Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 378 - 142: Total Eradication, Wood Demon Taming Skill
The Divine Wood Hall... To keep him, they actually killed an innocent girl, truly...
His heart sank.
Yet he became even more vigilant immediately thereafter.
If he hadn’t arranged for Xiaozhao to leave early, as the Jade Remains, Xiaozhao would face unknown dangers upon entering the core of the Triple Gate of the Divine Wood Hall.
Most likely, he would be bitten to death by those insects, wouldn’t he?
Even if not bitten to death, the aftermath wouldn’t be good.
He thought as he wailed. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Cui Wuji slightly turned his head, unable to bear witnessing this scene.
And in the distance, Liu Luzi seemed to sense what was happening here. Only after hearing Li Yuan’s cries of anguish did she gently exhale, relieved that she had not mishandled the situation this time.
In the vast night, red clouds danced, the gentle sound of flutes rendered an ethereal clearness in this strange darkness...
The Insect Captains blew their flutes in the palanquin as strongmen carried them, safeguarding these special powers, darting through the crisscrossing streets.
A night...
passed...
After the first Heaven, all the lured ghoul bodies were annihilated.
Even if some ghoul bodies still hid, they were just two or three kittens.
However, besides the ghoul bodies, some ordinary people also unexpectedly encountered the attack of the insect mist, even ending up dead tragically.
...
...
Several days later.
Black Lotus Sect.
In a hall.
With a solemn expression, disheveled hair, and eyes bloodshot from exhaustion, a man hurriedly entered the hall.
Before he entered, his hoarse voice had already sounded.
"Peng Mi!!"
"You!"
"Why!"
"Betrayed your word!?"
Each word was like a roar from the flame within a wind box, bursting from his chest.
The newcomer rushed into the hall.
And in the seat, a man with a smiling face, dressed in a Black Lotus Robe, slowly restrained his smile, even though... he still looked like he was smiling.
This was a man with naturally smiling eyebrows and eyes, and even his fingers exuded friendliness, though he used poison and believed in Buddhism.
He was the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect — Peng Mi.
Some said that this Vice Sect Leader, who was above thousands under one person, had already reached the Fourth Grade, while others said he was still stuck at the Fifth Grade, but no one could truly discern.
As for the newcomer, it was naturally Zhu Ban.
From the fact that Zhu Ban had forged a Residual Array for Peng Mi, one could see that the two were not unfamiliar, one could even say they were close friends.
Even if they weren’t in the past, they were now.
Sure enough, Peng Mi didn’t put on airs, directly standing up, stepping down from his chair, clasping his hands together apologetically, and said: "Amitabha, Younger Brother Zhu, this matter, this old monk truly didn’t know about.
Damn it, the subordinate actually captured Master Li’s daughter and even killed her.
If he hadn’t already died in the Divine Wood Hall, this old monk damn well would have skinned him alive, pulled out his tendons, leaving him unable to live or die, to remove his sins in this lifetime.
Amitabha, well done, well done..."
Peng Mi appeared compassionate, full of apologies.
Zhu Ban pointed at him and said, "Li Yuan, don’t touch, neither my daughter!
I know what you’re thinking, and I know your purpose!
But let me remind you, impatience can turn a good thing into a bad one!"
Peng Mi chuckled and said, "Amitabha, Younger Brother Zhu, how could that be. Who would be stupid enough to harm Li Yuan, to harm your daughter? Isn’t that seeking death?"
Speaking of the word "seeking death," a cold glint emerged from his eyes, contrasting bizarrely with his compassionate appearance, as if two people within him were constantly switching roles, making him seem unpredictable.
Zhu Ban said, "But your people did it."
Peng Mi said, "From top to bottom, all involved in this matter are guilty... this old monk will personally purify them of their sins, and henceforth they will not target Li Yuan, would this satisfy Younger Brother Zhu?"
Zhu Ban said, "Discontent brings no Spiritual Artifact forging."
Peng Mi stood up, took out a register from his bosom, scribbled on it, and threw it out saying, "Bring everyone here immediately."
Instantly, two men wearing black robes embroidered with lotus walked out, respectfully responding: "Yes!"
...
...
Li Yuan knew nothing of this series of chain reactions.
He was now just a father who had lost his daughter.
He took Xiaozhao’s clothes and erected a gravestone for her, now standing silently in front of the grave, heartbroken.
He had set this grave amidst a sea of pearl-white flowers with the permission of the Jing Family.
The flowers swayed and gradually blurred one’s vision.
Li Yuan closed his eyes tightly, eyes red, raising his hand to support the stele, appearing extremely grief-stricken.
This mask suited him perfectly, allowing him to stand in the safest place, to better understand this world, then he could seize the opportunity to take his wife and children away from here...
Once they escaped, they would be free to fly under the vast sky.
However, both his wife and children needed the subsequent Cultivation Skill of the Divine Wood Hall to break through the succeeding Realm, and he also wanted to acquire more power from the Divine Wood Hall since many Skills were unavailable elsewhere, no matter how wealthy one was.
As Li Yuan mourned, a running figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
A big boy came running from afar, shouting, "Sister~~~"
The boy fell in front of the tombstone, knelt on the ground, hugging the stele and weeping bitterly, then turned to Li Yuan, face tear-stained, and shouted, "Why didn’t you protect your daughter well!? Why?!!"
The subsequent Gu Xuejian softly chided, "Ping’an, that’s your father!"
The boy shouted, "You taught me caution, taught me to be careful, but what about you? Your daughter is dead, you killed my sister!"
Li Yuan:...
This kid...
Forget it, now’s not the time to beat him.
He glanced at the "220~235" beside his son, it seemed to be a decent Seventh Grade, and should already tend towards Perfection.
Innate Shadow Blood, truly terrifying.
Li Ping’an cried, his throat hoarse, "Revenge! I want to avenge my sister! Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
