Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang stood up. Evil people like Zhang Tianyou and Granny Zhou were a great opportunity for her to cultivate and become stronger. If Zhang Tianyou wanted to live, he had to absorb vitality. If she encountered him, she had to catch him.
Granny Zhou was also ridden with sins and it was a great opportunity to capture her too.
Zhang Tianyou gritted his teeth. He took out a black jar and poured the content into his mouth. His eyes turned red and he turned to run without hesitation. Liu Sanniang quickly caught up with him. She tapped Zhang Tianyou on the back and he fell to the ground.
Liu Sanniang grabbed Zhang Tianyou’s hand and released an overwhelming power, instantly crushing him. Zhang Tianyou’s body trembled and he curled up like a shrimp. At this moment, he was already too powerless to fight back.
Liu Sanniang easily broke his mental defense.
When Liu Sanniang sensed Zhang Tianyou’s memories, she knew why he had found her so quickly. After Zhang Tianyou left the fishing village, he used the worms to trade with others and absorbed the vitality of many people. What he sold the most were all-purpose worms which could control people’s hearts. Most of the people who bought from him were women. In this world, it was the most painful when one’s love wasn’t reciprocated. To win the heart of their lover, one would do anything.
Liu Sanniang let go, and Zhang Tianyou spat out a large mouthful of black blood.
Zhang Tianyou looked at Liu Sanniang coldly as he cursed. “I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost, you bitch!”
Liu Sanniang stood up calmly. “Let’s talk about it when you become a ghost.”
The Worm King in Zhang Tianyou’s body was already dead. The poison would spread from his body and he would die like Miao Zhen.
Zhang Tianyou looked at Liu Sanniang with hatred. He regretted it. He thought that Liu Sanniang was young and had not yet fully reached her potential. If he could absorb her vitality, he could get rid of this weak body. However, he did not expect Liu Sanniang to be so powerful.
Zhang Tianyou staggered. His internal organs felt like they were shattering. When he opened his mouth, he spat out more blood.
Liu Sanniang walked back to Granny Zhou and squatted down. She looked into her sinister eyes while extending her hand. Granny Zhou struggled with difficulty, wanting to dodge.
Granny Zhou was an old piece of rotten wood. She was hunched over, as if she would die at any moment. Liu Sanniang easily grabbed Granny Zhou’s hand. These past few days, Liu Sanniang’s power had increased by leaps and bounds. Her face-reading technique was getting better and better, and her predictions were getting more and more accurate.
Granny Zhou’s mental defense resembled a huge snake. It coiled around outside the fortress and raised its head, constantly on guard against the enemy’s invasion.
Liu Sanniang released an overwhelming power. It turned into a sharp blade and cut off the snake’s head, ruthlessly crumbling the fortress.
Granny Zhou’s eyes widened and her body trembled violently.
Her resistance became weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared. Only then did Liu Sanniang understand that Granny Zhou was actually a snake cultivator. Moreover, she was the Saintess of Kongtong Sect.
Cultivators usually only had a lifespan of a few hundred years. After a few hundred years, they would become ashes and dust. As for cultivators with spiritual intelligence, their lifespan would be far longer than normal cultivators. Cultivators were unwilling to die, so they would find a spiritual being with intelligence to become one with it, thereby obtaining a long lifespan.
The purpose of cultivation was to become a god. If one could not live long enough, how could they prolong their cultivation to become a god?
Liu Sanniang could see that Granny Zhou had saved a python that had been injured by a human. She healed the python and chanted scriptures for it, but when the python believed her the most, she ruthlessly killed it and became one with it.
The python’s spiritual sense was filled with powerful resentment. It was unwilling to be occupied, so it had been counterattacking Granny Zhou.
In fact, Granny Zhou was only a 30-year-old woman who wanted to become a god. Therefore, she killed the python. Unexpectedly, she suffered a backlash that made her grow older by a few decades.
The python’s spiritual sense did not dissipate. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. Granny Zhou could not suppress it anymore. She and the python were one. The mystic techniques she had learned in the past were no longer useful. In order to not let the python devour her, she could only use a forbidden technique to seal herself and the python. She did not even dare to stay in the sect. She gave up her identity and came down the mountain to Yong County to live. In order to make a living, she was willing to do anything and gradually gained some reputation.
Liu Sanniang retracted her hand and looked at Granny Zhou. She did not expect Granny Zhou to have such an identity.
Granny Zhou stared at Liu Sanniang coldly. “I, Zhou Yunyi, will remember this.”
Granny Zhou could feel that the seal was beginning to crack. She spat out a mouthful of blood and the seal completely shattered. Granny Zhou’s eyes instantly turned vertical.
A faint fragrance filled the air.
Liu Sanniang met the pair of vertical pupils. They were green and chilling. Clearly, she was no longer Granny Zhou.
“I only needed to cast off a layer of skin before I could transform into a dragon. But she killed me and wanted to become one with me. It’s not that easy.”
A cold and vicious voice came from Granny Zhou’s mouth. Liu Sanniang looked at her and said, “Die.”
Granny Zhou’s spiritual sense had already dissipated, but the python was unwilling to die just like that. It was originally a small snake, and by chance, it had developed spiritual intelligence. After cultivating for almost a hundred years, it was about to turn into a dragon. Humans could only live for a hundred years at most, but it was different. It could live for thousands of years and had enough time to cultivate.
Taking over Granny Zhou’s body, the python was extremely indignant. “I won’t die like this.”
It was because of this strong will to live that it could devour Granny Zhou and force her to abandon her status as the Saintess of Kongtong Sect.
When Granny Zhou killed the python, she was destined to never be able to cultivate again. She could only spend the rest of her life in danger.
Liu Sanniang gently opened her mouth and chanted the scriptures. The snake was in agony but still, it refused to be exorcized. Liu Sanniang frowned. “Zhou Yunyi is already dead. What are you still obsessed with?”
“She’s not dead. I can feel it. She’s alive. A life for a life. If she doesn’t return that life to me, I will not go away.”
It could feel that Zhou Yunyi was not dead. At the thought that she was not dead, the obsession in its heart became stronger and stronger. To the snake, Liu Sanniang’s Buddhist light was hell, but it was still unwilling to be exorcized. Under the torture of pain, the obsession in its heart only increased further.
