The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 1037: In Sword Land

Chapter 1037: In Sword Land

Su Jingzhen’s tone was full of mockery.

Jian Xin glanced at him but remained silent, his expression as cold as ever.

“It seems that Fellow Daoist Jian Xin is quite tight-lipped. Or is it some kind of unspeakable secret? 

Anyway, I’ve always been a lover of peace and prefer to reason things out. But if reason fails, I don’t mind killing a few people.”

As he spoke, Su Jingzhen raised the black brick in his hand. A faint killing intent emanated from him.

Without hesitation, he swung the brick toward a nearby Sword Land disciple.

The power behind the strike wasn’t overwhelming, but it was more than enough to kill the disciple who was already severely injured and on the verge of death at the Mystic Immortal Realm. 

The disciple could only watch helplessly as Su Jingzhen’s attack crashed down.

Seeing this, Jian Xin’s expression suddenly changed.

He had assumed that even if they were defeated, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t dare to slaughter the disciples of Sword Land. 

In his view, Sword Land was different from sects like the Great Zhou Immortal Sect or the Nethergod Sect. 

Even in such a dire situation, he still held onto the inherent arrogance of being a Sword Land disciple.

But he had completely miscalculated. He couldn’t predict Su Jingzhen’s moves at all.

However, Su Jingzhen’s blow didn’t actually land on the Sword Land disciple’s head. 

It wasn’t that Su Jingzhen was bluffing, but just as the attack was about to land, a shield of flames materialized in front of the disciple’s head, dissipating the power of the blow.

Su Jingzhen’s brows furrowed as he looked at Huo Huang, who had suddenly appeared beside the disciple.

“Miss Huo Huang, you must give me an explanation for this.”

Huo Huang was a friend of Little Ling’s, and Su Jingzhen had allowed her to stay with them. But that didn’t mean that she could interfere in matters like this.

Sword Land clearly knew something about Zhang Xiu, but they deliberately withheld the information from him. 

Of course, they would have to pay a price for that. 

If peace wouldn’t work, Su Jingzhen was more than willing to use force.

From the moment he left Linjiang City, his hands had already been stained with blood. 

He had always considered himself a demon, so killing a few Sword Land disciples was perfectly reasonable. 

He had long since stopped caring about his reputation or making enemies. 

He knew that since the incident in the Divine Shepherd Realm, countless people had wanted him dead.

As the saying goes, when you have too many lice, you stop feeling the itch.

When she felt the sharp aura emanating from Su Jingzhen, Huo Huang’s expression tightened. For some reason, when facing him, she felt a sense of nervousness.

But she still spoke up: “Sword Land is not like the Great Zhou Immortal Sect or the Nethergod Sect. 

Like my Fire God Mountain, they are one of the four guardian sects of the Emperor Realm. Killing them now might not be difficult for you, but it won’t help you in the long run. 

Besides, I can see that you’ve come to Sword Land to find someone. 

Do you think you’ll have any chance of finding that person if you wipe out this entire group?

“I do not want to interfere with your decisions. As I said before, Little Ling asked me to take care of you, and I can’t just stand by and watch you go down a path of no return.”

After speaking, Huo Huang turned her gaze to Jian Xin without waiting for Su Jingzhen’s response.

“Jian Xin, swallow your pride. In front of him, no one from the younger generation of the Emperor Realm has the right to be proud. 

Times have changed. The Emperor Realm is no longer superior to the rest of the cultivation world. 

If you insist on clinging to that pride, today will be your last day, and even I won’t be able to save you. Besides, all he wants is a piece of information.”

As someone who was also from the Emperor Realm, Huo Huang understood the mentality of prodigies like Jian Xin all too well.

After hearing her words, Jian Xin’s expression grew even more complicated.

Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen hefted the black brick in his hand again, a smirk playing on his lips.

If Jian Xin could change his mindset after Huo Huang’s words, Su Jingzhen wasn’t necessarily intent on causing more bloodshed.

 Huo Huang had already applied enough pressure, and Su Jingzhen added with a laugh, “Fellow Daoist Jian Xin, if you change your mind now, my previous offer still stands. 

Otherwise, even if the entire Fire God Mountain stands in my way, it won’t change the fact that you’ll die here today. 

And as you know, my reputation isn’t great, and my patience is even worse. This is your only chance.”

As his arrogant and slightly roguish words fell, a golden text appeared before his eyes. He instinctively glanced back at Shengana, who was staring at him with a fiery gaze.

Unbeknownst to him, his actions at that moment struck Shengana as irresistibly cool – a kind of roguish charm that was utterly captivating. 

This seamless cooperation with Su Jingzhen filled her with pride.

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, “The Elf Saintess might be easier to win over than I thought.” 

He guessed that in a few days, their emotional bond would deepen even more.

The thought excited him even more. 

In his previous life he had always been fascinated by elves, though his fantasies were limited to two-dimensional depictions. 

Now, he had the real thing right in front of him.

As Su Jingzhen stared at her, Shengana first felt puzzled, then a bit shy. 

Back in the Divine Elf Realm, she had been a cold and aloof saintess. She didn’t know why she had become like this.

As Su Jingzhen and Shengana exchanged those subtle glances, Jian Xin’s expression became more and more complicated. 

After what seemed like an eternity of internal struggle, he finally let out a heavy sigh.

It was clear that he had conceded. After all, once he fully understood the situation, neither he nor the other Sword Land disciples wanted to die at Su Jingzhen’s hands.

Jian Xin spoke directly, “Zhang Xiu is indeed in Sword Land.”

As soon as Jian Xin spoke, he gave the answer outright.

Su Jingzhen and Ning Yao instinctively exchanged glances, their eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s mind flashed back to the graceful figure in Peach Blossom Alley. 

She had been his first benefactor at the start of his journey. 

Without Zhang Xiu in Peach Blossom Alley, there would be no Su Jingzhen today.

It had only been about a year since Zhang Xiu’s disappearance, but from Linjiang City to where they were now, he and Ning Yao had traveled a long, long way.

Su Jingzhen put the black brick away and retracted his aura. 

With anticipation, he asked, “Is she… doing well?”

Jian Xin looked at him, his expression was still complicated, but he shook his head. “No, she’s not.”
