Not necessarily?

Jiang Fan and Gu Biyue both looked towards Gu Bikong in unison. If the elder fled, he would surely bring stronger reinforcements, which, of course, would be a great trouble.

Why did Gu Bikong say not necessarily?

With a smile on his face, Gu Bikong said, “Think about it, this old man is at the Divinity Transformation Stage, yet he couldn’t even beat a fellow at the Complete Golden Core Stage, and had to burn his True Yuan and vitality to escape. Such a disgraceful act, does he have the guts to mention it?”

“If he really mentioned it, how could he hold his head high in the South Mysterious Alliance?”

Gu Biyue shook her head, “But he died because of their Young Alliance Master, how dare he conceal that?”

Jiang Fan quite agreed with Gu Biyue’s words and nodded, “Exactly, I believe that very soon there will be those at the Fusion Dao Stage, or even stronger, rushing here. We better avoid them for now!”

“Once we return, let’s go into the Immortal Palace to cultivate. This time, we’ll genuinely concentrate on cultivation. After tens of years inside, when we come out, there will be nothing to worry about.”

Gu Bikong pondered, “What you say makes sense. Next time we see that old man, our cultivation will surely surpass his by a great margin. I really want to see his expression then!”

The three quickly left. Unbeknownst to them, a figure slowly emerged from the earth right where they had been standing before.

It was a short old man, clothed in an earthy yellow robe, with a gaunt face and a sharp chin, his eyes fixated on the direction the trio had left in. “Immortal Palace? What place is that?”

“To not fear the South Mysterious Alliance after cultivating for tens of years indicates that this Immortal Palace is extraordinary. Hmm, follow them and have a look!”

The three entered the gates of Sixty-nine district, heading straight for their courtyard. Before long, they were back home.

The small courtyard had a new addition compared to before – a very ordinary­looking hut, which was transformed from the Immortal Palace.

The trio entered the Immortal Palace, and after that, there was no more movement.

The old man came out from a corner of the courtyard, sniffing with his pointed nose, his gaze fixed on the hut. “The aura vanishes at the doorway—it must be here!”

He looked around cautiously, and seeing the courtyard deserted, he tiptoed towards the hut.

However, at the doorstep, he was repelled by a fierce force and could not enter the hut!

“Strange, is there anywhere that Elder Tu can’t get in?” The elder rubbed his hands together and approached the hut again.

Inside the Immortal Palace, Li Cheng, who was in the middle of Alchemy, sensed something and smiled slyly, “Senior Tianyuan, the show begins!”

The Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened them, looking at Li Cheng with confusion.

Li Cheng gestured towards the door.

At the same moment, the old man claiming to be Elder Tu reached the front of the hut, and with his full Immortal Yuan Power surging, he pushed against the door.

But the door suddenly swung open, Elder Tu pushed on nothing, and stumbled in!

The scenery before him transformed; what kind of hut was this? It was in fact a vast little world!

The place was picturesque, a veritable paradise, with the air rich in nature’s spiritual energy and Immortal Qi, along with the dense gathering of Laws!

“A cultivation Holy Land! Who would have thought there was such a cultivation sanctuary hidden in Sixty-nine district?”

“This isn’t right, this isn’t right; if there was such a cultivation holy land, it would have been moved by the Inner City long ago. This must be the work of a distinguished master!”

Elder Tu’s response was quick, and without hesitation, he turned to leave, knowing that barging in like this must have alerted the master.

If the master was in a bad mood, it was quite possible that he would be in for a nasty surprise!

But after retreating a few steps, he could no longer find the way he had come in. Everywhere he looked were mountains, with no apparent way out.

He was not panicked, however. He sniffed with his nose, listened intently, and raised an eyebrow slightly, “An Illusion Array!”

“Nothing interesting to see here, just a Mole.” The voice of the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan arose.

“Uh? Not interesting? This is the first time I’ve seen a mole become a fairy!”

Two voices, seemingly deliberately let Elder Tu hear them.

Elder Tu quickly bowed, “The ‘little immortal’ pays respect to the two distinguished masters. I have mistakenly entered your treasured land and ask for your forgiveness.”

“Mistakenly wandered in? You’re not being honest, old rat,” Li Cheng said.

Elder Tu’s upper lip trembled, and his two mustaches quivered, “Eminent ones, we bear no grievances from the past nor resentments recently, please spare this humble immortal for the hardships of cultivation.”

“Let him go. He’s just a mole, not very interesting,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.

Li Cheng smiled, “Elder Tu, is it? Let me see if you can get through this illusion array!”

The Immortal Palace had many formations set up, naturally including illusion arrays. This was merely a level six illusion array, without any lethal power, meant only to bewilder, but even common Immortal Monarchs wouldn’t be able to break through it.

Li Cheng’s words made Elder Tu realize that he had been watched since he had entered the courtyard!

And he had been completely unaware of it.

“If I can get through it, would you allow me to leave, great ones?” Elder Tu asked.

“Yes!”

As Li Cheng’s voice fell, Elder Tu nodded, his form aiming towards the ground as he transformed back into his true form, sniffing about and roaming around with his snout.

His true form looked similar to that of an ordinary mole, covered in earthy yellow fur.

“When a mystical creature becomes an immortal, its special abilities are magnified, and this mole has undergone a mutation, we have been misled!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suddenly said.

Li Cheng looked at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “What kind of mutation? It looks like he can’t get out of the illusion array at all.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan smiled, “Indeed, he can’t get out, but if you take out an Immortal Elixir, he will immediately be able to escape the illusion array!”

Li Cheng was puzzled. What did that mean? Elder Tu was inside the illusion array and he was outside, taking out an Immortal Elixir…

Could it be that this mutated mole can sense heavenly treasures and earthly marvels?

If so, wouldn’t that make him an extremely rare Treasure Hunting Rat?

Li Cheng became curious and casually took out an ordinary Immortal Elixir and placed it at his feet.

Just then, Li Cheng suddenly realized that the mole had indeed gotten out of the illusion array, his form flickering, appearing about a dozen feet away from Li Cheng, eyes gleaming as he stared at the Immortal Elixir.

Li Cheng laughed, put away the Immortal Elixir, and looked at the mole, “A Perfect Daluo Golden Immortal, just barely in cultivation, but with quite remarkable abilities.”

The mole hastily transformed back into a human shape, returning to the appearance of the little old man, his eyes swirling with shock and uncertainty, “But you said earlier, once I was out of the illusion array, you would let me go.”

A bad feeling arose in his heart, especially with the way Li Cheng was looking at him; why did it seem somewhat lecherous?

He seemed to want… no, he clearly desired to possess him!

“You, you’re an esteemed being, you cannot do this, what do you want to do?” Elder Tu said, somewhat panicked, retreating continuously.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, “What are you talking about? Speak clearly!”

His words made it seem as though he had some ulterior motive.

“I am speaking clearly, but that greedy look in your eyes, aren’t you harboring improper thoughts about me?” Elder Tu said flusteredly.

Li Cheng frowned and looked at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “This rat is being indecent!”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan turned and drifted aimlessly inside the palace, paying no attention to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng looked at Elder Tu, “I’ll be blunt then, submit to me!”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suddenly stopped his aimless drifting, turned his head in surprise, and looked at Li Cheng, “Did I hear that wrong? You want to take him in?”

Li Cheng nodded, “His abilities are quite good!”

The ability to find treasures would definitely be of great use!

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan waved a hand dismissively, “No, that’s not what I meant, what I mean is, you want to recruit him with just one sentence?”

Submit to me!

Anyone who heard these words would think they were coming from a madman.
