Chapter 129 - Up

"Mom, push me back. I might become a bit noisy later, but be patient; I'll come back and see you when I have the time. Let me know if you run out of money." The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

At this moment, Li Huowang was engulfed in flames with a strange smile on his charred face, talking to himself.

Seeing this, Shou San frowned and took another step back, “Elder was right. This kid is different from the usual Strayed Ones. This is rather difficult to manage.”

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly felt movement behind him.

As soon as he turned around, his expression tensed up and the flames around his body quickly diminished before burrowing back into his body.

“Elder Yan Jianxi, Elder Er Tingnu, Elder Bi Xiuai, Elder She Changshi, Elder Yi Jianyu, Elder Shen Benyou. Why have the elders come down from the mountain?” asked Shou San as he greeted the elders.[1]

“How is the situation?” asked the square-faced Elder Shen Benyou, looking rather disgruntled.

“The Strayed One is just standing there. As you can see, he doesn’t follow our routine,” Shou San was rather upset as he pointed his charred finger toward Li Huowang.

Hearing this, the six of them exchanged glances. Then, a tall woman amongst them walked over and said, “He’s almost there. We just need to give him another push.”

As she said that, the six of them raised their fists into the air, causing the flames that had enveloped Li Huowang to pull him toward the ground.

“Mom, can you push a little faster? I feel like something is wrong. Also, remember to cover my mouth.” Li Huowang continued to mumble to himself as he stared at the moon in the night sky.

“I’ll do it,” Elder Er Tingnu, who was dressed like a courtesan, said. Then, she made a gesture with her finger and reached into her hair before gently pinching and slowly pulling outward.

Gradually, a silver needle that carried a cold light began to be pulled out.

Soon, the needle’s length had reached almost an inch. This went to show just how deeply the needle had been stuck inside the woman’s head.

Once she pulled it out, she gently flicked it, causing the bloodied silver needle to fly out with an afterimage before embedding itself directly into Li Huowang’s charred head.

“What did you inject into him? Don’t administer things carelessly; things can go wrong,” reminded Yan Jianxi.

Ba-Hui had been summoned by Li Huowang, and so at least for now, he had momentarily obtained a portion of Ba-Hui’s strength.

Seeing that their plans had been foiled, the six elders simultaneously glared at Li Huowang.

After a moment, Elder Yan Jianxi spoke first, “Young man, what are your intentions?”

Powerless, Li Huowang continued to kneel on the ground, his body swaying as though it could fall at any moment; there was no sign of vitality in his eyes.

Due to having endured extreme mental and physical agony, Li Huowang’s heart was filled with the desire for death. At present, even thinking was very difficult for him; even so, he endured it and mumbled, “I’ve done my part... Now, it’s your turn.”

“Now? Are you mad? You must know how long we have waited for this moment?” shouted one of the Elders.

“Stop horsing around! Quickly return the blood symbols!” shouted another Elder.

“Who do you think you are?! You dare to threaten us?” shouted yet another Elder.

However, Li Huowang’s outburst suppressed all their voices, “It must be now! I didn’t get what we agreed on! So, don’t even think about getting what you wanted!”

Even in his current state, Li Huowang was keenly aware of the fact that there was no friendship between him and the Ao Jing Sect. He was also a Strayed One. If he didn’t take the opportunity to barter right now while he still held the upper hand, then there would be no room for negotiation once he no longer had Ba-Hui’s strength.

“You guys can just kill me now! Then all your work this time around would have been for nothing! As long as... Help me get rid of Dan Yangzi! ...I won’t care about what you do next!” Li Huowang used his remaining strength to state his conditions.

Then, his body began to tremble as his physical and mental agony started to spread outward in all directions.

At the same time, all the Ao Jing Sect disciples fell to the ground, shrieking miserably. This agony greatly surpassed the intensity of their usual self-mutilation.

When any existence is unable to endure the pain and suffering they are going through, they try to think of a way to escape. And so, all the Ao Jing Sect disciples took out various sorts of sharp weapons before pointing them toward their necks.

“Stop! We will help you get rid of Dan Yangzi now!” shouted one of the Elders.

When he heard this, a smile bloomed on the face of Li Huowang who had been quivering in agony.

At that moment, everyone had their attention focused on Li Huowang; nobody noticed Ba-Hui glancing at Li Huowang.
