Death energy, death energy that even immortal power couldn't suppress. This death energy wasn't generated from within, but rather an external force; she had seen it on those harmed by death energy before.
She hadn't noticed this aura when she saw Miao Shou Kong Kong last time, but this time, perhaps because they were in an inn, or perhaps because she couldn't suppress her immortal power, she sensed it the moment they met.
Regardless of the reason, the fact that he was able to fight against the evil realm at least proves that the cunning thief is not inherently evil.
Miao Shoukong pursed his lips, clasped his hands respectfully, and said, "From now on, I, Yang Wei, will definitely work hard for the inn."
"Let's talk about it after you get the job. But before you do, shouldn't you explain the reason for the death aura on your body?"
Yang Wei was surprised that An Ge noticed something was wrong so quickly, and felt a momentary panic, but he quickly calmed down. For some Divine Lords sensitive to auras, detecting something wouldn't be difficult. It seemed his condition was getting increasingly serious.
“A thousand years ago, I fought against an evil god and was accidentally injured by him, leaving me with an incurable wound. For the past thousand years, I have had to buy life-giving pills every now and then to fight against death energy. This time, because the physician who was supposed to treat me was away on a long trip, and I was also a little short of money, I have been putting off treatment.”
An Ge understood. "So you stole something?"
Yang Wei felt somewhat guilty. "I had no choice. Although I try my best to steal from those rich and heartless gods, sometimes I can't help but target newcomers."
"Don't make stealing sound so noble. I was originally going to offer you a higher salary, but now, tsk tsk, it'll have to be the lowest tier." With that, he pulled Hu Jiu and turned to leave.
Although the Holy Spring is not as effective as the one in the lower realm, soaking in it for a long time can slowly dispel the death aura. Hmm, I'll treat it as an employee benefit from now on.
Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant, grinning so wide his eyes narrowed into slits. Lord Ange said he wanted to hire him as an employee—how wonderful! Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly ran over, “Manager, I almost forgot to mention, I heard that Lord Garcia led several immortals out of the city, saying they're going to cause trouble for an immortal named Jiang Shang. They even said they want you to kneel down and beg him. Do you know this Jiang Shang immortal?”
An Ge suddenly stopped in her tracks. "What did you say? Tell me everything you know."
This was the first time Yang Wei had seen An Ge so out of sorts. He stammered out what he had heard. "I don't know the specifics. Lister City is quite wary of the gods from the Eastern Divine Realm, so I didn't dare to linger. But if the shopkeeper goes now, he might still make it in time."
"Hu Jiu!" An Ge's voice trembled.
Hu Jiu quickly reassured him, "I know, we'll go now."
"Yes, this time we must tear Garcia to pieces." She originally wanted to wait until the inn was more stable before causing trouble for Garcia, but she didn't expect him to make a move before her.
This was the first time in all these years that An Ge had felt such a strong urge to kill a god-king. This time, regardless of whether her master was alright or not, she would not let Garcia off so easily.
On the outskirts of Tianhe City, Tao Le and the others looked at the ever-growing number of enemies, their faces filled with despair.
"Wenbai, we might be doomed here this time. Are you scared?"
Yi Wenbai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and held Tao Le's hand. "What do I have to be afraid of when I'm with you?"
"you?"
I thought you understood my feelings.
Tao Le's face turned bright red, and in the end she could no longer deceive herself, "Who knows if you were influenced by Chu Ran's divine power? But now I know, you weren't."
Since they were going to die anyway, expressing their feelings to each other before they died would be a way to die without regrets.
Jiang Shang had just swung his sword when he was panting heavily and almost couldn't stand up. Seeing his master and his new master's wife being so affectionate, he angrily cursed, "Don't you two know the place when you're dating? It's too late now, that's enough!"
Yi Wenbai rolled his eyes at Jiang Shang, "As expected of a rebellious disciple, no wonder he's been single for almost ten thousand years."
Jiang Shang...you old bachelor have been single longer than me, and you've only just found love now, and you still have the nerve to criticize me? Oh well, we're all going to die anyway, so let's just forgive these two unfortunate lovers.
He glanced in the direction of Tianhe City, a pang of regret in his heart. He hadn't seen his little apprentice for so many years, and it was all so close. If only he hadn't slacked off and had instead focused on cultivation, perhaps he wouldn't have become his apprentice's Achilles' heel.
"Hmph, you're obviously a god who gets bullied by my disciple, so you resort to beating the old instead of the young one. Could you be that unlucky Garcia who almost got crushed to death by the bed? Haha, that's hilarious."
Garcia sneered, watching them as if they were cats and mice. "You two are truly master and apprentice, both fond of verbal sparring. But no matter how much you struggle, it's useless. Don't worry, I won't kill you anytime soon. I haven't had enough fun yet, how could I bear to?"
Upon hearing that these people were connected to An Ge, he immediately brought the Immortal Lord to intercept and kill them. Seeing the men struggling like trapped beasts, his resentment towards An Ge lessened considerably. It would be a waste to kill them all at once, so he decided to beat them half to death and then kill them in front of An Ge. That scene would certainly be quite a spectacle.
Thinking of the scene of An Ge kneeling down and crying as she begged him, Garcia swept away his depression and laughed triumphantly.
Jiang Shang spat out a mouthful of blood. "Pah! When my disciple finds out, he will definitely avenge us. It won't be a loss if you accompany us to the Yellow Springs."
“An Ge is just a new god-king. If I hadn’t been careless, how could she have gotten the chance to run wild? It’s all your fault for having such a troublesome disciple. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been killed at the young age of twenty.”
"The thing I'm most proud of in my life is having this disciple. Even if I die, I'll die with pride."
Yi Wenbai and Tao Le nodded in agreement. "We've lived such a mundane life for so many years, and having such a little grand-disciple makes even death worthwhile."
"Hmph, so stubborn! I'll extract your immortal bones and give them to that brat An Ge as a grand opening gift!"
Jiang Shang and the others tensed up, knowing full well that if An Ge's life were truly in their hands, she would be at Garcia's mercy. Rather than becoming An Ge's weakness, they decided to fight Garcia to the death.
Sensing that Jiang Shang and the others were about to self-destruct, Garcia looked puzzled and somewhat shocked. "If you want to self-destruct, you have to see if I, the god, agree." After saying that, he unleashed his divine power, and instantly, Jiang Shang and the others stopped moving automatically.
Jiang Shang was anxious, but his hands and feet seemed to have a mind of their own. He could clearly feel control over his body, but he just couldn't move.
Yi Wenbai sighed, "Disciple, stop struggling. Garcia's power is to slow down time. The fact that we can talk normally now must be because he did it on purpose." After saying that, he turned his neck and, sure enough, the time at his head was not affected.
