The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 197 The Truth
"It's you!" Upon hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Chen Wenshan's anger flared. If it weren't for this person, how could his daughter have died?

His daughter, whom he raised for nearly twenty years, died without any value whatsoever.

How can he calm down?

"Of course it was me. You killed my father, you should have expected that one day I would come looking for you."

Chen Jinshu's eyes sharpened, and his hands plucked the strings rapidly. In an instant, Chen Wenshan was uncontrollably drawn into a strange illusionary dream.

In this dream, he saw his deceased daughter, his former rival and close friend who ultimately died at his hands, and Chen Jinshu's father.

When Chen Wenshan saw the faces of the cultivators he had personally dealt with, their expressions were contorted in extreme pain.

The moment she began to play, the surrounding dense forest vanished, turning into rows of solitary graves. Numerous scarlet flags fluttered in the wind, as if a battlefield, where war had ended years ago, was now littered with corpses…

Chen Jinshu's song "The Lone Goose Weeps Blood" can stir up the inner demons and fears in the hearts of cultivators who have committed many evil deeds, allowing them to experience the taste of revenge for those who have been hunted.

She knew that her father must be in the other person's dream.

Bu Zhenhai, who was standing to the side, was also caught in the illusion, but his condition was much better than Chen Wenshan's. He just looked a little bitter, as if he had seen some elder and felt guilty.

A moment later, Chen Jinshu felt the time was right and immediately fed Chen Wenshan a True Word Pill.

He then plucked a string with his finger, and the illusion of music around him immediately disappeared, returning the area to its original dense forest state. The birds around him also resumed their previous calls.

Chen Wenshan regained some consciousness.

She immediately asked, "Was it you who killed my father when you were out hunting demons back then?"

Chen Wenshan was about to sneer when a strange force made him involuntarily open his mouth.

“That’s right! I knew about that Blood Ape Beast a long time ago. I even sprinkled a tiny amount of beast-attracting powder on your father beforehand. I cleaned it up after he died, which is why I couldn’t find it.”

After Chen Wenshan finished speaking, his mind cleared up a little, and he said sarcastically, "Do you know how tragic your father's life was that day? All the beasts' teeth fell on your father. In the end, he was tortured to death."

After he finished speaking, he became somewhat gloomy.

"Fine! Very well! You think this will make me lose my mind?"

Chen Jinshu stared at Chen Wenshan expressionlessly, without any emotional fluctuation, which stirred up a storm in her heart.

'So those tribespeople all kept it a secret that time. Well done!'

"Besides you, were there any other cultivators from other families who participated that time?"

"Of course, there were other cultivators who tacitly approved, otherwise do you think I could have kept succeeding? Especially the one leading the group, who was somewhat jealous of your father's good cultivation aptitude. He never attributed the problem to the beast-attracting powder..."

"I understand! Is your feud with my father really just because of my mother?"

"Hmph! That woman is truly blind, actually falling for that short-lived bastard. I hate him even more, always showing off. Among the Chen family's generation, he receives the most resources. How can I, with my five spiritual roots, possibly appease him?"

"It's your own fault for being incompetent, yet you're blaming others?" Chen Jinshu couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.

These people did these absurd things because they were jealous of others' lack of talent and ability.

It's impossible to guess what evil intentions someone might have; sometimes, they simply want to harm others.

Chen Wenshan must have gotten into the habit of harming people, so he always couldn't help but think of taking action when facing many opponents who were superior to him.

“Fellow Daoist Bu Zhenhai, if you hadn’t been threatened by me to bring this person here these past few days, you would probably have been robbed by this guy.”

"I won't say any more nice things to you. Aren't you feeling pretty smug? I'll let you experience what it's like to be devoured by all sorts of monsters."

She took out a Qi-Spirit Pill and fed it to Chen Wenshan.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, a strange fragrance seemed to emanate from his entire body, carrying a hint of sweetness.

"Good luck to Bu Zhenhai!" Chen Jinshu casually tossed an antidote and said.

"You may leave after you swear that you will not tell anyone about what happened today."

"I, Bu Zhenhai, swear..." After receiving the antidote from Chen Jinshu, Bu Zhenhai swallowed it without regard for its bitterness. In just an instant, he felt his spiritual energy in his dantian could be activated, though it would still take some time to recover.

"There are still three months until the Xuanming Sect sends Foundation Establishment Pills for auction. I'm letting you know as a reward."

"Thank you, senior!" Upon hearing this, Bu Zhenhai's eyes lit up, and without saying another word, he flew directly towards the Taoist temple.

Chen Jinshu's gaze returned to Chen Wenshan.

"You'd better pray for yourself. By the way, let's record some footage of you being devoured by various monsters."

Chen Jinshu took off into the air and immediately took out the photo-recording stone.

The arrogance in Chen Wenshan's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by endless fear.

'Awooo...'

'Roar...'

'Clang Clang! '

The sounds of powerful demonic beasts echoed from all around, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief and his face to turn deathly pale.

He kept shaking his head frantically.

With a few 'whoosh' sounds, a large number of demonic beasts rushed over, as if they had found some delicious food, baring their sharp fangs and biting at Chen Wenshan's flesh.

'what……'

Chen Wenshan's anguished voice carried for fifty miles, loud with fear, dread, and deep despair.

The monster quickly and ferociously devoured his flesh piece by piece.

In the blink of an eye, all his flesh and blood were devoured, revealing his stark white skeleton, and the blood on the ground was licked clean by the demonic beast.

Seeing this, Chen Jinshu's eyes gradually turned fierce. It was time to let those instigators see the world.

A moment later, only a few relatively hard bones remained on Chen Wenshan's entire body.

Without saying a word, she grabbed it directly into the wooden box.

"I feel like it's too easy for him to die like this."

She wanted to place these remains in front of her father's grave as a memorial.

With a whoosh, she controlled the Azure Frost Sword to quickly shoo away the satiated monsters around her who had turned their gazes toward her.

A moment later, having reaped a bountiful harvest, she rode the Yinshan Sparrow toward her family's territory.

……

Three days later, Ning Yushan.

"Mother, I'm back."

Upon hearing her daughter's voice, Wu Shuya, who was practicing meditation inside the house, immediately stood up from the cushion with a beaming smile and walked towards her daughter.

"How did things go?"

"It's all taken care of. It's just that things didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped. I won't go into details, it's not something to be happy about. I'll tell you something about my father."

"You gave Chen Wenshan to..."

Wu Shuya didn't finish speaking, but Chen Jinshu already understood and took out the recording stone and the remaining skeleton of Chen Wenshan from the storage bag.

"This skeleton belongs to Chen Wenshan. The rest was eaten by the demonic beasts. They ate it whole."

“My father must have suffered even more back then. His clansmen tacitly approved all along…”
