Today's Xianmen elegant pig slaughter
Chapter 39: Those who seek fame and reputation commit suicide
At this moment, among all the people present, the only one who found the current situation quite interesting was the butcher.
He lowered his head to look at the little fox in his arms, whose face was dazed because of the shattered world view. The fur on the fox's big tail was fluffy and exploded, as if it had lost its soul and was about to fall off in an instant——
If all the hair falls off, you will become a bald fox.
He chuckled.
The laughter was not loud but was abrupt enough.
Yunshang Xianzun's gaze moved away from the little fox and met the man standing at the door of the wing room... He was wearing an ordinary yellow mining robe of the Big Sun Mine. However, his tall body did not make his presence inferior to anyone else at the scene even though his shoulders were relaxed and his head was lowered.
Including Yan Ji'an himself.
When the man looked up again, the smile in his dark eyes had not faded, and he seemed not to care at all about the gaze from the highest point in the world of immortal cultivation. He nodded slightly to Yan Jinan, then turned around and left while holding the fox.
From the second floor wooden stairs came the creaking sounds as people walked down the stairs. From beginning to end, Yan Ji'an did not make a sound to try to stop them even once.
It was as if he tacitly agreed that the butcher could take Nan Fuguang, who had turned into a fox, away.
"Master?"
A confused female voice sounded behind him.
Now it was Lu Sang's turn to be confused. She blinked in shock, not understanding what was going on... ?
After returning from the Big Sun Mine yesterday, Yan Ji'an almost immediately mobilized all the useful people he could find on the West Coast.
Among them are people from all walks of life.
At that time, seeing those inferior people being introduced to Yan Ji'an, they were standing in a frivolous manner and smiling, and Lu Sang felt extremely uncomfortable... In her mind, Yunshang Immortal Venerable was so high and mighty that even an ordinary inner sect disciple of Yuntian Sect might not be able to talk to him for a year, so how could these mortals dare to talk to him?
However, Yan Ji'an did not show any resistance.
Perhaps even in the world of immortals, the west coast of the Impure Sea cannot be completely regarded as the territory of immortal cultivators. More mortals gather here, and the few scattered immortal sects are almost suppressed to the point where they have no place to stand... "The Three Realms Gossip" is arguing about the situation in the humid land every day, and for immortal cultivators, this vast land has long been labeled as an uncivilized, underdeveloped, and barren land.
Facing those mortals whose eyes were filled with greed, Yunshang Xianzun, as always, had a calm face and ordered them to find those with bad behavior, who were eager to escape from the Xianmeng wanted list, or who had done something to be hired by their peers...
They struggled until almost midnight before they finally brought Xue Pinggui.
Looking at this crazy, bad-deed, incoherent gambler, Lu Sang thought of her parents who had abandoned her long ago and even wanted to sell her just for some maltose, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
At the same time, under the moonlight outside the window, Lu Sang carefully peeked at Yan Jian's back, who had finally relaxed after a day of tension. He also breathed a sigh of relief. On the one hand, he thought that the senior sister was finally saved. On the other hand, he thought that this person being transferred to the Dayi Mine might be a good deed for everyone...
——As a result, everything today was far from what she had imagined.
Everything was going smoothly. All they needed was for the Yuntian Sect's senior sister to obediently hand over the token that symbolized the exchange of the contract to end everything. They could even catch the boat back to the Yuntian Sect before dusk...
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
The eldest sister actually refused to exchange with Xue Pinggui.
She was emotionally conflicted and fierce, and kept talking about the inhumane nature of the Dayi Mine and how the mine imprisoned the great secret of the world of immortals. Perhaps this was why she triggered the forbidden confidentiality spell and became a fox - but this might not be a big problem for the master at all - he should have taken her away by force anyway.
But he didn't.
Amidst the chaos, a strange man appeared outside the door. He was wearing the same mining robe as the eldest sister. He was tall and handsome, but compared to the extraordinary Yunshang Xianzun, he had a different aura. His face was gentle, and his lips were naturally raised as if he always had a faint smile on his face.
But it always gives people a sense of alienation that others should stay away from.
For no reason, Lu Sang was a little afraid of him.
When this strange man appeared, he naturally said that he wanted to take the eldest sister away. He used very domineering words, holding the fox and saying something like "give it back to me"... What's the logic behind this? The fox's original body was the eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect. When did she become his? Why did he need to use the word "give it back"?
Unexpectedly, the master didn't just tell him to shut up and not say anything nonsense, but actually agreed.
"Why, Master?"
At this moment, hearing the man holding the fox walking farther and farther away, the sound of footsteps going down the wooden ladder and the creaking sound of the wooden steps completely disappeared from his ears. Lu Sang finally couldn't help it and frowned anxiously.
Although her voice was still soft and gentle, she spoke a little faster, and her pretty face was tinged with anxiety.
"Master, we finally found Xue Pinggui, and Senior Sister will be able to return to Yuntian Sect soon... Why are you——"
How could she let that strange man take her away like that?
Yan Ji'an remained silent.
As a cultivator in the Immortal Transformation Stage, who had half of his energy refined to the point of transcending the ordinary, his five senses were stronger than Lu Sang's, so he waited longer before he could no longer hear the butcher and the fox whispering...
The last thing he heard was the man warning the fox in a not-too-stern tone not to scratch him again.
Wait until the sound completely dissipates.
In an instant, without any warning, there was a thunderous sound in the chaos brought about by the thick fog in my mind, followed by the clearness of the sky.
His pupils contracted and then slightly dilated. Yunshang Immortal Venerable felt extremely unfamiliar with this kind of detachment and confusion that he had not felt for many years.
Without giving it time to think, he turned around. Even though he was filled with doubts, his eyes were still as calm as water. He looked into the puzzled eyes of his young apprentice behind him, paused, and asked, "Did the butcher take your senior sister away?"
"?"
Butcher?
Is that man a butcher?
Doesn’t look like it?
Lu Sang opened his mouth and wanted to say "Yeah, what else?", but then he successfully found himself so surprised that he couldn't speak at all.
Fortunately, Yan Jian didn't need her answer.
Yunshang Immortal's face suddenly darkened. He flicked his sleeves and followed the butcher in the direction he left.
……
The butcher was sincere this time and didn't play any tricks. In addition, he had an excited fox in his arms, so he couldn't walk far on his own two legs.
He didn't seem too surprised that Yan Jian suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way again. He even thought calmly, "It's a little faster than I expected."
"What's the matter? Lord Immortal, is there anything else?"
His tone was too casual.
Yan Jian stood in front of him without moving or saying a word, as dumb as ever. But the look in his eyes, fixed on the restless fox in his arms, said it all.
A head that was much shorter than Yunshang Xianzun popped out from the side of Yunshang Xianzun. The girl had a beautiful face, and there were shallow dimples on her lips when she spoke. Her black eyes were as watery as a deer's. "You, you butcher, you are so brave! How dare you snatch someone in the street! Give our senior sister back to us!"
The words used, which were both cowardly and arrogant, made people want to laugh. At this time, the inner sect disciples of Yuntian Sect who were quietly approaching in an outflanking manner heard it and were even distracted for a moment, thinking that the little junior sister was really adorable.
The butcher, on the other hand, was completely unmoved.
It doesn't matter if you scold him or anything else. He lowered his brows, and his eyes were once again filled with the distant feeling that Lu Sang had felt before.
"Rob?"
He pinched the fox's neck with two fingers and lifted it up.
The soft and warm fur was separated from the flesh and bones, and was lifted up by a fistful, but the fox in his arms did not move at all——
As soon as the people from Yuntian Sect appeared again, it decisively buried its head in the butcher's armpit. At this moment, it was like a determined ostrich, with its tail hanging down and its butt facing outward, demonstrating what "out of sight, out of mind" means.
Nan Fuguang is so uncooperative.
Lu Sang was dumbfounded.
The butcher rubbed the back of the fox's neck with his rough fingertips with a bit of nostalgia, until it began to shake its ears impatiently, and then he moved his hand away without making a sound.
At this moment, the man acted as if he had no idea that he was surrounded by people from the Yuntian Sect—
There was indeed some unnecessary suspicion. After all, Yan Ji'an was here, and what they were facing was just a mortal who was relatively strong.
The man holding the fox bowed his head slightly and glanced at Lu Sang condescendingly, then looked away again. "Master Immortal, you should know that the time converter has a time limit, like a stick of incense?"
He raised his lips slightly, his tone casual.
"If we delay any further, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
——So, stop talking nonsense and get out of the way.
Yan Ji'an certainly refused to give in, and stretched out his hand to the butcher, saying, "Give it back to me."
The butcher remained silent, but the curve on his lips relaxed a little, and his entire face lost its smile, and he suddenly felt a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.
Immediately smelled danger.
Lu Sang reflexively summoned her Fulong Sword, holding the familiar hilt tightly in her palm, but she no longer had the feeling of peace of mind she usually had when holding a sword in her hand.
Even Yan Ji'an was present.
The sudden drawing of the sword made the atmosphere on the scene tense. Even the fox in the butcher's arms felt it. It pulled its head out immediately, its fur standing on end. It turned its head and bared its teeth and breathed at Lu Sang without hesitation!
"Sister!"
There was a hint of disappointment in Lu Sang's voice, probably because he was shocked at why her elbow was so bent outward!
Seeing this, Yan Jian's thoughts, which had been somewhat abnormal and uneasy just now, finally became chaotic. His heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, his sword energy gathered, and golden light condensed in his eyes. His hand was always in front of the butcher, and he emphasized his tone, woodenly and persistently: "Give me back the fox."
The disciples of the Yuntian Sect finally showed up, forming a formation on their own and retreating, like laying a net for the heavens and the earth—
If the butcher doesn't hand over the fox today, you will have no chance of leaving this place.
There was no one on the street for a long time. It had been many years since such a large group of monks appeared on the West Coast. There was only a crack left on the doors and windows of every household, with countless pairs of eyes waiting to watch the fun.
The fox cried anxiously. It stopped pretending to be dead and stretched out its claws to scratch the butcher anxiously.
Although she didn't want to go back with the people from Yuntian Sect, it would be unnecessary to sacrifice the butcher and kill him in the street just to indulge her temper!
This person is still, still somewhat useful!
The fox let out an impatient whimpering sound, which eventually turned into a whistle. Its round animal eyes widened as it desperately tried to break free from the butcher's arms...
However, the more it struggled, the butcher did not slacken his strength in the slightest.
The man even seemed to find the sudden tension in front of him very interesting and asked, "What are you so nervous about?"
A long sword appeared in Yan Jian's hand at some point. It was not his natal Yusui Sword, but just an ordinary one.
Standing with a sword in hand, he said to the butcher calmly: "You can't leave here unless you hand over the fox."
The butcher smiled and said, "Really? Not necessarily."
The fox in his arms obviously thought he had gone crazy, and it grabbed his sleeve and pulled it hard.
The butcher was covered in fox hair. He watched as two strands of fiery red fox hair flew from the tip of his nose. He raised his hand and pressed down the restless furry head. "The following scene may not be suitable for children."
fox:"?"
The butcher: "You take a nap."
fox:"???"
The tip of the fox's teeth was still hooked on the coarse mining robe. Before the fox could react to what had happened, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
The memory stays in the butcher's eyes as he looked down at me, with a smile that showed his ignorance of the world.
……
The butcher took his hand away from the fox, and the fox, which had been screaming just now, suddenly drooped its head and became limp. Anyone who saw it would be frightened.
"You butcher! What did you do to my senior sister?"
Lu Sang was no longer afraid at this moment, he made a sword flower and took the lead to step forward——
The Black Mountain Morning Market has escaped the restriction of the Big Sun Mine. In her opinion, as a foundation-building cultivator, it should be easy for her to control mortals!
Unexpectedly, she realized something was wrong the moment she drew her sword, and the tip of the sword was hovering just a finger's distance away from the man!
The sword energy had already been released. If it had been an ordinary mortal, he would have been too late to dodge by now, and at least would have been injured by the sword energy. However, this man did not move a single step.
The sword energy only passed over his cheek, leaving a blood mark as thin as a silk thread.
Lu Sang was confused at first. Once the sword energy was formed, the destructive power should not be restrained so much. Then, he raised his eyes inadvertently and looked at the man in front of him for a moment. He was shocked and his face turned pale in surprise and doubt!
The butcher remained motionless.
As if he hadn't noticed the change in the expression on the face of the female cultivator in front of him, he looked over her shoulder and looked at Yunshang Xianzun behind her. He paused, lowered his eyes and said, "Let me confirm again. The rule of the time converter is that as long as it is not used in front of the person involved, the rest of the people will not remember what happened in the changed timeline... right?"
If I'm right, they're on a tight schedule.
He paused and said, "We need to save time. It would be better for you to summon your natal sword."
He finally stopped calling him "My Lord Immortal" in a sarcastic tone.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone thought that the butcher was crazy. Nowadays, let alone an ordinary person, even the commander of the "Kingfisher's Nest" and the Nascent Soul cultivator Duan Nan did not dare to shout at Yan Ji'an to sacrifice his natal sword!
This damn unknown guy is still stubborn even when he is about to die, and he is blaspheming the Immortal Master Yunshang!
Lu Sang felt her blood rushing up, her pale face instantly flushed, she cried out "Bold", and was about to launch a second attack -
At this time, she heard the familiar sound of a copper bell behind her.
Pupils shrank slightly, the Yuntian Sect's junior sister turned her head in disbelief. At the same time, a man's low sigh sounded in her ears.
"Kill the noisy person."
Before Lu Sang could react to what was happening, the next moment, a fierce murderous aura enveloped her. She heard a dull sound of a sharp object piercing her body, and she felt a sharp tearing pain in her Dantian!
"!"
Lu Sang opened her eyes slightly, lowered her head, and saw that the Yusui Sword, which she had seen countless times and even touched, pierced her body.
The bloody sword blade pierced out from the back.
There wasn't even much unnecessary movement in the attack. A fishy-sweet smell surged up her throat, and as bright red blood quickly spread and soaked her vest, she finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Those who seek fame and reputation should commit suicide."
In the man's identical low-key voice, Yan Ji'an and dozens of Yuntian Sect disciples around him all felt as if they were possessed by evil spirits.
Yunshang Xianzun did not hesitate to use the Yusui Sword to slash his neck. The sword energy of his natal sword easily hurt his half-immortal body. The red liquid dyed his eyes red. The posture of him emerging easily from a pupa made people wonder if it was really blood?
Belonging to the Immortal Venerable Yunshang, the first sword cultivator after the Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree withered, the only true dragon in the Three Realms, the glory of the immortal cultivation world, the resurrected Hengyuexingchen...
Yan Ji'an's blood.
The blood in Lu Sang's hands and feet had stopped flowing, and his whole body was cold, as if he was in the dead of winter.
I witnessed with my own eyes that the Immortal Master Yunshang died like an ant in the barren land on the west bank of the impure sea.
Before she fell heavily to the ground with her eyes closed, her eyes reflected the blazing sun in the sky, circles of halos spread out from the small halo, and chaos permeated the girl's pupils...
She collapsed in the blood, as if falling into a sudden nightmare.
Until his death, Lu Sang could not believe what was happening.
