Chapter 10, What Benefits Do I Gain from Killing You (Part 2)

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

"What a clever scheme!" Yang Chen suddenly let out a cold laugh: "The Dan Yu Absolute Valley, a place of entry but no exit. The Eight Treasure Wind Copper Mirror, it cannot be escaped! I have no intention of deceiving you, senior, yet you seem intent on taking my life. It cannot be helped; I have offended you!"

Since that is the case, I have no more wishes left, so go ahead and act! The celestial soldier, however, had no concerns at all; with his eyes closed, he simply awaited Yang Chen to take action

Laozi traversed the world without attachments, having no wishes that a mere mortal like you needs to fulfill. There is no point in saying more; let us take action! The third one spoke with great decisiveness, not waiting for Yang Chen to ask, but taking the initiative to speak.

I know! Yang Chen knows because, after the year 2000, this medicinal garden was discovered. A certain medium-sized sect lost dozens of Nascent Soul experts, and it was only through this method that they were able to enter. Naturally, Yang Chen would not explain the reasons to the mountain deity, but continued: "After ascension, unless one is willing to deplete their cultivation and fall in realm, no one can convey such a message to the lower realm. Senior, I assure you, this medicinal garden will no longer be tarnished. Please rest assured on your journey!"

As soon as Yang Chen's words landed, the scholar's expression changed dramatically. Not only him, but even the multitude of immortals below also showed a significant change in their expressions

"Hahaha! You young one, quite clever indeed, to know there is a trick. " The scholar laughed heartily: "By chance, I know of the Dan Yu Absolute Valley; it seems your life is not meant to end just yet. However, I am already in such a state, death is imminent. I wonder, aside from death, what other offenses do you speak of?"

With a snap, the fierce blade flashed, and the celestial soldiers also fell on the Immortal Slaying Platform. However, the merit points in the ring only increased by over one hundred thousand, indicating that the status of these soldiers is even lower than that of the land.

"Xiangyang Yam Garden?" Yang Chen's mind stirred slightly, and he casually replied: "The Seven-Step Soul-Confounding Killing Formation, advance three steps, retreat two, move left one, ascend one, turn seven and a half times, repeat seven times, requires water elemental energy to enter the formation, forty-nine steps in total, one misstep, and there is no mercy in the killing. The senior left behind quite a few good things. Thank you!"

You say you won't touch it, so you won't? Although the scholar is bound, his eyes move swiftly: "I fear it may not be up to you."

"There is a reason for every grievance, and every debt has its owner. You and I have no past grievances or present enmities. I am merely fulfilling my duty and acting on orders, and I apologize for any offense caused!" The other party responded readily, and Yang Chen felt even more at ease. After exchanging a few words, the knife was drawn swiftly and decisively, leaving everything in utter disarray. Aside from increasing Yang Chen's merit points by several dozen and altering his spiritual roots and meridians, nothing else remained.

You are all esteemed individuals, while I am merely a humble mortal, unworthy of boasting. Yang Chen maintained his calm tone: "What I can do, I will attempt; what I cannot do, my abilities are limited, and I do not dare to make any guarantees to you all. However, you are all beings of the immortal realm; after your demise, everything is settled, and there is no need to hope for reincarnation. The things left behind are entirely unrelated to you. If there is anything to be passed on to the younger generation, I will not impose; please feel free to decide for yourselves."

"There is a reason for every grievance, and every debt has its owner. You and I have no past grievances or present enmities. I am merely fulfilling my duty and acting on orders, so I apologize for any offense!" Before executing each immortal, Yang Chen would always patiently recite these words. Only after saying this would Yang Chen proceed with the blade

"How do you know?" Hearing Yang Chen say it almost word for word, the mountain god could hardly believe his ears. What he had thought was known only to himself was laid bare before Yang Chen, leaving him utterly astonished.

In the book "Revenge has its roots, debts have their owners, you and I have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the present, I am merely fulfilling my duty, acting on orders, and I apologize for any offense!" Yang Chen did not insist, as the words had already been spoken. He did not guarantee that he could fulfill their wishes, nor did he force anyone to accept it. If they were unwilling to accept, Yang Chen would naturally not be angered, for after the other party's death, their life essence would certainly benefit him.

"I am but a humble person, yet I happen to know a technique to sever the immortals and vanquish the demons." Yang Chen said with a cold smile on his face, yet his tone remained unremarkable: "Although I am merely a mortal without any magical power, with the Severing Immortals Platform in hand, I can still demonstrate a thing or two. Senior, before you meet your end, do enjoy it well!"

The method of collection is ... ... '' The mountain deity looked at Yang Chen in astonishment and spoke the method of collection.

Thank you very much, senior! Yang Chen expresses his gratitude once again

"Very well, I also have unfulfilled wishes. You may kill a few more people, and I will leave you some good things." The scholar smiled faintly for a moment, then turned to Yang Chen and said, "In the Dan Yu Valley of Lu Qing Mountain, there are treasures and elixirs left by me. After you go out, you may search for them there. Whether you can find them depends on your fortune"

Although his voice was not loud, within the Immortal Slaying Platform, Yang Chen's voice was easily heard by everyone. Naturally, his words were registered in the ears of all present.

I am merely a tool of execution, not involved in the cause and effect! Yang Chen paid no heed to the mocking tone of the other party and replied in a calm manner: "Although you all died at my hands, the root cause of your deaths does not lie with me. If one must seek accountability, it should be directed at the one who issued the orders. If you have any grievances, direct them towards your true enemies! I am merely an executioner, not involved in the cause and effect!"

However, the essence of life from the small soldier is several times richer than that of the land. Inhaling it in one breath and absorbing it through cultivation took several times longer than it did with the land. Just with the two of them, Yang Chen already felt a tremendous change within his body. As expected, he was not mistaken; killing an immortal was over ten thousand times more effective than killing a mortal.

Upon entering the Immortal Slaying Platform, Yang Chen's self-reference was almost entirely as "I". Any of the slain immortals, if taken at random, could be considered his seniors. Therefore, Yang Chen only referred to them as "senior" and referred to himself as "I", without any other titles.

"Why do you say these words every time before you strike?" The fifth person, who appeared to be a scholar, did not seem to hold any official position. He approached Yang Chen and asked him this question, even with a hint of sarcasm: "Are you afraid that after beheading the immortal, you will not meet a good end, feeling guilty perhaps?"

It is simple to enter; just walk in. To exit, you will need to use the Eight Treasure Wind Copper Mirror to stabilize the formation before you can leave the valley. The scholar's response was also very swift, without the slightest hesitation

The old man had little to say, only that in the future, you should take the opportunity to eliminate a few more traitors. The next mountain deity, however, was also a person unwilling to resign to fate. After speaking, without waiting for Yang Chen to urge him, he continued on his own: "Before I ascended, I left a medicinal garden for my juniors. Unfortunately, I left in a hurry and did not have the chance to inform them. I am giving it to you; it is located on Xiangyang Mountain. I had previously set up restrictions there, so you will undoubtedly encounter some trouble when you try to enter."

Is there any particular etiquette for entering and exiting Dan Yu Valley?" Yang Chen asked in a steady tone.

"Whether to engage or not, it all depends on my own thoughts." Yang Chen, however, was not angry; he simply replied to himself, "To slay you all is my duty, and I have no regrets. When I say I will not engage, then I will not engage." His words, imbued with immense confidence, left the scholar feeling disheartened.

"Cannot see through!" The mountain deity merely uttered this phrase. At this juncture, no one harbored any thoughts of survival; everyone understood clearly that it was the essence of immortals. Each individual's demeanor left Yang Chen in admiration.
