Peak Master Mo ultimately swallowed his anger; after all, this was the mortal realm, and using the sect's term of address for cultivators felt strange. The newcomer was none other than Chu Fan, the protagonist who had received swordsmanship instruction from Yu Ling.
He was afraid that if he stayed in the sect after his injuries healed, he would be retaliated against by the sword cultivators who seemed to be getting more and more irritable, and be dragged out and beaten again. That's why he returned to the place where he used to stay in the mortal world. But how... how could he still be caught even though he was hiding here?
What a bizarre twist of fate! The mortal realm is so vast, Tianwu City is so vast, why did we have to bump into each other here?!
—The four of them came out too quickly; even the sect leader hadn't noticed, let alone Chu Fan, who was recuperating from his injuries. He had no idea that Yu Ling had also come to the mortal realm.
It was his habit of randomly recognizing brothers that made him unable to resist stepping forward again and coming to this shady gaming venue to cause trouble.
When Chu Fan first saw Yu Ling, he actually wanted to back away, but his new brother was right there, so he couldn't do it!
"Brother Mo, are you here to help someone in need too?" Chu Fan looked closely and saw that Yu Ling was also standing in front of a wounded mortal. He felt like he hadn't woken up yet and exclaimed in shock, "You...you...you actually have a day when you see injustice and draw your sword to help?"
Yu Ling: What's wrong with me? Can't the Path of Ruthlessness have its own logic? Also, what you said when you came in was clearly my line!!!
"Since Chu... Fan, you're here, I'll give you this opportunity." After reviewing Chu Fan's resume of those brothers who died gloriously and tragically, Yu Ling ultimately didn't say the words "Brother Chu." She took three steps back and hid in a corner to continue watching the battle.
Since Yu Ling was a big spender who had paid money, even though there was suspicion that she had tried to cause trouble, everyone still only focused their attention on Chu Fan, and several burly thugs immediately surrounded him.
[Host, the protagonist has stolen all the limelight. What about our plans?] Although the system was worried that Yu Ling might be in danger if she had to start over, it was still annoyed that Chu Fan had interrupted it like this.
"What's the panic? Nothing that Chu Fan gets involved in can be resolved quickly. Just wait, this will inevitably lead to a major problem sooner or later, and then there will be plenty of opportunities to rebuild."
Yu Ling had great faith in the protagonist's ability to cause trouble. He could see it now: none of the people chosen by the Heavenly Dao to be protagonists had a peaceful life, especially this one who was the protagonist of a higher world. There was still a plot after his ascension that hadn't been taken from him yet, and his protagonist halo hadn't dissipated. Wasn't he a perfect tool?
"I never expected to hear such words from you. Fine, just you wait and see!"
As Chu Fan journeyed along, many of his brothers died. The resentment he felt towards the original owner was eventually masked by the illusion he created. After being beaten up by Yu Ling, his anger subsided, and he stopped worrying about why Yu Ling was there.
He continued to confront the group of thugs, and even gave a scathing rap, thoroughly criticizing the place.
The hatred level was immediately locked, and a battle was about to break out.
Although he couldn't cheat with magic, Chu Fan had already accumulated a lot of fighting experience, so fighting a group of mortals, even in a group fight, was still a piece of cake.
After Yu Ling resigned, she calmly and nonchalantly watched the drama unfold, so engrossed in the live broadcast of the protagonist's rampage that she didn't notice the mortal she was protecting behind her, who was looking at her with a complex yet grateful and conflicted gaze.
As expected of the protagonist, he managed to turn a crushing battle into a close one, with back-and-forth exchanges that were thrilling and exciting, leaving the audience thoroughly entertained. He was truly a promising candidate for throwing a match, leaving Yu Ling completely bewildered.
Finally, with the addition of one thug after another, this Chu Fan actually began to show...
A decline?!
Seriously, do you have to be so weak? Even among a group of cultivators, you're a Nascent Soul stage expert! Right now, you're just a bunch of mortals... and that's not enough?
How come you're so bad when you're the main character?
Actually, it's not that Chu Fan is too weak. After all, he has to be distracted by protecting his mortal brothers, hold back from using magic, and the level of the thugs in this place is far beyond that of most ordinary villains. They look quite extraordinary.
Indeed, what ordinary place would attract the protagonist's attention? Yu Ling chose this place precisely because it's strange and secluded, with a hint of something fishy going on.
Through Chu Fan's tireless efforts, he finally sacrificed his new brother to the heavens. At the same time, freed from his restraints, he unleashed even greater combat power. With a roar, he shattered the place, successfully avenging the death of the mortal.
Yu Ling responded, "How come I'm not surprised at all?"
"Hmph, I, Chu Fan, am making this clear! You shady places should shut down as soon as possible, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
After putting an imperfect end to everything, leaving everyone to look forward to the sequel, Chu Fan gave Yu Ling a look, showing no intention of eliminating any future threats, and actually pulled his deceased brother out directly.
[Tch, what a show-off!] The system disapproved of the protagonist's behavior. These mortals weren't exactly good people, so why not just eliminate them all? Were they left to wait for someone else's revenge?
Yu Ling, having had her fill of gossip, actually gave Chu Fan face and followed him out. He was hoping this matter would blow up, so that when his Dao Heart shattered and he had to rebuild, he could transfer his hatred to the protagonist... Hehe, when his cheap master found out he had to rebuild, he would definitely protect him and scold Chu Fan, and wouldn't say anything more about him.
"Alas, my poor brother, he couldn't escape this calamity after all." Chu Fan found a hole nearby and buried the man, sighing heavily, "Brother, may you rest in peace."
"Heh, it's all your own fault." Yu Ling, eager to ride on the protagonist's coattails, quickly followed along, but couldn't resist her urge to complain. "Couldn't you have come by yourself? Why did you have to bring a mere mortal along?"
Chu Fan: "............." Oh right!
"Well, isn't this all so that that heartless place will realize where it went wrong?"
Yu Ling: "Wouldn't it be the same if you just gave him his name?"
"How can they be the same? I still want those bastards to apologize to my brother in person!" Chu Fan said matter-of-factly.
Did they apologize?
".........No."
Not only did he not die, his brother also died.
"Never mind, it's good that you have this intention." Yu Ling's ruthless character was originally someone who didn't care about human life; he just wanted to say something sarcastic.
