No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Do You Know What Happened Twenty Years Ago?

If it wasn’t for the fact that Da Xu was in such great agony while being burnt, Daoist Tai Hua honestly intended to have a good talk with the bunch of people.

After all, he felt that they could rob him for all he cared, but they shouldn’t cook up stories or twist the facts and lie.

That was the principle of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

However, since Da Xu was in someone else’s sect, he had to bow down and obey.

“Twenty years ago, you saved an orphan, but do you know his identity and background?”

The other party’s tone was calm as he stood with his hands by his side while staring at Daoist Tai Hua.

“Changyu’s identity?”

Daoist Tai Hua frowned slightly with a sullen expression.

*sizzles*

In the next moment, Da Xu shrieked miserably again.

Daoist Tai Hua immediately spoke up.

“You mean Ye Ping’s background?”

Daoist Tai Hua asked.

“Yes, do you know who Ye Ping is?”

The other party asked coldly.

“Who is it?”

Daoist Tai Hua was obviously curious.

“Hmph, quit feigning ignorance, you’re obviously aware.”

The other party questioned coldly.

“I don’t know.”

Daoist Tai Hua shook his head.

*sizzles*

Da Xu wailed again.

“Okay, okay, I get it. I get it.”

Daoist Tai Hua was helpless.

However, Da Xu was feeling the most helpless.

Da Xu was confused. ‘What does Ye Ping’s matter have to do with me? It’s not my fault that Daoist Tai Hua made a mistake.’

‘Why am I the one who’s getting beaten up?’

‘Please.’

‘Let me off, I can ask Ye Ping to come here and you guys can talk to him, okay?’

‘Don’t bully me.’

‘Have you got a conscience at all? Do you have morals? You’re bullying a ghost?’

Da Xu was really furious.

He didn’t do anything at all and the matter had nothing to do with him either. Yet, he was the one getting punished.

‘If you want to kill me, just kill me. What are you torturing me for?’

“Since you know who Ye Ping is, you should also know what we are here to do, right?”

The other party said.

“I…”

Daoist Tai Hua was just about to say that he didn’t know, but after seeing Da Xu’s gaze, he ended up nodding.

The latter looked very satisfied. He then took a few steps forward to look at Daoist Tai Hua.

“Your Excellency, you’re a smart man.”

“This matter has nothing to do with you. Hand over your disciple and I will give you a reward. I’ll give you a sum of Spirit Stones that is enough to last you a lifetime.”

“I know it’s hard for you to sever ties with him, but you must know what Ye Ping’s identity is. Do you understand?”

The other party tried to coerce Daoist Tai Hua and tempting him with benefits but his agenda was clear.

He wanted to know where Ye Ping was.

Of course, more importantly, Daoist Tai Hua could lure Ye Ping over.

However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head helplessly.

Although he knew that the other party misunderstood, he did not want to explain. After all, it seemed that they wouldn’t hear his explanation.

Secondly, he wouldn’t harm his disciples, be it Su Changyu or Ye Ping.

Daoist Tai Hua sighed.

Before he could say anything, the latter’s gaze became cold.

“Do you want to be dealt with the hard way?”

As he spoke, the light of the mirror became brighter and Da Xu wailed incessantly.

“Please just kill me.”

Da Xu cried loudly. He would rather die than continue suffering. He was the Ghost King, an evil being, and the light released by the mirror was the light of the golden sun. When shone on him, it was a hundred times as miserable as he would be if he were placed in a furnace.

Ordinary people simply could not tolerate such pain and it was so extreme that Da Xu wailed incessantly.

Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded too.

‘I haven’t said anything yet. I just shook my head and you’re acting like this?’

“Wait a minute.”

Daoist Tai Hua reached his hand out.

“Can I ask a question?”

He took a deep breath and asked.

“Go ahead.”

The latter stopped torturing Da Xu and instead looked at Daoist Tai Hua.

“Who sent you?”

Daoist Tai Hua asked.

“Do you need to know?”

The latter looked at Daoist Tai Hua and replied ambiguously.

“At the very least, I want to know why I’m dying. If I die without knowing the reason, I’ll be indignant.”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

Even a fool knew that if he revealed Su Changyu or Ye Ping’s whereabouts, they definitely wouldn’t let him off.

He had known since ten years ago that in order to get rid of a problem, he had to get rid of the root cause too.

After hearing his words, the latter was silent.

He had thought that Daoist Tai Hua could be deceived easily, but he didn’t expect Daoist Tai Hua to be able to see through their intentions to kill.

However, even so, he did not panic and instead continued to lie.

“As long as you tell us the whereabouts of Ye Ping, I can guarantee that those other disciples of yours will not die even if you have to die. I’ll also give them a sum of Spirit Stones. I’m doing you a favor by helping you settle your relationship with your disciples.”

“You’re not wrong and I don’t want to kill you, but unfortunately, you are involved in this matter, so…”

He continued to lie. After all, he was worried that Daoist Tai Hua might choose to let all of them die together with him instead of telling the truth.

It didn’t matter if Daoist Tai Hua died or not because Ye Ping was the most important.

Hence, he had to stabilize Daoist Tai Hua.

However, Daoist Tai Hua continued to shake his head.

“I just want the answer, I don’t know about everything else.”

For some reason, Daoist Tai Hua’s aura had changed slightly.

The latter was silent.

After pondering about it, he spoke slowly.

“The Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty.”

His answer was quite vague.

The Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty referred to the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it could also refer to the Crown Prince.

However, for Daoist Tai Hua, the answer was enough.

“Sure enough, it has finally come to this.”

Daoist Tai Hua shook his head and sighed deeply

“Enough, where is Ye Ping?”

The other party did not want to continue wasting time and simply coerced Daoist Tai Hua.

However, Daoist Tai Hua remained extremely calm.

“Let me ask you one more thing.”

“Do you know what happened in Qingzhou 20 years ago?”

Daoist Tai Hua asked the man in black calmly.

“What’s the matter?”

The latter frowned slightly, but soon he couldn’t help but ask.

“Twenty years ago, a foreign treasure emerged in Qingzhou and it led to a great fight between two Essence Soul realm cultivators. It eventually led to a huge calamity in Qingzhou.”

Daoist Tai Hua said slowly.

However, in the next moment, the other party’s expression instantly changed, and several Sword Qi appeared around him.

Moreover, an extremely cold voice rang in his ears.

“Remember, you have to be decisive and not long-winded in your next life.”

A voice sounded.

Not far away, a spiritual talisman was ripped off Daoist Tai Hua’s chest.

In the blink of an eye, horrifying spiritual energy spread throughout the entire Qingyun Mountain Range.

“Oh no! He’s an Essence Soul realm powerhouse!”

“No! This is not the Essence Soul realm, it’s the Mahayana realm!”

At the next moment, many people yelled and exclaimed in shock.
