As for the parts that aren't immediately apparent, there are likely still many tricks up their sleeves.
No wonder that swordsman trusted you so much.
[So he wasn't afraid of you having any ulterior motives at all.]
As agreed, the other party returned before dawn.
His once clean clothes were now stained with blood, and his kind face had taken on a sinister air.
The other party made a hand seal, swept their whisk across their heart, and then approached.
You say that you have been here for several days and should go elsewhere, so we shall part ways here.
The other person nodded, confirming that they felt the same way.
But the other party said a few more words.
Good and evil reside in the heart and in actions, not in the methods employed.
All the myriad paths in the world lead to the same destination.
Those demonic cultivators with truly sincere hearts are rare in this world, but they absolutely exist.
Although you are a demonic cultivator, your actions are no different from those of the righteous path.
Even most disciples from other sects are far inferior to you in their actions.
[So this sword cultivator saw through your true nature the moment you took advantage of the chaos to collect souls.]
You only claim it's for the sake of those demonic cultivators' souls; everything else is just a facade.
The devil is ultimately the devil; he cannot compare to the righteous path.
The swordsman simply smiled and said something to you that you'll never forget.
Good and evil are separated by a single thought. Who says that righteous sects are necessarily more benevolent than demonic cultivators?
You wanted to say something more, but were told to leave.
You find the other party's actions strange, but with the mission deadline fast approaching, you need to collect another hundred souls to complete the task, so you have no choice but to leave.
……
"Master, didn't we just arrive?"
Why are you leaving already?
Where's the doctor next door?
When Lu Yuan got out of bed, it was just getting light. In his drowsy state, he saw his master packing his luggage.
"He cured all the diseases in Lin'an Village, and there is no shortage of the necessary businesses here."
He left before us.
"Oh, where do we go next?"
"Go to the big city."
"Huh?" Lu Yuan suddenly perked up. "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"The last time I went to Dacheng was half a year ago."
"You won't lie to me again this time, will you? You'll just stroll around outside the city gates and leave."
Lu Yuan counted on his fingers and realized that he had spent most of the past six months away from home, only returning to the small town a few times to rest and recuperate.
"This time, we'll stay for at least half a month."
"Really?"
"real."
"Master!
It's so kind of you!
But... Master, you didn't offend those demonic sects, did you?"
Lu Yuan has a naturally keen intuition, and having been tricked many times, he has naturally gained experience.
"hey-hey."
"Oh no! Master, hurry up and take me away on your sword!"
……
The incident in Lin'an Village did not cause the ripples you had anticipated.
[Just as you were pondering how to rethink your strategy, you suddenly received a message.]
[Apart from Liangren Valley, several other demonic sects were all breached overnight by the same swordsman.]
[As it happened, none of the sect leaders of the demonic sects were in their own sects, allowing the attacker to enter as if his territory were empty.]
The swordsman seemed to be searching for something, and in doing so, he killed quite a few people. He then swaggered away before dawn.
Such humiliation cannot be tolerated by the Demonic Sect.
At this very moment, several members of the Demonic Sect are on many of the nearby mountains.
If I don't swallow this anger, I'll probably be laughed at for years to come.
Only now do you finally know where the sword cultivator went that night.
You are impressed by the other party's boldness and surprised by their strength, but you are even more grateful for their disruption, which has spread like wildfire, making everyone on the same path.
Just kill them!
[After you returned to Liangren Valley, the Valley Master suddenly issued an order that all disciples, except for the new disciples, should leave the valley with him.]
You have some suspicions, but cannot confirm them, so you can only stay in the valley to improve your Blood Refining Technique.
"It's all cultivation?"
Let's just skip it and leave it running.
[For a whole month, with the blessing of those souls, your strength has advanced further, reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining.]
Even among demonic cultivators, this pace is considered remarkably fast.
The Valley Master and his fellow disciples have not yet returned, but there are scattered rumors that a fierce battle is raging in the major city beyond the mountains.
Righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators, and even demons have all gathered here.
They seem to be fighting over some resource...
Chapter 54 Personal Disciple
[As newcomers to the valley, most of you are only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. Your cultivation level is too low; in that environment, you're not even cannon fodder. You can only wait in Liangren Valley.]
When you saw the Valley Master again, another month had passed.
Of all the senior brothers who were taken away, only three have returned.
The whereabouts of the rest are unknown.
However, the auras of all three senior brothers seemed to have increased considerably.
The vacancies left by the deaths of our senior brothers need to be filled.
After all, each position represents a significant amount of resources.
To secure the most resources, you must be able to gain the respect of the masses.
Thus, a fierce battle will unfold among you newcomers.
You've noticed someone has started contacting your senior classmate privately.
【Your choice:】
1. Choose a senior brother to serve.
2. Choose a Valley Master.
3. Join forces with others.
4. Relying solely on oneself.
[5. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: 3]
"I'd rather not seek refuge with my senior brother. Of the three who are still alive, one is skilled in puppet curses, one is berserk and bloodthirsty, and the other is sinister. None of them seem quite right."
Let's try selecting a valley master first.
You wished to pay your respects to the Valley Master, but your senior brother stopped you.
You have no choice but to find another way.
That night, you quietly approached the Valley Master's room, only to see a flash of blue light.
[You are dead. 】
"Is it protected by an array?"
But that scene didn't seem to be a formation.
Did he see something he shouldn't have?
Su Chen frowned, then reloaded the save and selected option 2 again.
This time, his view went completely black, and he could see what was under the fluorescent light earlier.
Soul beads!
There are only two ways to obtain the Soul Orb.
Either the individual soul is powerful enough, or there is a way to remove impurities from the soul and bring multiple souls together.
"Such a pure soul bead?"
A spirit tower?
Su Chen had only ever seen such a pure color in the background descriptions of games.
