Chapter 763 - Put On The Golden Fillet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Ruocang was having mixed feelings. He understood Cang Gongzi’s meaning. The other party was just trying to atone for his father’s crime but once he heard the mention of a saint, the fear that emerged in his heart was inevitable. After all, a saint was far different from an ordinary immortal.

He had practically never heard the informative Dragon Carp mention anything about Upper Realm saints, so this was clearly not a topic that could be brought up as one pleased.

He only vaguely knew about the Three Taoist Saints and the Ten Great Demon Saints. As for whether they were beings at the same level as a saint, he still ought to find out.

It was impossible for him to just let go of all the hatred. The Bai family had suffered too much of a tragedy. If it was not for his mystical encounter that took a favorable turn, he would not have survived until this day.

However, Cang Gongzi’s determination moved him. No matter what, he was still deeply indebted to the other party.

Although vengeance was in his heart, he was not that extreme. He could not allow himself to be swayed by personal feelings.

If the other party was really able to bring back the Bai family, he was unsure of what he should do. Should he let go of the past or insist on vengeance?

At this moment, he heard the Venerable Dragon speak. “The Upper Realm had sent people down to wreak havoc upon us by withering our Vitality. That’s their signature move. The Heavenly Axiom has requested that the passage to Upper Realm be closed. I’ll have to release that fellow temporarily to allow him to redeem himself by good service. Ruocang, what do you think?”

“…” Bai Ruocang’s mind was a mess. The reality was just like this – intertwined contradictions that were difficult to distinguish. Now that the overall situation was right before him, was he really going to be a stickler for personal old scores?

“Everything should go according to the Venerable one’s wishes, Cang will not have a say in this,” he responded after a moment of consideration.

“Isn’t that better! Don’t be so persistent, alright? Every problem will always have its solution.” With that, Fang Ning shook his head as he turned around to leave.

Dragon Carp took a quick glance. This was no good. It had been several months since it last saw its master and the master did not even mention anything about it. This was one of the signs of it being forgotten!

It immediately leaped out of the water and shouted, “Master, I can also come up with ideas to close the passage…”

“Oh, is that so?” Fang Ning slowed down his steps.

“Of course! I did come from the Upper Realm, didn’t I?” Dragon Carp boasted shamelessly.

“Hmm, are you willing to close the Upper Realm passage then?” Fang Ning asked.

“Of course, I’ll be happy to! Your wish is my command, Master,” with a shake of its tail, Dragon Carp responded in a serious tone.

“This fellow’s quite a character,” Sir System said amusedly with a click of his tongue.

“It must be copying the other side again…” Fang Ning muttered, “I can see it. It’s the same as Elder Ancestor Bai. They don’t like having too many humans from the Upper Realm in case anyone wants to compete with them for resources.”

“Oh, so that’s the case. No wonder it’s taking so much initiative. I remember it once said that when it was in the Upper Realm, the huge amount of treasure that it accumulated bit by bit was all taken by the True Dragons and divided between themselves. Clearly, it’s not hoping that those guys will come down,” Sir System said as he finally came to a realization.

“That’s right. Even though this fellow’s lazy, it won’t cheat us. Well, as long as it’s around, it’ll save Elder Ancestor Bai.” Fang Ning made a decision.

Naturally, Sir System had no objections.

“If that’s the case, you should come with me. Remember, this is something that’s related to the safety of the world, you can’t afford to be lazy or careless,” Vigilante A said softly.

“Oh, Master taught me to keep my eyes opened 24 hours and no slacking off,” Dragon Crap assured as bubbles form around its mouth.

Hmmph, you were never able to close your eyes anyway.

Fang Ning was speechless as he heard this. It was difficult to know whether this fellow was asleep or awake. If it was not for the fact that it had the same sleeping habits as human, there was really no way to notice the difference…

However, he was too lazy to even fuss about it with this fish. After all, it was just a fish who idles away its time.

“Alright, let’s go then.” With a wave, the fish tank disappeared and Fang Ning had entered the Draconic Arcane Realm. Then, he turned and walked away.

Tears started streaming down Bai Ruocang’s face as he stared at the Venerable Dragon God that was gradually becoming smaller.

Under all circumstances, this hero had shown extreme patience and magnanimity to himself. There was no bone to pick and he could only do his best to repay to be worthy of his conscience.

At this thought, he wiped away the tears on his face and returned to his desk, then started writing away, busying himself in his work.

A moment later, Fang Ning re-entered the Demon Suppression Monument that was located at the southern part of Morality City.

He merely stretched out a finger, and the fish tank with Dragon Carp in it appeared in midair.

After doing all this, he said, “You rat demons are always doing all sorts of evil, even death is insufficient punishment for all that you’ve done, but today I’ll be giving all of you the chance to redeem yourselves. You should take advantage of this opportunity.”

“Hmmph, stop being such a hypocrite. I’ve heard every word that kid said. You think you’re doing justice by keeping me suppressed here, but you don’t know how big of a mistake you’re making! When I was outside, none of the powerhouses from the Upper Realm could enter Earth intact. Those who entered would either turn into dust or lose all powers…” Elder Ancestor Bai scoffed as his figure appeared.

“Huh…” Fang Ning’s heart sank a little. Was it possible for this old rat to have foreseen this scene?

This old fellow was like the poisonous snake in a food chain. On one hand, he was extremely terrifying for he had poisoned many people; however, on the other hand, he also successfully stopped the overflow of rats.

“Don’t put feathers in your cap. You only did that out of instinct to get rid of your competitors… I’m not going to talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, will you agree to do it or not?” Fang Ning was not even going to bother to argue. After all, everything had already happened, so the only thing to do now was to figure out how to deal with it and not just drown in remorse.

“Hmmph, so what if I agree? So what if I don’t? You don’t possibly think that I would promise you so easily, do you? With no sufficient terms, I’m not going to bother wasting my energy on this,” Elder Ancestor Bai responded calmly.

“Put this on, and you shall be free,” Fang Ning said coldly as he took out a golden fillet that was built by Sir System some time ago, and threw it down the Demon Suppression Monument.

“Ah…” This time around, Elder Ancestor Bai was the one who stared openmouthed. “Damn it, how dare you humiliate me!” He shrieked exasperatedly.

“Humiliate you? No, this is just a little tool to prevent you from doing evil again. As long as you do any sort of evil, it’ll show you a little something,” Fang Ning scoffed.

“Damn it, you’re clearly toying me like a pet monkey!” Elder Ancestor Bai shouted angrily.

However, being under the roof, he had no other choice than to bow his head. He understood that even if Vigilante A did not close the Upper Realm passage, there would still be a huge living space. With the other party’s intelligence and outstanding background, anyone of status in the Upper Realm would be willing to accommodate him.

As for himself, things were different. The situation outside had changed dramatically, so if he did not escape, perhaps he might never have the power to turn over ever again.

“Hmmph, even Sun Wokong had to cross five rows of mountains and wear a golden fillet. He only gained freedom after obtaining the sacred texts and when he finally understood the great principle. You’re so vicious you don’t even have a bottom line. Since I’m willing to let you out, naturally, I can’t let you do harm again,” Fang Ning said sternly.

Elder Ancestor Bai hesitated for a moment before picking up the golden fillet and placing it on his head.

System Notification: (Elder Greater Rat has put on the binding equipment ‘the Punishing Golden Fillet’.)

At the sight of it, Fang Ning was finally relieved. With the system’s notification, there was no way he was playing games.

“Well then, I’ll let you out, but you have to understand that you must not play tricks,” Fang Ning reminded.

Dragon Carp quickly reminded, “Eh, you should know that I’m a disciple of the Upper Realm’s True Dragon Clan. I’m extremely knowledgeable so if you dare play any sort of tricks, I’ll see through it easily. If you must know, I’m also from the Upper Realm.”

“Hmmph, rest assured, I won’t deliberately hurt myself and I don’t need you to remind me of that. Alright, I’m off to check on those passages,” Elder Ancestor Bai sneered.

“That’s best,” Fang Ning said before retracting back to System Space, turning over his body to Sir System.

“Alright, Sir System, let this guy out.”

System Notification: (The System has seized the Host’s body.)

Soon after, Vigilante A reached out his arm and touched the Demon Suppression Monument. With a huge shake, a white ray of light escaped swiftly from beneath and landed on the ground.

A short, withered old figure appeared in front of him, the golden fillet covered over by the mass of white hair on his head that just seemed a little strange.
