The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 41

Ch 41: The Heavily Wounded Xi Yang

Longhua Mountains, below Fenliu Peak.

Having just experienced a great battle, Xi Yang staggered forward along the mountain road, each step appearing extremely difficult.

His strength was insufficient, and forcibly using the sword formation placed a great burden on his body. At this moment, the meridians and flesh all over his body felt as if they were being torn off piece by piece, causing him excruciating pain.

If not for the Chaos Flame of the Reincarnation Lamp, Xi Yang’s body would have certainly collapsed by now.

As the Spiritual Energy within his body was exhausted, Xi Yang inexplicably sensed a familiar fluctuation.

After walking for a long time in a daze, Xi Yang stopped and squinted at what lay ahead.

“Hmm?” He vaguely saw someone blocking his path.

“Xi Yang, I didn’t expect that even the West Submergence Hall Master wasn’t your match, but it doesn’t matter! Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, all the secrets on your body will be mine!” Cang Cong laughed loudly.

Xi Yang ignored him, struggling to walk forward. At this moment, his world became exceptionally silent, and apart from a hazy mist, there wasn’t even half a figure in sight!

Seeing this, Cang Cong was overjoyed. He rushed forward in a flash and landed steadily in front of Xi Yang. Without hesitation, he raised his right foot and kicked hard, sending Xi Yang flying high into the air like a cannonball. Immediately afterward, Cang Cong quickly extended his fingers, stabbing out like sharp swords, accurately striking Xi Yang’s meridians and acupoints all over his body.

With each finger strike, a stream of Spiritual Energy flowed into Xi Yang’s body through his fingertips, instantly sealing off the flow of Spiritual Energy within him. Cang Cong’s movements were as fast as lightning, completing this series of complex operations in the blink of an eye. Then, he rapidly formed hand seals, and mysterious runes condensed in the air, eventually converging at Xi Yang’s Dantian, forming a powerful Sealing Formation.

At this time, Xi Yang was already unconscious, completely losing the ability to resist, and could only allow Cang Cong to do whatever he wanted to his body. Cang Cong sealed all the acupoints around Xi Yang’s body, making him completely unable to move. At the same time, he spat out a Blood Sword, which landed on Xi Yang’s body, and then drew a Four Symbols Seal at Xi Yang’s Dantian. This seal was extremely powerful, and even if Xi Yang was truly the reincarnation of an Immortal, as long as he had no cultivation, he would never be able to break free from its restraints.

Excitement flashed in Cang Cong’s eyes as he stared intently at Xi Yang in front of him, and a smug smile couldn’t help but appear on the corner of his mouth. He murmured, “This guy is just unconscious now, but once he regains consciousness, everything about him will belong to me! Hahahaha…” He seemed to see a bright future ahead and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“When that time comes, I will definitely become the leader of the Dragon Country National Security! Those guys who used to suppress me and prevent me from being promoted in the National Security Branch will only be able to kneel on the ground and lick my shoes!” Thinking of this, Cang Cong’s mood became even more excited, even somewhat uncontrollable.

At this time, Xi Yang’s muddled consciousness became even more blurred. He felt as if his body was tied with iron chains weighing a thousand pounds, extremely heavy, and he couldn’t move even an inch.

Cang Cong looked around with a helpless expression, as if searching for something, but eventually shook his head. He carried Xi Yang and prepared to go down the mountain and leave this place. However, at this moment, a huge Mountain Eagle suddenly rushed out of the forest.

Cang Cong was momentarily negligent and was suddenly fanned by the Mountain Eagle’s huge wings, staggering back several steps. Due to this sudden change, Xi Yang, who was being carried on his shoulder, also fell down. The Mountain Eagle took the opportunity to grab Xi Yang and spread its wings to fly high.

Cang Cong’s eyes widened, and he felt extremely regretful in his heart. He hurriedly took out the handgun from his waist and aimed at the Mountain Eagle, firing three shots in a row. Unfortunately, the bullets didn’t have enough range, and the Mountain Eagle had already disappeared into the sky.

Cang Cong stomped his feet angrily, feeling very annoyed. But it was not suitable to stay here at the moment.

Just as he turned to leave, he discovered that four powerful figures wearing Netherworld Hall Guardian cloaks had appeared before him.

One of the Netherworld Hall Guardians shouted loudly, “Cang Cong, where is our West Submergence Hall Master?” Their voices were stern and questioning.

A cold glint flashed in Cang Cong’s eyes. Losing the precious opportunity just now had made him extremely unhappy, and now being questioned by these people for no reason made him even more furious. He replied coldly, “Our National Security has no intention of creating conflict with your Netherworld Hall. Your West Submergence Hall Master is missing, that is your own business, please search for him yourselves!”

“It seems that the prestige of our Netherworld Four Guardians is not enough. A mere clerk from a National Security Branch dares to ignore us! Old Two, what do you think we should do?”

“What else can we do? We can’t offend National Security too deeply, but it’s okay to beat him up, humiliate him, and vent our anger!” said Old Two from the side.

Cang Cong was shocked when he heard this. “Everyone, let’s talk this over! I misspoke just now and offended you. Please, for the sake of National Security, please be more lenient!”

The four looked at Cang Cong, who had made a 180-degree turn, and looked at each other in dismay.

“Big Brother, let’s hear what he has to say first!” another person said.

The leader nodded. “Cang Cong, where is our Hall Master?”

Cang Cong said, “You have to guarantee my safe departure before I can say!”

These people didn’t bother to conceal their words just now, and he didn’t want to be beaten up by them.

The leading Netherworld Hall Guardian nodded.

Cang Cong pointed to a place below Fenliu Peak and said, “He fought with Xi Yang just now and was struck by a giant Spiritual Energy sword, breaking his Spiritual Energy spell, and fell in that direction!” He pointed to a mountain depression not far below Fenliu Peak.

The leading Netherworld Hall Guardian quickly headed in that direction upon hearing this.

Cang Cong breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back and saw the remaining three Guardians looking at him with ill intentions.

“What do you want to do?” he rebuked angrily, “I am from the National Security Bureau. If you dare to touch me, my Chief will not let you go! And your boss has already promised to let me leave safely!”

One person sneered, “The boss only represents himself, not us. As for your Branch Chief, I don’t believe he would start a war with our Netherworld for your sake alone!”

As he spoke, his figure was like a ghost, punching him in the face, and the other two were not polite either, throwing their sandbag-sized fists at him.

Even though Cang Cong was powerful, he was beaten black and blue, and the clothes all over his body were torn to shreds. He looked like he had been violated.

The three beat him violently for an hour before leaving.

Leaving the battered Cang Cong, staring blankly at the sky.

At this time, Xi Yang, who had been snatched away by the Mountain Eagle, was falling towards a lake in the Longhua Mountains at free-fall speed.

After the Mountain Eagle grabbed Xi Yang, it encountered an old rival, and the two sides fought fiercely, causing Xi Yang to be thrown off.

As Xi Yang approached the surface of the lake, a familiar feeling arose spontaneously, followed by a red light that drew Xi Yang into it.

Xi Yang arrived at an illusory world.

In the center of the world was a flickering flame, emitting a soft light.

Then Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul emerged from his body, and the Reincarnation Lamp, burning with Chaos Flame, protected his Nascent Soul.

Rushing into the center of the flame. A red-clothed figure exactly like Xi Yang walked out.

Xi Yang stepped forward and looked at him carefully, asking in confusion, “Who are you?” This person was not only identical in appearance and demeanor, but even the movements and tone of speech were exactly the same. If this person wasn’t wearing a red Daoist Robe and sporting long hair, he would have thought this person was his clone!

The red-clothed man smiled, “I am you, have you forgotten!” As he spoke, the red-clothed Xi Yang pointed at Xi Yang’s brow.

A picture immediately appeared in his mind. In a blue void, a terrifying power of the Great Path landed on Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul, with a bang!

Xi Yang was blasted out by this force. He looked at the red-clothed Xi Yang in confusion. “What is this?”

The red-clothed Xi Yang looked at him with interest and said, “This is a picture of you returning from the Netherworld and fighting a great battle with someone. I am one of your Three Souls, the Fetal Light.”

Xi Yang asked in confusion, “How can I believe you!”

The red-clothed Xi Yang shook his head, “You don’t need to believe me. You were scattered by the power of the Great Path of this world, scattering your Three Souls and Seven Spirits. I am one of the souls, only possessing your life origin and Natal aptitude.”

Xi Yang looked at him blankly.

The red-clothed Xi Yang smiled, “Forget it, perhaps you don’t need to know those things in the first place!” As he spoke, he flew into Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul.
