Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 126

Liu Shunyi displayed no concern for the unknown entity he had casually dispatched.

Now, all the names on the Grand Dao Golden Book were uniformly golden. Any green names, Liu Shunyi dismissed without a glance; they merely took up unnecessary space.

However, one thing puzzled him. Having just arrived in the Inner City, how had he attracted attention so quickly? Was it accidental or intentional?

After some thought, Liu Shunyi shook his head. Regardless of the reason, it mattered little to him.

Feigning nonchalance, he joined Zhao Gou and the others for another meal. Although as Nascent Soul Cultivators they technically didn’t need food, the offerings here were unique. The ingredients consisted of exceptionally high-quality spirit herbs and medicines. The meat’s texture, combined with its dense spiritual energy, made these dishes truly irresistible. After consuming them, Liu Shunyi could distinctly feel his body gradually growing stronger, and his Qi and blood became significantly more abundant. This astonished him, given the already formidable strength of his physique due to his cultivation practices.

Due to his cultivation of the Imperishable Primordial Scripture, coupled with its integration of the Frenzy Thunder Scripture, Liu Shunyi’s physical strength had reached a terrifyingly formidable level. Yet, despite this, consuming these dishes still managed to enhance his Qi and blood.

Zhao Gou was equally astonished. Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou exchanged glances before ordering another full table of food. They indulged themselves, eating from dawn till dusk. By the time they left the restaurant at night, both of their stomachs were bloated.

“What an incredible place!” Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but nod, a toothpick dangling from his mouth. However, as he scanned their surroundings, he chuckled, “As expected, wherever there are people, there is a Jianghu!”

Zhao Gou also looked around, then a peculiar expression crossed his face. “The eyes of those people seem to be fixed on you!”

Liu Shunyi furrowed his brow in agreement. “You’re right. Let’s move somewhere less crowded!”

Zhao Gou nodded, and they headed towards a more secluded area. Just as they departed, several figures emerged from the shadows, swiftly following them.

Shortly thereafter, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou reached a wooded area. As soon as they stopped, more than a dozen individuals surrounded them. Among them, a masked man stepped forward, staring directly at Liu Shunyi.

“You, how did you kill Second Mother?” he demanded aggressively.

Initially puzzled, Liu Shunyi suddenly recalled the green name from that morning’s Grand Dao Golden Book entry. Smiling, he asked, “You really want to know?”

The masked man remained silent, his gaze fixed intensely on Liu Shunyi. Still smiling, Liu Shunyi replied, “Then let me explain it properly.”

With those words, a sword appeared in Liu Shunyi’s hand. He swiftly unsheathed and resheathed the blade in a blink of an eye. In that fleeting moment, the group surrounding them exploded instantly.

This display caused the masked man’s pupils to constrict sharply. Not just him, even Zhao Gou’s eyes widened with astonishment. Unable to resist, Zhao Gou sound-transmitted, “How did you do that?”

Liu Shunyi responded, “Practice makes perfect!”

Zhao Gou was speechless; based on his knowledge of Liu Shunyi, he couldn’t believe it. In truth, Liu Shunyi himself wasn’t capable of such rapid sword strikes. However, with the Lament Sword igniting both his physical body and divine soul, such speed was indeed achievable. These “trash greens” were no match for Liu Shunyi’s use of the Lament Sword; their inevitable defeat would be explosive.

The masked man now realized that he could not contend with the opponent before him. Without hesitation, he turned to flee. Unfortunately for him, luck was not on his side. In this realm, neither Liu Shunyi nor Zhao Gou faced any restrictions on their cultivation bases or abilities. To Liu Shunyi, the masked man was merely akin to a tiny ant. An ant daring to escape from a Nascent Soul Cultivator? What kind of logic was that?

With just a single thought, Liu Shunyi effortlessly drew the masked man towards him through the air. As the masked man reappeared in front of Liu Shunyi, particularly upon seeing Liu Shunyi’s harmless-looking face, fear overwhelmed him completely.

“You-you-you can’t kill me! I’m from the Nangong Family!” he stammered. “Offend our family, and I guarantee your journey will become unbearably difficult!”

Liu Shunyi furrowed his brow. “From what you’re saying, it seems you know who I am?”

The masked man nodded. “You’re a foreigner!”

Liu Shunyi acknowledged with another nod. “You’re correct. Judging by your reaction, it seems this isn’t your first encounter with outsiders like me. Moreover, based on your words, you even appear to know why I’ve come here!” The masked man nodded.

Liu Shunyi didn’t rush to kill him immediately. Quite conveniently, he was in need of a guide, and this individual had willingly presented themselves. “Alright, sparing your life is quite simple. Just tell me what’s going on here and why you wanted to attack me!”

The masked man hesitated momentarily. Seeing his reluctance, Liu Shunyi reassured him, “Don’t worry, I always keep my word. As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I won’t harm you!”

The masked man studied Liu Shunyi’s resolute gaze, realizing he wasn’t joking. He nodded. “Fine!”

Subsequently, the masked man revealed the purpose of their mission. Surprisingly, they hadn’t specifically targeted Liu Shunyi; his demise would have been merely incidental. Their primary objective was Zhao Gou. An outsider had formed an alliance with the Nangong Family, prompting them to assist in eliminating certain individuals. They were assisting their partner in eliminating someone they desired to remove.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou’s face turned ashen. He immediately knew who wanted him dead – the people from the Heaven Wrath Temple. “Those from the Heaven Wrath Temple are truly like stubborn leeches, utterly detestable!” Zhao Gou grimaced.

The masked man was taken aback. “So quickly, you’ve guessed our collaborator?”

Liu Shunyi smiled. “It’s simple. Other than the Heaven Wrath Temple, no one else would dare harbor such intentions against him!”

The masked man fell silent for a moment. “Well, now that I’ve revealed what you wanted to know, can we expect you to fulfill your promise?”

Liu Shunyi nodded. “Indeed, I did say I wouldn’t kill you!” With those words, Zhao Gou swiftly flicked his hand. A dagger embedded itself in the masked man’s head.

“I never said I wouldn’t kill you!” Zhao Gou’s expression was icy cold. Even after dispatching the assailant, Zhao Gou remained furious.

“brother Liu !”

“Hmm?” responded Liu Shunyi.

“Why don’t we just go and wipe out this Nangong Family once and for all?!”

Liu Shunyi looked at him, puzzled.
