Chapter 197: The Big Shot in the Rotten Wooden Box_5
```
I didn't expect to keep sensing it on this little cultivator who's merely in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
"What kind of monster is this kid? To say he has cultivated some Immortal Technique that can see through the thoughts in people's hearts, but I am an Immortal King, how could he possibly see through my thoughts? Even my master, Ancestral Fiend, couldn't do that, could he?" His heart was incredibly shocked.
"Hmph! You really don't know what's good for you. I earnestly offered to trade with you, yet you keep playing tricks. Do you believe I won't shout three times right now to draw the three Immortal Monarchs from outside and hand you over to them, so you'll never see the light of day for all eternity?"
Yang Ji suddenly shouted, preempting the other's actions like a Shocking Thunder explosion, startling not only Yan Zhan and the others but also the Immortal King inside the Rail Wooden Box, whose heart skipped a beat, as if he had returned to the past when he was being reprimanded by his master.
"Ahem, little brother, please don't. We're all friends here. It's a huge stroke of fate to have met each other. Why make things so rigid between us, right?" The entitiy inside the Rail Wooden Box said with a forced smile.
"You'd better be honest, this is your last chance, and there won't be another one." Yang Ji snorted coldly, wanting to forcefully expose his scheming to make him recognize the seriousness and not dare to play any more tricks.
Even an Immortal King must be completely honest and obedient in front of him.
Without waiting for another word from the Rail Wooden Box, Yang Ji turned his hand and put it into his Inner World.
Planning to give him the cold shoulder for a while.
"Yang Ji, do you really want to carry this Rail Wooden Box with you? The side of Ancestral Fiend is as incompatible with the Celestial Court as fire and water. It's a huge cause and effect, the stakes are too high." The Immortal Elder said gravely.
"I originally did not want to get involved in this karmic tie, but the Evil Ancestor True Scripture is truly tempting. Once I ascend to the Immortal Realm, if the timing is right, I can study it and learn from it." Yang Ji replied.
"Evil Ancestor True Scripture is linked to Ancestral Fiend, it's a huge karmic tie, do you really want to get involved?" The Immortal Elder said earnestly, asking again.
"Indeed, it's a huge karmic tie, but also a massive opportunity, a tremendous one at that. The opportunity lies right before me, and I don't really want to let it go. I'm not concerned with the opposition between good and evil. The Great Dao is vast, and although the paths are different, they all lead back to the same destination, are just means to Longevity.
I seek only the Dao, without questioning the rights and wrongs of the way. 'Evil' is subjective to the human heart." Yang Ji said.
"How difficult is it to seek the Dao in its purest form? Once you cultivate the Evil Ancestor True Scripture, you're actually entangled in its feuds, and stand opposed to the Celestial Court." The Immortal Elder sighed.
"Immortal Elder, this is what worries me too, so I want to ascend to the Immortal Realm and then figure things out before making a decision." Yang Ji said solemnly.
Being caught in the web of the world and unable to break free, this was the first time he truly felt that way.
"Hehe, Immortal Elder, no need to worry, I have my own sense of measure and will not be so foolish as to blindly oppose the Celestial Court for the sake of the Evil Ancestor True Scripture." Yang Ji suddenly laughed.
"Hmm! Yang Ji, it's good that you have your own judgment." The Immortal Elder nodded.
"Yang Ji, where are we heading now?" Yan Zhan saw Yang Ji looking toward the canyon outside, as if he had spotted a target, and asked aloud.
"To kill the Heavenly Demons, to get the True Inheritancer Talisman!" Yang Ji stated coldly.
"Yang Ji, have you made a discovery?" Yan Zhan asked, slightly surprised.
"Yes, follow me!" With a smile, Yang Ji led the others as they flew out of the Evil Mist Canyon.
...
In the midst of some mountains.
A man dressed in a black robe chuckled maliciously, "Our Heavenly Demon Sect gave your Great River Sect a chance. Since your sect refused to submit, then all of you disciples of the Great River Sect shall perish."
With a flick of his wrist, a blade fell, accompanied by a scream, a bloody head soared into the air.
The ground was smeared in blood, with as many as ten heads like this, each filled with vengeful fury.
"Mo Tianshang, by joining the Heavenly Demons, you will have no good end. All of you deserve to die!" a head lying on the ground cursed with resentful eyes, still mouthing words.
"Oh? You actually cultivated almost half an Immortal Body, worthy of being the top genius who entered this time from the Great River Sect. However, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. You may never see our 'tragic end.'" The man from the Heavenly Demon Sect sneered viciously, and crushed the head under his foot, thoroughly extinguishing its life force.
"Alas, still one step too late. However, the geniuses who come to the Battlefield of Inheritances usually leave a clone outside, so they won't die completely. In three hundred years, you will also learn of their terrible fates, it's not too late."
A sorrowful sigh suddenly came from high above.
```
"Who?" Mo Tianshang was startled and suddenly looked up.
He saw ten people flying through the air toward him.
"People from the Wuji Dao Sect?" Mo Tianshang recognized the robes of the newcomers and sneered coldly, "You've arrived just in time. I'll kill you all together, so you can keep them company on the road to the Yellow Springs."
"Heaven and Earth Net!" Mo Tianshang and the other nine demons, ruthless and merciless, exchanged glances and immediately flicked their fingers, releasing strands of evil energy that wove into a Heaven and Earth Net, enveloping Yang Ji and his companions.
To trap them all within it.
"With only one leader among you, who will make a move?" Yang Ji said coldly.
"Heaven and Earth Net? A mere trick! Behold my Endless Sea of Flames!" Xuan Chi, brimming with murderous intent, stepped forward, and a sea of flames surged from behind him, instantly burning away the endless evil energy and breaking the Heaven and Earth Net.
"Ice Seal Thousand Miles!" Li Yinxue also took the opportunity to fly out, striking with her palm, as boundless frost swept across the land and sky, instantly turning the world in front of them into a frost-covered realm. Mo Tianshang and the other ten were frozen in place in an instant.
It was just a moment's work.
Xuan Chi had already flown above Mo Tianshang's head, his hand ablaze with fire, and as he gripped down and twisted fiercely, a scream accompanied the removal of Mo Tianshang's head.
The flames rolled over it, and within the span of three breaths, it was burnt to nothingness, soul and all.
Two leader-level geniuses acted together, and these were not just any leaders, but close to the ones on the Immortal List.
Mo Tianshang stood no chance and was killed instantly.
The nine remaining disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, all Silver List Geniuses, were somewhat extraordinary. Frozen for three breaths, they showed signs of breaking out with Divine Skills.
But just then, Zhan Xiao made his move, with battle energy coalescing in his hands to form a strong bow covered in runes, and an arrow incredibly sharp.
Nocking the arrow and drawing the bow, with a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the void, followed by nine consecutive booming explosions.
Nine heads of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples burst open, their souls extinguished, dying a tragic death on the spot.
Three leader-level geniuses made a move—it was a true killing blow.
There was no suspense.
"Let's go, we'll head to the next place." Yang Ji moved, leading the others purposefully forward, because his clone had sent him another message.
"Hey, young man, don't be in a hurry to kill—don't you want a chance at treasure? I can truly take you there," spoke the Rail Wooden Box.
"Where?" Yang Ji asked casually as he flew.
"The very area where you found me," said the Rail Wooden Box.
"How would you know there's a treasure there, stuck inside a Rail Wooden Box, unable to move?" Yang Ji was unmoved.
"You've forgotten, that area is a fragment of the Evil Realm. I've spent countless eons in the Evil Realm, and I'm familiar with every inch; I can tell where the chances lie with my eyes closed," the Rail Wooden Box insisted.
"Oh?" Yang Ji's interest was piqued, but he appeared indifferent and did not respond further.
One reason was to cool the Rail Wooden Box's enthusiasm, making him see the reality of the situation.
Another was that the target of this hunt possessed a True Inheritor Talisman, which he desired.
Without further delay, he led his group at high speed toward their target.
(Since no one objects to anti-piracy measures, they will start from tomorrow. The anti-piracy chapter will be released at midnight tomorrow, and it will be revised promptly at six in the morning. From now on, updates will occur during the day, so there's no need for anyone to stay up late waiting, only I will be staying up late to write.
