Earth Immortal Freak (7)

'This... it seems I underestimated Xavier's murder... or is it that Wang Xuan met a Golden Immortal...?' Benjamin's expression returned to utter calmness.

In his embrace was his sister who had tears streaming down her tender cheeks. It seemed that even though he realized the killer was possibly even stronger than first thought, this still had a good ending.

Seeing this teary sister of his, he felt like cackling evilly. Wasn't this what he wanted? Even if he couldn't kill Wang Xuan personally, at least, he still got rid of the man.

"B-Big brother." Suddenly, she wiped her tears and with a solemn expression, she said while gritting her teeth soo tightly that cracks would form, "We have to go get revenge for Wang!"

"Oh, and how exactly are we going to find the person who killed Wang?" The City Lord seemed amused by her ignorance, "Even if we find him, who's to say that this person isn't a Golden Immortal...?"

Silence descended. It was dark, so it was even easier for Benjamin to hide his gloating expression and his pair of mocking red eyes.

"So what! He gave me a treasure. If he's killed..." She paused, "If he's killed, no matter who it is, with this treasure, I'll be able to track them down."

"And you're determined to go kill whoever it is, even if it's a Golden Immortal...?" The city lord asked. "Even if it's a Golden Immortal, it doesn't mean I'm completely at their mercy. I too have many treasures..."

Hearing his sister's confident words, Benjamin adorned a smile and said.

"Once I get this treasure, even a Golden Immortal wouldn't be my match so, I'll tell you this now... If you wait until I get this treasure, I promise to get Wang Xuan's revenge."

Even though his words seemed righteous, he understood something about his sister. "No! I'm going now. It doesn't matter if it's a Golden Immortal or not, I'll kill them."

'Although she is normally cautious, if the people she cares for are harmed, she'll become a hot-blooded idiot.'

"You two... You'll also follow my sister to go kill that man!" The City Lord seemed determined. As if completely understanding his sister's sadness, he ordered the two Pseudo Golden Immortals to follow.

"We understand." Benjamin's status was much higher than the two others. Even if they weren't willing, they still needed to listen to his orders.

Saying their final parting words, Benjamin's expression gradually changed.

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk... it's a pity I wasn't able to taste your body before you die, but whatever. With this, even if mother and father search my memories, they can't say I had even the slightest hand in your death..."

'With that settled, it's time to get this treasure. When I said that with it, even Golden Immortals wouldn't be my opponent, I meant it..!'

...

...

Inside an ice palace, Cecelia's figure sat with her legs folded and a frown on her face. After seeing Oblivion's actions, she was surprised and confused.

"How... it shouldn't be possible for a Pseudo Golden Immortal without a treasure to see the boundary of my world, much less an Earth Immortal."

Saying this, her blue orbs release a glimmer. Chuckling to herself, "Oh my, he continues to become more and more interesting."

Rumble!

The palace created from ice trembled. Cracks formed before it exploded into shards and particles that disappeared into thin air. Cecelia's aura was cold and aloof as it rose to insane degrees.

"It's fine if it's in my world, but once he steps into their worlds, it'll be troublesome if he gains their attention. I guess, to protect my property, I've no choice..." Standing to her feet, her figure began fading.

...

...

Following the blue string, Oblivion appeared on the border once more. Unlike the others, he didn't feel uncomfortable in this place at all. In his vision were tens of blue strings.

In one direction, there were a couple of ten blue strings while in another direction, there were tens of blue strings. He had guessed it already.

The one with twenty blue strings is obviously for another team while the one with multiple tens of blue strings would lead him to the City Lord. Who would he go to first...?

'Obviously, toward the City Lord. I want to reach the Profound Immortal realm quickly, choosing a group with merely twenty might not be enough, but, surely, the City Lord's group, with three Pseudo Golden Immortals, will be enough...'

Fwoosh!

Oblivion's figure blurred, heading to another veil leading to this island's center.

...

...

One Week Later...

Xiu Xiu Xiu!

Multiple figures could be seen flashing through a rocky grass terrain.

If one were in the skies, one would be able to see that these figures which numbered in the tens were actually on the same path and destined to cross with another figure who was rushing toward them from the direction these figures were approaching.

The distance between the group and the lone figure seemed long. In fact, for normal human minds, the distance did in fact seem long, spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers...

But, for these existences, such a distance wasn't anything to mention. Due to their casualness, it took them a while longer to meet but, this while longer was merely a few extra seconds.

Fwoosh!

Oblivion's white hair was caught in the wind. His expression was calm even when he understood the fact that multiple figures were approaching him with ill intentions. The reason he knew was due to the strings only he could see.

Exactly thirty-five strings had separated from the group and began rushing toward his direction. It began a few days ago. Oblivion immediately understood what had taken place.

Unknowingly, Wang Xuan had made things much more simple for him. He didn't need to search too long to get to his cultivation resources.

Xiu Xiu Xiu!

Suddenly, in Oblivion's vision, tens of blurry humanoid silhouettes flashed through his field of sight and began surrounding him. A cold smirk etched itself on his face as a sword suddenly appeared, the hilt already gripped tightly.

He didn't plan to play with his prey. After all, the most important thing for him was to gain enough strength to fulfill the goal that seemed to possess his body and claw away at his mind. The figures in front of him weren't even considered living objects, to him, they were simple resources used to cultivate.

"Who would have thought that the killer of Wang Xuan was such a beauty..."

On the other hand, as the blurry figures fully surrounded Oblivion, three figures stood forward, two of which stood behind a young female with long black hair and scarlet-red eyes.

One of the two figures was a young-looking man, "Miss, why don't you leave this little beauty to me? Let me enjoy him for a while first..." He said to the City Lord's sister.

She seemed to be fuming with utmost anger when staring at the six-foot-tall figure with long white hair and features that made it hard to tell whether it was a male or female.

As someone who was accustomed to being around Immortal cultivators, she was also not new to seeing incredibly attractive people.

As Immortal cultivators, the peak of life, their allure was nothing to scoff at yet, she was accustomed to being around them, so even though Oblivion was attractive enough to leave one's mind buzzing, "No! Kill him!..." She had enough resistance to still feel the urge to kill the killer of her man.
