The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 69 – Kill the Hall Master
After that, Brandon Jiang didn't ask any more questions and silently followed the hall members.
Once he was captured by the Blood Fiend Hall, he could solve this demonic cultivator force and complete his mission.
After walking several miles with the hall members, Brandon Jiang was taken into a cave.
Inside, a considerable underground space had been excavated, with hall members dressed in red robes coming and going.
Clearly, this was the lair of the Blood Fiend Hall.
Brandon Jiang was brought to a dungeon area, where many bewildered commoners were imprisoned.
After being locked up, red-robed hall members guarded the outside tightly to prevent any disturbances.
Before long, Brandon Jiang heard the hall members talking among themselves.
"The number of new commoners is almost enough. Is the Hall Master going to start selecting those with immortal roots who can become Celestial Beings again?"
"Probably. If someone is found to have an immortal root, the Hall Master will immediately appoint them as a protector and teach them the path to immortality. How glorious that would be!"
"But the chance of having an immortal root is too low. Out of a thousand people, there might not even be one. Those without immortal roots... well, their fate is... sigh."
Hearing this, Brandon Jiang's heart stirred.
That demonic cultivator wanted to expand his power and cultivate Qi Refining subordinates?
This could be his chance to meet the Hall Master directly.
With this in mind, Brandon Jiang immediately clung to the cell door and shouted:
"Sirs, sirs, I once accidentally ate some unknown animal meat and briefly felt a strange power between heaven and earth. Does that mean I have an immortal root?"
Upon hearing this, the hall members outside were initially stunned, then one who had seen the immortal root selection process hurriedly asked:
"Are you serious?"
Brandon Jiang nodded vigorously.
The hall members exchanged glances, somewhat excited.
Finding a commoner with an immortal root would be a great achievement.
They quickly said:
"We'll take you to see the Hall Master right away."
"If what you say is true, not only will you not die, but you'll also gain Immortal Fate!"
With that, they hurriedly opened the cell door and brought Brandon Jiang out.
The other prisoners in the cell all looked at Brandon Jiang with either envy or jealousy.
Brandon Jiang followed the hall members, calmly arriving at a somewhat crude main hall.
Inside, a man in blood-red robes, exuding an extraordinary aura, was sitting cross-legged on a mat, cultivating.
"Hall Master, we've brought a girl who might have an immortal root. Please test her."
The hall members respectfully saluted and reported.
The man opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them.
He nodded and said:
"Leave this girl here. The rest of you may go."
"Yes!"
The hall members slowly retreated.
The man looked at Brandon Jiang, took out a piece of dried meat, and said kindly:
"If you can connect with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, it will prove you have an immortal root and can follow me on the path to immortality."
Brandon Jiang glanced at the dried meat in the man's hand and suddenly asked:
"May I know the Hall Master's name?"
The man was slightly taken aback and said:
"My name is Zhang Ren."
Brandon Jiang nodded:
"May I ask where the Hall Master's immortal techniques come from? What was your identity before you began cultivating?"
Zhang Ren's gaze suddenly deepened, staring intently at Brandon Jiang, and said:
"I obtained my immortal techniques from an anonymous inheritance. Before I started cultivating, I was a scholar."
"A scholar?"
Brandon Jiang was slightly surprised, then said:
"Since the Hall Master has read books and understands reason, you should know that great evil and small evil are both evil."
"You kill innocent commoners for the sake of cultivation. Even if you have a reason for killing, in essence, you are no different from the cultivator who previously ruled Guangxia City."
Zhang Ren said:
"I naturally know this, but I am not a saint. I can only do what little I can for Guangxia City while meeting my own cultivation needs."
"You may not know, but my entire family was killed by a local tyrant. I cried for justice but no one avenged me. Now, someone helps the victims take revenge. It was a dream I never dared to hope for."
"Moreover, no matter what, this city has indeed improved greatly because of me, hasn't it?"
Brandon Jiang nodded:
"You are right, but since I am here, are you ready to die, Hall Master?"
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly:
"I didn't expect you to sneak in here unnoticed. It seems it's too late for me to escape. I can only fight you to the death."
Brandon Jiang said again:
"Before we fight, send away all your subordinates who haven't committed any crimes and the innocent commoners. The evildoers can stay."
Zhang Ren was silent for a moment, then called a trusted subordinate at the second level of Qi Refining and passed on the order.
Although the subordinate was puzzled, he respectfully nodded and carried out the order.
The hall was once again left with only Zhang Ren and Brandon Jiang.
Zhang Ren revealed his cultivation, which was indeed at the sixth level of Qi Refining, as the mission intelligence indicated.
Brandon Jiang no longer concealed his own cultivation, revealing his fifth level of Qi Refining.
However, even though Zhang Ren's cultivation was higher, he didn't dare to underestimate Brandon Jiang and prepared himself fully.
"I will end this quickly."
Brandon Jiang said, taking out the Golden Sun Sword.
The moment Zhang Ren saw the Golden Sun Sword, his pupils contracted!
"A superior-grade magical weapon!"
He immediately tried to dodge, but it was too late!
In the next instant, the sound of something piercing the air rang out, and the Golden Sun Sword turned into a golden-red streak of light, instantly piercing Zhang Ren's heart.
Zhang Ren's steps halted, clutching his bleeding chest, looking at Brandon Jiang with difficulty, his mouth opening as if to say something.
But in the end, he couldn't say anything, falling heavily to the ground, his eyes completely dimming.
He was dead.
Brandon Jiang sighed.
Zhang Ren had to die. If he didn't kill him, Qiu Jing and the others would soon do it.
If he acted alone, only Zhang Ren would die. But if others acted, everyone in the Blood Fiend Hall, innocent or not, would become sacrificial furnaces.
Brandon Jiang stepped forward and collected Zhang Ren's body.
An old storage bag fell to the ground.
Storage bags cannot contain other storage bags.
Brandon Jiang was slightly surprised that a rogue cultivator like Zhang Ren had a storage bag! Could it be from that anonymous inheritance?
He reached out and grabbed the storage bag, but didn't check it immediately. Instead, he cleaned up the scene, took a tour around the Blood Fiend Hall to make sure he didn't miss any treasures, and then left with the dispersed crowd.
Not long after, Qiu Jing and the other three appeared near the cave and contacted Brandon Jiang.
Brandon Jiang pretended to have just arrived and joined the three.

The four of them entered the Blood Fiend Hall together. After Qiu Jing and the others thoroughly searched the hall, they found nothing but a group of imprisoned commoners and a few remaining hall members!
"What's going on? Did those demonic cultivators escape?!"
Qiu Jing frowned, a deep displeasure flashing in her beautiful eyes!
A sacrificial furnace at the sixth level of Qi Refining was worth thirty thousand mortals, and it had just slipped away!
He Guanyun said angrily:
"Those demonic cultivators must have just escaped. Damn it, how did they find out!"
To minimize losses, Li Qinxin directly dragged all the commoners out of the cell and drained them dry.
After confirming that the Blood Fiend Hall members had indeed fled, Qiu Jing and the others had no choice but to prepare to leave.
At this moment, Li Qinxin suddenly suggested:
"I have a good idea. Since Guangxia City is so prosperous, killing tens of thousands of people won't matter much."
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
"We can wear the Blood Fiend Hall's robes while killing. Even if someone from the sect comes to investigate, we can blame it all on those demonic cultivators!"
This suggestion immediately gained the approval of Qiu Jing and He Guanyun. The three of them quickly changed into the Blood Fiend Hall's robes and prepared for a massacre.
Brandon Jiang watched helplessly. Guangxia City was indeed too plagued by disasters.
