This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Chapter 223: The Fish That Slipped Through The Net!

Xu Yang couldn’t fly on his own.

He used to rely on Yue Niang to carry him.

Now that all five of his wives were with him, he naturally couldn’t bother her anymore.

Holding Liu Shishi’s icy cold hand, Xu Yang said, “Shishi, my wife, let’s go down.”

Yun Mengxi couldn’t fly either, so Yue Yuluo carried her.

Although the Flying Zombie had the ability to fly, she hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Xu Yang and the women landed beside Minister Wang, who was staring blankly at the spot where the Asura Sect’s sect leader’s body had fallen. He joked:

“Minister Wang, that’s where you’re wrong… Since you and the Asura Sect Leader had this connection, why did we have to go through all this trouble? She was a powerful martial arts expert close to the Land Immortal level. Couldn’t you just compromise a little and recruit her?”

“Get lost!”

Wang Hou regained his senses and said helplessly, “Before this, I didn’t even know she was a woman, okay?”

However, his mind was filled with thoughts.

Some of his past doubts suddenly became clear…

Back then, when the Asura Sect had been hunting him down for years, and after numerous assassins had been killed, the Asura Sect Leader had personally pursued him for a while. At that time, he was at the peak of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, but the Asura Sect Leader was already at the peak of the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!

That was a dark time for Wang Hou.

On several occasions, he thought he would undoubtedly die.

In the end, he passed out after taking refuge in a cave… Unexpectedly, when he woke up, the Asura Sect Leader had vanished!

At that time, Wang Hou felt that he was simply lucky and his life was destined to go on. But now, it seemed… the Asura Sect Leader had let him go!

“Could it be…”

“Did the Asura Sect Leader fall in love with me while hunting me down?”

Am I that charming?

Of course.

But this was only a thought in his mind, and naturally, he couldn’t say it out loud. Facing Xu Yang’s teasing, he said, “The Asura Sect has committed who knows how many murders over the years. How could they be easily forgiven?”

He didn’t dwell on this issue too much and said, “Now that the Asura Sect Leader is dead, there’s no obstacle in breaking the Asura Sect’s cave. Let’s act as soon as possible to prevent the explosion from attracting powerful people from other countries.”

Wang Hou reached out and grabbed.

Splash!

The body of the Asura Sect Leader, which had fallen into the sea, flew out.

She was completely dead, still clutching her sword, but all her vital signs and even her soul had been annihilated by Wang Hou’s blow.

Wang Hou took the sword, examined it for a moment, and said, “Although this sword is not a Daoist artifact, it is a rare ancient weapon. You have already comprehended the essence of the sword, and the sword skill you cultivate is also quite extraordinary… This sword belongs to you!”

He tossed the sword to Xu Yang, casually stored the body of the Asura Sect Leader in his storage space, and then flashed to the turtle-shaped boulder the size of a house.

“Minister Wang, is the Asura Sect’s cave hidden inside this boulder?”

Xu Yang stepped forward, carefully examining the boulder, and couldn’t help but ask.

This was his first close encounter with a “cave”.

From the outside, this turtle-shaped black boulder seemed unremarkable, and it was only the size of a house… but inside it was a small world where people could live and reproduce!

Most importantly, the small world had its own “Dao”!

So when the spiritual aura of the human world was depleted, some powerful individuals survived to this day using these “caves”.

The Asura Sect had a long heritage. At the time of the spiritual aura depletion, there were no Land Immortals in the sect, but there were experts in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. They took a group of Asura Sect disciples and hid in the cave.

The Asura Sect Leader was born inside that cave.

Because of her outstanding talent, she was favored by the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, who took her as a disciple and cultivated her. So at the beginning of the spiritual aura resurgence, she was already at the peak of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm. Later, she took advantage of the spiritual aura resurgence to break into the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Standing on the black boulder, Wang Hou sighed, “Fortunately, the limitations in the cave are too great, and its Dao is incomplete, making it impossible to cultivate beyond the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm… Otherwise, who knows what the human world would be like today.”

“So, in the cave, one can only cultivate to the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm?”

Xu Yang said, “In that case, would a Dao cultivator be able to cultivate to the Divine Transcendence Realm? What about the four old Divine Masters in the Lu Shan Sect’s cave?”

“They were originally at the Divine Master level, but when the spiritual aura was depleted and the Dao disappeared, they used a secret technique to enter the cave to save themselves… Otherwise, if they were in the human world, the backlash from the loss of their realm and cultivation would have long killed them.”

Wang Hou said, “So, the powerful people in those caves can’t leave them now.”

Xu Yang suddenly understood.

He couldn’t help but think of Grandmaster Chengming.

He was an ancient person who had survived until now, and he could walk freely among humans. According to Wang Hou, his combat power had only been slightly affected… Comparing him to the others, it was obvious how terrifying he was!

But this was normal.

Zongsheng Palace might not be as famous in the public as Dragon Tiger Mountain, Maoshan Sect, and Chongyang Quanzhen Sect, but in terms of heritage and history, it was even more profound. It was reasonable for them to produce a master like Grandmaster Chengming.

Wang Hou held his sword and slashed towards the black boulder.

Hum!

The black boulder trembled, and a illusory gate of light appeared on it.

Wang Hou took the lead, stepping through the gate.

Xu Yang, Liu Shishi, Yue Yuluo, Yue Niang and the others followed closely behind.

Once they entered the “light gate,” they were engulfed in a vertigo-inducing sense of weightlessness. When Xu Yang landed, a plain appeared before him.

The plain wasn’t too large, only stretching for about ten miles. At the center of the plain was a small town, surrounded by fertile land. Most peculiar of all, there was even a sun hanging in the sky.

At this moment, it was nighttime outside, but here it was broad daylight.

“How peculiar… there’s a sun in such a small world?”

Xu Yang exclaimed.

Yue Niang said: “That sun is not a real sun, but an imitation Daoist artifact. Generally, in a perfect secret world like this, the creator would incorporate the power of Dao and create sun, moon and stars, allowing life to thrive within.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yang asked: “Is it the same for the ghost markets in the human world?”

Yue Niang thought for a moment and said, “I have never been to a ghost market; I have only heard of it. Ghost markets are similar to secret worlds in nature, but they are not suitable for long-term human habitation. They are derived from the Ghost Realm.”

At that moment, a sword light soared into the sky from the town ahead, apparently Wang Hou had already arrived in the town.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Xu Yang called out and complained, “It was my idea to come to the Asura Sect… Now I’ve become an onlooker, and I haven’t even drawn my sword yet… Let’s hurry over and see if we can join in the fight!”

However…

By the time Xu Yang arrived, there were many corpses lying haphazardly throughout the small town.

Wang Hou stood with a sword in hand, beside a white corpse.

Around him, many onlookers shivered, not knowing what had happened.

“Don’t worry, I, Wang, never kill innocent people… Those I kill are all deserving of death!”

Wang Hou said calmly.

These words were not empty.

The people Wang Hou killed were either those who resisted to the end or those who had killed and had malicious aura on them. As for the rest, whether they deserved to die or were guilty, Wang Hou didn’t bother to find out.

He swept his martial arts will and walked towards the center of the town.

There stood a luxurious and extravagant mansion, which should be the residence of the Asura Sect’s leader. Apparently, most of the Asura Sect’s wealth was stored there.

Xu Yang was in no hurry to search for treasure.

He looked at the corpses on the street, appearing as if he had lost his soul. He couldn’t help mumbling, “Minister Wang is too ruthless and brutal…”

“My husband, if you don’t completely eliminate the roots, they will grow back when the spring wind blows. This is how the martial world works. I’ve taken a close look, and all the martial arts Grandmasters and those above the Grandmaster Realm in this small town are now dead. The remaining ones are mostly ordinary people and ordinary martial artists. It’s hard to say whether they can even leave this cave heaven and blessed land on their own, let alone take revenge!”

Yun Mengxi said, “Besides, the Asura Sect is an assassin organization… I think they should all be killed!”

Xu Yang forced a bitter smile.

Who doesn’t understand this reasoning?

What I care about is the “merit points,” alright?

You, Wang Hou, can kill people, but why do you have to kill them so thoroughly?

Not even leaving their souls behind!

Shouldn’t you at least leave a few experts’ souls so that they can transform into vengeful ghosts using the Asura Sect’s secret techniques and let me scare them? Isn’t that better?

“There were quite a few experts in the Asura Sect, dozens of martial arts Grandmasters, and several at the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm level. Moreover, there are various Yin spirits, malevolent beings, monsters and demons. Even if half of them are killed by Dongfeng Express, if the remaining half all turn into vengeful ghosts, that would be so many merit points!”

Xu Yang did a rough calculation in his heart and felt even more pain.

He even lost interest in searching for treasure.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Hou arrived, beaming with a smile on his face as he clearly had gained much from the trip. He said, “Xu Yang… let’s go!”

After leaving the cave heaven and blessed land, Wang Hou said, “We have gained tremendously from this trip. The Asura Sect’s foundation is truly rich. The resources in their treasury are enough for our Spirits Management Bureau to cultivate quite a few experts in the short term.”

Xu Yang remained silent.

Wang Hou continued, “Our Spirits Management Bureau currently lacks resources, so we can’t give you a share of these items… However, there’s an abundance of gold, silver, treasures and many antiques in the Asura Sect, with a rough estimate of their value being over a hundred billion… I’ll have someone calculate your share later and transfer it to you.”

Xu Yang still looked unhappy.

Wang Hou, thinking that the issue was with dividing the spoils, said, “Or… do you want all the gold and silver treasures?”

“No!”

Xu Yang said, “Minister Wang… I don’t need money. I just think you did a terrible job today. We came here together, and you should have left me some opponents at least. It’s not fair that you killed all of them as soon as you entered.”

“……”

Wang Hou was at a loss of words.

I killed them all, and you’re lying down taking the spoils. Isn’t this great?

Thus, he hesitated and said, “So… what do we do? Shall we look around nearby for more? Asura Sect’s experts can’t all be in the headquarters… There must be some that slipped through the net, especially those Yin spirits, malevolent beings, monsters, and demons. They do not like living with people and are more likely to live on other islands.”

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.

He immediately cupped his hands and said, “Minister Wang, I finally came overseas and planned to take my wives sightseeing… So I’ll take my leave now!”

Wang Hou was a bit confused about Xu Yang’s thoughts, but as they had used “intercontinental missiles” today, the incident would definitely cause a sensation. He had to quickly return to make arrangements to avoid bad public opinion once the news broke. He then bid farewell to Xu Yang and flew into the eastern horizon.

Xu Yang licked his lips, looking excited, and said, “Hehe… wives, let’s get moving and catch some fish!”

“What fish?”

Yue Yuluo was relatively innocent and curiously asked, “Husband, are you going to catch fish in the sea?”

Xu Yang laughed, “The fish I’m talking about are the ones that slipped through the net!”
