Master of Untold Daos - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: No Faceless Around
As a Heavenly Court member, Bu Liuhen knew they haven’t found Jade Lake’s hidden forces. He put on a black bamboo hat and entered the Red Sleeve Tavern into a private room, where a serf soon came, “What would the guest like to order?”

Bu Liuhen took off his hat and eyed him, “You should recognize this face. Tell Li Hongyi to come see me.”

The serf needed only one look, “Whether Hongyi will see you or not is unclear. But I can at least inform madam of your request.”

Light footsteps were soon heard outside the room and a red-clothed woman carrying a lute entered. Barefoot, with mesmerizing fragrance, she smiled, “Oh, my. If it isn’t Heavenly Court’s immortal official, Bu Liuhen. Oh, but you’re a Celestial Immortal now, and should be its immortal general.”

“I didn’t expect it either, for Scarlet Dragon Star River’s Li Hongyi to be a woman selling herself off! You know of my situation and have no time to waste on your cynical remarks. There’s one thing I want to know, whether or not Jade Lake will help me leave this Star River in safety.”

“Everything has a price, you know this. Heavenly Court sealed off the Scarlet Dragon Star River. To take you away, they will need to breach the entrance to the Vile Dragon Star River and Jade Lake can’t move its men as it wished to Vile Dragon Star River.”

“I have information on Heavenly Court, information regarding the fortune immortal fruit!”

Li Hongyi’s eyes flashed, “I see know why Heavenly Court doesn’t stint from anything to hunt you down. So you know the secret of the fortune immortal fruit, a fruit that can improve one’s realm! What grade?”

“Only useful to Earth Immortals. You should know the Scarlet Dragon Star River is a small place.”

“Such fruit doesn’t have much value. Everyone knows that one who becomes a Celestial Immortal through brute force is no match for a genuine one. He is barely above an Earth Immortal. This fruit is not enough for Jade Lake to risk fighting the powers in

the Vile Dragon Star River and come save you.”

“Can’t we negotiate?”

Li Hongyi smiled as she poured him wine, “It’s not that there’s no other way.”

Bu Liuhen down the whole cup, “I ask for madam’s help.”

“I have four disciples, dead at the hands of a single man. Can you guess who it is?”

“Who?”

“No one else comes to mind but you. I sent four peak Earth Immortals disciples to kill you, only to die instead. And now I see why. You’ve been a Celestial Immortal for a long time now.”

Bu Liuhen felt a headache coming, I came from the Heavenly Court, staining my hands red from all the Jade Lake underlings I’ve killed. I should’ve known coming here was a mistake.

He sensed many people drawing near, with the weakest being at Earth Immortal.

“You’ve kept me talking for so long so you could gather so many to kill me?”

“Against a famous Celestial Immortal with the greatest footwork in the Scarlet Dragon Star River, one must do all it can!”

Bu Liuhen shattered the cup in his hand and saw three sword immortals rushing him.

Bu Liuhen rose and kicked the three into coughing blood.

He glanced at Li Hongyi, but she never moved an inch.

“It won’t be easy to keep me here if all you do is sit around!”

Li Hongyi smiled, “I have no interest in sharing a tomb with you. This is Heavenly Court’s lands. I will also die if they find me. Letting your whereabouts leak is enough.”

Li Hongyi left and the Earth Immortals around him assaulted again!

Bu Liuhen yelled, “Eight Dragon-ascending Steps!”

He stomped with uncanny might, sending a ripple that turned the tavern into rubble while rending apart an Earth Immortal!

Bu Liuhen shouted, “Li Hongyi abandoned you! Are you going to throw your lives away?”

An Earth Immortal sneered, “My daughter died by your hands. Nothing matters as long as you fall!”

Bu Liuhen knew this was bad. These people were avengers!

Only now it hit him. The Jade Lake would need to pay a far to heavy a price to help him. It would rip the frail balance in the Three Dragon Constellation to shreds. While not saving him was even better, since he was a traitor of the Heavenly Court and would cause heavy damage to their forces.

Such a large ruckus would most certainly attract the Heavenly Court’s patrol, arriving in time to see him, “It’s Bu Liuhen! Report it to lord Star Defender to capture him!”

Waiting here for the Star Defender to show up would lead to his death. I must kill my way through Scarlet Dragon Star River and go into hiding!

Bu Liuhen sent majestic ripples with each kick, shaking the heavens itself!

After handling his attackers with ease, he went to Bu Shenlian and held her behind him, “We’ve been found!”

Bu Shenlian asked, “How? Won’t the Jade Lake save us? Father, you’re a Celestial Immortal, the fewest in the Star River. And you even have outstanding footwork!”

“I was a Heavenly Court member once, dyeing my hands red with the blood of Jade Lake. They won’t accept me. Even going to Vile Dragon Star River won’t be possible.”

“Isn’t there a third party here?”

Bu Liuhen caught her meaning. She referred to the Headless Assembly. Bu Liuhen chuckled, “You’re right. If there is one who’d accept me, that would be the most mysterious of them all, the Faceless. But he’s been gone for more than three hundred years.”
