Chapter 249: Chapter 150: Leader of the Righteous Path? Wrong, I am from the Chaotic Camp!_2

Some people honestly came forward, but there were others who didn’t believe in curses and stood up, intent on using their Qinggong to leave.

Just as they leapt onto the rooftops, they discovered to the horror of everyone watching that their bodies had withered from the chest down as if all moisture had been instantly drained.

Then they fell, the sensation of being unable to breathe and the chaos within their bodies made them realize death was near.

Gu Shanhai didn’t even glance at the other party, he had said it before, come forward to confess, and you may live, if not, don’t blame him for being ruthless.

"Speak up, what’s going on," Gu Shanhai asked calmly to the people coming over.

This attack on him right after he appeared couldn’t possibly be the work of any small faction.

"It’s not related to us, Master Lu, it’s the Demon Sect, it’s the Red Bone King from the Demon Sect who has misled us—truly deserving of death, daring to scheme against Master Lu, a paragon of righteousness like yourself," someone hastily revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

Then the remaining people chimed in, insisting they were innocent as Little White, all claiming to have been deceived.

"Oh? And who might the Red Bone King be? Come out and show yourself," Gu Shanhai said mockingly, then remembered the sects and backgrounds of these people.

"The Red Bone King got what he deserved and is already bowing his head," someone pointed to a corpse with bulging eyes that had ceased breathing.

Gu Shanhai took a look; it was one of those who believed themselves above the curse, apparently very confident in their Qinggong, but unfortunately, that was all it amounted to.

"So, what did this Red Bone King want from you? Surely when he said he wanted to kill me, you didn’t just agree. He must have promised you some benefits. Why not share—I’m also curious to know what kind of price can lead you to being misled," Gu Shanhai said with a smile.

The mastermind? Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t believe that a group of righteous sects could be commanded by the Red Bone King of the Evil Path’s Demon Sect, more likely used as scapegoats.

"Master Lu jests, righteousness and evil are incompatible. We, the people of the righteous path, are surely sharpening our will, how could we possibly conspire with the filth of the Evil Path," someone stated righteously.

Meaning, they hadn’t accepted any benefits.

"Very well, what a perfect model of righteousness," Gu Shanhai applauded them, encouraging them, and then said, "Now that I’m mixed up with the Evil Path, since you won’t talk, it’s time to enforce the incompatibility of righteousness and evil and make an example by killing you all."

"!!!"×N

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They all had faces to maintain and would do anything under the cover of righteousness; how dare he speak so bluntly.

"Don’t jest, Master Lu, you are the paragon of the righteous path," someone said begrudgingly.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll start by killing you and then slaughter the entire town. Then I can say you colluded with the Demon Sect to slaughter the town and I can kill your whole families for a good harvest. Besides, just because you say I’m a paragon of the righteous path doesn’t make it true, the Heavenly Sect Master wouldn’t agree," Gu Shanhai jested.

Righteousness and evil are but a single thought away; they had stepped on his face, and all they lost were their families and sects. Gu Shanhai’s reputation was at stake. How could they not consider Gu Shanhai’s feelings?

Double standards were something Gu Shanhai was far more adept at than they.

The people present thought to play the games of relationships and benefits with Gu Shanhai, but he no longer had the leisure for such things and proceeded directly with a Soul Search.

’Not the Heavenly Sect Demon Gate, but the imperial court?’

’That’s right, the capital may have been shattered, but that doesn’t mean the imperial court is gone. Everywhere is now self-governing, and those Vassal Kings surely have their eyes on me.’

’The Vassal Kings have formed a Martial Alliance as a substitute for the imperial court and have inherited all its assets. Now they hold a great deal of power and resources and are covertly absorbing a large number of sects. It seems they plan to discard the old imperial patterns and instead form a community of interest based on the sects.’

These people were naturally from the sects under the Martial Alliance, but the Alliance was still in its infancy and hidden in the shadows, with a long road ahead to genuinely step into the limelight.

At the very least, the Heavenly Sect and the Demon Gate were two huge obstacles they couldn’t bypass, and the other sects faced the same struggle in their development, which allowed the Martial Alliance to succeed.

However, the Martial Alliance was fraught with strife within, never-ending power struggles. The Vassal Kings were well-versed in this, and the sects each had their own strengths.

Listening to these people, Gu Shanhai felt his interest waning. Aside from moral high ground, pointing fingers, moral coercion, and double standards, there was nothing new.

"Sigh, I gave you all a chance," Gu Shanhai proved true to his word—if one person had spoken up, he would have spared them. But these people relied on their status, apparently believing Gu Shanhai really wouldn’t take action.

"Wait! You know who I..."

Seeing Gu Shanhai about to make a move, someone immediately tried to throw around the weight of their family connections. But before they could finish speaking, corpses littered the ground.

"I always say, tell me who your father or master is earlier, not when I’m about to strike," Gu Shanhai only saw their behavior as extremely naive. A brawl was already under way; did they really think their family mattered?

It doesn’t matter if it’s some Sect Leader or even the Heavenly King’s father; no one could stop what was coming.

"As for the survivors, what shall I do with them?"

At that moment, Gu Shanhai’s chaotic nature shone through. He moved effortlessly between the righteous and evil paths, and killing to silence others came all the more naturally to him.

"Can’t concoct the Life Extending Pill anymore, and I haven’t learned the Evil Path methods."

"However, the Blood Barrier Pill can certainly be put to good use. They explode quite spectacularly."

The Blood Barrier Pill, a special kind of pill that erodes human blood, didn’t need to be ingested. Just crushing it and throwing it into a crowd would do the job.

It belonged to the blood and flesh techniques that Gu Shanhai had developed, with rather difficult-to-extract raw materials. But now, there was a group of people who had offended him.

"I had planned to leave directly to look for Huang Yanshan, but these people forced me to stay a couple extra days; they are utterly detestable."

Gu Shanhai muttered as he took out the Nine Extremes Outer Pill and began to extract mana to arrange the setup.

The area was too large; using Azure Dragon as a Pill Furnace was too troublesome. It was better to spend a bit of mana, as that was what it was intended for anyway.

So he decided to switch to a different method of concoction, as long as it produced a pill in the end.

"First, purify the entire town with healing magic to increase the purity. Once the purity is high, extracting the raw materials will be much simpler."

In an instant, a terrifying life force swept through the entire town. This life force was transformed from the mana inside the Nine Extremes Outer Pill by Gu Shanhai, and it possessed a strong erosive quality.

At first, one would feel refreshed, but then the flesh and blood would start to change toward Gu Shanhai’s appearance. His life force was gradually replacing theirs.

The life force being replaced expelled from their bodies, taking with it their own vital essence, which was then gathered and reforged by Gu Shanhai into the Blood Barrier Pills.

Next, of course, was to withdraw the life force that Gu Shanhai had left in their bodies.

He couldn’t possibly leave his life force in the husks of bodies; that would be a pure waste.

Neutral amidst chaos, a player of the Evil Path.

Gu Shanhai had good intentions, but they were never placed in sentimentality, but rather in interest.

Players were just like that, regardless of whether they were lawful and kind or neutral and kind. They treated the indigenous people as mere NPCs, with plot-driven players never truly sympathetic to the background characters.

There might be exceptions, but they didn’t last long.

No unresolved feelings; it’s merely a matter of insufficiency in strength.

With enough strength, whether it’s resurrection or reincarnation from the impure land, isn’t it just a word away?

Clumps of blood-colored essence converged in Gu Shanhai’s hands, becoming dense, and finally turned into a blood pill.

"Blood Barrier Pill, success. Next, just need to figure out how to throw it into Heavenly City," Gu Shanhai flipped the Blood Barrier Pill into storage, extremely satisfied with this pill; its poisonous effects were exceptionally pure, the effectiveness could be described as perfect to a T.
