Chapter 345: 195th Chapter: Gift of 10 Swords_6

Impossible?!

Fang Yu suddenly looked up.

"Green..." His voice cracked sharply, immediately drawing the attention of Li Baizhen and those behind him.

Fang Yu quickly lowered his head and said, "Please, Lord Shidao, spare me. I was confused just now, please spare my humble life."

Li Shidao, with his back to Li Baizhen, dropped the act and looked at Fang Yu with amusement in his eyes.

"Whether I spare your life or not depends on my mood. Right now, I’m in a good mood, but if you talk more, it may change."

Information was exchanged through eye contact, completing the basic communication.

Upon confirming that Li Shidao was actually the Green Demon, Fang Yu completely relaxed, and his whole body eased.

Steady!

With Brother Qing here, what do I have to fear!

Had I known it was Brother Qing, I wouldn’t have moved; just wait for Brother Qing to take me away and it would all be over!

Li Baizhen, standing beside them, returned from his stupor.

He then realized what Fang Yu intended to do.

At first, he thought Fang Yu was giving him a dignified end, sparing him from the Li Family’s harsh tortures.

Although surprised, he could accept this result.

But thinking back, being the closest to Fang Yu, he could feel from Fang Yu’s movements that this strike did not seem aimed at killing him.

That sword, slashing towards the neck, but typically, there’s no need to use such an extreme distance, using just the very tip of the blade to cut someone.

After all, if the target were to move back slightly, they could avoid a fatal attack.

If the sword missed...

Li Baizhen looked at the Li Family guard who had just passed by to check on Li Shidao and suddenly understood.

So that’s it...

Diao Deyi, this was your plan.

Li Baizhen smirked inwardly.

Thankfully, you didn’t succeed. Otherwise, I would have had to watch you die before me.

Being caught by Lord Shidao, even if we got rid of a guard, there was no chance of escaping.

Watching Diao Deyi quiet down, Li Baizhen also felt at ease.

Diao Deyi was a Demon Martial Artist; surely, Yangshen Hall wouldn’t let him die easily.

It was just strange that since the failure, Diao Deyi stopped interacting with him, even avoiding eye contact.

No need for that.

Li Baizhen said to himself.

I already know your intent; that sword wasn’t meant for me, no need to blame yourself.

Li Baizhen guessed that Diao Deyi couldn’t get over his guilt, hence the avoidance of contact.

With a sigh, after leaving the Foolish Underworld, they were taken away in two separate carriages.

He was pressed into a carriage by a guard and other Li Family people, to be taken to the Li Mansion.

While Diao Deyi was taken by Lord Shidao and another guard in a different carriage, heading in another direction.

"Diao Deyii! Lord Shidao, let Diao Deyi go!!"

As they were separated, Li Baizhen shouted, resisting fiercely, but was quickly knocked out and stuffed into the carriage, motionless.

When Li Baizhen woke up again, he saw the enormous, familiar, and terrifying Li Mansion right in front of him!

And waiting at the doorway was... Li Pincheng!

The one, who in countless nights, was like a nightmare... Father!

Although it had been five years, Father’s appearance hadn’t changed at all, as though time had frozen on that night.

It seemed that Li Pincheng sensed Li Baizhen’s gaze from inside the carriage.

Li Pincheng turned his head and gave Li Baizhen a grin, revealing a terrifying smile.

That familiar, nightmare-like smile!

It was at this moment that the fear that had always weighed on his heart and lurked deep within erupted like a tidal wave.

Li Baizhen’s eyes widened in terror; he let out a strange cry, and desperately shrunk into the corner of the carriage as his heart pounded wildly.

Luckily, at that moment, the carriage curtain was let down by someone, blocking the view and offering slight relief.

The intense fear even made him momentarily forget Diao Deyi, forget everything about the Foolish Underworld.

It’s been five years.

Five years have passed.

I can face it! I’ve grown! I’m not who I was before!!

Li Baizhen encouraged himself, mustering courage.

And just at that moment.

Swoosh—

A hand suddenly burst through the grey curtain, grabbed his collar fiercely.

Amid his terrified screams, he was yanked backward and dragged out of the carriage onto the ground.

At the moment Li Baizhen barely opened his eyes, a large face was almost touching his, right in front of him.

"Little Baizhen, long time no see."

The pungent stench and a mouthful of black teeth plunged Li Baizhen into the abyss.

...

"Spirit is a very special thing."

"Its growth conditions are complex, without any discernible patterns."

"Perhaps wandering for a while, it would grow stronger."

"Or perhaps it needs to be immersed in an icy lake to strengthen."

"This arbitrary path to increasing strength leads most spirits to grow wildly, like headless flies, or to disappear into silence without a trace."

"That’s why spirits need a vessel, which means a Believer."

"A Believer can stabilize the growth of a spirit."

"As long as the vessel grows, the spirit can grow along with it."

"When a spirit grows to a certain extent, it will erode the vessel and take control."

"This process cuts off all emotions of the vessel and annihilates any existence that might awaken its consciousness."

"Then, the spirit becomes independent. It has evolved and seeks a new target, and this cycle continues, until... it becomes a god, or is annihilated."

"For us demons, spirits are as terrifying as natural enemies, inherently antagonistic."
