Chapter 29 - Vengeance Exacted (2/2)

Lonemoon turned around and prepared to fly off on his sword, but his eyes met two deep, meaningful eyes. “What are you looking at?” His heart skipped a beat as he turned his head to stare back. “Are you unhappy with the way I handled things?”

“Nope.” Shen Ying shook her head.

“Then why aren’t you leaving? Are we waiting to be caught?” His expression turned even more ferocious. “Isn’t this all because of you? If not for us being from the same hometown, do you think I would have given a damn about this?!” He was a mighty Soul Formation Supremacy of Blackheaven Sect, so how could it be easy for him to close one eye on this matter?

“Oh…”

“Oh my ass. Let’s leave quickly!”

“Oh…”

“…”

Three days later.

“Shen Ying, why did you go to Sword Comprehension Peak that day?” Lonemoon could not help but ask. After all, at that time, it had not been long since Qi Chengyu had dealt with Gan Zirui. She was also a Fiendish Cultivator and there had been three Soul Formation cultivators on the mountain; it was impossible for none of their group to have been discovered. Yet despite that, the other side had not appeared from beginning to end.

“Let me ask a question,” Shen Ying returned languidly.

“Is it about Gan Zirui?” He was taken aback. “Did you figure out something from your investigations?”

Shen Ying glanced at him and then switched to a more comfortable position while continuing to slump back. “That Gan… Gan…”

“Gan Zirui.”

“Oh, he didn’t die a pointless death. Qi… Qi… Roasted Chicken Gal.”

“…” Are roasted chickens the only f**king thing you can remember?

“She wasn’t the first human cauldron whom Gan Zirui was seeking for Yu Ding. I heard that he had many disciples under him and they were all female. However, none of them managed to live for long. Later, when Roasted Chicken Gal turned fiendish and achieved the Nascent Soul stage and got her Fiendish Cultivators to seek him out, he sensed danger and hid in Sword Comprehension Peak.”

“If that’s the case, he deserved death!” Lonemoon frowned. “But why was he at Sword Comprehension Peak? Although rearing human cauldrons is common in Azure World, specially recruiting disciples to rear them into human cauldrons is just too vile. It’s impossible that all his disciples had pure Yin bodies. The Six Schools Three Sects would not permit such actions, much less shelter him.”

“The old folks said that he was related to someone in Azure World, so he was allowed inside as an exception to the rules. In name, he was a disciple who guarded Sword Comprehension Peak. Upon reaching Soul Formation stage, he would have been allowed to directly head to the Upper Azure World.”

“The Upper Azure World?!” Lonemoon was alarmed. “It’s no wonder he was a Nascent Soul despite his average talents. So it has to do with his connections with the Upper World.”

Shen Ying suddenly looked up at him with unclear intentions. “Do you believe it?”

“Ah!?” What did she mean?

“Yu Ding.” She suddenly said a name.

Lonemoon was taken aback, his eyes widening abruptly as he suddenly thought of something. “Are you referring to…”

Shen Ying did not reply while Lonemoon immediately stood up and turned around, swooshing straight over to Yu Ding’s Elixir Peak.

Half an hour later, he returned wearing a conflicted look. He held several bottles and urns in his hands as he placed them on a table in front of Shen Ying. His brows were crossed.

“You guessed correctly. It’s really related to the Upper Azure World… It’s Yu Ding!”
