Chapter 1027: Chapter 1024: You Shall Not Disturb My Dao Heart
Others also thought Xu Wendong was too arrogant and dismissive of others because he was just an ordinary person.
Even if he wanted to kill Qin Yuan, he didn’t have the ability.
After all, the Qin Family was the number one powerful family in the Magic Capital.
Furthermore, they had a Golden Core Late Stage super expert as a backing.
Xu Wendong glanced at Qin Huan, his eyes calm as he said, "This guy is about to die from deviation."
"He can’t even save his own life, so how can he protect you?"
A strong killing intent rose in Qin Huan’s heart: "Young man, you’ve repeatedly disrespected me, even cursing me to soon fall into deviation. Do you really think I don’t dare to cut you down?"
With a terrifying intent to kill, a silver shining longsword suddenly appeared behind Qin Huan.
The longsword floated in mid-air, emitting a suffocating aura that made everyone hold their breath, not daring to exhale.
Faced with the wrath of a Golden Core Late Stage expert and boundless killing intent, ordinary people simply couldn’t withstand it.
However.
Wu Yongheng seemed very relaxed, a faint smile on his face.
Because he knew.
Qin Huan was on the brink of deviation.
Jiang Xueyao arrived upon hearing the news, and when she saw Qin Huan’s face full of anger, her heart suddenly trembled violently, and a strong sense of crisis surged up.
She never expected Xu Wendong would actually offend this Golden Core Stage expert of the Qin Family.
Even though he had a powerful figure behind him.
That powerful figure behind him hadn’t appeared.
If Qin Huan were to make a move, Xu Wendong would definitely be bloodied within five steps, dying tragically on the spot.
But just at this moment.
What no one expected happened, as Qin Huan, who had been full of anger, suddenly froze, then abruptly spewed a mouthful of blood.
Plop!
Crimson blood spurted from his mouth, making everyone’s skin crawl and shiver.
Meanwhile.
Everyone felt it, the Golden Core Power within Qin Huan’s body became extremely chaotic, like a deflated balloon, quickly gushing out.
As the Golden Core Power rapidly dissipated, Qin Huan’s appearance underwent a tremendous change, becoming extremely old, with wrinkles like the bark of a withered tree.
"How could this be... How could I fall into deviation?" Qin Huan’s mindset collapsed, shattered a little.
He had always believed his mindset was very stable, even during usual cultivation, he had never encountered the risk of deviation.
But.
He never imagined, not even in his dreams, that he would inexplicably fall into deviation.
Thud!
Qin Huan fell headfirst to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Watching the once lofty, powerful, and terrifying Golden Core Late Stage expert turn into a dried corpse and die before them.
The cultivators around couldn’t help but step back a few paces, their eyes revealing unhideable shock and terror.
Even having witnessed it, they couldn’t believe a living Golden Core Late Stage expert would mysteriously die like that.
The atmosphere became tense and eerie at this moment.
Of course.
The people of the Qin Family showed expressions of fear, feeling as if the sky had collapsed.
One must know Qin Huan was the Qin Family’s pillar; without Qin Huan guarding the Qin Family, it would have long been overtaken by other cultivators.
Now Qin Huan’s mysterious death would be a catastrophic disaster for the Qin Family.
"Young Master Qin, see, I wasn’t lying, he really fell into deviation and lost his life." Xu Wendong’s mocking voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Wendong, their eyes filled with indescribable fear.
Even though this guy was an ordinary person.
He exuded an atmosphere of eeriness all over.
Because he accurately predicted Qin Huan would die from deviation, people could not help but be wary of his existence.
Because no one knew if he possessed some divine skill of words becoming reality or had deep and mysterious curse techniques.
In short, in their eyes, Qin Huan’s death was more or less related to Xu Wendong.
Qin Yuan gazed at Xu Wendong in shock, his eyes full of unease: "Xu Wendong, it’s a lawful society now; if you kill me, the police won’t let you go."
At this point, he could only use the police to deter Xu Wendong.
Swoosh!
Without any warning.
A longsword suddenly pierced through his chest from behind, spraying a crimson mist of blood.
Qin Yuan looked back in shock, seeing that it was Wu Yongheng who acted, he said in a daze: "Are you crazy? I have no grievance with you, why kill me?"
Wu Yongheng gleefully asked, "Does it satisfy you if the reason is just not liking you?"
Blood gushed from Qin Yuan’s mouth: "Does it matter if I’m satisfied... now?" With that, his body fell weakly to the ground, blood quickly staining the ground, and he lost his breath.
However, his eyes were fixed on Xu Wendong, filled with a venomous look.
He never expected Wu Yongheng would help Xu Wendong kill himself.
He couldn’t fathom the reason for it.
"Elder, our Qin Family is willing to give up all our wealth, please grant us a path to survival!"
Elder Qin’s face was filled with fear, kneeling on the ground, begging continuously.
Upon witnessing Qin Huan’s mysterious death, he had already anticipated the Qin Family’s fate, just not expecting the downfall to arrive so swiftly.
"Wealth is as fleeting as clouds before cultivators, don’t think to disturb my Dao mind." Wu Yongheng’s eyes sharpened, and the longsword flashed quickly through the night sky, instantly piercing through the chests of the Qin Family members, leading them to a swift and tragic death.
After doing this, Wu Yongheng performed the spell with one hand, unleashing a Fire Element spell, burning the Qin Family members’ bodies to ashes in front of everyone.
This scene heavily weighed on Xu Wendong’s heart, as he could have prevented the Qin Family’s tragic demise.
But what truly weighed heavily on his heart was not the death of a few people, but the realization that in the eyes of the cultivators from the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, the lives of ordinary people were as cheap as straw.
Even though he had refined the Boundary Stele of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, he could counsel everyone to have more compassion for the common people, and even make the cultivators from the Kunlun Mountains Minor World abide by the laws of the mortal world.
But he couldn’t do that.
Because cultivators defy the heavens to transcend life and death, to escape the cycle of Samsara, and achieve Immortality.
This is a path of unrelenting forward motion, if he were to make them follow worldly laws, wouldn’t it just add shackles to them?
Initially, he naively thought he could balance the scales, allowing cultivators and mortals to coexist peacefully.
Through today’s events, he realized.
Some things even he couldn’t change.
Even though he didn’t want to admit it.
He had to admit.
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs.
Thinking of this, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but sigh, feeling the insignificance and cheapness of human life before the Heavenly Dao.
And just at that moment.
He was astonished to feel that his state of mind had greatly improved.
This excited him immensely.
Because he sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough!
