Chapter 2392: This Ruthless Dao Is This Ferocious?

Regarding the father-son relationship of these two, the Elder of the Thousand Lakes Sect had long had no doubts.

So upon hearing Tianxing Lao Ren's words, that Elder of the Thousand Lakes Sect didn't think much of it.

But Tie Dan panicked, "Really going to join the sect together with him? Then he's doomed in the future."

Thinking this, Tie Dan hurriedly spoke.

"Elder, this.............."

But this time, Tianxing Lao Ren interrupted his words; seeing Tianxing Lao Ren with a face full of emotion, he said.

"Son, earlier Dad was too stubborn; you were right, Dad should listen to you."

"You you you.............."

Hearing Tianxing Lao Ren repeatedly call him 'son' with such fervor, Tie Dan was completely dumbfounded—what nonsense is this old thing spouting? Who is your son?

Now it seems the situation has reversed; earlier Tie Dan kept calling him 'dear father,' which was filial, but Tianxing Lao Ren flew into a rage.

Now it's switched—Tianxing Lao Ren keeps calling him 'son'.

Seeing Tianxing Lao Ren's smug smile, Tie Dan felt like a mute eating coptis—he had suffering he could not speak.

He couldn't possibly say that he had been lying all along, could he? He and Tianxing Lao Ren were never father and son to begin with.

He simply could not utter those words, and it was absolutely impossible for him to do so.

And Tianxing Lao Ren clearly had counted on this, so he wasn't afraid of Tie Dan exposing him.

This little brat used to happily call him 'dad' over and over, and now he's unwilling?

Heh, from now on, this brat must acknowledge him as his father, whether he likes it or not.

Not noticing the furtive eye exchange between the 'father and son', at this moment the Elder of the Thousand Lakes Sect spoke in a low voice.

"Return to the sect."

Since the dry rations are already in hand, there's no point lingering here.

Besides their Thousand Lakes Sect, many other powers' strongmen are still searching for the whereabouts of that 'father and son' pair.

Now that the dry rations are with us, we should return to the sect promptly, lest delay bring trouble.

Know that having the dry rations in hand does not mean safety; on the contrary, danger is far from over.

If other powers' people learned that the dry rations had now fallen into the hands of our Thousand Lakes Sect,

then they would become like Tianxing Lao Ren.

All major powers will surely spare no effort to hunt them down.

Don't talk about sect members not killing fellow sect members—that's nonsense.

At most, compared to killing loose cultivators, slaying sect members is a bit more troublesome.

After all, you have to guard against retaliation from their sect behind them.

But as long as the profit is big enough, these problems are actually not problems at all; they basically don't exist.

As for this batch of dry rations, there's no doubt the profit is absolutely sufficient, so when people from other powers kill, they feel no pressure whatsoever.

Moreover, the Thousand Lakes Sect, in terms of overall strength within the Immortal Realm, is far from being top-tier.

It's merely the tyrant of a mere third of an acre.

So everything still needs to be done with caution.

Soon, everyone boarded the immortal boat, including Tianxing Lao Ren.

The immortal boat immediately streaked across the sky, flying straight toward the Thousand Lakes Sect, while others had already received notice and began to withdraw.

In the cabin, because they were the 'father and son,' Tianxing Lao Ren naturally ended up sharing a room with Tie Dan.

With no Thousand Lakes Sect people around, at this moment Tianxing Lao Ren laughed and said.

"My son, why do you wear such a bitter, grudging look? Is it because you're unhappy seeing your father?"

Although he was smiling, his smile was full of cold intent, and his gaze was extremely unfriendly.

Noticing that faint chill from Tianxing Lao Ren, Tie Dan bitterly lifted his head; he was also a straightforward fellow—his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Then, with a fawning face, he spoke.

"Sir, spare my life; I have no choice, I just want to live—I never meant to harm you."

"My son, what are you doing? How could I blame you as your father? Come on, get up quickly; we still have plenty of time together as father and son, we can talk about these things slowly, no rush."

Now he also doesn't really mean to harm Tie Dan, after all, if he acted now—even just injuring this little brat—it would surely arouse suspicion from the Thousand Lakes Sect people, which would not be wise.

Moreover, since they have both entered the sect as 'father and son,' there's plenty of time ahead; there's no need to rush this.

Later he will have plenty of opportunities to gradually work on this little brat.

Thinking this, Tianxing Lao Ren approached with a face of 'kindness,' personally helped Tie Dan up, and continually spoke words of 'comfort.'

And how could Tie Dan not know the meaning behind those words? His eyes were full of bitterness, his heart like dead ash.

Given his understanding of Tianxing Lao Ren, this old thing is ruthless; his future days... probably won't be livable.

"Sir, I truly wish to take you as my father; can the past be wiped clean?"

Tie Dan asked tentatively; as long as this old geezer lets him go, Tie Dan would also be willing to truly acknowledge him as father and fulfill his filial duty.

As for that, Tianxing Lao Ren laughed and said.

"What nonsense are you spouting, my son? We are father and son, after all—blood is thicker than water. Rest assured, my son, Dad will treat you well from now on."

"I................"

Tie Dan was already desperate; Tianxing Lao Ren seemed certain not to spare him.

He hasn't entered an immortal sect—he's walked into a wolf's den.

He only felt that his future life was already bleak.

The Thousand Lakes Sect people hurriedly rushed back to the sect, while in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, Tao Qian brought this man who had just awakened from his epiphany to Ye Zhangqing's presence.

Looking at the man named Kui Xing before him, Ye Zhangqing felt a bit strange.

Only saw that in just a few days, Kui Xing's expression had also turned indifferent and cold.

Although he hadn't yet reached Tao Qian's level, compared to before he was absolutely a different person, with no trace of connection left.

You must know, Kui Xing has only Xiūliàn the Severing Emotion Dao for a few days.

According to Tao Qian's words, he now can't even reach the entry level, having merely grasped a bit of the superficial aspects of the Severing Emotion Dao.

To enter the door, he's still far off.

But in just these few days, having only grasped a bit of the superficial aspects, he could undergo such a change.

Is this Severing Emotion Dao poisonous? It's already seeped into the marrow this quickly?

Moreover, this isn't what shocked Ye Zhangqing the most; rather, this Severing Emotion Dao can, in such a short time, heal Kui Xing's injuries, even raise his cultivation somewhat, his aura becoming a bit stronger than before his injury.

This Severing Emotion Dao is indeed fierce; switching to it for just a few days yields such a great gain—isn't this a heaven‑reaching method?

While Ye Zhangqing was sizing up Kui Xing, Kui Xing also clasped his hands in salute to Ye Zhangqing; although his face was expressionless and his voice hoarse and pale, he spoke sincerely.

Thank you, young master, for imparting the Dharma, allowing Kui Xing to defy fate and change his destiny, letting Kui Xing live again; from now on, Kui Xing is willing to serve you, to go through blades and fire, to obey any command without hesitation, even to lay down his liver and brains for you.
