Chapter 120 Old City Lord (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter Five)
That parting was a separation of life and death.
Wang Yu's relationship with Father was not very harmonious, more polite than intimate. The root of this lay in "his birth mother died," this matter Became a knot in Father's heart.
He could understand, therefore the father-son relationship had always been unremarkable, not deep, moreover, he was still a reincarnated person with memories of a previous life.
Having already become independent, he did not feel lonely, on the contrary, he felt that maintaining a certain distance was a comfortable way of communication for both parties.
However, could humans be without feelings? After many years of getting along, the familial affection that had been established was precarious, yet its Foundation was very solid.
After Learn of Father's death, he still felt very sad. Now standing in front of the tombstone, thousands of words turned into longing, but when uttered,
There was only silence.
Wang Yu knelt down, kowtowed three times, then turned around and left.
It was time to take revenge.
Following the address Old Man Ning gave him, Wang Yu set off alone. In less than half a day, he arrived at the retirement place of the Old City Lord of Stone Lake City.
Located on a small mountain more than seven hundred meters outside the city, this place seemed to possess an unformed Spirit Vein. There was thin Spiritual Energy in the environment, barely enough to maintain Early Energy Condensation Stage Cultivation.
This was also a person who had failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, just like Duan Ping, but he did not have Fatty Duan's Foundation. After failing, not only did his Cultivation Level fall to Energy Condensation Stage Fifth Level, but he also reached the end of his Lifespan.
He exhausted his family fortune and desperately tried to fight, but he failed.
Just like most people in the world of Cultivation.
He was not even one hundred and twenty years old, but his whole body was filled with the aura of twilight. He was dying, with at most two years of Lifespan left.
"Creak—"
"Who?"
The floor of the bamboo house was deliberately stepped on by Wang Yu, making creaking sounds. The Old City Lord, who was sitting on a stool winding fishing line, suddenly turned his head to look.
He discovered Wang Yu. Even at such a close distance, he still hadn't sensed any Aura. His face became solemn for a moment, but then relaxed.
"Fellow Cultivator, do you have business with this old man?"
"I do."
Wang Yu pulled over a stool and sat opposite the Old City Lord, gazing at the seemingly kind-faced old man in front of him. It was him who sold him to the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect.
"Fellow Cultivator, please speak freely. This old man is the previous City Lord of Stone Lake City. As long as it is within this scope, I will definitely know everything and say everything."
Wang Yu nodded noncommittally and joked.
"You are dying, but you seem to be afraid of me, why?"
The Old City Lord laughed and said.
"Fellow Cultivator's Cultivation Level is unfathomable, able to come to this old man's side without a sound, you are certainly not my opponent. I am dying… but after all, I still have a few years to live."
"Is that so? That's Good News."
It's better to live poorly than to die well, that's the principle. So he asked.
"I want to know about the Spirit Slave trading business. Did you contact the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect or did Old Man Ning contact you?"
The Old City Lord was startled, then laughed indifferently.
"So it's about this matter. This matter is not a secret above. These three Nascent Soul Factions near the Severed Realm Mountain Range are all involved. They transport many seedlings with No cultivation value to the Demon Domain."
"They can also earn a sum of Spiritual Stone. At first, only Core Formation Cultivators were doing it. After the scale became large, it alarmed Nascent Soul Ancestors, and even triggered the Righteous-Demonic War three hundred years ago."
"After this war, this business was retained. Stone Lake City is small in scale and joined late. It only joined more than ten years ago. Since Fellow Cultivator knows Old Man Ning, you should also know his Style."
"I am a Energy Condensation Cultivator, how could I be qualified to contact him? He came to me. During the first Trade, the lists were all prepared by them."
"After all, I didn't know about this matter at that time, and had No preparation."
Wang Yu frowned.
"The batch sixteen years ago was the first batch?"
"Sixteen years ago… yes, that's right."
The Old City Lord was a little surprised. Before he could think deeply, Wang Yu's second question came again.
"What does the Vulture Sect need so many young girls for? And all of them are Mortals, with few Cultivation seeds."
This question made the Old City Lord silent. He opened his mouth with a troubled expression, and put his hand to his heart.
"This matter… Fellow Cultivator, you'd better not investigate it. This old man has been placed under a Restriction. Once I speak it out, I will definitely die. I still want to live for two more years, and fish for two more years."
"Heh—"
Wang Yu's expression turned cold.
"Speak, and you can live. Don't speak, and die now."
He turned hostile as soon as he said so. The Old City Lord really didn't expect that even though he was so cooperative, Wang Yu still wanted to kill him. In this way, it seemed that there was an old grudge, and he had come specifically for him.
Not to investigate news because of his former Identity as the City Lord.
Bad!
A bad premonition flashed in his heart. The Old City Lord smiled wryly, retreated a few steps and said:
"Fellow Cultivator, it's not that I'm unwilling, but the water inside is too deep. Foundation Establishment Cultivators are just pawns. This old man doesn't know much either. These years, I've just been sending some Mortal women to the Vulture Sect."
"If you insist on investigating, not only will I die, but you won't escape either. This is a disaster…"
Boom—
Suddenly, a Talisman exploded behind Wang Yu, and a deep red Fireball ignited the entire bamboo house. The Old City Lord escaped from the sea of fire.
When he quickly took out a Flying Magic Tool and wanted to ascend, a faint voice sounded in his ear.
"Where do you want to go?"
Wang Yu, covered in Black Fiend Armor, stood unharmed beside the Old City Lord, his hand already pinching his nape. That cold and irresistible power
Almost froze all the blood in his body.
The Old City Lord wore a mournful face and said in an almost pleading tone, "Fellow Cultivator, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's really that I can't say it!"
"Then I'll borrow your Soul for a moment."
When the Soul Devouring Effect was activated, the Old City Lord's face changed drastically.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
"It's desire—"
*Pop.*
Just as he uttered one word, the Old City Lord's head suddenly exploded in front of Wang Yu, leaving only a few Remnant Souls to be absorbed by the Black Fiend Armor.
"Desire? Desire what…"
Wang Yu felt a little regretful. It seemed that he was really under a Restriction, and the management was so strict. It's a pity that he wasn't a Core Formation Cultivator and wouldn't know the Soul Searching Secret Technique.
Looking at the ghost face that appeared on the Black Fiend Armor, his thoughts could not help but wander.
"I wonder if this kind of Remnant Soul can be extracted again for Soul searching."
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
No matter how he responded, the Old City Lord was going to die. The things involved behind this were much bigger than he imagined. It seemed that it was indeed not advisable to get too involved in it.
Wang Wu must also know about this matter.
After all, the matter of offering young girls was proposed by him, and he even contributed his own younger sister. In the past five years, Stone Lake City has suffered a lot of persecution.
The only thing that is unclear is whether Old Man Ning's mission is related to this matter.
"Desire… perhaps it's someone's name."
Having made up his mind, he confiscated all of the Old City Lord's family property. In fact, there were not many Spiritual Stones, as his savings were all used to buy that Reverse Blood Pill.
Far less than the wealth of Wang Yu, the richest man in the Energy Condensation Stage.
