Chapter 312: Familiar Encounters, Recipe for the Beast Clan
As he spoke, Wang Hao glanced at Chen Changsheng, who was adjusting the Array Formation.
It seemed Chen Changsheng had also heard the commotion here; while sketching the array, he said, “Stop losing your temper. If you have the guts, just k*ll him. If not, sit down and behave.”
“This is someone else’s stronghold; it’s quite easy to k*ll a fox here.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Moon Shadow still suppressed the anger in her heart and sat down.
“Why do this?”
“With so many people in the world, do you have to k*ll a woman who loves you?”
“I have no choice. My ancestor’s strength is too great; typically, curses can’t harm him.”
“Only curses filled with resentment can hurt him.”
“Right now, there’s only one person beside me who truly cares for me.”
“In this Crimson Realm, we are both pawns in a game. If we want to escape this game, sacrifices are inevitable.”
Saying this, Wang Hao pointed to Chen Changsheng beside him and continued, “There are many players like him in this Crimson Realm. As long as we can’t escape this game…”
“I will never have control over my own fate. At certain moments, I might very well become a discarded pawn.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up at Moon Shadow and the others. “He’s right. To control your own destiny, you must get out of this game.”
“Clearly, he is successful, very successful.”
“Now, do you know what it takes to become a Demon Cultivator?”
“He is the most orthodox Demon Cultivator in the world.”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng lowered his head again to continue sketching the array, while Moon Shadow’s mouth twitched unconsciously.
“You want to take the lives of all living beings in Lin Cang Zhou, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“The Wang bloodline is widespread throughout Lin Cang Zhou. Although the bloodline curse has harmed my ancestor, he will wake up soon.”
“So I want to destroy all of Lin Cang Zhou; this way, my ancestor’s awakening will be significantly delayed.”
“With this time, I can recuperate properly since my strength is not that great, and the curse has also caused me considerable damage.”
While speaking, Chen Changsheng had finished setting up the array.
“Alright, I’ve already prepared your things, but you’ll have to wait until we leave Lin Cang Zhou to start.”
“No problem.”
“By the way, the one-tenth of the power of living beings you promised me can go to the Qingqiu Fox Clan.”
“Sure.”
“The sky is getting late; let me escort you out.”
With that, Wang Hao stood up and led Chen Changsheng and the others away.
As they passed by some cages, a voice calling for help suddenly rang out.
“Chen Changsheng, is that you?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng stopped in his tracks.
Turning around, he found that the person who was trapped was none other than Wang Zhihao, a branch of the Wang Family.
Seeing this, Wang Hao smiled broadly and said, “Cousin, this person is quite a big shot. When he infiltrated the Wang Family, it was your greatest opportunity in life.”
“It’s a pity you didn’t seize that opportunity.”
Having said that, Wang Hao looked at Chen Changsheng with a smile.
Chen Changsheng walked straight towards the cage where Wang Zhihao was imprisoned.
“Is it you?”
“Yes.”
Upon receiving Chen Changsheng’s confirmation, Wang Zhihao’s eyes instantly sparkled with hope.
Although he didn’t understand why his former subordinate could “d*e and then come back to life,” he knew that this former subordinate could now save him.
“Save me!”
“Warm reminder: If you think this book is good, to avoid not being able to find it next time, please remember to add it to your shelf!”
“I treated you well when I was in the Wang Family!”
“Sorry, I can’t save you.”
“Why?”
“Because you are not the person I chose. I don’t want to provoke a madman because of you.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng being so ungrateful, Wang Zhihao’s eyes turned red.
“Then why didn’t you choose me? Is it just because my talent is not good enough?”
“Not at all. I’ve encountered people whose talent was even worse than yours, yet I still trained them into a force that shakes the world.”
“The reason I didn’t choose you is simply that you’ve never recognized yourself.”
“The humble sparrow thinks it has the ambition of the swan; the ant dares to draw its sword against heaven; this mindset is not wrong.”
“But before you have such thoughts, you should recognize who you are.”
“To be precise, you should know your own weakness. Only then can you boldly forge ahead.”
“People always think they can turn the world upside down and create a great career, not realizing that they are just one among the many.”
“A Demon Cultivator can refine the mountains and rivers, while you are a common villager in the village.”
“A sage can cause the mountains to collapse with a single strike, while you are a lumberjack in the mountains.”
“A great demon can roam the waves for thousands of miles, while you are a fisherman on a single log.”
“In the heat of battle involving thousands of soldiers and horses, you are merely a passerby.”
“You have never seen yourself clearly; you don’t even have a steadfast belief.”
“When Wang Hao was famous back then, you didn’t consider why he succeeded; you thought you were born in the wrong era.”
“I’ve advised you countless times to accept your ordinariness, but you treated my words as mere wind passing by your ears.”
“You always sought shortcuts, hoping to reach the pinnacle in one step.”
“But you forgot that the path of cultivation has never been about taking a step to the sky.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng pointed to Wang Hao and added, “You only see him brimming with vitality now, but you haven’t seen what he has sacrificed.”
“The woman he loves, his bl**d relatives, the mentor who guided him… all these have been offered up as sacrifices. If you had even half his ruthlessness, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“When he fell from the position of a Heavenly Prodigy, that was his weakest moment.”
“You should have tried your utmost to k*ll him, but you didn’t. At that time, you were busy mocking him, busy showing off your laughable status.”
“You have witnessed how ruthless he can be; do you really think that just by asking him kindly, he would let you go?”
“Despair indeed brings pain, but giving someone hope only to let them despair again—such pain penetrates the bone.”
“I say this because of our past acquaintance. It’s not bad for you to be a little clearer on these matters.”
After finishing, Chen Changsheng stood up to leave.
Wang Hao, however, smiled and said to Wang Zhihao, “My dear cousin, just as you treated me back then, that’s how I will treat you now.”
“You really should listen to him; if you hadn’t provoked me, you could have died a more peaceful d*ath.”
…
Wang Zhihao’s cries of despair echoed faintly from the cave.
Potato was so scared that it lost its wits.
“L-little great sir, let’s hurry up! This person is frightening the fox!”
“Now do you understand what a Demon Cultivator is?”
“I understand!”
Potato quickly nodded, fearing that Chen Changsheng would continue lingering in this terrifying place.
“Good to know. The recipe for the Demon Clan section is almost finished.”
“Next, it will be the Beast Clan section.”
“This recipe is quite interesting; you should remember it well.”
