C37 – Liu Yuan Was Disappointed

Liu Yuan looked at the two people in front of him. Ding Liu was lying on the ground. While still alive, he was seriously injured. Wanniang was subdued and couldn’t move. The Snake Ring Sword was probably her natal magic weapon, because when the sword was broken, her face instantly turned pale as blood flowed from her mouth.

Wanniang’s gaze was fierce, and she kept silent.

Liu Yuan had previously been fooled by her gentle, meek appearance and showed himself rashly. He hadn’t expected that the woman actually had a ruthless character like a poisonous snake.

Ding Liu forced himself to get up and begged, “Mr. Junxuan, please, let her go. She was just trying to protect her son. She didn’t know what she was doing…”

“Then what about you?” Liu Yuan said coldly, “I didn’t lie to you about the Cold Accumulating Jade and you did get it, right? If I know all the details like you were hit by the Blazing Fire Arrow twenty years ago, then what makes you think I don’t know you were a traitor from the Fallen Jade Mansion?”

“If that’s what I’m here for, you two would have died long ago. You wouldn’t even have had the chance to start the fight against me.”

Ding Liu didn’t know what to say. He gritted his teeth and knelt down, “This is all my fault…”

Liu Yuan laughed as the sword in his hand moved closer to Wanniang’s neck. “You want me to let her go? How shameless of you! I helped you before, but what do I get in return? I’m very disappointed in you.”

Ding Liu’s face turned paler. All the muscles on his body had disappeared, and he had turned back into that fat short man again.

If one wanted to dominate a conversation, he had to first claim the moral high ground.

Although Liu Yuan was the one who appeared from nowhere and interrupted their confidential discussion, he had helped them before and he was here with good intentions.

By saying so, he could make the two of them feel guilty.

And then he could easily win their trust.

Liu Yuan’s gaze swept across them before he withdrew his sword. He looked dispirited, “I don’t care if you believe me or not. I know I have a clear conscience. As for what you think of me, it’s none of my business, really.”

Liu Yuan then threw a bottle of healing pills to Wanniang.

Wanniang failed to catch it and the bottle fell on the ground.

Liu Yuan just let it be and continued, “Devil Cult is behind the conflict between Pool Feather Mountain Manor and Water Moon Dock this time. Things would only get worse. Sooner or later, the Fallen Jade Mansion will send people here. If you don’t want to die, you should leave.”

After saying that, he turned around and left. He was a man with absolute power and of few words. If others dared to question him, he would teach them a lesson. That was what a true master was like.

Liu Yuan was pretty sure that now they would be convinced. He still needed to go find Gu Chang and see if there was anything he could do at the moment.

The wariness and fierceness in Wanniang’s eyes finally vanished. She was stunned for a moment. The man had easily won, and he could have interrogated them or simply killed them.

However, he did nothing like that; he offered her a bottle of healing pills and left. He even looked so disappointed.

These were all high-grade healing pills Liu Yuan got from Yue Longzhang.

Wanniang had lived away from people for many years, so she probably did not have much pills left. She recognized that it was a bottle of Godsend Pills.

Ding Liu stood up and staggered towards Liu Yuan as he said remorsefully, “Mr. Junxuan…”

But Liu Yuan didn’t stop and was soon lost to sight.

Ding Liu was stunned for a while until he heard Wanniang’s painful moan. He hurriedly went back to help her up and was about to feed her the pills when she stopped him.

She summoned a bug and fed it some of the pill, and when she saw there was nothing wrong with the bug, she took the pill.

Ding Liu tried to say something, “He…”

But Wanniang shook her head and stopped him, “I was wrong, but from the moment we left the sect, we must not believe anyone. Let him go. We should go find out whether what he just said about Devil Cult is true or not.”

Ding Liu sighed and said nothing more. He knew it was difficult for someone as stubborn as Wanniang to change.

That being said, however, Wanniang took the medicine bottle and kept it in her pocket.



In the mountain forest.

After a moment of meditation, Liu Yuan opened his eyes. He had already sensed the location of Gu Chang.

He walked towards a mountain stream, not far away from which was a hidden cave.

In the cave, besides Gu Chang, there was also a very seriously sick old man.

He was Ding Huan, the former master of Jade Void Sect, also known as the Divine Master of Heaven and Earth.

Hundreds of years ago, after being parasitized by Eight-armed Heavenly Devil, he tried all he could to suppress the devil in him. He ended up alone in this cave, fighting this endless war against the evil.

Even though he was an almighty cultivator at the Tribulation Passing Stage, after several failures to overcome the inner devil, his life was eventually about to come to an end. Right at this moment, Gu Chang strayed into his cave.

Ding Huan decided to teach him all he knew. Unfortunately, however, Eight-armed Heavenly Devil also decided to choose him as its next host.

Liu Yuan was familiar with this part of the story, which was the beginning of Gu Chang’s tragedy.

Usually every villain had a tragic past.

And Gu Chang’s was even more miserable.

While Liu Yuan had yet to familiarize himself with his current cultivation base at the Nascent Infant Stage, Ding Huan and the Heavenly Devil in the cave were very weak. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen a random kid as a successor and host.

As for the Nascent Soul Dharma Incarnation…

Liu Yuan activated the incarnation just now only because he had no other choice. In fact, he had just reached the Nascent Soul Stage, and his Dantian was still empty.

He only summoned a part of the Dharma Incarnation, and the actual power was weakened by 70%. It was merely a paper tiger.

“This Dharma Incarnation won’t work this time at all.”

Liu Yuan was very much troubled.

Indeed, once one reached a high level, it was impossible for him to rely solely on the enhancement of attributes.

He still needed to cultivate, or else he wouldn’t be able to keep up.

“Alas, as expected, there are no shortcuts in the world.”

Liu Yuan sighed as he walked into the cave. It was pitch black inside, and the sound of water dripping could be heard.

He could now see things clearly in the dark, so he no longer had to use a fire piston like when he had just transmigrated.

There were twists and turns in the cave, and it took Liu Yuan a while before he saw two people in the depths of the cave.

Wait!

Apart from the scraggy old man sitting cross-legged on the ground and the child standing beside him, there was also a sinister black fog that had eight arms behind the old man’s back, just like a twisted, huge spider.

The black fog was howling, with its two arms piercing through the old man’s shoulder blades, and blood was gushing out. The other six arms extended towards Gu Chang at the same time!

It was trying to complete its parasitization!

The situation was urgent! Liu Yuan’s eyes opened wide as he immediately pulled out his sword and flicked it.

Clang!

A clear chime instantly spread out in the cave as a circle of invisible sharp force charged towards the black fog!

The sound kill!
