Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 550: Do Not Judge a Book From Its Cover
All visions disappeared from the sky, as well as powerful and frightening fluctuations, leaving a cool breeze behind him.
It was nightfall again, silent and cold.
Tian Yu was still hovering in the sky with a coin stuck between his eyebrows. He remained motionless and did not blink. He could feel the cracks in his body getting wider and deeper. His body became so fragile that with a small movement, he could be completely destroyed and carried away by the wind.
Naturally, he did not want to die yet. How did it all end like this? Victory was within his grasp, how could it end up like this? Also, what's up with Ultimate Chaos Treasure? That's very strange. How can it change the channel without asking?
“It was a coin I used to make a request.” Qin Chuyue looked at the coin in a daze, her eyes full of disbelief. “Does... Sea of Suffering help us?”
“That's the expert who helped us!” the Correction Qin Zhongshan. He clearly knew the Sea of Suffering had not changed for a thousand years. There was nothing in this world that could create ripples on its surface so it was impossible for the sea to help them.
But. It could choose not to entertain anyone but its experts. The expert did not provide any help from the start except to lend them a TV that connected them to the Sea of Suffering. The most important thing was that the Sea of Suffering was many worlds away from the Area of the Gods, yet he was able to cross endless chaos to reverse the law of karma. Tian Yu's life was bought with a coin that Qin Chuyue threw into the sea.
The life of the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, who was at the peak of his strength and was filled with Heavenly power, could be purchased with just coins? No one's ever gonna believe that.
Qin Zhongshan and the rest of the group stared at the unmoving Tian Yu with mixed feelings. They are suddenly fascinated by the impermanence of everything — surprised to be found anywhere if one looks hard enough.
Tian Yu stared back at them. He wanted to ask them ‘why’ but found himself unable to open his mouth.
“Left press asked me to come for a good show. He kept his promise,” said a voice that came out from the night sky. His laughter echoed in the air.
After which, black energy gathered in the air and turned into a black-robed man. He looked down on the group of the Empath Sect and continued in a mocking tone. “Using Tian Yu as a pawn to capture the three Golden Gods Chaos Daluo is precious.”
Accidents never come alone.
Everyone's heart sank into fear.
Qin Zhongshan looked at the black-robed man. “Who are you?” he asked carefully.
The black-robed man giggled uneasily. “I? I am your master from now on and you will all be my guinea pig.”
Qin Zhongshan felt his mouth numb from the cold. “Ministry?” he asked seriously.
The ministry is well known among the Chaos circles. The word evokes the disgusting — street rat image but there is nothing you can do against them.
They are active in Chaos and have a finger on all the world trends. They can be found at every corner and plotted from behind the scenes. One must be very careful not to fall into their trap.
What makes them even more disgusting is that everyone has reached an unspoken agreement that they would rather die with their own hands than be captured by the Ministry. They all knew that being captured alive would be a punishment worse than death.
Without saying anything more, everyone from the Empath Sect activated their magical aura with their thoughts at the same time — not to rebel but to end their own lives.
However, at the next moment, all of their faces suddenly changed at the same time — as if their magical aura had frozen them in place and only silence could be heard.
“Never think of ending your own life. Only I can decide if and when you will stay alive,” the black-robed man said.
A black fog started rising from the ground under their feet and turned into a cage, trapping everyone inside. This caused them to fall into despair.
The black-robed man must have been extremely strong, judging from his aura. Although he was not as strong as Tian Yu when he was at his peak, he was very close. There was no chance they could defeat him in their current condition. Not to mention they would never be able to defeat him even when they were all in peak condition.
If given the option to be killed by Tian Yu or captured by the Ministry of — they would choose the first one.
The black-robed man admired his work. “The opportunity to capture three Golden Gods Chaos Daluo in one go does not come often. The most important thing is..” He turned his gaze towards the TV and the excitement of dancing on his face. He had to pinch himself to believe it was real. “What am I seeing? The Supreme Treasures of Chaos? Looks like none of you will use it anymore so it's mine now!”
He could not believe his luck in finding the rare Ultimate Chaos Treasure. It was difficult to control his emotions even with his trained mental state. Lady Luck had to be by her side to be favored by the Gods.
“You can't have it. It belongs to an expert. Watch my advice to control your greed, ” Qin Zhong shan said.
“I can't believe you'd say something like this,” said the black-robed man scoffing. “You are not in a position to tell me what to do. It's mine now!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The black-robed man's expression froze slightly and a chill suddenly entered his heart. His heavenly consciousness did not detect the presence of newcomers, meaning that newcomers were definitely very strong.
A chill flashed in his eyes, he straightened his figure, raised his hand and put down some tactics around him, quietly waiting for the arrival of the newcomer.
Under everyone's gaze, three voices belonging to three long shadows could be seen appearing under the moonlight. Little by little, they became closer.
Two women showed up. One as white as moonlight, majestic and holy, emitted a faint light. The other was red like fire, her long hair was flying, burning so brightly that one had to take her eyes off.
Among them stood a man who looked ordinary. You could say he was just an ordinary man.
The black-robed man automatically ignored the man as he felt a threatening aura coming out from the two women.
Gulp down!
Qin Zhongshan and the rest of the group gulped at the same time. They looked at the three figures with hope shining in their eyes. ‘That's the expert!’ they cry in their hearts.
Li Nianfan had originally tried the Double Flying Stone with Daji and Fire Phoenix. They had fun and even unleashed spells stored within the stone on some low-level demons to test his strength.
He was quite satisfied with the result when he heard the huge commotion here and out of curiosity, came to check on him.
Li Nianfan gripped the Double Flying Stone even tighter, still feeling extremely excited. He explicitly instructed Daji and Fire Phoenix not to interfere if the situation got out of hand because he wanted to use the Double Flying Stone.
Finally, the three of them found out what happened as they got closer to the scene. The Empath Sect had been trapped in a black cage and was signaling help with their eyes. They will scream for help if they can.
Standing above the black age was a black-robed man. It doesn't take much to guess correctly he's the villain in this situation.
The black-robed man coldly looked at Li Nianfan which made him panic a little. That villain must be extremely strong if he could trap the Empath Sect inside the cage. Not to mention the black robe certainly adds to its appeal. Li Nianfan had to be careful in dealing with him.
Suddenly, the black-robed man pointed his finger at the three newcomers. “Three of you..”
Li Nianfan's heart surged violently as he thought the black-robed man was activating an attack. Acting according to the principle of taking the first strike, Li Nianfan activated the Double Flying Stone with his mind and a fireball appeared, lighting up the sky.
The flame turned into a golden Fire Phoenix. It walked through the night and led straight to the black-robed man with a screech.
The black-robed man was momentarily startled by the extremely powerful flames. ‘What is going on? Did he seriously pull out a big gun on the first strike?’ he thinks. ‘More, I should have been more careful of ordinary humans than those two women.
He quickly reacted with a cold scorn. He raised his hand and his black robe swirled around his body and turned into a protective wall.
‘Wait a minute! There's something strange about the fire,’ thought. His heart rate is getting louder. He sensed that an imminent disaster would befall him.
All the feathers on his body stood up and the coldness that struck his heart gave him goosebumps.
‘I won't make it. The flame will devour me!’ he thinks.
He wanted to run but it was too late. The fire phoenix became even bigger under his frightened and helpless gaze. There was a very, very, very frightening aura coming from the fire phoenix.
‘How could this possibly happen? Isn't he a regular human being?’ he asked himself.
Whooshing sound!
The fire burned his protective cloak like it was made of paper. But the fire phoenix did not stop there as it continued to fly around the black-robed man.
Until there's nothing left in his place.
The black-robed man did not even have a chance to shout before evaporating into thin air. The air lingered with his mind in disbelief and anger.
‘I have underestimated you!’
