Chapter 1924: Chapter 1923: Fermenting, Unwilling to Cultivate Immortality, Only Seeking Peace

The night was deep.

The night watchman walked along the street.

“The weather is dry, be careful of fire.”

The patrol team of the Heavenly Being clan mainly patrolled around the Great Thousand Gorge, rarely entering the gorge itself.

So as long as He Shitou was careful, nothing would happen.

Although Xu Zimei didn’t follow him, Xu Zimei’s divine soul was always watching over, guiding He Shitou.

After all, he was his savior.

If they didn’t eliminate Blade Guest Xu now, He Shitou’s life would definitely be in danger in the future.

Some people are just like that.

Trying to reform them is useless.

Blade Guest Xu lives in the Martial Performance Courtyard.

Because of Blade Guest Xu’s extraordinary status, his father was a clan elder of the Heavenly Being clan, holding very high status.

And he himself was a pinnacle strong person in the Reversion Void Realm, with many young people in the Heavenly Being clan wanting to apprentice under him and step onto the Immortal Path.

That’s why the Martial Performance Courtyard existed.

Blade Guest Xu had two disciples, his direct disciples.

Their strengths were ordinary.

One was at the peak of Qi-Refining, and the other had just entered the first level of the Reversion Void Realm.

Don’t be fooled into thinking Blade Guest Xu’s pinnacle Reversion Void Realm is not much of a difference from his disciples.

But in the backward status of the Heavenly Being clan, without resources, many people take a lifetime to break through the constraints of the Reversion Void Realm.

Like He Shitou, if it weren’t for Xu Zimei’s help, he probably couldn’t break through in his lifetime.

This is a problem of level and realm.

……

It was He Shitou’s first time killing someone.

His heart was beating rapidly, his hands clutching the long knife were sweating profusely.

He avoided the night watchman and felt his way in the dark to the Martial Performance Courtyard.

He stood by the wall, taking several deep breaths.

The face of Meng Yuqing appeared before his eyes.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to climb over the wall.

He knew he was weak and couldn’t compete against Blade Guest Xu.

If this continued, Sister Yu would sooner or later be married to Blade Guest Xu’s son.

If Blade Guest Xu’s son was a talented young man, it would be fine, but the key is that his son is arrogant and inherited his father’s shortcomings.

Lazy and bad-tempered.

If Sister Yu married him, she’d probably be ruined for life.

So tonight, He Shitou had to kill.

For himself, and for Sister Yu.

Climbing over the wall, the Martial Performance Courtyard was quite large.

Not to mention the central place for martial arts practice, there were quite a few houses alone.

Blade Guest Xu lived together with his two direct disciples.

He couldn’t find the wrong room.

If he alerted others and couldn’t kill in one strike, it would be difficult afterwards.

Xu Zimei’s voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

“Three people live in this courtyard, the rooms on the left and right should be his direct disciples, their aura isn’t strong.”

“Blade Guest Xu should be in the house in the middle, his presence is the strongest of the three.”

He Shitou nodded.

He came to the door and, following Xu Zimei’s instructions, began to set up a formation at the door.

His pace of setting up was very slow and not very practiced.

It was his first time setting up a formation in his life, if it weren’t for Xu Zimei enlightening him, he would surely fail.

Finally, the formation was successfully set up.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Gently pushed the door open and entered.

……

“Who’s there?”

Soon, a loud shout came from inside the house.

Suddenly, a figure broke through the window.

The figure had a knife in his abdomen, and his expression was panic-stricken.

As soon as he came out, the formation at the door was instantly activated.

A blazing flame shot out from within the formation.

Screams were heard.

Before Blade Guest Xu broke through the window, He Shitou’s figure had already disappeared into the dark.

The strike landed, regardless of whether Blade Guest Xu died or not, he had to escape quickly.

……

Two disciples heard Blade Guest Xu’s cries.

When they rushed out, Blade Guest Xu’s body was already charred and long silent.

The two disciples exchanged a glance.

“It’s over, this is a big deal.”

……

Dawn awakened,

Light began to envelop the land.

But the major incident that happened in the Heavenly Being clan today had already alerted the entire clan by the evening.

A clan of over four hundred people, not big but not small, either.

Even by dawn, the clan’s patrol team had searched the entire Great Thousand Gorge, even going door to door looking for suspicious people.

Unfortunately, even by dawn, nothing was found.

Early in the morning,

Meng Yuqing brought breakfast to He Shitou’s home.

She seemed to be in good spirits, humming a tune.

“Sister Yu, what’s got you so happy?” He Shitou asked with a smile, walking out of the Demon Enclosure.

“Don’t you know?

Last night, someone attacked Blade Guest Xu,” Meng Yuqing said with a smile, squinting.

“I heard he died, and the clan leader along with several clan elders are furious and are investigating the murderer.”

He Shitou’s expression was a bit unnatural.

But soon he hid it again, returning to normal.

He said, “This has nothing to do with us, we better not discuss it so we don’t end up being targeted.”

Meng Yuqing nodded.

Brought Xu Zimei’s meal over.

Asked with a smile, “How are you feeling, Brother Xu?”

“In about a month, I should be fully recovered,” Xu Zimei said.

His injuries were severe.

But the recovery was quite remarkable.

Especially as time passed, the injuries lessened and recovery quickened.

“It’s a pity for Man, just being taken as a registered disciple by Blade Guest Xu.

Having not learned much yet, the path is already cut short,” Meng Yuqing said with a bitter smile.

He Shitou looked at Xu Zimei, not daring to speak recklessly.

He knew Xu Zimei had his own plans.

“Do you want to cultivate for immortality?” Xu Zimei asked Meng Yuqing.

In this world, who doesn’t want to cultivate for immortality, but Meng Yuqing’s answer was somewhat unexpected.

She simply shook her head.

Said, “Immortality is too exhausting, and I know my own talent.

If I can live peacefully in this life, if those around me can live peacefully, that’s enough.”

He Shitou, hearing this, hurriedly explained, “Brother Xu is a true expert.

If he wants to, there’s nothing he can’t solve.”

“I know Brother Xu isn’t ordinary.

That day on the mountain, lightning and thunder, the scene was apocalyptic.

Brother Xu descended from the heavens.

If it were anyone else, they would have surely fallen to their death.”

Meng Yuqing said.

“With injuries that serious, and Brother Xu is still alright now.

I’ve always known Brother Xu is like a True Dragon from the heavens.”

He Shitou scratched his head, feeling like he was the only one who didn’t understand anything.

“Since you’ve saved me, you can request anything.

While I’m still here, otherwise, when I leave, we might never meet again in this life,” Xu Zimei said honestly.

After all, they are from different worlds.

Meng Yuqing thought for a moment.

She said, “I saved you not seeking a reward.

But if it’s within a helping range, if Brother Xu can help my brother walk the path of immortality, I’d be eternally grateful.”

“That’s simple,” Xu Zimei said, waving his hand.
