When he opened his eyes, Su Clan’s Seven thought he was dreaming.
He was sleeping at Medicine Master’s place yesterday, but when he woke up now, he unexpectedly found himself inside a coffin? As if that wasn’t enough, he discovered that he had a slight headache, just as though he had a hangover.
However, he and Medicine Master didn’t drink yesterday…
Of course, there was no way this coffin could stop Su Clan’s Seven. He stretched out his hand and pushed slightly, pus.h.i.+ng aside both the lid of the coffin and the layer of soil above.
After getting out of the coffin, he discovered that there was a grand gravestone set up as well. The following words were written on it: ‘The grave of my dear friend Su Clan’s Seven—built by Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’.
At that moment, Seven laughed.
The sound of his angry laughter echoed in the surrounding area, appearing very scary.
There was another grave next to Su Clan’s Seven, twice as big.
The following words were written on the gravestone of that grave: ‘The grave of my dear friends, Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist, husband and wife.’
As before, there was still a ‘built by Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’ written next to it.
When Seven got out of his grave and laughed angrily, Medicine Master also got out of his coffin. The shy and bashful Riverly Purple Mist, whose purple eyes were s.h.i.+ning brightly, also got out alongside him. The enchanting Riverly Purple Mist was very angry that she had been buried inside a coffin together with Medicine Master. However, she was also a little happy.
After getting out of the grave, Medicine Master first glanced at the coffin and then at his gravestone. The sound of the small bells tied to his hair was constantly echoing as he angrily shouted, “Thrice Reckless, I won’t rest until I kill you! I’ll refine you into a human medicine!”
The nearby Riverly Purple Mist lowered her head and gazed at the words written on the gravestone. After she read the words ‘Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist, husband and wife’, the resentment she felt for Thrice Reckless Mad Saber disappeared without a trace.

Su Clan’s Seven clenched his teeth and said, “I’m going to catch Thrice Reckless and bring him back here.”
However, he was unable to understand what had happened. Although he was staying at Medicine Master’s place yesterday and his vigilance wasn’t as high as usual, Thrice Reckless had dug two large holes, set up a gravestone, and brought over two coffins without him noticing! Afterward, he even placed him, Medicine Master, and his disciple inside the coffins! How come neither he, Medicine Master, nor Riverly Purple Mist noticed what was happening?
One had to know that Su Clan’s Seven’s keen senses allowed him to detect the wind blowing and the gra.s.s moving even while he was sleeping!
But yesterday, he slept like a dead pig and didn’t notice anything at all!
Was it possible that Thrice Reckless Mad Saber drugged him yesterday without him noticing? Or perhaps he had some kind of special magical treasure that allowed him to do all this?
Anyway, regardless of the reason… Thrice Reckless was a dead man now!
Medicine Master clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll trouble Brother Seven to catch Thrice Reckless. I’ll prepare more than ten types of experiments that can cause one so much pain that they wish they were dead. When the time comes, I’ll let Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless have a good taste of the pain as I carry out the experiments on his body.”
Thereupon, Su Clan’s Seven started tracking Thrice Reckless.
❄️❄️❄️
During the night, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber fled very far away… but Su Clan’s Seven still managed to find and catch him.
Afterward, Seven used his golden rope magical treasure to tie Thrice Reckless Mad Saber up like a rice dumpling.
It couldn’t be helped. Who told him to be weaker than Su Clan’s Seven?
Thrice Reckless’ strength was very high. He had already reached the peak of the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm, being only one step away from the Sixth Stage Realm. However, he still couldn’t defeat Seven.
His Seventy-Two Swift Saber Strikes were swift and ruthless, and his footwork as fast as lightning. But as before, he still couldn’t defeat Seven.
He was known as ‘Mad Saber’, and whenever he went mad, he himself would also be afraid. But as before, he still couldn’t defeat Seven!
Thereupon, he lost and got tied up like a rice dumpling, ending up wriggling on the ground like a worm.
“Brother Thrice Reckless, where do you want to run off to this time?” Su Clan’s Seven said as he put on a fake smile.
Thrice Reckless had started panicking at this time.
His dao name was ‘Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’, and the number 3 wasn’t only an auspicious number but also a reminder!
It was a reminder that he couldn’t make the same mistake more than three times!
Therefore, as long as he didn’t seek death for more than three times on a single topic, he wouldn’t really die. It was the ‘bottom line’ he had set while happily seeking death.
But recently, the number of times he sought death while facing Seven had surpa.s.sed three. Therefore, he was screwed now that he got caught!
Why did I have to seek death?
Thrice Reckless was also aware that he would die for real if he kept seeking death in front of Su Clan’s Seven… but yesterday, he woke up in the middle of the night very hungry. Therefore, he got up and headed toward Medicine Master’s pill refining room while half awake and half asleep, opening a gourd he found there.
When he opened the gourd, white mist sprayed out. Thrice Reckless Mad Saber got a scare and immediately stopped breathing. He revolved his spiritual qi to resist the effects of the white mist and closed the gourd.
However, the white mist had already filled the air, and a small layer of mist that had now shrouded Medicine Master’s entire house.
Thrice Reckless was startled and hastily looked for Medicine Master and Su Clan’s Seven to wake them up.
As for what happened afterward, everyone could guess it.
The white mist was a very powerful anesthetic. After inhaling it, even a cultivator of the Fifth Stage would get KO’d.
Thrice Reckless saw that Medicine Master and Su Clan’s Seven had fallen into deep slumber. No matter how much he shouted and shook them, they just wouldn’t wake up. It was at that time that his death-seeking tendencies resurfaced once more and started to cause trouble.
Although he kept reminding himself in his heart: ‘Thrice Reckless, Thrice Reckless, you can’t seek death more than thrice!’, his hands and body were out of control, moving on their own.
That very night.
