Chapter 140 Wu Nian (Second Update)
Yi Qiuxin is a ruthless person, and his son Yi Hui is also a ruthless person.
He stole the fragments of the Daoist method that Yi Qiuxin had hidden, and then launched a surprise attack when Yi Qiuxin was unprepared, directly crippling his limbs before cooking him.
The whole process was smooth and efficient, as if it had been rehearsed many times.
Yi Qiuxin is not dead yet, because Yi Hui wants to amplify his resentment, which will allow him to make greater progress in his cultivation.
"After killing you, I will go and kill Gu Pingtao, so that you and your disciple can reunite underground."
Yi Hui said with a terrifying smile, "You like him the most, don't you? Unfortunately, why isn't he your son?"
Yi Qiuxin finally understood that his son has been harboring resentment towards Gu Pingtao for a long time, which is why things have come to this point.
He hurriedly explained, "You are my true son. I was just pretending to care about him. No matter how capable he is, I will definitely pass on the position of the Talisman Treasure Sect to you in the future."
In a dark corner, Gu Pingtao heard this and couldn't help but sneer.
He knew that his master was a heartless and unfaithful person. He treated him better than his own son on a daily basis, but Gu Pingtao was not a fool, and he was well aware of it.
If a person doesn't even love their own son, how could they love someone else's child?
Everyone has selfishness.
If a person appears to have no selfishness at all, it's not that they don't have any, but that they have hidden it all away.
Gu Pingtao has always been vigilant, worried that one day he would be plotted against by Yi Qiuxin. So after the upheaval on the island, he thought about gathering a group of junior disciples and seeking his own development.
By doing so, he still had a chance to rise.
However, as soon as he returned to the mountain, Yi Qiuxin targeted him and deliberately assigned him tasks that prevented him from leaving the mountain alone.
After that, the granary caught fire, and the Talisman Treasure Sect couldn't find the culprit. It was absurd that such a big incident was left unresolved.
It is indeed difficult to find the person responsible without evidence, but can't this kind of thing be deduced?
Everyone was trapped on the island, so it was unrealistic to say that there was a mole intentionally causing destruction.
Would a mole seek death like this?
The only possibility is that this person doesn't want to live and wants to drag others down with them.
There aren't many crazy people like this in the Talisman Treasure Sect, and the one with the highest suspicion is Yi Hui.
However, despite this obvious train of thought, no one in the entire Talisman Treasure Sect has brought it up, and Gu Pingtao doesn't know if they are stupid or if they are intimidated by Yi Qiuxin and dare not speak up.
Gu Pingtao couldn't swallow this anger, so he started secretly keeping an eye on Yi Hui. After watching for so long, Yi Hui finally took action.
And his actions were shocking, as he actually attacked Yi Qiuxin, who had always protected him.
Gu Pingtao saw it all and couldn't help but find it amusing.
The spectacle of dogs biting each other is truly entertaining.
However, he didn't dare to underestimate the threat from Yi Hui. This ruthless person even wants to kill his own father, and he also harbors deep hatred towards Gu Pingtao.
Once Yi Qiuxin is dealt with, Yi Hui will definitely come to kill him.
Since that's the case, he had no choice but to make the first move.
Gu Pingtao was waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, and everyone watching this scene in the Dragon River Valley held their breath unconsciously.
It must be said that this scene from the Talisman Treasure Sect truly revealed the darkest side of human nature.
Three people, three identities, father and son, master and disciple, fellow disciples.
All of this, in the face of survival and desire, meant nothing.
Each of the three had their own despicable qualities.
Yi Qiuxin schemed against his junior brother, treating him as a tool. When his junior brother had the chance to save him, he didn't intervene. Yi Hui was jealous and completely ungrateful.
Who knows what kind of sparks will fly in this play involving these three ruthless individuals.
The current protagonist is naturally Yi Hui.
He completely ignored Yi Qiuxin's transformation from anger to defense to begging for mercy, focusing solely on stoking the fire and expressing his inner resentment.
"Child, I promise you, I will immediately go and kill Gu Pingtao for you, as long as you let me go!"
"No need, with power, I can kill him myself. At that time, everything will be mine, and I won't have to consider anyone's face anymore. No one will say that I can't do it without you."
"No one says such things, no one, save me, it's so hot..."
Yi Qiuxin begged desperately, but it only pleased Yi Hui even more.
He smiled triumphantly, took out a small knife, and was about to attack Yi Qiuxin.
At this moment, Gu Pingtao, who had been waiting for a long time, seized this fleeting opportunity and launched a silent ambush from behind.
He used a metal-based spell to strengthen the blade in his hand to the limit.
Metal-based spells were the most stable and difficult to release externally, and they also made the least noise. Gu Pingtao had prepared for a long time, but his action only took a moment.
Yi Hui felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw a blade.
"If you want to defeat me, find another chance in your next life!"
Gu Pingtao pulled out the knife and stabbed again, and Yi Hui spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it into the pot.
"No, I haven't lost yet."
Despite suffering a fatal injury, Yi Hui seemed to have a last burst of energy and let out a hoarse shout.
"I haven't lost yet! Lord Wu Nian, Lord Wu Nian!"
Seeing Yi Hui's frantic shouting, Gu Pingtao suddenly felt uneasy.
He quickly took a few steps back and leaned against a pillar, assuming a defensive posture.
He couldn't see anyone at all, but Yi Hui spoke again.
"Lord Wu Nian, kill him for me."
Yi Hui's perspective was naturally different from Gu Pingtao's.
In his eyes, an evil spirit with wings on its back was floating in front of him.
The face of the evil spirit was split in half, one side black, hideous and ugly, the other side white, holy and pure.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Such merciless words filled Yi Hui's eyes with shock.
"Master, you promised that if I helped you, you would help me too!"
"Have you ever heard of speaking nonsense? You know I am a ghost, yet you believe in my promises, so foolishly. I don't expect you to help me with anything anymore."
These heartless words instantly made Yi Hui sober.
Yi Hui was not a fool, how could he not know that he couldn't trust the words of a ghost? But many times, he was deceiving himself.
His inner obsession was too deep, he wanted to seek revenge on the whole world.
The only thing he could rely on was the power of the ghost.
He had done many things for Wu Nian, destroying the food on the island was the most important.
If it weren't for him, many people on the island could have survived for another hundred days.
And now, he had been ruthlessly abandoned.
"Wu Nian, if you dare to deceive me, are you not afraid that I will reveal all your secrets?"
Yi Hui was already holding his breath, trying to coerce Wu Nian into helping him.
Wu Nian coldly said, "When you call out my name, people outside cannot see everything here. Who else can you tell?"
Yi Hui's face became even uglier, his resentment turning his eyes bloodshot.
But, he was just a dying ghost, what else could he do?
"You will regret it! I'll be waiting for you in hell!"
Gu Pingtao watched as Yi Hui went mad on his own and died, his scalp couldn't help but tingle.
From the looks of it, he was indeed having a conversation with someone.
The unknown is what makes people fearful.
Gu Pingtao couldn't see anything, he was extremely afraid and wanted to escape, but he also wanted to obtain the wealth left behind by Yi Hui.
"Do you want to see me?"
Gu Pingtao heard a faint voice in his ears, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Do you want to become the ultimate winner? I can help you..."
This voice carried a hint of temptation, but Gu Pingtao thought of Yi Hui's miserable state and quickly bit his tongue to regain his clarity.
He didn't even dare to respond, he turned around and ran.
Wu Nian watched as Gu Pingtao left, but didn't chase after him.
The overall situation had been set, his thoughts had been awakened, and the projection had descended into the world, planting countless evil thoughts.
However... these evil thoughts of sentient beings were still a bit short of opening the gates of the netherworld.
If the door couldn't be kicked open, it meant it didn't meet the standard.
And the reason it didn't meet expectations was simple.
There were still people on this island with a conscience, so the viewers would always retain a last bit of goodwill.
As long as he found that person, killed him, or waited for him to also fall, everything would naturally fall into place.
But he had just awakened and didn't have enough power to act, so he needed to find an obedient puppet.
Without Gu Pingtao, there would be another person.
As long as human desires remained, he would definitely find a suitable tool.
This wait didn't last long.
About half an hour later, a Daoist figure sneaked into Yi Qiuxin's residence. This person was none other than Elder Changfeng.
Seeing the father and son dead, he was also surprised, but quickly became enlightened.
Fragments, cultivation, he had arrived...
Wu Nian quietly watched him, his smile becoming even more sinister and eerie...
"There are more and more ghosts in the city, and they are becoming more powerful."
In the Spirit Communication City, Zhang Chi killed a green-eyed ghost with one sword, his face heavy.
"I wonder if there are any survivors in this city."
Such a compassionate posture was, of course, just an act.
He was actually ecstatic.
Every time he killed a ghost, the purple halo on the small ball would shrink a bit, and a portion of the ghost energy would flow into the halo. The denser the halo, the faster the rotation and breathing frequency of the small ball.
What was this called?
An accelerator for cultivation?
Zhang Chi realized that this was the effect of plundering the halo from the Body of the First Star.
Killing ghosts could accelerate the efficiency.
If killing one ghost increased it by 0.1%, killing a hundred would be ten percent, killing a thousand would be one hundred percent.
Originally, Zhang Chi's cultivation speed was already four or five times faster than others because of the Innate Breathing Technique. If it doubled on top of that, it would be ten times the cultivation speed.
Moreover, Zhang Chi didn't know the upper limit of the strengthened purple halo, perhaps it could be even more.
Unfortunately, the current halo was too weak, and Zhang Chi couldn't fully absorb the scattered ghost energy each time.
When he first experimented, he only succeeded halfway. If he tried a few more times, the absorption speed should be faster.
But... he was currently live streaming, so he couldn't go and experiment.
He would immediately experiment after leaving!
The next chapter is a complete four thousand words, and today's ten thousand word task is completed.
