Star Trace Gate

Chapter 763: A boy's story, 1 people scattered by one knife

A murmur filled with helplessness and unwillingness echoed faintly in the cave.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the "cocoon" formed by the peach branches burst out with endless purple light at this moment, just like a purple sun rising in the cave.

"Ah, eyes, my eyes!"

The purple light was blinding. Even Master Wu, who was a fifth-rank immortal, felt a sharp pain in his eyes as if he was going blind when he saw a flash of purple light.

The rise of "Purple Sun" was too sudden, and the other eight immortal masters were also extremely frightened, feeling a sense of panic as they were caught off guard.

“Boom boom…!”

Nine powerful auras exploded, and the immortal masters activated the asking bells together, drawing divine light to protect their bodies and faces, and closed their eyes tightly, intending to use the sect-protecting magic weapon to temporarily escape, leave the cave, and return to the outside of the stone gate.

However, unexpectedly, the sect's most precious treasure, the Asking Questions Bell, only emitted a hint of brilliance under the joint activation of nine fifth-grade immortal masters, and then suddenly dimmed in front of the peach knife, and emitted a buzzing sound like "fear".

“Why… why is it so? The sect-protecting magic weapon actually… actually restrained its aura on its own, as if it had encountered a natural nemesis?!”

Immortal Master Xun was terrified and shouted with a stuttering voice, then was about to mobilize his divine power and be the first to leave the cave.

“Boom, boom, boom…!”

At this moment, the "Peach Knife" that had just calmed down exuded a vigorous and endless devouring power, like a bottomless whirlpool, wantonly pulling at all the matter in the cave.

The nine immortal masters who intended to force their way out of the cave suddenly felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire, with their bodies unable to move at all. The star cores in their abdomens seemed to be pulled by that terrifying devouring force, causing the star source aura to flow disorderly in their bodies, making it completely impossible to gather their spiritual thoughts and display their divine powers.

This feeling of having no control over their fate suddenly caused the nine people to feel a sense of despair and fear in their hearts.

"What on earth did you do, boy?!"

"This boy must know the strangeness of this place! He was deliberately hiding it from us before!"

"You little bastard! How dare you deceive us? Aren't you afraid that your entire family will be wiped out?!" An irritable immortal master of the Xianlan Sect, even though he was in danger at the moment, still cursed and threatened Xing Wu with very contemptuous words.

What Mr. Bao said is absolutely right. The prejudice in people’s hearts is as huge as a mountain.

In the eyes of this group of people, Xiao Xing Wu was not even a human being. To put it simply, he had no background, no identity, and had not yet attained enlightenment. He could only be regarded as a livestock raised by the Five Cities of Xianlan, and at most could contribute a little to the tax revenue of Chaolong City.

Generally speaking, they are different from mortals. Xun Xianshi and others are over 100 or 200 years old, and may be older than Xing Wu's great grandfather. After they were in seclusion in the mountains, little Xing Wu may have grown from a teenager to middle-aged.

There is no time for those who practice Taoism. To them, these mortals are really existences that can be completely ignored, just like the weeds in the mountains. With the coming of spring and autumn, they grow and wither, but it’s just a matter of one crop replacing another.

"Little bastard, how do we break this strange phenomenon? Tell me quickly, otherwise... otherwise there will be no Xing family in Daze Township anymore!" Master Wu shouted urgently.

"brush!"

At this moment, the endless purple light in the cave converged and entered Xing Wu's brows.

The "cocoon" formed by the peach branches on his body was visibly integrated into his body, transforming into streams of devouring power that could cleanse his essence and marrow, wandering through his limbs, bones, qi and blood meridians.

"tread!"

He fell from mid-air and his feet landed firmly on the ground.

The purple light was completely absorbed into his body, and although Xing Wu's appearance had not changed at all, he still had the same simple and honest look as before. But for some reason, he stood there with an inexplicable sense of indifference.

His temperament changed, and the "peach blossom" between his eyebrows had completely blossomed, covering his entire forehead, making him look extremely charming.

"Little bastard, what on earth have you done secretly? !! The devouring power here... why... why does it obey your command?!" Master Xun is naturally not a fool. He has already guessed that the reason why his body and soul were imprisoned was definitely not because of the "treasure of the demon sword" that suddenly went crazy, but because of the tampering of the wild boy in front of him.

He just looked in great pain, desperately calling for help, but now he landed calmly, carrying that terrifying devouring power.

Why...why is this happening?

This is impossible!

Master Xun and the others were not only extremely frightened, but also very confused.

If this person with supernatural powers is enlightened, then a star core must be born in his abdomen. Even a god cannot hide the star core and the sea of ​​stars in his abdomen. This kid was previously investigated by the Wuchen Sect Master using his divine sense. His abdomen was full of chaos and turbid air. This is obviously the characteristic of a mortal who has not yet been enlightened, and he is the worst talent.

Since we are mortals, we naturally do not possess divine power, let alone the ability to sense and mobilize the power of the stars!

This is the iron rule of cultivation, which cannot be violated, and this is also the reason why the nine immortal masters despise this young man. Because under the high level, the so-called playing the pig and eating the tiger is just a joke.

We are just mortals, just pigs and sheep, how can we swallow a tiger?

Then, he was unable to sense and mobilize the power of the star source...so how did he attract that devouring force into his body?

This is incredible, it has never happened before!

The nine people were stunned, and they suddenly felt that Xing Wu was a mystery, with too many things hidden in him that could not be uncovered.

"Tap!"

In the cave, Xing Wu landed on the ground with messy hair. He looked at the nine people with a cold and calm gaze and said softly, "On some things, your words and actions are relatively consistent. You call me ants, and in your heart you really only regard people like us as ants... and this is the reason why I was able to trick you into coming in."

"You little bastard, you really have bad intentions!" When Master Wu sensed the purple light dissipating, he glared and cursed.

Peach Knife Fu Sheng Cuo was still floating behind the stone tablet, emitting only a slight bit of mysterious power, which pressed the nine people down so that they could not move at all.

"I do have bad intentions, but everyone is the same...!"

There was no longer the simple smile on Xing Wu's young face, nor the uneasiness of being a commoner. Instead, there was only a cold and somewhat dull look.

He walked slowly forward and came to the side of Master Wu.

He recalled the past and said calmly, "I was born in a poor family. I followed the hunters from the city to the mountains and did some work within my ability to supplement the family income."

"I know an old hunter who is over 60 years old and has been a ranger for 50 years. However, he still hasn't saved any money. He pays taxes on all his earnings, and the rest he either eats or gives to prostitutes. He comes to the world once, but in the end he is still poor. I asked him why he didn't marry and have children, but he said, in this fucking world, if I marry a wife, I have to feed two mouths. I can eat a big bowl of meat by myself, so why should I share it with others?"

"I've already suffered my whole life. Do I have to continue suffering if I give birth to a child? And let him live like a slave for the rest of his life? This isn't giving birth to a child. This is committing a sin!"

"Little bastard! Don't say such nonsense. Don't forget, at home..." Master Xun was too lazy to listen to these words. He just had a gloomy face and said some threatening words.

"Don't make any noise, just listen to me." Xing Wu looked at him calmly, his body didn't move, and he didn't show any anger.

But for some reason, Master Xun felt a strong sense of coldness, which made him feel a little palpitating and afraid. He was a little dazed and confused for a while, and he didn't know why he was afraid of this wild child in front of him?

"This old hunter is my master. He taught me many things. Among them, the one that I remember most is a sentence he said to me."

Xing Wu strolled in the cave, talking to himself, completely ignoring the nine immortal masters: "He said: A hunter must have three knives. The first one is inserted into the leggings. It is used for hunting within three steps. It is quick to draw the knife, and the movement is concealed. It can save lives in critical moments. The second knife is inserted into the lower back. This knife is used for bleeding, skinning, and dismembering after capturing prey. It is very dirty and smells bloody, so it must be kept in a good leather case."

"Then I asked him, what about the third knife? Where should it be placed? But the master told me that the third knife should be hidden in a place that only you know. I asked him why? He said that the third knife is not for hunting, but for defending against people and killing people. I asked him who to kill? He said that when you encounter the best goods, you may kill whoever is standing closest to you...!"

At this point, he looked up at the nine people and suddenly smiled: "This sentence has saved me many times. Today, you also saw that my third knife... is hidden in this cave."

The nine people were completely stunned when they heard this.

A feeling of regret instantly filled their hearts. They felt that they had been careless and had underestimated this wild boy who looked simple and honest.

"I do have feelings for Chaolong City and Daze Township. Haha, but I'm definitely not nostalgic for the heavy taxes or the life that is worse than death. I have a family, and I made promises to my parents... but later on, I couldn't fulfill them."

"I don't want to leave, but you forced me to come here!"

The young Xing Wu lowered his head, his cold eyes once again showing a trace of unwillingness, and shook his head and said: "Okay, I will tell you a story."

The nine people really wanted to ask, can we stand outside the door and listen? However, facing the peach sword floating in front of them, they still resisted this bold proposal.

"In the emperor's later years, bad luck came from the sky, and the bad luck came from the roof."

Xing Wu slowly raised his head, his eyes looking down upon ants, and told them a story that they had no right to hear in their entire lives: "When misfortune came, the Great Emperor gave up the chance to ascend to heaven in order to protect the safety of the world, and only fought the two gods beside the Great Lake."

"In order to ensure that they could kill the Jiuli Emperor in one battle and completely prevent him from climbing the roof, the two gods from the roof deliberately went to a fairyland called Taoxian Island before they descended. Taoxian Island is the place where the Pingtian Empress practiced Taoism. The Empress had some unknown "feud" with a Dao God named Ku Seng, so in anger, she mistakenly lent the "transcendent treasure" Fusheng to the two gods."

"It is said that the devouring power that Fu Shengcuo possesses is the origin of the great way at the beginning of the creation of the world. It is the perfect counter to the Jiuli Emperor who possesses many treasures."

"Unexpectedly, when the imperial war began, the Jiuli Emperor was invincible, beheaded the two gods and the Daze Lake, and suppressed Fushengcuo with one finger, imprisoning him in the Xingshan Mountain transformed from his flesh."

"Emperor Jiuli has not yet ascended to heaven, but he has the invincibility that is comparable to the gods outside the sky. He is truly the greatest pride and glory of Jiuli."

"Even though the treasure is great, it is useless if the wrong person uses it."

When the nine people heard this, more than a hundred question marks arose in their minds.

How could a kid like him who had not yet attained enlightenment know about the imperial war that happened countless years ago? Could he be a reincarnated person? !

"hehe."

Xing Wu seemed to see through their thoughts and just smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. I also sensed these things from the Tao rhyme of this peach knife. It's like listening to a story."

"You... you have really been here before?!" Master Xun's voice trembled. He secretly cursed himself for being careless. He wanted to slap himself a few times in regret, but he suppressed his peach knife tightly and did not give him this chance.
