What If I Can't Die?
Chapter 155 - 155 The Reason for Her Wanting to Be Strong
155 The Reason for Her Wanting to Be Strong
In the dark palace, a white-robed man’s eyes were gloomy. The nearby Void distorted, and snowflakes fluttered, affecting the weather.
Thank you readers!
He gritted his teeth. “Was it the cultivators from the orthodox path or the demonic path?”
“Demonic!”
Hong Luo floated in the air, calm and certain.
“Demonic path?”
The man in white’s eyes was cold, “Is he my enemy?”
Hong Luo shook his head. “No, the murderer should be someone from the Heavenly Ghost Sect. As for who it is, we’re investigating. There are some situations that you have to investigate personally. It’s not easy for me to enter their territory.”
“Heavenly Ghost Sect?”
The man in white frowned. “What’s going on? It’s impossible that their people don’t know Su’er’s identity, let alone come to provoke me in the current situation of the Alliance, right?”
At this moment, a paper effigy flew back from Hong Luo’s side. After receiving the message, she said, “According to the preliminary investigation, your son’s death might be related to a new elder they recently recruited. After all, he’s new and doesn’t know the situation.”
The man in white pondered. “Have you contacted Lu Jiu?”
“Not yet. Through some spies, I’ve deduced that this person is the most suspicious tonight. Do you want to force Lu Jiu to hand him over?”
Hong Luo asked in return.
“I think it’s going to be a little difficult.”
The man in white pondered for a moment, “He’s very protective of his people.”
“That’s right. With his personality, it would be difficult for him to let them go without any evidence. Furthermore, this is a critical moment. The cultivators of Great Qian have already noticed the ancient cultivator’s cave abode. Therefore, I dare not go over to ask directly about the matter in order to avoid causing a huge conflict.”
There was a hint of mockery on Hong Luo’s face. “I’ve investigated the reason. Your son probably wanted to kill and rob that person, but he was killed instead. So even if you want to take revenge, it’s hard to state the wrongdoings as a reason.”
“That piece of trash. Did I not give him enough resources? Why does he keep insisting on killing people and snatching their treasures!”
The man in white looked even angrier than before. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have given him so much protection. Then things wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“The critical part is dealing with his mother. I’m afraid it’s hard to say how she will react to this. After all, the Sect Master has been negotiating with them about a partnership recently.”
Hong Luo sighed. “Now that we’re fighting on multiple fronts, our forces are getting more and more scattered. It’s not optimistic to have conflicts with our allies either.”
“I know.”
The man in white frowned. “I’ll handle this myself. It won’t affect the overall situation for the sect.”
Hong Luo added. She was usually in charge of intelligence and so on. This matter overlapped with her responsibilities.
“Thank you for your help!”
The man in white nodded. He was in charge of the war in Jinzhou. Although Hong Luo was his assistant, there was not much difference in their levels.
“It’s my job.”
Hong Luo threw down a piece of paper, “This is the first piece of information on him. You’ll find him interesting after reading it.”
Hong Luo turned around and disappeared into pieces of paper. In the end, only a piece of red paper fell onto the ground.
The white-robed man took it and swept his gaze over. His pupils constricted slightly. “Unknown origin, true identity unknown. A day ago, he was suddenly picked up by Old Man Nightmare and Lu Youyou personally. He became an elder at Foundation Establishment realm in the Heavenly Ghost Sect…”
Seeing the information on it, the white-robed man narrowed his eyes. “Lu Jiu won’t be so polite to an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. He even asked his daughter to bring him back personally. What’s so special about this person?”
The snowflakes around him disappeared and his aura was restrained. It meant that he had completely calmed down and had started to think.
At his position and cultivation level, he had several descendants. The death of a son was not enough to make him lose his mind.
Actually, when he heard that his second son was killed in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range, he knew that this matter would not be simple.
Because only he knew that this second son of his had a strand of primordial demon spirit protecting him. Even if he encountered a perfection-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator, he would still be able to kill him.
As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, who didn’t know about the White Snake Demon Venerable? They would at least give her some face.
He pondered for a moment and sent a voice transmission: “My eldest son, come here for a moment”
Half a minute later, a young man who looked similar to him walked in.
His name was Lu Ke. He was the outstanding talent of Sky Demon Cult’s younger generation and had formed his Golden Core before he was even a hundred years old. Now that he had formed his Golden Core, he had a high chance of forming his Nascent Soul within a hundred years.
“Father, why are you looking for me so late at night? Is there something urgent?”
“Your second brother is dead. Four hours ago, he went to kill someone to snatch their treasures but was killed by the mysterious person instead.”
The man in white calmly explained the situation, as if the one who died was not his son.
“I knew this would happen.”
Lu Ke wasn’t surprised at all. “He always wants to snatch other people’s things. There are still people giving in to him here and he can still bully people outside on behalf of our family name, but I suppose he was unable to do that forever.”
“I didn’t call you here to listen to you mock him. Find an opportunity to investigate this person.”
The man in white threw out the piece of red paper.
“Guardian Hong Luo is paying attention to him too?”
Lu Ke was surprised. This piece of paper represented the use of the Sky Demon Cult’s intelligence system. For it to appear so quickly meant that it was a very important matter. It seems that this matter shouldn’t have been because of his useless brother only.
“Take this basic information and help me figure out this person’s true identity. If possible, kill him to avenge your brother on behalf of that person as well.”
The man in white reminded, “Remember, this is your own operation. It has nothing to do with the sect for the time being.”
“I understand.”
Lu Ke nodded and turned to walk out, “I’ll look for Lu Youyou tomorrow and see if I can find out more about this person.”
“If you want to kill him, let me know.”
The man in white added.
Lu Ke paused for a moment, “I’ll see how it goes.”
Walking out of the palace, Lu Ke looked at the information on the red paper and smiled. “I want to see what’s going on with you and if you’re worth making a move on.”
At dawn, Lu Ke picked a bunch of flowers in the mountains and arrived outside the Supreme Kraken Ship.
The people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect were not surprised to see this.
There were many people pursuing their young miss, and this genius from the Sky Demon Cult was one of them. Moreover, they had a good relationship and he has a chance of succeeding.
“Young Master Lu, Miss is cultivating. It’s not convenient for her to see you now.”
Old Man Nightmare walked out and said politely.
“Oh, don’t Youyou like to play? I want to take her to an interesting place I found out about recently.”
Lu Ke smiled. He wasn’t dissatisfied at all that he was left out in the cold or to have gotten the cold shoulder.
“Miss had suffered bullying by somebody outside recently and had been motivated to cultivate diligently.”
Old Man Nightmare smiled bitterly.
“Who dares to attack Youyou?” Lu Ke looked angry.
“A senior of the demon race that sold paper effigies in Silken City.”
Old Man Nightmare replied.
“Granny Cat? How did Youyou offend her…” Lu Ke was regretful. “Then I’ll come back tomorrow. Elder Nightmare, please hand this bouquet to Youyou.”
“Okay.”
Old Man Nightmare took the flowers and was about to go back.
Lu Ke said, “I heard that your sect has recruited a new elder. I wonder if Elder Nightmare can introduce me to him.”
“He’s also cultivating.”
Old Man Nightmare shook his head, “I can’t tell you the details. You should ask him yourself when you see him.”
“Alright, I won’t be staying for long. Goodbye.”
Lu Ke didn’t seem to care at all. He nodded calmly and turned to leave.
Old Man Nightmare turned around and looked at the spot where Song Shi was cultivating. There was a faint bloody glow.
He muttered in his heart, “The real reason why Miss is so angry and ambitious is because she was beaten up by this person…”
In the dark palace, a white-robed man’s eyes were gloomy. The nearby Void distorted, and snowflakes fluttered, affecting the weather.
