188 Chapter 188 Discord (1/2)
In the morning, a stunning news spread throughout the entirety of the Demonic Sword Sect.
”Have you already heard what had happened to that greedy Cao Min?”
”What? Is he perhaps enjoying his riches and flaunting it to get his women in our front?”
”Of course not! But well... He might have done that indeed if he was alive to enjoy them today. HAHAHA!”
”What do you mean? Is Cao Min...”
”Yup. He died. Must be because of those spirit stones. I say every time, too much of everything is never good. It would only invite the envious scourge in your home.”
”Indeed. Cao Min has eaten more than he could chew. It would be good if he only got some broken teeth to show for it but alas, he lost his life in consequence for being so naive.”
”Let this serve as a lesson to all of you! If you happen to stumble upon any treasure in your life, don't tell a soul. Or you may just end up exactly like Cao Min.”
”Yes!”
”Understood!”
”Absolutely!” The Outer Disciples talked amongst themselves.
Conversations like these were rampant around and same as the majority of disciples, this showed aptly enough of their ignorance of the truth.
However, those that knew of what really happened behind closed doors certainly would not be stupid to blabber their mouths away out in the open.
Especially since this involved the most powerful Seniors in the sect, no one doubted that they would follow Cao Min's fate if they should do otherwise.
It did not need saying that this piece of trivial information has also reached the ears of our bored gamer and company.
”There goes another victim of your schemes, Foul Creature. You should just raise your neck and let me take your head cleanly in one swipe of my sword.
It would at least grant you what little redemption that can be afforded in your surrender.” Lin Che uttered her usual dark omen of words as she shook her head in dismay.
She would have wanted nothing but to end her quest as soon as possible but it seemed that our bored gamer would choose to remain stubborn in the end.
”Wouldn't that be too easy if I did exactly as you wanted, Lin Che?
If you really want to finish your task here then you should better go home and return to see me only after one hundred trillion years.
When that time comes, I bet that you'd get the chance to hear me say a final goodbye. To you and to this chaotic world.”
Our bored gamer replied and revealed what little he can to the Primal Warden.
”Why? What's going to happen in one hundred trillion years?” Lin Che asked the golden question.
”We shall see, won't we?” Clark smiled and led his eternal prison guard out of the room. Together, they went to welcome the new day with entirely different motivations.
The crowded bodies were no more and what was left behind was a semblance of peace. Perhaps this was true, save for one soul who persevered even now.
”It seems like someone has still not given up on you, Young Master Clark.”
Elder Feng Ren commented when they saw a young boy who stayed sitting in a lotus position as if in a long and arduous meditation.
It was surprising to see that this 18 or so Outer Disciple had a cultivation of only the 1st Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.
He was definitely an odd monkey out of the tribe of lions in this Demonic Sword Sect.
”A poor child.” Elder Feng Lin muttered.
One should know that anyone who has not stepped unto the 6th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm after one year of stay in the sect would be forced to leave without question.
It could be easily seen that this young dreamer was perhaps bound to fail in his quest just like the countless cultivators that had come before him.
”Let's go.” Clark only looked at the boy with slight interest but other than that, he urged his party into motion.
Although being hungry seemed like a faraway memory at the moment but eating something delicious never stopped being a good way to waste his time.
He enjoyed it before and that perk never changed even if he jumped from one world unto another. Our avid gamer enjoyed his days with these trio of amazing company.
The ever talkative Feng Ren, the silent Feng Lin, and the dark humor of Lin Che, mixed together with our very own protagonist's special style of doing things was indeed an effective recipe for pure fun and recreation.
And there were some days when Clark would even force Tang Xinyue to come with them. In our smart protagonist's defense, he believed that a compulsory date was a date nonetheless.
Though most of the time Clark got the silent treatment as always but he took that as a turtle's little crawls as he made slow creeping motions towards the heart and earn the affection of one very beautiful woman in Tang Xinyue. Someday. One day soon.
The days passed and in a blink, 2 months had arrived since Gu Wenren left the confines of our avid gamer's room.
This was a very special day indeed because it would mark the start of their campaign for world supremacy.
”Tang Xinyue.” Clark called softly and the same effect was absolutely like heaven and earth towards the target of his summon.
