Purgatory Artist-Chapter 476: Death
Chapter 476 - Death
The old Daoist's voice echoed in the wind by the riverbank.
The entire world fell into dead silence.
This news ... this news ...
It was too f * cking shocking.
The cultivators who were patrolling in the sky froze in midair, not daring to continue flying forward.
The other cultivators froze on the spot, even holding their breaths.
How could they dare to breathe? If they were to breathe too loudly and the Sect Master took it as a joke, they would not be able to live.
The mountain wind blew.
Only the bears, foxes, wild dogs, and so on showed an expression of interest.
A doe quietly rolled her eyes and looked back and forth between the two male deer. Then, she quickly retracted her innocent and pure gaze.
If this scene continued to stagnate until eternity, perhaps everyone would feel better.
However, time would continue to move forward after all.
Liu Ping could not help but look at his master, only to see that there was a hint of caution in his master's smile.
His master was experienced and had been in the world for many years. He knew very well the various taboos in the sect. Why did he say such words today?
Liu Ping's heart skipped a beat.
Just now, he had only calculated the shallowest part of the past. At this moment, he continued to calculate.
Suddenly ...
A shocking murderous aura burst forth from Sect Master Qian.
"Swindlers."
He said, "Insulting my reputation is equivalent to insulting White Mountain Sect's reputation. Today, you ..."
Liu Ping suddenly interrupted, "You're not White Mountain Sect's Qian Yuanhe!" Sect Master Qian's expression changed and he shouted, "Everyone, attack and kill these two!"
The old Daoist interrupted him and shouted, "You are Qian Yuanhe's younger brother, and your brother is imprisoned in an underground secret room three hundred miles southeast of the White Mountain Sect. Whether this is true or not, you only need to send someone to check it out."
Sect Master Qian was furious. He drew his sword and said, "Men, attack and kill these two swindlers with ill intentions!"
"Wait!"
Liu Ping's fingers flew up and he said, "Your cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment realm. You used a Dharma artifact to conceal your aura. That's why no one can detect your cultivation level. If you're not convinced, let everyone see how your cultivation level is!"
Everyone was stunned.
The cultivators who were about to attack all turned their heads to look at the Sect Master in bewilderment.
When the matter of the Sect Leader's wife was exposed, they could still kill her without hesitation. But now, the nature of the entire matter had changed.
This matter changed from a mere gossip to a major event that concerned the entire sect.
The old Daoist priest took out a pipe from his sleeve and put it in his mouth. He took a puff and exhaled the smoke.
"The magic tool that conceals your aura is the sword that you carry with you. As long as you lose it, your cultivation will be exposed."
The cultivators looked at him, then at the blind child next to him.
An old man and a young man like this couldn't be said to be a match for a sect.
Even if they ate the guts of a leopard, they wouldn't dare to speak nonsense here. Otherwise, they would instantly die.
Then
Are they serious?
A white-haired cultivator walked out and cupped his fists towards the elders. Then, he cupped his fists towards Sect Master Qian.
He opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, today rumors are spreading to mislead the masses. We must guard against them. Otherwise, rumors will spread throughout the sect in the future, and everyone will be disheartened."
The cultivators nodded in unison.
A middle-aged cultivator said, "Grand Supreme Elder's words are reasonable. I wonder if Grand Supreme Elder has anything else to say?"
The Grand Supreme Elder said, "These two people are scheming. We don't know if they are true or false. After all, among the Six Arts, the Art of Divination is the highest. Only one person in a million can peek into the Dao of Heaven. But I have an idea."
He glanced at Sect Master Qian and smiled gently. "If we go and verify other things, I'm afraid it will hurt Sect Master's prestige and cause the sect to be affected by rumors. Now, there is a convenient way."
"What way?" Sect Master Qian asked.
The Grand Supreme Elder cupped his fists and said, "Sect Master, we only need to check if your sword is a magic tool that conceals your aura. Then, we will know if what these two people said is true or false."
"That's right. These two people dared to say that your sword is a magic tool that conceals your aura. If they are wrong, then the other divinations they made will naturally not be trustworthy." Another elder said.
Everyone nodded.
Sect Master Qian looked around and swallowed his saliva. His expression gradually became nervous.
He looked very hesitant.
He was the Sect Master and was being bullied by two unfamiliar Daoists. Now that he did not speak, others really could not force him.
On the opposite side.
Liu Ping silently observed this scene. Suddenly, he raised the fire stick in his hand and rushed towards Sect Master Qian in a flash.
The old Daoist took a puff of smoke and did not say anything.
The surrounding cultivators also saw it. freeweɓnøvel.com
However ...
Everyone maintained a strange silence. No one made a sound, and no one stopped him.
This kid's spirit energy fluctuations were actually at the Foundation Establishment realm.
He really had to be called a genius.
But that was not the main point.
The main point was ...
Although the White Mountain Sect was a small sect, Qian Yuanhe could become the Sect Master. His cultivation level was at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
With such strength, he could kill this blind child with just one move.
So, there was no need for anyone to do anything.
Now that the situation was in a stalemate, no one had any good ideas.
Since the blind child dared to stand out, he was responsible for his own life and death.
Although no one said anything, their hearts were clear.
They saw the child rush forward and clumsily raise the long fire stick.
"Men! Kill him! "
Sect Master Qian shouted.
No one moved.
The fire stick had already accumulated enough power and was about to stab over.
Suddenly, a woman in the crowd shouted.
"Husband, I'll help you!"
She suddenly rushed out, holding a long saber in each hand and slashing at the blind child's back.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Madam Sect Master, you can't!" The Grand Elder exclaimed.
Clang!
There was a soft sound.
A tobacco pipe blocked the two sabers.
Unknowingly, the old Daoist was already standing beside the blind child. He grinned and said, "Why, why!?"
The blind child seemed to have known what would happen. His expression did not change at all, and the fire stick in his hand stabbed towards Sect Master Qian's throat.
It was a moment of life and death!
Sect Master Qian had no choice but to raise his sword to meet the deadly fire stick.
"I'm lying, let go!"
The blind child said lazily and changed the move in his hand.
The fire stick suddenly twisted into a black shadow, and like a nimble snake, it brushed past the sword.
An extremely ingenious force flowed through the sword to Sect Master Qian's hand.
He could not hold the sword anymore.
"No!"
Sect Master Qian blurted out.
The long sword spun and flew out. With a "whoosh" sound, it was inserted into a tree tens of meters away.
Everyone was motionless.
In the blink of an eye, countless spiritual consciousnesses swept over Sect Master Qian.
Dead silence.
The river water surged, and the wind blew continuously.
The Grand Elder sighed and walked out. He cupped his fists and said, "The evil man is in power, and my sect doesn't know about it. Many thanks to the two divination experts for seeing the future and stopping this calamity for my sect."
"Well said, well said. I only hope that we can bury the hatchet," the old Daoist said with a smile.
"The disciples of the Eight Immortals Restaurant are blind, greedy for worldly fame and wealth. They deserve to die for offending someone like you," the Grand Elder said.
"We just did a good divination and found out where your sect master was imprisoned. Hurry up and save him. He was poisoned by the person he trusted the most, and needs to be detoxified regularly," Liu Ping said.
The Grand Elder gestured behind him.
A few hundred meters away, the cultivators soared into the sky and headed towards the location that the master and disciple had divined.
"In that case, we don't owe each other anything. Farewell," the old Daoist cupped his fists.
The Grand Elder's eyes flickered.
"The sect's scandals are not to be told to outsiders. Please don't spread it."
The old Daoist laughed. "Of course, we won't spout nonsense."
The blind child at the side casually tossed over a jade stone.
The Grand Elder caught it, and saw a line of words written on the jade stone.
"34 years later, at the West Mountain Jade Terrace, the Heavenly Tribulation will arrive. We will meet with this jade stone."
The Grand Elder was surprised. "What does this mean?"
Liu Ping yawned, tied the fire stick back to his back, and said casually, "I just calculated the date of your Heavenly Tribulation. You only have a 30% chance of passing. When the time comes, use this jade stone to find me at the designated location. I will calculate for you again to see if you pass successfully."
"34 years? I originally planned to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation 30 years later. Why did it become 34 years? "The Grand Elder asked.
"You are going to have a great-grandchild 30 years later. In a moment of joy, coupled with the fact that you are not confident, you pushed it back by three years," Liu Ping said.
The Grand Elder thought about it silently.
It seemed to be true!
It was as if there was a huge hand that was leading everything in the direction that the blind child had mentioned.
The Heavenly Dao was unpredictable.
Asking for divinations.
At that moment, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable admiration in his heart.
The Grand Elder's expression changed continuously. Finally, he kept the jade stone carefully in his storage bag and said solemnly,
"I'll have to trouble the two of you when the time comes."
"You're welcome. We're not doing it for free. You can get a 20% discount with the jade stone," Liu Ping said with a smile.
The old Daoist kept his pipe and cupped his fists. "See you again."
The Grand Elder cupped his fists. "See you again!"
He glanced behind him.
Instantly, a few cultivators stepped forward and restrained Sect Master Qian and his wife.
"Hmph! Take them away! "
The Grand Elder instructed and flew into the sky, taking the lead to leave.
The remaining cultivators escorted the pair of ducks and flew into the sky, leaving this place.
The old Daoist and Liu Ping watched them leave together.
After a long time.
Until there were no more auras in the sky and no streams of light could be seen.
The master and disciple duo suddenly sat on the ground at the same time.
Liu Ping first counted with his fingers before letting out a long breath and muttering, "Master, we have passed the Death Tribulation."
The old Daoist cursed, "Damn it, that old fart wanted to kill us just now to silence us. He was afraid that we would talk about the scandal of his sect. A bunch of ungrateful bastards!"
Liu Ping sneered. "His own life is more important after all. He is still waiting for us to save him 34 years later."
The old Daoist was still cursing until his saliva flew everywhere. The surrounding beasts quietly distanced themselves.
"Stop cursing. You have to help me accumulate karma, alright? By the way, how are your injuries?" Liu Ping asked.
"It was not easy for me to recover a little. Just now, I blocked that woman's full force attack for you. Now, all my meridians are trembling!" The old Man said as he looked at the beasts.
Deer blood was not bad.
Bear paws would do too.
He had to get something nutritious to eat!
He calculated silently and his eyes gradually lit up.
"Don't think about it. I'll go catch two fish and grill them for you," Liu Ping stood up and said.
"Alright, hurry up. I'm hungry," The old Daoist priest said bitterly.
