Fantasy: I Receive Critical Chance For Compensation When I Give Away Fateful Encounters - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Nether Demon Temple!

At the sound of this voice, fear flashed in the demon Mystique’s eyes. Although he could not kneel on the ground after losing his lower body, he could still lie there.

“Greetings, Temple Master!”

In the dim forest, a shadowy figure floated in the air, but it was impossible to see what they looked like.

“I’m asking you a question. Where’s the captive I wanted?”

“Temple Master!” Mystique’s entire body was trembling in terror. “It’s not that my subordinates didn’t try their hardest-other people arrived to help the disciples!” He quickly told the Temple Master all about the battle with Su’en.

“A freak who cultivates both sword techniques and body-tempering ones?” The voice in the darkness sounded puzzled. “Could it be that you ran into a prodigy from the Heavenly Domain? Impossible. Prodigies would be at least Spirit Convocation Realm experts, not an early-stage Golden Core Realm expert. Unless the Heavenly Domain has a new genius among their ranks.”

Not daring to make a sound, Mystique could only lie on the ground with his head lowered and wait for the Temple Master’s orders.

“Gu Chuyao is the daughter of the Second Elder of the Purple Star Sect. She’s just one step away from becoming the Heaven Lord. If we can kill her, it will deal a heavy blow to the future of the Heavenly Domain! It’s a pity, how long we’ve readied ourselves for this mission. The Nether Demon Temple was prepared to be exposed to help you stop Gu Chuyao’s guardian from interfering.” The voice was cold and emotionless.

“It’s my subordinates who are incompetent. I am yours to punish, Temple Master!”

“Forget it. You weren’t the first choice to carry out this mission to begin with. If not for the fact that there were no other options… ah, well.” The Temple Master’s words trailed off into a sigh.

On the ground, Mystique wiped the sweat from his forehead. Under normal circumstances, to assassinate a prodigy like Gu Chuyao, one needed to be at least a Spirit Convocation Realm expert. However, the Heaven Domain had been cracking down on the Nether Demon Temple in recent years, and many demons had been captured and killed. Even now, the temple’s operations were still compromised, leaving it to Mystique to carry out the mission.

“After this incident, the Heavenly Domain will be investigating us even more closely. Go back and take some time to recover. Don’t let them discover who you are!”

With that, the dark figure vanished. Only then did Mystique allow himself to breathe. When the Temple Master appeared, he had thought he was doomed. After failing such an important mission, even if he wasn’t killed, he would be punished severely! But the Temple Master hadn’t intended to punish him after all-a massive relief.

“Someone else from the Nether Demon Temple must have been arrested recently!” Swallowing, Mystique made a wild guess; it was the only reason he could think of. Otherwise, he would be dead by now! But at the same time, his hatred for Sunn only intensified.

The first thing on his mind was to wait for his injuries to recover, and be fully prepared before finding that brat again and tearing him

apart!

After a day traveling on the Purple Star Sect’s cloud shuttle, Su’en was back in the Heavenly Domain.

Originally, with the speed of the cloud shuttle, they would have reached their destination in about half a day. But stopping at a couple of cities in between had wasted some time; the journey wouldn’t have been so slow otherwise. He recalled that Gu Chuyao had called for a break when they passed by one of the big cities. Su’en wondered if she had done it on purpose.

“Senior Su, I think it’s fair to say we’re friends now. If I come looking for you in the future, you won’t turn me away, will you?” Gu Chuyao shouted from the cloud shuttle.

“Of course not!” Su’en replied with a smile after getting off the cloud shuttle. After spending a day together, he had gotten a better understanding of Gu Chuyao’s character. In essence, she was a very simple person, whose thoughts weren’t hard to read: if someone was nice to her, she would be nice to them. Of course, if anyone got on her bad side, it wouldn’t end well for them-but who would dare to provoke the daughter of an elder?

After turning around, Su’en flew toward the Dao Sect.

“I wonder if Ye Lingyun and Chen Ziling are back yet?” In between Su’en’s contemplation, his True Qi kept flowing.

“Greetings, Senior!”

When Su’en landed in the Daoist Square, a few disciples who were studying cultivation techniques noticed him, their eyes lighting up. They all leaned in closely. Although Su’en was not yet the Sect Master, to the rest of the disciples, he was no different from one.

“Has Senior Ye returned yet?” Su’en asked.

The disciple thought for a moment before answering. “She came back this morning with a new disciple. I think her name is Chen Ziling.”

“I see. Good. Continue cultivating!” After receiving an answer, Su’en patted the disciple on the shoulder and left.

“Has Senior become stronger again?” a disciple asked suddenly.

“Although Senior looks as easygoing as ever, why do I always feel pressure coming from him?”

“You feel it too? So do I!”

The other disciples nodded in agreement.

“Isn’t it a good thing to be stronger?” said the disciple whom Su’en had patted on the shoulder. “The Heavenly Domain Ceremony is coming soon. With Senior, who knows, the Dao Sect’s ranking might increase a little this time. In the future, if we encounter disciples from other sects in the Heavenly Domain, we won’t be looked down upon!”

“Exactly!”

Su’en had no idea that he had become the subject of discussion amongst the other disciples after leaving. At this moment, he had already arrived at Ye Lingyun’s courtyard.

“Senior!”

Chen Ziling was swinging her legs on a branch of an ancient tree in the courtyard. Excitement filled her eyes when she saw Su’en, and she jumped down and ran over to him.

“How are you? Have you gotten used to living here?” Su’en asked with a smile.

“Yes, the spiritual energy here is very rich and soothing!” Chen Ziling replied obediently.

Her reply surprised Sulen. Put bluntly, the spiritual energy in the Dao Sect was considered scarce compared to the rest of the Heavenly Domain. However, this was Chen Ziling’s first time entering the Heavenly Domain, so it was expected that she would consider it a substantial change. If she had visited one of the high-level sects, she might change her mind about the Dao Sect’s supposedly dense spiritual energy.

After a moment of calculation, Su’en asked, “Good to know you’re adapting well. Where’s your senior?”

“Senior Ye waited for a while after coming here with me this morning. When she realized that you hadn’t returned, she told me to stay here as she went out to look for you!” Chen Ziling answered honestly.
