Chapter 196 Leaving
Chapter 196 Leaving
'Su Daji', Hu Ximei and Wang Zijin were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears. They clasped their hands tightly, with a determined light flashing in their eyes.
They knew that with Taoist Luoshu around, they would definitely be rescued.
And when Jiang Ziya saw Luoshu appear, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that under the hands of his senior brother Huanglong Zhenren, the Luoshu could still appear intact in front of everyone.
This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him.
Jiang Ziya waited for a while, but his senior brother Huanglong Zhenren did not return.
A wave of waves surged in his heart, as if something had created huge waves deep in his heart.
Jiang Ziya looked at Luo Shu, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness.
"Luo Shu...you...what did you do to my senior brother? Why can't I see any trace of my senior brother?"
There was a hint of trembling in Jiang Ziya's voice, he hoped to get an answer from Luo Shu.
Hearing this, Luo Shu smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning and calmness in his eyes:
"Are you talking about Master Huanglong? What can I do to him? The most I can do is send him back to the embrace of the primitive land."
Jiang Ziya frowned and stared at Luo Shu, with indescribable doubt and uneasiness in his heart.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner fluctuations, and then asked in a deep voice:
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'send him back to the embrace of the wild land'?"
Seeing this, Luo Shu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was mocking Jiang Ziya's ignorance.
He spoke slowly, with a hint of joking in his voice:
"Jiang Ziya, although your cultivation is still shallow, you are still a cultivator after all. Don't you even understand this sentence?"
After a pause, Luo Shu continued:
"Honghuang is the source of all things. What I said about 'sending him back to the embrace of Honghuang' is just a metaphor, meaning to let him return to his most primitive and authentic state."
Jiang Ziya was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Shu to give such an explanation.
He pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"You mean... you killed my senior brother Huang Long Zhenren?"
Luo Shu heard this, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He deliberately slowed down his speech and spoke with a bit of provocation and confidence:
"You just heard it. I thought I had made my words quite clear."
"Before the competition, Huang Long and I had already signed a life-and-death agreement. We left our lives to fate. So, he didn't beat me and was defeated by me."
When Jiang Ziya heard this, his heart was shocked. He widened his eyes and looked at Luo Shu in disbelief.
He didn't expect Luo Shu to admit so directly that he had killed Huanglong Zhenren, and he didn't expect him to describe it all in such a cold tone.
Jiang Ziya took a deep breath and tried to calm his shock and anger. He frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"Why did you do such a cruel thing? You and my brother have no deep hatred, why do you have to kill him?"
Luo Shu smiled slightly, and the contempt and disdain in his eyes almost overflowed.
He glanced at Jiang Ziya and said calmly:
"Jiang Ziya, your words really hurt my ears. In the ancient times, the strong are respected and the weak are the enemy. This is an eternal truth."
"If Master Huanglong really had the ability to defeat me, then why would I be standing here talking to you right now?"
Jiang Ziya's face suddenly darkened. He clenched his fists, veins bulged, and his eyes flashed with anger, as if he wanted to burn Luo Shu to ashes.
His voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable majesty:
"Luo Shu, do you know where Senior Brother Huang Long Zhenren learned his skills? He is a disciple of Yuqing Saint. How dare you do such a cruel thing?"
Under Jiang Ziya's angry gaze, Luo Shu seemed to be unaffected.
He shrugged lightly, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth, as if Jiang Ziya's words were just a breeze to him:
"So what if you know or not? It doesn't affect me much. It's not the first time."
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with provocation:
"Jiang Ziya, why are you so excited? If the person standing in front of you now is your senior brother, what kind of expression would you have? Don't stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at me."
Jiang Ziya's face turned red with anger at Luo Shu's words. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner anger.
He stared at Luo Shu, his voice trembling a little:
"You...you are simply unreasonable!"
After saying that, he took a sudden step forward, clenching his hands into fists, as if he was going to knock Luo Shu down with one punch.
However, Luo Shu just glanced at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a clown.
"What? Jiang Ziya, do you still want to avenge him? If so, then come on. However, I want to remind you that your cultivation is too low and you are far from qualified."
Luo Shu's voice was full of provocation and confidence.
Jiang Ziya was shocked when he heard this. He knew that his cultivation was far inferior to Luo Shu's, and if he acted rashly, he would only bring shame upon himself.
However, the anger and grief in his heart made him unable to calm down.
Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Shu, as if he wanted to carve him into his bones.
Seeing that Jiang Ziya was so angry, Luo Shu didn't care at all. Instead, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He turned around and looked at Su Daji, Hu Ximei and Wang Zijin beside him, and his voice softened a bit:
"Let's go! I'll take you to a secluded place to heal your wounds first."
Su Daji, Hu Ximei and Wang Zijin nodded gently, and the three demons' eyes revealed their trust in Luo Shu.
Seeing that the three demons had no objection, Luo Shu turned around and prepared to leave.
However, just as he turned around, Jiang Ziya suddenly spoke, his voice full of determination:
"Luo Shu, I have personally witnessed what you did today."
He paused and continued:
"You killed my senior brother Huang Long Zhenren. I will report this evil act to my master. Just wait for my master Yuanshi Tianzun to settle the score with you!"
Luo Shu stopped and looked back at Jiang Ziya, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes:
"Jiang Ziya, who do you think you are? Do you think you can scare me by bringing up your master?"
Jiang Ziya did not flinch. He straightened his chest and looked directly at Luo Shu:
"Luo Shu, I don't mean to scare you. You killed my brother. This is an evil act that cannot be tolerated by heaven."
"You follow me now and go to Kunlun Mountain to apologize. Perhaps Master will consider your cultivation difficult and give you a lighter sentence."
When Luo Shu heard Jiang Ziya's words, his brows furrowed and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
He stared at Jiang Ziya sharply, and said in a cold voice:
"Jiang Ziya, why should I explain my actions to others? Not to mention asking for forgiveness from your master Yuanshi Tianzun?"
Jiang Ziya took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and continued:
"Luo Shu, although your cultivation is profound, you must know that there are always people better than you."
"My master, Yuanshi Tianzun, is one of the great saints of the ancient world. His wisdom and cultivation are far beyond your reach. If you are willing to admit your mistakes, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Luo Shu sneered, with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth:
"Life? Wu Luoshu never needs life given by others."
"Stop talking nonsense there. If you want to fight, just come at me. I want to see what you, Jiang Ziya, can do to me."
Seeing Luo Shu being so stubborn, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:
"Luo Shu, it is really a pity that you are so stubborn. Do you know that once Master finds out about this, you will face a catastrophe?"
Luo Shu didn't care and said calmly:
"Destruction? Wu Luoshu has never been afraid of it. If you want to report the news, just go ahead. Wu Luoshu is always waiting to see what you can do to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shu waved his sleeves, took Su Daji, Hu Ximei and Wang Zijin with him, turned into a stream of light, and left Xibohou Mansion.
Jiang Ziya stood where he was, looking at the place where Luo Shu and the others disappeared. His face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that the anger and worry in his heart had not yet subsided.
At this time, Ji Chang and others behind him saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, so they slowly walked forward.
Ji Chang looked at Jiang Ziya, who had a gloomy face, nodded slightly, and said slowly:
"Prime Minister, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He turned around, looked at Ji Chang and others, and said in a deep voice:
"My Lord, this matter is of great importance. Luo Shu killed my senior brother. This is such an evil act that I must personally return to Kunlun Mountain and report this matter to Master, who will handle it."
Ji Chang pondered for a moment and continued, "Prime Minister, I wonder when you will be able to return after this trip?"
Jiang Ziya nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord. I will come back as soon as possible after I go to Kunlun Mountain."
After saying this, Jiang Ziya circulated the spiritual power in his body and fled towards Kunlun Mountain.
Ji Chang and others looked at Jiang Ziya's disappearing back and fell into a brief silence.
