“Junior Brother, we haven’t met in more than two decades. Miss me yet?”
The old voice was sentimental.
In Qingyun Dao Sect…
After hearing the voice again, Daoist Tai Hua did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he sighed and followed the voice.
“I didn’t expect that you’ve been ambushed in Qingzhou for such a long time. It’s been more than twenty years. Senior Brother, are you still not over it?”
Daoist Tai Hua’s voice was full of helplessness.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the rear cliff and the difference this time was that he was a middle-aged man, but his voice resembled that of an old man.
He stood in front of Daoist Tai Hua impassively.
“Can’t get over it?”
The middle-aged man spoke with a straight face, but he looked at Daoist Tai Hua with an icy cold gaze in his eyes.
“Senior Brother, you’re too persistent.”
Daoist Tai Hua sighed and said.
Da Xu, who was at the side, fell silent at this moment. He didn’t dare to say anything. After all, it wasn’t an appropriate time to speak now.
“Persistent?”
“Junior Brother, you’ve really learned Master’s tricks well, no wonder he likes you so much.”
Daoist Tai Hua’s senior brother spoke with a tone that was full of derision.
“Senior Brother, let it go. So many years have passed, and your plan has already failed. If you still have any hatred within you, will killing me get rid of the resentment that you’re harboring?”
Daoist Tai Hua looked at him and said.
However, the latter shook his head and looked at Daoist Tai Hua with a murderous gaze.
“Tai Hua, I always treated you like my Junior Brother and took so much care of you. More than twenty years ago, I comprehended an Immortal Ascension method but I didn’t tell anyone. You were the only person I told this to.”
“However, not only did you not help me, but you also ruined my plan. Now, you’re taking the moral high ground too. Junior Brother, why have you become so hypocritical!?!”
The latter clenched his fists while glaring at Daoist Tai Hua with his eyes full of fury.
However, as soon as he said that, Daoist Tai Hua had a bitter expression on his face.
“Senior Brother, your Immortal Ascension method requires the sacrifice of countless people and I would rather not become an immortal. Besides, even if you really become immortal, you will bear heavier karma of heaven and earth.”
“When the time comes, you’ll neither be an immortal nor a ghost but a mishmash of both. That would be doing yourself a disservice.”
Daoist Tai Hua was still trying to persuade and explain, in hopes that the other party would understand.
However, the latter simply flicked his robe and hollered furiously.
“Don’t make yourself out to be so kind. If one does not fend for himself, he will die.”
“Everything in the world is predestined. If there are countless living beings in a cup of tea and you gulp it in one go, is that compassion?”
“Mortals capture and kill livestock for consumption, is that what you call compassion?”
“At the end of the day, it’s just about strength. So what if it concerns the people of the world? Sacrificing a portion of them to help me ascend to an immortal is a trivial thing that will no longer matter after hundreds or thousands of years.”
He hollered furiously with his eyes full of anger.
His words were contrary to the heavenly laws.
“Senior Brother, your logic is twisted!”
Daoist Tai Hua took a deep breath and said so.
“Twisted logic?”
“Hah, there’s no point for you to say anything now. I’m going to put an end to the feud between us that has existed for more than two decades.”
“Besides, after I become an immortal, all my logic will be right.”
Daoist Tai Hua’s Senior Brother had become completely obsessed as his eyes were full of stubborn desires and an intent to kill.
“Senior Brother, as I just said, if you want to kill me to vent your anger, I’m standing right here.”
Daoist Tai Hua sighed. He was willing to give up his life in exchange for the other party to let go of the hatred within him.
However, the latter burst into laughter.
“Kill you? Is it going to be as simple as killing you?”
“More than twenty years ago, you and I fought a battle where you seriously wounded me and after that, you used the ancient token of mortalization to seal your cultivation while forcing yourself to mortalize. You sealed your memories and cut off all aura.”
“I’ve been looking for you for the past twenty years, and now that I’ve found you after so much painstaking effort, do you really think it’s going to be as simple as killing you?”
He burst into laughter and revealed the secret of the battle they had back in the day.
After hearing his words, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but look very helpless.
Yes.
More than twenty years ago, someone held records that stated that the great calamity of Qingzhou involved a fight between two Essence Soul realm cultivators that led to the eradication of living beings in Qingzhou.
However, in reality, it was not a fight between two Essence Soul realm cultivators, but two Mahayana realm powerhouses, who were Daoist Tai Hua and his Senior Brother.
Later on, Daoist Tai Hua severely wounded his Senior Brother and tampered with the memories of all the cultivators in Qingzhou using an incredible method. Hence, everyone mistakenly thought that it was a battle for a treasure between two Essence Soul realm cultivators.
In the end, Daoist Tai Hua began to mortalize using an ancient mortalizing talisman.
He forgot everything and all he knew was that he was an ordinary cultivator who had established the Qingyun Dao Sect and sealed his cultivation.
However, just a few days ago, he received the Seven Kings inheritance by chance and used the Eight Trigrams, which shook the ancient mortalizing talisman. As a result, he regained a portion of his memories.
That was the reason that his Senior Brother had detected it.
However, even so, Daoist Tai Hua didn’t want to completely expose it. If the people of the Great Xia Dynasty hadn’t come looking for him today, he wouldn’t have revealed the talisman.
However, after he did so, he also had his own thoughts.
He wanted to make a closure between him and his Senior Brother.
More than twenty years ago, his Senior Brother wanted to sacrifice Su Changyu in order to become an immortal before using the lives of countless people to awaken the Fiendcelestial and obtain the mysteries of becoming an immortal.
However, Daoist Tai Hua ruined the plan, though he knew that the scores had to be settled sooner or later.
Now that Su Changyu had grown up and the plan had been completely destroyed, he would die without regrets.
“Senior Brother, the Immortal Ascension method has already been broken, just kill me if you want to.”
Daoist Tai Hua had nothing to say.
In his eyes, his Senior Brother had already slipped into obsession after becoming unable to become an immortal. All that was left within him was resentment.
However, Daoist Tai Hua’s Senior Brother shook his head and continued to speak gloomily.
“You’re wrong.”
“Tai Hua, you’re very wrong.”
“Back then, you ruined my plan, and I even thought that it was impossible to become an immortal. However, do you know what I discovered after I was severely injured by you?”
“I discovered the relics of the ancient fiend cult that were hidden within Qingzhou, and I learned the way to truly become an immortal. It’s the Great Demonizing Technique.”
“I can’t become an immortal, but it’s the same if I can become a Fiendcelestial. As long as I find the son of heavenly destiny and sacrifice him to set up an array formation with the blood of 100,000,000 people, I can revive the Fiendcelestial and incorporate him into my body to be awakened.”
“At that time, I can still become an immortal, hahahahaha!”
He was laughing hysterically with some mania.
“Senior Brother, if you do that, you might be seized by the devil. You’ve already been bewitched, this is clearly fake.”
Daoist Tai Hua persuaded.
“Seized? So what? At least I can become an immortal. At least, I can have the chance to become an immortal. I won’t let him succeed.”
“I’ve reached the end, if I don’t put up a fight, I’ll die.”
“Tai Hua, I’m giving you one last chance. Help me take him over and we will still be Senior Brother and Junior Brother. I will help you through Immortal Ascension too!”
“You’re the only relative I have left in this world. Tai Hua, I can put everything behind us. What do you think?”
He looked at Daoist Tai Hua with an expectant gaze.
