Chapter 286

Hetong knew that the development of today's events had far exceeded her expectations.

"You..."

"Or maybe you should just injure me and run for your life."

Was it because she admired Tang An's madness? Or did she admire her courage to break the rules? Was that why she couldn't bear it and didn't want Tang An to be refined into a pill?

Or perhaps, was she afraid that Kunlun Mountain would suffer because of Tang An's outrageous actions?

Once something major happened to Tang An at Kunlun Mountain, she would have an inescapable responsibility. Could she bear that responsibility?

Hetong's internal thoughts were very complex, but it was clearly no longer a question of whether she would let Tang An leave.

It was that it's easy to invite a god but hard to send one away; now, this "god" she had invited was unwilling to leave.

"Kunlun Mountain is almost here." Tang An did not take back the leaf of the Seven Treasure Tree. "You don't have much time left to choose."

She seemed to be seducing Hetong in a low voice. "Either you defect from Yuxu Palace and join the Jie Sect, or you die and your Dao dissipates."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you myself. But the trouble I cause will definitely implicate you."

"Before I leave Kunlun Mountain, I can wait for your answer. Once we are out of Kunlun Mountain, your life or death will be none of my business."

Hetong hesitated repeatedly, unable to make up her mind.

She felt very panicked, especially as they got closer to Kunlun Mountain; she felt the stone pressing on her heart becoming heavier.

"They want to refine you into a pill."

Just before entering the Kunlun Mountain range, Hetong finally made her choice.

A smile spread across Tang An's lips as she took back the leaf of the Seven Treasure Tree. "I know."

"You know?" Hetong was puzzled. "You know, and you still dare to..."

Tang An stroked the feathers on Hetong's neck. "You don't need to know too much; you only need to know that before I leave Kunlun Mountain, I will take you with me."

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I can ensure you won't die."

Hetong was still worried; if Tang An died, then everything they were talking about now would be an illusion.

If Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect really blamed her, she would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat.

"You are a mortal; you cannot withstand the Master's alchemy furnace."

"Of course I can't withstand it." Tang An was very clear about her own strength. "But didn't I invite someone to come?"

Hetong only then remembered Bodhi Patriarch and was filled with astonishment.

"You knew from the very beginning that you would be refined into a pill? That's why you invited Bodhi Patriarch to come first?"

This... is too inconceivable...

Tang An did not answer Hetong's question but lay on her back, admiring the beautiful scenery of Kunlun Mountain.

It truly lived up to being the territory of Yuanshi Tianzun, and truly lived up to being the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Auspicious clouds filled the mountains, immortal cranes spread their wings and flew, and it seemed as if immortal music was in the air; the scenes and palaces could be described as incomparably magnificent.

Hetong carried her into Kunlun Mountain, and immediately many immortal cranes surrounded them; the visual effect was truly like being in a fairyland.

At the entrance of the palace, Tang An got off Hetong's back, and Hetong also transformed into human form.

Bodhi Patriarch also appeared; at first glance, his temperament was the same as Tang An's—just a mortal.

The immortal attendants passing by seemed very curious about Tang An and the others. Of course, there were also some unfriendly gazes that couldn't be avoided.

"How could a mortal come to our Kunlun Mountain?"

"These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come to seek apprenticeship."

"Keep your voice down; that is someone brought personally by Lady Hetong, don't say too much."

"Pfft, just a low-class woman; does she really think she can cultivate just by joining Kunlun Mountain?"

"Hahaha~ Brother Dao is right; at her age in the mortal world, she's probably unable to get married and has become an old maid."

Listening to those mocking voices, whether intentional or unintentional, Tang An rolled her neck and stretched her muscles.

"Oh, she's even putting on airs; does she dare to actually hit us?"

"Ignorant village woman, unaware of the difference between immortals and mortals; just based on her, it's simply..."

"Slap!"

Before that immortal could finish speaking, he was hit by a golden brick. He collapsed to the ground instantly, a dent in the shape of the golden brick appearing on his face, and nosebleeds flowing down.

"I've seen plenty of people who wanted to slip away from under my nose, Tang An."

"But people who actively ask for a beating are truly rare."

What, just because she has no background and is just a mortal, can they bully her as they please?

That immortal climbed up from the ground, wiping his nosebleed, his anger burning. "You mortal, how dare you lay a hand on this immortal?"

"But considering you brought such a good magic treasure, this immortal can choose not to hold it against you."

"Heh." Tang An was amused; it seems Kunlun Mountain is quite isolated, and information is locked down tight.

"Want to take my magic treasure? Alright, then let's see if you have the life to take it."

Tang An's expression turned gloomy in an instant, and as she raised her eyes slightly, the Immortal Binding Rope rushed toward those immortals who had just spoken rudely to her.

Some immortals had their feet bound, others had their hands tied, and then the Immortal Binding Rope instantly tightened, binding all those immortals together.

"Universe Ring." To prevent any possibility of them escaping, Tang An summoned the Universe Ring again to bind them a second time.

And then...

Tang An took out a wolf-tooth club from her Wealth Gathering Ring.

Yes, it was the wolf-tooth club snatched from the Yellow Eyebrow Monster, the one even the Eastern Buddha couldn't get back.

"I! Hit!!!"

Tang An raised her hand and brought the hammer down, starting a hearty game of whack-a-mole.

Never mind who she was hitting or where she was hitting them. Anyway, their mouths were foul, and they all deserved to be hit.

"I'll teach you to look down on mortals."

"I'll teach you to be self-righteous."

"I'll teach you to spew filth!"

"I'll teach you to bully others!"

Tang An was panting from the exertion; only when she was extremely tired did she stop, leaning on the wolf-tooth club to drink some water and rest.

As for those beaten immortals, each one was bruised and swollen, their mouths filled with broken teeth and blood foam, all wailing and crying for help in pain.

The immortals passing by saw this and all wanted to step forward to help their colleagues.

"All step back." Hetong knew that if she wanted to truly defect to Tang An, she had to show corresponding sincerity.

On Kunlun Mountain, the status of Hetong and the deer demon was second only to Nanji Xianweng. So her words still carried weight.

Tang An rubbed the tip of her nose with her index finger and then took out her mobile phone to take a few photos.

Especially the photo of her golden brick being held in that immortal's hand; in short, there was proof in pictures, and she only acted because her golden brick was snatched, right.

"Alright, halftime is over; let's enter the second half of the match."

Competing in what? Competing in who gets beaten harder.

If it hadn't been Tang An who came here today, but someone else, who knows how badly they would have been bullied.

They should be thankful that Tang An is currently just a mortal. Even when beating people, it's just pure physical attacks with magic tools.

Otherwise, based on the quality of the magic treasures Tang An brought out, they would probably have been beaten until their souls scattered long ago.

"Whew~"

"Satisfying."

Tang An tossed her beautiful hair with satisfaction and struck a cool pose. Then she took a group photo with the miserable-looking immortals and let them go.

"Remember, next time I come, I'll still look for you guys to play."

"I just love fighting with you straw-bag immortals; it gives a little mortal like me so much superiority."
