Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 203 - 127: Saving the Sister, Acting According to Circumstances

"Ah, it's not because I see you, brother, as a good and honest person who wouldn't stab someone in the back, right?

Also, you have the Body Refining Cultivation; you can resist various array methods, traps, and such..."

Oh... so that's what the old man is thinking,

Chen Yi realized, and then flatly refused:

"Chen Yi cultivates the Turtle Breathing Technique, and I prefer to slowly cultivate in one place and live a steady life. As for adventures, I refrain from joining."

Chen Yi was speaking his mind. With the Turtle Breathing Technique and Vajra Sutra he had, as well as his ability to refine pills,

he genuinely only needs to cultivate peacefully while time is on his side,

Let others chase opportunities fraught with danger; Chen Yi is not interested.

"You're so young. Why do you live like a tortoise?" After Chen Yi declined to go, Old Zeng muttered inwardly.

"Brother Chen, don't mention this to anyone!"

From afar, Chen Yi indicated with a clear hand gesture that he understood. Then he went back to refining pills.

.....

The next time Chen Yi saw Old Zeng was over a month later,

The previously buoyant, triumphant Old Zeng, now had two shiny superior-quality magical instruments on him,

"Brother Chen, I have to tell you, you missed a great opportunity by not going this time!

Hey hey, guess what I gained from the ruins? Two superior-quality Magical Instruments!

Look at my bracelet, and this necklace, hehe, I'm not going to tell you their specific uses,

Anyway, I really lucked out this time!"

Chen Yi maintained a smile, "Congratulations, Elder Zeng."

He was truly happy for others' fortunes without any sense of regret or envy.

"Come, Brother Chen, let's have a few drinks!"

"Okay, but I won't be going to the Silk Pleasure Pavilion."

"You... the Silk Pleasure Pavilion has been open so long, and yet you've never indulged yourself there. Are you even a man?

Fine, let's go to the Floating Moon Pavilion then. Vegetarian meals only for today."

Floating Moon Pavilion?

Is that the large building ship on Spirit Fish Lake with female cultivators providing company and drinks?

Chen Yi squinted his eyes.

If he went to Spirit Fish Lake, he would have to leave Market Town.

He activated the Turtle Breathing characteristic and glanced at the Spiritual Light above Old Zeng's head.

That glimpse almost made him break out in cold sweat.

Through the Turtle Breath Magical Power, Chen Yi saw a swathe of murderous intent over Old Zeng's head,

It was a clear sign that he had recently killed someone, perhaps more than one person.

However, that wasn't the scariest part.

What gave Chen Yi chills was that within Old Zeng's outer aura of blue spiritual light, there clearly hid a thick and evil blackness!

This black aura gave Chen Yi the same feeling as the demon cultivator who had robbed them when they were just budding immortals!

Considering that Old Zeng had just been promoted to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer,

and that the demon leader had escaped using the blood escape method, falling from the Qi Refining Seventh Layer to the Sixth Layer,

It would have taken him just about this much time to recover...

And since arriving at Market Town, Old Zeng had been frequently chatting with Chen Yi, inviting him for meals and drinks.

He had invited him to go treasure hunting, and this time he had invited Chen Yi to drink at the Spirit Fish Lake outside Market Town,

Aren't there enough restaurants in Market Town for you to drink at?

After this realization, Chen Yi was filled with trepidation.

This old fox is here for revenge!

Back then, Chen Yi's pill refining had ruined his plan, and after so many years Chen Yi had only gone out twice. Maybe the old demon hadn't found the chance to kill him,

Now, he's come close to Chen Yi,

I can't drink this liquor!

Chen Yi calculated in his head, trying to keep a troubled look off his face:

"Ah? We have to go as far as Spirit fish Lake?"

"Ai, forget it, it's too far away, I'm too lazy to trouble myself. Next time, I promise!"

Upon hearing this, Old Zeng's face twitched. Too lazy to bother?

He didn't want to go treasure hunting, and he didn't want to go to the lake for drinks?

How lazy can you get!

...

As expected, not long after, there were rumors.

There were rumors that a demon cultivator had appeared within several hundred miles around Spirit Fish Island. Some people said he killed without blinking an eye,

There were also rumors that the demon hid among ordinary cultivators, acting courteous and generous, truly befriend people, lure them out of Market Town with great rewards, and then murder them.

Some people speculated that this was a group of profit-driven individuals who targeted naive young cultivators.

However, rumors are just rumors. Perhaps the demon cultivator was too clever, never leaving any evidence behind,

The Tan family, the administrators of the Market Town, could only offer a high reward for information about the demon, promising a reward of 500 spirit stones to anyone who could provide evidence of the demon cultivator.

Market Town quickly returned to normal under the pacification of the Tan family. People were blinded by the surface prosperity and no longer mentioned the demon cultivator.

But Chen Yi was different; he genuinely knew that the demon was close at hand.

Therefore, he subtly reminded Zhao Chengyu, Liu Huo, and Zhao Chengjing,

If the Old Zeng next door was that Ghost Face from decades ago, then his presence here means he probably won't let those three immortal buds from back then off.

Adding that Old Zeng came from the Wu Family, many strange occurrences over the years started making sense when everything was linked together.

However, when Chen Yi warned them, he couldn't be too explicit,

The fact that he could see through others' inner light with his Turtle Breath Magical Power couldn't be shared,

So Chen Yi could only vaguely say that not everyone in the Market Town was a good person; perhaps there were demon cultivators or bandit cultivators among them. They should be careful and try to leave town as little as possible on normal days,

Even if they had to go out, they should be disguised, and it is best not to let anyone know their whereabouts."

Zhao Chengyu pointed at Chen Yi and laughed heartily: "You, with your young age and tender face, why are you as cautious as an old man of a hundred years?"
