My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 78: Mistress, You Wouldn’t Want Anything to Happen to Master, Would You?

At those words, the Immortal King of Myriad Weights fell silent.

At the side, the Jade Emperor Immortal Monarch spoke, his expression somewhat grave.

“Fellow Daoist Myriad Weights, Heavywater and the other two have all already broken through to the Immortal Monarch Realm. Even Xu Kun has already reached the Peak of the Immortal King Realm.”

“With your current condition, I am afraid you are no match for them.”

Both within and beneath his words, the Jade Emperor Immortal Monarch was urging the Immortal King of Myriad Weights to ask Lu Xunxian to act.

After all, if it were him, he would absolutely not hesitate to make use of Lu Xunxian’s strength. He was, after all, an Immortal Venerable. Erasing three Immortal Monarchs would likely take no more than the lift of a hand.

But the Immortal King of Myriad Weights’ gaze remained resolute, and he shook his head.

“Master, my enemies ought to be slain by my own hands. They are a knot in my heart. Only by personally killing them can I remove this Heart Demon.”

“Besides, Master has already revived me. I am already filled with gratitude. How would I dare ask for even more?”

The Immortal King of Myriad Weights had his own pride. He was unwilling to rely too much on Lu Xunxian’s strength. He already owed Lu Xunxian more than enough.

Moreover, he wanted to prove his worth to Lu Xunxian. He was absolutely not a useless man.

At those words, a satisfied expression appeared on Lu Xunxian’s face.

This was a small test he had given the Immortal King of Myriad Weights. If the Immortal King of Myriad Weights had chosen to rely on his power, Lu Xunxian would still have kept him at his side, but he would never again have gone to such lengths to carefully nurture him.

But if the Immortal King of Myriad Weights chose to settle his grudges himself, then Lu Xunxian would think somewhat more highly of him, and in the future, he might truly cultivate him as a trusted confidant.

“Then I will leave it to you to settle it yourself.”

“Yes, Master.”

At the very same moment that the Immortal King of Myriad Weights finished reforging his body, on the Twenty-Fifth Heaven of the Immortal Realm—

Upon a Heaven-Piercing Divine Mountain, a red-haired young man sat cross-legged with his eyes shut. With every breath he took, a terrifying power coiled around his body.

But in the very next moment, he sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes, taking out from within his body a small lamp radiating a brilliant cyan light.

It was a Soul Lamp. With only a single drop of blood, one could determine whether the owner of that blood was alive or dead.

The moment he saw the Soul Lamp light up, the young man’s expression turned ugly.

“Master, you truly are hard to kill. But it does not matter. With the Soul Lamp in hand, and with you having only just reforged your body, I doubt you are very strong right now.”

“I was able to kill you once, so naturally I can kill you a second time.”

“Once you truly die, my mistress will probably be willing to submit to me completely.”

He was none other than Xu Kun, the traitor who had betrayed his master and killed him—the one who had slain the Immortal King of Myriad Weights.

And as though he had just recalled something, a flash of killing intent appeared in Xu Kun’s eyes.

That was right. Xu Kun had betrayed the Immortal King of Myriad Weights for the sake of nothing more than a woman. But unfortunately, even after killing the Immortal King of Myriad Weights, his mistress had still refused to submit to him.

Xu Kun rose to his feet, and with a flicker of his figure, he arrived at the foot of the Heaven-Piercing Divine Mountain.

Beneath the Heaven-Piercing Divine Mountain was another Small World.

Within that Small World stood eight towering pillars, each ten thousand zhang tall. Endless mysterious runes were carved upon them, radiating golden light and forming a Prison Grand Formation.

With one step, Xu Kun entered the formation.

At the center of the formation stood a luxurious palace. When Xu Kun entered it, he saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall. With every breath, she was cultivating continuously, but because of the formation, she could never complete the process. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

When she saw Xu Kun enter the formation, the woman opened her eyes, and they were filled with disgust.

“Did I not already tell you? Give up on this idea. If you try to force me, I would rather self-destruct than let you have your way.”

This woman was none other than the Dao Companion of the Immortal King of Myriad Weights, Xu Kun’s mistress, the object of his obsession—the Myriad Flowers Immortal King.

Faced with his mistress’s disgust, Xu Kun remained utterly indifferent. He even greedily licked his lips.

He did not know why, but he simply loved seeing her like this.

“Mistress, do not be so anxious. I did not come today to force you.”

Xu Kun sneered, causing an ominous feeling to arise in the Myriad Flowers Immortal King’s heart.

When she saw Xu Kun take out the Immortal King of Myriad Weights’ Soul Lamp, now blazing with brilliant light, the Myriad Flowers Immortal King’s heart jolted violently.

“Brother Tian, are you still alive?”

All these years, Xu Kun had been deceiving her, telling her that Lin Chongtian had already fallen. But the Myriad Flowers Immortal King had always believed otherwise. She had always believed that the Immortal King of Myriad Weights had not truly perished.

And it was precisely that faith which had allowed her to endure until now.

But what Xu Kun said next caused her heart to rise into her throat at once.

“Mistress, Master had his body destroyed by Heavywater Immortal Monarch and the others five hundred and thirty thousand years ago. Now that he has only just reforged his body, I am afraid he no longer even possesses Immortal Realm strength.”

“What do you think Heavywater Immortal Monarch and the others will do if I inform them of this news?”

At those words, the Myriad Flowers Immortal King’s face darkened.

“He was your master, after all. What is it that you truly want?”

“Hahaha, what do I want? Have you not always known, Mistress? I was the one who fell for you first, yet Master got there ahead of me.”

Xu Kun’s expression twisted hideously, as though recalling something. The killing intent he felt toward the Immortal King of Myriad Weights deepened even further. Then he looked at the Myriad Flowers Immortal King, his eyes full of greed.

“Mistress, I am no worse than Master. Why not consider me instead? My feelings for you are sincere.”

“And besides, Mistress, you would not want Heavywater Immortal Monarch and the others to learn that Master is still alive, would you?”

“You are shameless!”

The Myriad Flowers Immortal King’s face was filled with fury, but in the end, she still did not yield.

“If Brother Tian learned that I had done such a thing just so he could live, he would never forgive himself.”

“So you should give up on this idea.”

Xu Kun had not expected that even after using his master’s life and death to threaten her, his mistress would still remain unmoved.

“Good, good, good. Since that is the case, then do not blame me for showing no mercy.”

With that, Xu Kun shot into the sky and arrived outside the Heaven-Piercing Divine Mountain. The Soul Lamp in his hand floated before him, and as Xu Kun formed seals with both hands, an invisible power descended upon the Soul Lamp.

A Soul Lamp did not merely allow one to determine whether its owner was alive or dead. It could also be used to locate its owner.

At the very instant Xu Kun made his move, on the Thirtieth Heaven, Lu Xunxian sensed the disturbance and could not help letting out a cold snort.

In an instant, the heavenly secrets surrounding Lin Chongtian were concealed. Even if an Immortal Venerable personally acted, they would still be unable to determine Lin Chongtian’s location.

And after Lu Xunxian had hidden Lin Chongtian’s heavenly secrets, atop the Heaven-Piercing Divine Mountain, Xu Kun stared at the Soul Lamp as it abruptly went dark, and his eyes widened in shock.

“What exactly happened? Could it be that Master died again not long after reforging his body?”

“But that should be impossible. Back then, Master escaped with the power of Origin Essence. If he truly reforged his body, he should not have died again so quickly.”

“No, I need to discuss this with those three Immortal Monarchs.”

“Otherwise, once Master comes back for vengeance, I am afraid none of us will meet a good end.”

Xu Kun’s expression was ugly. His figure flashed, and he sped toward the upper reaches of the Twenty-Fifth Heaven.
