Chapter 112: Wine to Descend Immortals

Huangmu Village

Huang Liang was very angry in his heart. Today, when he came back from the spiritual land, he heard his wife exaggerating the situation. He was only slightly annoyed, thinking that mere mortals were disrespecting his wife, which meant they were disrespecting him. This wind must not be allowed to rise, he had to teach Lin Jiang a lesson.

But outside the door, he heard Lin Jiang’s words and was already furious. How dare a mere mortal utter such disrespectful words? He must be killed.

He, a great cultivator, graciously came to Huangmu Village to protect everyone. It was only right that the village’s belongings should be offered to him. But this boy is so arrogant. How can he stay?

"I apologize, immortal. Lin Kai is still young. Please don’t compare yourself to him."

"Immortal, Lin Kai didn’t mean any harm."

"Lin Kai, quickly apologize to the immortal!"

Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan, upon hearing this, quickly begged for forgiveness from Huang Liang and urged Lin Jiang to do the same.

Lin Jiang looked at Xiao Yuan and the others, feeling both sad and understanding. They had always relied on cultivators for protection, and their way of thinking was ingrained.

So, looking back now, coming to the Lin family was actually quite fortunate for him.

"Lin Kai, if you kneel and beg for forgiveness, I will let you go today. Just leave Huangmu Village. But if you continue to be arrogant, I will show you the consequences of offending an immortal."

Huang Liang had already made up his mind. He would drive away this boy and kill him outside the village. This would preserve the loyalty of the villagers, considering this boy’s relatively high status in Huangmu Village.

"I am not talented, but I am willing to go against the immortals as an ordinary person."

With just one sentence from Lin Jiang, the expressions on the faces of all three people changed drastically, and Xiao Yuan quickly grabbed hold of Lin Jiang.

"Lin Kai, don’t do something foolish."

"Lin Kai, are you crazy? Get down on your knees and beg for mercy."

"Lin Kai, don’t be silly. That is a celestial being."

Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan shouted in disbelief. Mortals going against the immortals, what an arrogant statement, what a foolish idea.

"Fine, fine, fine. This immortal is willing to spare you, but since you’re looking for death, don’t blame me. Since you’re a mortal, you can make the first move."

Huang Liang couldn’t help but laugh in anger. Mortals going against the immortals, it has been so many years since something like this has happened. Well, if that’s the case, he will make his move and don’t blame him for being ruthless.

"I was involved in building every house and brick in Huangmu Village. It would be a shame to see it all destroyed. How about a battle outside the village?"

"As you wish, haha…"

"Please wait a moment, I’ll be right there."

Lin Jiang said, without hesitation Huang Liang also turned around and summoned his flying sword, flying away on it.

"Uncle Xiao, Fang Yuan, don’t be alarmed, I’ll be back soon, don’t follow me."

"Lin Kai···"

"Help me warm up the wine and prepare the meat, I’ll be back in an hour at most."

Lin Jiang said, in ancient times there was Guan Yu warming up wine to kill Hua Xiong, now there’s Lin Jiang warming up wine to kill immortals, won’t that be a great tale?

Lin Jiang activated his body technique and swiftly flew across the roofs in the village. His speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn’t keep up, they only saw a black shadow pass by.

"Lin Kai has amazing lightness skill."

Xiao Yuan was also surprised, he really didn’t know that Lin Kai had such a light skill.

"Uncle Xiao, do you want to come and see?"

"Ah, no, let’s prepare food and drinks. We can go to mourn for Lin Kai later. He was indeed arrogant this time."

Xiao Yuan shook his head. He instinctively felt that Lin Kai was doomed, but what could he do? He couldn’t stop it, he was helpless in the end.

······

Outside the village

Huang Liang, with his hands behind his back, saw Lin Jiang using light skills to swiftly approach. He quite liked this light skill. If more people in the village learned it, hunting and gathering herbs would be much easier in the future, and his descendants would have a more prosperous life.

"Lin Kai, are you ready to die?"

"Hmph, die? Who knows who will die. Just at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he dares to call himself a fairy. It’s simply a joke."

"You…"

Huang Liang got very angry, but then suddenly he was shocked, because he had never told anyone in the village about his abilities, so how could this person know?

"What, is the cultivator really so easily scared by just one sentence?"

"Hmph, no matter what trick you’re trying to play, a deity is still a deity, while a mortal is just a mortal. Today, you’re doomed."

"Is that so? Maybe you should look behind you then."

"This kind of trickery can also… ah, ah…"

At first, Huang Liang didn’t care, thinking it was just a small trick. But when a dark shadow covered him, he suddenly turned around and saw a huge bird face staring at him, making him scream in fright.

"Brother, I want to eat him."

Big Shadiao said, its mouth watering already. Since Lin Jiang arrived in this strange place, it hadn’t had a good meal. It had eaten all the demon beasts within hundreds of miles, but those demon beasts were at most at the late phase of the first stage, which wasn’t enough for it. It had been hungry for several years.

"Talking with mouth, a three-level monster"

Huang Liang’s heart turned cold now. Oh, a three-level monster! This is equivalent to a three-level monster in the Golden Core Period. How can it be here? Huangmu Village has this ancestor. Why did they invite him?

"Big Shadiao, eating it will upset your stomach. It’s not good to have vomiting and diarrhea later."

"Really?"

"Yes, by then you won’t be able to defeat Small Shadiao anymore. It will press you down and rub against you on the ground."

"I won’t eat, I won’t eat."

Big Shadiao quickly covered its mouth with its wings. It must not eat, it’s too scary. Otherwise, it could peck him to death with one bite.

"What do you think, are you convinced?"

Lin Jiang grabbed Big Shadiao’s mouth, preventing it from killing anyone. He really had no interest in cultivating immortality.

"I admit my mistake, senior. I didn’t know you were hiding here. Please spare me."

Huang Liang dared not mention what happened earlier. He only saw Lin Jiang as an old and mysterious creature, no wonder his spiritual sense didn’t sense anything. Guess it’s because of their profound cultivation.

"Why are you being so timid? How about recovering a bit?"

"I dare not, senior. Please spare me."

"You’re not even a bit courageous. I feel awkward about killing you."

"Senior…"

Huang Liang was on the verge of tears. Where did this Shadiao senior come from? Why would they leave the prosperous cultivation city to be with ordinary people?

"Forget it, killing you would be pointless. So, do you know what to do then?"

"From now on, does the senior have the final say in Huangmu Village?"

"Really?"

"Ah, well, um…"

"From now on, you have the final say in Huangmu Village. I’m just an ordinary villager in Huangmu Village, understand?"

"Understood, understood, understood, elder."

"Choosing a virtuous wife is the key to the prosperity of our family in Huangmu Village. The life of the villagers is not easy, so I hope you take good care of yourself."

Lin Jiang nodded and left after saying a few words. He asked Big Shadiao to continue lurking nearby. Nobody has ever discovered Big Shadiao in these many years, probably because this place is remote and there aren’t many cultivators around.

In Lin Jiang’s home, Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan sighed while preparing food and drinks to offer as tribute to Lin Jiang. Suddenly, they were startled when they saw Lin Jiang return.

"Lin Kai, you, you…"

"I’m alive, not dead."

"Ah"

Both of them were shocked, they could truly feel Huang Liang’s murderous intent, why did they let Lin Jiang go.

"Lin Kai, why didn’t the immortal kill you"

"I think the immortal knew he was in the wrong. He told me, ‘A wise wife keeps her husband out of trouble,’ so it’s his wife’s fault."

"Um, um…"

"Really, the yellow immortal is a good person."

Lin Jiang continued to deceive, whether you believe it or not, I believe it.

"What sound"

"It sounds like Mrs. Xu’s wailing"

"What’s wrong with her?"

A little while after Lin Jiang finished speaking, they heard a sound of distress coming from the village, like the screaming of a pig. Wasn’t that Mrs. Xu’s voice?

"Get lost! I’m dealing with my wife. It’s none of your business. All of you, get lost! Don’t eavesdrop or spy."

Just as the three of them were about to go and enjoy the commotion, Huang Liang’s loud shout came through. Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan shrunk their necks and retreated.

"Come, come, come. Let’s eat, drink, there’s nothing interesting to see."

Lin Jiang wasn’t interested. What’s so interesting about beating your wife, unless it’s in the bedroom?

After this incident, Huang Liang became more friendly in the eyes of many people. Although he continued to collect offerings as usual, when the villagers sent supplies, he would say thank you. The women and children in his household were also strictly prohibited from going out. He no longer oppressed the villagers and even helped with their medical needs. Even when Xiao Yuan went out to trade, Huang Liang would recommend reliable businesses.

Lin Jiang was very satisfied with this. He was really afraid that Huang Liang was foolish. Dealing with smart people was much easier than dealing with fools.

As the days passed, Lin Jiang began to consider leaving. He didn’t come to the mortal world to show off, but to prepare for joining the Five Elements Sect. Zhang Ye had said that after abandoning cultivation, one should avoid contact with spiritual energy. After three to five years, it would be difficult for others to notice. It had been almost eight years now.

"Forget it, stay for two more years, make it a total of ten years, just to be on the safe side."

Lin Jiang hesitated for a long time and felt it would be better to be cautious. Joining the Five Elements Sect was a big deal and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. It wouldn’t be a big deal if he couldn’t become a disciple, but if the Five Elements Sect mistook him for a spy and got rid of him, that would be extremely bad.

After making up his mind, Lin Jiang started to enjoy his life. He worked on the fields, hunted animals, played with the children in the village, and became the king of the children. It felt quite comfortable.
