Chapter 231 The Conman 31
Ling Yi tried to pull her hand away, but the silly bird was too strong, and she was forced to enjoy it.
Having been taken advantage of enough, Wu Jin felt deeply cheated and pulled his clothes tighter, saying demurely, "Now you can talk about your business."
"Go! Monitor Bai Qihuai!" Ling Yi, who also felt she had been wronged, gave the order without any politeness.
That old bastard is cunning and won't let his guard down just because he didn't do anything to arouse suspicion before. So he'll definitely strike first before anyone else can act against him.
Ling Yi wanted to eliminate him completely, from root to branch, and also send his foolish son, Cheng Ye, down with him.
Wu Jin sighed, "Having taken enough advantage, this is the kind of attitude you show. You're truly heartless."
Before he could be kicked, he vanished into thin air in a flash.
Ling Yi, left standing there, was speechless.
She's still here!
Silly bird!
"I forgot." The silly bird darted back and grabbed Ling Yi's waist.
Ling Yi gripped the red string on her wrist, gritting her teeth: "This thing really should be longer!"
When you can't find the bird, just lead it by the leash; that's much more effective than relying on Wu Jin's brain.
"Do we really have to do it this way?" Wu Jin looked at the rather unattractive red rope with mixed feelings, unable to accept Ling Yi's aesthetic sense.
"If you insist, I'll scoop Bai Ze out." So what if he's still inside the amniotic sac? At worst, he'll be a premature lamb.
Ling Yi pinched his mouth: "That's enough. You're not suited to thinking about two things at the same time. Do the first thing first."
"Ok."
Wu Jin was foolish, but truly obedient.
The fact that Bai Qihuai was being followed by an ancient demon that was rarely seen was something Bai Qihuai could never have discovered.
After waking his son, the old man cautiously stayed at home for a week before tentatively summoning the demons and ghosts he had raised.
At first, it was a shaggy fox with shallow cultivation, seemingly not yet having had the chance to absorb human lives to cultivate.
Having summoned the fox to his side for several days, Bai Qihuai did not notice any unusual surveillance. Without hesitation, he dissected the demon core of the scruffy fox amidst its screams of agony.
When faced with such cruelty to his fellow human beings, Wu Jin's reaction was to find Ling Yi a stool in the void and transform himself into an internet-addicted old man to read a hundred useless tips on love.
Foxes, rabbits, weasels—Bai Qihuai cautiously summoned all sorts of demons and ghosts. After several attempts without anyone stopping him, he finally mustered his courage and summoned all his puppets at once.
On that day, the sky above this mountain seemed to be flowing with ink, exuding an evil aura.
It's unclear where Bai Qihuai found the puppet contract, but under this contract, those demons and ghosts who had absorbed countless lives and were much stronger than him became lambs to the slaughter, allowing him to extract their demon cores and ghost cores one by one, until they lost their lives.
Bai Chengye had been depressed in the secret room for a long time, but one day he suddenly noticed something strange about his home.
This overwhelming display made it seem as if all the demons in the world had come to his house seeking revenge.
He was nervous and carefully left the secret room, carrying the copper coin sword. He followed the wall and made his way towards the direction where the demonic energy was strongest.
Then, he saw a scene that shocked him to his core.
Countless monster corpses lay scattered before his father, and his hand rested on the dantian of a vengeful ghost.
A shrill whistle pierced his ears, and he saw the vengeful ghost, its core removed, vanish into thin air as wisps of smoke. His father calmly reached out to the next terrified demon.
In that instant, he remembered his father's words: "Nothing more than a puppet."
I see……
It turned out to be the case.
Hua Dai was also one of the puppets her father kept. It was a pity that he was in unbearable pain when he first saw Hua Dai harming humans, and he blamed himself for being a Taoist and so depraved.
At that time, he never imagined that the mastermind behind the atrocities against humanity was actually his own father.
"Come out." Bai Qihuai, who was extracting demon pills as easily as eating melon seeds, had already sensed Bai Chengye's presence the moment he appeared.
“Father.” Bai Chengye walked out from the wall, carrying the copper coin sword, looking at his father with a sorrowful expression and the jade box beside him containing countless demon cores.
"How...how could you?"
His father taught him to slay demons and monsters from a young age, but how could the greatest demon be his own father?
He gripped the sword tightly, his expression one of struggle.
A hint of disgust flashed across Bai Qihuai's face as he said indifferently, "Don't put on airs in front of me."
Bai Qihuai knew that his education had failed long ago, when this fool got involved with Hua Dai.
He originally intended to train a righteous and upright successor to carry on his work after he vanquished demons.
Perhaps the succession was disrupted from his point of view. He failed to train a successor to his dream, but instead produced a cowardly, hypocritical fool.
He can't be a good person, and he can't be a completely bad person either. If he weren't his son, he would have killed him long ago.
Bai Chengye's face paled at his father's words, but he forced himself to remain calm: "How could you..."
"Kill me, or shut up," Bai Qihuai said impatiently, but his hand never stopped reaching for the demon core.
Only after the last wolf howled and disappeared before him did Bai Qihuai turn to look at his son, clutching the full jade box.
"I originally intended to spare Hua Dai's life, but unfortunately..."
Hearing that familiar name, Bai Chengye felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Was she... also someone you ordered to do?"
It turns out that his struggles and pain all stemmed from his father.
A hint of mockery flashed in Bai Qihuai's eyes. He waved his hand slightly and said, "Let's not talk about the past. Let me ask you, do you want to avenge Hua Dai?"
These two words alone ignited a raging fire in Bai Chengye's heart.
How can I not think about it?
Although Hua Dai was coerced by her father, she had never actually killed a person with her own hands. How could she be treated like this?
Without Hua Dai, he was like a walking corpse. The only thought that kept him alive was to avenge Hua Dai.
But it seems that what my father did was not a good thing. Was he going to bring disaster to the world for the sake of one person?
He tightened and loosened his grip on the copper coin sword, and finally took a deep breath: "Father, I think..."
"I'd do anything to avenge Hua Dai."
Since the people have betrayed his Hua Dai, why should he keep those promises he made before?
No matter the cost, he would make Ling Yi pay the price.
He also wants to eliminate Wu Jin, who is protecting him!
"very good."
Bai Qihuai nodded in satisfaction and gave a few demon cores to Bai Chengye: "Improve your cultivation, and set off with me in three days!"
He had prepared that formation for a long time.
Although the offerings were harvested ahead of schedule, they are still barely enough.
He would ultimately have to give his life for the sake of all living beings.
Before that, he had other things to do.
