Chapter 946: Your Baleful Energy is Too Heavy
"Yes, please, Senior Zhou, find her a good home. This little girl's background is pitiful; her parents are long gone. Because her life fate is unique, she was captured by some people of the Evil Path, who intended to refine her into a Cauldron."
"But later, Qianshou Xian encountered her. Seeing that she was cute, she felt a moment of soft-heartedness and intervened to save her."
"So that's how it is." Zhou Zhangsheng nodded slightly and said, "This girl's background is truly pitiful. It is fortunate that Qianshou Xian still had a shred of kindness in her heart; otherwise, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable."
"How about this, Mr. Chen," Zhou Zhangsheng pondered. "This little girl can live in my Zhou Family from now on. I will adopt her as my foster daughter. After all, Qianshou Xian has a special identity, and they will need to meet often in the future; ordinary people would likely be unable to accept that."
"Although our Zhou Family cannot claim to be a massive power, we do have some connections in the Xianyang area. This can ensure she is not bullied and also allow her to meet with Qianshou Xian frequently."
"Good, then thank you, Senior Zhou." Chen Yu nodded.
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. We will not rely on her relationship with Qianshou Xian to throw our weight around or threaten other families. Although my strength is not considered very strong, I at least possess martial virtue," Zhou Zhangsheng laughed.
"I trust Senior Zhou's character. Having her with you is more reassuring than anywhere else." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Very well, I leave Yinyin to you, Senior Zhou. I am going to go meet that old Daoist."
Chen Yu's final sentence carried a stern murderous intent. Originally, that Daoist was considered a member of the righteous path, with the duty of subduing demons and eliminating devils.
But whenever he encountered anything different, his eyes would turn red. The destruction he caused far outweighed his merits, so Chen Yu would absolutely not let him off.
In the outskirts, inside a dilapidated temple, Qianshou Xian lay prone on the ground, covered in blood.
Half of her true form had already manifested; her lower body was now shockingly a massive demonic physique.
Chun Yang stood to the side, holding a sword in one hand, his face full of baleful energy: "Where did that little girl go?"
"You subdue demons, and I am one. She is an ordinary person; she is human. You have already subdued me, so why do you refuse to let that little girl go now?" Qianshou Xian said angrily.
"Hmph, anyone who stays with you must also be stained with some demonic energy. Heh, anyone associated with demons must die." Chun Yang's face was righteous and stern: "My duty is to uphold the righteous path, so she must die."
"Heh, you kill the innocent indiscriminately like this, yet you dare to falsely claim you are of the righteous path?" Qianshou Xian sneered: "Do you only distinguish by category, not by good and evil?"
"In my eyes, there is only the distinction of category, not good and evil. Things like you shouldn't exist in this world to begin with, so it is only natural and right for me to exterminate you. The more I kill, the more merit I accumulate." Chun Yang's face was full of baleful energy.
"If you continue like this, you will eventually meet with retribution." Qianshou Xian hissed: "The Immortal has already spared me; I was enlightened by him."
"I don't care who this 'Immortal' you speak of is. Hmph, hanging out with you, I imagine he isn't anyone decent either. When he arrives, I will kill him too, and then find that little girl and send her on her way." Chun Yang stared at Qianshou Xian, saying this without the slightest hesitation.
"Daoist Chun Yang, we are all of the same path, why be so aggressive?" Chen Yu's voice came from the darkness, and following a flash of a figure, Chen Yu appeared.
"Immortal, Yinyin she..." Qianshou Xian was both shocked and happy to see Chen Yu.
"Rest assured, Yinyin is fine." Chen Yu said: "With me here, no one can take you away. I want to see who dares to touch someone I, Chen Yu, have enlightened."
"It's actually you?" Seeing Chen Yu arrive, a look of surprise appeared on Daoist Chun Yang's face.
During the day, the two had met in the shopping mall and had a fierce battle. He knew exactly how strong Chen Yu was, but he had not expected to encounter Chen Yu again now.
"Is this person enlightened by you?" Chun Yang asked.
"That's right, it was me. Chun Yang, you are right to slay demons and evil to uphold the righteous path, but to ignore right from wrong and harm the innocent indiscriminately, that is going too far." Chen Yu said coldly.
"Heh, in my eyes, there are only different categories, no good or evil. She is a demon, so she deserves to die, and those around her deserve to die too." Chun Yang sneered.
"The Daoist school also teaches that there is no distinction in teaching. What you are doing goes against morality and also goes against the Heavenly Mystery." Chen Yu said indifferently: "Today I am taking her away. If you are wise, do not interfere; otherwise, I will destroy your Dao Foundation."
"Kid, your strength is great, but it's a pity that you've taken the wrong path at such a young age. Today, while I'm here, I'll teach you how to behave." Chun Yang sneered. He grabbed with his right hand, and the sword in his hand appeared.
There was a notch on the ancient sword in his hand; this was caused by Chen Yu's sword during the day. He grabbed the sword and wiped it across his own palm; a stream of fresh blood sprayed out, sliding down the sword in his hand.
Countless twisted and ferocious faces suddenly appeared on the blade. These faces were the souls that had died under his sword over the years. These souls roared, attempting to seize the sword in his hand, but they could not break free no matter what.
"Blood Sacrifice Technique? Is this something a member of the righteous path should know?" Chen Yu was somewhat surprised. He had thought Chun Yang came from the righteous path, but now it seemed that was not entirely the case, because using the Blood Sacrifice Technique to enhance one's own strength was definitely not something a person of the righteous path would do.
"Does it matter?" Chun Yang stared at Chen Yu, saying somewhat morbidly: "As long as one is determined to slay demons, what does it matter if one uses some special methods? The Three Pure Ones will forgive me."
"That is not necessarily true." Chen Yu sneered. He pointed his right hand forward, and with a 'whoosh', Lichen suddenly unsheathed.
Chun Yang let out a loud shout, and the ancient sword in his hand shook. In an instant, countless strands of black energy surged from the blade, attacking Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's sword flickered, and the Sword Qi split into six. A hurricane rose up all around the two, and with a 'whoosh', it engulfed their figures.
Chun Yang's strength was not weak. Although he was not in the Primordial Qi Realm, because his personality was violent and he sought the Dao through killing, his state of mind had already faintly become stained with a trace of Demonic Qi.
The Demon is the most terrifying thing in the world; it is formless and bodiless, and it hides within the state of mind, making it impossible to guard against. Once one becomes a Demon, even a Dharma Cultivator finds it quite a headache.
Daoist Chun Yang's personality was bloodthirsty; faintly, he had already become stained with a trace of demonic nature, so this guy was extremely terrifying when he went mad.
In an instant, the two had exchanged several sword strikes. For the final strike, Chen Yu let out a long whistle, pointed his right hand forward, and the Lichen in his hand suddenly enlarged. A burst of Sword Intent erupted, striking heavily against the ancient sword in Chun Yang's hand.
With a 'ding', the ancient sword in Chun Yang's hand was deflected, followed by a faint 'crack', and the sword in his hand shattered into fragments.
