275: Enemies meet on a narrow road

This was a task for an investigative organization, and such tasks generally needed to be assessed based on the strength of the opposing organization.

It was now obvious that this organization was terrifying; they had only acted three times in total, but each time, an Earth Immortal Realm individual had died.

They had previously targeted the head of the Patrol Team, but their tracks could never be found.

Under the premise that their combat power was unclear, it could only be rated as an unknown Rank.

Li Haotian understood that this task was extremely dangerous for him, but he still intended to go and resolve it.

The task issued by the System was also very simple: as long as he could complete an Immortal Rank task, he would be rewarded with a Realm Experience Card and a death warrior summoning card.

This was still a huge temptation for him.

The current estimated rating for this task was Heaven-Grade.

There might be a Powerhouse above the Heavenly Immortal Realm among them.

Li Haotian's Cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm; the nourishment from the immortal spirit qi was simply too terrifying, coupled with abundant resources.

His speed to Cultivate seemed to have returned to when he was still at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

Now, the entire Sect was wholeheartedly devoted to Cultivating, and once they could completely settle down in the Anbei Kingdom, he would move the Sect over.

Based on existing clues, Li Haotian hired an Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse.

He looked at the three Earth Immortal Powerhouses who had been killed; every one of them had obtained a valuable treasure.

And after they died, all the resources on them had been plundered.

Soon, an Earth Immortal Realm Immortal carrying a valuable treasure began asking at various pawnshops in the city how many immortal fate stones his treasure could be exchanged for.

The news spread instantly.

An Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse possessed an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure!

After this person had wandered around the city for three days, danger indeed arrived.

A Merchant Caravan was willing to purchase his Magic Treasure at the highest price, but they required the transaction to take place in a designated city.

This person readily agreed, while Li Haotian held his Immortal Emperor Realm Cultivation Experience Card at all times.

He followed this person the whole way, afraid that some accident might happen. As long as anyone dared to make a move, he would immediately become an Incarnation of an Immortal Emperor and capture the other party.

Li Haotian followed the whole way, and even after arriving at another magnificent city, he had not encountered any danger on the road.

This immediately left him a bit dumbfounded; was the other party actually sincere about wanting to purchase it, and not trying to intercept and kill?

Li Haotian frowned; could it be that the trap he set was too realistic, and thus no one took the bait?

Just as he was somewhat dumbfounded, they had arrived at the city ahead, and the Merchant Caravan, in accordance with their previous promise, withdrew a large amount of immortal fate stones from the bank.

They then exchanged one million immortal fate stones for this Immortal Rank Magic Treasure.

Upon seeing this number, both Li Haotian and the Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse were dumbfounded.

Was an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure actually worth that much?

Li Haotian had taken out that Immortal sword from his set of Magic Treasures.

It must be that offensive Magic Treasures had a higher value, second only to defensive types.

On the way back, Li Haotian felt his heart bleeding, but it didn't matter; as long as he wanted to, he could just trade for this Magic Treasure back.

He could sense the location of his Magic Treasure; even if the other party erased his mark, he could still sense it because it was, after all, a reward from the System.

On their way back, the two suddenly felt an extreme chill.

A group of assassins wearing black robes rushed out from below.

Li Haotian's fantasies about the Immortal Realm had been completely shattered.

It was not at all as harmonious as he had imagined, and there was no Great Dao for everyone to achieve Immortal Ascension.

Nor were there endless, inexhaustible resources.

Now he had completely lost his fascination with the Immortal Realm; this was actually just a Cultivation world.

It was just at a higher level than the Cultivation worlds, and the level of cruelty inside even far exceeded the Cultivation worlds.

Although the Heavenly Domain also had intrigue and deceit, it was absolutely not as cruel as this.

These people couldn't even be bothered to speak and attacked directly.

The person in the lead was chilling to the bone; with a gentle wave of his hand, a large number of dark clouds appeared in the sky.

Immediately after, snowflakes began to fall all over the sky, and centered around him, a large number of tornadoes began to appear, carrying these snowflakes.

Each snowflake was like a sharp knife, spinning continuously in the air, and then they began to attack the two.

The two were enveloped in the snowflakes; this feeling was quite uncomfortable.

The corners of Li Haotian's mouth curled up slightly; he was familiar with this move.

The other party was a Heavenly Immortal Realm Powerhouse, and he was also in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. With our Realms being the same, you cannot possibly defeat me.

Li Haotian confidently threw out a large number of Flying Swords, which then began to circle around him. At first, the role of these Flying Swords was merely to provide a defense, used to resist those snowflakes.

But once the Flying Swords had completely formed, they began to spiral outwards while spinning. No snowflake could get close; they were all neutralized by the sword blades.

Then, it continued to spread until it reached the black-robed person; only then did the other party's expression change.

No matter how he manipulated his snowflakes, he could absolutely not break through this terrifying defensive sword formation.

"Retreat!"

He roared, turned around, and fled. The expressions of some Cultivators who were continuously outputting long-range attacks beside him also changed.

"Want to leave?"

Li Haotian lightly waved his right hand, scattering countless light orbs toward them. As long as any one of the light orbs landed on them, Li Haotian would be able to know their location.

Although the few people fled in different directions, they were still killed one by one, and their bodies were collected. These were the proof for submission; he needed to use this to exchange for merit.

After Li Haotian cleaned it all up, he let the Cultivator he had hired return, while he himself returned to the town from earlier.

In his perception, his Flying Sword was stopped in one place. After a long time, when he arrived, a teleportation beam of light was just flying up into the sky, and everyone in the entire teleportation array had also disappeared.

Li Haotian's expression changed drastically; he could clearly feel his Magic Treasure moving away from him. He hurriedly leaped into the air and then flew in the direction of the teleportation.

He flew for a whole day and night before he barely managed to catch up to the city where the Magic Treasure was located.

Just as he was preparing to go and find the Magic Treasure, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar carriage; nine True Dragons were constantly tumbling in the sky, and the carriage was parked steadily in the air, with no one riding inside it.

King Anbei!

Li Haotian's expression was somewhat strange; he leaped and charged downward.

He hoped his luck wouldn't be so bad that he would run into her directly.

At this moment, in a secret room, King Anbei looked at the Immortal sword in front of her with great joy.

She had come out this time specifically to find an Immortal Rank offensive Magic Treasure.

After searching for a long time, there was finally a party willing to bid, saying they had such a Magic Treasure in their hands.

King Anbei did not hesitate at all and chose cash on delivery; the other party immediately brought the weapon to find her.

As soon as they landed, both parties agreed to meet to prepare for the transaction.
