Chapter 889: Chapter 888: Unwilling to Be Lonely
Underneath, chaos erupted; no one expected someone to dare commit murder in broad daylight, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
Only the Thunder Whip from the central stone tower of Sizhou Island could be heard and lashed swiftly after the murderer! But it was met with a burst of laughter!
...The solitary chill of the sword immortal from the suspended island, dressed in plain robes with disheveled hair, lightly flicking the sword edge. Wishing to hold the Underground Reincarnation Record, blessing Heng River for millions of years!
And now, pursuing them further, how could it be possible?
No one genuinely wanted to pursue them either, chasing such a killer into the depths of the Cloud Sea? Is life really that precious?
As for who the killer was, while no one reacted to the Flying Sword, the appearance was seen clearly, especially for the anchor chain cultivators of the host family, Tu Gongwang and others were deeply impressed.
The last phrase ’Jinxiu welcomes you,’ amidst respectful politeness, inexorably made people gasp.
Originally thought to be going to Jinxiu to act domineeringly, to lead the way, but now it seems he might be going to storm the Dragon’s Den, with life and death uncertain?
Huang Yun Daoist’s face grew angry, made a gesture to rise, but Fairy Fei Bai appropriately swung the horsetail whisk to press him down, "Brother Dao, do not act recklessly, we cannot interfere in personal vendettas."
Huang Yun Daoist sat down with reluctance, still showing discontentment, "In a different environment, without this vexing Thunder Whip, I would make that madman pay the price!"
The anchor chain cultivators and a few prison leaders around were not fools either, saw clearly, secretly despising the insincere gestures of Huang Yun Daoist, yet had to perfunctorily go along verbally. This is the way of interaction; see through it but do not expose it, otherwise, it’s impossible to remain friends.
"The one who goes against the laws will inevitably meet their own demise, Brother Dao, why concern yourself?"
Only then did Huang Yun Daoist’s expression slightly improve, "Who is this person? So brutal? Killing upon disagreement? He hasn’t even spoken yet, could it be longstanding grievances?"
Cannot blame him for being ignorant, as those like him who came later were basically unaware of the details when the twelve Upper Envoys descended on Jinxiu. Hou Niao wouldn’t speak, and others wouldn’t blabber either, and it’s not something to be proud of.
Generally speaking, Hou Niao has been fairly honest in recent decades, one reason being that there are too many formidable figures in the Upper Realm, another being the intensive sword training is keeping him in check with a senior sister’s supervision, truly not allowed to step off the island, with no knowledge of the outside world, and the outside world has no impression of his existence.
Tu Gongwang sneered, "This person’s background on Hell Star is rather special, a native of Jinxiu brought out after failing the first batch of outsider storms there, from the Sword Sect; in recent decades we rarely saw him flaunting, I’m just curious how he has personal grievances with Daoist Xia? Or is it targeted at our group?"
Huang Yun Daoist casually said, "Oh, Sword Sect and Heng River have ancient grudges, it dates back thousands of years, even now it’s unclear."
He truly understood a bit of the underlying reason, but it’s just the superficial; the true facts of cultivation history are often shrouded in layers of mist, until you reach that level you won’t encounter it, let alone him as a mere Golden Core, even the Nascent Soul Masters cannot access the real secrets of the Cultivation World.
But this Sharma was indeed brought by him, so he could follow to act;
Heng River Realm is an already declining domain, the Daoist is peculiar, once oppressed by the mainstream Daoist of the universe, breaking its backbone, since then embarking on a long road of recovery dormancy, this period has lasted so long many people have forgotten it.
Chaotic Star Cloud hasn’t forgotten, but also has no good intentions, just wanting to pull a compliant helper, thus under the operation of Chaotic Star Cloud, the certain Daoist of Heng River Realm seeking revival was perfectly matched, resulting in Sharma’s presence here.
Heng River Daoist is very bizarre, Huang Yun Daoist personally tried, he was no lesser opponent, yet under the thunderous strike of the Sword Cultivators completely lost its past prestige, becoming frail and vulnerable?
The intricacies in this are too many, he didn’t wish to participate further, only remembered this account to possibly settle with this Sword Cultivator in the future.
His affiliated Daoist paid a considerable price to bring Sharma to Hell Star as his assistant, unexpectedly, now he was just gone?
Meanwhile, Tu Gongwang secretly communicated with Fairy Shui, "Junior Sister Shui, what exactly does Hou Niao mean? Is he still harboring resentment from our visit decades ago?"
Fairy Shui apologetically said, "Sorry Senior Brother, I haven’t seen him for twenty years, who knows what has happened recently? Perhaps, it is related to the appearance of Medicine King Furnace?"
What relation could it have, Tu Gongwang cannot fathom despite racking his brains, but the situation as it stands, overthinking is futile, it appears they would have to interact more with this Sword Cultivator in the future, after all, currently on Hell Star, he is the sole native of Jinxiu.
A perfectly good gathering has now become a situation where everyone harbors their own thoughts, embarrassingly so; a member was slain publicly, yet no one could come up with a strategy, not even able to join forces, what effect could such a united front achieve in the future, everyone would inevitably ponder and doubt.
Tu Gongwang and others exchanged looks, feeling helpless, with no immediate solution, but the accumulated resentment towards this Jinxiu Sword Cultivator deepened, being from the same part of the universe, how could they become so disagreeable?
This gathering, with a muddled conclusion, was an inevitable result; if Hou Niao hadn’t abruptly killed someone, there would have been other reasons, it’s just a matter of timing; the critical point is the collaboration foundation is too fragile, each has their own agenda, with no unified philosophy.
On Hell Star, among the dozens of islands there are numerous such so-called alliances, essentially with the same weak foundation, hence the eventual result; this is why the true Upper Realm visitors show no enthusiasm.
In the Cultivation World, a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold has become analogous to foolishness, partnering with these people yields what exactly?
A few prison leaders shook their heads and left, it seems inviting these people again might be impossible in the future; Huang Yun Daoist and Fairy Fei Bai walked together, yet it’s unclear what they are truly thinking?
Leaving only the host anchor chain cultivators, staring blankly at the magnificent wine feast spread across dozens of boulders, one cultivator couldn’t bear the sight, casually swung, scattering the food all over, but following closely, several flashes of Thunder Whip lashed down from the sky, striking that cultivator staggering.
This is the lowest punishment on Hell Star, named environmental destruction!
A mess all over.
Tu Gongwang arrived beside Fairy Shui, sighed, "Junior Sister, you’ve seen it, the situation of the anchor chain star system on Hell Star is difficult, not only do those upper realm, outside visitors look down on us, even Jinxiu’s never been out of the universe bumpkins look down on us, going to Jinxiu like this, what mission could be talked about, surviving would be fortunate."
Fairy Shui felt disgusted inside but had to verbally be perfunctory, "Senior Brother’s intention?"
Tu Gongwang articulated each word, "You go beside Hou Niao, come to us less frequently, if there’s a real need we will find you."
Fairy Shui was speechless, "Senior Brother, you intend for me to gain his trust, lurk by his side, ready to betray at any time?"
