Chapter 18: Senior Liu, Save Me!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhao appeared at the entrance of Immortal Destiny Shop. However, he didn’t walk straight into the shop. He only looked into the net at the entrance of the shop.
However, he saw that senior Liu Changgong, Senior Liu, wasn’t in the shop when the Demonic Qi was pervading the place.
So it turned out that there was a demon stirring up trouble here while Senior Liu wasn’t here.
Zhu Zhao was a little hesitant about whether he should go in or not. Senior Liu was a great cultivator who had planned everything thoroughly, so how could he make such a mistake? It was better to take a look first and see what the situation was.
Zhu Zhao stopped walking when he thought of this, but his eyes were still looking inside the shop.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhao’s eyes flashed and he saw the situation inside.
It would have been better if he hadn’t seen it, but when he saw Zhu Zhao, he couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“These evildoers are actually stealing paintings here? Can you evildoers understand the contents of those paintings? Senior’s painting allowed me, a cultivator who had been stuck on the Nascent Soul for hundreds of years, to immediately breakthrough to Dharma Idol. How dare you steal it? You must have eaten the heart of a bear or the heart of a leopard. In Senior’s eyes, these things might be just ordinary paintings, but…”
Zhu Zhao rolled his eyes and found a reason for himself.
“But even if it’s something that Senior Liu doesn’t care about, I will protect him very well. I won’t allow it. What you wet-sp.a.w.n people can get your hands on, you can’t even think about it, because even if you think about it, it’s still a crime!”
After finding a reason for his actions, Zhu Zhao began to become righteous. He strode into the shop valiantly and boldly.
He stood still and smoothed his sleeves. He pointed his sword at the two little demons that were unveiling the painting.
“Hey~ Little demons, how dare you be so impudent here? How dare you steal the painting and come here. It seems that I must teach you a lesson!”
As he spoke, Zhu Zhao rushed forward, but before he could finish his sentence…
Before Zhu Zhao could finish his opening line, the demonic aura of the two demons increased and was about to engulf the entire courtyard. The works written by Liu Changgong that were hanging on the wall began to vibrate. Zhu Zhao was also shocked by this sudden change.
Immediately after, the calligraphy and paintings began to glow. The light shone from every word of the calligraphy, from every landscape, from the figures, from flowers, birds, insects, and fish.
The light gathered in the hall and gathered into a shocking phenomenon.
Some of it was a vast and unchanging galaxy that was constantly rotating. Some of it was a towering peak that was unparalleled in the world. There was also an endless amount of Sword Qi that revealed its sharpness…
Many strange phenomena swirled around, and in an instant, all the Demonic Qi in the room was swept away. They even suppressed the living creatures in the room.
The two little demons, one black and one white, instantly woke up from the state of enlightenment. When they saw the strange phenomena above their heads, their eyes were filled with regret.
“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have been so greedy. Now, not only did I not bring the Princess back, but I even lost my life here. It’s really greed, anger, and stupidity. It can’t happen…” The black-clothed woman secretly regretted.
“I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m really dead this time…” The woman in white was also regretful. She shouldn’t have been so greedy and let her companions die.
“Eh? Is this the manifestation of Dao rhythm? Haha, these two little demons are really unlucky. Wait a moment, that’s not right. Why am I also in the range?” Zhu Zhao looked at the strange phenomenon above his head as if it was enveloping him.
“??? What’s going on? Senior Liu, I’m Zhu Zhao, the old man who came a while ago, the old man who gave you the jade sword! I’m here to help you protect these paintings! Why am I being suppressed now?” Zhu Zhao shouted loudly. Looking at the light formed by the strange phenomenon above his head, he was also dumbfounded. He felt that he was really wronged.
“Senior, I’m really wronged! Those two little demons tried to steal your painting! It’s none of my business!”
Zhu Zhao looked at the strange phenomenon above his head and did not slow down in the slightest. His eyes tensed up as he shouted, “Senior, I’m sorry!”
Zhu Zhao felt that this strange phenomenon formed the manifestation of Dao rhythm. It was only drawn on ordinary paper. As long as he brought out his own specialty, nothing would happen. It might even be because he had just broken through to the Dharma Idol realm… If he could not control his own power, it would cause damage to his senior’s painting.
Zhu Zhao thought that he had offended him and began to bring out his own unique skills. He raised both his hands and began to use his own strong Qi to resist the Dao above his head.
“Ha–” Zhu Zhao’s eyes bulged slightly as he pushed his own Qi to the limit. Zhu Zhao felt that the decline of the phenomenon above his head was gradually slowing down.
Before he could feel happy, the light from the strange phenomenon became even more dazzling. The weight on his hands also became heavier. Zhu Zhao’s heart sank. He felt that he was in big trouble this time. It was likely that he would lose his life.
As the weight placed on him became more and more terrifying, Zhu Zhao began to cower.
“F*ck! Senior! I’m Zhu Zhao! I’m here to help your shop deal with these little demons!”
The pressure on Zhu Zhao’s head was getting stronger and stronger. Zhu Zhao was directly pressed to the ground, struggling to hold on.
He thought about it again. Perhaps it was because he had made the decision for Senior on his own accord, so he quickly said, “Senior, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have made the decision for you on your own accord!”
At this moment, Zhu Zhao’s desire to live was quite strong!
No one would have thought that a dignified Dharma Idol realm character like him would have such a posture…
As for the two little demons, they were even more miserable. They had long revealed their true forms. One of them had turned into a black cat without a trace of color while the other had turned into a rabbit as white as snow. The two little demons had no choice but to spit out their demon cores and tried their best to hold on together with Zhu Zhao.
However, as time pa.s.sed, the pressure became even greater and the few of them began to despair. Zhu Zhao even felt that he was doomed this time.
“Senior is such a powerful figure. I actually developed a trace of greed for the things of such a great cultivator. Now, I really don’t even have the medicine to regret. I only hope that Linglong and the others can continue to manage the Grand Moon Sect well. The Grand Moon Sect is also suffering. In the past thousand years, the First Patriarch Fa Xiang died within a few days…”
“Luckily, I remembered this time. I went back to buy half a roast chicken on the way back. Otherwise, Little Fox would definitely not agree.”
Senior Liu was back? He could be saved?
Zhu Zhao heard the voice of Liu Changgong coming from outside the door and was immediately overjoyed.
Although he had already tried his best to hold on and was unable to speak, Senior Liu’s appearance meant that he had been forgiven. He could be saved.
