My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 590 - 273: Fourth Brother, You Should Go!

The firelight reflected on everyone’s faces, highlighting their indifference.

The wine that Lord Zhou brought was evidently good, bowl after bowl, and everyone drank with satisfaction.

Moreover, Lord Zhou’s skill in roasting chicken was quite decent, so they ate happily too.

The aroma wafted over, and watching them eat so deliciously, even Li Hengsheng felt a bit hungry, as he hadn’t eaten for nearly two days since being captured by the Ji family.

"I have already informed the Archbishop; by daybreak, they should be here. By that time, we’ll hand Li Hengsheng over to the Archbishop, who will use him to exchange for a Painting Treasure created by a Painting Immortal, increasing the strength of our Longevity Sect. More importantly, since we’ve captured Li Hengsheng, the Archbishop will surely reward us," the leading Bishop stated with a smile.

"Not only that, the traitor Ji Qingzi has already been executed by us," another Bishop added.

"My lord Bishop, are the Painting Treasures at the Painting Immortal level really that formidable?"

Another expert at the Innate Perfection level asked, "I’ve heard that the painters at the Painting Immortal level are the most powerful Painting Saints, and the Painting Treasures they create surpass even those at the Painting Saint level. Just how powerful are they?"

"What do you know?"

The Bishop said coldly, "Painting Immortal is indeed just a title, but perhaps you don’t know that to become the strongest Painting Saint, one is called a Painting Immortal. Achieving recognition as a Painting Immortal requires this realm’s acknowledgment, not self-appointment."

"Even amongst powerful Painting Saints, even if they reached the legendary Great Freedom realm, the Painting Treasures they create significantly differ. The Painting Treasures at the Painting Immortal level are truly supreme treasures, with power so great it can destroy the heavens and the earth, incomparable to ordinary Painting Treasures, and therefore can also be referred to as Immortal Treasures, the closest things to the legendary Immortal’s treasures."

"However, correspondingly, after becoming a Painting Immortal, the difficulty in creating Painting Treasures increases exponentially! Otherwise, after countless years, why are there only a few Immortal Treasures in the entire Cangyuan Realm?"

"They uphold the will of heaven and earth, and in the entire Cangyuan Realm, there aren’t more than twenty Immortal Treasures left. If we don’t count those that have long been lost, there might not even be ten. Celestial Sea City proposing to exchange a Painting Immortal’s Painting Treasure for Li Hengsheng should indicate to you why so many want to capture Li Hengsheng."

The Bishop explained to everyone.

The few people were shocked to hear this; they hadn’t realized that the Painting Treasures created by a Painting Immortal embodied the will of heaven and earth.

Hearing this, they might have some concept, but without seeing it firsthand, it’s hard to comprehend. After all, treasures like Immortal Treasures cannot be easily revealed; even if a faction controls Immortal Treasures, they won’t use them easily unless they are at the brink of life or death.

At this moment, Lord Zhou wobbled to his feet and walked over to Li Hengsheng, looking down at him.

"Old Fourth, did you hear that? You are worth an Immortal Treasure; that’s impressive. Even the strongest land Immortals wouldn’t dare claim their value rivals that of an Immortal Treasure," Lord Zhou said with a grin.

"Do you regret it now? Back in Ghost City, if you had secretly captured me and sent me to Celestial Sea City, wouldn’t you now possess an Immortal Treasure?" Li Hengsheng sneered.

"Zhou Jun, what are you saying to him?" some people noticed that Zhou Jun was talking to Li Hengsheng and asked him.

But Zhou Jun didn’t respond to them.

Instead, he kept looking at Li Hengsheng.

Yet, at this moment, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. Lord Zhou slowly said, "In this life, people are always searching for their own value, but many go through life never knowing their worth. For you, Old Fourth, to realize your value is equivalent to an Immortal Treasure at such a young age is indeed fortunate. At least your life hasn’t been wasted."

"Your life hasn’t been wasted either," Li Hengsheng said nonchalantly. "As you said yourself, you devoted your life for your brother; you have your goals, your beliefs. Your life, in your eyes, is just as valuable and meaningful, isn’t it? Your brother’s value to you probably surpasses that of an Immortal Treasure, doesn’t it?"

"That’s true." Zhou Jun shook his head. "But before, I had faith, had goals, but now I don’t know, I’m a bit confused."

Hearing this, Li Hengsheng was surprised and glanced at Zhou Jun, not understanding what he meant.

"Why confused?" Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask.

But Zhou Jun didn’t answer.

"Old Fourth, you should go."

Zhou Jun suddenly gave a calm look towards Li Hengsheng and said these words.

These words left Li Hengsheng stunned.

What does this mean?

To let him go?

"In the Mountain Ancient Land, you let me go once; it’s time I returned the favor," Zhou Jun smiled.

"Zhou Jun! What are you saying to him?"

Seeing Zhou Jun ignore them, the leading Bishop sensed something was amiss. A few people stood up and were just about to walk over and see what Zhou Jun was up to, when suddenly...

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically!

Because they suddenly felt something was wrong.

Black blood lines began crawling up from within their bodies, like veins, slowly creeping up. Yet, they had already reached their necks!
