Chapter 211: Master, You Are Very Biased!

The old man in the duckbill cap's voice sounded as if he were speaking to the air.

Everyone in the noodle shop felt a sense of threat.

A feeling of intense pressure descended.

The crowd exchanged glances, and immediately, many people left.

The burly man grabbed Fang Yuan's arm: "Let's get out of here quickly too!"

If what that old man said was true, a great battle might break out here at any moment.

"No!" Fang Yuan's eyes were fixed firmly on the parcel on the old man's table.

The parcel was opened slightly, and inside were traces of some white petals.

The burly man looked over and immediately recognized what was inside the parcel.

"So many... Jade Flowers!"

The parcel was bulging, and it was clearly filled with Jade Flowers.

Jade Flowers were the only life-saving flowers to resolve the situation for Senior Sister Dingdang; how could Fang Yuan miss this?

At this moment, a terrifying aura was spreading throughout the entire noodle shop.

Fang Yuan also felt immense pressure.

Finally, he gritted his teeth: "Let's leave first."

He and the burly man hurried toward the exit to avoid being caught in the battle about to take place inside.

But the next moment, Fang Yuan was shocked to feel that his body could not move.

The burly man also felt as if his legs had been filled with heavy lead, unable to escape.

An aged voice came through.

"Do you want Jade Flowers too?" The old man in the duckbill cap looked at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan immediately understood that his inability to move was the handiwork of this old man in the duckbill cap.

At this moment, he regretted immensely why he had revealed his longing for the Jade Flowers just now.

"... Y-yes, Senior." Fang Yuan could only nod.

Lies have no effect in the face of a massive gap in strength.

"There are seventy-eight Jade Flowers in the entire wasteland, and they are all in my hands now."

The old man in the duckbill cap spoke.

"Originally, I thought about collecting all the Jade Flowers to give to the Charming Ghost King of the Ghost Domain as..."

Of course, this was just done at will.

His purpose in collecting the Jade Flowers was only to expose a flaw and force his master to make a move.

Unfortunately, his master had been lurking nearby the whole time and still hadn't made a move.

"If you want a Jade Flower, I can give you one." The old man in the duckbill cap wore a kindly smile on his face.

Fang Yuan, however, felt a chill in his heart.

The Jade Flowers in the wasteland had all been picked by this senior before him?

Hearing the words of the old man in the duckbill cap, Fang Yuan felt no joy, but instead felt a sense of worry.

"However, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

If you want me to give you a Jade Flower, you need to satisfy one condition for me."

"What condition?" Fang Yuan asked through gritted teeth.

"Kill the companion beside you." The old man in the duckbill cap wore a smile on his face.

"He is unable to move right now, so you can kill him very easily.

As long as you kill him, you can obtain a Jade Flower."

The old man in the duckbill cap had a playful smile on his face.

Fang Yuan's expression changed drastically.

A look of vigilance appeared on the burly man's face.

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't get a word out, only making muffled sounds.

"Senior, he is my close friend!" Fang Yuan raised his voice.

"Do you mean you want me to add more?" the old man in the duckbill cap laughed.

"No, Senior..." Fang Yuan's mind was in turmoil.

How could he personally kill his own friend?

Yet, all the Jade Flowers were in that old man's hands.

Without a Jade Flower, Dingdang would surely die.

Fang Yuan's heart was now a tangled mess.

"I will only give you one minute to consider.

After one minute, if you do not give me a concrete answer, I will personally kill your companion.

Haha... look, your companion will die regardless, so he might as well die by your hand to trade for a Jade Flower; it still has some value."

The old man in the duckbill cap laughed, his voice like a ghost.

Fang Yuan stood there blankly, having no idea how to break the deadlock.

Just then, the old man in the duckbill cap spoke to the air again, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness: "Master, I told you long ago that human nature is inherently evil and that there is no hope in this world.

All kindness is merely moral superiority.

All greatness is merely a camouflaged facade.

A world like this is not worth our anticipation; it would be better to... destroy it."

"Sigh."

Just at this moment, a long, drawn-out sigh drifted over: "Qingguang, why must you do this?"

The figure of Zimo appeared.

Following his voice, an infinite curtain of light appeared, interspersed with thousands upon thousands of sword shadows.

As soon as Zimo appeared, he utilized one of his strongest Daoist Methods.

The sky was filled with a curtain of light, as if thousands of Sword Immortals were brandishing their swords.

"Master, you have not mastered this Starry Sky Sword technique as well as I have, so how could you possibly defeat me?"

The old man in the duck-billed cap formed a sword finger with his left hand, and a ray of light flickered.

A massive blood-red sword instantly surged toward the curtain of light filling the sky.

Auras of tyranny, darkness, and death permeated the blood-red sword.

At this moment, the curtain of light filling the sky instantly dimmed, and the aura within it turned pitch-black like ink.

The aura on Zimo's body suddenly withered: "Cough..."

With just a single strike, he was defeated.

The gap between him and Master Qingguang was truly too vast.

"Master, how is this move of mine?" Master Qingguang looked at Zimo with a smile on his face, "Actually, I am very curious; you have been fleeing for hundreds of years, so how did you suddenly find the courage to come looking for me?"

"Qingguang." A trace of disappointment carried in Zimo's voice, "Wei An saved your life, why must you..."

"Master, did I not make myself very clear?" Qingguang chuckled, "I desire to see a perfect world, not such a turbid and unbearable human realm."

"Qingguang, I told you long ago that human nature cannot withstand testing; why must you seek out your own humiliation?" Zimo urged.

Qingguang was an orphan he had taken in after returning to the Qiyuan World.

Perhaps because he was reminded of his former disciple Xiang Long, he had taken Qingguang in as his own disciple.

"If it cannot even withstand testing, human nature is truly fragile.

Should such fragile people not all go and die?" Qingguang's face always wore a kind smile, yet the words coming from his mouth were exceptionally manic.

"Master, are you not the same as these people?

Selfish, ignorant, and prejudiced.

I have already worked very hard, yet you have never once held me in your heart.

In your heart, I have never been as good as that eldest martial brother I have never met.

Even if I work hard, even if I am Excellent, reaching the Seventh Tier in seventy years.

Yet, in your heart, I am still not as good as that disciple of yours?"

The smile that had always been on the face of the kindly-looking Qingguang finally vanished, replaced by a trace of distortion.

"In what way am I inferior to him?"

Master Qingguang's voice was manic.

"I once broke into a Demon Cave to save several women and children, and in the end, I returned with a severed arm.

I once imprisoned myself for thirty years to fight against the Heavenly Demon.

In what way am I inferior to him?

The Unique Skill known as the Fen Kui Dan that you taught me is fundamentally flawed and cannot be unified at all.

Such a Unique Skill, you were only willing to teach to your eldest disciple, and were simply unwilling to give it to me!

Master... you are very biased!"
