Chapter 227 - I Want To Kill The Spirit Beast (2/2)

“What about the man?”

The elder curled his lips. “How can a man who becomes a superb powerhouse through such a bewitching method end well? For generations, every man who has cultivated the Iron Blood Loyal Heart died in the fight, no exceptions. They were not strong enough to kill the spirit beast, but they can still perish together with the beast because….” An unusual look was seen on the elder’s face. “They cling to the spirit beast and detonate themselves.”

“Senior, why do you know so much?” Elder Universe answered faintly, “Because I’ve experienced it once…”

Ou Yangming was startled for a while, but he soon developed a huge respect for the elder.

He did not expect the elder to be so old.

Countless thoughts crossed Ou Yangming’s mind, then he suddenly asked, “Senior, can any lady from the Ni family carry out the task? Or… Can ladies who aren’t from the Ni family cultivate the Ni family’s secret technique too?”

Elder Universe cast an odd look at him. “If I guessed it right, He Liangce has proposed to Ni Yinghong, am I right?”

Ou Yangming nodded with a grim look on his face. “He probably did, but the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors haven’t agreed.”

Ni Xuetian and the other great ancestors did not inform Ou Yangming, but he could tell from their arrangements.

Elder Universe laughed. “Even if they disagree now, they’ll have to agree with it soon. How could the n.o.ble Sacrifice Secret Technique be cultivated by ordinary ladies? Firstly, the lady must be gifted with mental power, and the stronger her potential, the better; secondly, the He family’s man who practices the Iron Blood Loyal Heart has to choose the lady, and the lady must be someone he can work in harmony with.” Ou Yangming questioned with a long face, “Are other options not allowed?”

“If anyone dares to fake anything related to this matter, one will be making a joke out of the lives of countless Humans from the two counties. Heh, if something like that happens, not to mention the Ni family, even I won’t sit by idly.” Elder Universe smiled smugly.

“Must it be her?” Ou Yangming’s face twitched.

Elder Universe looked quietly at the young fellow and finally sighed. “I feel sorry for the little girl too. Do you think I won’t be willing to let someone else replace her? But in order to cultivate that secret technique, the lady must have the Blood Meridian Legacy from beyond the heavens. Moreover, the better the lady can work with the Iron Blood Loyal Heart, the higher the chance of the man becoming a superb powerhouse. This is why… We’re left with no other options.”

Ou Yangming fell silent. After hearing the reason, he felt as though a scorching fire was burning in his heart, and he could not find an outlet to vent.

Who could he blame?

He Liangce? If the fellow had not appeared, everything would not be such a mess. That said, Ou Yangming was mournful at the thought of He Liangce’s possible ending, so he could not bring himself to blame him.

He Liangce did not choose Ni Yinghong for himself; he chose her to eliminate the spirit beast. As said by Elder Universe, n.o.body had other options in this matter.

In that case, could Ou Yangming blame the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors or the other people? It would seem more far-fetched if he did. Instead of blaming them, he would seem like he was venting his anger on them.

Ou Yangming lowered his head and was fl.u.s.tered.

Elder Universe sighed and shook his head. He looked at Ou Yangming with compa.s.sion, but deep down his eyes were filled with strong killing intent.

He did not want to break the loving pair, but if Ou Yangming could not break free from the devil inside him, he would raise a butcher’s knife and get rid of all possible changes before the tide.

Ou Yangming clenched his fists after a long time, and he began to look resolute.

On the other hand, Elder Universe was full of killing intent, but he did not show it on his face at all. He comforted Ou Yangming in a friendly manner, “Young fella, look on the bright side!”

“Thank you for your comfort, senior, but I won’t admit defeat.” Ou Yangming pouted his lips.

“Oh, what are you planning to do then?” Elder Universe casually asked.

Ou Yangming answered seriously, “I found the way to solve this.”

“What?” Elder Universe hid his palms in his sleeve and was ready to launch an attack at that moment. Given that he was incredibly experienced, even Ou Yangming could not notice anything.

Despite that, Ou Yangming was not bothered about the elder. He uttered at once, “That spirit beast is the culprit behind everything, the world will be in peace as long as it is slaughtered.”

“What?” Elder Universe exclaimed because he was taken aback.

The front and back parts of what Ou Yangming said seemed related, but they carried completely different meanings.

Ou Yangming proudly announces, “I… Want to kill the spirit beast!”

Elder Universe widened his eyes and mouth because it was his first time in hundreds of years hearing someone talking nonsense like that. Even so, for some reason, an unusual heat gushed out of his heart like a torrential flood; it could not be suppressed at all.
