Chapter 187: Chapter 186 Yao Honglei

The two of them flew north through the sky, with Yao Honglei eyeing Tie Dan’s tough body the whole way.

Tie Dan, "What are you doing?"

Yao Honglei, "You’ve seen all of me, can’t I check you out?"

Tie Dan, "Go ahead."

When he really turned his head away and ignored her, Yao Honglei was flustered.

Yet, being one of the nine great Immortals, long accustomed to the Jianghu, she understood that not all men would throw themselves at her feet. Though this person’s gaze was fierce, he was dignified, with a robust build and graceful manners like an athletic wolfdog. He had indeed seen all of her, left her discarded for a day and a night, likely someone well-versed in the world and not lacking Daoist companions. Oh, speaking of which...

"Are you the new disciple that master took in? What’s your name?"

Tie Dan was using Purple Mist True Qi to fly. He naturally deduced her master based on her wooden hairpin and Qi Gong. However, Mr. He Lin had clearly stated that he was here to sever karmic ties, not to engage in gossip, so he casually said,

"My surname is Zhou. I met the senior by chance and am merely repaying a debt of gratitude. After fulfilling the task, we’ll part ways, no need for deep connections."

Hmm, this time let’s use Senior Brother Zhou’s identity. After all, Mr. He Lin’s letter said nothing of Senior Brother Zhou’s whereabouts, but since Xiao Liu is alive and found, Tie Dan won’t give up hope.

So Yao Honglei said,

"Junior Brother Zhou, from your current cultivation, you’ve learned a lot from him over the years. You should call me Senior Sister."

Hey, you’re quite adept at climbing up the ladder...

Tie Dan snorted coldly, ignoring her.

Yao Honglei pouted,

"Don’t call if you don’t want to. I sneaked down the mountain, I indeed have no qualms calling myself his disciple... how is Master?"

Tie Dan replied,

"Not well."

He’s probably getting infuriated to death.

Yao Honglei sighed,

"I know I’ve angered the old man..."

Ha, just you?

Tie Dan couldn’t even be bothered to respond.

Yao Honglei, however, indulged in her own melancholy, introducing her backstory and unfolding some plot details,

"I have my reasons too. Junior Brother might not know; I was originally an outer disciple of Luofu Mountain’s Yaozhen Sect, childhood betrothal to my Senior Brother, Huang Jing.

Both the Yao and Huang families have long been cultivation families residing near Luofu Mountain, members of Honzan’s disciples for generations, mutually watching over each other and on friendly terms. Hence, it was agreed that after I achieve Golden Core, I shall marry Senior Brother.

Yet fate is unpredictable, my family ancestor perished during his attempt to ascend to Divinity Transformation Realm, and the past few generations had only me managing to form a core, causing the family to decline over time. The Huang family, however, gained fortune, producing several True Realms consecutively, and their ancestor successfully transformed into Divinity, becoming a new elder at Luofu Mountain, thus looking down on our Yao family’s status.

Later, Senior Brother, backed by his family, advanced faster and achieved Golden Core Perfection, then was arranged by his sect to explore the world alongside that fox spirit vixen... a disciple from Lingxiao Sect of Luofu Mountain, Yan Yuying from the Yan family of Xun Country. Hmph! Exploring all the way into bed!

Yet, as the two had consummated, Lingxiao Sect’s Sect Leader personally mediated, and the Yan family, being Gate Valve officials, offered endless gold and silver dowries, causing the Huang family to break their engagement with us!

Even my Senior Brother suggested that she should be the main and I the concubine! Ha!? It was clearly me first! I should play second to her!? I spit on that!

I initially intended to kill this heartless betrayer on the spot! But was momentarily swayed, failed to act, and that fox spirit seized the initiative!

She claimed that in her past life, she was a True Disciple of Luofu Mountain’s Chongxu Temple, sworn brothers with Lingxiao Sect Leader! Her current life is a reincarnation by means of soldier disintegration, having seized Lady Yan’s body for rebirth!

She said she desired my Senior Brother’s Xuan Yang Fire Gathering Taoist Body, perfect for Dual Cultivation, hence set traps and cast spells to bewitch and steal him away!

She even provoked me, stating that it wasn’t impossible for me to marry into the Huang family as a concubine, as long as I give birth with Senior Brother to a Daoist child with at least a Nine-pulse Pure Yang Red Evil Dao Body for her future reincarnation use!

Enraged, I drew my sword to wound her, little expecting to be ensnared by that fox spirit!

In the end, I was painted as someone consumed by jealousy and rage, harming fellow disciples in broad daylight, and thus was expelled by Yaozhen Sect from the sect!

Not only that, the vixen even arranged assassins in the dark, ambushing me to destroy all with no mercy! Ruining my Primordial Yin, endangering my life! Cutting Senior Brother’s concerns for me!

In my desperate times, if it weren’t for Master protecting me, I’d have long been killed or fallen to unspeakable misery!

Master hoped I could break through my emotional tribulations, sever worldly ties, and inherit his Daoist Inheritance. Alas, I failed his expectations, constantly thinking of that vixen, vexing me! Hence, I stole his Divine Skills and Treasures and escaped the mountain to pursue that fox spirit!

Unfortunately, that wretched vixen has myriad connections, with help from Chongxu Temple, Lingxiao Sect, and Yaozhen Sect, as well as her hypocrisy appearing pure as a white lotus!

Even my Senior Brother assists her now! Not only refusing my harm towards her, but turning against me, dealing heavy strikes!

Therefore, I’ve been stranded all this time, unable to succeed, delaying my Daoist cultivation ultimately..."

This woman babbles a lot...

Tie Dan frowned heavily.

With her chattering like this, she just keeps rambling and whining endlessly, can’t she just say where and whom to kill, it’s so irritating...

Seeing her passionately babbling, spitting furiously, chest heaving, almost exposing flesh, Tie Dan quickly interrupted,

"Stop. Just get to the point. What’s their current realm, cultivation, and any lethal skills or techniques they’ve got?"

Yao Honglei took a deep breath, suppressing the intense rise and fall of her chest,

"That fox spirit is a Purple-Blue Dao Seed, Returning Dust Purple Mist Double Spiritual Roots, specializing in Lingxiao Sect Purple-Blue Cloud True Qi. My Senior Brother has a Red Evil Dao Body, refining Zhu Ming Bright True Divine Skill.

I once relied on my early Nascent Soul Formation, crushed them in realm, chased them twice, failing by Luofu Mountain’s intervention. Later, each time I’m close to catching them, someone helps them escape and hide, so I haven’t directly fought them for years.

But I heard that both have now achieved significant power, forming Nascent Souls! They’re not only True Disciples within their factions but also key disciples under True Realm leadership at Luofu Mountain! The Huang and Yan families are immensely wealthy, so they definitely don’t lack Protective Dharma Treasures!"

Tie Dan nodded after hearing this,

"Oh, no wonder they robbed your Daoist companion. The two of them Dual Cultivating will continuously enhance each other with their elements, an excellent match indeed.

The man being with you would be pointless. Your temper is so fierce, always offending others, you two would have constant quarrels with no peace."

Yao Honglei was infuriated,

"Hey! Whose side are you on?!"

Tie Dan shrugged,

"I’ll help whoever benefits me more. So rest assured, Luofu Mountain can’t possibly offer more than your Master."

Yao Honglei paused, sighed deeply,

"Is, is that so... I’ve repeatedly disappointed the old man, even stealing his techniques, yet Master still bears no grudge, willing to send you to save me from peril.

Sadly, my life’s entangled with too many grudges and vendettas, causing only trouble. His great kindness, Honglei can only repay with my life..."

Tie Dan squinted,

"Do you still remember what Master looks like?"

Yao Honglei nodded emotionally,

"He’s a kind and amiable, wise and sagacious elder, why?"

"Oh, a wise elder, huh..."

Having tangled with Mr. He Lin for several rounds, Tie Dan figured out what kind of person he was dealing with.

This bastard calculates everything too wisely; who could easily steal anything from him?

He Lin of Hutong Mountain is a True Disciple of Mystic Sect, would not easily intervene in karma, but He Lin the old plantersgate is an unscrupulous standard Old Xuan Sect through and through.

Since he doesn’t show his true face, and even hahahaha could see that Yao Honglei doesn’t really have a Hidden Immortal True Inheritant.

Meaning, when he contacted Yao Honglei, he already had plans in mind to use this Mystic Sect outcast as his pawn.

After all, even Tie Dan could see that Yao Honglei is impulsive, easily angered, and lacks foresight, with such an eye-catching appearance, clearly meant to attract attention wherever she goes, a false front.

So behind her esteemed Immortal Jiang Ying name, who knows how many good deeds Mr. He Lin secretly did, how much he gained, all blamed on her. Otherwise, why would ending karma involve ’killing her’ at all?

Really sold out yet counting cash for them...

Oh well, those who can’t see through it will be played forever, if you can’t handle it then don’t play. That’s the rule of the Mystic Sect game.

The Three Great Sects, not a good time for anyone...

"Junior Brother, hold on a moment."

Suddenly, Yao Honglei frowned, cast a hand seal, and tore the red veil covering her lower body, like a python surged forward, forming a curtain that surrounded them in the midst of the clouds.

Tie Dan didn’t speak either, because he also felt it, a Nascent Soul Realm expert’s Divine Sense was locking on them, flying rapidly their way.

Typically, when cultivators fly and encounter each other mid-air, their Divine Sense will touch briefly then veer apart in a wide arc to avoid conflict. But for one to lock onto and fly straight at them, it signifies ill intent, be it murder or robbery, surely no benign intent.

What’s more...

Tie Dan glanced at Yao Honglei’s body, silently drew out his flute.

Ready for the robbery.
