Chapter 1589: Chapter 1590: Hostage

Swoosh!

At this moment, two figures, one on the left and one on the right, came charging at Ye Mo.

Both of these individuals were Middle-Ranked Immortals in strength. Ye Mo, taken aback, did not dare to be careless. He immediately summoned the Emperor Phoenix Blood Meteor Spear, and as the Blood Meteor Mocking Phoenix was unleashed, countless Blood Meteor Phoenixes instantly sent the two figures flying.

"Yellow Grade Middle Quality Immortal Treasure?"

Bai Qi watched the scene in the mirror, licking his lips when he saw the Blood Meteor Spear in Ye Mo’s hand, his eyes filled with greed.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing a few more figures appear, Ye Mo swung his spear again, sending them flying. Although he was eager to claim the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, with his current strength, he couldn’t hope to obtain it, and he might even lose his life.

Meanwhile, on Li Tian’s side, most of the mob attacked him. Even though he had reached Upper Immortal status and comprehended four laws, he still struggled against the mob’s assault, lasting for half a burning incense’s worth of time before he was overpowered, sent flying backward, and coughing up blood repeatedly.

"Stop! Release them all, and I will go with you!"

Ling Shan remained very calm, knowing that the enemy would not give up since they had not captured her yet; she was quite rational. The enemy had captured her to use as leverage against her father, so her life was not in immediate danger.

"Ling Shan, you must not!"

Li Tian immediately spoke up.

"Must not?"

A giant face suddenly appeared in the space, none other than Bai Qi’s. He looked at Li Tian and said, "Do you want us to kill you first and then take Ling Shan, or just take Ling Shan directly?"

"You!"

Li Tian wanted to speak but stopped.

"What? Do you think you can escape from the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror with your strength? Not just you, even a strong Immortal Class Realm expert, once absorbed into the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, don’t even think about coming out."

Bai Qi said disdainfully.

"I can’t believe you would take out the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror just to capture me, your stronghold’s precious treasure. Aren’t you afraid my father will take it back?"

Ling Shan laughed coldly.

"I’ve long heard that the City Lord’s daughter is the rare Dark Immortal Body, a rare talent in the Fengling Dynasty, and extremely powerful. Without the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, it would not be easy to take you successfully."

Bai Qi smiled, looking at Ling Shan with a mocking tone.

"So why don’t you release them quickly? Otherwise, I’ll just end my life here, and all your efforts will be in vain."

Ling Shan sneered.

"Alright!"

Bai Qi held the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, suspended in midair. He had already distanced himself from Immortal Spirit City, and the Immortal Spirit Army couldn’t catch up temporarily. As he was about to release them, he paused and said, "No, I’ve heard your will is anchored in the Third Layer Heaven. Nobody in our stronghold can kill you."

Ling Shan’s face darkened upon hearing this, realizing how meticulous Bai Qi’s thoughts were.

"I must leave one person behind to restrain you!"

Bai Qi said indifferently.

"You bandits, not only did you dispatch over a hundred people to capture a young woman like me, but you also brought out the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror. Now that I’m in your hands, you still want to use a hostage to restrain me, how ridiculous."

Ling Shan taunted.

"Who told you to be the top genius of Immortal Spirit City? At a hundred years old, you’ve already reached the Immortal Position Realm, comprehended the rare Dark Law of the immortal world, possess the Dark Immortal Body, and successfully anchored your will in the Three Heavens Layer of the Immortal Realm, becoming a special recruit at the Immortal Martial Academy. We naturally need to be cautious against a genius like you, otherwise, wouldn’t our plan this time be in vain?"

Bai Qi spoke, looking through the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror at the other Immortal Spirit Army, "Who of you would like to stay with Ling Shan? Let me remind you, the one who stays might die; you should know our leader’s methods."

Instantly, those Immortal Spirit Army soldiers looked at each other. These bandits were notorious for their ferocity, especially the Stronghold Master, who harbored extreme hatred for the city soldiers. If they stayed with Ling Shan, they might die. Ling Shan’s will was anchored in the Third Layer, and she could resurrect after dying, but they could not.

"What? No one stays? What about Governor Li?"

Bai Qi’s face turned to Li Tian, seeing that he also remained silent, he laughed heartily: "Ling Shan, it seems your Immortal Spirit Army are all cowards. Not a single one dares to stay, so I guess I’ll keep them all behind."

"Looks like there’s still me, isn’t there?"

Ye Mo looked at the giant face and spoke unexpectedly.

Ling Shan and Li Tian, along with others, were shocked—wasn’t this the man they encountered earlier on the street? Did he not care for his own life?

"You?"

Bai Qi looked at Ye Mo, recalling that he also held a Yellow Grade Middle Quality Immortal Treasure in his hand, he smiled: "Since you aren’t afraid of death, then it will be you."

Saying this, Bai Qi released everyone else and even unleashed those bandits from the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, leaving Ling Shan and Ye Mo alone in it.

"Let’s go!"

Bai Qi commanded, leading a large group of bandits directly toward the Desperate Mountain Stronghold.

"Aren’t you afraid those bandits might kill you?"

Inside the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, Ling Shan curiously questioned Ye Mo, knowing that these bandits harbored deep resentment against city soldiers, who annually killed over a million eliminated martial artists, and those who escaped often turned into bandits, especially their stronghold’s master who bore immense hatred toward the city soldiers.

"If even Miss Ling Shan isn’t afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ye Mo smiled. His purpose for staying was, of course, the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror. If he could acquire this mirror, he would have one less worry about the Rising Dragon Pillar. As long as he found materials to help Dragon Glarax restore its Will Origin, the Dragon Realm’s level could be fully elevated.

Fortune favors the bold, and the Immortal Demon Dao Proving Realm was worth him taking this risk.

"My will is anchored in Third Layer Heaven. Although these bandits are strong in cultivation, their natural talents are weak, and even their Stronghold Master Luo Caiqin has her will merely anchored in Second Layer Heaven."

Ling Shan spoke with a faint hint of pride. She dared to venture into the lion’s den because she had this advantage. Though dying once would slightly affect her cultivation, it would only mean a few more months of training for her.

Hearing this, Ye Mo couldn’t help but admire her. This woman, as the City Lord’s daughter, truly was exceptional in both talent and bravery.

Seeing Ye Mo’s amazed expression, Ling Shan thought he was afraid and laughed: "You need not worry; since you chose to stay, you have considerable courage. I won’t let anything happen to you. Once we reach their stronghold, follow my instructions, understood?"

She appreciated Ye Mo’s bravery more than the cowardice of those like Li Tian. Even the sons of major families wouldn’t dare to step forward at this time, would they?

However, Ling Shan was unaware that if it weren’t for the Immortal Demon Proofing Mirror, Ye Mo would never have taken this risk. Yet, this move won the favor of this goddess-level Earth Tier genius student, who hadn’t even entered the academy yet.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded, saying nothing more.
