Chapter 669: 653 Rebellious Disciple's Great Rebellion Against Dao
Master Chi Yuan looked outside at Teng Zhao and Wang Chuan, who were seated side by side, then turned his gaze towards Qin Liuxi, his face betraying his hesitation to speak.
“What is it, just say what you want to say,” Qin Liuxi said impatiently.
“Should we conceal Wang Chuan’s life chart a bit?”
Qin Liuxi fell silent: “Do you think we should?”
“If possible, let’s conceal it for her. Who knows when chaos will erupt in this world. If those who stray from the righteous path see it, it could bring trouble,” Master Chi Yuan sighed.
A glint of vicious energy flashed in Qin Liuxi’s eyes: “I dare them to try!”
“It’s not about daring or not; it’s that one can never be too careful. You can’t literally tie her to your waist and keep her by your side at all times. Even if you could, there will always be times when you must attend to one thing and ignore another,” Master Chi Yuan said, “Having an Eight Characters Pure Yin Body, such an innate Pure Yin Fate is a great disaster if targeted.”
Qin Liuxi’s expression turned cold.
“In fact, if she had just gone like that…”
“If I had ignored it then, not a single person from that village would have remained,” Qin Liuxi looked at Wang Chuan’s silhouette and said: “Before death, she would have already turned into an evil spirit from the resentful energy, and once dead, she would lose her mind and transform into an Extreme Yin Ghost, bringing calamity upon the village’s people.”
Wang Chuan’s village, located in a low, concave area surrounded by terrain that gathered yin energy, was already harboring evil spirits. If she died, she would absorb these yin evils and become a deadly ghost, annihilating the entire village.
“Saving her is like saving a hundred lives, but saving one could also harm a hundred. Then you…”
Sometimes, he wasn’t sure if her merciful heart was right or not, alas!
“Master, between the present and the future, I choose the present, because the future still has a glimmer of hope, whereas the present does not. If she truly harms hundreds later, that’s my burden to bear,” Qin Liuxi pursed her lips, then added, “But you’re right, her life chart should be sealed, because our arch-enemy has emerged.”
Master Chi Yuan’s expression turned solemn: “You mean?”
“Chi Zhenzi, I’ve found his lair.”
Master Chi Yuan’s breathing quickened, he asked, “He’s still alive? Have you fought him?”
Qin Liuxi shook her head: “I was too late, and he escaped. But it’s definitely him, not only is he alive, but he has also taken a disciple, who I fought twice, a bit foolish. But according to that waste’s words, they are also searching for the Jiao Pearl, presumably for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Thus, his cultivation has not yet returned to its peak, at least not to Foundation Establishment.”
Master Chi Yuan’s brow furrowed, his face darker than Qin Liuxi had ever seen: “I’ve seen his Life Plate; there was a returning light, which shouldn’t be possible as he was clearly dead, his path extinguished.”
“A crafty rabbit has three burrows. He must have kept a trick up his sleeve when he fought with you, or had some fortune before his revival,” Qin Liuxi said with a trace of coldness, “And his avoidance of me is probably due to his current frail state, especially his cultivation.”
Master Chi Yuan frowned: “That’s not quite right. I know this junior brother best, he is talented in Daoist skills and hence arrogant; he’s not one to surrender without a fight.”
Qin Liuxi smiled: “That was in the past. His arrogance led him to suffer greatly at your hands. Had he not retained a trick, he would have truly vanished from existence. To not learn from such a lesson and to remain as arrogant as before would mean he is no longer a concern, for he would be too foolish.”
To fall in the same place twice—is that not foolish?
But obviously, Chi Zhenzi isn’t foolish; he learned from the lesson decades ago, preferring to lie low like a coward rather than confront directly, indicating one thing: he is aware and unsure of his current situation, and another, he can endure!
“A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years; Chi Zhenzi knows what’s most crucial for him.”
This kind of person is far more difficult to deal with than any Taiyang.
Master Chi Yuan’s face darkened: “I’ll use Da Yan Skill to divine his current location; we can’t let him keep hiding. Otherwise, giving him time to recuperate and enhance his cultivation will only make him harder to deal with.”
“You dare!” Qin Liuxi glared at him: “You already suffered a major backlash and regressed in your cultivation because of him, and your internal injuries have not healed. You dare use the Da Yan Skill again? The last time you used it at Qinglan Temple, I haven’t even settled accounts with you for that…”
Her anger flaring up, she dispensed with respectful titles.
“Ah, truly, I’m getting old, can’t sit for long; need to walk around,” Master Chi Yuan stood up, pretended to massage his waist, and tried to leave.
“Don’t think about running away. What will you do if you secretly divine?”
“And what then?”
Qin Liuxi sneered coldly: “Obviously, we’ll break up the gang, disband Qingping Temple on the spot, let everyone do as they please; I quit. I’ll strip down these golden statues and sell them, turning the Grandmaster into a bald chicken.”
Grandmaster: Clutches the gold foil on my body tightly!
Master Chi Yuan, in his anger, almost tore off a beard hair, pointing at her: “You rebellious disciple, how can you say such things, you’re utterly unfilial!”
“Sure, let lightning strike me down!” Qin Liuxi retorted sharply.
Master Chi Yuan: “!”
Raised by oneself, taught by oneself, can neither be scolded nor provoked, must stroke the fur the right way.
He forcibly squeezed out a smile, saying: “You child, you were so well-behaved as a child, how did you turn out like this?”
“Ten years of hard labor, learned the hard way.”
Master Chi Yuan coughed guiltily and said: “Alright, alright, no divining then. What should we do with that guy?”
“In the end, it’s about taking action. Now, it’s a race against time with him,” Qin Liuxi said. “I’ve destroyed one of his lairs located in the mountains in the northwest, near a small dragon vein where I’ve set up an Array. Go there and retreat for cultivation.”
“Me?”
Qin Liuxi nodded: “I’ve already secured the Jiao Pearl, and the Buddha Fruit is being guarded by that Old Fox, so I’m confident I can craft the Foundation Establishment Pill. Just focus on your cultivation and wait.”
Master Chi Yuan looked at her and said, “Girl, birth, aging, sickness, and death are all too common, there’s no such thing as Immortality, nor is it possible for someone to ascend like they did a thousand years ago; why be so attached?”
“I’m not attached. If your time really comes, just go to the Underworld and apply for a job as a Ghost Messenger, I’ll definitely help you get in through the back door. No need to be touched, a lifetime of teacher and student, you deserve it!” Qin Liuxi scoffed coldly.
Master Chi Yuan: I’ve raised a thankless wretch, even after my death, she’ll have everything arranged clear as day!
Apply for a Ghost Messenger? Why doesn’t she just remove the City God from the City God Temple and let me try being an official?
The precarious City God: These unscrupulous teacher and student, cursed be whoever encounters them!
“What is it, just say what you want to say,” Qin Liuxi said impatiently.
“Should we conceal Wang Chuan’s life chart a bit?”
Qin Liuxi fell silent: “Do you think we should?”
“If possible, let’s conceal it for her. Who knows when chaos will erupt in this world. If those who stray from the righteous path see it, it could bring trouble,” Master Chi Yuan sighed.
