Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1704 - 1019: Wild

"Is it cooperation or becoming fish meat for others to carve? Lord Feng Xu, perhaps you can be more direct."

A trace of undisguisable ferocity rose in Fang Geyu’s eyes.

"It seems Miss Fang, you have yet to clearly recognize your own stance..."

Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s half-closed eyes, like those of an ancient beast in slumber, slowly opened, his full pressure spreading like a mountain pressing down on a city.

The force made the entire building shake incessantly.

"Miss Fang San and the cultivators in this city are but a piece of fish meat under this seat’s palm."

Baili An’s toe lightly tapped the ground, calming the violently trembling Wanggui Building.

Though his cultivation was far from that of Golden Immortal Feng Xu, in terms of aura and pressure...

The Venerable Immortal Bone, regardless of which decaying body it resided in, had an innate, absolute suppressing power over the Golden Immortal Bone.

"It seems with Tan Guangjun’s help in controlling the Judgement Scepter, Lord Feng Xu has gained quite the confidence."

Golden Immortal Feng Xu saw that the aura pressure was ineffective, slowly closing his eyes again, showing a sinister smile:

"My confidence comes from Tan Guangjun, and he is right beside me, within arm’s reach. As for the Central Netherworld Empress, hailing with such confidence from Young Master Ji, where might she be?"

The seemingly mindless remark hid deeper meaning.

Baili An understood, his face instantly darkening, his voice low and dangerous:

"I advise you, don’t entertain foolish thoughts that shouldn’t be had."

Golden Immortal Feng Xu chuckled softly: "It seems Young Master Ji didn’t return home last night.

It’s arduous work for you and Miss Fang to capture my apprentice Qi Guang.

Aren’t you curious about the whereabouts of the Empress, Your Majesty?"

The morning sky suddenly turned cold and dark, as if plunging back into night, followed by a loud, dull rumble.

A purple thunderbolt birthed from the void descended, the thunder intent majestic, striking directly at his head.

Baili An’s palm shimmered with thunder mist, his gaze intense, like molten iron churning within.

His expression was so chilling it was almost terrifying.

Tan Guangjun’s expression slightly changed, sensing the concealed divine talisman intent within the thunder, unwilling to receive it directly, he sidestepped in the wind’s flash.

Golden Immortal Feng Xu, however, neither dodged nor evaded, maintaining his eerie smile, allowing his body to be struck and shattered by the thunderlight.

No blood splattered, nor was there any scorched smell from his body.

The missing half of his body revealed a faint bluish glow within the wound.

"Manifestation!" Baili An’s eyes, black and white, held an icy chill, his sharp face gloomy and fearsome.

"Isn’t it too late to notice now?"

Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s manifestation gradually disintegrated into glowing dust, dispersing.

His transparent face bore a richly nuanced smile:

"Do you think I’m just a foolish apprentice who suppresses with brute force alone?

You two schemed overnight to capture the people by my side.

I naturally won’t sit and wait, there should be mutual etiquette."

He looked down at the headless corpse beneath his feet, smiling faintly:

"After all, Qi Guang has been with me for hundreds of years; I must seek compensation from Young Master Ji."

As his words settled, the manifestation finally succumbed to the thunderlight’s refinement, turning into a handful of glowing dust, vanishing with the wind.

Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s words made Fang Geyu extremely uncomfortable, "What did he mean by that... "

Her tone paused as she saw Baili An still staring intently at the spot where Feng Xu’s manifestation vanished, his gaze so cold it seemed ready to devour, looking incredibly frightening.

Baili An took a deep breath, striving to calm the nearly bursting blood energy.

Under Fang Geyu’s silently watching eyes, the numbed and rigid blood in his veins began flowing once more.

He slowly released his unknowingly clinched fist, recounting recent events of Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s secret actions against the demon alliance’s dark department members to her.

Fang Geyu’s expression immediately turned grave, "You mean to say, he’s targeting the Central Netherworld Empress?"

Baili An’s face didn’t look good: "I’ll go check the residence first."

However, Fang Geyu shook her head, "Going back now might just waste time and energy, given Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s earlier confidence..."

"Impossible." Baili An gritted his teeth, his face unsightly: "She is the Central Netherworld Empress, she wouldn’t be captured just like that!

She had enough power to duel Golden Immortal Feng Xu during the Sea God Festival.

If Golden Immortal Feng Xu truly acted last night, the city wouldn’t be so peaceful."

Fang Geyu’s eyes flickered with uncertainty; she seemed to remember something suddenly and pulled on Baili An’s sleeve, saying: "Come with me to Qianyin Pavilion."

Baili An remembered Qianyin Pavilion as the residence of Steward Qin Lou.

Fang Geyu was about to summon the golden chariot to leave when she remembered.

Within this Wanggui Building, there was still the troublesome Tan Guangjun.

Clearly, this person, who held his future and career above principles and truth, had been persuaded by Golden Immortal Feng Xu—just another jackal of the same tribe.

Murderous intent flickered in Fang Geyu’s eyes, the Ten Directions Sword beneath her palm hummed incessantly.

Perhaps for others, slaying an immortal was a great taboo, but she had no such qualms.

Sensing Fang Geyu’s killing intent, Tan Guangjun felt an inexplicable chill crawling up his body.

Without showing it, he frowned slightly, raising his head to look at the girl, whose bone age was no more than nineteen.

After Golden Immortal Feng Xu left, his previously arrogant demeanor seemed to recede somewhat.
