Chapter 1035

Since then, the God of Immortality had never shown himself again.

It was the Qinglong Society that approached the Great Yuan Imperial Court and bloodily purged the upper echelons of the Great Yuan.

This God of Immortality, from beginning to end, never showed himself.

Who would have thought that this God of Immortality, who had been hiding as if he were a recluse, would suddenly appear in this foreign Great Ming?

It is truly very strange!

"What? Does this seat's movements need to be reported to General Zhebie?"

The God of Immortality raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhebie with a faint expression as he asked.

That word "General" was even steeped in a few notes of mockery.

Zhebie gave a startled jump, only then understanding.

Even if the late Khan Tie Muzhen were still alive, he would not have dared to question the God of Immortality.

Moreover, to win him over, he had not hesitated to bestow upon him the title of Chief Guardian of the Nation.

What kind of small fry was he himself, to dare question him?

At once Zhebie was terrified and uneasy, sweat pouring down like rain as he said,

"Forgive me, Master, forgive me!

Zhebie merely hadn't seen the Master for too long, was momentarily overjoyed, and so spoke recklessly.

For the offense, I beg the Master to pardon me."

The God of Immortality gave a cold smile and said,

"No matter! In fact, this seat's appearance here is all for the sake of the Great Yuan."

"For the sake of the Great Yuan?"

Zhebie and General Chilaowen were quite puzzled.

"Do you know why these three Heavenly Cardamom pods were specifically demanded by name by the Qinglong Society?"

The God of Immortality asked faintly.

"We do not know! We humbly ask the Master to enlighten us."

Speaking of the Heavenly Cardamom, Zhebie and General Chilaowen truly did not know what was so important about this thing.

Especially General Chilaowen, after all, among the three Heavenly Cardamom pods, he had once possessed one.

During the time he held it, he had also toyed with and investigated it.

Yet he had never discovered what other marvelous properties this peculiar cardamom had, besides refreshing his mind and slightly increasing his cultivation speed.

As for the Qinglong Society's purpose in demanding it, he was even more in the dark.

"Hehe, it's not good to speak of that now."

Unexpectedly, the God of Immortality did not answer directly, but suddenly said,

"Seeing Meng Chixing, how long do you intend to keep eavesdropping?"

In fact, the God of Immortality, Zhebie, and General Chilaowen had all already known that Meng Chixing had finished bathing and returned.

Hiding deep in the distant jujube forest, making no move.

It was just that what the God of Immortality said was too important, so Zhebie and General Chilaowen did not wish to bother with Meng Chixing.

Now that the God of Immortality spoke up, Meng Chixing naturally could no longer stay hidden.

His figure flashed, and he came to the side of the God of Immortality, bowing while saying with a face full of embarrassment,

"Master, it is not that Meng Chixing did not show himself, but truly feared disturbing the Master..."

"Enough, enough, you just properly search through that Tianxian Star's memories, and find the clue to the third Heavenly Cardamom."

The God of Immortality waved his hand, not bothering to argue with him.

Zhebie and General Chilaowen, hearing this, immediately became interested.

As expected, Tianxian Star's memories truly contained a clue to the third Heavenly Cardamom!

Now that the Heaven-Reliant Sword was out of the question, if they could obtain the third Heavenly Cardamom, it would count as a decent result for the mission.

At once the two of them also watched Meng Chixing without blinking, wanting him to search his memories as quickly as possible.

Seeing these three big shots all looking at him, Meng Chixing also felt tremendous pressure.

Not daring to say more, he immediately secretly circulated his demonic art and began searching his memories.

Fortunately, Tianxian Star was unsociable and taciturn by nature.

His memories were far fewer than those of Tianjiu Star.

After a brief search, Meng Chixing immediately found the useful portion.

He excitedly opened his eyes and said,

"Found it!"

"Where?"

Zhebie asked impatiently.

"There is no specific location, only that Zhu Wushi said within the Fire Lake of Tianshan, there might be a clue to the third Heavenly Cardamom."

Meng Chixing frowned and said as much.

"A clue? How is it still just a clue?"

Zhebie could not help but get exasperated, meaning after all this fuss, they still hadn't found the third Heavenly Cardamom!

"Having a clue is ultimately better than us searching blindly, right!"

General Chilaowen, however, took it in stride, and could not help but suggest,

"Then shall we set out immediately now, heading to the Fire Lake of Tianshan to search for it?"

"It ought to be so!"

The God of Immortality nodded slightly, then his fingertip moved gently.

A wisp of invisible true essence swept through the air.

Yet it snuffed out the life force of the few remaining Tiangang secret agents.

"You go on ahead, this venerable one will arrive shortly!"

"Hmm? Dharma Chief isn't going to act together with us?"

General Zhebie found it strange and could not help asking.

"Since Zhu Wushi has begun searching for the third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, I suppose this news cannot be hidden for long.

Before long, the major factions and experts of this world will all head to Tianshan.

If this venerable one goes with you, won't it expose our true strength?

If I stay in the shadows and you remain in the open,

they won't be able to figure out our true capabilities, and we'll have a better chance of obtaining this third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom!"

The God of Immortality actually deigned to answer General Zhebie's question.

"Eh? The number one expert of this world is that undeservingly famous Iron-Blooded Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi.

If that boy weren't favored by destiny, a child of fortune, I would have killed him outside Yunzhou Shaolin last time.

Yet the Dharma Chief says so—could there be other experts in this world?"

General Chilaowen's tone was arrogant, but it was also fact.

If not for fortune's interference, he wanted to kill Zhu Wushi—Zhu Wushi would likely have died long ago.

"You do have some spiritual roots."

The God of Immortality nodded with a smile,

"Alright, hurry along! This venerable one will follow in the shadows."

After saying this, the God of Immortality did not elaborate further; he merely shifted his form and vanished once more.

General Zhebie had no choice but to discuss matters with General Chilaowen.

Both felt that, having failed to obtain the Heaven-Crouching Sword this time, they truly had no face to return to the Great Yuan of the Nine Provinces.

This Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom, according to the God of Immortality, seemed to have mysterious uses and origins.

If they obtained it and returned to the Great Yuan of the Nine Provinces, it would likely count as a meritorious deed.

Far better than going back empty-handed as they were now.

Once the two had finished their discussion, they paid no heed to Meng Chixing's thoughts, identified the direction of Tianshan, and immediately launched into movement techniques to set off.

Seeing Meng Chixing ignored, he too could not help but grow anxious and angry.

He knew that his earlier display of loyalty to the God of Immortality had offended the two generals.

But since the God of Immortality was also in the shadows, he had to follow no matter what.
