…
…
In a Ming Hall suffused with Profound Qi, the projections of Taiyin and Taiyang’s flame swirled above.
In the Ming Hall, Tang Yi and Huo Lanxin were sitting upright, cultivating.
Suddenly they felt something, stood up simultaneously, and watched a man in a Sword Robe with a face like cold jade stride in, they then both saluted.
“Senior Yun.”
“Greetings, Senior Yun.”
Yun Linzi glanced at the two and said, “Are you adapting well?”
Tang Yi chuckled and said, “The cultivation environment here is truly excellent. My wife and I will certainly follow your orders from now on.”
Yun Linzi also smiled, then said warmly, “Unfortunately, there are those who don’t wish for you to do so.”
He continued without waiting for a question, “You must disappear, and the cause and effect of me taking you away must be erased. But erasing a segment of cause and effect is difficult, even if you died, you would still be traceable, so…”
He slightly raised his palm, revealing a transparent cage shrouded in black mist among his fingers, inside which a Demon Buddha in black robes looked around with a roar.
“Sometimes, it’s quite useful to raise a Celestial Demon, especially one like this Universal Relief Demon Buddha.”
Looking at the two, Yun Linzi said, “You should have seen the lowest level Novice Monks of the Sea of Suffering. As for this Demon Buddha, named Universal Relief, you can consider it an advanced Novice Monk of the Sea of Suffering.
Novice Monks of the Sea of Suffering can only create Illusion Realms, but Universal Relief Demon Buddha can not only truly trap you in an illusion, but also make the false appear real, using a vast amount of cause and effect to render the original one a mess.
You will die after the illusion ends, and the cause and effect will be chaos…
This way, even if someone investigates, they won’t find the truth.”
Tang Yi and Huo Lanxin were dumbfounded.
Yun Linzi smiled and said, “Don’t blame me for being cautious; a single leaf falling can predict autumn. Knowing I took you away, knowing I’m secretly investigating Song Yan, may lead to uncovering many things that can’t yet be exposed, so you must die.
Blame that you know Song Yan, but the cause and effect isn’t deep, and then blame those who came to find you over a trifle…”
He slightly tilted his head back, pondering with a smile, “Wang Susu, Tang Ningxin, hate them.”
Tang Yi hurriedly shouted, “Senior Yun, we… we’re willing to do anything, we…”
Huo Lanxin clutched Tang Yi’s sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with despair.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of Song Yan at that moment.
She originally knew little about Song Yan, but during the process of “Inference and Observation” that day, she glimpsed many past events of Song Yan. She abruptly thought of that man named Song Yan, who had faced countless times of despair… was each time as desperate and inescapable as now, certain death, impossible to replicate?
Then, how could she and Brother Yi escape with their lives?
Or maybe…
The next moment…
Huo Lanxin’s thoughts were interrupted.
Yun Linzi closed his fingers.
Crack… crackle…
Boom!
The light shield sealing the Universal Relief Demon Buddha shattered.
Immediately, black smoke surged around, engulfing the two.
Their visions blurred, only hearing laughter not far away.
“To live through three lifetimes before dying, it’s enough.”
…
A life, just a day.
Three lifetimes, originally supposed to last three days.
But Yun Linzi felt it ended in just two days.
He opened the door, only to see the Universal Relief Demon Buddha hovering in the air, while below, the female cultivator was gripping the male cultivator’s hand, letting the hand shaped like a blade pierce deeply into her throat.
Blood was dripping, staining their clothes, their bodies, blooming into beautiful dahlias on the ground.
Yun Linzi understood the reason.
Huo Lanxin forcibly broke free from the illusion at the end of the second life, then committed suicide, thereby weakening the illusion’s intensity, allowing the male cultivator named Tang Yi to survive.
Yun Linzi sensed for a moment, then calculated, looked at Tang Yi, and laughed, “Congratulations, with two lifetimes of chaos, plus your partner’s death, it seems the confusion of cause and effect has been completed ahead of time. Even though you’re still alive, outsiders can no longer probe you through cause and effect. And you still hold value, as your cause and effect with Song Yan remain… Keeping you alive might prove useful.”
Tang Yi held his partner’s body, eyes slightly closed, tears streaming down, splashing in the blood.
Yun Linzi retrieved the Universal Relief Demon Buddha and then approached, patting Tang Yi’s shoulder warmly, “Cultivating Profound is inherently cruel; many things, no one has a choice. Since you’ve survived, look forward. She’s just a woman, you can find another if she dies.”
“Yes.”
Tang Yi took a deep breath and replied respectfully, then said, “Please, Senior Yun, teach me the art of Causality Tracing. Someday I must personally find Song Yan!”
Yun Linzi scrutinized him for a moment and said, “Your Lifebound Talisman from the Divinity Transformation Realm isn’t settled yet, you can learn, but it’s up to Liu Venerable whether to teach you.”
Tang Yi said angrily, “Song Yan killed my father, shamed my mother, and now my wife is dead because of him…”
He suddenly laid down Huo Lanxin’s body, clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and said, “If it were not for my wife seeing that Song Yan kill Pei Xuehan at the soul threshold of the Plague King, she wouldn’t have thought of this way to break the game, originally… I should have died with her.
I don’t blame Senior, as you act according to circumstances, without choice.
I only hate Song Yan! It’s all Song Yan, it’s all because of him that my life is like this!”
He heavily knelt down before Yun Linzi and said, “Please, Senior Yun, help me.”
Yun Linzi naturally saw everything Tang Yi mentioned, now Liu Venerable doesn’t want to pursue Song Yan, so… choosing another acquaintance of Song Yan seems another option.
He reassessed Tang Yi’s motives, saying blandly, “Seems reasonable enough. Alright, bury her body, I’ll report to Liu Venerable to see if you have the value to become a pawn.”
