Chapter 668: Chapter 668: The Death of Divine Wuji

"Why... why... did you have to treat me this way..."

Divine Wuji murmured, seemingly having lost his soul, his heart dead, even Qin Jun could hear the sound of his heart shattering.

No one could understand Divine Wuji’s feelings for the Black Butterfly Fairy, his entire life granted by her. Though they bore no official master-disciple title, he still held great respect and affection for her in his heart. He never expected that since Qin Jun appeared, the Black Butterfly Fairy would become so heartless.

Perhaps this was the real her.

When he first met the Black Butterfly Fairy, even as a child he thought her to be cold and unfeeling, yet later interactions had accustomed him to her indifference.

"Tsk tsk, even so, why let him end up in such a state?" Qin Jun asked meaningfully.

Removing Divine Wuji from his position as temple master was one thing, but why imprison him like a pig or a dog?

He suddenly felt the Black Butterfly Fairy was quite heartless. He could see Divine Wuji’s love for her; back then, at the base of Saint Emperor Peak, Divine Wuji had held back for her, when he could have killed Qin Jun.

"It wasn’t her, it was my insistence. She just wanted me to replace your position as temple master!"

Zun Rudao spoke solemnly, resolving himself to clear the air since there was no other way.

"Divine Wuji, you’re too narrow-minded and selfish, only ever good to the Black Butterfly Fairy. If you were left to recover in comfort, once your injuries healed, you would surely have killed me. If not for her intervention, you’d already be dead!"

Speaking to this point, his tone became incredibly sinister.

Divine Wuji was silent, looking up with a bitter laugh. "Hahaha... Divine Wuji, who roamed freely throughout his life, to end up like this at death’s door, without a single person to save me, it’s all because I wasn’t strong enough..."

"No regrets in this life, only that I was too weak, if there is an afterlife, I will become even stronger!"

The melancholic tone was moving, even Qin Jun couldn’t help but sigh, feeling unexpectedly listless in this moment.

Even facing death, Divine Wuji was so obsessed; Qin Jun didn’t consider him foolish, because what he said was the truth.

All tragedies in the world arise from the lack of strength of those involved, even if some are due to innate factors.

Had Divine Wuji been stronger, the heavens of Great Qin wouldn’t have been able to do anything to him, nor would Zun Rudao, and how could he have ended up like this?

Of course, Divine Wuji’s management approach also had issues, and Qin Jun didn’t endorse his management skills.

"Kill me then!"

Divine Wuji struggled to his feet, intent on dying standing!

Qin Jun nodded indifferently, Luo Shixin understood the signal, and with a thrust of his spear, pierced Divine Wuji’s chest, shattering his heart.

This sight made Zun Rudao’s brow furrow, but he didn’t say anything more since he, too, wished for Divine Wuji’s death, only restrained by the Black Butterfly Fairy’s objections.

Consciousness fading away.

Divine Wuji slowly lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at the Black Butterfly Fairy. He didn’t speak, his gaze full of reluctance; he never harbored any resentment towards the Black Butterfly Fairy, only unwillingness.

His mouth moved without making a sound, but everyone could make out what he wanted to say.

Take care of yourself.

The Black Butterfly Fairy closed her beautiful eyes, unable to bear watching the scene.

Qin Jun frowned deeply, as if Divine Wuji’s dying curse was upon him; he felt nothing, but Divine Wuji’s inability to let go of the Black Butterfly Fairy even in death touched him deeply.

"Ding! Side quest completed—Eliminate the God Temple! Rewards: host level increase by one, one God and Demon summon chance, one random draw, one talent search chance, one God and Demon peak chance!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through the second layer of the True Immortal Realm!"

Two system notification sounds in quick succession, breaking through the small realm, caused heat to surge within Qin Jun, his aura skyrocketing, drawing surprised glances from Zun Rudao and others.

The task of eliminating the God Temple only required killing Divine Wuji; there was no actual need to dismantle the temple itself.

Qin Jun didn’t feel any joy, his expression still somber, lost in thought.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Jun spoke, then led Luo Shixin, Sun Wukong, Pipa, and the True Immortal with the Ruyi along out of the prison.

As he passed by the Black Butterfly Fairy, she suddenly asked, "Do you dislike me for being like this?"

"How could I?" Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, then continued walking forward without looking back.

The group quickly vanished around the corner of the corridor.

Zun Rudao couldn’t help asking, "What exactly is your relationship with him?"

Even a fool could tell that the Black Butterfly Fairy cared a great deal about Qin Jun, even to the point of blindness.

The Black Butterfly Fairy turned to leave, leaving behind a sentence that left Zun Rudao utterly perplexed: "He’s the most important."

Looking again at the body of Divine Wuji, Zun Rudao breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy is finally dead!

He knew well how ruthless Divine Wuji was; as long as Divine Wuji lived, he would never know peace.

...

"You better treat her well!"

Walking down the corridor, Qin Jun suddenly heard Ji Yongsheng’s voice, prompting him to purse his lips and think to himself, "Of course I will!"

Although he sympathized with Divine Wuji, he felt no aversion towards the Black Butterfly Fairy. The memory of her standing in front of him that one time was still deeply etched in his mind, unforgettable.

She was also Ji Yongsheng’s disciple, effectively making her a fellow sect member to Qin Jun.

He had never admitted it and even suspected Ji Yongsheng, but subconsciously, he had started to regard Ji Yongsheng almost like a master.

"Back then, that girl was also naive and cheerful." Ji Yongsheng lamented, tens of thousands of years had passed, even the most innocent person would change.

But it was good that the Black Butterfly Fairy was so kind to Qin Jun.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes, wondering why the sudden melancholy.

"Tsk tsk, the lady is truly deeply attached to Your Majesty," Pipa suddenly spoke up, for a woman understands women best, and she could tell from the way the Black Butterfly Fairy looked at Qin Jun.

Qin Jun snorted, "Bollocks, with my peerless charm, who could not love me?"

Sun Wukong, Luo Shixin, and the True Immortal with the Ruyi all had the corners of their mouths twitch.

Pipa, however, nodded with a smile saying, "His Majesty is indeed handsome."

As they conversed, she even licked her lips and gazed at Qin Jun with shining eyes, making his heart skip a beat.

Holy crap!

This female demon couldn’t have fallen for him, could she?

Just thinking about getting frisky with Pipa in bed, leading to her excitement and then... poisoning...

Qin Jun couldn’t help but shiver at the thought—it was too terrifying. It seemed he should not flirt with this female demon.

Even Tathāgata feared her poison, and even though Qin Jun cultivated the Indestructible Holy Body, he wasn’t sure he could withstand it.

"System, begin the summoning of the God and Demon!"

Qin Jun commanded inwardly, wishing to end his conversation with Pipa.

Divine Wuji’s death had brought him significant rewards.

He didn’t want to waste them.

Once the Torch Dragon awakened, a congregation of powers would ensue, fraught with danger, and the more powerful allies by his side, the better.

"Ding! Starting random summoning of God and Demon!"

The party of five fell silent again, but the God Temple was so vast, and walking through it would take a very long time.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Qing, from Legend of the White Snake. Would you like to summon again?"
