Chapter 35: First Nascent Soul Falls! (Last chapter for New Year!)
Shu Yidan walked step by step with an eerie grace, as if he was an existence that had transcended mortality. The dominating momentum paired with the murderous intent in his eyes was enough to make Elder Wang freeze in place.
Shu Yidan's eyes were cold as he summoned eight brightly colored paper talismans from his spatial ring. With an elegant sweep of his hands, they flew into the sky like flying birds. Streams of light emanated from them, and they merged together to form a domain of flickering colors, sealing off Elder Wang and Shu Yidan away from eyes of the world.
"Not being able to use a Domain is the worst. Burning talismans to replicate the power of a totem's skills for five minutes… I need to quickly get to that Totem legacy ground and get started with cultivating totems already." Shu Yidan freely spoke, he had sealed off the space with a Talisman Domain after all. No one could snoop in without breaking it.
He had used a spell to keep his speech hidden but it was too tiring. And he couldn't use Divine Sense to communicate either…
Frozen in fear, Elder Wang blustered, "Y-you are the Sect Master's disciple Shu Yidan? Won't your master be angry if you just kill off an Elder of his Sect?"
"I secretly took Duan Shanwei as my lover and officially planned on taking her as a concubine after completing secluded cultivation, but External Elder Wang took a liking to her. So I angrily broke out of seclusion and came to take my woman back… Stupid as it seems, this my excuse. My Dao Companion made it up on the spot, how clever of her." With a grin, Shu Yidan replied.
"I am willing to cede Duan Shanwei back to you! I'll give you everything I have! Just let me leave!" Panicking, Elder Wang began negotiations with a fearful tone.
"Oh, abandoned that trash son of yours already, huh? What a worthless father. With whom did you have that son of yours in the first place? No proper White Lotus cultist will bear the child of a sniveling coward like you…" Shu Yidan's words were biting.
"After I got out of that hellhole, I met a comely looking rich daughter of a merchant. I had Wang Qin with her…" Elder Wang unknowingly ran his tongue. His face turned purple like a eggplant when he finished speaking, hastily trying to unravel the spell that forced him to answer.
"After being abused to death in the White Lotus Cult by those crazy women, your guts blew up once you escaped outside, raping as you please, huh? That son of yours thought that he was the descendent of a true disciple of the sect, huh? You know, runaways are pretty rare and you've broken through to Nascent Soul as well. Selling you back will net me a pretty sum." Shu Yidan spoke words that turned Elder Wang paler.
"Haha, worthless trash! You know, I found you out and what you were seeking in the Sect a long time ago. I thought I would take action after you obtained that item, but the girl you were refining into a Human Cauldron turned out to be the lover of my Dao Companion. So you have to go now." Sighing, Shu Yidan said this.
Shu Yidan wasn't attacking because he wanted to freely mock this trash before destroying his memories to cover up this conversation. Elder Wang wasn't attacking because the thought of attacking couldn't even cross his mind!
"Y-you, have some respect for the Elderly and be kind to those weaker than you! Didn't you learn of the classics of Confucius and Gautama Buddha?!" Hearing the incoherent statement, Shu Yidan started laughing. A lowly rapist was trying to appeal to him with virtue?!
"The Master Confucius says, the way of virtue is to be filial to your parents and be respectful to the elderly, gain education by studying as a scholar and seek fortune under officialdom.
The Buddha says, the way of virtue is to be kind and benevolent to all living beings and walk the middle way without stepping onto extremes." Shu Yidan's words seemed like he was reciting the gist of the classics.
"I am 800 years old today! Spare this elder and you will have a lifetime of virtue!" Hearing Shu Yidan's words, the old rapist thought that he would be forgiven.
"…The Daoist says, the way of virtue is Wu Wei. It means to act wholly in accordance to the Dao. It also means to let things take their own course, inaction. You piece of trash, why did you infiltrate this sect of mine and force me to take action?" Saying this, Shu Yidan flicked his fingers and eight talisman papers flew and stuck onto the old man's skin. The power of his potent Nascent Soul was immediately suppressed into his mortal body. The fat old man fell unconscious on the ground.
"…Ah, acting dominating like that was refreshing. True Immortal aura froze that bastard's thoughts so he couldn't even imagine being able to attack me, defend against me or escape from me. But that is more due to him being a worthless piece of trash. A mortal teen with some guts could stand up against it…" Sighing at how worthless a person could be, Shu Yidan flicked some paper talismans to reinforce the seals.
Using a few spells, he wiped out all memories of the past few minutes from the fatass's skull. The White Lotus buying this trash for a cultivation aide didn't need to know shit about him.
Elder Wang was done. Feng Shiyao's master would come next. After having the two safely locked up in his cultivation residence, he would scour their souls of their memories and hunt down their collaborators if any. He hoped to find traces of 'Protagonist' #1, Zhang Dufu.
After finding his whereabouts if possible, he would make some preparations and leave to take the inheritance from the Totem legacy ground.
The Talisman Domain that obscured the short conversation disappeared, and Shu Yidan was revealed standing with Elder Wang fallen on the side.
Xiaoyi stood on the side of the limbless and flailing Wang Qin. His mouth had been shut closed with a seal.
Duan Shanwei stood beside Feng Shiyao, looking at each other without speaking a word. Communicating wordlessly with Divine Sense.
The Qi Refining disciples sat in their seiza posture, still shocked at the spectacle.
"Elder Wang and his sons turned out to be traitors to the Sect. During my seclusion, they tried to lay their filthy hands on my woman, Duan Shanwei. So naturally, they ended up like this.
…Anyway, Dao Lecture is cancelled, so you can enjoy your free time. Run off now, you brats." Hearing Shu Yidan address them like a bunch of snot-nosed children, the variably aged Qi Refining disciples didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Nevertheless, they quickly got up from their seiza posture, respectfully greeted him and scrammed as fast as they could.
With a casual gesture, a few paper talismans flashed to bandage up Wang Qin's wounds. Shu Yidan took his chopped off limbs into a spare spatial ring. Finally, he took out two gunnysacks and dumped the father and son inside one each.
"Shiyao, your Master is next on the list. But before that, you will have to take these guys up to Azurewind Peak for imprisonment." Shu Yidan spoke with a tone of indifference.
"Yay, you are the best! Wait, what do you mean I have to haul up these gunny bags up to Azurewind Peak?! That fatass will unbalance me if I use the flying spell!" Feng Shiyao said with indignance.
"Well, I and Xiaoyi don't cultivate body refinement, your girlfriend seems like she will fall unconscious anytime soon and thus… too bad, Shiyao, you seem the person most suited for this task!" Shu Yidan's smile had a hint of schadenfreude.
"That guy… I know he is doing this to punish me for secretly taking Duan Shanwei as a bed companion… But why is he so pissed? Our agreement was that she would join him as a concubine anyway! We are Dao Companions after all, what's mine is his and what's his is mine in the end…" Sighing, she summoned her beautiful butterfly wings to fly high… with the two gunnybags.
And thus, a fairylike beauty huffed and puffed as she carried two gunnysacks filled with a fat rapist and his retarded son, as Shu Yidan and the other two girls flew ahead while keeping an eye behind!
