Chapter 592 Crying
Linglong glanced at her father, then burst into tears, sobbing, "Father..."
Bald Eagle frowned, quickly crouched down, and extended a finger to feel Kuai Zhengliang's neck. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Linglong, what exactly happened? Zhengliang, he..."
“Father…” Linglong cried out, “Zhengliang… he’s dead.”
Bald Eagle knew that his son-in-law had no vital signs and there was nothing that could save him. He asked urgently, "Linglong, what happened? Tell me quickly! Why would Zhengliang suddenly become like this?"
Linglong wiped away her tears and said fiercely, "It was Tianyue, it was Tianyue who killed Zhengliang."
Upon hearing this, the vulture asked in surprise, "Didn't you poison him to death?"
“He’s not dead,” Linglong said indignantly. “He’s still alive. He’s the one who killed Zhengliang. Father, you must avenge Zhengliang!”
The vulture frowned and asked, "Where is he now?"
“It’s right in the city,” Linglong replied.
Bald Eagle stood up and said to the disciple, "Junbao, go to Mangshan immediately and inform the Moon Goddess of this matter."
The disciple named Junbao asked in confusion, "Master, isn't the Moon Goddess on Moon Goddess Island?"
The vulture shook his head solemnly, then said, "The Moon Goddess is in seclusion in Mangshan. Go there quickly."
Junbao bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
As he spoke, the man transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the hall.
“Linglong,” the vulture asked, “where did you see this person?”
“He went into the city from the south,” Linglong replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, the vulture disappeared from the spot. Linglong suddenly remembered what Chao Bufan had said earlier, her heart tightened, she quickly put down her husband in her arms, and then chased after him.
Over here, Chao Bufan and Seventh Master walked one after the other on the street, ignoring the people coming and going, and the two chatted happily.
“Bufan, don’t you think there’s something unusual about this place?” Seventh Master said. “Look at these people, they’re all either old, weak, sick, or pregnant women. There’s not a single strong man in sight.”
Chao Bufan said, "I heard from my second senior brother that ever since the Moon Goddess became the leader of the martial arts alliance, strong men have been mysteriously disappearing everywhere every day."
"So, those missing able-bodied men are related to the Moon Goddess?" Seventh Master asked.
“That goes without saying,” Chao Bufan said. “Moon God Island is the leader of the demonic path. People in the demonic path have always regarded the common people as worthless and killed people without batting an eye.”
"You mean, these people have already been killed?" Seventh Master asked.
“It’s a near-death experience!” Chao Bufan said. “I’ve heard my father say before that there is a martial art in the demonic path called the ‘Blood Demon Heart Sutra,’ which is extremely domineering. However, when practicing this martial art, one needs human blood as a catalyst. I estimate that those missing strong men were captured by the Moon Goddess and used as tools for cultivation.”
"I've seen my senior brother collect the resentment and yin energy of the dead to cultivate witchcraft, but I've never seen anyone use the blood of the living as a catalyst to cultivate demonic arts. There are such vicious martial arts in the world. The world is truly full of wonders!" Seventh Master shook his head and said.
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "What's so special about that? There are many things you haven't seen! When I was a child, I saw the phenomenon of cannibalism in the Demonic Sect. They ate living people and didn't even spit out the bones."
"No way? They actually eat living people?" Seventh Master exclaimed in surprise. "Doesn't the righteous sects just stand by and let them run rampant?"
Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile and said, "When my father was alive, the demonic path was still somewhat wary of him. But after my father died, the righteous path fell apart. They were too busy trying to save their own lives to care about anything else."
"Alas~" Seventh Master sighed and said, "Truly, Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; even sages are ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs!"
Chao Bufan said calmly, "Nothing in this world is absolute; it's all about having the will. Nowadays, people can't distinguish between good and evil. They only know how to scheme against each other, pursue profit, and even engage in deceit, murder, and conflict. This is why they have to suffer the consequences of their own actions, and they can't blame others."
His tone was flat, but his short words conveyed the coldness and indifference of real society, and also revealed a sense of helpless vicissitude.
Seventh Master sighed softly and asked, "Bufan, what do you plan to do?"
Chao Bufan said, "I am not their living bodhisattva, nor their savior, nor am I some kind of pushover. I am in the past now, and the past is already set in stone, so there's nothing I can do about it. Justice resides in the hearts of the people. I am only avenging my father; as for the rest, someone will stand up to uphold justice."
Upon hearing this, Seventh Master nodded, but suddenly he and Chao Bufan looked up at the sky ahead at the same time. They saw a beam of light coming from ahead, which appeared in front of them in an instant. At first glance, it was Bald Eagle.
The vulture appeared angrily in front of Chao Bufan and Seventh Master. After looking Chao Bufan over, it said coldly, "Kid, you really are not dead."
"What, are you surprised?" Chao Bufan asked with a smile.
Bald Eagle said, "It's quite surprising that you didn't die after drinking the 'Death Powder.' You're lucky to be alive."
Chao Bufan shrugged and said, "I've always been a lucky person."
The vulture nodded in agreement. After all, this kid was probably the first and only person in history to have survived drinking the most potent poison in the world.
“Vulture,” Chao Bufan continued, “you actually used your daughter Linglong to harm me. You’re a father for nothing.”
The vulture laughed, "That's because you're a toad trying to eat swan meat. I'm just following the will of Heaven!"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan found it somewhat laughable and said, "But fate often plays tricks on people. Heaven has been kind to me and spared my life."
“Boy, since God has been kind to you, you should have gone into hiding and lived a carefree life,” said Bald Eagle. “It’s a pity you didn’t seize the opportunity and insisted on driving yourself to your death. Do you know that Linglong’s husband, Kuai Zhenliang, is the beloved son of the Moon Goddess? Now that you have killed him, do you think the Moon Goddess will let you go?”
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Since I dared to kill him, I naturally have no fear of that damned Moon Goddess. You killed my father, and I'm here to settle accounts with you!"
"So you killed Kuai Zhenliang," Bald Eagle said.
“That’s right,” Chao Bufan said. “He was just unlucky to run into me, so I went along with fate and killed him first, so he would be the first to go to hell and kowtow to my father. Now you’re walking into the line of fire again, which saves me the trouble of looking for you.”
Upon hearing this, Bald Eagle sneered and said, "Kid, you've got quite the nerve! I'll take your life today. Remember that, don't be so impulsive in your next life."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Linglong appeared beside her father. She glared fiercely at Chao Bufan and said angrily, "Father, you must avenge Zhengliang!"
