Chapter 105: When Gods Clash, Mortals Suffer

Page 1/3

Just as Su Jian thought of Yu Ming, a movement from the Keyboard Immortal reached his mind.

[The Keyboard Immortal brought Yu Ming to the Bai family. Yu Ming immediately inquired about the exact location of the opportunity. The Keyboard Immortal stealthily approached Yu Ming and, catching him completely off guard, activated a paralysis talisman. Yu Ming was controlled, and the storage ring on his body was taken by the Keyboard Immortal.]

Damn it, that damn Keyboard Immortal sure knows how to profit unexpectedly.

This time, it was due to his negligence.

But it’s a pity the other party is a player; otherwise, that storage ring would have truly fallen into their hands.

[Pleasure Su Jian: you have obtained Yu Ming’s wealth; you should take this chance to curry favor with Su Jian. He will help you eliminate Yu Ming’s threat; otherwise, you will die without a burial place.]

[Mission reward: ten Celestial Spirit Pills.]

[Mission penalty: instant death.]

With this, there’s no problem.

Keyboard Immortal’s success this time is truly a surprising blessing.

As the saying goes, villains lack wisdom.

And he suffered a loss due to arrogance.

This time, he fell to the hands of an insignificant Keyboard Immortal.

Yu Ming’s matter is not urgent. For now, it’s better to deal with Shen Qing’er first; this woman is far more troublesome than Yu Ming.

Su Jian took out the Puppet Pill, pried open Shen Qing’er’s mouth, and directly fed her the seed pill.

He took the mother pill himself to refine. The pill melted instantly on the tongue, and he could feel his spiritual power filling up considerably.

This Puppet Pill cannot be used on those who have perfected their primordial spirit, but Shen Qing’er is only at the Transformation Spirit stage, and her primordial spirit is still weak. Whether it will work remains to be seen.

No rush to remove the paralysis talisman.

Shen Qing’er’s eyes were vacant. Her primordial spirit acutely sensed the invading power of the pill eroding her primordial spirit.

She immediately realized Su Jian’s true sinister intent.

He intended to replace her identity!

This unexpected turn caught her completely off guard.

The person before her was definitely connected to the destruction of the Bai family.

Perhaps even harboring the same purpose as the Flower Young Master.

Her current disaster was entirely because she was caught in this conflict.

There was no regret for the past, only hatred for her own lack of caution.

But she was unwilling to surrender so easily.

Yet, the power of the pill inside her was too fierce.

She already felt her primordial spirit about to collapse.

However, at this critical moment, Shen Qing’er decisively used the Spirit Refining Technique, causing her primordial spirit to contract rapidly.

In an instant, Shen Qing’er’s primordial spirit transformed into a halo of light, hiding deep within her sea of consciousness.

Perhaps… the outcome might not be so bad this time, maybe even a blessing in disguise.

With Shen Qing’er’s primordial spirit no longer resisting, the primordial spirit nurtured by the Puppet Pill quickly occupied her sea of consciousness.

At the same time, Su Jian couldn’t help but feel a sense of closeness.

He had no intention of letting her consume more Puppet Pills.

This pill is unlike others; taking too many might backfire.

The Puppet Pill generates a new primordial spirit—there can be no duplicates.

Then,

After properly settling Shen Qing’er, Su Jian quietly made his way to the Bai family.

Due to the earlier battle’s intensity, it inevitably attracted the attention of the villagers of Lingxiu Village, who gathered to see what had happened.

However, the duel between Su Jian and Shen Qing’er happened in an instant.

By the time they came out, the direction of Shen Qing’er’s home had already returned to calm.

But no one dared approach; it quickly became the topic of gossip among the villagers.

At this time, the identities of Shen Qing’er and the Yu Ming cultivator had not yet spread through the village.

Su Jian thought for a moment and decided to quickly quell the disturbance caused by this incident. Otherwise, if some bold villagers went to investigate, it would surely complicate matters.

He had yet to deal with the shattered courtyard gate of Shen Qing’er’s home and the aftermath of the Heavenly Star Thunder explosion.

Su Jian approached the group of villagers gathered at the village entrance, sighing heavily.

“It’s truly like immortals fighting while mortals suffer.”

Only then did the villagers realize that the source of the disturbance was near Su Jian’s home.

“Little Anzi, could it be that some plague-stricken cultivators fought and destroyed your home?”

“Don’t worry, even if you’re homeless, Auntie still has a spare room.”

Su Jian twitched at the nickname “Little Anzi.” What kind of lousy nickname was that?

Forget it, such trivial details aren’t worth arguing over.

He sighed lightly. “I don’t know what the village chief was thinking, suddenly sheltering two cultivators who now live next door to me. These two are not easy people. The noise just now was caused by their duel.”

“Fellow villagers, be sure to keep your distance from them in the future to avoid unwanted trouble. Our mortal lives in their eyes are…”

Su Jian stopped, leaving them to imagine the rest.

“The village chief acted too rashly…”

“Isn’t this just raising a tiger to bring trouble…?”

Hearing the villagers’ complaints about Li Lingguang, Su Jian left, satisfied.

A moment later,

Su Jian arrived at the Bai family and saw the Keyboard Immortal along with the immobilized Yu Ming.

“My good big brother, you’ve finally arrived,” Keyboard Immortal said, somewhat anxious.

The previous mission did not specify how to dispose of Yu Ming after controlling him.

Taking him around the village like a show was obviously inappropriate.

But he was uneasy about leaving Yu Ming alone here. If anything went wrong, wouldn’t he die on the spot?

If he died as a penalty, resurrection would probably be impossible.

Otherwise, the mission’s punishment would be meaningless.

Just when he was at a loss, Su Jian arrived in time.

He finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, Keyboard Immortal quickly handed over Yu Ming’s storage ring.

During the gap before Su Jian arrived, he couldn’t resist secretly checking the contents of the storage ring.

If he couldn’t have it, at least he could feast his eyes.

What he found inside moved him to tears of envy.

Su Jian smiled faintly. “You may leave.”

Keyboard Immortal: “...”

Heartless.

But he dared not go against Su Jian’s wishes. The other was unpredictable.

If he said no, he might be slapped to death.

Su Jian took out a Puppet Pill and directly forced Yu Ming to swallow the seed pill.

It wasn’t yet time for this brat to die. If the so-called Flower Young Master wanted to see Yu Ming once or twice, it could be faked. But over time, the deception would be discovered.

Moreover, keeping Yu Ming around meant having an extra fighter.

Though the Puppet Pill’s refined puppet wouldn’t be very intelligent, this was precisely its greatest advantage.

If the controlled one were too clever, they might become complacent.

Far less effective than a fearless player.

Su Jian grabbed Yu Ming and threw him into the Bai family’s secret chamber.

After three days, Yu Ming would naturally regain freedom.

By then, the Puppet Pill should have been mostly assimilated by Yu Ming.
