“Since you say that the idea is excellent, let’s begin!” The parrot did not hesitate anymore.
This ghost-like fellow wanted to eat someone the moment he spoke. It was a no-brainer that he was not a good person. Since they had no intentions of treating him, they would whip him, they just needed him to wake up!
With a consensus of opinions, they acted right away. Unable to find a leather whip, they got themselves a willow twig that was as thick as a human’s thumb.
The parrot and the tortoise had no hands, so it wasn’t too convenient for them to hold the twig. Big Black came to the front and clamped the twig using the cloves of its hoof. Then, it inhaled deeply and swung ruthlessly towards the ‘body’ lying on the ground.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
It used great strength, every strike was like a slash from a knife and a chisel from an ax. The whip left deep marks on the Nirvana Demon King’s body.
Seven to eight consecutive hits landed and the Nirvana Demon King looked as if he had been sliced with the same amount of hits that he sustained. The hideous wounds made the Nirvana Demon King look as if he was about to be turned into mincemeat.
“Why is he not awake yet?” The parrot asked.
“Probably because the atmosphere isn’t right…”
The donkey scratched its head with its other hoof and carefully recalled the scene that it experienced back then. With anger in its eyes, it scolded, “Quickly get up to pull the mill, stop f*cking pretending to be dead!
“You idi*t!
“You eat a lot when it’s time to eat, but you become useless at the crucial moments! If you won’t get up, I’ll beat you to death!”
“???”
The Nirvana Demon King who was in a deep coma was dumbstruck.
What was going on?
Where am I? Who am I? What am I doing?
…
Inside a quiet room in the Immortal Guardian Sect. Two youths sat across each other.
“You mean to say… Liu Yi might be a spy sent by the other sects?”
Brows furrowed, Liu Chang was in disbelief.
“Brother Liu has the chance of becoming an elder’s direct disciple, you must be more well-informed than I am. You should have more or less heard about the sect’s situation!” Zhou Yuan said with a solemn look.
Liu Chang nodded.
The news regarding the demise of the Sect Leader and the others had spread in a small circle amidst the disciples.
Given his exceptional talent, it was not surprising that he knew some inside information.
“Considering our current situation, there must be a lot of people with other ideas in their minds!”
Zhou Yuan said, “This Liu Yi didn’t have a lot of achievements for three years after he joined the sect. Yet, in a day’s time… Not only did his cultivation level climb three classes continuously, but his comprehension of the Sword Dao even reached the Seventh Stance…
“Do you think that this is normal?”
Liu Chang was stunned.
This was indeed unusual.
Setting himself aside, even the few most talented freaks among their peers would not be able to do what Liu Yi had achieved.
“I believe that he is either a spy of the other sects and he faked his lack of talent for the sake of his cover, Or the other sects gave him a lot of benefits…
“And that is the reason why he was able to make so many breakthroughs in one fell swoop.” Zhou Yuan shared his opinion.
“This…” Liu Chang went silent.
The sect was in the middle of a crisis. It was indeed easy for those with bad intentions to jump into the fray. If their guesses were real, and Liu Yi truly was a spy of the other sects. The Immortal Guardian Sect would certainly reward him well for personally catching the spy.
Perhaps… his identity as an elder’s disciple could then be attained. At this thought, he could not help but look over to Zhou Yuan. “Then, what do you think we should do now?”
“Simple. We will quietly tail Liu Yi. We’re going to look for evidence of him betraying the sect. and then we’ll go and expose him at the Hall of the Elders when the time comes!” Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed.
“All right!” Liu Chang nodded.
The two stealthily came to Liu Yi’s lodging, and they saw that Liu Yi who used to be the worst performer in the sect was still practicing his sword. In the middle of the night, his arm that held the sword trembled non-stop in the air, similar to a bird’s wings.
“This isn’t the 36 Stances of the Immortal Guardian! Neither are they sword moves of the Immortal Guardian Sect…” Liu Chang’s eyes narrowed.
All the disciples of the sect that had yet to reach the Mortal Separation Realm practiced the 36 Stances of the Immortal Guardian. Yet, this fellow actually switched to practicing other swords moves.
It was obvious that he had a different backer other than the Immortal Guardian Sect.
He was indeed a spy!
Hu!
While the two were dumbstruck, Liu Yiyi who wasn’t far out furrowed his eyebrows together.
He seemed to have thought of something as he muttered to himself. “Fighting against Liu Chang and Zhou Yuan allowed me to make a big improvement, but there’s still one point that I don’t understand…
“Not a good bird!”
It was impossible that Teacher would talk gibberish for no rhyme or reason. Since he had said the words, ‘not a good bird’, there must be a purpose behind it. Just like his comments of wings moving. I managed to grasp profound sword moves by following such a method.
Since that was the case, what do those four words mean?
“He seems to be cursing us?”
“It seems so…”
Liu Chang and Zhou Yuan were so enraged that their faces went red from anger.
Yes, he had defeated them.
But to say that they weren’t good birds behind their backs was… going too far!
“Cultivating a sword technique that doesn’t belong to Immortal Guardian Sect has already confirmed him as a spy. Shall we go report him right now…” After the rage, Zhou Yuan suggested.
“No rush, it’s just a sword technique. This isn’t enough evidence. Let’s wait a little longer. If he really is a spy, then he will definitely contact his comrades from the other sects. We’ll go and catch him in action, and by then. He won’t be able to defend himself.”
Liu Chang’s eyes narrowed.
Being mocked behind their backs like this had already crossed Liu Chang’s bottom line. No matter how exhausting or difficult it would be, he was going to find evidence that would implicate the other party and bring him to justice.
…
The Nirvana Demon King who looked like a child slowly woke up.
As the Demon King that had once dominated the world, even though he could not be reborn from a single drop of blood. He could still be resuscitated from the most severe wounds. Even if his head was chopped off, he could still be revived.
If not for this strange attribute, how else would the countless powerhouses that fought him back then felt so helpless against him that they could only seal him away instead of killing him?
“What happened?”.
When he woke up, his nerves were immediately assaulted with pain that sought to tear his spirit apart.
His divine consciousness spread out, and the scene he saw almost sent him back into a coma.
I’m already like this, yet they are still beating me up with my butt sticking up into the air…
Is this humane?
His tears were about to flow, the Nirvana Demon King wanted to cry.
According to my previous guesses…
Shouldn’t these three be serving me right now the moment they saw the dragon meat?
Why did they attack me without another word? Most importantly, I’m already about to die, yet they’re still whipping me so hard… Is it really that fun to flog a corpse?
When facing that ordinary man, these fellows addressed him as ‘Master’ with excited looks on their faces.
I also gave them food, but why am I taking a beating?
The difference in treatment is too great!
I am the Demon King that everyone fears and respects, why can’t I compare to an ordinary man?
I’m not willing!
The Nirvana Demon King gnashed his teeth as he slowly opened his eyes. He thought that if he didn’t open his eyes today, he might not be able to see the next day’s daylight.
“Big Black, he seems to have woken up…”
A languid voice sounded by his ear.
“It really worked!” The parrot supported its mouth with its wing and it nodded inwardly.
In the beginning, the parrot thought that flogging wasn’t really working.
But now, the result seemed pretty good.
The parrot now had another method to save someone in the future.
“You’ll do the questioning!”
The donkey similarly let out a sigh of relief. It stopped the messy whipping and took a step back.
This fellow was too dangerous, it was better to stay away from him.
“Mm!”
Flapping its wings, the parrot came to the front and looked at the Nirvana Demon King lying on the ground who no longer had an appearance that resembled a human being.
Then, it asked, “You better answer anything that I ask you. Otherwise, I will get Big Black to continue whipping you! We’ll whip until you answer us!”
“Yes!” The Nirvana Demon King was filled with misery.
In his few thousand years of domination, he had never been so helpless.
He thought that even if he was in such a situation, he would be facing those top powerhouses of the Great Qian Prefecture and Great Source Prefecture.
He never would’ve thought that he would be facing a donkey, a tortoise, and a parrot!
“That mudskipper that you brought here previously, where did you catch it from?” The parrot asked.
“Mudskipper?”
The Nirvana Demon King faltered, his skin quivered.
You people call the Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm a mudskipper? It’s a f*cking dragon!
Um, but, it makes sense too…
Everything speaks with their capabilities. The dragon race was superior in the eyes of others, but to the true powerhouses, it would be nothing to call them mudskippers.
Further, the Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm wasn’t a pure-blooded dragon.
It was a mixed-blood one.
It seems that on top of being powerful, these three beasts also had exceptionally noble bloodlines.
Otherwise, it was impossible for them to make such a comment so naturally.
In an instant, the three pets became even bigger and loftier in his eyes.
