Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 203 - 108: Rouge on the Immortal Mountain, Lanterns of Severed Heads, Brushwork of Long and Snake, Fate’s Picture Complete
Pang Qian cried pitifully, "But even so, I... I am still me. She is gone, and I am living on for her. Isn’t that allowed? Why can’t I continue living?"
Her face was covered with tears.
Li Yuan said, "You merely got some information from the real Pang Qian’s memory and used it to gain sympathy, hoping to escape this calamity."
As soon as the words fell, Pang Qian, who had been crying, suddenly stopped as if her ruse was seen through. The pitiful expression faded away, replaced by a venomous look, staring straight at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan continued, "Actually, you should have kept crying, kept saying you wanted to live well. Actually, you had no choice; you just... helplessly became a ghost servant and then ended up here.
Everything about you is beyond your control, but now you also think of living well...
You use memories to gain sympathy.
But in the end, you are not truly human.
So once exposed, you feel that this trick doesn’t work, and you stop.
But humans... even if they fail, they do not stop.
Because emotions cannot be stopped."
After speaking, he calmly observed Pang Qian.
Pang Qian looked bewildered, then her expression turned into one of contemplation.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan moved swiftly to her side and slashed, severing the carpenter shop ghost servant into two pieces.
Though severed, it was not dead, only losing its ability to move.
"Forget it, even if you had done that, I would still have killed. I was just saying, don’t take it seriously."
The "Pang Qian" on the ground let out a vicious, inhuman roar.
Li Yuan looked at her with a shiver creeping up from the bottom of his heart.
He had said those things purely to test the ghost servant’s learning ability, but the ghost servant actually was thinking. This gave him a heavy answer in his heart: a ghost servant can learn and at least can utilize the original host’s memory and talent to understand...
As for being able to grow in power, he didn’t know.
Soon, a ghost servant elder from the Frost Sword Sect arrived, and Li Yuan swung his blade.
Shortly thereafter, Sect Leader Pang Dantai arrived, and Li Yuan still struck with his blade.
The ground was littered with many severed bodies, some were already healing but were cut again by Li Yuan.
After a lot of busy work, the Frost Sword Sect ghost servants were finally gathered, and Li Yuan piled them up in one place, letting the blood out, then set fire.
Amid the flames, strange screams kept coming, chilling those who heard them...
After a long while, everything calmed down, and the ghost servants turned to ashes.
The group then went to Fuyue Nunnery, but the ghost servants there started to flee early.
Li Yuan, Pang Yuanhua, and the newly joined Frost Sword Sect disciples took a great effort and a full two days to kill these ghost servants and burn them.
Subsequently, the Frost Sword Sect sealed off the carpenter’s shop completely.
Pang Yuanhua left Pang Han behind to temporarily stabilize the Frost Sword Sect as Deputy Sect Leader.
Pang Han is a martial fool, but came along with her and the Blood Saber Ancestor; she can command respect and stabilize the situation now.
Pang Yuanhua then took four other Frost Sword Sect disciples, including Xiaodie, with Li Yuan to Shanbao County.
In Shanbao County, there were unfamiliar ghost servants to deal with.
...
No time for rest, finishing one affair leads to another waiting for attention, keeping them constantly in tension and excitement.
This... was not the life Li Yuan longed for.
But fortunately, reality didn’t seem this fortuitous.
When he and Pang Yuanhua returned to Shanbao County again, Pang Yuanhua looked up at the sky.
Then... continued looking at the sky.
Li Yuan was curious, but he endured patiently, not asking, just waiting for an answer.
And the answer was: the line in the sky had disappeared.
Upon returning to Shanbao County, Li Yuan learned that the Fulin Commerce Association had left.
The steward of the tent area was clearly from the Fulin Commerce Association.
At this moment, the firmament was empty, not a single line crossing it.
This implies that the ghost servants originally needing resolution left Shanbao County by themselves.
Ordinarily, people would think: The Fulin Commerce Association was traveling and trading, just passing through Shanbao County, and now that they’ve left, everything is fine. After all, the ghost servants are gone, so the matter must be over. What’s the point of investigating?
But the three seated at the round table didn’t think so.
Li Yuan, Tie Sha, and Pang Yuanhua were sitting in the Blood Fury Hall of the Inner City.
On the table lay some information.
This information was enough to prove the Fulin Commerce Association truly left Shanbao County, and Li Yuan’s White Sparrow had seen them departing at Antelope Pass.
"Check the things they’ve left, the items they’ve sold, the people they’ve contacted, leave no stone unturned," Tie Sha coldly said.
Pang Yuanhua added, "Investigate secretly."
After finishing, the two looked at Li Yuan, as the decision needed the Ancestor’s approval.
Li Yuan closed his eyes, considered for a moment, then said, "Don’t investigate anything."
Tie Sha and Pang Yuanhua showed thoughtful expressions but weren’t surprised.
Then Tie Sha said, "Then everything waits for the Ancestor’s orders."
Li Yuan said, "Await my news anytime, prepare to act."
Pang Yuanhua asked, "What should I do?"
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Go find Tang Nian, see if she can design a new wheelchair for you."
After a brief meeting, Shanbao County was calm, everything seemed normal.
...
Inside Baihua Manor, Pang Yuanhua smiled at the big girl. She liked this child very much, especially when she was busy, it seemed the whole world consisted only of the task in her hands.
