Success!

Wang Mang was overjoyed!

100 billion!

If he could keep this up, his strength would rise at an incredible pace.

Suddenly, he remembered his other mission, which was to kill the old local deity. This should be doable now, right?

There was a big fat reward waiting for him for doing so, and he had a score to settle. That being said, there was a problem…

He did not know where to find the old local deity!

In the end, Wang Mang had no choice but to seek out the Lord of the Eighteen Hells to ask for directions.

Two hours later, he finally obtained the information he wanted.

To Wang Mang’s surprise, the old local deity’s territory was not on one of the Five Sacred Mountains, but in a desolate village in the Four Rivers Province, which took him half an hour to find.

When he arrived, he was surprised to find that he could sense the auras of several land immortals nearby. However, when he searched the village, he did not find the old local deity.

It was like the village was completely uninhabited and desolate.

The only noteworthy thing here was an abandoned temple.

“Could it be that the old local deity isn’t here?”

He frowned, but then his thoughts were interrupted by a monstrous roar. He could also tell that the one who had roared was a land immortal.

Curious, he flew in the direction of the roar, which seemed to have come from the depths of the mountains. It took him half an hour to arrive at the mountain range, but once there, he saw a 200-meter-long creature fighting four experts.

When he saw the monster clearly, Wang Mang was stunned. It was a super-large black bear!

Its entire body was burning with mysterious flames, and it was covered in a layer of black, glowing armor. The four experts it was fighting were land immortals, three of which Wang Mang did not recognize.

However, the one land immortal he did recognize was the same one he had been looking for…

The old local deity!

He observed the three unfamiliar land immortals. Based on their auras, it seemed that they were early-stage land immortals, as their auras were much weaker than the old local deity’s.

They probably transcended their tribulation recently.

Even so, their presence gave Wang Mang a headache, as killing the old local deity would be much harder with them present.

Then, just as Wang Mang was about to hide…

The old local deity and the other three who were attacking the black bear all stopped and turned to look at Wang Mang.

When the old local deity saw Wang Mang, he was astonished that Wang Mang had become a land immortal. This was beyond his expectations.

The old local deity made a gesture, and the three land immortals surrounded the black bear to keep it busy. Then, he asked, “Fellow Daoist, why are you here?”

Seeing the old local deity’s hypocritical face, Wang Mang sneered inwardly. Of course, on the surface, Wang Mang still smiled warmly and said, “I happened to pass by this place, so I came over to take a look at the commotion.”

Unfortunately, now was not the time to make a move. He wanted to hide and wait for another opportunity to act.

The old local deity smiled and nodded.

“I see! However…”

“Since you’ve seen what needs to be seen, you should leave!”

“I have something to do at the moment, so I can only entertain you next time.”

The old local deity unceremoniously told him to leave. Wang Mang was unhappy, but he still smiled and nodded.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the old local deity, Wang Mang prepared to leave.

However, when he turned around, the old local deity suddenly attacked him!

Shocked, Wang Mang quickly shot into the sky, and then heard a shocking explosion behind him. The mountain behind him had been completely leveled.

A sneak attack!

After seeing Wang Mang dodge, the old local deity revealed a look of dissatisfaction. He turned to the three land immortals in the distance.

“The three of you deal with that black bear. I’ll kill this fellow first!”

With that, the old local deity turned to Wang Mang with an indifferent expression, his face still smiling kindly.

Wang Mang was bewildered.

F*ck! How did this guy know that he wanted to kill him?

Could it be that the Lord of the Eighteen Hells had ratted him out?

That was unlikely!

However, he would never admit his true intentions.

Thus, Wang Mang looked both shocked and angry as he asked in grief and indignation, “Fellow Daoist, we have no grudges against each other. Why did you attack me just now?”

“In my heart, 1 have always admired you!”
