Chapter 612: Chapter 585: Borrowing Another’s Knife to Kill (Merged Chapters)

Huai City, First-Class Teahouse.

The teahouse was now crowded with people.

In the center stood a wooden protruding platform, surrounded by a red railing.

On it stood a storyteller with graying hair, holding a bamboo clapper, narrating with a dramatic ebb and flow, saliva flying as he spoke.

“Today, what I’ll be telling you is titled ’Sacrificing to Subdue the Demon Body Near Destruction, The Immortal Molding Earth for Rebirth’…

It is said that in the previous battle of Huai City, Red Hero, to prevent the demons from entering the city to cause chaos, sacrificed himself to hold them off, his body was shattered by a master from the Wolf Clan, and not even his remnants were found.”

“However, Red Hero was the reincarnation of a celestial star.

His death naturally alarmed the immortals from the heavens, which led to the emergence of his senior brother from his previous life—Immortal You De.

Upon learning of Red Hero’s death, Immortal You De hastily descended to the mortal realm and found Red Hero’s soul nearly drifting to the edge of the Naihe Bridge, he quickly took out an item.”

“This item was a piece of mud with five colors, but don’t be fooled by its ordinary appearance, its origin is nothing short of extraordinary!

It was the five-colored mud used by a celestial lord to repair the sky when it was struck by demons, leaving a hole.

Immortal You De cast the five-colored mud, recreating a body for Red Hero, and when the remnants of Red Hero’s soul entered the mud, he completed a rebirth…”

The storyteller was speaking with great passion, and the audience listened with rapt attention, occasionally bursting into applause.

At this moment, someone asked, “Isn’t it said that Red Hero’s cultivation technique is special? Called the Nine Lives Reincarnation True Technique, each time he dies, his strength increases.”

The elderly storyteller heard this, shook his head, saying, “That is nonsense.

If you know any cultivators, you would know that no matter how powerful a cultivation technique is, it requires the body to remain intact.

Red Hero’s body was previously shattered, so what use would such a technique be? It’s all just rumors, rely on what I’ve said.”

Seeing the old man’s confidence, the crowd applauded enthusiastically.

At this time, in a corner of the teahouse, sat a woman with her face covered by a black veil.

Listening to the old man’s remarks, a thoughtful expression appeared in her eyes.

In the woman’s beautiful eyes, seemed like celestial stars glimmering, her figure graceful, and even with the veil, one could imagine her stunning beauty.

Curiously, the tea patrons seemed to ignore her, as if oblivious to her beauty.

“Your Highness Holy Daughter, I didn’t expect you to be interested in such folk tales,” a white-robed man who appeared about thirty teased, sitting beside the black-veiled woman.

The white-robed man was handsome, with fair skin, but had a hooked nose that gave him a somewhat sharp and severe demeanor.

“Protector Yuan, what do you think of this Red Hero?”

“Just a mere wandering practitioner, without any foundation, he will be exposed when facing a master, only capable of bullying some ordinary demons,” the man with the hooked nose said disdainfully.

“Is that so?” the black-veiled woman smiled, “But He told me, this person may be related to the grand plan of our sect.”

Upon hearing ’He’ from the black-veiled woman’s mouth, the hooked-nosed man’s expression became noticeably more solemn.

“If that’s the case, I will have to observe carefully.

I heard Protector Zhang died at his hands, if there’s an opportunity, I wouldn’t mind giving him a lesson.”

He looked at the beautiful woman before him, a trace of passionate heat surfaced deep in his eyes undetected.

Unfortunately, he knew the Holy Daughter was His spokesperson, possessing a special status, even the Sect Hierarch dared not easily approach her.

After the man with the hooked nose and the black-veiled woman left.

Soon after, a man with a straw hat entered the teahouse, sitting in the place where they had been.

“A life-and-death duel with a bloodline-transformed expert from the Demon Clan? Perhaps, this is my opportunity.”

“Red Hero, oh Red Hero, sooner or later, I’ll cut you to pieces!” he murmured, his voice filled with resentment and venom.

The man in the straw hat was, of course, Fu Weiyi from the Taiyi Sect.

Upon hearing the news of Red Hero’s life-and-death battle with the Demon Clan, he rushed over.

He cared not for Red Hero’s life, but there was something in Red Hero’s possession he must retrieve—a shadow stone.

If Red Hero died at the hands of the Wolf Demon, his disgrace would be exposed to the world.

Elsewhere.

In a garden of a mansion in Huai City, several people of exceptional appearance and profound aura were strolling and chatting.

If anyone were here, they would recognize these figures as notable characters from the Demon-Slaying List: ’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng, ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Xia Hong, ’Fairy Biluo’ Xin Zhiq, and the wandering practitioner Han Yunzheng…

However, at this moment, they all seemed like mere foils, as a handsome young man in red had entirely become the focal point.

Despite his youthful appearance, the young man in red bore an air of old-world weariness in his eyes, rarely seen in someone of his age.

“Uncle Wei, what truly lies within the Abyss? None of us have ever been there.”

“Though I’ve been in the Abyss for several years, what I understand is merely a fraction of its marvels.

In the Abyss, there are Heaven and Earth Wonders that aid in building spirit platforms, ancient cultivators’ leftover abodes, insidious and dangerous demons, and numerous bizarre perilous places… Remember, without achieving Perfection in your Dao Foundation, do not venture there lightly.”

“Senior Wei, your talent is unmatched, constructing multiple layers of the spirit platform before seventy, the Golden Core is within reach…”

“What am I compared to the myriad talents under the heavens?

When you reach the Abyss, you will meet many prodigies from the Central Continent, there are many who have reached the spirit platform stage before fifty, our Northern Domain truly cannot compare to them.

Ah, seeing them for the first time was a bit disheartening, but after witnessing it many times, one grows numb.”
