Chapter 107

The sound of a dragon’s roar echoed, disturbing the tranquility within a ten-mile radius.

Hearing the dragon’s roar, Song Lianyi couldn’t help but step out of his room, and the servant girls hurriedly followed.

“Master An.”

Song Lianyi ignored them and instead raised his gaze to the sky.

After a while, he spoke, “Is this the sword of Zhongli Yueshui? Dragon-shaped sword, named Zhanqiong. He has come out of seclusion.” At this point, Song Lianyi’s charming face suddenly darkened, “He has come out of seclusion, and Fang Chaozhou still hasn’t been found?”

The servant girls immediately knelt on the ground, “Please forgive us, Master An. We have searched both Shuiying Courtyard and every accessible place in Tianshui Sect, but… we haven’t found Fang Chaozhou.”

Song Lianyi’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. With a half-sigh, he threw the silk fan in his hand to the ground, turned and entered the room, instructing, “Pack up, leave Tianshui Sect first.”

The other three fell into silence upon hearing the Fifth Elder’s words because they all recalled an incident from several hundred years ago.

Their Sect Master, Zhongli Yueshui, had a high cultivation level, unmatched by anyone in the world. However, being the best didn’t mean being without weaknesses. The higher the cultivation, the more terrifying it could become if tainted by evil thoughts.

Several hundred years ago, Zhongli Yueshui had done something, and when they received the news and rushed to the Demon Subduing Prison, it had turned into a hell on earth.

The Demon Subduing Prison held demons and monsters that caused trouble in the mortal realm and refused to reform. The Divine Chains bound these creatures, preventing them from acting recklessly.

On that day, the ground of the Demon Subduing Prison was soaked with blood, and their revered Sect Master, clad in white, had turned into a figure in black. The white robes, stained with too much blood, had dried and turned brown, layer by layer deepening until it became a complete black attire.

The stench of blood in that place was nauseating. They almost vomited, but the reason they didn’t was that they dared not. They saw the gaze their Sect Master cast upon them.

A pair of cold eyes that regarded them as lifeless objects.

Since that day, their Sect Master had a new companion named Tu Bai, a cat. Outsiders believed Tu Bai to be Zhongli Yueshui’s spiritual pet, but only a few knew that Tu Bai was not a spiritual pet but the manifestation of Zhongli Yueshui’s evil thoughts.

Thus, Tu Bai could never leave Huali Mountain, as it, being an embodiment of evil thoughts, was sealed there.

Now, the events from several hundred years ago seemed to be repeating.

“Should we go?” The Fourth Elder hesitated. In reality, even if they went, it probably wouldn’t be of much help. Still, if they allowed their Sect Master to unleash a massacre inside and let the evil thoughts resurface, completely controlling Zhongli Yueshui, it would not only be the end of Tianshui Sect but also bring suffering to the entire world.

Who could stop Zhongli Yueshui?

The Fifth Elder glared at the Fourth Elder, “If you don’t want to go, then don’t. We will go. Even if we die under the Sect Master’s sword, we cannot let our Sect Master fall into madness.”

“I didn’t say I won’t go.” The Fourth Elder hurriedly explained, “I’m just thinking of reinforcing the Tianshui Sect’s barrier, not allowing outsiders to come in.”

“We must do that.” The Second Elder issued a direct command, “Elder Cheng is busy with his disciples. The four of us will temporarily seal Tianshui Sect. Inform the disciples that they must stay in their caves, not allowed to go anywhere. If violated, expel them from the sect.”

“Yes.” The remaining three echoed in unison.

After issuing the orders, the four quickly reinforced the barrier of Tianshui Sect and then hurriedly headed to the Demon Subduing Prison. The disciples guarding the prison ran over when they saw them, their faces pale, mouths open as if wanting to speak, but not a single word came out.

The Second Elder soothingly patted the shoulder of the leading disciple and took the lead to walk inside. Before they even entered the Demon Subduing Prison, they could already hear the sounds inside – screams, screams of extreme fear.

The Second Elder and the others looked at each other, and after a moment, the Second Elder, with determination, led the way inside.

The scene from several hundred years ago replayed itself; they saw Zhongli Yueshui in mid-air.

With the sword in his right hand, Zhongli Yueshui cleaved a demon in front of him into two halves. The massive creature crashed to the ground, its eyes still retaining the fear it had before its swift demise.

Blood splattered all over Zhongli Yueshui, but he seemed indifferent. His hazel eyes turned slightly, fixing on another demon restrained by the Divine Chains. That demon, sensing Zhongli Yueshui’s gaze, snarled, its body rattling the chains, seemingly wanting to pounce on Zhongli Yueshui and bite him to death.

“Sect Master!” The Second Elder immediately shouted, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of the dragon-shaped sword cutting through the Divine Chains. They then witnessed a massacre.

They watched as their Sect Master used the dragon-shaped sword to stab into the demon’s eye, barehandedly extracting its core.

Meanwhile, Fang Chaozhou had a restless sleep, plagued by nightmares. In his dreams, the cherries turned into spirits, growing two legs and chasing him, accusing him of eating too many of their siblings. They declared that today, they would dismember him in revenge for their fruit family.

Later on, he dreamt of being crushed under a giant rock, unable to push it away.

When he finally woke up, he understood why he had such disturbing dreams.

Was the white cat sleeping on his chest not just a figment of his imagination?

Was it really a cat?

Fang Chaozhou trembled as he cautiously touched the cat’s ears with his fingertips. As soon as he touched them, the little ears twitched.

Fang Chaozhou: “!!!”

He stared at the cat in disbelief. After a while, he reached out again, this time not just touching the ears but gently rubbing the soft furry head with his fingertips.

The sensation was warm and tender.

Really a cat!

As this thought crossed Fang Chaozhou’s mind, the white cat on his body stirred. It lazily stretched out its front paws, and its double-pupil eyes slowly opened. Meeting Fang Chaozhou’s astonished gaze, it affectionately rubbed its little head against Fang Chaozhou’s chin, meowing sweetly.

While purring, it crazily rubbed against Fang Chaozhou, not just the chin but also the forehead, ears, and even the nose.

Then, it sneezed loudly.

Tu Bai: “…”
