Chapter 148: Chapter 144 Did She Really Become an Immortal! Chapter 148: Chapter 144 Did She Really Become an Immortal! “I’ve never heard such a request in my life!”

Li Ping’an said impatiently,

“What if I don’t agree? You’re about to die of old age anyway, death is death, be it from old age or murder. Don’t drag me into this, goodbye!”

Having said that, Li Ping’an picked up his leg and walked away without looking back.

“Immortal Li, only if you, an Earth Immortal, kill me can I become an Immortal!”

Ye Wenjie pleaded with his last bit of strength,

“Immortal Li, you’ve witnessed the opening of the Netherworld Gate, don’t you want to see if I can truly become an Immortal? Immortal Li, I beg you!”

After finishing his plea, Ye Wenjie exerted himself to kowtow in the direction of Li Ping’an’s retreating figure.

“…”

Li Ping’an, who had been walking away, suddenly stopped his steps, turned his head to glance at Ye Wenjie, and truly felt pity in his heart. To be honest, he was moved by curiosity and compassion.

For one thing, he really wanted to witness whether Ye Wenjie could become an Immortal using the Crooked Paths and Evil Ways “Five Prison Immortal Transformation Method.”

Secondly, it was truly difficult for him to bear seeing a man of Ye Wenjie’s age and power kneeling and kowtowing to ask him for a favor.

However, what Ye Wenjie was asking for was no small matter. Killing an old woman was more troublesome and prickly than helping one up.

Ye Wenjie sensed the difficulty Li Ping’an was facing and immediately made a promise,

“Immortal Li, you are truly blameless for killing me! To ease your mind about doing it, should this matter ever come to light, you need not fear, for I have prepared a Special Amnesty Order for you in advance! Ma Dugong, why aren’t you bringing it here quickly?”

“Yes!”

The man in sunglasses, Ma Dugong, who had been silently observing everything from the periphery, immediately pulled out a document from his briefcase and proactively handed it to Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an took it, nodding in satisfaction, and didn’t forget to tease the man in sunglasses,

“So your name is Ma Dugong, huh? You’ve been all secretive, anyone would think you were an assassin.”

“Immortal Li, please don’t waste any more time, my candle is nearly burned out. Please, make your move quickly!”

Ye Wenjie pleaded once again, once more kneeling on the ground with both hands holding up a pistol.

“I can agree to your request, but you must answer one question for me!”

Li Ping’an then headed towards Ye Wenjie.

“Please ask.”

Li Ping’an pointed to the sky outside the house and voiced his question,

“I want to know if your Gouchen Grand Formation was successful or not.”

“It was successful… otherwise, I wouldn’t have aged so rapidly all of a sudden…”

Li Ping’an asked again,

“What was the key to its success?”

“Although the Gouchen Grand Formation needed Immortal Li to be the focal point of the formation, it also required my life as a sacrifice to borrow the strength of heaven and earth! Initially, I only had a slim chance of success, but thanks to you holding out here, you not only made the formation successful but also saved those innocent Cultivators. Otherwise, even if people died, success wasn’t guaranteed!”

“I see!”

Hearing the answer he wanted, Li Ping’an nodded, while Ye Wenjie became even more urgently pleading,

“Immortal Li! Please, kill me quickly! Hurry! I must achieve disembodiment into Immortality before I die of old age!”

“Fine! I’ll grant you your wish!”

Li Ping’an immediately took the handgun Ye Wenjie was holding, and before she could die of old age, he shot her between the eyebrows:

“I never thought the first mortal I, Li Ping’an, would kill would be you! Have a good journey!”

“Thank you, Immortal Li… we will meet again…”

Ye Wenjie, having been shot in the forehead, passed away with gratitude and satisfaction on her face, and soon stopped breathing on the ground.

Just when Li Ping’an thought Ye Wenjie was thoroughly dead, as he was observing her body, the deceased Ye Wenjie suddenly came back to life; not only did she abruptly get up, but she also hopped and jumped around, cheering at the ceiling with both hands:

“I’ve become an Immortal! I’ve become an Immortal! I’ve finally become an Immortal!”

The frenzied Ye Wenjie shouted a few times and then suddenly stood still, maintaining the posture of looking up and cheering regardless of talking or moving.

“Damn, that scared the hell out of me!”

Li Ping’an knew that Ye Wenjie’s resurrection was nothing more than a flash in the pan, and he confirmed she was definitely dead now.

“Did you really become an Immortal?”

Li Ping’an gazed at her dumbfoundedly, beginning to ponder this question.

A strange scene unfolded once more. While observing Ye Wenjie’s body with the naked eye, a glowing figure, combining a human and a ghost, formed above her head. This human-ghost hybrid was the younger version of Ye Wenjie.

At the moment of her appearance, she looked down at Li Ping’an, floated upwards, and even stretched out her hand as if trying to pull Li Ping’an with her into becoming an Immortal.

Li Ping’an was taken aback and refused Ye Wenjie’s kind offer. After Ye Wenjie waved at Li Ping’an with a smile, a halo appeared above both their heads. Ye Wenjie drifted into the halo and then disappeared completely from it, leaving only a contemplative Li Ping’an:

I went through so much suffering and danger just to become an Earth Immortal, yet Ye Wenjie became an Immortal by killing, isn’t that too easy?

Wait! Did she really become an Immortal?

If it’s true, where is she going?

But if she hasn’t become an Immortal, shouldn’t her ghost maintain the state prior to her death? How could her soul revert to what she looked like when she was young? And then disappear? And that without Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to see!

Could it be… she really did become an Immortal!?

If Ye Wenjie truly became an Immortal, as she said, is this world really the nineteenth layer of hell, the human hell? And has the Netherworld Gate truly been opened? What else will come through the Netherworld Gate to destroy this world in the future?

These questions lingered in Li Ping’an’s mind, hard to shake off.

“To hell with it, I’ll seek my own Dao!”

Li Ping’an felt a sudden and immense sense of liberation. The state of the world, the fate of others, these were beyond his control. The only thing he could change was himself!

What he should do next is to devote himself to Cultivation with a focused mind and step onto the Dao as soon as possible, to become an Immortal in his own way!

“Immortal Li, you have completed your task. This is your room card; you can go back and rest now. If you are leaving tomorrow, I will come to send you off and also give you the Book of the Earth,” said Ma Dugong.

“Alright!”

Li Ping’an took the room card and said goodbye to Ma Dugong as he entered the elevator, while Ma Dugong phoned for medical personnel to take the fainted male and female Cultivators to the hospital for treatment.

As Li Ping’an rode the elevator back to his room, he discovered that the Dragon Capital Sky Tower was filled with screams, roars, and ghostly wails. The lingering ghosts, fierce ghosts, and the greatly strengthened evil spirits caused a commotion for a while before finally dispersing.

…

The gold and purple light in his eyes faded, and Li Ping’an stopped using “Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden”. Everything returned to normal, except the eerie ghostly atmosphere lingering in his mind.
