Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Li Changan is my inner demon

Li Changan’s murder of Cao Shaolin   shouldn’t have been known to a third party.

However   , according to the hexagram, Cao Shaolong came to Yellow Crane Immortal City specifically to kill Li Changan.   ”Why is this happening?”   Li Changan was puzzled.   Suddenly,   he remembered that   before his death, Cao Shaolin had said that they were brothers with a common heart, and his brother could sense his death.   At the time, Li Changan believed that Cao Shaolong could only sense the time and place of his brother’s death.   Now it seemed that   his thinking was wrong.   ”What exactly is this so-called ‘brothers with a common heart’?”   Li Changan pondered for a long time. He had never heard of such a thing.   However,   in the world of immortal cultivation,   there are too many unexplainable facts.   Anything unimaginable could happen.   ”Forget it, if the enemy comes, the general will fight; if the water comes, the earth will block it!”   Li Changan took a deep breath and calmed himself.   Anyway, the hexagram showed that   Cao Shaolong was blocked by Su Yuyan.   ”Cao Shaolong has just successfully established his foundation, but he’s only at the early stages. Yuyan’s master is a veteran, in the late stages, with extensive experience and connections, and should be a deterrent to Cao Shaolong.”   Of course, Su Yuyan couldn’t protect him forever.   Li Changan wasn’t worried.   The second-level Black Water Turtle in his hand was his biggest trump card!   …   The next morning,   Su Yuyan and Jiang Yuerong came to visit again.   Li Changan brewed a pot of fine tea and continued their conversation.   During this time,   he inquired curiously about the sect’s treasury.   Su Yuyan saw what he was thinking.   If it were anyone else, she would definitely refuse, but Li Changan was different.   She wanted to help him.   ”Brother Li, as long as you have enough merit, you can exchange it for treasures in the sect’s treasury. Just don’t go too far.”   ”Senior Sister, you’re right. This kind of thing has happened before, but the sect turned a blind eye. As long as it didn’t get out of hand, nothing would be done.”   Jiang Yuerong nodded and agreed.   According to them,   Li Changan wasn’t the first to have thought of this.   In the past, there were disciples who would exchange items from the sect’s treasury for friends or relatives outside the sect.   Sect leaders generally didn’t delve   into such matters .   After all, most of them had done it before.   But there was a prerequisite—don’t go too far!   ”Two years ago, a disciple went too far.”   ”He traded a large number of low-level treasures for merit, and then exchanged them for several rare high-level treasures from the sect’s treasury.”   ”The Great Elder couldn’t stand it and expelled him from the sect!”   After listening to their stories, Li Changan understood.   If he had exchanged common second-level treasures for rarer second-level treasures, and only a few of them, it wouldn’t be considered excessive.   In short,   Qingyun Sect does respect personal relationships, but they can’t let the sect suffer too much!   The disciple who was expelled had indeed gone too far, simply undermining the sect’s foundation.   As they spoke,   a powerful aura of foundation-building energy suddenly approached Li Changan’s residence.   ”Huh? A senior is visiting?”   Su Yuyan’s face showed a look of surprise.   With Li Changan’s cultivation level, how could he be related to a Foundation Establishment cultivator?   But soon,   she felt something was wrong.   Along with the Foundation Establishment aura, there was also a strong murderous intent!   ”Bang!”

The courtyard gate suddenly burst open with a tremendous force!

A tall, impassive man stood in the doorway. His face bore a striking resemblance to Cao Shaolin!

It was none other than the young dragon of the Cao family.

Cao Shaolong!

“Li Changan, you’re here!”

He stared at Li Changan intently, unfailingly concealing his murderous intent.

If it weren’t for the two other Qingyun Sect disciples in the courtyard, he might have already attacked!

“Are you Elder Cao?”

Su Yuyan recognized the man.

She naturally knew Cao Shaolong, having recently heard of his successful foundation building.

Cao Shaolong replied coldly, “Yes, I know you. You’re Elder Chen’s disciple.”

“Elder Cao, what do you want with Brother Li?”

Su Yuyan’s expression was solemn, and she stood up to block Li Changan.

The murderous intent of a foundation building…

was simply too much for Li Changan, a mere sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator, to withstand!

“Li Changan is your elder brother?”

Cao Shaolong frowned, his eyes shifting slightly.

Su Yuyan nodded and said, “Indeed, Brother Li has saved my life many times. Without him, I wouldn’t be alive today!”

Hearing this, Cao Shaolong’s frown deepened, for he didn’t want to offend Elder Chen, Su Yuyan’s backer.

But he was determined to kill Li Changan!

His murderous intent didn’t diminish in the slightest, but instead intensified.

“Let me kill him, and I’ll explain this to your master!”

“Elder Cao, if you want to kill my brother, consult the sword in my hand first!”

Su Yuyan’s pretty face suddenly turned cold.

Then there was a clang.

The longsword was unsheathed, its razor-sharp edge revealed!

Holding the precious sword, she showed no fear in the face of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Cao Shaolong.

Jiang Yuerong, standing nearby, also stepped forward. “Elder Cao, is there some misunderstanding here?”   she said softly, trying to persuade. “

Fellow Daoist   Li is just an ordinary casual cultivator. Why does he evoke such strong murderous intent in you?”   This was the question Su Yuyan wanted to know.   Li Chang’an and Cao Shaolong, one a lowly casual cultivator, the other a sect prodigy. They’d hardly ever have any contact, so why would they clash?   Cao Shaolong’s murderous intent was so intense, it was clear he was determined to fight to the death!   He pointed a finger at Li Chang’an and said coldly, “This man is my inner demon. If I can’t kill him, I’ll never advance in my cultivation!”   ”What? Inner demon?”   Su Yuyan and Jiang Yuerong were both taken aback.   Those two words   weren’t just a casual remark.   According to sect records, once an inner demon arises, the path can be hindered at best, or even lead to madness at worst.   But how could Li Chang’an become the inner demon of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?   Su Yuyan glanced back at Li Chang’an, her eyes filled with confusion.   ”I don’t know about this either.”   Li Chang’an shook his head, wanting to know the reason, too.   Su Yuyan turned back and asked Cao Shaolong.   ”Elder Cao, can you explain this matter?”   ”You don’t need to know!”   Cao Shaolong’s face was ashen, his voice cold.   No one knew.   He and his younger brother Cao Shaolin had a very special connection.   Back then, when Cao Shaolin’s throat was cut by Li Changan,   he also felt the pain of dying.   Since then,   he has had frequent dreams.   At first, he only dreamed of the scene of Cao Shaolin being killed by Li Changan.   Gradually,   the Cao Shaolin in that scene turned into himself!   In the dream, he was also covered in blood, dying, and begging for mercy from Li Changan, but his neck was still torn by Li Changan’s sword energy.   Over and over again!   He has been killed by Li Changan in his dreams more than ten times!   This horrible nightmare has an increasingly greater impact on him.   The scene of the tragic death keeps appearing in his mind, making him often uneasy.   (End of this chapter)
