Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1458 - 916: Immortal Official Token (2)

Those who commit such vile acts, are invariably practitioners of deceitful and hidden sorcery.

And the Taixuan Sect, what they cut down are precisely such people, why bother about who you are?

From beginning to end, Ying Ji, who had remained silent, finally spoke softly, her voice akin to thin frost, cool and tranquil:

"Though your face is masked, and I cannot discern who you are, yet..."

Her phoenix eyes lightly lifted, the pupils seemed to have reached the utmost blackness, and the utmost coldness.

With one faint statement, it’s as if the man was suddenly enveloped in ice and snow pouring into the crown of his head.

"The corpse aura emanating from you cannot be masked by the tea fragrance here, do you still need someone to act and kill?

Were I not yet blind, I might suspect that standing before me is a rotting fish resurrected, with only the innards left."

Baili An was also shocked and startled for a moment, thinking she might have been possessed by Fang Geyu.

Though alive for many years, and dead for many more, it was the first time he saw his mother cursing so intensely without vulgarity.

Indeed, the man’s complexion alternated between green and pale, yet it was accompanied by deep disbelief.

As if unable to comprehend why this woman could see through the subtleties of his body with one glance.

Seeing him in utter shock, Baili An couldn’t help but find it amusing.

It’s to be known, standing before him was no ordinary person, but an Empress who founded an entire Dynasty of ten thousand ghosts.

Not to mention the corpse aura, anything related to evil spirits and death, in her presence, has nowhere to hide.

Until now did the man’s face first reveal a flustered look: "Nonsense! Utter nonsense! I am a living person, not what you say..."

Ying Ji interrupted with a cold laugh: "I never said you were dead, just spoke of the corpse aura around you.

Clearly a living soul, yet the corpse aura emanates from within outward.

You young one, the sorcery you cultivate is indeed not of the usual dark arts.

Not to say Taixuan Sect can kill you, but if the godly beings of the Upper Pure Realm become aware, heaven should condemn you!"

As the last note sounded, it’s as if words become spirit, the sky suddenly exploded with thunder on a dry day, purple lightning tore through the heavens, echoing thunder reverberating as if exploding in everyone’s ears.

In an instant, the man seemed to have his mind tightly grasped, retreating half a step, his face turning deathly pale.

Then, he steadied himself, forcing a composed expression and coldly laughed: "Really now? I’m inclined to see, who dares kill me!"

Saying this, he spread his palm, with spirit light condensed, a purple-gold Token floating above his palm.

Ying Ji’s face withdrew her cold smile, furrowing her brows, her expression seeming to turn solemn and somber: "Immortal Official Token?"

The Immortal Official Token belongs to Immortals of the Upper Pure Realm, extremely precious, each Immortal possessing but one.

If such a precious token is granted to another, it implies the utmost protection, valued as though one’s life.

The Immortals of the Upper Pure Realm are ranked in tiers, this Immortal Official Token naturally follows suit.

The purple-gold order belongs to the Golden Immortals, and Golden Immortals’ status is second only to the Venerable Immortal, for the Mortal World, a Golden Immortal is an insurmountable and immense entity.

Such a man of sinister and peculiar nature, surprisingly has the protection of a Golden Immortal.

This means, if intent on taking his life, one would certainly be opposing a Golden Immortal.

Ask throughout the Eight Desolates, Four Seas and Six Directions, who dares thus to battle the heavens, to battle the Immortals?

"Indeed, quite troublesome." Ying Ji’s gaze slightly taunting: "Now these heavens’ Immortals idle without affairs, actually granting their Immortal Official Token casually, such generosity, even I cannot compare!"

Baili An couldn’t help glancing at his mother.

Knowing that Ying Ji, having founded the Central Netherworld Dynasty, always acted unrestrained.

Whether human or immortal, in death, they should ultimately be returned to the overseeing of Central Netherworld and Nine Nethers, yet Golden Immortals differ from other Immortals.

Central Netherworld’s reach does not extend to the Immortal World, not to mention Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan, who has always favored those Immortal officials born from orthodox Taoist lineage.

Towards the Taiyin Emperor’s path of Deceitful Dao, though appearing fair on the surface, truly has undertones of reprimand.

Thus, even for Ying Ji, unless necessary, she would avoid direct conflict with Golden Immortals.

The Immortal Official Token often symbolizes identity and glory, obtaining a Golden Immortal’s grant implies viewing this person as more significant than one’s own life.

To choose to kill this person now would indeed be unwise, rather bringing great disaster upon oneself.

Under the man’s gaze, Wen Hanwei indeed halted her steps.

Yet before he could relax, Wen Hanwei did not release her grip on the sword hilt.

Her wrist lightly exerted, the sword sheath vibrated, the sword body akin to a mirror slid out an inch.

The sword seal scattered like chaotic snowflakes, bursting forth from the black-gold sword sheath, dazzling light reflected off the silvery sword body, the sharp Sword Intent invading one’s skin.

Zi chi!!

Without any visible change in her stance, the man’s abdomen was suddenly sliced open with a deep red sword cut, blood spurting forth.

Simultaneously, the Immortal Official Token in his hand shone brightly.

Though Wen Hanwei’s Sword Qi was as sharp as an ice blade, when truly landing on the man, the Qi was already mostly dissipated, greatly reducing lethality.

Were it not so, that slash would have been enough to cleave him in half!

The man was absolutely aghast, suffering in pain!

He clutched his abdomen wound, stumbling back three steps, looking at Wen Hanwei as if seeing a lunatic.

Yet as his gaze met hers for an instant, the man suddenly felt an intense panic, then instinctive fear crawled from his back swiftly to the crown of his head.

She intends to kill him! Not that she wishes to kill him!

This woman! Requires no extensive thought nor judgment, to her eyes, that Immortal Official Token bears no more significance than a common Defensive Magic Artifact.
