Chapter 59: Kill You
“Senior Brother!”
Ning Xiaoxiao followed right after and supported Lou Yunxiao.
The four Sect Masters also protected the two, looking at Ning Ke with faces full of dread.
“With us here, don’t even think about attacking the Lou family again!”
Ning Ke didn’t back down either.
The fingers gripping the fan tightened, his eyes leaving only Lou Yunxiao and Ning Xiaoxiao.
During this period, he hadn’t paid much attention to the movements in the secret realm.
He only knew that Ning Xiaoxiao and Lou Yunxiao had advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage and Deity Transformation Stage respectively.
He didn’t know they came out of the secret realm today, nor that they followed the four Sect Masters to Ning Family Village.
So, when he first saw Lou Yunxiao, he was shocked.
This was also his first confrontation with Lou Yunxiao as a villain since the time regression.
He knew.
If he wanted to keep his disguise intact, he had to be ruthless enough.
To play the role of this enemy with all his might.
Thinking of this, he curled his lips and replied, “Whose life I, Ning Ke, want has never been decided by you ants.”
His gaze bypassed the four Sect Masters and met Lou Yunxiao’s eyes.
His smile deepening: “If I remember correctly, your name is Lou Yunxiao, right?”
“Three years.”
“Not a bit of progress.”
“It’s really…”
“You don’t even have the qualification to fight me.”
“How boring.”
Lou Yunxiao’s pupils trembled. Gripping the Cangyin Sword tightly, his eyes fixed dead on Ning Ke, a mix of powerlessness and surging fury swirling in his heart.
He had already cultivated to the Deity Transformation Stage, so why couldn’t he even withstand one move from Ning Ke!
Junior Brother gave him this pair of eyes to let him see his enemy’s face clearly, to let him cultivate faster, and to make him strong!
Yet in front of Ning Ke, he was still like an ant, completely powerless to resist!
He hated!
He wanted to kill Ning Ke!
He wanted revenge!
Along his journey, he lost his cultivation, lost his Golden Core, lost his eyes, and even lost the person he loved!
He was unwilling!
Unwilling to just be mocked by Ning Ke like this, without even being able to hurt the other party!
“Senior Brother?” Sensing Lou Yunxiao’s condition wasn’t right, Ning Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, the Yao Venerable’s cultivation is too strong. Leave this place to the Sect Masters, let’s retreat to the back.”
But she was pushed away by Lou Yunxiao.
Lou Yunxiao stood up, his eyes so red they almost dripped blood. One hand held Cangyin, while the other drew the Hongyun Sword.
“Kill you…”
His hair at the temples was disheveled, and demonic energy and spiritual energy fluctuated wildly around him.
Vaguely forming a vortex behind his back.
The demonic markings on his cheeks were so clear they seemed to be burning.
Indicating the extremely unstable state of their master.
He stared at Ning Ke, his voice sinister.
Repeating only one sentence.
“Kill you…”
The aura around him actually rose along with it, becoming even stronger than before.
“Yunxiao!” Gao Ze still wanted to stop him.
Hong Yao, however, said, “Heart disease requires heart medicine. This child has endured long enough. If he doesn’t vent it out, he will probably go mad.”
“Why don’t the few of us join hands and fight Ning Ke alongside him!”
Saying so, her jade-white fingers touched the pipa, and she said to Ning Ke, “Yao Venerable called us ants, but have you ever heard that a mayfly can also shake a tree? Today we shall have a contest!”
Abbot Wu Jue also said fiercely, “This old monk has long found you, this evil creature, an eyesore! Now that you’ve come to the Human Realm, don’t think about leaving!”
Ning Ke tapped his shoulder with the fan bone.
He smiled: “This is the first time I’ve seen someone speak of ganging up on people with such grand and high-sounding words.”
“But my hands are itching too, so I don’t mind playing with you guys.”
After that, he flew into the air, scanned his surroundings, and said, “It’s just that this place is too small to go all out. Let’s change places and begin.”
After speaking, without waiting for them to react, he left on his own.
Hong Yao and the others chased after him.
Gao Ze didn’t rush to follow but descended to the ground.
Looking at the little wolf covered in scars and surrounded by children, he asked, “What exactly happened here just now?”
Yin Hui was very guarded against him.
With red eyes, he bared his teeth and said, “Dog Sword Cultivator! My Lord clearly saved everyone here and burned those demonic creatures to death, yet you misunderstand him and hunt him down! Are your eyes just for show?!”
The children around Xiao Hui also hugged the wolf cub, saying, “Uncle Immortal Master, the big brother Xiao Hui called Yao Venerable is really a good person. Please don’t fight him, okay?”
At this moment, Ning Xiaoxiao, supporting her red-eyed adoptive mother, also walked up to Gao Ze.
The woman had not yet recovered from the sorrow of losing her husband, but seeing her daughter by her side brought some clarity back to her eyes.
Slowly, she recounted to Gao Ze exactly what had happened here before Ning Ke arrived.
Including Ning Ke telling them that those living dead had turned into demons and needed to be cremated, she repeated everything.
After hearing this, Gao Ze glanced toward the distance.
Suddenly remembering Ning Ke’s suggestion to move away from the village to a more open area to fight.
Could it be that this Yao Venerable was afraid of hurting these villagers that he proposed this?
After all, a battle between Tribulation Crossing Stage mighty figures could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split; these villagers would hardly survive.
Would a yao who mercilessly slaughtered so many humans before really be this kind-hearted?
“Mother, according to what you said, if Ning Ke hadn’t come, none of you would have survived the demon’s hands?” Ning Xiaoxiao couldn’t help confirming with her adoptive mother.
“That’s right.” The woman said, “That Yao Venerable hurried over, saving Xiao Hui first, and then saving us…”
Ning Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her face pale from the grief of losing her adoptive father.
But because she had already experienced so many hardships in the secret realm, her emotions were relatively stable now.
She crouched beside Xiao Hui and asked in confusion, “But how could Ning Ke, the dignified Yao Venerable who usually stays in the Yao Realm, arrive at Ning Family Village faster than us and save you?”
Yin Hui’s wolf body stiffened.
How could he dare confess to Ning Xiaoxiao that one of his Lord’s tails was exactly her A-Ke Senior Brother.
The Lord told him to keep it a secret.
If he told, the Lord would definitely not spare him!
Gao Ze also set his sights on the little wolf and said, “Could it be that Ning Ke left a sliver of divine sense on you previously?”
“…” To avoid them guessing it was A-Ke, Yin Hui hurriedly lied, “Yes, yes. When I was in the Yao Realm, I had the honor of meeting the Lord. The Lord appreciated me, so he left a sliver of divine sense on me. This time, it was also thanks to the divine sense shattering that the Lord could arrive here so quickly.”
Gao Ze frowned: “Then this time, we indeed owe your Yao Race a favor.”
He stood up and instructed Ning Xiaoxiao: “Xiaoxiao, comfort these villagers well. I will go over there to take a look.”
“Master!”
Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly called out to Gao Ze.
“I want to ask, is Ning Ke really the murderer of Eldest Senior Brother’s family?”
At this moment, Ning Xiaoxiao’s feelings were very complex.
Ning Ke saved the people of Ning Family Village, so he was her benefactor.
But Ning Ke also wiped out the Liuyun Sect, having a blood feud with Eldest Senior Brother.
This reality made it difficult for her to accept for a while.
Gao Ze turned to look at his little disciple.
He knew everything that happened in the secret realm.
A-Ke died to seal the Great Demon. Although Lou Yunxiao regained his sight, his wounds were too deep, showing signs of demonization.
And Ning Xiaoxiao, the little girl who used to play and joke around the two of them, also stopped smiling.
Now that she was out of the secret realm, she had lost a family member.
For a child of Ning Xiaoxiao’s age, it was truly too heavy a burden.
So, he stayed silent for two seconds, reached out his big hand, and gently patted Ning Xiaoxiao’s head.
Earnestly saying: “Child, we cannot make judgments without knowing the truth.”
“I have never found out the truth about the Liuyun Sect incident. So I cannot assert that it was definitely Ning Ke’s doing. But your Senior Brother’s injuries and lost eyes back then were indeed caused by him. So it’s justifiable for your Senior Brother to hate him.”
“As for you.”
“Ning Ke did you a favor. When necessary, helping him once can be considered repaying his kindness.”
“And as for the matters between your Senior Brother and Ning Ke, even if you can’t help, there’s no need to feel guilty or worried.”
“Because that is the karma between the two of them.”
“Outsiders can never interfere.”
Translator’s Note:
- Deity Transformation Stage (化神期): A major breakthrough in cultivation that follows the Nascent Soul stage.
- Pipa (琵琶): A traditional Chinese musical instrument, often resembling a lute. In cultivation novels, Music Sect disciples use it to cast illusions or attack with soundwaves.
- Mayfly shaking a tree (蜉蝣撼树): A common Chinese idiom meaning someone is overestimating their own capabilities or trying to do the impossible. Hong Yao uses it to show that even if Ning Ke considers them “ants”, they intend to fight back with all their might!
