Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Immortal Master (Fourth Update)
Bian Hua was covered in wounds at this moment, but still struggled desperately to hold on.
Behind him stood a young girl with an immature face.
“Bian Hua, hand over the Spiritual Medicine, and we will let you go! Otherwise… today both you and your sister must die!” a man in green clothes said coldly.
Grinding his teeth, Bian Hua snorted angrily, “Can the people of Xuanyuan Sect act so oppressively? I spent a year painstakingly gathering this Spiritual Medicine. You say you want it, and it’s just yours?”
“Hehe, whether our acts are oppressive or not is not for you to decide. Everything depends on strength! It’s only because Qingmu Town is too weak!”
With that, the men in green surrounding them accelerated their pace.
At this moment, Bian Hua, who was hardly holding on, found himself in even greater danger.
Seeing her brother about to die under the sword, the young girl started crying.
Xue An had already arrived nearby, having witnessed the scene, he slightly frowned and then stepped out.
His appearance startled the people from Xuanyuan Sect! But once they saw it was only Xue An alone, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
“Kid, if you know what’s good for you, get lost quickly!” the man in green shouted sternly.
Bian Hua, seeing someone had come to help, felt a surge of joy in his heart.
But when he noticed that Xue An’s presence was quite ordinary, his heart sank again.
Yet, just as he was sinking back into despair,
Xue An slightly raised his eyebrows, too lazy to talk nonsense with this man, he simply flicked his finger.
A strand of Sword Qi shot across the neck of the man in green.
Pfft!
The head of the man in green soared into the air as his body collapsed to the ground.
This move shocked everyone present.
Especially the people from Xuanyuan Sect, who were as stunned as if they had seen a ghost.
“Who are you? To kill a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect, are you not afraid we…”
Xue An said indifferently, “Noisy!”
With that, he took a step forward.
Sword Qi erupted, instantly turning the remaining assailants into mincemeat.
Then Xue An turned to look at Bian Hua, who was still in a daze, and turned to leave.
He had intervened only because Bian Hua’s determination to protect his sister in the face of death had made Xue An somewhat moved.
Now, with the people saved, he turned to leave, preparing to first go and settle accounts with Thousand Snow Sect.
As he walked away, Bian Hua finally came to his senses and hastily called out, “Immortal Master, please wait!”
Xue An stopped in his tracks, “What did you call me?”
“Immortal Master! With your skills just now, not even several Great Elders of Xuanyuan Sect could compare. You surely deserve the title of Immortal Master!” Bian Hua said with utmost respect.
Xue An gave a faint smile, not minding the title, but asked, “Why did you call out to me?”
Bian Hua hesitated for a moment before saying, “Immortal Master saved our lives, my sister and I naturally wish to repay you. May I ask if the Immortal Master would be willing to come to our town?”
Having said that, Bian Hua looked at Xue An somewhat nervously.
As he had said, Xue An’s abilities were certainly worthy of being called Immortal Master!
In Qingmu Town, apart from the Town Master’s sister, no one else could match him!
That was why he was sincerely inviting Xue An to visit.
Xue An pondered for a moment.
He was unsure of the vastness of the Immortal Realm of Kunlun, so he thought it might be worthwhile to follow and have a look, and meanwhile gather information about Thousand Snow Sect and Overlord Sect.
Therefore, Xue An nodded.
“Alright!”
Bian Hua could hardly believe his ears, then excitedly said, “In that case, Immortal Master, please follow me!”
As he spoke, Bian Hua led the way.
The little girl kept looking at Xue An with curiosity, and after a while, she couldn’t help asking, “Immortal Master, where do you come from? Jizhou City?”
Xue An looked at the little girl, who was only eleven or twelve years old, and his mood improved a lot.
“No!”
“Oh! Then where are you from? And, what is your name?”
At this moment, Bian Hua sneakily nudged his sister, then said apologetically, “Immortal Master, this is my sister Bian Tian. She always likes to ask questions, we all call her ‘Question Baby’. Please don’t take it personally!”
Xue An had not spoken yet when Bian Tian already showed her displeasure.
“Brother, Sister Qingmu said you can’t call someone by that nickname anymore! Otherwise, when we get back, I’ll tattle on you to her!” Bian Tian was very unhappy.
Bian Hua smiled awkwardly, but the movement pulled at the wound on his face, causing him to wince and gasp in pain.
Seeing this, tears of concern began to well up in Bian Tian’s eyes, “Brother, does it hurt?”
“It’s okay, it’ll be better in a moment!”
Xue An, observing this scene, took out a simplified version of the Primordial Essence Elixir from his bosom.
“Eat this! It will help your wound,” he said.
After receiving the pill, Bian Hua hesitated for a moment, but still tilted his head and swallowed it.
Some time passed.
The wounds on Bian Hua’s body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The miraculous sight left Bian Hua somewhat stupefied!
“Spirit… Spirit Pill?”
Then, looking at Xue An with immense care, Bian Hua said, “Immortal Master, you actually used a Spirit Pill to heal me?”
Xue An smiled faintly, “What? Is it that strange?”
Bian Hua stopped talking, but his gaze towards Xue An was filled with much more reverence.
With profound cultivation, he dispensed a Spirit Pill casually and without concern.
Such a person must definitely be from a large city or a major sect.
Soon after.
Xue An followed Bian Hua and his sister to Qingmu Town.
It was only then that Xue An understood why this place was called Qingmu Town.
In the town center stood an ancient tree reaching the sky, so massive that it enveloped the entire town.
Upon seeing Bian Hua’s return, the townspeople greeted him.
“Bian Hua is back!”
Bian Hua nodded, “Where is the Town Master?”
“The Town Master is in the Council Hall, discussing matters with a few leaders!”
Upon hearing this, Bian Hua led Xue An towards the town’s Council Hall.
As they arrived at the entrance, they could hear voices arguing inside.
“Town Master, I think we should consider it. After all, our Qingmu Town is too weak! If we could merge with Yuanzhou City, that would be quite good,” someone suggested.
“There’s no need to discuss it further; it’s absolutely impossible!” a cold female voice replied.
At that moment, Bian Hua entered with Xue An.
They saw a woman with a resolute expression sitting at the head seat, while three or four men with unfriendly faces were seated below her.
Upon seeing Bian Hua, the woman asked, “How did it go?”
Brimming with excitement, Bian Hua replied, “Sister Qingmu, I’ve brought him back!”
At that moment, Bian Qingmu also noticed Xue An standing aside and inquired, “Who is this…?”
Before Bian Hua could answer, Bian Tian interjected, “Sister Qingmu, this is the Immortal Master who saved me and my brother!”
Immortal Master?
This title stirred up a commotion in the small Council Hall.
A dark-faced burly man scoffed, “What a joke. Even in Yuanzhou City, we wouldn’t dare claim to have many Immortal Masters, and yet you dare to call yourself one?”
