Chapter 599: Clenching the teeth and enduring the consequences!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Due to the excessive loss of blood, Song Shuhang weakly lay on the bed after was.h.i.+ng the blood off his body, quickly falling asleep...
But right at this time, the other "Song Shuhang" in s.p.a.ce had met great danger.
Due to the effects of Medicine Master"s medicine, Immortal Master Copper Trigram was currently weakened and couldn"t break free of Fairy Firefly"s "repulsive flying rocket technique", flying in s.p.a.ce directly.
Ugh! In the end, I still ended up coming to s.p.a.ce. Dammit, if not for Brother Medicine Master"s poison weakening me, I would have been able to break free of Fairy Firefly"s "repulsive force" in an instant! Immortal Master Copper Trigram thought to himself, somewhat depressed.
At the same time, he recalled the message that that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Northern River"s Loose Cultivator sent in the group... "I"m pretty sure he (Immortal Master Copper Trigram) is headed toward s.p.a.ce as we speak. If he gets into s.p.a.ce, I"ll have a 50% chance of catching him."
The person that understood one the most was their enemy. Immortal Master Copper Trigram firmly believed in this axiom.
I"m already in s.p.a.ce...
If Northern River"s Loose Cultivator has really arranged traps in here, I might directly fall into his hands if I"m careless enough to reveal my real ident.i.ty.
As soon as he thought of the various fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, Immortal Master Copper Trigram s.h.i.+vered all over.
In short, it"s better if I remain disguised as little friend Shuhang for the time being. It"s the best way to avoid getting surrounded and captured by the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group in cahoots with Northern River"s Loose Cultivator, Immortal Master Copper Trigram thought to himself.
Thereupon, Immortal Master Copper Trigram perfected the effects of his "disguising technique" even further. At the same time, he started to intentionally release little friend Song Shuhang"s aura from his body.
If Mama Song and Papa Song were to see him at this time, they, too, wouldn"t be able to tell whether or not he was an imposter!
A G.o.d-level disguising technique was truly scary.
But for this very reason, something unexpected happened.
Due to Immortal Master Copper Trigram intentionally releasing little friend Song Shuhang"s aura, the aura ended up attracting the attention of a certain cultivator!
It was the Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall!
The Hall Leader was on his way back to the Limitless Demon Sect. At the same time, anger was brewing in his heart... I have already noted down the aura of that small cultivator of the Second Stage. If we meet again, I will make sure to give him a good lesson. I will torment him to the point of making him wish he were dead!
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly sensed his aura!
There was no mistaking it. It was the aura of that d.a.m.nable cultivator of the Second Stage! He had carefully noted down his aura, and he wouldn"t mistake it for someone else"s even if there was a great distance between them.
That d.a.m.nable cultivator of the Second Stage was nearby!
"I searched high and low just to find him when I least expected it!"
The Hall Leader took a deep breath. Afterward, a cruel smile appeared on his face. He was extremely frustrated today! He failed to save his subordinates and even lost a large number of cultivators of the Fifth Stage Realm in the process, with their souls getting ferried to the afterworld by a little b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Second Stage. Afterward, a crazy ancient witch with brain problems chased after him to kill him.
If he didn"t vent the extreme anger in his heart, it might become his Inner Demon in the future.
He would kill that kid and extract his soul, letting him have a taste of the cruelest tortures in the world.
The Hall Leader operated the exclusive flying sword of the Limitless Demon Sect and headed toward the place where the aura was coming from.
After a few breaths, the Hall Leader had already reached the place.
He took a broad view and finally spotted the silhouette of that d.a.m.nable cultivator of the Second Stage. A calm-looking Song Shuhang was holding his chin and seemingly pondering about the meaning of life.
Aside from the aura, the Hall Leader could faintly recognize his face too even though he just saw it through the c.u.mbersome s.p.a.cesuit back then.
There was no mistaking; it was precisely him!
"d.a.m.ned brat, I"ve finally found you!" the Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall roared. The sound directly reverberated in Immortal Master Copper Trigram"s ears through the secret sound transmission technique.
Immortal Master Copper Trigram was surprised. Then, he looked at the incoming person and asked, "Fellow Daoist, whom are you looking for?"
"Now you are even playing dumb? Hehehe... forget it. I"ve already decided that I"m going to kill you today! Therefore, die!" the Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall sneered. In the next moment, the signature flying sword of the Limitless Demon Sect beneath his feet disappeared from its original place and whizzed toward Immortal Master Copper Trigram.
Immortal Master Copper Trigram was dumbfounded. What the f*ck is going on? We just met, and he attacked me with a sword?
Is this Northern River"s Loose Cultivator"s ambush?
Is it possible that Northern River had such an incredible foresight that I got caught even though I"m currently disguised as little friend Song Shuhang?
No, it can"t be! This absolutely isn"t Northern River"s Loose Cultivator"s ambus.h.!.+
The killing intent coming from the opposite party is simply too obvious.
Such heavy killing intent... it seems that the opposite party is really serious about killing me. To be more precise, the one he wants to kill is little friend Song Shuhang...
"Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, we"ll settle today the enmity you created by ferrying the souls of my subordinates!" the Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall roared as the sword light slashed out.
After hearing up to this point, Immortal Master Copper Trigram was finally clear as to what was going on. F*ck, so it was all little friend Shuhang"s doing!
From the looks of it, he was going to be the one to bear the consequence of Shuhang"s actions!
What kind of horrible situation was this? He was still weakened due to the effects of Medicine Master"s poison. In addition, he was tightly wrapped by Fairy Firefly"s repulsive power. He couldn"t even dodge the attack!
Wasn"t this the same wanting his poor life?
Dammit, I don"t want to bear the consequences of other people"s actions!
"Clang!"
Just as Immortal Master Copper Trigram was in deep thoughts, the flying sword of the Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall closed in on him. However, a layer of invisible strength managed to block it.
The flying sword gave rise to a series of electric sparks of pure energy in the void.
Immediately after, the raging slash of the Hall Leader was repelled by a repulsive force. It was Fairy Firefly"s "repulsive flying rocket technique".
The defensive layer had kept off the attack of the Hall Leader for Immortal Master Copper Trigram. But after it received the sword attack, the layer of repulsive force disappeared.
At the same time, Immortal Master Copper Trigram had finally regained his freedom.
However... it wasn"t really the time to regain his freedom! He was currently in a weakened state and could only display 20-30% of his actual strength. He was in great trouble now that he had lost that defensive barrier.
When he saw that his raging slash wasn"t even able to kill a small cultivator of the Second Stage, the Hall Leader became angry out of shame. Now, he was even angrier!
"Die!"
The energy within the Spirit Lake inside his body had recovered for the greatest part. Therefore, he could already display certain techniques of the Sixth Stage True Monarch rank.
While roaring, the Hall Leader moved his foot forward. At the same time, the huge projection of the foot of a demon also appeared. The foot was incredibly big, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
The foot headed toward Immortal Master Copper Trigram, ready to stomp him to death!
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, had I not been in a weakened state, I would have given you a good lesson!" Immortal Master Copper Trigram clenched his teeth and stretched out his hands, throwing out ten bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips were usually used to perform divinations, but when Immortal Master Copper Trigram threw them out, they instantly arranged themselves into a great divinatory formation. The bamboo slips automatically moved according to the directions of the eight trigrams and gave birth to a formation. The ordinary-looking bamboo slips borrowed the power of the world and created layer upon of layer of defensive formations.
If Immortal Master Copper Trigram hadn"t been in a weakened state, both the range and the strength of the formation would have increased by more than ten times.
Just because he was a shady fortune teller, it didn"t mean that he was weak in the field of divination! He was shady only due to his questionable character; it had nothing to do with his strength!
"Such an insignificant skill, die!" the Hall Leader roared and trampled with his right foot. The projection likewise trampled with its right foot.
"Boom~"
The eight-trigram formation that Immortal Master Copper Trigram had created was smashed to pieces.
The power of that foot capable of destroying heaven and earth didn"t diminish as it hit Copper Trigram.
Immortal Master Copper Trigram, who was currently disguised as Song Shuhang, got trampled to death just like a small insect. "Aaaaaaah~"
Just as he was screaming, "Song Shuhang" was flattened and reduced to a pulp.
Had "Copper Trigram edition" Song Shuhang died here?
"Hmph, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, don"t think that it"s over. It"s not so easy to solve that enmity you created by ferrying the souls of so many of my subordinates. I"ll capture your soul and let you have a taste of the different types of torture back at the Limitless Demon Sect," the Hall Leader sneered.
After saying this much, he teleported and appeared right next to Song Shuhang"s corpse, stretching out his hand and preparing to extract his soul.
But in the next moment, the Hall Leader was dumbfounded.
There isn"t any soul to extract?
"Is this a clone? Or something akin to a subst.i.tute puppet?" The Hall Leader clenched his fists.
He looked all around but didn"t find the traces of that small cultivator of the Second Stage. Even his aura had completely disappeared.
Dammit, I unexpectedly failed to kill that guy!
But the next time we meet, you will die for sure! You won"t be able to escape with your life thanks to a subst.i.tute again!
The Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall received his flying sword with a bitter expression on his face and stepped on it, instantly leaving the place.
Around ten minutes later.
There hadn"t been any change in that stretch of s.p.a.ce and Song Shuhang"s corpse was still there.
The Hall Leader of the Nine-eyed Kama Hall quietly appeared from behind a nearby meteoroid and carefully looked at the "corpse".
The corpse was still there and hadn"t moved in the slightest.
The Hall Leader frowned and finally stretched out his hand, attracting Song Shuhang"s corpse toward himself. Afterward, he operated his flying sword and headed toward the Limitless Demon Sect.
It didn"t matter if the "corpse" was a subst.i.tute or a clone, it was bound to have some connection with the "main body". The Limitless Demon Sect had a method to find the main body of a person through their subst.i.tute or clone.
The only problem was that one had to pay a high price. In addition, if too much time had pa.s.sed since the destruction of the clone or subst.i.tute, it would be impossible to find that "connection" again.
Thereupon, the Hall Leader decided to increase his speed and go back as quickly as possible.
The next time I meet that guy, I"ll make him die without a place for burial!
❄️❄️❄️
After making sure that the Hall Leader had truly left, the originally invisible eight-trigram formation materialized in the void. Soon after, a deathly pale Immortal Master Copper Trigram drilled out of the formation.
"It was quite dangerous. If not for all the magical treasures I had with me, that foot might have killed me! Now then, has the consequences of that "lucky" divination I performed on Earth finally come to an end?" Immortal Master Copper Trigram said, somewhat depressed.
Little friend Song Shuhang better thank him once he was back to Earth. After all, Copper Trigram had replaced him and bore the deadly calamity in his stead.
Should I return to Earth now? Immortal Master Copper Trigram thought to himself and looked at Fairy Firefly"s silk handkerchief tied around his waist, as well as the seals she left on his body.
But how could it be so easy! If he were to return to Earth with all these seals, Fairy Firefly would immediately sense his presence. At that time, Fairy Firefly might make another special trip just for him and let him have another taste of her "repulsive flying rocket technique".
In that case, should I remove these seals and the silk handkerchief? This thought crossed Immortal Master Copper Trigram"s mind.
However, he immediately decided against it. Fairy Firefly would immediately notice if the seal had disappeared. If that happened, she would think that little friend Song Shuhang had run into some problem.
If she were to call the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that were currently in s.p.a.ce and tell them to head toward the coordinates where the seals had disappeared, wouldn"t Immortal Master Copper Trigram get surrounded from all sides?
Therefore, it was better not to return to Earth for the time being. Since he was already in s.p.a.ce, he better stay there for a while.
But... should he still keep using little friend Song Shuhang"s appearance?
Only G.o.d knew what kind of calamity little friend Song Shuhang had provoked while he was in s.p.a.ce!
He had already suffered the consequences for little friend Song"s actions once. He didn"t intend to suffer them a second time!
Such being the case, it was time to change appearance.
Perhaps it was better to change gender as well and turn into a woman. In an unfamiliar environment, a beautiful female cultivator would be more well-liked than a male cultivator.
In that case, whose appearance should he a.s.sume?
Just as he was in deep thoughts, a notification was issued from Immortal Master Copper Trigram"s special phone.
At this time, Copper Trigram wasn"t too far away from Earth. Therefore, his magically modified mobile phone could still receive the signal.
It was a notification from the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Fairy Lychee had just come online.
Immortal Master Copper Trigram had started to "follow" Fairy Lychee recently. Therefore, he would get immediately notified if she got online.
Since he had bought valuable magical clothes for her as an apology gift, he had started to follow her to see whether or not his gift had had any effect.
As a result, Fairy Lychee was still in Immortal Master Copper Trigram"s follow list.
As always, Fairy Lychee had sent two beautiful pictures. It was a group picture with penguins in the South Pole.
Today, Fairy Lychee was as beautiful as always.
I"ve decided... I"ll a.s.sume Fairy Lychee"s appearance!
Why had he decided to a.s.sume Fairy Lychee even after receiving a good beating from her? It was because Fairy Lychee was the only member of the group he was sure to win over with gifts if she were to get angry!
Even if she discovered that he had a.s.sumed her appearance, she would forgive him if he were to timely deliver an apology gift.
After thinking up to this point, Immortal Master Copper Trigram started to change his appearance and clothing in s.p.a.ce.
Tens of breaths later, Song Shuhang had disappeared from s.p.a.ce, and a beautiful Fairy Lychee had appeared in his stead.
Actually, Immortal Master Copper Trigram could just casually a.s.sume the appearance of a female cultivator that didn"t even exist.
But for some reason, Immortal Master Copper Trigram had very rarely a.s.sumed an "original" appearance during the past few years. On the other hand, he had started to like more and more a.s.suming the appearance of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group or other famous people in the world of cultivators.
As for the reason... it should be the influence his hobby had had on him during this period of time?
Now that I"ve changed into Fairy Lychee, I won"t have to be a scapegoat anymore! Immortal Trigram faintly smiled. The smile was identical to Fairy Lychee"s smile in the picture!
❄️❄️❄️
At sunrise.
The extremely tired Song Shuhang crawled out of bed. He felt his body was somewhat empty after the excessive loss of blood yesterday.
"You finally got up? Get ready. I"ll bring you to the branch of the "Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery"." Yu Jiaojiao jumped from the windowsill and landed on Song Shuhang"s shoulder.
It was time to see what kind of good item had Elder Bamboo Pipe left behind!
