Chapter 339: Sarcasm
Chapter 339: Sarcasm
When Lei Chu walked towards the city, Ye Zhen, who was above the city, always kept his eyes on Lei Chu.
Zhou Jia, who was standing by, noticed Ye Zhen's gaze and asked casually, "What's wrong, Brother Ye?"
Ye Zhen smiled slightly when he heard the question and shook his head: "Nothing, let's go and complete the tasks assigned by the city lord."
---City Lord's Mansion---
When Zhang Yu and Huang Zuo came to the yard, the servants had already placed tea on the stone table.
Huang Zuo observed the surroundings and said, "City Lord Zhang's residence is quite simple."
"Maybe. People who practice cultivation don't have any requirements for these mundane things." Zhang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly. "I saw you attacked that little cultivator when you came, but why?"
"City Lord Zhang, you don't know that this guy is not a good person. He is an evil cultivator who practices evil skills and sacrifices mortals to practice. Some time ago, he killed a disciple of my sect. Later, an elder of my sect went to investigate and was killed by him in some unknown way.
If this kind of vicious species is not eradicated, it will become a great threat to more mortals in the future. He is sacrificing and killing them one by one now, and later, he will slaughter ten, a hundred, or even an entire village or county!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yu did not show any special reaction, because what he heard was only one person's opinion, and he had not heard the other cultivator's words yet.
After a while, Lei Chu came.
After entering, he bowed deeply to Zhang Yu and said, "My name is Lei Chu, nice to meet City Lord Zhang."
Lei Chu only bowed to Zhang Yu, but did not bow to Huang Zuo, but walked straight past him.
Although Huang Zuo was unhappy with Lei Chu's behavior, he didn't say anything at this time, but just snorted coldly.
After Zhang Yu saw Lei Chu, he used his spiritual sense to investigate in detail, but did not find any blood or evil energy. Normally, this meant that the other party did not practice evil skills, but it was not ruled out that there might be some special methods that blocked the investigation.
Zhang Yu asked Lei Chu to sit down and repeated to him what Huang Zuo had just said.
Upon hearing this, Lei Chu was immediately furious and said to Zhang Yu, "Lord City Lord, I swear to my path. If anything I say is false, I will never make any progress in my cultivation for the rest of my life! I will be punished by death!"
That day I arrived at the border between Dongzhou and Zhongzhou, feeling a little tired. I wanted to rest right there, but I found man-made traps in the mountains, indicating that there were mortals around.
I thought that I had to take a rest anyway, and it would be better if I could live among mortals. After all, there would be sufficient spiritual energy, which would be better for my cultivation.
So I spent some more time to feel it, and finally found a place with very strong spiritual energy. When I arrived, I found a village, so I entered the village.
The villagers were very welcoming when they saw me. But when I moved in, I found that they were in a very bad state.
So I asked the village chief the reason. The chief told me that some people in their village had disappeared for no reason. Four people had disappeared in the past year, and all four of them were unmarried young women.
I thought I wasn't in a hurry, so I helped the villagers. Then I went out to investigate and found a secret cave containing the remains of the four women.
There is a clear trace of residual Qi in the cave, so it is definitely not caused by monsters, but by humans. Thinking that there are evil cultivators targeting the village, and the time it takes for the evil cultivators to attack is getting shorter and shorter, I thought about hiding outside the village and catching the evil cultivator who attacked. "
"Okay, okay." Huang Zuo said sarcastically, "You have good intentions, but aren't you worried that the evil cultivators who come out have higher cultivation levels than you? They might kill you in the end."
Lei Chu glanced at Huang Zuo and said, "This evil cultivator only dares to attack in small villages, and each time he attacks only one person, his cultivation level is definitely not that high. I am quite confident in my own strength.
I stayed outside for several days, and finally one night, I saw a monk coming. He sneaked into the village and carried a woman out. The woman was unconscious at the time, and it was obvious that the other party had done something to her.
What this evil cultivator didn't know was that all of this was a trap that the village chief and I had set long ago, just to trick the evil cultivator into taking action.
After I saw that guy, I attacked him. In the beginning, I was somewhat holding back because I was not sure if the other party was really an evil cultivator, so I didn’t want to hit the wrong person.
But after what he said next, I knew I had made the right arrest. He said I was ruining his plans, which meant he wanted to sacrifice the woman to improve his own strength. When he couldn't beat me anymore, he started to use his own name, saying that he was a cultivator from Huangya Mountain, named Shen Sheng.
As long as I forgive him, everything can be treated as if nothing happened, and he won't continue to offer sacrifices in this village. It's impossible for me to forgive him. He just said to let this village go, but didn't say he wouldn't go to other villages.
Besides, even if he said he would not offer sacrifices in the future, I would not believe him. I do not think a person who practices evil skills can resist the temptation by his own will. When I was about to give him a fatal blow, he said that his status in Huangya Mountain was extraordinary. I killed him, and I would die in the future.
I didn't take it too seriously at the time, because Huangyashan does have a good reputation in the local area, and there shouldn't be any evil cultivators there. That guy named Chen Sheng was probably a fake, and even if he wasn't, Huangyashan would definitely stand on my side after knowing it.
But in reality, it was not like that. A third-level cultivator from Huangya Mountain came, named Fan Fengli, and he did talk to me, but he didn't listen to what I said at all, and just said that their disciples would not practice evil skills.
And for no apparent reason he turned around and accused me of practicing evil skills, saying that I was the one who killed all the people in the village, and that his disciple was taking the blame. He then refused to listen to my explanation, and of course he didn't listen to me in the beginning, and he just attacked me straight away.
If I hadn't had the life-saving magic weapon that City Lord Zhang gave me when I went out to explore, I would have died on the spot. That life-saving magic weapon was very powerful, and it killed that bastard named Fan Fengli who didn't care about right or wrong and kept talking on his own.
I thought that Huangya Mountain was definitely not as fair and bright as advertised outside. Seeing one thing means knowing two things, and seeing two means knowing the whole. Huangya Mountain believes that their disciple Shen Sheng is not practicing evil skills, so it is very likely that it is a den of evil with a hypocritical appearance. There will definitely be a cultivator with higher cultivation coming to hunt me down later.
Then I fled here, hoping that City Lord Zhang would make the decision for me. When I arrived at the city gate, as expected, a stronger cultivator from the evil sect Huangya Mountain came over, and this time it was in line with my expectations, there was no dialogue, and they just started fighting.
I can only say that he is indeed a member of the evil sect. He doesn't care about the truth of the matter at all. He kills anyone who knows the truth. He is really domineering!"
