Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 542: Evil People Are Tormented by Other Evil People (2)

"Hmph! Didn’t you receive the true teachings from the Immortal? Make some more!"

Old Li flexed his wrist and lifted the gaunt old man, "It’s all your fault! You pretend to be mystical, oppress the common people, and abduct women, committing too many heinous deeds. That’s why the Immortal doesn’t trust me and refused to pass down Magic to me!"

Zheng Lang was in a panic, both angry and desperate, waving his bony arms in struggle, "I’ll fight you! Where are the followers of the Spiritual Sect? Spiritual Sect... Quickly protect the Sect Leader!"

Just as he shouted the first phrase, Old Li punched him solidly in the stomach, causing him to gasp and shout intermittently in pain.

If those men carrying the sedan chair hear the commotion and come, they could easily subdue Old Li, at least he won’t be able to beat him to death!

However, when Zheng Lang entered the Celestial Sword Sect, he only thought of gaining fame and wanted to save time using the paper crane, so he hurriedly forgot to instruct the followers to wait here.

Those followers who couldn’t enter the Immortal Sect to feast their eyes had already carried the empty sedan chair down the mountain and couldn’t hear his plea for help.

"You’ve been exposed by the Immortal, faking divinity and deceiving followers, yet you have the nerve to call for people? Aren’t you afraid you’ll die even faster?" Old Li was now full of confidence, the old man couldn’t fly without the paper crane, but he still had the divine bird to help!

"You promised well, you received Magic from me, but in the end, you broke your word and ran away!" Old Li punched him with fury, "The Immortal taught you Magic to accumulate virtue and do good, but you committed countless evil deeds! It’s all your fault I couldn’t learn the Magic, it’s all your fault! The divine bird didn’t recognize its master, and that’s your fault too!"

Zheng Lang was already weak due to committing evil and losing Yin Virtue, and now being beaten, he became disoriented with his cries for help much fainter.

Others saw paper cranes and flames and dared not provoke, hiding far away and whispering.

"You better listen to me carefully, from now on obediently teach me the Magic the Immortal passed onto you, otherwise I’ll make you unable to seek life or death!" Old Li’s demand has always been to learn the Extraordinary art, and now that his hopes with the Immortal were dashed, naturally he turned his attention to the old man.

In this case, he couldn’t let him contact the followers for any chance of flipping the situation!

Taking off the old man’s belt and tying him up tightly, Old Li easily carried him on his shoulder, striding down the mountain.

Arriving at the inn, he fetched his horse and stuffed Zheng Lang into a sack tied on horseback, he then looked at the little bird and asked: "I don’t want to go back to East Lake Port to serve anymore, working myself to death and not earning enough money.

I was ignorant, having never seen the world, now that I’ve seen the real scene, I also want to pursue the Immortal path. The Immortal refuses to accept us, I have to think of a way myself; this old guy must teach me the true teachings day after day until I master the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill.

Divine bird, what’s the point of recognizing no master and returning to East Lake Port? Why not join me in pursuing the cultivation path, even if there’s no opportunity here, perhaps we can find a way to cultivate immortality elsewhere!"

The little bird fluttered its wings and flew from his shoulder to a branch, shaking its head, "Go back! The little master says, go back!"

It couldn’t articulate fully, but it knew very well in its heart.

Since the little master said it has a master and duties, the first step is to end well with the current master if seeking the little master for a master.

Then, when East Lake Port no longer needs its warning, becoming truly free without needing to sneak away, it can search for him, perhaps it can succeed!

"What good does going back do? Do you think because others call you a divine bird, they truly regard you as an Immortal? At night, aren’t they afraid you’ll escape, locking you in a cage that even flames can’t break?" Old Li, unwilling to lose such a powerful helper pretending to be mighty, bitterly persuaded, "Even the county magistrate guards against you, instead of dedicating yourself to a thankless effort, why not join me in seeking the Immortal path?"

The little bird shook its head, chirping melodiously, "Goodbye! Old Li! I’m going back!"

With that, it flapped its wings and flew to East Lake Port a thousand miles away.

Unable to persuade and incapable of keeping the divine bird, Old Li could only watch that vivid color fade into the horizon. He tapped the sack with Zheng Lang’s securely stuffed mouth with the whip, coldly snorting: "Now I have no divine bird, if you know what’s good for you, just honestly don’t provoke me, otherwise there’ll be suffering for you!"

Pausing for a moment, he sneered and added, "Old Zheng, you’ve served before, you know our village soldiers’ methods of extorting confessions by torture, right? If you don’t want to suffer, think carefully about what to do."

"Snap!"

After saying this, he spurred the horse’s belly and swung the whip to crack loudly, carrying the bulging sack onto the main road.

Yesterday, surrounded by luxurious clothing and young beautiful girls, Zheng Lang felt as if he was living a rich dream inside the sack, bouncing along, it suddenly felt like awakening from a fleeting and colorful dream.

From receiving teachings from the Immortal to today, the short and brilliant dream suddenly ended, and he was terrified of the upcoming fate.

Old Li wanted to learn the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill, but he himself couldn’t do it well! The crafted paper ox couldn’t even carry a person, how could he teach him?

Adding to that the previous deception which broke trust, even if he swore to the heavens now, Old Li wouldn’t believe it, only thinking he was unwilling to impart skills, then...

He recalled the torture devices in the county government office prison, remembering Old Li’s gritted teeth while using them, regretful Zheng Lang could only whimper softly, "Immortal, I know I’m wrong! Save me!"

Not to mention Jiang Yuan couldn’t hear his plea for help, even if he did, he wouldn’t bother with a wicked villain, whatever one sows, one reaps!

He sat in the corner of the main hall, leisurely sipping tea, awaiting the Fox Immortal Sect Leader’s return to discuss the ownership issue of Eagle Fifty-Third.

Just entering the main hall, only to find out the Lu father and son from the Fox Immortal Sect were invited to the side room by the Patriarch of the Duanmu, talking business, not emerging for a while, Jiang Yuan could only patiently wait.

About another cup of tea’s time, the side room door opened, and three emerged laughing.

[Lu Erxi: Fox Immortal Sect Leader, a mortal incapable of cultivation. Lured by the Green-eyed Fox Race on the floating continent in the void, established the Fox Immortal Sect to receive ’transmission’, actually the Green-eyed Fox Race’s possession method.

Each time the Divine Soul intersects, part of the human soul is exchanged and replaced by the Green-eyed Fox Race demon cultivator’s Divine Soul, until completely swapped after eighty-one exchanges. The Green-eyed Fox demon cultivator successfully possesses and lives through the human body; Fox Immortal Sect disciples’ souls will be exchanged into the void’s floating continent]

[Lu Shaojie: Fox Immortal Sect Young Sect Leader, a mortal incapable of cultivation. Due to being young, vigorous, and pure spirituality, the possession speed is fastest, and because one-third of his Divine Soul from the Green-eyed Fox Race demon cultivator requires spiritual nourishment, but lacking items filled with spiritual energy, manifested as gluttony...]

Walt?!

Jiang Yuan first saw a strange scene—among the three, the father and son looked extremely similar, seemingly enveloped in a special effect, with the left body occasionally struggling out a white mist-like soul, seemingly very uncomfortable, while the right body showed pale green, steadily occupying the body, seemingly wanting to push out the soul belonging to the original owner.

Then he saw the system’s details pop up.

"Oh! This is the passive skill—Fire Eyes Golden Gaze!" Jiang Yuan realized later, having asked Xiao Bai about it after encountering Liu Qiang splitting his Divine Soul in reality, who then imparted a small Magic that could see through mortal Divine Souls.

Then, not encountering anyone like Liu Qiang in reality, and almost not interacting with mortals on the Wilderness World side, hence never using it, discovering its peculiarity then realized "Fire Eyes Golden Gaze" really worked wonders!
