Chapter 69: Episode 11 System Seniors (Update 1)

With a clang, as if it had touched some solid barrier, not only did the dagger fly away, but even the demon cultivator's arm was numb from the shock.

The demon cultivator looked at Ruan Chao in surprise and suspicion.

I thought he had some magic weapon protecting him, so no one could hurt him.

The girl looked even more shocked than him. She stared at her wrist with wide eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

——In fact, it’s no different from seeing a ghost.

Because a strange, somewhat childish voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[I was… so scared, but…luckily I made it in time.] The other person was panting heavily, a little out of breath, but his words were full of relief, as if something extremely bad would have happened if he had been a moment later.

[What kind of rotten transmission mechanism is this from the Administration? It actually sent me and the host separately, leaving Chao Chao to live here alone for sixteen years!]

[Sixteen years, that’s a full sixteen years!] The system was filled with righteous indignation and shouted angrily, [Chao Chao still lost his memory, I don’t know how he survived here alone!]

[This is a major mission accident, and you must apply for a huge fund compensation! ]

…

The strange voice was buzzing in Ruan Chao's mind.

It gave him a headache.

The Nguyen Dynasty's first reaction was that someone had robbed it.

But his soul and body were still tightly connected, without any tendency to loosen, and no one was competing with him for control of his body.

Apart from yelling in his head and saying something he couldn't understand at all, the other party didn't do anything extra.

And it kept repeating a name - Chao Chao.

Ruan Chao also communicated with it with his mind, wanting to know whether this strange thing that suddenly appeared could communicate.

[Sorry to bother you, are you referring to me? ]

The system jammed.

At this time, the host has completely lost all memory of it due to a bug that occurred when saving the emotional line in the previous world.

He believed that he was a native of the world of cultivation.

It needs to be more cautious and careful, and tell the host its origins carefully in a way that the host can accept.

The system considered its words for a while before carefully answering: [Yes, the person I am talking about is you.]

【Chao Chao, I came here for you.】

Come for me...?

Ruan Chao's expression became even more confused.

[Just now, you were the one who blocked the demon cultivator's attack for me? ]

System: […Yes.]

For some reason, Nguyen Chao had an extraordinary trust in this voice, as if he was certain that the other party was on his side and would not harm him.

He remembered the storybooks he had read when he was young.

The protagonist in the story accidentally obtains a jade pendant or necklace, in which resides the residual soul of a powerful immortal cultivator.

The protagonist will also communicate with the remaining souls through thoughts.

Some of the remaining souls have kind personalities, while others have vicious personalities. However, without exception, they will all do their utmost to help the protagonist.

If they don't take action, it's fine. But once they do, they will use all the extinct ancient heritage and various unique skills that are never passed on to others, and they will pile them on the protagonist as if they were free.

With the help of the immortal cultivators, the protagonist achieves his goals step by step, and finally unifies the six realms and ascends to become a god.

A strange voice suddenly sounded in my mind...

main character……

Jade pendant...

Ruan Chaoxia touched his chest subconsciously, but found nothing.

Then he remembered that his jade pendant had been shattered into powder a few days ago.

It seems that in the storybook, before the strange sound appears, the jade pendant will indeed disappear in some way...

Because the time passed so long ago, the content of the storybook had long become vague in Nguyen Chao's memory, and he had also forgotten many details.

He was already sixteen years old, and was no longer a child who would believe anything someone said to him. He shouldn't have believed such bizarre stories, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of expectation in his heart.

Or maybe... he is unwilling to accept his fate of being weak.

Ruan Chao said softly: [Senior, are you here to help me achieve great things? ]

System: [? ? ? ]

What predecessors? What great cause?

What is Chaochao saying? Why can't it understand?

The system quickly denied: [No, no, no... I am not a senior, I am just a system...]

Ruan Chao readily responded: [So you are a senior in the system. ]

Although the name of the system was strange, Nguyen Dynasty did not think much about it.

After all, masters always have something different from ordinary people.

System: […………] It understands.

It turns out that the Nguyen Dynasty regarded it as the kind of hermit powerful being living in a jade pendant in the novel.

However, when I heard Chao Chao respectfully calling me "senior", I felt inexplicably happy!

The system tried hard to suppress the tail that wanted to flutter up.

It felt that following the Nguyen Dynasty's words and pretending to be a senior and wise man was a way to make the Nguyen Dynasty accept it quickly.

Otherwise, what would it say?

They say they are not from this world, and their main purpose of coming to this world is to complete a mission.

...I guess Chao Chao won’t believe it.

On one side is the world he has lived in for sixteen years and has completely integrated into, and on the other side is a system that suddenly appears and is completely unfamiliar to him. It goes without saying which side Nguyen Chao will choose.

The system can only rush to put things on the shelves and try hard to pretend to be a master.

It puffed out its chest, cleared its throat, and said in a pretentious tone: "You are right, I am indeed here to help you achieve your great cause."

Completing the task of being a tool and helping the hero reach the pinnacle of his life is also a great achievement in another sense.

The system said this without any guilt.

Ruan Chao looked gloomy: [But I have the constitution of a furnace, and my spiritual energy will be stored in my dantian by itself. I can mobilize very little. No matter how hard I try to cultivate, I am only making wedding clothes for others.]

The system couldn't bear to see Ruan Chao putting on a pitiful and self-pitying attitude.

[What happened to the furnace tripod?] It raised its voice and said, [The furnace tripod can also be cultivated! In time, you will definitely stand on the highest peak and look down on everyone.]

Nguyen Chao seemed shocked by the system's words.

After a long while, he asked with bright eyes and a little hope: "Will I become very powerful?"

He paused for a moment and continued to ask: […Is he more powerful than Chu Xinglan? ]

Facing Nguyen Chao's expectant gaze, the system could not utter a word of denial and could only nod in agreement.

[Then…is there any need to say more?]

[Chu... Chu Xinglan is nothing, can he compare to you? 】

In order to make their lies more convincing.

The system quickly searches for relevant parts of speech in the mall.

Soon he found a method suitable for furnace and cauldron cultivation.

It's just a little expensive...it will cost him a whole month's salary.

It gritted its teeth, closed its eyes, and pressed the buy button.

[Here is a technique suitable for furnace cultivation. Once we have dealt with this troublesome demon cultivator, I will give it to you.]

The troublesome demon cultivator...

Ruan Chao came to his senses and shifted his attention back to the demon cultivator.

It was a brief exchange of ideas in our consciousness, but in reality not much time had passed.

The demon cultivator carefully distanced himself from Ruan Chao. He squinted his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him with a gloomy expression, trying to figure out what was going on with the barrier that suddenly appeared on her body.

bite--

He threw the dagger towards Nguyen Chao, and when the tip of the knife was just an inch away from Nguyen Chao, he suddenly stopped.

It fell to the ground with a clang and broke into two pieces.

The demon cultivator's expression became even uglier.

The world of cultivation is full of dangers, and one can easily fall into danger if not careful. In order to protect the host's safety, the system mall has refreshed several extremely lethal moves at very low prices, just waiting to provide assistance to the host when needed.

The system scanned the demon cultivator's cultivation level.

Bought a product called "One-hit Kill for Yuanying Period Monks".

[Chao Chao, a transparent panel will appear in front of you in a moment. Don't panic or be afraid. That is my means of attack... the embodiment of my ultimate move.]

[As long as you follow my instructions, we can easily deal with him. ]

Ruan Chao took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent board appeared in front of Ruan Chao.

They also considerately replaced the characters with those of the Nguyen Dynasty.

[Chao Chao! Right now! Press the confirmation button above! ]

Nguyen Chao followed the instructions of his senior in the system and pressed the button quickly.

At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The demon cultivator was born with a strong sense of foresight about danger. He realized something was wrong the first time and decisively turned into a stream of black gas and swam towards the cave entrance.

But... it was still half a step too late.

The dazzling light soon caught up with him and completely enveloped him.

He had lived in this world for hundreds of years, but had never felt such intense pain.

Every part of the body, along with the soul, was disappearing rapidly.

He didn't even have time to scream before he disappeared from this world.

The light was so bright... No one knew what was going on inside.

Ruan Chao couldn't help but hold his breath.

The next moment, the light disappeared.

The demon cultivator also disappeared without a trace.

Only a few streaks of black ashes were left on the dirty soil, proving that he had existed.

Ruan Chao hadn't reacted yet. He stared at the traces left on the ground and asked in confusion: "Is it over?"

The system replied excitedly: [All the bones and residues have been burned. He is dead and cannot die any more!]

[System Senior!] Ruan Chao's tone became excited, [You are really amazing! So brave! With just one move, you killed this evil demon cultivator and left no trace of his body!]

Hearing the Nguyen Dynasty's undisguised praise, the system's tail is starting to flutter again.

[It's just so-so, not worth mentioning. 】

There were many girls tied up with ropes in the cave.

Ruan Chao untied the ropes for them one by one.

He then simply bandaged the wound of the girl who had fallen to the ground.

The girls huddled together in panic, like frightened little rabbits.

They were pale, ragged, and trembling and crying.

"The demon cultivator...is the demon cultivator dead?"

"Yes." Ruan Chao nodded calmly, "It was solved by a senior who passed by."

The system told Nguyen Chao that he must not let others know of its existence and must keep it a secret.

So the Nguyen Dynasty ignored its existence.

Upon hearing the news that the demon cultivator had passed away, the girls finally dared to cry out loud.

From their sobs, Ruan Chao heard some fragments of information about the demon cultivators.

They said that the demon cultivator had practiced a very bizarre evil technique and had to devour the blood of young girls every day in order to improve his cultivation.

There have been several sisters who have died tragically at the hands of evil cultivators because their blood was sucked dry.

Ruan Chao was silent for a moment.

No wonder he kept smelling a foul, rotten odor.

He didn't know how to comfort them.

I could only watch them cry, helpless.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the cave.

Someone was destroying the formation left behind by the demonic cultivator with an overwhelming force.

In just a few breaths, the person arrived at the cave.

A frost-colored long sword rushed towards Ruan Chao and circled around him.

"Shadow?" Ruan Chao narrowed his eyes, "It's my brother..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hugged in someone's arms.

It was a force that almost rubbed him into the body.

He smelled a cool and pleasant fragrance and heard the other person's unsteady breathing.

Ruan Chao didn't hesitate and reached out to hug the boy back.

When the system saw the two people hugging each other, it let out an unfriendly sound.
