Chapter 514: with translation of chapter title

Kill!

The green-tailed men's shouts rose one after another, their spears tightly aimed at the two old men in fur coats.

The red-tailed youth felt a little panicked, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

But the old man's face shifted between surprise and doubt, then suddenly flew into a rage, picked up the cane on the ground, and slammed it down: "Outsider, what a sharp tongue, you boys have been had……"

As he spoke, he began to mutter strange words.

The green-tailed men's excited emotions gradually calmed, as if they had suddenly understood, and they once again raised their spears, aiming at Heng Xian and Sun Bufan.

Sun Bufan felt a bit embarrassed: "Master Xian, what did the old man say?"

Heng Xian remained silent for three breaths: "That touches a blind spot in my knowledge!"

Sun Bufan rolled his eyes, pointing at the old man: "If you've got the guts, speak the cultivation world's official language—what's the point of speaking bird language?"

The old man sneered, again striking the ground hard with his cane: "Kill!"

Heng Xian waved his hand, cutting him off again: "All right, all right, I know you're strong, but bullying the few with the many—what kind of hero is that? I'll draw a line; you take it, how about that?"

The old man blinked: "Huh?"

Heng Xian said: "You send one person to fight me; if you win, we'll let you do as you wish; if we win, you scram—how about that?"

As his words fell, the red-tailed youth threw his head back and laughed: "My Hu Wudi's fists haven't been unleashed in ages; within three hundred li, I have no equal—since you want a match, come on!"

The old man also narrowed his eyes, gave a slight nod: "Wudi, go ahead!"

The red-tailed youth hesitated not, leaping up and charging straight at Heng Xian; while still midair, a dazzling fiery red light flared around him, and monstrous aura surged forth—he actually possessed the cultivation of a mid-stage Golden Core.

Moreover, the monstrous aura was not just aura; it condensed together, forming an outline as if empowering magical power.

Man borrows the aura, the aura uses man as its backing; the momentum is like heaven and earth overturning, leaving one breathless.

Sun Bufan turned pale with fright, shouting: "A mid-stage Golden Core, a major demon who cultivates primarily with strength, Master Xian!"

Heng Xian also silently observed; this monster called Hu Wudi had an astonishingly mighty aura, and his strength was enough to split mountains and crack stones.

Furthermore, the demon's innate form is naturally stronger than a human's; equivalent to a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, yet its strength far surpasses that of a human mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Even he, without a sword, would fare poorly if he forced a confrontation.

Seeing Hu Wudi arrive, Heng Xian rubbed his nose, stepped forward, pointed at Hu Wudi, and said: "Freeze!"

The "Mysterious Spirit Immobilization Technique" was passed down from an old lady in the strange Fengying Lane of the Great Zhou Imperial Capital; it has a miraculous ability—only to see a strand of spiritual power appear within Heng Xian's body, instantly spreading out to envelop Hu Wudi.

In midair, Hu Wudi's mighty body instantly stiffened!

This stiffening was good—his aura dissipated at once.

Heng Xian seized the moment and lifted his leg for a flying kick.

"Whoosh—"

Hu Wudi flew backward faster than he had come, landing spread-eagle.

He came in a fury, left in a cowardly retreat.

All around fell into dead silence.

The green-tailed men who had been raising their spears and shouting froze.

The old man in the fur coat also looked bewildered.

Sun Bufan looked at Heng Xian: "Master Xian, what kind of ghostly technique is this? Immobilization?"

Heng Xian ignored him, casually blowing on his fingertip as if he had just finished firing a gun.

Hu Wudi remained spread-eagle, eyes wide open, staring at the sky.

Until the old man in the fur coat poked him with his cane.

Hu Wudi looked at him blankly: "Grandpa, I lost!"

The old man in the fur coat's expression grew grave, and he said in a low voice: "Retreat!"

Hu Wudi jumped to his feet, hair bristling with rage: "No! I haven't lost!"

The old man in the fur coat glanced warily at Heng Xian, then said to Hu Wudi in a language humans couldn't understand.

Hu Wudi widened his eyes, then slowly retreated while looking at Heng Xian.

The surrounding green-tailed men also retreated.

Immediately, the old man was the first to take off at a full sprint.

Everyone followed, fleeing as if escaping, and soon they all vanished into the vast wilderness.

"Come on! If you've got the guts, don't run!"

Sun Bufan's spirits rose; he jumped up and shouted: "You really think I'm easy to bully when I don't lose my temper? If you've got the guts, don't run!"

As he spoke, his gaze toward Heng Xian and his voice gradually weakened: "Just go if you want; it's no big deal."

Heng Xian patted himself down and walked toward the nearby tent.

Sun Bufan followed up: "Right, why did they suddenly run? Were they scared by you?"

Heng Xian said: "You should be thinking more about how we're going to relocate now!"

Sun Bufan thought for a moment, then said: "Are you worried these native demons will come back to bother us?"

Heng Xian said: "Whether they come to bother us or not doesn't matter; what's important is that those people from the Flower Building will almost certainly come looking for us!"

Sun Bufan glanced around: "Are you that sure?"

Heng Xian said: "I suddenly realized that you all just think of doing the opposite and hiding, but you haven't considered that this place is very likely the necessary route to the depths of the demon realm; whether it's the sword marks ahead or these natives' encounters, they probably can't hide it from them."

Sun Bufan scratched his head: "Then let's relocate!"

The two were talking as they arrived in front of the tent.

Heng Xian glanced inside and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Su Ji, Lin Shuyu, and nearly twenty others had all entered a deep meditative state, self‑observing to heal their wounds.

In this state one can only sit still and must not be disturbed; if something goes wrong, at best the injuries worsen and vital energy is severely damaged, the foundation is ruined; at worst, one suffers qi deviation, spiritual energy reverses, and the body explodes.

Sun Bufan also saw it, and couldn't help frowning as he said: "They really have guts, entering such a deep meditative state—can't be moved, can't be disturbed—what can we do?"

Heng Xian also had no good idea, he opened the "Mysterious Yellow Heavenly Hexagram": "How can we get them away from here? Give me an idea!"

The hexagram showed something quite abrupt: 【We're out of time! Ten li to the south, the enemy has arrived, searching from south to north!】

Heng Xian abruptly turned his head to look south.

Indeed! Several li away, faintly one could sense several streams of aura approaching.

He divined another hexagram: 【Give me a reasonable plan!】

The hexagram showed: 【No need to worry about this realm's weakness; someday the host will ascend the Heaven-Reaching Grand Avenue and enter the Immortal Sea. Of the people here, only a few will remain; the rest will be nothing but dry bones and dirt!】

Suggestion: leave quickly, head straight northwest, seek the Fate Opportunity!】

Motherfucker!

Heng Xian couldn't help but curse; this hexagram is powerful, powerful, but it likes to drag oneself toward a ruthless direction.

Now abandoning everyone and not caring—let alone the fact that Lin Shuyu, who is on good terms with him, and his fellow disciples are among them; even from a moral standpoint, it's unjustifiable.

After thinking, he ordered: "Bu Fan, Hua Lou is chasing after us—immediately bend the grass to cover this place, creating the scene of a chaotic wilderness!"

Sun Bufan nodded: "What about you?"

Heng Xian took a deep breath: "I'll go lead them on a detour; if I don't come back, immediately think of a way to wake everyone up—escaping with our lives is the top priority!"

"Understood!" Sun Bufan nodded.

Heng Xian hesitated no more; his form flashed to a distance.

He sprinted several li, climbed a large tree, and looked ahead.

Seven people!

Gongsun Lier, Shen Kai, Young Master Wu, Ye Zimei, and another three youths at the Primordial Dan Realm!
