Re:Immortal

Chapter 169

Everything proceeded rather smoothly with the group riding in the chariot, the young miss's carriage passed through the guard's checkpoint unstopped and continued towards the inside of the city.

Addi's entire mood seemed to have taken a turn for the best as he could not keep the grin off his face the entire time. Omis on the other hand had tried to strike a conversation with the young miss.

It was rather weird for him that there were no guards nor servants were attending to her within the carriage. He and Addi were after all strangers, and for them to be allowed inside without as much as an inspection was strange.

The only guesses he had were, first, the guards outside were confident in their ability to protect their young miss should any problem arise. Though for this, Omis was still a bit skeptical about that.

Second, the guards were confident and had complete faith in the strength of their young miss, and did not think Omis and Addi were much of a threat. While that may be true since Omis and Addi had concealed their cultivation base making them look nothing but first stage regular mortal cultivators, a quick glance at the young lady next to him was enough to see that she was no better.

Third, was the possibility that they simply don't care and are content with merely following her orders no matter what the consequences of said orders may have on her.

At the strangeness of the situation, Omis grew more curious about the young lady's peculiar situation. Noticing him staring intensely at her, The young miss's face quickly turned into a shade of red.

"Young miss-" Before Omis could finish, she interrupted him with a frown.

"Please call me Flora!" For the first time since their meeting, the young lady did not stutter.

"Oh? Well then excuse me, Flora." Omis corrected himself earning him a wide smile from her.

"May I be so bold as to ask for what reason you have invited me to join you?" He asked, a hint of curiosity, flashing through his eyes.

"A-Ah, a date of course!" She hastily replies, her eyes lowered in embarrassment.

Though she may have sounded sincere rough enough to even fool Addi, who did not seem to be listening anymore and simply watching them with amusement, Omis did not quite fall for it.

Under that bashful facade, her gaze was abnormally calm. Her eyes did not belong to an innocent young lady, but a dangerous cunning fox.

"A date, huh?"

At that, Omis turned to glance at Addi and sent a Divine message. 'Addi, time to leave.'

Addi who had a smile all along suddenly frowned. 'Oh, why would we do that? We are already inside the city, don't you feel any shame from leaving the young lady alone after using her?'

'What the hell are you talking about you geezer, first of all, this is no ordinary young lady. If we do not want to get involved in unnecessary problems, I suggest we leave now.' Answered Omis.

'Hmmm...' Rubbing his long beard, Addi glanced back at him with a raised eyebrow.

Before he could say anything, both his and Omis's eyes turned sharp as Omis jumped out of his seat and shielded Flora while Addi did not move but had a deep scowl on his face.

Flora was surprised at Omis's sudden action, yet she did not manage to say anything before the entire carriage abruptly exploded with a loud bang, a strong force pushed against Omis and Addi, once it came in contact with their bodies, however, it completely disappeared.

Surprised screams came out from the surrounding people as the chariot suddenly blew up in the middle of the street, the bodyguards that were meant to protect the young miss all laid collapsed on the ground bleeding, some missing limbs other already dead.

"Fuck me, it seems like we can never be low-key no matter what we do." Muttered Omis.

Turning to glare at him, Addi suddenly erupted in annoyances.

"You think? With a face like that, and the shit you do how the fuck do you expect us to be low-key?!"

"No need to be jealous old man, let's just take care of this and leave." Replied Omis.

Flora who was shielded from the impact by Omis had a shocked expression on her face as she stared at him and then at Addi in astonishment.

As the dust slowly settled down, Omis glanced at his surroundings only to find that the street had been surprisingly cleaned, the civilians and unrelated cultivators were quickly pushed away out of the scene by some black robbed cultivators.

This was a calculated ambush. The black robbed cultivators then suddenly appeared on top of the rooftops and on the ground as they surrounded Flora, Omis, and Addi.

Annoyed Addi spoke. "Let's just go, It's none of our business."

Omis was about to agree when Flora suddenly grabbed the hem of his robe and pleaded. "Please save me!" For the first time since their meeting, her eyes were sincere as she pleaded.

With a sigh, Omis shook his head and removed her hand from his robe. Addi was right, there was no point in staying here any longer, nor did they have any reason to save her, they already did so once.

"Sir, she seems to have survived the blast!"

"There are two people with unknown cultivation base accompanying her."

"Doesn't matter, kill them all!" Said a masked cultivator.

At his order, the black robbed assassins suddenly plunged from the rooftops and shot towards Addi first with their weapons drawn.

Clang!

A transparent shield suddenly appeared surrounding him as Addi coldly glanced at the attackers, once his white hollow eyes met theirs, the assassins' bodies abruptly exploded into a puff of red smoke dyeing the entire street crimson.

Facepalming, Omis spoke with a sigh. "Addi, I thought you said we shouldn't intervene and just leave."

Glancing back at him, Addi seemed rather embarrassed as he replied with a dry cough. "*Cough* I did not mean to do that, it was just a reflex." He said.

Seeing the entire scene play out, Flora's eyes widened like sausages as she hastily kowtowed and pleaded. "This humble junior asks for seniors' help!"
