ALL NOVEL Chapter 77
Chapter 85: Absolute Loyalty
Liu Shunyi eventually left.
When he arrived, he was filled with murderous intent, but when he left, his face was utterly bewildered.
At this point, the Shadow Guard was in dismay over their master’s shattered persona.
Lin Wudao glanced at the Shadow Guard, chuckling softly.
“Surprised? You must be wondering why such a proud person like me suddenly backs down?”
The Shadow Guard shook his head.
“Master must have his reasons!”
Lin Wudao, seated on the ground, hugged his shoulders with both little hands.
“Ever thought about something?”
The Shadow Guard looked confused.
“What thing?”
Lin Wudao sighed.
“As long as you harbor murderous intent towards him, you must bear any harm he endures. In a way, unless he makes a scene, he just won’t die.”
The Shadow Guard didn’t quite get it.
“If what you say is true, even if he’s flamboyant, it doesn’t matter. Whoever wants to harm him will find themselves in his grasp.”
Lin Wudao looked at him as if he were an idiot.
“Do you think the cultivation world is filled with fools? Or do you believe those ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years haven’t seen even greater talents?”
“You need to understand something: no matter how outrageous one’s talent is, it’s not invincible.”
“His talent may be invincible in a sense, but there are ways to escape it.”
At this point, Lin Wudao gave an example.
“If I were still in the Transformation Realm or the Body Integration Stage, what do you think the death of a Golden Core would mean to me?”
The Shadow Guard shook his head.
“I don’t know!”
Lin Wudao explained again.
“It’s just like being gently punched. Even if he has countless people bearing the harm he endures, I could still grind him to death. And switching topics, hitting him would be akin to hitting myself.”
“Yet his talent ultimately reaches a limit. Worst case, we both perish together. But I can still be reborn through the reincarnation talent!”
The Shadow Guard still didn’t understand.
“So since you can kill him, why not…”
Lin Wudao waved his hand.
“The situation I’m describing assumes he’s an idiot.”
“But he’s not. A person like that can reach immeasurable heights in the future. Since I can’t defeat him, it’s better to join him early.”
The Shadow Guard nodded, but he still felt uneasy, hesitantly asking, “So if we’re not loyal, will the living King of Hell have our lives in his grasp too?”
Lin Wudao suddenly went blank.
Then he shared a silent glance with the Shadow Guard.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Wudao finally broke the silence.
“How about we remain loyal for now?”
The Shadow Guard nodded.
……
……
Liu Shunyi found another spot to hide his figure.
For the moment, he didn’t dwell much on Lin Wudao.
Taking Lin Wudao in was primarily due to his intelligence-gathering abilities.
And one more thing.
Lin Wudao was absolutely loyal.
He even vaguely understood that no matter the reason, anything harmful towards Liu Shunyi would put the life and death in his control.
Thus.
Liu Shunyi felt even more reassured about Lin Wudao.
However.
Liu Shunyi didn’t just make a run for it right away.
He secretly observed Lin Wudao for a bit.
As for Lin Wudao’s later theories, Liu Shunyi took a deep breath.
Because Lin Wudao was exactly right about his deductions.
Moreover, his methods against Liu Shunyi were quite precise.
He was correct; Liu Shunyi wouldn’t die easily.
The more Liu Shunyi thought about it, the more he wanted to boost his own strength.
Settling into meditation, Liu Shunyi mused.
“I’ll leave the Heavenly God Sect for now; it might prove useful inside the secret realm!”
Then, Liu Shunyi glanced at the other names listed.
“However, since the Heavenly Extreme Sacred Ground has mingled with the Heavenly God Sect, what if something goes awry there? And I have the Blood Demon Scripture, isn’t that just their technique?”
Thinking this over, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but break into laughter.
He flipped a page to reveal Tang Xiaoren’s name.
Then, the Blood Demon Scripture activated.
His flesh, soul, and lifespan all transformed into his own spiritual energy.
……
……
At the Heavenly God Sect’s headquarters.
Tang Xiaoren had just managed to repair his hardware.
Unable to resist, he started playing poker with Abe Luoxue.
Gradually, however, Tang Xiaoren began to feel something was off.
“My blood essence, my soul, my lifespan are all draining away!”
“Damn it, you little vixen!”
Tang Xiaoren realized this was indeed the Blood Demon Scripture.
That shameless woman dared to use the Blood Demon Scripture on him?
Fuming, Tang Xiaoren gave Abe Luoxue a slap that sent her flying.
“Ah!~”
Abe Luoxue was left dazed.
“Master, what’s the meaning of this?”
But soon, in horror, Abe Luoxue discovered:
Tang Xiaoren’s hair was turning white.
His body was aging as well.
Even his magical power was dwindling.
“Vixen, what have you done to me? You better stop right now!”
Abe Luoxue panicked.
“No, Master, I didn’t do anything!”
Tang Xiaoren’s anger flared.
“Do you take me for a fool? This is clearly the Blood Demon Scripture!”
Little Master, there’s more to this chapter, please flip to the next page to continue reading; it gets even better!
Abe Luoxue was in shock.
Suddenly, something clicked in her mind.
“This—this is only operable by Shi Changxin!”
Tang Xiaoren, suddenly weak, collapsed to the ground.
“I don’t care who’s using the Blood Demon Scripture, but stop it now!”
Abe Luoxue was close to tears.
“Master, we have no idea where Shi Changxin is right now. Just hold on a little longer; I’ll send someone to find him.”
But as soon as she spoke, the anomaly surrounding Tang Xiaoren completely halted.
Tang Xiaoren quickly produced a pill and swallowed it.
Before long, he was restored.
Once he recovered, Tang Xiaoren extended his hand.
His true essence grasp hoisted Abe Luoxue up.
“Where’s that Shi Changxin?”
Abe Luoxue, in undeniable pain, replied with difficulty.
“He arrived here quite a while ago, Master. I’ll have someone look for him right now.”
Tang Xiaoren’s eyes turned icy.
“I want him alive. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me will understand that sometimes, living is also a form of suffering.”
But just then, that familiar pain struck once more.
Tang Xiaoren’s appearance began to age again.
His breath became unstable.
“Go, find that person immediately! If you can’t, I won’t hesitate to wipe out your Heavenly God Sect!”
Abe Luoxue was completely taken aback this time.
“Wait a moment, Master, I’ll search right away.”
Then Abe Luoxue hurriedly fled.
But after she left, Zhao Gou’s figure reappeared.
Tang Xiaoren fixed a dark glare on Zhao Gou.
“You dare to show your face again?”
Zhao Gou chuckled lightly.
“You might not remember me, but I have a strong impression of you.”
Tang Xiaoren quickly entered meditation.
Stabilizing his current condition.
Then Zhao Gou remarked.
“Three hundred years ago, you made a mistake and placed the blame on my Zhao family, leading to their annihilation. I had long given up my hatred because I knew I couldn’t take revenge.”
“But I never expected to grow to this point so inexplicably.”
