Chapter 117 Slaughtering Pigs

This wasn't the first or second time Wang Yu had tried to kill him.

He dragged him down like a pig, and after gaining power, he even stole his credit. He had to pay the price of losing an arm to qualify for promotion to the outer sect.

Duan Ping did nothing, and even tricked Wang Yu several times, yet he gained the biggest benefit. Su Yulong rewarded him with three thousand contribution points. Wang Yu had investigated this matter and knew it perfectly well.

That's absolutely damnable!

Wang Yu kept an eye on Duan Ping the whole way out of the sect. He deliberately scared him a few times and secretly left a divine imprint on him. After that, he did not play any more pranks on him.

To be honest, this was the first time he had left the sect without a suitable flying artifact for transportation; he used the bone boat for the Xuan Gu Mountain trip and the land-based boat for the Spider Mountain trip.

They are all good treasures.

This time, we didn't go to Taihu Lingyu, the furthest place on the route. Based on our previous experience, there will be multiple stops along the way, and it will take at least three months to arrive.

Last time, when they returned, they brought a whole cart of spirit slaves with them. This time, traveling light, their speed should be much faster.

After leaving the sect, Wang Yu took the initiative to approach Old Man Ning and start chatting. Perhaps worried that Old Man Ning might hold a grudge, Old Man Ning spoke up before Wang Yu could even open his mouth.

"It's been a long time. Fellow Daoist Wang has advanced to the inner sect. Abducting you back then was by no means my intention. I apologize to you here."

"If you feel aggrieved, you can have your fellow Daoist slap you a few times or stab you a few times when you get back. As long as you can vent your anger and spare this old man's worthless life, that's fine."

Since he said that, it became difficult to pursue the matter further.

But this couldn't just end there. As Wang Yu's thoughts raced, a murderous intent lurked within him, but his expression softened considerably, as if he had truly been moved by his sincerity.

However, there seemed to be something hidden in Old Man Ning's words, so he pressed for details.

"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Ning? What do you mean by 'not your original intention'?"

"well……"

Old Man Ning sighed.

"When you're out in the world, especially in a place like the Taihu Spirit Realm, it's best to avoid fighting if possible. Being in peak condition at all times is the best way to survive."

“Back then, on the day you tested your spirit, I made a deal with the Lord of Shihu City. He was responsible for capturing seedlings that were tested to have four or five spiritual roots at that time and selling them to me at a low price.”

The truth was so shocking. Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, never expecting that he had been betrayed by the Lord of Shihu City. The Wang family paid tribute with a lot of gold and silver treasures every year, and even some old medicines that had been stored for years.

Judging from today's standards, it's actually a low-grade spiritual herb that has reached the required level, and each one is worth at least seven or eight spirit stones.

"So that's how it is..."

Wang Yu's face was cold, and he remained silent in his anger.

Seeing that his expression was off, Old Man Ning quickly said.

"Back then, he begged me to bring him a Blood Reversal Pill in the next transaction so he could try to break through, but he failed. Now he's retired in Shihu City, and his cultivation has fallen to the fifth level of Qi Refining. He doesn't have many years left to live."

"If you wish to take revenge, I can lead the way for you."

"Alright, then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Ning."

"It was just a small favor."

After their conversation, Wang Yu observed Old Man Ning from afar. This man was definitely not simple. He had no background and was working in the slave-catching team, yet he had lived to this age in the demonic path.

They are definitely not as timid as they appear.

A month later, the team left Blood Abyss State and completely departed from the territory of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. The road ahead became dangerous, and it was time for Wang Yu to settle accounts.

"Duan Ping!"

The chubby figure trembled, and without saying a word, it collapsed headfirst into the deep, dense forest below.

Of course, Wang Yu wouldn't let him escape. After activating the Gale Spirit Pattern on his robe, the speed of the Blue Butterfly Sword beneath his feet increased dramatically, and he caught up with him in less than a few breaths.

An unexpected change occurred.

The group stopped in unison, and some people looked at Old Man Ning.

"Boss, this..."

"Never mind that. Wang Yu is backed by Yan Zhenchuan. We can't afford to offend him. We'll just wait for him to come back."

"clear."

After years of management and leadership, this slave-hunting team, composed of more than ten late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, was clearly dominated by Old Man Ning. If Wang Yu insisted on killing him, these people would be a threat.

On the other side.

Duan Ping jumped down from mid-air and landed on the treetop. He saw dozens of ice swords shooting towards him and quickly took out a bowl-shaped magic weapon.

The magical artifact flew to the top of his head, and the scattered bronze light acted as a spiritual energy shield, blocking all the ice swords.

"A top-grade first-tier magic weapon?"

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes. In the cultivation world, top-grade magic artifacts of any grade are extremely rare, which is related to the conditions required for their creation.

The highest grade represents the perfect utilization of materials, which can only be crafted by a master craftsman, requiring unparalleled skill in this field.

Just like alchemy, Wang Yu was able to consistently produce top-grade pills because his skill and understanding of the pill formula had reached perfection, a condition that is actually very, very difficult to achieve.

The pharmacology is complex and extremely difficult to understand, involving many theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, making it extremely complicated.

As far as he knew, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect did not have any weapon-refining masters, and he didn't know where this fat man had gotten one from.

Now, it's his!

"brush--"

Just as Duan Ping blocked the barrage of ice swords, he suddenly found a long whip shaped like a golden leaf blade wrapped around him, the end of which was in Wang Yu's hand.

His face instantly turned ugly.

"Don't push your luck. I, Duan, am not without my own methods."

"oh?"

Without saying a word, with a light flick, Fatty Duan swung back in a panic, drawing an arc in mid-air.

Wang Yu's left arm swelled several times in size, and his unparalleled divine power erupted. Even the defense of a top-grade magic weapon could only withstand it for three breaths before it suddenly exploded between the two of them.

The bronze bowl instantly dimmed as he used his divine sense to retrieve it remotely and stuffed it directly into his storage bag.

"You...you...no, let me go."

"I am from the Duan family of Xiangshan. I have spirit stones and resources, all of which I can give you! Wang Yu—"

"Foolish girl, even if I kill you, it will all be mine."

The next moment.

Duan Pangzi's head exploded like a watermelon, and some blood splattered over. He did not use his spiritual power to stop it, but instead let it get on his cheeks.

The warmth of his blood reminded him of things that had happened more than ten years ago.

Awesome, so awesome!

The pent-up frustration in my heart was released in one go, and I felt incredibly happy.

Unfortunately, the fat man failed to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. He was not difficult to kill, since he suffered a backlash from the failed breakthrough and was no longer at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Of course, if Su Yulong wins, Duan Ping might also get a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, but it's hard to say what will happen then.

After carefully storing the body, Wang Yu also gave the storage bag a cursory inspection.

Very poor.

I reckon it was all used to grease palms. Not counting this top-grade magic artifact, the contents inside are worth at most a thousand dollars.

Fortunately, I also gained a top-quality magical artifact.

soon.

Old Man Ning led his team over with a smile.

"Is it all resolved?"

"It's just a personal matter. I'm sorry for taking up everyone's time. Let's continue on our way."

"Alright, we'll reach Heishan Pass in a few days."
