Chapter 527: Chapter 519: The Sixth Cave Master Who Turned to the Evil Path

Many large families are cold and heartless, prioritizing the interests of the clan above all else. To trouble an Immortal Master for the sake of a deceased female heir of a family, moreover when that person is the Sixth Cave Master of Huoyun Cave, how is that possible?

One would believe that as long as the decision-makers of that family were a bit rational, they would suppress this matter and act as if it had never happened.

“Since the Qi Family refuses to help me take revenge, I can only find my own way. But when I reached out to the friends I was on good terms with for help, they all rejected me. Later on, they even started avoiding me. In the end, I realized that everyone feared the elder because he was an Immortal Master; no one was willing to wade into such murky waters.

Therefore, I trained desperately, only to seek vengeance for my wife as soon as possible, to slay that old thief and sacrifice him to the spirit of my wife in heaven.

Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard; under my relentless training, my cultivation level broke through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Qi Realm.

I acquired some Talismans and equipment and set out to seek vengeance once more.

After making various inquiries, I learned that the old thief was the Sixth Cave Master of Huoyun Cave, named Fang Hanshan. The old thief had encountered issues due to greed and impatience in cultivating a formidable technique from Huoyun Cave, and was hiding outside to meditate in seclusion.

In reality, he was hiding outside hunting for women with Pure Yin Bodies to help dispel the fire poison in his body.

The Gold-Striped Lightning Leopard was his pet, deliberately let loose to lure some highly skilled Hunters to pursue it. Then, he would lead them to the cave where the old thief was in seclusion, capturing them all at once.

If they were men, after capturing them, the old thief would manipulate them with secret techniques, forcing them to serve him and search far and wide for women with Pure Yin Bodies.

If they were women, most would be violated by the old thief on the spot and sucked dry to become mummies. Moreover, any woman he encountered, even if she didn’t possess a Pure Yin Body, as long as her cultivation reached the Innate Realm or above, he wouldn’t let her go.

After figuring out the old thief’s background, I attempted a surprise attack while he was off guard. To my surprise, the old thief’s cultivation was truly terrifying.

Even with the help of Talismans and my years of swordsmanship training, I still couldn’t kill him. Instead, I was struck by the old thief’s palm, which shattered my treasured sword, and the two broken halves pierced into my chest. At the brink of life and death, although I managed to escape, and by a stroke of luck kept my wretched life, I also realized the huge gap in strength between the old thief and myself.

When he shattered my treasured sword with a palm, flames sprayed from his hand.

The flames, which could melt gold and iron, also contained terrifying fire poison. After being stabbed by the two broken halves of the sword, I was poisoned, and almost burnt to death.

Thankfully, during my first escape, I accidentally discovered a cold spring at the bottom of a river. I soaked in that cold spring for over a month, and only then successfully neutralized the fire poison in my body.

That’s the entire story. If there’s a single lie, may lightning strike me dead, and may I never transcend in the afterlife.”

After telling his story, the man immediately made a venomous oath.

It was to make Qin Niu believe him.

“From today on, you will follow me, but you have to promise me that you will obey my orders and never act on your own. Especially when you see that old thief Fang Hanshan, you

must suppress your hatred and follow my commands. If you violate this, our agreement will be null and void, you’ll take your own path, and I’ll cross my own bridge. After I avenge you, you must keep your word and remain loyal to me for life, never to betray.”

After refining the Ice Lotus, Qin Niu was no longer afraid of the fire poison from the Huoyun Cave Cultivators.

Now, what needed to be ascertained was Fang Hanshan’s true cultivation level and his weaknesses.

Since the old thief was looking for women with Pure Yin Bodies to harvest for his cultivation, it indicated that the Cultivation Technique he practiced must have significant flaws. In essence, it wasn’t much different from dark magic.

Such cultivation techniques, once practiced, would grant immense power, but they also made it easy to lose one’s mind and become a devil.

Looking at all Fang Hanshan’s actions, he was no different from a devil.

“Agreed, a gentleman’s promise is inviolable!”

After listening, the man agreed immediately.
