Chapter 607: The Semi-Immortal Descends

Fang Lie didn’t care much about the other onlookers, but East Kunlun and Great Thunder Sound Temple annoyed him deeply. He even considered provoking them. Unfortunately, these scoundrels knew Fang Lie disliked them and hid far from the crowd, denying him any excuse to act. Attacking outright wasn’t an option—not until the Zhu Xian matter was settled.

The Mo Sect had also sent someone: a lone Fire Tribulation Immortal from the Mo family. This visitor wasn’t here to aid Fang Lie but merely observe, only daring to secretly deliver a handwritten letter from Mo Qianxun.

The Mo Sect headquarters lay too distant to send stronger reinforcements without full mobilization. Any half-hearted effort would’ve been crushed by Zhu Xian. Mo Qianxun, ever shrewd, avoided such blunders. In fact, his letter seethed with fury—he’d believed Fang Lie borrowed the Wisdom Token to hunt ordinary sect elders, not declare war on Zhu Xian!

When Mo Qianxun learned the truth, he nearly despaired. While other sects could be managed, Zhu Xian was a hidden viper. Failure to eliminate them completely would invite endless retaliation. Fang Lie’s undying nature made him fearless, but Mo Sect’s Higher-ups lacked such protection. Had Mo Qianxun known Fang Lie’s plan, he’d have refused even if offered multiple Ninth-Rank Treasures.

But the traitor’s revelation changed everything. Fang Lie’s evidence turned Zhu Xian into a universal enemy, leaving them too besieged to retaliate. Combined with Zhu Xian’s initial provocation, this gave Mo Sect justification. Thus, Mo Qianxun settled for berating Fang Lie while letting him keep the Wisdom Token.

The letter ended with a stern command: Fang Lie must strike Zhu Xian brutally. Only by exposing their weakness could he spur allied sect action. Total annihilation wasn’t necessary—crippling them sufficed. Mercy now would backfire catastrophically once Zhu Xian recovered.

Relief washed over Fang Lie. Without Mo Qianxun’s support, the Wisdom Token could’ve been recalled, leaving him reliant on the non-lethal Benevolence Token. But with both Mo Sect’s supreme Ninth-Rank Treasures under his control, who could oppose him?

After dismissing the messenger Elder, Fang Lie resumed feasting in his Treasure Tower, taunting the inverted, naked Immortal Kumo. Words mocking Zhu Xian covered the demon’s skin, and Fang Lie forced him to sing—flogging him for off-key notes.

Immortal Kumo’s fall shocked spectators. Once a fearsome Demonic Path figure even Semi-Immortals respected, he now hung like butchered livestock. His attempts at suicide failed under the watch of Fang Lie’s clones. Tortures like meridian reversal, icy flames, and flesh-eating insects broke him completely.

Yet most onlookers approved. Immortal Kumo’s atrocities justified any cruelty. He’d once poisoned an entire sect, slaughtering thousands before their Grand Elders’ eyes to craft skeletal puppets. Such evils left no sympathy.

Fang Lie, ordinarily compassionate, couldn’t overlook these crimes discovered during his Soul search. Strangely, tormenting Immortal Kumo brought him clarity and an inexplicable approval from some Great Will, warming the "Dao De" characters on his back.

A month later, as Fang Lie finished a chicken leg, a Semi-Immortal’s aura darkened the skies. Winds hurled stones that bloodied the wailing Immortal Kumo, now ignored.

Fang Lei smirked toward the approaching terror. "A Semi-Immortal for a Qi Sea cultivator? How flattering."

Panicked spectators fled—Semi-Immortal battles ravaged continents. Their thousand-mile distance meant nothing.

Amidst the chaos, a skeletal figure materialized ten yards away. "Laughing at death’s door?" it rasped. "How delightfully foolish."
