Chapter 372: Two Little Professionals Braggarts

“Killing an immortal?”

Jin Sidao appeared taken aback, and gave Jiang He a weird look.

Jiang He was perhaps the only person who could ask such a question—if it was not him but any other young man, Jin Sidao would have rolled up his sleeves to hit him.

After some thought, Jin Sidao answered, “Immortals exist beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements. As such, the only people who could kill immortals might be other immortals.”

“Only immortals could kill immortals?”

Jiang He felt a headache right then and chuckled bitterly. “And here I thought that I could kill one if I played every last trump card I had, but it seems that I was delusional…”

Therefore… he must become immortal!

And as soon as possible, at that.

Otherwise, how was he going to fight when the immortals returned?

Still, he was more or less doubtful of Jin Sidao’s answer…

After all, were immortals really that powerful?

Right now, he had learned the Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity, and with the Violet Sky Thunder Talisman and a pepper, it was not as if he wouldn’t have the power to kill an immortal.

“Still, even if I could kill an immortal, it would be the weakest ones… I have provoked too many sects now and their elites would definitely come at me once the immortals return. That said, I’m afraid there would be widespread death and destruction once war breaks out…”

Jiang He was very worried.

After all, an immortal could move mountains and seas with just the flip of one’s palm. If someone like that went to Jiang He’s home to attack him, all of Lingzhou City would be gone.

“So…”

There was a quick flash of viciousness in Jiang He’s eyes. “It would be best to resolve this issue ahead of time… for example, stopping the immortals before they could return and resolve our differences.”

Meanwhile, the five trembling cultivators waited until Jiang He had his word before leaving as fast as they could.

They promised to gather the treasures and sprit stones Jiang He demanded as soon as possible.

After they left, Jin Sidao asked hesitantly, “Brother Jiang He, are you about to attack the Unbounded Demon Sect, Blood Demon Sect, Thousand Cavern Mountain, and the Blue Cloud Sect?”

“If you intend to purge the four great factions, all of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would help you.”

The cultivators who had been the first to leap forward in action against Jiang He belonged to those four factions, with the daemon cultivator being affiliated to Thousand Cavern Mountain, although the Blue Cloud Sect was an immortal sect.

Still, knowing Jiang He… Jin Sidao was sure that the Four Great Factions would most likely end up crushed.

Jiang He, however, shook his head and said, “No need. Those Four Great Factions are trash and I alone could deal with them… Moreover, I’ve never mentioned anything about fighting them.”

“Eh?”

Jin Sidao did a double take, while Jiang He smiled. “Are you trying to say that this isn’t my style?”

Sigh!

Exhaling lengthily in exasperation, “I, Jiang He, am not that homicidal. Did you think that I’m very keen about fighting and killing?”

“I may have flattened the Penglai Sect and wiped out the Green Hill Foxes, but that was all done in self-defense. And if I didn’t do so… would Earth be this peaceful?”

Jin Sidao appeared thoughtful at that…

And it turns out that Jiang He was quite right about that.

If Jiang He had not destroyed the Penglai Sect and Green Hill at the speed of lightning, making a name for himself as the Invincible Demon Lord and the Sect Destroying Maniac, the various immortal sects, demonic sects and daemon cultivators would have revealed themselves, and Earth would be caught entirely in an age of chaos.

Jiang He paused then, before adding, “Furthermore, I don’t intend to wipe out the Four Great Factions… their Mahayana elites may have provoked me, but I have already killed them. Naturally, I would think of a way to deal with them too.”

“There’s no need to kill the small fries of the Four Great Factions.”

Wang Hou was dumbstruck.

Having frozen up like a stone statue for a long while, he finally came to his senses.

There was a totally blank look on his face and his eyes were widened as he looked at Jiang He, muttering, “Jiang He, I have definitely cultivated over a hundred years in the Star Map… but how many years have passed on the outside?”

“What do you mean, years? It was just twenty days!”

Jiang He was speechless.

Was Wang Hou doubting him?

Nonetheless, Wang Hou could not resist whipping out his satellite phone… but since he had cultivated for a hundred years in the Star Map, it was out of battery despite its super long battery-life.

Jiang He hence handed him his satellite phone.

Wang Hou was even more stunned after a look at the date and he could not help exclaiming, “It really was just around twenty days… How could this be?”

“If I remember correctly, weren’t you merely full-fledged Sufferance? How did you become full-fledged Mahayana so soon?”

Wang Hou appeared unable to take it, and muttered, “Impossible, impossible… I have cultivated for a hundred years, but I can’t even catch up to your progress of twenty days?”

Jiang He thought about it, before saying seriously, “Actually, I was already full-fledged Mahayana more than ten days ago, Minister Wang.”

Wang Hou scowled even harder at that.

It was only after a long while that he said, “By the way, who is this?”

Jiang He introduced them.

Wang Hou offered a fist-palm salute in greeting. “Chieftain Jin.”

“Minister Wang!”

Jin Sidao was quite shock too. He had heard of Wang Hou but never met him, and was naturally quite shocked…

Was Wang Hou a person who carries a great destiny as well?

Even if he did not fully control the Star Map after entering it to cultivate for a hundred years, he would certainly have formed a certain degree of connection to it.

In his mind, he could not help praising himself for deciding to collaborate with the Hua Nation and spread their sect’s teachings to the world.

After they had a few exchanges, Wang Hou laughed, “Wang Hou, Chieftain Jin… Isn’t it cold out here beyond the skies? Why don’t we get down from this place to talk?”

The trio hence flew down to Earth, back to Jingdu City.

Wang Hou led them to a teahouse and asked about the current situation on Earth. After hearing about how Jiang He had threatened the Foxes of Mount Changbai, wiping out the Green Hill Foxes and overwhelmed all immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemon cultivators on Earth until they did not dare to raise their heads, he laughed smugly and said, “Well done… those antiques that can’t die from old age have to know who’s boss on Earth.”

Jin Sidao flushed in slight embarrassment at that—it felt a little insulting!

Jiang He changed the conversation then, “By the way, Minister Wang… what actually happened with that Star Map?”

“I’m not too sure myself,” Wang Hou answered. “So, wasn’t I thinking that I was quite weak and tried to improve myself by finding some heritage sites or legacies?”

“And as the saying goes, hard work always pays off—I was searching overseas for over thirty or so hours when I found a mountain cavern on an uninhabited island. It was the palace residence of an elite and after I cultivated in there for two days, I was teleported inside the Star Map for some reason.”

Wang Hou spread his hands then and showed a helpless look on his face, saying, “That’s how I got locked up in the star map for a hundred years!

“Really, a hundred years… no one would know how I lived this long. I can’t get out, and I have no one to talk to, so I was forced to keep cultivating…”

As Jiang He listened to Wang Hou tell his personal experiences, an undisguisable look of envy appeared on his face and he could not help sighing, “You’re really blessed, Minister Wang. You could go on adventures to find some providence… while I am forced to stay home to farm.”

Wang Hou, too, smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “I should be envious here—I want to enjoy a pastoral life like yours too, but circumstances would not allow it!”

Jin Sidao was speechless.

He did not take offense even though Wang Hou’s negligent words did prick him, but he could not hold it in now!

What the hell! If you two want to brag, brag in private—have you conspired how I would feel when you say all this in my face?!

Slamming his hand on the table, Jin Sidao sprang to his feet indignantly, turned away, and stormed off!

Jiang He quickly gave chase, saying, “Chieftain Jin, please wait… I still have something I need your help with.”

“What is it?” Jin Sidao asked with a scowl.

“It’s about the Four Great Factions.”

Jiang He answered. “Though I have a heart of compassion and am reluctant to go on a rampage to wipe out the Four Great Factions, it is an indisputable truth that they had provoked me.”

“As such, please go in place to pass my word and tell them that their elites had tried to kill me, which is a let down of my trust towards them. It dealt a great blow to my young heart, and it must be healed with tons of treasures.”

Jin Sidao was shocked beside himself.

What the hell.

You trusted them before?

Have you even heard about the Four Great Factions before this?

Moreover… young heart?!

Go away!

I want to shoot my two-thousand-year-old spit at you so much right now!

Of course, Jin Sidao merely thought that, and he would never say it if he killed him. Nodding, he said, “Don’t worry, Mister Jiang. I will talk to the Four Great Factions when I return.”

Even so, it was an errand that would provoke other sects and paint a target on the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

In fact, would the immortal swordsmen of his sect not kill Jin Sidao once they returned to find themselves the enemies of every other sect?

However, there was no need to think consider so much since he had chosen to tie himself with Jiang He and the Hua Nation.

“By the way…”

Jiang He added then, “When you visit the Four Great Factions, remember to capture the aura of every Mahayana cultivator they have left. Or you could just ask them for a keepsake—I would have use for those later.”
