the flowers was the weakest, and her abilities were more support-oriented.

He thought to himself.

As long as he was fast enough, used the Sect's supreme treasure, the 'Spirit-Binding Rope,' to tie her up, and then used the 'corpse-transforming divine water' to isolate her aura, he could take her away without a sound.

It was in the bag.

Gui Ying mentally cheered for himself.

He pushed the Ghost-Shadow Immortal Robe to its limit, becoming completely ethereal, even making his Karma lines blurry.

He floated toward Li Qingyue, his movements so light there wasn't a single sound.

Three feet.

Two feet.

One foot.

Li Qingyue didn't notice at all, still focused on making that lotus flower repeatedly bloom and bear fruit, playing with great enthusiasm.

In Gui Ying's hand, he held a bottle of dark green liquid.

It was precisely the corpse-transforming divine water that could corrode even a Grand Unity Golden Body.

He planned to erase all traces the moment he succeeded.

His withered hand slowly reached toward the pigtails on the back of Li Qingyue's head.

Success!

He felt a surge of pride in his heart.

He could already see the scene of himself bringing this 'Lunar Body' back to the Sect, receiving the Sect Master's praise, and his status skyrocketing.

His fingertips were just about to touch her hair.

Suddenly.

A hand.

A warm, dry hand gently rested on his shoulder.

Gui Ying's hair stood on end.

The concealment methods he was so proud of became a massive joke at this moment.

His whole body stiffened, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

When did this hand appear?

When did this person get behind him?

Why were all his perceptions, all his Divine Thought, and all his Law warnings completely dead?

Impossible!

This was absolutely impossible!

What horrified him even more was that this hand had no killing intent and no pressure; it was as if an old friend was tapping him, full of... mundane life.

A flat voice tinged with a bit of curiosity rang in his ear; it wasn't loud, but it made his expression change drastically.

“Hey buddy, what are you looking for?”

Gui Ying stiffly turned his head.

He saw a face that was exceptionally young.

There was a smile on that face, but it made him shudder.

It was Li Xuan!

It was the master of this Little Heavenly Court!

He discovered in terror that all the concealment methods he was so proud of were just a joke in the other person's eyes.

When did he appear behind him?
