494: enemies

“Therefore, it wasn't I who killed him; I merely acted as an enforcer.”

As soon as he uttered this, Yao Yue immediately shot him a glare.

However, she didn't say much more.

Otherwise, it would just be her playful remark.

If this Young Master hadn't harbored any disrespectful intentions,

He truly wouldn't have met such a murderous end.

But the clever thing about The Mortal World is precisely this: many coincidental events are destined to lead to the end of a life.

In fact, Wang Dong's statement was not wrong.

Even if he were to live again, this Young Master would still die at this point in time.

Everything actually follows a certain law.

Even Wang Dong, who could travel against the flow of the River of Time,

Still couldn't change everything.

Otherwise, his future self would certainly have been able to go against ancient history and find his present self.

He would have elevated himself to a higher Realm in one step, or told himself about his future path.

Wang Dong didn't think his future self couldn't achieve it.

His future self would definitely be more powerful than he was now.

But when this matter didn't happen,

Wang Dong actually understood many principles.

Of course, this Dao is also permeated throughout the Myriad Manifestations Great Dao.

These were all Wang Dong's insights into the Dao.

When Yao Yue one day comprehends the mysteries within,

Perhaps her cultivation will advance further.

Even if she cannot Breakthrough the Nine Heavens limit of the Emperor Realm,

The increase in battle power and the elevation of her Dao will surely be astonishing.

After a brief period of playful banter,

The two decided to find another place to live.

Someone had already died here, and more trouble was sure to arise later.

Wang Dong was not a person who liked trouble.

Yao Yue also liked peace.

The two of them came out this time just to live their own obscure lives, to experience the simple existence of Mortals, rising with the sun and resting with its setting.

Simply put, the two supreme beings had lived too well and wanted to experience some hardship.

The two decided to move.

Meanwhile, in the nearby Cangnan City.

An old man, looking like a wealthy merchant,

Had already erupted in anger.

He slammed his palm onto the table.

Instantly, teacups flew, and tea splattered everywhere.

“What did you say? My son's soul lamp, kept in the Family, shattered?”

At this moment, an astonishing aura burst forth from the wealthy merchant.

This was clearly also a powerful individual.

Yet, no one in the entire city knew he was a powerful individual.

Even his son, who had died, didn't know that his own father was also an extremely astonishing powerful individual.

Moreover, his cultivation was not low; the rich Saintly might on his body shook the entire city in that instant.

In an instant, countless Mortals looked up, and the Cultivators hidden among them all looked on in horror.

This is a Saint?

A Saint who achieved Sainthood in the Age of Dharma Decline.

Or was he a Loose Cultivator, as no one seemed to know his origins.

At the same time, many Holy Lands in the vicinity also felt the aura of this Saint at this moment.

In an instant, many people rushed towards this location.

Some wanted to know if he harbored hostility.

Others wanted to recruit him into their ranks.

However, the common decision they all made was to first meet this being.

If he had any requests that needed to be fulfilled, they wouldn't mind doing him a favor.

One must know that a Saint in this era could truly be unrivaled in the world.

Of course, most of those with the strength to rush over were Sects with Saints presiding over them.

It was only in these years, with no more Dark Turmoil in The Mortal World, that Saints became more numerous.

If it were in the past, every Saint would be extremely rare throughout the entire Universe.

Now, in just this nearby region, there were several Saints accumulated over long years.

The wealthy merchant old man also sensed the approach of these people, but he paid no attention whatsoever.

His profound aura instantly surged skyward.

The astonishing Saintly might shook the heavens and earth.

He instantly arrived at the small fishing village where Wang Dong and Yao Yue had lived.

He casually grabbed the head of a village woman.

And immediately began soul-searching.

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

His eyes were a bloody mess.

“What a wretch!”

His figure instantly vanished, and he directly arrived at the two's previous residence.

Only, the place was now empty.

On the ground was a headless corpse.

The rest of the people had long since turned into thick blood mist, and the smell of blood in the air was extremely strong.

Instantly, an astonishing aura burst forth from the wealthy merchant old man.

That surge of rage was almost impossible to conceal.

“I will definitely kill you and flay your skin and pull out your tendons.”

As soon as these words fell, several people immediately walked over.

Their auras were restrained but equally astonishing.

Carrying an astonishing pressure.

“Who do I see? It's Black Mountain Old Ghost. Why are you so angry here?”

One of the white-robed men in a long gown said with a chuckle.

He carried a long sword on his back, clearly a swordsman.

An incredibly sharp aura emanated from the long sword.

As if a single strike could shatter mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.

Black Mountain Old Ghost sneered upon hearing this.

“My son died here, are you not going to give me an explanation?”

Upon hearing this, the few people were stunned.

Black Mountain Old Ghost had a son whom he doted on immensely.

He even left all Sects and severed all past grievances specifically for his son's peaceful growth.

He even went into hiding under an assumed name for this, often living in one place for a period before moving to another.

And now he appeared here.

To others, they had thought he was just living in seclusion, wanting to find a better place to live with his son.

They never expected to now hear that Black Mountain Old Ghost's son had died.

Their expressions instantly became solemn.

This matter was serious trouble.

The son of a Saint.

Especially Black Mountain Old Ghost, who had a child late in life and doted on him to the bone.

He had no other regrets in this life, and he was also a powerful individual in the Saint Realm.

If he truly went mad, the few mountain gates nearby might not be able to withstand it.

Thinking of this, the swordsman immediately said with a solemn expression.

“Black Mountain Old Ghost, there's no need to rush. We will help you search.”

“But there's one condition: if any of us helps you find the murderer, you must join that faction's power, how about it?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present's eyes lit up.

They didn't care about Black Mountain Old Ghost's son.

Their willingness to help Black Mountain Old Ghost was only out of fear that Black Mountain Old Ghost would go mad nearby.

If Black Mountain Old Ghost could join their ranks, an entire Saint Realm powerful individual would be added.

This would be of great help in confronting other Sects.

Thinking of this, everyone scrambled to speak.

For a moment, Black Mountain Old Ghost also reacted.

Then, he revealed a cold sneer.

“Good, I can join you, but you must help me get revenge.”

Black Mountain Old Ghost was meticulous; he could sense that this wretched couple should also not be simple.
