The Immortal's Poison

Chapter 124: The Location

Wen Leyang chuckled, “If you can really eat me, then there is no need to act as if you have fainted.” As he was saying that, he diverted the topic of discussion, “Do you know me?”

The giant pangolin stared towards Wen Leyang firmly as if it was hesitating whether it should take a bite. Wen Buzuo had a relaxed expression, “Pangolin don’t you come up with the wrong plan, be careful you might end up eating yourself in a circle!”

The group was stunned at first, then all of them laughed. There was only the well-behaved child that was still puzzled, “What circle?”

Wen Buzuo proudly stretched out his hand and pointed towards Wen Leyang, “He is still holding on to the pangolin’s tail you see...”

The giant pangolin could burrow underground and cut open mountains, yet its body was unusually soft and agile. Its tail was still within Wen Leyang’s grasp, but its upper body had already turned over. It was facing him head-on. It remained silent for a moment before it started speaking slowly, “I recognized you, you were together with the big and small demon rabbits on Mount Emei and the demon cat Chang Li.”

The pangolin’s head was bigger than a small house. Its huge mouth opened to speak, his saliva sprayed onto everyone such that their clothes were all in a mess. Wen Xiaoyi, Little Chi Maojiu, Bushuo, Buzuo and Luo Wanggen squealed as they hastily covered their noses and ran away. The zombie corpse hesitated for a moment, then it ran away as well.

Wen Leyang’s entire body was drenched yet he remained standing in the same spot. His expression was helpless. He wiped his face once in preparation to speak. When the giant pangolin spoke once again, “Young fellow, the grandfather Po Tu acquired mastery in cultivation for millenniums. There is no need for me to elaborate to you, if I still possess my demon power, I would have clawed all of you into human flesh mud. Anything to say or ask, you can do so, there is no need to grab on to grandfather’s tail and refusing to let go.”

The giant pangolin was the Mountain-guarding Divine Beast of the Qilian Immortal Sect since two thousand years ago, even the old demon rabbit Bu Le was not born yet then.

Wen Buzuo ran to the side of the pangolin. He made sure that he would not be sprayed anymore, only then he smiled and asked, “Of course we are aware that you no longer possess your demon power but there is something that I still don’t understand, where is that strength of yours that can dig through mountains?”

It was as if the giant pangolin was agitated by something. It suddenly turned around, with its huge mouth aimed straight at Wen Buzuo, “My ability lies within the scales. Now that I am harmed by the witch within the stone forest, I will not be having any strength for the next few months!”

Wen Buzuo broke out in a torrent of curses, he wiped his face as he leaped off to somewhere else.

Little Chi Maojiu was much smarter, he directly hid behind the zombie corpse, stuck out his little head and continued to ask smilingly, “I don’t believe that you are so honest and that you will directly tell us that you lost your demon power.”

The pangolin burst out in a loud laughter as if it did not care about its situation right now, “I have no demon power now, it is only a matter of time before all of you discovered it. If I were to say that I have infinite strength and shocking supernatural power now, will all of you release me then flee?”

Wen Leyang too laughed, he released its tail, “Senior...” Before his voice died away, he suddenly screamed out in surprise!

The giant pangolin with fine skin and tender flesh separated its tail from the shackles that bonded it and immediately leaped up high into the air. Half of its body bore into the soil in the blink of an eye. It was trying to escape.

Wen Leyang was both annoyed and amused, his body swayed once like a ghost as he prepared to enter. Just as the pangolin was soon to escape, he grabbed onto the chunk of tail tip that was still left on the ground by a handful, the Poison of Life and Death circulated rapidly, his body exerted strength vigorously.

Pop, a gentle sound echoed. The giant pangolin was pulled out dozens of meters from the ground by Wen Leyang. Its movement drew out a startling arc line in midair as it slammed onto the ground in a magnificent manner.

The Qilian Immortal Sect disciples, who were lying on the ground suffering from severe injuries, were shaken by the sudden momentum such that their bodies leaped once. A few of the disciples with better physique saw that their family’s old ancestor divine beast fell on its face. They stared so hard their eye sockets cracked as they struggled to stand up and fight desperately.

The giant pangolin was slammed into a mess this time. At the sound of a loud bang it turned into the human form of a burly fellow with a square head, but without those frightening yet disgusting but majestic-looking scales on its body. Its complexion was fair and delicate, not so different from Wen Xiaoyi’s. Po Tu that had turned into the burly fellow shook its head, trying to keep a clear head. He opened his eyes wide and scolded those Qilian disciples who were preparing to charge forward and fight desperately, “Do you want to come here and seek doom? If you still have the strength then go ahead and look after your supreme leader. If you don’t have the strength then lie on the ground obediently and don’t move!”

Little Chi Maojiu witnessed the burly fellow Po Tu’s shabbiness, he was beaming with joy as he shook his head, “You are not honest. I thought you said that you don’t have any more strength? We almost let you got away!”

Po Tu was slammed such that his face was covered in soil and head covered in ash, yet its mouth still could not stand to lose, “What the f*ck do you little meatball know? The rabbit likes to jump the cat likes to meow. I am a pangolin. Digging holes is my inherent ability, without my demon power and supernatural power. I can still burrow underground and bore through mountains all the same. If it wasn’t because I lost the self-defense demon power, do you think you can catch me?”

Po Tu was speaking and he peered towards Wen Leyang once arrogantly, “Young fellow, am I right?”

Wen Leyang disregarded the matter. Those that cultivated from demons into humans, seemed to be rather insane. He smiled and nodded, and guided the topic of conversation back on track, “We are only hoping to ask about something, will the senior please make an honest disclosure.”

Wen Buzuo too stood next to Wen Leyang. He gave a maniacal smile tinted with a little viciousness, “Pangolin, consider thoroughly before you answer. We are only hoping to know the truth which is not a difficult matter after all!”

The corners of the Three-inch Nail Wen Bushuo’s mouth moved slightly as if he had just smiled for a moment. He spoke in a low voice, “The most savage person I have ever met. He managed to last for three days. In the end, he saw with his left eye that his right eye that was still in the eyeball socket. Half a worm crawled out of the eye, he immediately told the truth.”

Wen Buzuo sneered as he complimented, “We are the disciples of the Death Trademark, we will never allow our captives to use the mirror!”

The well-behaved child Luo Wanggen swallowed a gulp of saliva. He was imagining how could a person, who did not use the mirror, use his left eye to see his right eye that was still within the eyeball socket.

Little Chi Maojiu remained smilingly, “Should the two Wen senior brothers failed to interrogate then our Miao clan has our all kinds of peculiar methods too!”

Luo Wanggen was ghastly pale and stuttered, “Well, in the end, if all else fails, I will try...corpse controlling and spirit calming, such that he will kill off all those Taoist priests. The pangolin should be able to tell what is he doing, but his body will not be following his commands...and also watch himself chew off his own arm with his eyes wide open.”

The rest of the people suddenly stopped talking. When Bushuo, Buzuo and Little Chi Maojiu were talking the burly fellow Po Tu showed an indifferent expression. Until Luo Wanggen stuttered and finished talking, only then it stared towards him once ferociously, “Young fellow, I really didn’t see that coming!” As it was saying that, it peered towards Wen Leyang with slanted eyes, “Is there a necessity for me to be lying to all of you junior generation young fellows?”

Wen Leyang immediately spoke and asked, “Last time on Mount Emei, the senior and the grand master Chang Li followed each other closely and left, I would like to ask you, afterwards did the grand master Chang Li manage to catch...find you?”

Po Tu spat a mouthful of spit onto the ground in rage, “The demon cat is inherently good at hunting. All of you ought to take a look in this world, there might be tigers dogs bears that are starved to death, but is there any wild cats that are starved to death? My cultivation base is not as good as hers. I ran for over sixty days, there were a few occasions that I obviously got away from her. Afterwards I did not know how but she found me again, damn unlucky, I could never understand, how did I even provoked her in the beginning!”

Wen Xiaoyi laughed in a beautiful and graceful manner, her little face was glowing with heartfelt pride for her grand master Chang Li, “It was because you did not provoke her, that was why it was only your scales that were plucked off, if you were to provoke her, there were probably more ways for you to die tragically.”

Po Tu heard of Wen Xiaoyi’s words, it obviously shuddered once, for it was still haunted by the nightmares left behind by Chang Li. However, he met a piteous girl named Cone Nail yesterday that was capable of challenging the position of Chang Li within Po Tu’s heart as the first witch. After all, the first time its scales were plucked off it was considered an old sorrow tale, it did not hurt anymore; the second time its scales were plucked off was still a relatively new event, its body was still feeling cold and windy now, it was not adapted to being bald yet.

Wen Leyang continued to inquire closely filled with concern, “What happened afterwards?”

Po Tu’s expression was filled with unwillingness, “She caught me and asked me about some past events. If I had known that it was just a few conversations, I would never find the necessity to break my own arm!”

Wen Leyang’s smile had since vanished, his tone of speaking was earnest and sturdy, “This is an important matter, will the senior please elaborate.” As for whether Po Tu was telling the truth, the only way to tell was to wait for him to finish telling the story. Po Tu peered at him once, as if it was contemplating on which part to start telling him, Wen Leyang reminded it in a low voice, “Tell us from the beginning.”

Po Tu considered for a moment. After it tidied his train of thoughts, it did not directly mention of Chang Li, but it looked towards Wen Leyang and asked, “Do you know that there is a group of people, that is passing down their legacy in an orderly manner for the past two thousand years, that is still continuously killing demons and extracting its vitality?”

Wen Leyang nodded. All the great demons in the world were annihilated. Guo Huan was kept barely alive in the jade knife and those were all their doings.

The fat and plump Rainbow brothers and the surviving descendant of the Blood Sect favus-headed old person that perished his life together with Third Brother Wei of One Word Palace all belonged to this group of people.

Po Tu gave a humph, “This group of bastards killed demons and extracted its vitality. Not long before I bumped into Chang Li, I accidentally fell into their hands. Fortunately, they took fancy in my ability to burrow underground and cut through mountains, they did not directly kill me but cast a few prohibition spell on me and sealed off more than half of my demon power. When the favus-headed old person brought me to Mount Emei, his initial purpose was to look for some bullshit obscure cultivator that was hiding within the mountainside. In the end, those seven foolish men of his bumped into the demon rabbits, so they went catching the demons in great delights.”

That was why the big and small demon monks were severely injured by the Rainbow brothers. Only then, Chang Li brought along Wen Leyang and the two rogue cultivators, the fat monk, and the old monk, to Mount Emei.

At that moment, Po Tu just escaped from the favus-headed old person’s side. It realized that there were two demon rabbits that were releasing its demonic energy. He did not know that the demon rabbits were actually set down a lure. With a kind heart, he rushed over, wanting to warn them. Nonetheless, he bumped into Chang Li and both of them left with one party chasing and another party running.

Po Tu was a pangolin that cultivated into a human. It was best at escaping by burrowing underground. As Chang Li launched her domineering method of demon spell on Mount Emei to save the two demon rabbit’s lives, her demon power was slightly diminished. She had to chase the pangolin for over two months before she managed to capture it. The question that Chang Li wished to ask was naturally about two thousand years ago, after Tuo Xie left the ancient cave on Zhanyan Peak of Mount Emei, the information he left behind in the mortal world.

The pangolin Po Tu denied all knowledge of the event.

Po Tu was ferocious and strong with shocking cultivation base within the eyes of an ordinary cultivator. However, as compared to someone like Chang Li, Tuo Xie, Guo Huan, it was just a little unorthodox little brat. When Chang Li and Tuo Xie joined hands, fought hard against Guo Huan, the Black and White Island, rogue cultivators and others in a great battle, from the supreme leader to the divine beast of Qilian Immortal Sect’s, they were merely minor characters with the roles of waving flags and shouting. They utterly did not get in the way of anyone, and they dispersed off soon after the event, as for the whereabouts of Tuo Xie, or what happened afterwards, it had no idea at all, or it was better off to say that he was not qualified enough to know.

As Po Tu was telling about this part of the story, his expression was slightly helpless, “When Chang Li was asking me about this, that group of bastards that kills demons and extracts its vitality arrived after following our tracks. Each of them was bringing along their noble spirit treasured weapons specially made to exercise restraint over demon power, those bastards!”

Wen Leyang heard a buzz in his head, his eyes were staring straight in shock, “The group of people caught grand master Chang Li?” he was most concerned that Chang Li fell into this group of people’s scheme. Even though Chang Li had shocking supernatural powers, this group of people possessed the treasured weapons capable of restraining demon power. Moreover, there was some personage behind these people that were even more incisive. Guo Huan’s ability was roughly the same as Chang Li’s. However, this group of people was capable of tragically harming him two thousand years ago. While Chang Li was exceedingly conceited, it was possible that she could be caught by them.

Po Tu peered towards him with all kinds of peculiar expression, “If Chang Li was taken by them, wouldn’t I have taken as well? Young fellow of the junior generation, why are you so careless?”

Wen Leyang stomped his foot in rage, he spoke in an unpleasant tone, “Will you please stop talking nonsense and continue the story please.”

Po Tu continued, “That group of people actually had no idea about Chang Li’s history as a demon cat, they were there for me. They could find my location anytime...”

Wen Buzuo laughed once, and interrupted Po Tu’s conversation, “That is a joke. You are capable of boring through mountains and burrowing underground. How can those people so easily find you then? Just because of such a coincidence, just when the grand master Chang Li caught you, they were already there?”

Wen Xiaoyi was pondering on the side, while she said, “Was it because of that group of people once cast prohibition spells on it, so they could find it anytime?”

On the other hand, the giant pangolin shook its head, it utterly did not try to defend itself. On the contrary, it was refuting Wen Xiaoyi on behalf of Wen Buzuo, “If the distance is close, it really is possible for such a spell capable of connecting the master’s thoughts and used for location tracking to work. However, in the distance of thousands of miles away, any form of supernatural power is futile!”

Wen Xiaoyi wrinkled her beautiful brows, “Then how did they find you?”

A strand of deep remorse appeared within Po Tu’s eyes, he asked Wen Leyang dully, “Have you ever heard of the GPS before?”

Wen Leyang was stunned for a moment, he asked in reply, “How did you even know about the GPS?”
