My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 750: Chapter 713: Finding Opportunities in Desperate Situations

“Hurry up, we can’t resist this ghost thing!”

Huang Fusong was shouting in horror and setting up several array techniques outside the Feizhou.

The speed of the flying boat’s escape suddenly multiplied several times.

However, the horrifying undead giant was still hot in pursuit.

And its speed did not seem to slow down much compared to the Feizhou!

“Quick, head back to the nearest Luoyan State. I’m afraid this monster can only be dealt with by the officials of the Immortal Alliance!”

Without his order, Li Fan had already manipulated the flying boat to escape along the fastest evacuation route.

But…

According to the distance on the map and their flight speed, they should have long since burst out of the range covered by the white mist.

But the surroundings still remained foggy, as if it had been the same for thousands of years.

“We’re in trouble. I think the undead giant has unknowingly dragged us into the mystical realm,” Li Fan looked somewhat troubled.

“What?” Huang Fusong was horrified and realized the truth of Li Fan’s words after checking.

“So… we can’t beat it, and we can’t escape from it. Isn’t this a dead end?” Dong Fangyao’s face turned slightly pale.

“Keep running while we figure something out,” Li Fan decisively said.

The Feizhou kept speeding to try to find the exit of the mystical realm. The undead giant, on the other hand, was in close pursuit, appearing to be adamant about capturing Li Fan and his companions.

Several times, the Feizhou narrowly avoided being grabbed by the undead giant’s hand. Every time they just managed to dodge the crisis by relying on Li Fan, who had honed his ability to manipulate the flying boat in the Immortal Forbiddance Formation.

“Damn it, why does it keep following us? What kind of deep hatred can it have?” Unable to withstand this kind of stimulation, Huang Fusong raged impotently.

“Hmm?” This unintentional remark reminded Li Fan.

This creepy undead giant was clearly related to the Celestial Doctor. It acted solely on instinct without any subjective consciousness. But why was it adamantly pursuing the three of them?

While chasing them, it was also emitting sounds of resentment and woe.

“Could it be that it sensed the ‘Celestial Doctor’s’ aura on me?” Li Fan thought this immediately.

He soon refuted this guess.

Not only this life.

Since his exposure to the Celestial Doctor forced him back into reality and he was chased by the Doctor who tore through the Tianxuan space, Li Fan had not seen the Celestial Doctor for a long time.

Let alone being tainted by the Celestial Doctor’s aura.

Li Fan looked at Huang Fusong and Dong Fang beside him.

Both of them couldn’t even hear the “Celestial Doctor’s” sound emitted by the undead giant. So it was even less likely that they had any connection with the Celestial Doctor.

“So, do I carry something that attracts this undead giant?”

In a split second, Li Fan faintly thought of a possibility.

After scouring and accounting all the items on him and discarding some suspicious items generously without changing the undead giant’s actions,

Li Fan finally fixed his gaze on a white rib bone.

This was the only item dropped from Yin Shangren after he was killed in this life.

It belonged to the first victim of the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma.

“Could this be why?”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Fan grabbed it.

Feeling its strange touch, cold yet smooth, Li Fan threw it forcefully in the opposite direction of the boat’s progress.

A moment later.

“Cele… ”

“Doctor…”

The undead giant, indeed, changed its target of pursuit!

Abandoning the Pu Xian True Boat, it roared in pursuit of that white rib bone!

“…”

“What does this mean?” Li Fan was somewhat stunned, his eyebrows furrowed as he pondered carefully.

Then, what happened next was something he found even harder to comprehend.

When the giant corpse got the rib bone, Li Fan initially thought it would seek revenge in a frenzy.

Instead, its movements slowed slightly, then it stood idly in its place.

The on-and-off cries of the “Celestial Doctors” gradually subsided.

The giant corpse clumsily held the rib bone in hand, guarding it close to its chest.

It then submerged and disappeared into the vast white mist.

The changes happened in an instant. Except for Li Fan, the two other people on the boat didn’t understand what was happening.

All they saw was Li Fan seemingly throwing something out casually, which then distracted the terrifying giant.

The survivors stared at Li Fan in a stunned silence.

Li Fan took a long time to regain his self-consciousness. He shrugged and said, “I was just lucky.”

Huang Fu and Dong Fang didn’t argue. After all, Li Fan had saved their lives. Since he was unwilling to say more, they didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask further.

They had been living and dying together for a while now.

Though they couldn’t say their friendship was that deep, it was definitely a lot stronger than the bonds between the majority of cultivators.

At least, that’s what Huang Fu and Dong Fang thought.

Every person had their secrets. They unanimously chose to avoid discussing the matter further.

Without the threat of the giant, the trio managed to escape from the maze after much effort.

However, for some reason, this maze had no award of Qingxuan points.

Keeping their lives intact was deemed as great luck. They couldn’t hope for more.

After discussing and deciding to rest for a while, the three were provoked by the sudden disappearance of two dissociation discs from the Mirror of Celestial Measurement and changed their minds.

Despite their recent near-death experience, they plunged back into the white mist.

—————–

“So, humans die for wealth, and birds perish for food. This is the principle of Heaven and Earth. Even we, as cultivators, can’t avoid this fate. Unless another Immortal Sovereign could reverse this rule, such incidents would continue to happen within our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals in the future.”

Nangong Shirong spoke eloquently to Xu Bai, but what he was talking about wasn’t the matter of Huang Fusong and his group.

It was about the City Lord of Tianliang, Xiang Rongxin.

After a thorough investigation that lasted several tens of days and negotiations with various factions, the biggest scapegoat of the Wang Qiupo incident was finally determined.

This City Lord Xiang was the one.

There was no other choice. After all, the majority of the cultivators Wang Qiupo had recommended had been through his influence. And, he had openly admitted to receiving many treasures from Wang Qiupo.

In the end, he was stripped of his position as the City Lord. Fortunately, he was spared his life and even managed to retain his realm of cultivation.

Now, he has been exiled to the far southwest Deep Abyss of Cangwu to guard against increasingly frequent monster rebellions.

Nangong Shirong, who had made a significant contribution in this case, has naturally and rightfully taken over Xiang Rongxin’s position.

The internal decision has been made. In a few days, the official proclamation will be issued.

The victorious and content Nangong Shirong naturally remembered Xu Bai, the “great hero”.

He even extended an olive branch to Xu Bai, inviting him to work in Tianliang State.

After all, even though he had risen to power very quickly this time, he, indeed, had offended a lot of people.

With weak roots, there was indeed an urgent need to build his own power.
