…

[Hatred List –

…

1. Ji Lianyou, early-stage Foundation Establishment. Current hatred level: 100.

…

2. Liu Feiyang, early-stage Golden Core. Current hatred level: 99.

…

3. Jiang Shaoyuan, Qi Refinement Level 7. Current hatred level: 90.

…

4. Xia Qiao, late-stage Foundation Establishment. Current hatred level: 89.

…

…

29. Wei Feifei, late-stage Foundation Establishment. Current hatred level: 64.]

…

Good grief!

He had made more than 30 enemies just like that.

Wei Bujuan was dumbfounded!

A hatred level of 90 and above pretty much meant a blood feud in which both parties could no longer co-exist.

Everything else aside.

The top three would definitely try all means and ways to seek him out for revenge!

But the most important thing was –

“I didn’t do anything!”

Wei Bujuan hastily stood up.

He looked around in a daze.

From what he could see with the naked eye, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

He opened Qi Observation again and patrolled one round.

Only then did he notice the utterly charred corpse outside the walls surrounding the backyard of Clear Wind Temple!

…

[Liu Zhiyuan (Deceased): While alive, he was an elder of Black Frost Demonic Sect’s Yongzhou Branch. His Blood Cocoon Demonic Technique was quite exquisite. He had a conflict with Xuan Zhenzi over a Hundred Money Herb, and had come to seek revenge. But in the end, because his negative karma angered the heavenly tribulation, he was struck dead by a bolt of lightning!

…

[He was a person of high status in Black Frost Demonic Sect. After his death, his longevity lamp will be extinguished, and Black Frost Demonic Sect will certainly respond…]

…

Wei Bujuan was speechless.

“How could that guy die just like that?”

And what did him being struck dead by the heavenly tribulation have to do with Wei Bujuan?!

His family did not own the tribulation clouds!

For no reason, he had made enemies.

That upset him a bit.

If only there was a worldwide loudspeaker function.

He would immediately post 10 such announcements to the world in succession –

…

[I solemnly inform you that Elder Liu Zhiyuan has passed away due to his encounter with a heavenly tribulation. His death has nothing to do with me!]

…

Just then.

A few messages flashed.

…

[You have killed a demonic sect member with heavy negative karma. His negative karma will be converted to your merit!

…

[The Merit module is activated –

…

Current Merit Points: 93

…

Items Redeemable with Merit: None]

…

[You have obtained the achievement Eliminate Demons Defend Dao]

…

[Eliminate Demons Defend Dao (New): We are duty-bound to eliminate demons!

…

You have received the reward Energy +1]

…

“It was good for him to die!”

Wei Bujuan was rejuvenated.

Merit was good!

It would come in very useful later.

Just Liu Zhiyuan alone had given him 93 merit points. That proved how heavy his negative karma was while he was alive!

He used Qi Observation to briefly go through the introduction.

The Blood Cocoon Demonic Technique actually required fresh blood from man-eating beasts everyday in order to cultivate.

Black Frost Demonic Sect was clearly an evil sect devoid of conscience!

“The deaths of 10,000 of these demonic path cultivators would not even be worth shedding a tear over!”

“Anyway, I’ve got the protection of the heavenly tribulations. Which evil person from the demonic sect would dare to approach me?”

With that sudden thought.

Wei Bujuan was now relieved.

He looked at the charred corpse, and felt it was a waste.

Under the attack of the heavenly lightning.

It was enough that Liu Zhiyuan had been killed.

But even the medicinal pills and magic equipment on him had been completely destroyed.

Although there were a few spirit stones scattered on the ground.

Unfortunately, he could not pick them up now.

Speaking of the heavenly tribulation…

It seemed to have been stimulated by Liu Zhiyuan’s negative karma.

Nine Heavens Lightning was now striking with greater frequency!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three balls of lightning beat down on Wei Bujuan’s head like torrential rain, one after another.

He touched his scalp.

It was burning hot!

“The heavenly tribulations are indeed terrifying!”

Wei Bujuan yawned.

He began to use Qi Observation on every person on the Hatred List, one by one.

After going one round.

He was exhausted.

But Wei Bujuan’s eyes now had some reassurance.

That was not too bad.

There were no particularly powerful people blessed with great fortune among the enemies.

The one with the most outstanding fate was Liu Zhiyuan’s son, Liu Feiyang –

…

[Liu Feiyang: Early-stage Golden Core. Male, 44 years old. An elite disciple of Blue Sky Demonic Sect. Cultivates the supreme magic technique Great Asura Immortal Technique.

…

Life –

…

At a young age, Liu Feiyang was sent by his father, Liu Zhiyuan, to the Blue Sky Demonic Sect holy land in Northern Mountain Kingdom. He has never left since.

…

Though ignorant of worldly affairs, Liu Feiyang has a vicious mindset when it comes to cultivating magic. He has extremely heavy negative karma. After learning of his father’s death, he will certainly not let it go!

…

Innate Fate –

…

Natural Demon (Green): A natural-born evil demon, able to cultivate demonic techniques with half the effort required.

…

Cultivation Heritage (Blue): As both parents are cultivators, they must have an exceptional technique that he will inherit.

…

Drunken Madness (Gray): Enters a demonic state after drinking wine. After entering a demonic state, becomes extremely bloodthirsty, unable to even recognize family. Has a very low chance of breaking through to a higher level.]

…

Thank goodness he had the protection of the heavenly tribulations!

Wei Bujuan knew.

Although Liu Feiyang’s fate paled in comparison to Ah Yuan’s.

It was exceptional compared to ordinary people!

Even without mentioning the other things.

Being a Golden Core at 44 years of age was enough to prove how suitable the cultivation of demonic techniques was for him!

He was a formidable opponent!

…

As for the other two in the top three of the Hatred List.

The male disciple called Jiang Shaoyuan was probably the disciple that Liu Zhiyuan was closest to.

He was only at Qi Refinement Level 7.

But he was hungry for revenge.

That showed that they had a close teacher-disciple relationship.

Behind him were several more disciples of Liu Zhiyuan.

However, their hatred levels were only about 70.

With that kind of value, they would probably only take revenge if it was convenient for them.

…

As for the first-ranked Ji Lianyou.

Wei Bujuan came to understand that she was Liu Zhiyuan’s concubine.

She had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage that year, with Liu Zhiyuan’s help.

The Hundred Money Herb that Liu Zhiyuan and Xuan Zhenzi had previously gotten into a scuffle for at a market auction.

Was precisely to help Ji Lianyou solidify her cultivation.

Those two seemed to truly love each other.

But right at the bottom of the Hatred List.

The woman called Wei Feifei.

Was Liu Zhiyuan’s first wife and Liu Feiyang’s biological mother.

However, they probably did not have any more feelings for each other.

Her husband had died, but her hatred level was only 64.

She would probably have a higher hatred level if a pet cat or dog had died!

…

“Interesting, interesting!”

He finished reading all the information on those people at one go.

It felt like he had just completed a gossipy drama.

[Qi Observation is currently being displayed.]

Every person on the list was connected by lines, forming a network of criss-crossed lines.

Most of the lines were gray.

That meant that their relationship was unknown.

But a few were in different colors and had labels on them.

Wei Bujuan delved into them with great interest.

…

“Xia Qiao, ranked fourth on the Hatred List, is Liu Zhiyuan’s best friend. He’s a heterodox itinerant cultivator. With Liu Zhiyuan’s help, he managed to embark on the path of immortal cultivation. He’s the closest to Liu Zhiyuan.

A hatred level of 89 was not low. So their friendship was clearly real. The question was, how could that guy be in a love relationship with Liu Zhiyuan’s wife, Wei Feifei?

Was it a case of him helping to ‘mediate’ after the feelings between his elder brother and sister-in-law had waned?

…

“Lu Guiyuan, ranked 28th, is the law enforcement elder of Black Frost Demonic Sect’s Yongzhou Branch. Recently, he has been competing with Liu Zhiyuan for the position of Vice Sect Leader. He’s actually overjoyed at Liu Zhiyuan’s death, but has to act like he’s investigating because of his position…”

…

“There’s also the good disciple hungry for revenge, Jiang Shaoyuan, who seems to be crazily infatuated with his teacher’s concubine, Ji Lianyou…what a mess this circle is!”

…

He had spectated to his heart’s content.

Wei Bujuan felt refreshed.

In conclusion.

The only one who seemed human was Liu Feiyang.

“Thank goodness. He’s probably out of town now and won’t be back for a while…”

But Wei Bujuan still felt a sense of danger.

What if those demonic sect members had a way to shield themselves from the heavenly tribulations?

Although he had never heard of such a thing.

But what if!

“Looks like I’ll have to work hard on cultivation!”

He promptly swallowed a grain avoidance pill.

Wei Bujuan closed his eyes and quickly entered a meditative state.

…

…

The next day.

In the valley of Six Peak Mountain in Yongzhou.

At a branch of Black Frost Demonic Sect.

There was a lot of noise in the Deacons Hall.

Only after a long time.

Did someone manage to grab everyone’s attention.

“Elder Liu’s longevity lamp was extinguished yesterday. I’m sure everyone is aware?”

A spirited, silver-haired old man said, pretending to be grieving.

“The last place that the lamp’s soul pointed to was Green Cliff Mountain.”

“What are your thoughts on that?”
