Chapter 112: Each Explains Their Reasons, Smoke Disperses and Clouds Scatter

  "In the mountains, girls are scarce, and I'm starving, so I came down early to find some fun. But how did you end up looking like that? If I recall correctly, even the most vicious and ruthless Qi practitioners from your sect would at least make themselves look presentable, unlike you who looks like a dark and ominous cloud that inspires fear." The Great Monk of Golden Peak looked at Wang Guang with a strange expression, carefully sizing him up.

  "You're willing to be a poor Daoist in this state? It's all because of the trouble caused by this treasure." Wang Guang sneered, shaking the long banner in his hand. Black smoke rolled and pink mist filled the air, revealing two naked women struggling and wailing on the banner, looking extremely evil and strange. "Tell me, how did you use the name of the One Qi Sect? And you haven't even become a Dan Master, how can you establish a branch sect here?"

  "Maitreya Buddha! Everyone has their own fate, what you can't get I can get, and what I can't get you can get." The greedy eyes of the Golden Summit monk glanced at the long fan in Wang Guang's hand, and he suddenly sighed: "Originally, this poor monk lived a carefree and happy life in the secret room built by you and me. Every day, I would tease the little girls, practice dual cultivation skills, no one to manage us, no tasks to do, it was truly leisurely."

  He said, "I went to the outer disciples' place to find a little girl to discuss the mysteries of the human body and study the way in and out. Who would have thought that the little girl had a lover? He was very fierce and beat me up so badly that I couldn't escape anywhere. I ran away and accidentally got caught by an alchemist, who took me as his apprentice and taught me some dual cultivation techniques. In the end, he kicked me out of the mountain gate and told me to find something for him."

  "Really? And then?" Wang Guang saw the evil monk stop here and hurriedly asked.

  "And then I arrived here." The evil monk put on an innocent look, which made Wang Guang so angry that he almost jumped up and beat him.

  "You use the name of the One Qi Sect to open a sect door, is this also what Master Dan let you do?"

  "It's almost there"

  "Ah, Master Dan asked me to find something, but this Qi-practicing world is boundless and endless, where can I possibly find it? So, I came up with a plan. In Jinzhou, I established a sect, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people helped me search for it. This is much better than searching alone." The evil monk shook his head and smiled smugly: "Jinzhou is prosperous, when I first arrived, it gave me quite a shock. Wherever you go, you can encounter sects, later I found out that in this place, opening a sect doesn't matter whether you're a Dan Master or not, as long as you can maintain the sect, no one will bother you. Haha! Why don't you also come and establish a sect? I just thought of a name for you, let's call it Qian Dao Sect, what do you think?"

  "Absurd." Listening to the evil monk's words, Wang Guang coldly snorted and didn't reason with him.

  The evil monk hehe smiled a few times, and then asked about Wang Guang's affairs. Wang Guang thought for a moment, and then briefly told the story of how he came here. "Bald donkey, you shouldn't be messing around here either. Why not follow me to pursue and kill our enemies?"

  "I won't go. I won't go, this poor monk still has to complete the task of Dan Shi, and besides, the scenery here is beautiful, with countless people serving me, why should I follow you to suffer and eat bitterness outside in the wind and sun? If I say I won't go, then I won't go." The evil monk shook his big head like a rattle drum, refusing to follow Wang Guang to pursue and kill their enemy.

  "You bald donkey, how can you be so spineless? We're all survivors of the bloody abyss. Which one of us isn't ruthless and bloodthirsty? Now that you've become a monk, do you really think you're being true to yourself? We cultivators from the abyss should be wielding our treasured swords, freely slaughtering everything in sight, and reveling in our unparalleled power. How can we be cooped up in one place playing the role of a carefree old man?"

  No matter how much Wang Guang tried to persuade him, the monk remained unmoved. Finally, the demon master could no longer suppress his anger and picked up a long banner, planning to surround the mountain city: "Today you have to go, whether you want to or not, otherwise I will destroy this mountain city and make you a lonely sect leader."

  The evil monk saw Wang Guang holding the long banner and preparing to swing it, so he grabbed his arm and shouted: "You little devil, don't you want your life? There are over a million people in this mountain gate. If you exterminate them all, after you achieve the golden elixir or in a hundred years, you will definitely end up with no bones left."

  Wang Guang saw that the monk was serious and didn't dare to be slow, so he hastily asked: "What's going on?"

  "In the past, you haven't forgotten the dark clouds pressing down on you, have you?!" The evil monk saw Wang Guang nodding and continued: "This humble monk met that Dan Master after the dark clouds pressed down. The Dan Master told this humble monk to kill fewer living beings, because from then on, anyone who achieved Golden Elixir would suffer a series of disasters including lightning strikes, strong winds, and fires; Moreover, there is a great prophecy that says ordinary Qi cultivators will experience another Dark Clouds Pressing Down every hundred years. If they have killed too many during this period, the power of the dark clouds will surge violently. This humble monk doesn't want to see you end up with no bones left."

  Wang Guangyi couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, but then he tossed it aside: "A hundred years is too long, I don't know if I can live that long. The golden elixir is too far away, and I don't know if it can be condensed. I'm just taking things one day at a time, doing what I want to do without worrying about the future. People like you who are always looking over their shoulders really get on my nerves. I have no idea how you had the guts to mess around in the bloody depths back then."

  "Maitreya Buddha! Wait a moment, I'll gather some people and we'll go with you to kill that little brat." The evil monk meditated for a long time, then said a Buddhist mantra and turned back into the Eight Treasure Purple Gold Pagoda.

  King Guang was delighted in his heart, but he didn't show it.

  In a short while, over a thousand beautiful women came out of the pagoda. These women all stood crying at the entrance of the pagoda and refused to leave. Some clever ones saw Wang Guang standing there leisurely and hurriedly knelt down in front of him, begging him to help speak for them and ask the evil monk not to abandon them.

  "Hurry up and disperse, all of you have learned the law, focus on practicing your energy, it's possible to achieve the Golden Elixir, and even more likely to become a Yuan Shen master"

  Why cry and beg for others' protection? A practitioner relies on himself, not others. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless and capturing you with the long banner." Wang Guang knew what these women were thinking, he detested their lack of a practitioner's mindset, and shook the long banner as if to kill them.

  Those women saw that on his long banner there was a black smoke rolling, two women were inlaid on it and wailed in pain, they were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly and did not dare to come before him to pray.

  Wang Guang watched as the women cried and made a scene, while the evil monk who had entered the Eight Treasures Purple Golden Tower called out to his friends to gather around. Before long, seven or eight male and female Qi Practitioners came over after learning that he planned to leave and help someone take revenge. The other Qi Practitioners all pretended not to know about this matter and didn't come over.

  "Alright, alright! As long as someone is with me, I'm satisfied. At least it's not like that kid outside who's all alone. Looking at the several Qi-practitioners gathered from various levels of the treasure tower, the evil monk couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion."

  "Golden Summit, drive away those who don't come to help! You helped them so much in the past, but now that you have something going on, they don't even show up. It's infuriating!" Among the gathered Qi cultivators was a woman with a golden hairpin, wearing a white palace dress, with delicate features and a curvaceous figure, making her a beauty. At first glance, she seemed gentle and weak, but her words made people feel a killing intent. "If it really doesn't work out, let's join forces and slaughter them all, using their lives to repay the kindness you showed them back then."

  On the side, there were also two or three practitioners who spoke out in support, all of whom had been helped by the evil monk.

  "There are over a hundred Qi-practicing monks in the treasure tower, but seven or eight of them want to slaughter all of them, not even showing any mercy. Besides, when I helped them back then, it was just out of whim, and I didn't have any extravagant expectations. As long as they don't scheme against this poor monk, this poor monk won't bother with them either." The evil monk took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Follow me, and let you see the demonic Daoist who used to hang out with this poor monk back then."

  The others nodded in agreement and followed the evil monk down from the Eight Treasures Purple Golden Tower to meet Wang Guang. The demon dao also sincerely thanked these people for helping him take revenge: "Everyone, just because of this intention, if there is anything in the future, just tell me, I will definitely help you like you helped me today."

  On the side, the evil monk couldn't bear Wang Guang's hypocrisy and pointed at the Ba Bao Zi Jin Tower with his hand: "There are still over a hundred Qi practitioners inside, it seems they don't want to leave. What method do you have to destroy this treasure tower? I, a poor monk, don't want something I built myself to be occupied by others for nothing."

  Wang Guang nodded, and while waiting, he had carefully examined the treasure tower in front of him, so he quickly nodded and said: "This is simple, you all go to the back and watch me show my skills." After speaking, he tucked the long banner into his waist and opened his mouth to spit out a copper pellet the size of a grain of rice.

  This copper ball swelled up in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it changed into a millstone size. There were flames burning around it, and the air was crackling with a loud noise, which was quite frightening.

  The Taoist pointed his hand at the tip of the pagoda, and saw that the millstone flew to the top of the tower, spinning down to grind.

  The eight-treasured purple gold pagoda had long been sealed off by the evil monk's defensive spell, so the copper sand rotated and polished the treasure tower as easily as crushing beans. The millstone fell, and all the stone and wood turned into flying ash. A group of Qi-refining monks rushed out of the pagoda in a panic. They saw the evil monk standing below, looked slightly embarrassed for a moment, then turned around and flew away without looking back.

  The women who were driven out by the evil monks, seeing that the precious tower where they had lived for many years was destroyed, suddenly lost all hope and walked out of the mountain city with their heads hung low. As for whether they would find a powerful person to rely on or struggle to become a loose cultivator themselves, it was not something that people like Wang Guang would consider.
