Chapter 239: Limitations on the Main Character’s Monster Fighting and Leveling Up!

Du Xian, that guy, had no idea Lin Nuo had given him a beating and subconsciously thought he was attacked by the mastermind behind this chaos.

When he learned that he was indeed the culprit, he was simply stunned.

In that case, it made perfect sense that he got beaten up.

Lin Nuo had a vague sense of ominous premonition.

Because these immortals regarded him with a peculiar gaze, not one of suspicion towards his plans with the immortal beasts, nor do they seem to suspect him as one of the participants in the chaos.

This peculiar gaze felt quite familiar.

Familiar enough that he wanted to find a hole to burrow into. If that wouldn’t work, he’d at least like to stuff his ears with earplugs.

Should he slip away?

No, doing it outright would be too suspicious; better to listen quietly like an old dog pretending to be calm.

“The disappearance of Ling Huang Xian and Du Xian’s incident are likely related.”

The senior immortal Zun Dao stroked his beard and said,

“It’s just that we have no way to investigate it, and we can’t find his whereabouts in Zifeng Valley either.”

“Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but if Ling Huang Xian doesn’t return, we can make that determination. For now, let’s wait a bit longer or search the Zifeng Valley. Ling Huang Xian might be injured.”

Another immortal chimed in with a sigh,

“However, Ling Huang Xian often ventures into the Valley of Resentment and Evil, so this matter might be closely linked to him. If that’s true, what a shame! He was such a talented young immortal among our sect’s elders; it’s truly regrettable.”

Listening to the immortals’ lamentations, Lin Nuo couldn’t feel an ounce of regret. On the contrary, he even wanted to laugh.

How wonderful! You immortals have your own dog-eat-dog days. With so many immortals in Zifeng Valley, each preaching virtue and loyalty, this wave of internal strife shattered any lofty image of immortals.

There’s simply no absolute truth in this world; Zifeng Valley’s immortals are supposed to be righteous talents, yet they engage in despicable villainy. How ironic.

It’s quite common for the righteous to act like villains, hypocrites are a dime a dozen. But it’s scarcely seen for villains to act as the righteous. Which villain would embarrass themselves by acting like a good guy?

Alright, let’s end this topic.

Now, Lin Nuo believed he could link Ling Huang Xian with the Blood Demon.

These two are the same person.

Mainly because he couldn’t think of any other reason to connect them aside from their facial contours, after all, the immortals’ revulsion towards the Blood Curse technique was no less than that of demonic arts.

But now, he had sufficient reasons to connect the two.

These immortals were still deceiving themselves, unwilling to recognize the truth. It didn’t even require observation over time, a conclusion could be drawn instantly—Ling Huang Xian is the spy.

It’s quite obvious! He could freely enter and exit the Valley of Resentment and Evil, and just happened to be called over by Ling Huang Xian before Du Xian was possessed by the Blood Dragon’s soul, and now he’s vanished. Who else could it be?

Goodness, back then Ling Huang Xian even invited Lin Nuo to visit the Valley of Resentment and Evil. Talk about a plot against him!

The Blood Demon’s origin was fabricated just to create a plausible backstory.

As for whether these immortals would recognize the Blood Demon later, Lin Nuo hadn’t cared about that at all. It had nothing to do with him—not a single cent!

While Lin Nuo was pondering, the immortal who had just spoken shifted his gaze back to Lin Nuo.

He said sternly:

“Regarding the Blood Dragon’s soul incident, it is indeed our sect’s failure to exercise proper vigilance and a lapse in our guard. We underestimated the Blood Dragon’s soul and never expected it would bring such catastrophe.

Honestly, with its peculiar abilities, we, the immortals, stand no chance against it. Fortunately, we have young brother Lin Nuo in the valley, which turned calamity into safety.”

Lin Nuo: “!”

What the heck, what is this?!

The ominous premonition of a villain has come true?!

“Indeed, it was because of our little brother that the Blood Dragon was suppressed.”

Zun Dao added,

“From the injuries of the deceased immortals, it appears the Blood Dragon’s ability targets us immortals. The Tianqi Xianren also mentioned that while immortals wield immortal energy, it has become a weapon for it to attack us. But our little brother has no immortal energy, leading him to be unafraid of the Blood Dragon.”

Lin Nuo: ?

So that’s it! The gas released by that Blood Dragon was targeting you immortals, huh?

If the Blood Dragon wants to kill immortals, what does that have to do with me, Lin Nuo?

So, when I was beating it up, I was battling the dragon soul.

To know that its skills specifically targeted you immortals, and all this fuss about releasing it was thought to be an attack on me, Lin Nuo, but I ended up beating it back into a weakened state.

One of the junior immortals asked:

“But even if Young Master Lin isn’t an immortal and lacks immortal energy, how could he bring the Blood Dragon back to a weakened state? And why would he hide so many immortal beasts in the Yuhong Cave?”

“You wouldn’t understand.” The immortal chuckled.

Lin Nuo: What? You understand? Are you the King of Understanding of this generation?

The immortal continued, chuckling: “Miss Li and Miss Su told us that our little brother knew in advance that there was a problem with the immortal beasts. In order to avoid alarming the snake, he hid the immortal beasts in the Yuhong Cave to escape a disaster. As for how he managed to weaken the Blood Dragon, you’ll have to ask the young brother himself.”

Quickly, the ball was kicked back to Lin Nuo’s feet.

Lin Nuo simply replied, “I don’t know.”

Am I supposed to tell you I chopped the Blood Dragon with my peak account? You can figure it out! Go ahead, see if you can think of something!

At that moment, the old immortal who had previously played chess with Lin Nuo, Tianqi Xianren, chimed in:

“Everyone, there’s no need to delve into it. Our little brother’s conduct is made clear in the recommendation letter from the elder Zun Shifu of the Xuanyun Sect; he’s discreet and unassuming, a wise person won’t reveal their trump card. Let’s end this here, there’s no point in further inquiry.”

“That’s right! We only need to know that our little brother hid the immortal beasts in Yuhong Cave to prevent them from suffering harm. Once he learned that the Blood Dragon’s soul had possessed Du Xian, he naturally stepped in to chase it away immediately, even forcing it back into a weakened state so we could easily eradicate it.”

Zun Dao seriously analyzed, then glanced at Lin Nuo,

“Right, young brother?”

I can’t believe this nonsense.

First of all, the reason for hiding the immortal beasts in Yuhong Cave—I, Lin Nuo, just conned Ruo’er and the others into going along, barely making it convincing. As for stepping in to take on the Blood Dragon?

Slander! Who stepped in so gallantly?! If I’d known this guy was coming from Zifeng Valley, I would’ve run, alright!

So how come this Blood Dragon is so formidable, yet your Zifeng Valley didn’t get wiped out last time?

Oh, right, there’s also someone without immortal energy.

Lin Nuo turned to look at Su Kexin behind him, who was staring at him with admiration sparkling in her eyes:

【As expected of senior martial brother, how impressive! To receive such high praise from the immortals, not being an immortal yet outperforming them.】

Lin Nuo realized what was happening.

Alright, Blood Dragon, you must have been defeated by Su Kexin.

Now, the question arises: Did I just ruin a good opportunity for Su Kexin to level up?
