Chapter 495: Chapter 261: Heaven Doesn’t Help Me, Can You Endure It?

Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu appeared and, surprisingly, first sought Zheng Fa. Not finding Zheng Fa, he seemed even more confident.

His visible change in expression made Master Cheng Kong wonder—why did this person fear Zheng Fa so much?

But clearly, Netherworld Immortal Qin Mu was not going to explain.

Qin Mu stood in the clouds, his clothes and hair whipped up by the sea breeze, undulating as unpredictably as the spiritual power within him.

It was clear that the injuries sustained from the major battle days ago were still affecting him.

Yet, he seemed unconcerned, merely turning his head slightly, his gaze sweeping across several formidable enemies in front of him.

"Supreme Dao, Tianhe Sect, Yaochi, Haori Mountain..." he muttered, "Master, to deal with me alone, you actually invited six Divinity Transformations..."

"Do you hate me, your disciple, so much that you wish me dead?"

Mingde Master discreetly signaled to others, Xie Qingxue and the other five understood and dispersed, encircling Qin Mu front and back, completely blocking his path.

Without moving his head, Qin Mu just looked at Mingde Master, his eyes subtly smiling, seemingly not worried at all.

Instead, Mingde Master couldn’t make up his mind, becoming more cautious, fearing an ambush nearby.

He knew this disciple was ruthless and cunning, hence he wanted to outnumber him to prevent surprises.

But Qin Mu’s demeanor made him feel the situation was beyond his expectations.

He dared not act recklessly, only saying, "Hate you?"

"I didn’t pass on the ’Liangyi True Understanding’ to you, yet you impersonated me, stole from the Chuan Gong Hall, and even killed two senior fellow disciples there." Mingde Master observed their surroundings but spoke with evident anger, "Because of this, I reflected in the True Fire Cave for three hundred years, suffering the torment of heavenly fire daily."

"It’s not just about me; over these years, the disciples of Supreme Dao who have died by your hand number over ten, three of whom you possessed..."

"My hands, too, are stained with the blood of Supreme Dao’s disciples because of you!"

"Stealing the true law, betraying your master, slaughtering your peers, shouldn’t I hate you?" Mingde Master’s hair trembled, seemingly in extreme anger, he continued, "I hate myself even more, for having taught such a disciple!"

"Now your Great Freedom Demon Sect is defeated utterly, and you are in a deadly situation."

"It shows not that I hate you excessively, but that heaven intends for this disloyal and unfilial person to die!"

His words grew increasingly angry, and by the end, his eyes were splitting with fury.

Yet, Qin Mu’s smile lingered on his face, even nodding slightly as if agreeing with his master’s words, only to chuckle lightly in the end:

"Heaven’s will?"

"Really, has heaven not aided me?"

He no longer looked at Mingde Master, but rather focused on Master Cheng Kong, seemingly puzzled, and asked:

"My Great Freedom Demon Sect gathering Divinity Transformations in Chen County was top secret. The Five Directions Blood Killing Formation was nearing completion when suddenly you, my fellow apprentice, broke in, almost ruining our efforts. Was this also heaven’s will?"

Master Cheng Kong was momentarily stunned.

Why had he broken into the formation?

Oh, that’s right, Zheng Fa had sent him a message saying that the Great Freedom Demon Sect in Chen County intended to resurrect the Demon Ancestor.

Given the urgent situation, he could only rush into the formation armed with the Quiet Bamboo, catching the Great Freedom Demon Sect off guard.

While he reminisced, Netherworld Immortal continued:

"Also, later, when I killed the Yin Yang Rakshasa and refined the Five Directions Blood Slaughter Flag..."

"At that time, I encountered Fairy Xie." His eyes briefly met Xie Qingxue’s, "and the Demon Ancestor’s Dharma Body was broken, another calamity."

"It’s nothing... I cultivate both immortality and demon arts, having survived countless death calamities."

"Yet somehow, someone managed to steal a Blood Slaughter Flag right under my eyes..."

"And that person was just a Golden Core!"

"Even with all my meticulous planning, how could I anticipate a Golden Core being so capable?" Despite his calm demeanor earlier when speaking to Mingde Master, the two incidents clearly frustrated him, he laughed, "If this is not heaven refusing to help me, how else can it be explained?"

Master Cheng Kong bowed his head, secretly pondering, thinking of another explanation: _{free\we\bnov(e)(l).com}

The first formation breaking, although he initiated it, the information was passed by Zheng Fa.

The second, although mainly attributed to Fairy Xie, the critical tipping point was still Zheng Fa.

What’s this about heaven not aiding you?

It is clearly Zheng Fa thwarting you!

Thinking this, Master Cheng Kong found Netherworld Immortal’s wariness quite reasonable.

However, Mingde Master, unaware of his thoughts, having heard Netherworld Immortal’s words, loudly declared: "Knowing it’s the will of heaven, do you still intend to resist stubbornly?"

"Heaven’s will?" Netherworld Immortal laughed, he turned to look at the surrounding Divinity Transformations, chuckled, and said, "Is heaven’s will always right?"

"Heaven’s will led to the Tianhe Venerable’s death!"

"Is that also right?"

Behind him, a sword rang out, Xie Qingxue’s face frosty, her eyes filled with hostility, holding the Qingping Sword, she shouted angrily: "How dare you compare yourself to our founder?"

"You Tianhe Sect even dare to claim to be the orthodox lineage of Tianhe, why can’t I compare?"

Xie Qingxue pursed her lips, her Qingping Sword brimming with sword energy, cutting the surrounding white clouds into fine strands.

After observing for a long time and detecting no ambush, Mingde Master could no longer hold back, reaching into the clouds he pulled out the Quiet Bamboo, pointing it directly at Qin Mu.

"Today, even if heaven doesn’t kill you, I will!"

The people around also showcased their divine skills; besides Xie Qingxue with her Qingping Sword, the Divinity Transformation from Yaochi was surrounded by a scarf of twilight-red silk, and the person from Haori Mountain took down his long bow, aiming at Qin Mu.

Even Master Cheng Kong led two more Divinity Transformations from Supreme Dao, their energies subtly interweaving, awe-inspiring.

Everyone was confident; while Qin Mu was formidable, he was alone and severely wounded at this time.
