LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 68
Chapter 75: So Fierce?
“Whoa…”
The void shook continuously.
One space portal after another opened up.
All the notable sects in Qinzhou quickly made their way to the southern half.
“This is really big news!”
Liu Shunyi was somewhat shocked.
But what was this rumored ancient secret realm all about?
Though Liu Shunyi hadn’t been in this place for long, it wasn’t exactly a short time.
Back when he broke through to the Golden Core stage, his Golden Core had been continuously destroyed and remade.
He had exhausted nearly all his cultivation resources.
Liu Shunyi was also looking to find a few secret realms where he could gather some loot.
He even wanted to return to the Skyfire Secret Realm to venture into the center of that desert.
But he couldn’t go to the Skyfire Secret Realm right now.
The ground of the southern half of Qinzhou had been thoroughly searched by him countless times, and he hadn’t found any secret realms.
What surprised Liu Shunyi even more was that this time, Zhao Gou was leading the Qinglian Sect.
Not only that, but even the elders of other sects looked at Zhao Gou with respect.
Liu Shunyi observed closely, noticing that everyone who knew Zhao Gou wore expressions of fear mixed with respect.
In fact, the current Zhao Gou felt somewhat unfamiliar to Liu Shunyi.
How to explain it?
The Zhao Gou from before had a youthful exuberance.
Now, however, he seemed to have lost his smile, exuding the presence of someone in a higher position.
As for Zhao Gou, he simply nodded in acknowledgment to those who greeted him, without a trace of a smile.
And with such an attitude, surprisingly, no one seemed dissatisfied.
Liu Shunyi was curious.
What exactly had he gone through to turn such a cheerful person into what he was now?
At that moment, Liu Shunyi grabbed the arm of a nearby cultivator.
“Friend, do you know Zhao Gou?”
The cultivator looked at Liu Shunyi, somewhat shocked. “You don’t know Elder Zhao Gou?”
Liu Shunyi cleared his throat.
“Well, I know him, but I’ve just come out of seclusion and am kind of curious about this person!”
“I can tell you respect him greatly!”
The cultivator was practically glowing with excitement.
“To be honest, Elder Zhao Gou is my idol! You could say he’s the best among Golden Core cultivators!”
Then, the cultivator’s face turned red as he continued to boast.
Liu Shunyi finally understood.
An act of Universal Salvation that led to a city massacre!
Wait, hold on.
“You mean the Jing Shui City, right?”
The cultivator was stunned.
“How did you know?”
Liu Shunyi was baffled.
Not that he intended for Zhao Gou to take the blame.
And wasn’t Zhao Gou basically the embodiment of blame here?
That was one heavy load you accepted!
The key was, upon careful investigation, Liu Shunyi discovered Zhao Gou’s timing and motives for action were quite reasonable.
He even experienced a moment of dazedness.
“Could it really be him who committed this massacre for Universal Salvation?”
Of course, that wasn’t possible.
Because Liu Shunyi knew exactly how things were.
All he could do was look at Zhao Gou, standing on the flying ship with a serious expression, with a strange look on his face.
“By the way, brother, you say you know Elder Zhao?”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Yeah, know him!”
The cultivator’s face lit up with excitement.
“Then maybe you could talk to Elder Zhao Gou?”
Liu Shunyi waved his hand. “I know Elder Zhao; he might not remember me!”
The cultivator’s face fell in disappointment. “Ah, I might have gotten a bit carried away, but I really want to be a disciple of Elder Zhao!”
Liu Shunyi was stunned for a moment. “Wait, you practice medicine too?”
The cultivator shook his head. “No, I’m a poison practitioner!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
…
…
The southern half of Qinzhou was bustling with activity.
What was once barren land had now turned into a gathering spot for cultivators.
Every sect had chosen to occupy a larger mountain directly.
Following that, powerful beings used their abilities to refine the land.
Palaces marked with their sect insignias sprang up one after another.
Such methods were truly breathtaking.
However, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, Liu Shunyi could do the same.
Since in the Golden Core stage, one could literally move mountains and fill seas, refining all things to their own use.
Of course, Liu Shunyi wouldn’t flaunt it everywhere.
He had recently been investigating the matters regarding the ancient secret realm.
Because he hadn’t discovered where the ancient secret realm should appear or any signs of it.
But that was just one concern.
The second was Liu Shunyi’s inquiry into the current stronghold of the Heavenly God Sect.
Liu Shunyi now needed enemies.
Randomly dragging enemies into the fray felt a bit inappropriate.
Though Liu Shunyi wasn’t a saint, he felt he couldn’t just indiscriminately pull others up the list.
But as far as the Heavenly God Sect was concerned, Liu Shunyi felt no psychological burden whatsoever.
“Friend, friend, please wait!”
One day, while Liu Shunyi was strolling through a city, he was suddenly stopped by an extremely ugly woman.
This woman was not just ugly; her face was covered in pus-filled sores.
She looked like a toad!
“Cough, cough, um, miss, what brings you here?”
The woman chuckled. “Friend, are you interested in a little fun?”
“Pfft~”
Liu Shunyi spat out instantly. “Not interested!”
He turned to leave, but the woman suddenly hugged his arm.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits, and besides, this isn’t the first time we’ve had a good time!”
As she spoke, the woman pulled out two identical bells.
Even the notch on them was the same.
“Elder…”
The woman quickly made a shushing gesture.
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Tsk, tsk, little handsome guy, come on, let’s go to my room!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
At that moment, a few passing cultivators raised their thumbs to Liu Shunyi.
Indeed, Chen Qiaoli’s outfit was exceedingly disgusting.
…
…
Now, in Chen Qiaoli’s room, Liu Shunyi was somewhat taken aback.
Because Chen Qiaoli’s dwelling was shockingly ordinary.
There wasn’t even an ounce of defense.
“Are you really Sister Chen?”
Chen Qiaoli looked around and then smiled.
“Since I’ve changed my appearance, I should also change my personality. My former cautious nature has become part of my identity!”
“If I don’t hide this personality, I might as well just announce to everyone that I’m Chen Qiaoli?”
Liu Shunyi scratched his head.
“You have a point, but I have to ask: those who offended you, are they all dead without a trace? You really think someone would recognize you?”
Chen Qiaoli waved her hand. “Being careful is never a bad thing!”
Liu Shunyi had no words.
It seemed this was indeed a form of caution.
Suddenly, Liu Shunyi felt that in this regard, he really was somewhat lacking compared to his sister…
