Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2597: Framing

The Heaven Devouring Art was created by a peerlessly stunning Great Emperor of the Demon Clan ten million years ago, later obtained by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor by chance, and then stolen away by Fang Bai.Fang Bai had once spent quite some time carefully studying the Heaven Devouring Art, and now he had already achieved considerable mastery over this Demon Arts manual.

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, because he cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art, was bitten back by the Demonic Qi; his temperament was corroded, turning cruel and violent, bloodthirsty and fond of killing, which ultimately led to his Sect being destroyed by the joint forces of the other seven top powers, and he himself became a public enemy of the Immortal Realm.

But Fang Bai, due to his special physique, after cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art, successfully suppressed and dissolved the Demonic Qi, instead turning the Heaven Devouring Art into a tremendous aid in his cultivation.

When Immortals clash, they will more or less leave behind traces of Immortal Technique Secrets. Fang Bai deliberately left the aura from when he cast the Heaven Devouring Art in this stretch of heaven and earth and upon the corpses of the Flying Swan Peak’s five experts such as the Dayan Immortal Emperor, thus creating the illusion that the killer was the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.

Fang Bai believed that even if the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor came in person, he would not be able to see any flaw.

After finishing all this, Fang Bai also entered the Sect Protection Array of the Immortal Bow Hall, quietly waiting for the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor to arrive.

"Fang Bai, what were you busy with out there just now?"

Lianyue Fairy and the many Immortals of the Immortal Bow Hall gathered within the Sect Protection Array. Seeing Fang Bai come in, she leaned over to his side and asked curiously.

The Zigong Immortal Emperor and the others were also puzzled. They all turned their gaze toward Fang Bai, wanting to hear the answer from his mouth.

"Nothing much. Just wait and watch..."

Fang Bai blinked at Lianyue Fairy and said with a smile.

As for the Heaven Devouring Art, Fang Bai naturally could not speak of it in public. If it spread, it would cause an uproar in the Immortal Realm, and then he would end up just like the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor—reviled by all and becoming a public enemy of the Immortal Realm.

The Heaven Devouring Art was created by the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor of the Demon Clan, a peerless genius from ten million years ago, and the Demon Clan and Immortals were mortal enemies. Thus the Immortal Realm would absolutely not tolerate an Immortal who cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art.

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor was precisely such an example.

The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, one of the eight top Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm, had once been incomparably glorious, but after cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art, his temperament changed drastically and he fell into the Demon Dao. When the news spread, the Immortal Realm was in an uproar. In the end, his Sect was destroyed, and the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor himself vanished without a trace.

So even though Fang Bai had cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art, he could never openly acknowledge it.

Since Fang Bai didn’t say anything, Lianyue Fairy stopped asking. She obediently stood at his side, following his gaze to look toward the distant horizon.

After a hundred breaths, the stretch of void outside the mountain gate of the Immortal Bow Hall began to fluctuate violently.

"He’s here!"

Fang Bai and the Zigong Immortal Emperor sensed the anomaly in the void almost at the same time and exclaimed in low voices.

The younger Disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall only knew that such existences as Immortal Emperors existed, but they did not know just how powerful an Immortal Emperor truly was, so it was a case of ignorance breeding fearlessness.

But the Immortal Emperor Realm Experts such as the Zigong Immortal Emperor knew that a single Immortal Emperor could easily wipe out a Sect. Thus they were so tense that they held their breath, not daring to even exhale too loudly.

That patch of violently fluctuating void was torn open by a terrifying force, forming a Black Hole several zhang long, and then a figure, borne on the gust of surging astral wind, appeared within the Immortals’ field of vision at the Immortal Bow Hall.

"The Flying Swan Immortal Emperor..."

Fang Bai looked at that Emperor Realm Expert, tall and thin, clothed in a gray robe, standing suspended in the void, and muttered softly. In his eyes, battle intent flashed with a sharp gleam.

"Little Immortals of the Immortal Bow Hall, get out here for this Immortal Emperor!"

When the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor saw the corpses of his sect’s five high-level members, his beard and hair bristled, his rage uncontainable. After searching around the Immortal Bow Hall for a moment, he shouted toward the mountain gate of the Immortal Bow Hall.

Previously, the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor had been in secluded cultivation within his Sect. After receiving news that the Soul Lamps of the five high-level members had gone out, he followed the aura they left behind all the way, and finally saw their corpses here at the Immortal Bow Hall.

Although the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor concluded that the Immortal Bow Hall did not have the ability or the nerve to kill the Dayan Immortal Emperor and the other four high-level members, he thought that since the corpses of those high-level members were here, then the many Immortals of the Immortal Bow Hall must know what had happened earlier.

"You all stay in the Sect Protection Array and don’t move. I’ll go out and talk to him!"

As Fang Bai spoke, he glanced at one of the Immortal Bow Hall’s Stewards, the one titled "Cuishan Immortal Emperor." Then, right before their eyes, he used a disguise secret technique, changing his appearance to match his, released an aura identical to his, and stepped out of the Formation.

In the next instant, Fang Bai was standing in front of the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor.

"Oh my, so it’s the illustrious Flying Swan Immortal Emperor gracing us with your presence!"

Fang Bai put on a look of frightened grief and indignation, stamping his foot with a sigh. "What a pity, you’re a step too late. Otherwise the Dayan Immortal Emperor and the others wouldn’t have fallen to the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s hand!"

The Flying Swan Immortal Emperor was in a state of extreme fury, his mind not as calm as usual, and Fang Bai’s disguise was flawless. Thus he did not see in the slightest that this Cuishan Immortal Emperor before him was actually Fang Bai in disguise.

"Cuishan Immortal Emperor, what is going on here? Tell me everything from beginning to end, and make it clear!"

The Flying Swan Immortal Emperor stepped forward, grabbed Fang Bai by the front of his robes, and questioned sternly.

The Cuishan Immortal Emperor’s Cultivation Level was only mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm. Fang Bai, currently pretending to be him, also showed only that level. When an Immortal Emperor strikes at a mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm Expert, the vastly weaker mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm Expert has no power to resist at all.

Therefore, although Fang Bai could have used a Divine Artifact to avoid this grab, he suppressed the impulse and allowed the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor to clutch his collar.

"Here’s what happened... Not long ago, five Immortals from your esteemed Sect arrived at our Immortal Bow Hall, saying they wished to discuss some matters with us. But before they even had a chance to speak, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor appeared right after them. At that time, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor looked completely crazed. The moment he saw the five Immortals of your Sect, he launched an attack on them... In the end, the five Immortals of your Sect fell, and the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor left immediately afterward..."

Fang Bai watched the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor’s expression and spoke cautiously.

"...The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor... the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor... that madman..."

The Flying Swan Immortal Emperor muttered that name over and over, the muscles in his cheeks twitching non-stop, clearly already furious to the extreme.

He did not harbor the slightest doubt toward the story Fang Bai had fabricated.

The Golden Crow Palace, established single-handedly by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, had been wiped out by the joint effort of the seven top Immortal Emperors. Put anyone in the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s place and they would harbor bitter hatred in their heart. How could he possibly let Disciples of the seven top powers go if he encountered them?

At this moment, the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor was in a violent state. Fang Bai saw his eyes bloodshot, a wisp of Evil Qi faintly seeping out from his body, somewhat similar to the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor after he had fallen into the Demon Dao. Fang Bai’s heart couldn’t help but leap with joy, knowing that the things he had done earlier had already had the intended effect.

"The Golden Crow Palace is gone. Next, it’ll be your Flying Swan Peak’s turn..."

Thinking that Flying Swan Peak would soon follow in the Golden Crow Palace’s footsteps, a surge of delight rose in Fang Bai’s heart, and his brows unconsciously lifted.

After stealing the Heaven Devouring Art from the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and firmly committing it to memory, Fang Bai did not destroy it, but instead placed the Heaven Devouring Art in a hidden place near Flying Swan Peak, then deliberately lured a Flying Swan Peak Disciple there to find it.

Presumably, that Heaven Devouring Art later ended up in the hands of the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor.
