‘He’s something else.”

After a quick glance at Chu Kuangren and a slight surprise, Hui Fa shifted his attention away. He had absolute confidence in himself.

Even though Chu Kuangren was a King Immortal Progeny, Hui Fa was confident enough to take him down because he was already on the Immortal Path!

That fact alone boosted his confidence. After all, he was no longer in the same ranks as the common King Immortal Progeny. Even better, he should not consider himself as an Immortal Progeny anymore.

Since he was now on his Immortal Path, he should be a.

Half-Immortal!

The group left for Weeping Phantom Ridge.

The closer they got, the heavier the mist. Its effect on the cultivators also got more severe, but fortunately, they got Hui Fa in the raiding party.

Along the way, Hui Fa and his peers channeled their Buddhist Lights and blocked out the majority of the rage qi for everyone.

It was to make sure that everyone arrived at Weeping Phantom Ridge at their peak combat strength.

“The Weeping Phantom Ridge is just ahead of us,” Hui Fa said as he gazed upon a mountain ridge.

‘The mountain ridge was shrouded in a thick gray mist, overflowing with rage qi.

“Be prepared.”

Awhile later, the group entered the ridge. The moment they set foot inside, a vast amount of rage qi assaulted them, and they had no choice but to channel their Emperor qi to suppress its influence.

Chu Kuangren did not feel anything though.

The rage qi usually targeted one’s body and mind. However, Chu Kuangren had a powerful physical body, and his soul energy was as mighty as the ocean.

‘The rage qi did not affect him at all. As for Lan Yu and Qing Feng, the Sword Crown was there to secretly protect them, so they could move forward just fine.

“Hehe. Isn’t it a little overkill bringing the Sword Crown here?”

Chu Kuangren chuckled to himself.

‘The Sword Crown had mostly from his injuries. He might not show off his powers often, but he was still an Immortal.

He could probably take down the entire Weeping Phantom Ridge with a single slash of his sword.

It was like a maxed-level character going back to the starting village in a game.

“Look, what’s that?!”

Someone in the group squealed in shock.

Everyone looked in that particular direction.

There was a saber embedded on the cliff.

It looked old and rusty, but there was a faint amount of Immortal Sparks on it.

“It’s an Immortal Weapon! It might be broken, but if we can bring it back and refine it, we might be able to get a sizable amount of Immortal Metal,” one of the cultivators said.

One of them dashed forward and wanted to seize the saber. However, a powerful roar sounded from afar followed by a few-feet-tall vengeful soul charging out from the woods.

The vengeful soul’s face was severely disfigured, and his original face could no longer be seen. However, the rage qi that emanated from his body was terrifying.

It was as powerful as a late-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial.

The cultivator that went for the saber failed to dodge the vengeful soul and was blasted away by its powerful ram. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“A vengeful soul!”

“A vengeful soul is here! Be careful!”

At that, the expression on everyone’s faces changed, and they all became alert.

Meanwhile, the Oceanic Sword Grave Saber Lord stepped out and, with his hand as saber, slashed forth at the void. A powerful and vast saber qi burst outwards.

The vengeful soul was sent flying backward by the saber qi, and the Saber Lord’s powerful strike left everyone in awe.

“This is the strength of the Oceanic Sword Grave’s Young Master? As expected of one of the Twelve Kings of the Immortal World! He’s really powerful!”

“Not bad. Quite surprising indeed.”

Chu Kuangren and the Sword Crown had a glance at the Saber Lord.

“This is the Oceanic Sword Grave’s Immortal Technique, Mighty Saber Art. For a kid his age to perform such a technique, he sure has cultivated well.”

“Mhmm. Compared to other Immortal Progenies, he really does stand out,” Chu Kuangren chuckled.

‘The Sword Crown chuckled awkwardly at Chu Kuangren’s statement. Then, he suddenly realized that no matter how great an Immortal Progeny was, they were nothing before Chu Kuangren because Chu Kuangren was not on the same level as them.

After sending the vengeful soul flying, the Saber Lord seized the opportunity for a follow-up attack. He turned his palm into a saber and brought out the full potential of the Oceanic Sword Grave’s Immortal Technique. In a few seconds, the vengeful soul that could rival a Heavenly Daoist Celestial was

Killed.

It disintegrated into a cloud of rage qi upon death.

Then, Hui Fa took out a golden Buddha sculpture and tossed it into the air. The sculpture shone in golden light, and the cloud of rage qi was absorbed into the sculpture.

The scene shocked everyone.

The monk seemed to be collecting rage qi.

“Amitabha. When the rage qi of the vengeful souls returns to nature, it will form a new vengeful soul. So in order to stop the vicious cycle, I collect the rage qi using this Buddha sculpture. I will purify it once I get back,” Hui Fa said with a soft smile.

The crowd only understood the situation when they heard him.

“Isee.”

“As expected of the Holy Monk. He’s compassionate and thoughtful of the world. I’m impressed.”

“Not bad. The Holy Monk lives up to his name.”

Chu Kuangren took a glance at the Buddha sculpture and had a ruminating look on his face. “Interesting. This little Holy Monk is not as simple as I thought.”

He used Lil Ai to analyze the Buddha sculpture and found something interesting.

After killing the vengeful soul, the group pressed forward. Other than more vengeful souls, the group was able to pick up quite a number of treasures along the way.

However, Chu Kuangren did not find anything attractive. He did not even make a move, except for those vengeful souls that came straight for him. He simply remained an audience throughout the expedition.

As the group pressed on deeper, they encountered a new wave of attacks from the vengeful souls. This time, they were caught in a tough battle.

“Eroding Bone Poison Flame!” Huoshen Xiao bellowed and blasted out a ball of black flame from his hand.

The flame bumed the vengeful soul ferociously like cancer.

Watching from the side, Chu Kuangren smiled profoundly. “This is a divine fire from the Divine Fire List. Interesting. It seems like losing Violet Heaven Radiant Flame has allowed him to encounter another Opportunity of Fortune.”

It was good news for him because it meant fodder for the Phoenix’s Flame.

“No.”

It was then a scream came from afar.

Chu Kuangren saw a pock-face lady surrounded by several vengeful souls. She fought back with her sword by unleashing sharp sword rays, but she was forced to a disadvantage after a few rounds. It quickly got dangerous for her.

The other cultivators were engaging other vengeful souls as well, and no one offered a helping hand, even those who were more capable.

The Saber Lord was one of them. He crossed his arm, and his saber remained sheathed on his back. He stared with a cold gaze, “A swordswoman? An ugly one, I see. She’s not worth it for me to help her.”

The cultivators from Oceanic Sword Grave seemed to have prejudices against all the swordsmen and women, so he did not react well to the scene.

If the lady was a beautiful one, he might consider it. However, the lady had a pocked face that disgusted him.

Further away, Hui Fa was also fighting a vengeful soul. Given his strength, he could easily deal with the vengeful soul and help the lady, but he did not.

He did not want to expose his true strength for now.

The pock-faced lady was surrounded, yet no one offered help. The cruelty of the cultivation world was displayed to its fullest.

“No. Am I going to die here?”

The lady had a look of despair on her pock face.

It was then Chu Kuangren raised his hand from afar. Swords, spears, tridents, and other weapons formed in the air before they fired towards the vengeful souls that attacked the lady.

A few loud bangs later, all the vengeful souls were killed.

The scene caught the attention of the Saber Lord and Hui Fa, who both looked at Chu Kuangren in surprise.

“There’s an expert in the group?”

“Iwas right. He really is different.”
