Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 14

These individuals were rogue cultivators, their aura reeking of frequent banditry – clearly seasoned in such nefarious deeds!

In the cultivation world, experts rarely revealed their names or indulged in lengthy banter.

Murder and plunder amidst desolate lands was the brutal reality.

Once intent to kill surfaced,

Liu Shunyi would hold nothing back.

Just like with these assailants before him.

Their figures intertwined as they swiftly surrounded Liu Shunyi.

However, something peculiar happened.

As Liu Shunyi unleashed his full magical power,

“Buzz~”

An overwhelming presence filled the area.

Everything around him seemed to freeze.

Even the movements of his attackers drastically slowed down.

Liu Shunyi could distinctly see droplets of water suspended in the air.

“This isn’t freezing time; it’s my speed being so immense that they appear slow!”

He was astonished by his newfound strength.

“Boom~”

A thunderous explosion echoed.

Lightning rapidly danced among the group.

As the tears dissipated,

Liu Shunyi’s figure appeared behind the assailants.

With his back to them, Liu Shunyi sheathed his sword.

Then, he continued striding towards Qinglian Sect without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the bodies of those who attempted to ambush him instantly shattered into multiple pieces!

A swift and brutal execution.

The scene was gruesomely bloody.

Not long after,

Liu Shunyi once again hastily resumed his journey.

“Ah, my moment of coolness lasted less than three seconds!”

Glancing at the scattered limbs on the ground, Liu Shunyi hurriedly searched through their Storage Bags.

Impressive haul indeed.

Just from these few attackers, Liu Shunyi acquired nearly three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

Alongside various medicinal herbs,

He even found some Poison Pills.

Unfortunately,

No Cultivation Techniques were present.

What a pity.

Having completed his search, Liu Shunyi turned and swiftly departed, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

Indeed,

In the cultivation world,

Murder and plunder

remain the quickest ways to amass wealth.

However, it was regrettable that this group’s cultivation bases were exceedingly low.

The highest among them was merely Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

Now, he didn’t even qualify for the Grand Dao Golden Book selection process.

With a resigned shake of his head, Liu Shunyi hurried back to Qinglian Sect.

Unbeknownst to him, high above in the sky,

Ji Suying and the little loli had observed Liu Shunyi’s entire encounter from start to finish.

The little loli appeared stunned.

“Sis, the power he displayed just now is genuinely unsettling!”

Ji Suying smiled.

“Being able to cultivate both the Wild Thunder Scripture and the Thunder Rush Sword makes him extraordinary. With their complementary effects, it’s not surprising that he could face a Cultivator at Qi Refining Twelve Layer!”

The little loli huffed.

“It’s just Qi Refining, anyway; I’m almost reaching Foundation Establishment!”

Ji Suying chuckled and shook her head.

Little did she expect, while secretly observing Chen Nian, she would stumble upon such a pleasant surprise – something that could instill a sense of urgency in her younger sister.

Indeed, it served as a wake-up call.

Despite lacking resources and innate talent, this servant disciple had diligently cultivated to his current level.

On the other hand, the Ji Family possessed everything they desired, with Ji Mingyue herself endowed with exceptional Spirit Root talents – far surpassing Liu Shunyi’s abilities.

If she couldn’t even match a mere servant,

she might as well give up on the cultivation world; it would be too humiliating.

However, Ji Mingyue refused to concede defeat.

“Practicing the Frenzy Thunder Scripture inflicts significant harm on one’s body and damages their foundation…”

Ji Suying raised her hand to interrupt.

“He has an exceptionally solid foundation. His physical realm is actually at Body Refinement Eighth Layer, no wait, now it’s Ninth!”

“In other words, during those battles, he used less than one-tenth of his true strength!”

Ji Mingyue fell silent.

Meanwhile, Ji Suying looked at her sister with a mischievous grin.

Feeling speechless, Ji Mingyue asked, “Sis, did you do that intentionally?”

Ji Suying nodded affirmatively.

“Yes, I did.”

Ji Mingyue was left momentarily stunned.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Liu Shunyi continued performing tasks as a servant disciple, keeping a low profile and avoiding any attention.

Within Liu Shunyi’s mindset, within the cultivation world, it was best to conceal one’s abilities whenever possible.

Of course, during these three days, Liu Shunyi wasn’t idle. He secretly investigated who Chen Beiping truly was.

The reason for this investigation stemmed from Cui Hao’s death, which seemed peculiar. Liu Shunyi had witnessed with his own eyes how Chen Beiping’s name appeared on the same page as Cui Hao’s in the Grand Dao Golden Book, eventually displacing Cui Hao’s name.

Soon after, news of Cui Hao’s demise reached him.

Although Chen Beiping’s name was now in the Grand Dao Golden Book, Liu Shunyi wasn’t afraid that Chen Beiping would come seeking revenge or even attempt assassination.

However, if Chen Beiping intended to kill me, I must at least investigate his background, right?

After all, my list of enemies is currently quite short.

Ideally, I should aim to add his entire family to the book.

But upon completing his investigation into Chen Beiping, Liu Shunyi found himself speechless.

“Chen Beiping, once considered a useless member of the Chen Family, suddenly emerged three years ago. His cultivation progress skyrocketed like a rocket, ultimately leading to his acceptance as an Inner Sect disciple by the Qinglian Sect!”

“And Chen Beiping’s closest friend is none other than Qin Shaogong.”

Liu Shunyi’s expression turned incredulous.

“Wow, with such a background and trajectory, could this guy be a Child of Destiny or even a Son of Providence?!”

However, there was a problem.

But wait, that doesn’t make sense.

If he were truly a Child of Destiny or a Son of Providence, his name wouldn’t appear as premium blue, right?

Moreover, is this guy mentally ill?

Qin Shaogong’s death had… well, on the surface, what does it have to do with me?

Why the fuck are you coming after me instead of Zhao Gou?

“Hang on, find Zhao Gou!” Liu Shunyi suddenly considered a possibility.

Perhaps Chen Beiping had already approached Zhao Gou. Given Zhao Gou’s character, he would undoubtedly spill every detail of their encounter.

Considering Zhang Erhu’s demise and now Zhang Junbao, both seemingly targeting Liu Shunyi before meeting untimely ends, it wouldn’t be hard for Chen Beiping to connect these incidents to him.

As for seeking out Cui Hao, Liu Shunyi guessed that Chen Beiping aimed to verify his suspicions.

“Fucking hell, this Chen Beiping isn’t just impulsive; he’s meticulously thorough!” Sweat poured down Liu Shunyi’s face instantly.

He wasn’t afraid of Chen Beiping per se, since they were both listed in the Grand Dao Golden Book. However, Chen Beiping was fucking an Inner Sect disciple!

If Chen Beiping reports this to his master,

I’ll be in grave danger!

“No, no way! Even though he’s marked as blue, the threat he poses is too great!”

Liu Shunyi quickly devised a plan.

Since that was the case,

he needed to exploit this enemy’s potential fully.

With this thought in mind,

Liu Shunyi abandoned his current tasks and decided to practice alchemy.

But what about lacking a pill furnace? Simple solution:

He would use a pot – specifically, his homemade pressure cooker.

As for the alchemy technique,

it was utterly reckless.

And regarding possible explosions,

Liu Shunyi secretly hoped they would be powerful enough to kill him outright.

Having made up his mind,

Liu Shunyi began following the basic steps of alchemy.

He hastily threw spirit herbs and medicines into the pot,

followed by intense heat and simmering.

Finally, he sealed it with the lid.

Then, Liu Shunyi sat cross-legged next to the pressure cooker,

continuously muttering under his breath,

“Explode, explode, explode!”
