Chapter 107: Chapter 107 What is Manslaughter?_i

Translator: 549690339 |

Has the black robed man grown timid?

Li Cheng was somewhat surprised, “Which tribulation’s Loose Immortal are you?”

“Eighteenth tribulation!” the black robed man said, his face filled with reluctance.

“Just like your ancestor!” Li Cheng turned his head to Feng Wanli, and without waiting for a reply, he continued, “An Eighteenth Tribulation Loose Immortal, why so cowardly?”

Living for over ten thousand years, in Li Cheng’s eyes, should make one a tough bone to chew.

Yet this fellow, upon hearing soul-searching was to be used, volunteered information before it even began.

“A man can be killed but not humiliated! What do you really want to know?” the black robed man snapped.

Li Cheng’s face wore a smile. This was probably the strongest tone used to speak the wimpiest words.

“Who is your main body?” Li Cheng asked.

The black robed man looked confused, “What main body?”

Li Cheng threw the man’s storage ring to Feng Wanli, “Find the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal.”

Feng Wanli inspected the storage ring and indeed found it inside.

The Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, it was still there.

Upon sensing the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal, Feng Wanli was shocked, “This guy is actually not an incarnation!”

Li Cheng also felt with the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal and truly, there was no connection between it and the black robed man.

This was strange!

“You assassinated him, why?” Li Cheng inquired.

The black robed man glanced at Feng Wanli and said, “He is from the Lower World, surely carrying good things from the Immortal World. I assassinated him, obviously for the treasure.”

Not because of the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal? Feng Wanli’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Regarding the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, tell us everything you know!” Feng Wanli demanded.

The black robed man frowned, “The Ten Thousand Evils Cave is so mysterious, how would I know? You don’t think I’m one of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, do you?”

“Quibbling? If you’re not one of them, then why did you kill those two to silence them?” Feng Wanli pointed at Bai Tieyi and the old Sect Master.

“It wasn’t to silence them, it’s just that they were from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave! The Ten Thousand Evils Cave is our common enemy. Since I encountered them, of course I had to kill!” the black robed man declared righteously.

Li Cheng shook his head, “I’d better search your soul. This guy’s lies are untrustworthy.”

“Exactly, he doesn’t go after the many Loose Immortals of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, but instead he comes after those two. Indeed, he cannot be trusted,” Feng Wanli nodded in agreement.

“Don’t, I’m telling the truth. I am just an ordinary Loose Cultivator, with an irreconcilable hatred for the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. Don’t search my soul!”

Soul-searching is very risky unless there’s a great disparity in cultivation.

This was the first time Li Cheng was performing it, certainly not confident, and the worst outcome would be the disintegration of the man’s soul.

Without another word, Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense surged as he began the soul- searching.

After half an hour, Li Cheng withdrew his Spiritual Sense, feeling a bit dizzy in the head, and only after channeling the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture did he feel a bit better.

“How was it?” Feng Wanli asked eagerly.

Li Cheng looked at Feng Wanli, “I feel like you’re setting me up. Turns out, soul-searching isn’t all that pleasant!”

Regarding the Eighteenth Tribulation Loose Immortal, his Nascent Soul swayed unsteadily like a drunkard, no doubt feeling as if his world was spinning.

“Lucky for him, his soul did not scatter, or else I would have wrongly killed him,” Li Cheng added.

Feng Wanli raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean ‘wrongly killed’? He destroyed my body, remember?”

“That’s true, then I’ll leave him to you to deal with,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

“No, the point is the result of your soul-searching!” Feng Wanli urged.

Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, “He’s indeed not a person from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. He comes from a major sect in the Central Continent, and he arrived over a thousand years ago. He’s done his fair share of robbing and plundering.”

Feng Wanli became more and more puzzled as he listened, “The cultivation conditions in the Central Continent are much better than here. Why did he come here to do what?”

“He had an affair with their Sect Master’s Dao companion and was chased by the entire sect, so he fled to the Southern Domain. Don’t worry about it, I’ll leave him to you to deal with.”

“You’d better handle it properly, otherwise, if his sect ever finds a clue, that could be bad!”

Through soul searching, Li Cheng saw that the guy’s sect was powerful, far surpassing the top ten sects in the Southern Domain.

So, since he was passing the buck to Feng Wanli, it was still necessary to give him a heads-up.

Feng Wanli looked at Li Cheng speechlessly. How could he not know that Li Cheng was dumping this on him?

But what of it? This guy destroyed his physical body. How could he not take revenge?

Li Cheng did not concern himself with how Feng Wanli would deal with the man, but flew towards the Heaven Secret Courtyard.

“Little Shishu (Junior Martial Uncle)!” Mu Xingzhi and the others came up to greet him.

Li Cheng nodded slightly, “Have those two said anything?”

Mu Xingzhi sighed, “They joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave and took the oath of the Heavenly Dao, so they haven’t said anything.”

Li Cheng was secretly amazed. How many benefits did the Ten Thousand Evils Cave offer them for them to swear an oath of the Heavenly Dao?

“Little Shishu, may I take full responsibility for dealing with them?” Mu Xingzhi asked again.

Li Cheng nodded, not asking how he intended to deal with them. After all, he was the Sect Master, and he didn’t want to meddle too much in sect affairs.

“Master!” Lei Yuan, with his eyes wrapped in black cloth, bowed respectfully.

“Just in time, Sect Master, there’s something I need to discuss with you!”

Li Cheng casually set up a Sound Isolation Array to envelop the three of them, then said, “Sect Master, have a look at my fourth disciple.”

“Did he injure his eyes? Don’t worry, Little Shishu, I’ll find the best Healing Pill for his treatment right away,” Mu Xingzhi said.

Li Cheng chuckled, “That’s not the point. The point is his physique.”

Mu Xingzhi looked at him skeptically for a moment, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

But he knew his little Shishu would definitely not be joking with him, so he activated the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, ready to probe with the Heaven Secret Technique.

As soon as he started, he seemed to have discovered something, his expression immediately turning to surprise, gradually becoming overjoyed!

“Little Shishu, I understand now. I’ll pass on the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll to him right away!” Mu Xingzhi joyfully said.

As soon as he activated the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, he sensed the special nature of Lei Yuan’s body, exactly the type of physique recorded by the founding Ancestor Master. How could he not understand? This was the perfect candidate for practicing the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll!

“However, Little Shishu, once he cultivates the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, he will become a future Sect Master, and his daily life must be at the Heaven Secret Peak. This is the rule set by the founding Ancestor Master,” Mu Xingzhi telepathically said.

Li Cheng pondered for a moment before replying, “That doesn’t affect the fact that he is my disciple, does it?”

Mu Xingzhi also fell silent. By right, the lineage of the Sect Master was always passed down from one generation to the next, but Little Shishu clearly did not want to let go of his disciple.

This meant that Lei Yuan would not be Mu Xingzhi’s disciple, but his junior martial brother.

This seemed not to be violating any rules.

Realizing this, Mu Xingzhi nodded, “It doesn’t affect.”

Li Cheng smiled, “Then that’s settled. When he is free, he can come to the Eighteenth Peak. It doesn’t matter much where he lives on ordinary days.”

Mu Xingzhi was naturally overjoyed, as he had yet to find a successor for the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll. Now, at last, he had one.

And a successor with the most suitable special physique for cultivating the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll. Given time, he was sure to greatly develop the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll!

While they were speaking, strong figures from various major sects were converging toward the Heaven Secret Courtyard.

Li Cheng withdrew the Sound Isolation Array, “The important figures from various major sects have arrived. It seems there’s something they need to discuss. You go ahead and deal with that first. Finish that before you pass on the technique.”

Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “They must be here to visit Little Shishu, and they must need something from Little Shishu, too!”
