Chapter 389 - Chapter 389: Chapter 89: Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, Destroyed (2/2)
“since brother lin can control it, brother lin can take it away,” said lu youjiu.
“this five-colored divine light doesn’t look simple, and it should be helpful for your cultivation of the five elements divine art,” he continued.
lin jing nodded and tried to put away the five-colored divine light, but he encountered a problem at this moment.
the five-colored divine light could not be put into the storage bag.
thus,
after a brief contemplation, lin jing decided to absorb the five-colored divine light into his own body.
thinking this, lin jing immediately used the five elements divine art to control the five-colored divine light to drift toward him.
as the five-colored divine light approached him, to avoid any accidents, lin jing used the five elements divine art to condense a five-colored aurora that enveloped the five-colored divine light.
after finishing all this, lin jing slowly began to integrate this mass of five-colored divine light into his body.
although lin jing took such precautions, when the five-colored divine light entered his body, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
in fact, lin jing even felt a familiar and comfortable sensation on top of the colorless divine light.
it seemed that the five-colored divine light wouldn’t harm lin jing.
after lin jing absorbed the five-colored divine light, the three golden core cultivators who had been standing at a distance came forward.
upon their arrival, they bowed and said to lu youjiu and the others,
“we thank the senior and fellow daoists for saving our lives.”
lu youjiu said,
“no need to be polite…”
“we came specifically to kill dai mao.”
the three were stunned at first, but then one of the older men angrily said,
“this demon cultivator dai mao has done all sorts of evil deeds. he deserves to be killed by everyone. he even slaughtered everyone on nanli island, not sparing even the common folks.”
“if it weren’t for the senior’s timely intervention, it wouldn’t just be nanli island at risk, but also our lives,” he added.
after saying this, the old man bowed again to lu youjiu and said,
“we three will never forget the great kindness of the senior.”
the two standing behind the old man similarly bowed and said to lu youjiu,
“senior’s great kindness, we will never forget.”
lu youjiu looked at them, his brows slightly furrowed, and then he said,
“no need…”
however, the old man spoke up at this time,
“senior, the three of us have decided to follow you to the death, and we hope the senior will accept us and let us accompany you.”
as the old man finished speaking, the two behind him hurriedly added,
“yes…”
“senior…”
“nanli island has been slaughtered, we three have nowhere to go. we hope the senior will take us in and let us follow you.”
at this, not only lu youjiu but lin jing and the others were also stunned.
was this the situation?
after killing dai mao, people actually wanted to follow them.
however, lu youjiu glanced coldly at them, then directly declined their request.
“i only advanced to the nascent soul stage with the help of myself and some brothers.”
“if you think that i have some powerful force backing me, then you are mistaken.”
“i am just a loose cultivator, acting entirely according to my own preferences, and do not need followers.”
“as for you all, you might as well give up on this idea,” he finished.
then lu youjiu said to lin jing and the others,
“alright…”
“this matter is settled, let’s go.”
lin jing and the others nodded, then together they boarded the flying boat and left the area.
at the original site, only the three somewhat embarrassed golden core cultivators remained.
……
on the flying boat, yan wanfei asked lu youjiu:
“brother jiu…”
“why didn’t you take them in just now?”
lu youjiu glanced at yan wanfei and then said,
“their motives were not pure, it was quite obvious. only a simpleton like you couldn’t see through them.”
yan wanfei scratched his head and said,
“really? i really didn’t notice that.”
lu youjiu pursed his lips and said,
“that’s why i say you’re a simpleton.”
after speaking, lu youjiu paused, looked at yan wanfei, and said,
“niu san…”
“i remember i still owe you several training sessions, right?”
yan wanfei nodded and said,
“yes, brother jiu…”
“we were delayed by the heavenly desire demon monarch before, so we never got around to the special training.”
lu youjiu nodded and said,
“good…”
“now that the matter with the heavenly desire demon monarch is also resolved, i will arrange your special training as soon as we get back.”
upon hearing this, yan wanfei’s eyes lit up, and he said,
“really, brother jiu…”
“that’s great…”
lu youjiu looked at him with a smile and said,
“of course, it’s true. i will definitely help you with your special training.”
these words should have made yan wanfei happy, but suddenly, he felt a mysterious chill.
then, yan wanfei turned his head, looked at the smiling lu youjiu, and gently reminded him,
“brother jiu…”
“remember what we agreed on, you can’t torment me during these training sessions.”
lu youjiu then said,
“originally, i wasn’t planning to torment you…”
“but your performance this time was too disappointing, you didn’t play a single role.”
“so this time, i’ve decided to help you with a hundred training sessions to boost your strength, to avoid such situations in the future.”
“but don’t worry, if i promised not to torment you ten times, then it will be ten times.”
yan wanfei’s face immediately turned sour, and he then wailed,
“that still means there are ninety times you will torment me…”
“brother jiu, please no…”
facing yan wanfei’s wails, lu youjiu was unrelenting, and firmly said,
“there’s no discussion on this matter. prepare yourself for the coming period…”
