Chapter 321: Daoist Shouren’s Thrill

The extermination of the sect was guaranteed; the battle results were verifiable!

At this moment, the Ancient Moon Sect was eerily quiet, while Daoist Tuxing stared at Lu Ye with eager eyes, a gentle and humble smile plastered on his face.

Although a group of people had surrounded Lu Ye, looking at his calm demeanor made it seem as if he was the one encircling them.

“This humble one is Daoist Tuxing, I greet Fellow Daoist Lu Ye. Please, don’t take action—everything can be talked out, everything is negotiable.”

Daoist Tuxing bowed, his attitude positively stellar.

Lu Ye nodded lightly.

“Don’t worry, I’m just here to back up Daoist Shouren. If you guys are to be exterminated, it’s on Daoist Shouren to make the call.”

Daoist Tuxing’s face changed drastically.

“Daoist Shouren, we were mistaken! It’s Fan Qinghui who is ungrateful, lower than a beast. Fellow Daoist, you may dispose of Fan Qinghui as you see fit!”

“Fellow Daoist, please forgive us. We acted under the impression that this was the Ancient Moon Sect. If you were to strike him down openly, it would sully the sect’s reputation.”

“But now we realize, Fan Qinghui’s actions are shameful and unworthy of a cultivator. The Ancient Moon Sect will expel him from the sect immediately, and we are willing to compensate you to express our apologies for what occurred!”

Daoist Tuxing spoke rapidly, admitting wrongs, making changes, and promising compensation in one breath.

Is this the might of a strong person?

This is the… terrifying aura of someone infamous!

Just revealing his face, without even launching an attack, was enough to scare all the strong members of a major sect like chickens.

Thinking back to how they treated him before.

And now, how they treated Lu Ye, and their attitude towards themselves.

What a shift from arrogance to flattery—makes you chuckle, doesn’t it?

Daoist Shouren gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Can we blow up the sect?” Daoist Shouren asked through sound transmission.

Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.

Oh, this Daoist Shouren…

Interesting.

“We can!”

“Then it’s…”

“Though the price might be a bit steep.”

“How steep?”

“It’s two hundred thousand spirit stones, the price you set.”

Oh, well, that’s nothing.

If Daoist Shouren had known this would happen, he would have set the price at one thousand spirit stones.

Let Lu Ye wipe out this group!

But now, selling Daoist Shouren out wouldn’t yield that many spirit stones.

“You can put it on my tab.”

“Forget it, I’ll just kill one! That’ll do!”

Daoist Shouren walked over to Daoist Tuxing, who was beaming with smiles.

“I’m going to kill Fan Qinghui, do you have any objections?”

“None, none at all! Naturally, he deserves it.”

“This time you all attacked me; I want five hundred thousand spirit stones. Any objections?”

“Five hundred thousand…”

Daoist Tuxing gritted his teeth. “Alright!”

“And you two owe me spirit stones for the interest over the years!”

“Sure!”

With Lu Ye present, Daoist Shouren could command whatever he wanted, and Daoist Tuxing had no choice but to agree.

After all, the knife was hanging over his head; how could he refuse?

Daoist Shouren sighed in relief—this feeling…

Bliss!!!

The heavens can see; Daoist Shouren had never felt this great before.

It felt like every pore in his being was opening up, and his soul was flying to the clouds.

Now, this is called cultivation!

This is cultivation!

This is what it means to get stronger!

Daoist Shouren turned to kill Fan Qinghui, who was already no match for him, previously injured by Daoist Shouren and then again by Daoist Tuxing.

Now, in a one-on-one, there was no way he could be a contender.

“Senior Brother, save me!”

“Senior Brother, this is the Ancient Moon Sect! You can’t let him kill me in front of you!”

“Senior Brother!”

His cries echoed desperately.

The members of the Ancient Moon Sect were all speechless.

So it came to be, Fan Qinghui was brutally slain right before everyone’s eyes.

His pleas failed to budge Daoist Shouren’s hardened heart.

The Ancient Moon Sect handed over the spirit stones and gave them to Daoist Shouren.

Daoist Shouren gave a gentle sigh.

From now on, neither he nor Daoist Tuxing or Daoist Guyue would remain friends.

But come to think of it, they probably weren’t friends to begin with.

Since Lu Ye took action, most of the spirit stones belonged to him.

Naturally, Lu Ye wouldn’t refuse; he deserved it.

Daoist Shouren drew up a long list; he originally just wanted to reclaim the principal on the debt, but now…

Not a single penny in interest could be spared!

After all, he knew where these people’s caves were.

So next…

Daoist Shouren started paying visits, at the first house, a fight broke out.

Another fight ensued.

The other side didn’t even intend to pay back the spirit stones; when faced with Daoist Shouren’s demands, they brushed him off with false pleasantries.

Unexpectedly, Daoist Shouren was so firm this time that they couldn’t take it.

When dealing with someone with a bad temper, one could endure some hardship, but having to endure from Daoist Shouren? Absolutely unacceptable!

So, they fought.

This time Lu Ye didn’t intervene, and Daoist Shouren emerged victorious.

He reclaimed everything—principal and interest combined.

One by one, he visited, one by one, he fought; the entire Fourth Heaven began to realize the enormous change in Daoist Shouren.

Days went by like this.

Meanwhile…

Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan hadn’t separated.

Because when the two had just ascended, Bai Qiulan had been cleansed of Chaos Yin Poison by Lu Ye and was completely free of it, so for a long time, she hadn’t suffered from its outbreaks.

But now, the Chaos Yin Poison was flaring up again.

“Hongling, help me…”

Wisps of mist enveloped Bai Qiulan, her face deathly pale, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Yue Hongling, however, acted as if she didn’t hear.

As the Chaos Yin Poison erupted more violently, Bai Qiulan finally couldn’t hold back and let out a shriek.

The piercing cold felt like countless knife mountains were torturing her, her soul being pierced by countless steel needles.

The purest Yin Power was rapidly devoured by the two Taiyin Bone Bugs, leaving behind only a mottled Chaos Yin Power.

If it weren’t for these two Taiyin Bone Bugs, with the continual eruption of Chaos Yin Power, Bai Qiulan’s strength would definitely be greater than her current peak state.

Another way to alleviate the Chaos Yin Poison was to cultivate faster than the outbreak of Chaos Yin Power; then the Chaos Yin Power would be a great boost.

However, the presence of the Taiyin Bone Bugs completely killed that possibility.

Bai Qiulan’s scream was heart-wrenching.

This time the eruption of Chaos Yin Poison felt even fiercer; plus, she hadn’t experienced this sort of pain in ages, making it especially hard to endure.

“Hongling, Hongling, save me, quick! I’m going to die, help me…”

Bai Qiulan pleaded.

She crawled towards Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling waved her hand, sending Bai Qiulan flying.

“What’s the rush? Let you experience what true suffering feels like!”

Yue Hongling’s eyes were filled with coldness.

Now does Bai Qiulan realize what kind of suffering she usually endures?

Now she is suffering; she absolutely deserves it!
