Chapter 1149: Heaven-Defying Purple Gold Bottle

"Fellow Daoist Jiamu!"

"You take the left, I'll take the right!"

"He can't run!"

Above the dense forest in the mountains, a streak of green light swept past, quickly switching from one direction to another.

And Daoist Jiamu flew over from the other side.

The two were urgently chasing a young man.

The young man looked very disheveled, with cultivation only at the eighth layer of the Earth Immortal stage, but his speed was extremely fast, no slower than the two Jiamu people chasing behind him.

It was just that his aura was restless, and it looked like his internal breath was insufficient.

Swoosh...

He Pingsheng turned into a streak of light, and with a bang, landed in front of the young man, completely blocking his path.

"Hahaha..."

"Let's see where you can run to now

The two in pursuit laughed happily, and in less than a breath, they landed behind the young man respectively.

"Many thanks to this..."

Jia Mu bowed slightly toward He Pingsheng, but halfway through his words, his complexion suddenly turned ashen: "It's you?"

"You are He Pingsheng?"

Three gazes all turned toward He Pingsheng.

Jia Mu was full of astonishment and terror; the Celestial Immortal accompanying Jia Mu was full of confusion.

As for the young man with the erratic aura, when he looked at He Pingsheng, his eyes were filled with a trace of hatred.

Indeed!

If He Pingsheng hadn't intervened so abruptly to block him, he might have already escaped by now!

"How do you want to die?" He Pingsheng stared at Jia Mu with a calm expression.

At this question, apart from Jia Mu, the other two were stunned.

A mere Earth Immortal stage fellow, blocking a Celestial Immortal, and asking how they want to die?

Are you crazy?

"Fellow Daoist Jia Mu!" The old Daoist accompanying Jia Mu revealed a trace of mockery in his eyes: "Who is this?"

"How can he have such a big mouth?"

"Could it be that he is holding your Heavenly Dao Slave Seal?"

The young man took a deep breath. Although he was confused, he didn't care much. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to take out a Golden Core from his storage ring and swallowed it.

"Fellow Daoist He!" Jia Mu did not answer the old Daoist's words, but bowed and said, "I have never participated in the oppression of your Red Lotus Immortal Valley, and now that the three sects have merged and you have already conquered Mount Kunwu, can't you leave a path for survival?"

"Besides... if we trace it back, we are all of the same lineage, all disciples and grandchildren of the Kunwu Ancestor!"

He Pingsheng said: "Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes!"

"I naturally know what you have done. You not only oppressed our Red Lotus Immortal Valley, but you also forced one of my uncles from the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion back then. Am I wrong about this?"

Jia Mu, who had wanted to muddle through, suddenly changed his expression: "Fine, fine, fine... indeed, I did all these things!"

"He Pingsheng, I know I cannot beat you!"

"And if you want to kill me, I will surely die today!"

Jia Mu was no fool. When he returned from his travels, his sect had been destroyed. He naturally inquired about the situation in secret and learned of He Pingsheng's appearance and abilities.

Therefore, facing He Pingsheng now, he did not make any move to escape or resist.

It must be said, he was very wise.

"How about this!" Jia Mu said: "I will tell you a secret that will allow you to obtain a heaven-defying treasure. Can it trade for my life?"

At these words, the young man's expression was startled, but he did not speak.

"Fellow Daoist Jia Mu!" The old Daoist beside him spoke up to stop him: "Absolutely not..."

"This thing must never fall into his hands!"

"He is just a mere Earth Immortal, what are you afraid of?"

"You may be afraid of him, but I am not!"

"If you have some leverage held by him that makes it inconvenient for you to act, I will act on your behalf!"

The old man did not think that He Pingsheng could kill across ranks; after all, such a situation exceeded his understanding.

In his understanding, the reason Jia Mu feared He Pingsheng so much was likely because key things like the Heavenly Dao Slave Seal or life-bound curses were controlled by He Pingsheng.

Therefore, he assumed the posture of helping Jia Mu.

But Jia Mu, for some unknown reason, did not deny it.

Because of this, the old man thought Jia Mu was controlled by He Pingsheng, so he waved his hand, took out an Immortal Sword, and slashed toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng did not make a move; he simply took out a 【Mixed Heaven Sword Talisman】 and easily activated it.

Boom—a sword light that reached the heavens and covered the earth drowned everything.

The Celestial Immortal old man in front was killed within a single breath.

A rain of blood swept across the void and fell into the dense forest below; the golden divine blood hit the ground and ignited patches of fire.

This strike shocked the remaining two, their expressions changing drastically.

However, after the shock, their expressions returned to normal.

How should I put it?

It looked shocking at first glance, but in reality, it was unremarkable.

I admire you for killing across ranks, but using a top-tier third-grade talisman to kill is borrowing external force, not your own ability.

"Where is the treasure?" He Pingsheng turned to look at Jia Mu: "Hand over the treasure. If it is truly a heaven-defying item, I can spare your life!"

"Not only will I spare your life, but I will also let you return to Mount Kunwu to continue serving as an Elder!"

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed his finger at the young man and said: "It is him... he has a purple-gold bottle on him. That bottle can absorb the light of the sun, moon, and stars between heaven and earth, thereby transforming it into a special liquid!"

"This liquid can not only instantly restore a dried-up dantian, but it can also neutralize almost all poisons in this world!"

"More importantly, this liquid also has the use of ripening immortal herbs and immortal trees!"

"What?" Hearing this, He Pingsheng's brain suddenly heated up.

He turned his head abruptly to look at the young man.

In his eyes, there was no greed, but deep fear.

How could such a thing exist?

Absorbing the light of the sun, moon, and stars—if it were just for neutralizing poison and restoring the dantian, that would be one thing, but the heaven-defying function of 【ripening immortal herbs】 almost drove He Pingsheng crazy.

What is this?

Isn't this the second form of my Treasure Gathering Basin?

Just think about it: various immortal ginsengs with ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or a million years of age are within reach. What kind of concept is this?

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." He Pingsheng gasped several times.

He looked at the young man deeply for a few moments, then turned his head back to Jia Mu and said: "You dog, I thought it was your treasure, but you tell me this treasure is on someone else. Are you harboring evil intentions and trying to get me killed?"

"Die!"

In his great rage, He Pingsheng directly took out another Immortal Talisman and activated it with a boom, unleashing a thousand-foot sword light to kill the Daoist Jia Mu.

This great rage was not faked; it was genuine.

The secret Jia Mu revealed was, in He Pingsheng's view, absolutely harboring evil intentions.

If He Pingsheng snatched the treasure, he would not only owe someone a massive karmic debt, but he would also attract everyone's pursuit.

If I don't snatch it, I, damn it, won't be able to get such a treasure.

Either way, killing Jia Mu was the right thing to do.
