Chapter 234: Chapter 126: The Gentleman Does Not Overstep Bounds

Chen Shi was solemn. Madam Huali was definitely a martial arts expert, gentle and personable, calm under pressure, but the mere mention of Creation Little Five made her panic, which showed just how terrifying Creation Little Five was!

"Madam Hua, there’s no need to panic."

Chen Shi tried to comfort her, "Creation Little Five is still being suppressed within Qianyang Mountain, unable to escape..."

Madam Huali interrupted him, shaking her head, "Chen Yindou has passed away, and the seal he left behind will absolutely not be able to contain it. Little Ten, you have no idea how horrifying it is. Although it was a God Creation of your grandfather, from the moment of its birth, it had transcended the category of earthly beings and escaped life and death. Even if you kill it, it will resurrect!"

She began to speak of the past.

"Twenty years ago, a meeting of Independent Cultivators was held in Golden Mountain County on the west coast of West Bull New Continent. After the meeting, most Independent Cultivators left, but many still stayed in Golden Mountain to discuss Taoist Skills and exchange knowledge."

Fear was evident on her face.

At that time, she had planned to stay in Golden Mountain for a few more days, but since Chen Yin had left, she went to catch up with him and thus avoided a disaster.

"Those who stayed in Golden Mountain, almost all of them died."

Madam Huali steadied herself and said, "Also perished were the Heaven Listeners sent to investigate the meeting of Independent Cultivators. When I heard something had happened in Golden Mountain, I immediately rushed over, thinking it was the Heaven Listeners who had struck against us Independent Cultivators. Heaven Listeners and Independent Cultivators are natural enemies, often fighting, with death being a common occurrence. When I got to Golden Mountain, from a distance, I saw many people floating above Golden Mountain."

Her fear deepened.

Twenty years ago, she was still a young lady, not yet twenty, in the prime of her youth, joining the Independent Cultivators out of admiration for Grandfather Chen Shi, and was still quite unfamiliar with the organization, knowing few people.

Her achievements were not very high, and her experience was not as vast as now.

Most Independent Cultivators had cultivation achievements far above her, her elders. However, the organization of the Independent Cultivators was very loose; as long as you had exceptional talent and a heart seeking the Way, you could become an Independent.

She had met many people at the meeting of Independent Cultivators, had great conversations, and made the acquaintance of many elders, whose achievements she looked up to, believing she could never reach such heights in her lifetime.

When she returned to Golden Mountain, from a distance, she saw the corpses of several elders she had admired.

They lay on their backs, limbs hanging naturally, as if they were flying.

But what frightened her was a scene she had seen on a certain bird.

The shrike.

Shrikes always like to peck their prey to death and hang them on branches or spikes to store food.

Creation Little Five hung those elders she knew in the sky, like shrikes storing their food.

But these few Independent elders were just a small part of the food. Also hung in the sky were several kings among the Heaven Listeners. Among them were great masters of the Void Refinement Realm and the Unification Realm.

As for the masters who had achieved Divinity Transformation and the Divine Descent Realm, there were as many as a hundred!

"They were all killed by Creation Little Five, like its food, hung in the air to air dry and preserved for a longer time. This habit, it had from the beginning. When Chen Yin first created Little Five, it is said that it killed hundreds of people and stored them in an underground nest. Usually, it looks harmless to humans and animals..."

Madam Huali glanced at Black Pot and added, "Just like this dog, you can’t tell at all that it regards people as food."

Black Pot was also engrossed, shuddered at the words, and wanted to show loyalty, but feared scaring them and instead being mistaken for an Evil Spirit and slaughtered.

"When Creation Little Five lost control the second time, it got clever and made a nest at the bottom of a lake, killing thousands. But twenty years ago, it no longer took ordinary people as its food; it took cultivators with profound cultivation as its sustenance."

Madam Huali exhaled turbidly and murmured, "Little Ten, your grandfather ultimately created an Evil God that escaped his control and that even he couldn’t handle. Now he’s dead, but Creation Little Five is still alive. If Little Five breaks free, it will surely seek revenge on your grandfather! If it can’t find him, it will vent its anger on you!"

She proposed, "How about this, I’ll take you to the meeting of the Independent Cultivators. Although it’s also dangerous, and surely many will be hostile towards your resurrection, it’s still much safer than Qianyang Mountain!"

Chen Shi’s heart jolted, "The meeting of Independent Cultivators is also dangerous?"

Madam Huali sized him up, as if looking at an exquisitely fine piece of art, smiled and said, "Your grandfather saved you with the Water and Fire Refining Technique. That you could come back to life after dying for eight years makes you a treasure in the eyes of many Independent Cultivators. They don’t dare to seek out your grandfather, but to capture you and research the mystery of death and resurrection, they would dare. Those Independent Cultivators are far crazier than the old masters in the Western Capital."

When she came to this point, looking at Chen Shi, her gaze seemed to hide a hint of madness.

Although she joined the Independent Cultivators on account of her admiration for Chen Yin, that affectionate admiration was but a seasoning on her path to seeking the Way.

Her fanaticism for the Taoist Skill was the driving force behind her diligent practice over the years.

A person who resurrected after eight years of death was equally attractive to her!

Chen Shi felt a chill in his heart, politely declined Madam Huali’s offer, and smiled, "Granny Sha, Uncle Hu, and green sheep are also in Qianyang Mountain, I’d be safer staying in Qianyang Mountain. If I went to the meeting of Independent Cultivators, I would only know you, Madam, which would only add much danger."

Upon hearing this, Madam Huali sighed, "That’s a real shame."

Chen Shi blinked, wondering, "Why did she say it’s a shame?"

He dared not think deeper.

Because the looks Granny Sha and Xiao Wangsun gave him were like Madam Huali’s; after Chen Shi had each given them a copy of the Water and Fire Refining Technique, they no longer looked at him with those strange eyes.
