Chapter 2374: That Was a Golden Core…
What happened to Yi Liang’s parents and younger sister weighed heavily on his heart. It was already his inner demon.
It seemed now that Yi Liang’s parents were among these souls.
Could it be that the demonic cultivator who captured Yi Liang’s parents was Yi Shengjie?
The little fox swallowed a candied fruit and then started to cast his illusion.
Yi Shengjie, who was fighting with the qilin made of spiritual energy, saw that there was a golden core in the belly of the qilin.
Yi Shengjie’s heartbeat quickened, and his throat tightened.
Golden core… That was a golden core…
Yi Shengjie thought that he’d never have the opportunity to become a golden core stage cultivator in his lifetime, but there was actually a golden core in front of him right now!
Yi Shengjie stretched out his hand, stabbed one hand into the qilin’s stomach, and grabbed the golden core.
Without the support of the golden core, the qilin dissipated. Yi Liang thus became trapped by the black smoke.
Feeling the cool and powerful golden core in his grasp, Yi Shengjie’s breathing became rapid.
Without even thinking about it, he swallowed the golden core. He wanted to merge with the golden core.
Consuming other people’s golden core didn’t really make him a golden core stage cultivator, only a pseudo one at best.
But Yi Shengjie couldn’t care less about that. His chance of becoming a golden core stage cultivator was very slim. Becoming a pseudo-golden core stage cultivator was already a qualitative breakthrough for him.
There was little hope for human cultivators to attain a golden core and enter the golden core stage of cultivation.
Some would naturally feel hopeless and choose this way.
Yi Shengjie swallowed the golden core, then sat cross-legged on the ground. He started to refine the golden core.
From others’ point of view, his actions were inexplicable. He was still in a fight, so why would he suddenly sit cross-legged on the ground?
Ning Shu glanced at Yi Shengjie and recited the soul-transcending incantation quickly. The billowing black smoke was full of baleful energies. They were what eroded the souls in the banner.
Not only had their consciousness been erased, but they were also turned into killing tools.
Some had even evolved into malevolent ghosts that devoured the other souls in the blood soul banner.
Yi Liang was still tugging at his hair in anguish. The little fox said angrily, “Why does he behave like this every time!? He knows it’s fake, so why does he keep crying like a dog?”
“You’ve never experienced this kind of pain. How do you know what he’s feeling? Quick, get rid of Yi Shengjie, don’t you want to get your freedom?” Ning Shu said to the little fox.
The little fox snorted.
“Hahaha…” Incomparably joyful laughter sounded. Yi Shengjie stood up. “I swallowed a golden core! From now on, my fate is completely up to me.”
Ning Shu: So stupid.
What was the little fox doing?
Ning Shu shouted to Yi Liang, “Yi Liang, Yi Shengjie is the one who murdered your parents, and now he was right in front of you.”
Yi Liang’s eyes were red as he stared at Yi Shengjie. “You killed my parents.”
“You’re talking about a doctor and a disciple of the Huajian School? Yes, I killed them.” Yi Shengjie actually said it.
Yi Shengjie’s heart was full of delight. He was now a golden core stage cultivator!
Yi Liang’s mother was actually a disciple of a cultivation school, but she mingled with ordinary people.
“Why, why…” Yi Liang clenched his fists tightly. His whole body was trembling.
Yi Shengjie frowned. “She was a woman who was willing to degrade herself by marrying an ordinary person instead of finding a cultivation companion. What she saw in him, I have no idea. He would turn into a handful of dirt in a few decades, anyway.”
Ning Shu: …
Although she was still chanting the spell, as she heard Yi Shengjie’s resentful rant, Ning Shu couldn’t help but make up a love triangle drama in her head.
So what if Yi Liang’s father turned into dirt in a few decades? Should Yi Liang’s mother have become his Daoist partner, then? Why should she, when Yi Shengjie already had great-grandchildren?
Did he ruin Yi Liang’s family because of this?
Ning Shu felt that it wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Yi Shengjie probably didn’t like the existence of a threat to him on his turf.
