Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 31: Peace of Mind

The pond water was a clear and vibrant shade of green, and the masked man's hand reached into it.

Several black fish immediately swam towards the masked man, mistaking him for the one who feeds them.

The masked man grabbed one of the fish, which was slippery and sticky.

The fish lay still, without struggling.

The masked man suddenly smiled, "I won't eat fish anymore."

With a wave of his hand, a stream of water surged up, carrying the fish in his hand.

The masked man looked at the black fish, "Quickly tell your mother that you're about to embark on a long journey."

He placed the black fish into a bamboo tube and tied it to his waist.

He looked at the corpse on the ground, a strange light flickering in his eyes, "Should I touch a corpse?"

...

Zheng Jianghe was dressed in black attire, his expression incredibly gloomy.

"People from the Black Mountain Sect live in the Chen Mansion?" he asked.

The enforcer from the Golden Light Hall nodded, anger burning in his eyes, ready to burst forth.

"Yes!"

Zheng Jianghe clenched the Yinwood Bead in his hand and crushed it directly.

"The Black Mountain Sect has gone too far!"

Just half a month ago, Chu Tianxiong had massacred the Chen Mansion.

The family, who should have been celebrating, were brutally killed overnight, and even the bride had met her end.

When Zheng Jianghe arrived at the Chen Mansion, he was met with a scene akin to hell.

At that time, the bride's father had arrived at the Chen Mansion, covered in dust, and had been continuously kowtowing and kneeling before him.

The image of the elderly man, with his white hair and kneeling before him, was something he could never forget.

Especially when Chu Tianxiong left, the stubborn father, with his wife, knelt outside the Divine Light Sect's gate for over ten days.

Zheng Jianghe had a deep memory of it.

And now, Chu Tianxiong chose to live in the Chen Mansion, what was he thinking?

"Let's go, follow me to the Chen Mansion!" Zheng Jianghe gritted his teeth.

Originally, he wanted to send some people to keep an eye on the Chen Mansion from outside, to prevent Chu Tianxiong from causing more trouble. But after some thought, he decided to go himself.

A group of people hurried towards the Chen Mansion under the cover of night.

Their expressions were not pleasant, filled with solemnity.

Because they knew they were completely helpless against Chu Tianxiong and the other disciples of the Black Mountain Sect.

It was the same last time, and it would be the same this time.

"The smell of blood!" Suddenly, Zheng Jianghe stopped in his tracks, sniffing forcefully, and then used a technique to enhance his sense of smell. The smell of blood became even stronger.

And the source of the smell of blood was coming from the Chen Mansion where Chu Tianxiong and the other disciples of the Black Mountain Sect were.

Worry filled Zheng Jianghe's eyes.

Could it be that the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect were causing another massacre in Rong City?

"Hurry!" Everyone hastened their pace towards the Chen Mansion.

At this moment, the gate creaked open, and a white-robed figure wearing a strange mask walked out of the Chen Mansion.

Zheng Jianghe's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the masked person, feeling cautious.

A person from the Black Mountain Sect?

No, not quite!

The disciples of the Black Mountain Sect all carried a faint smell of blood on them.

But this masked person did not.

How did he come out of the Chen Mansion?

Where are the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect?

"Elder..." Zheng Jianghe hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up, "There are many disciples of the Black Mountain Sect inside the Chen Mansion. Elder, please be careful. The disciples of the Black Mountain Sect are always ruthless."

Although the other party might be familiar with the Black Mountain Sect, he still wanted to remind them to avoid any unexpected incidents.

Qi Yuan recognized Zheng Jianghe when he saw him.

His voice was hoarse, "The people from the Black Mountain Sect are well-behaved. I wanted to eat fish, so I deliberately opened the gate and went in to catch some."

Zheng Jianghe was stunned.

The other disciples of the Divine Light Sect were also puzzled, unable to make sense of the situation.

"My wife is about to give birth, so I have to leave." Qi Yuan finished speaking and quickly ran away.

Leaving Zheng Jianghe and the others in confusion in the night.

But soon, Zheng Jianghe's gaze fell upon the gate of the Chen Mansion.

The closer they got, the stronger the smell of blood became.

He stepped forward.

Knock, knock!

The sound of knocking echoed in the silent night, making it feel even more profound.

Inside the Chen Mansion, it was quiet, with no response.

Zheng Jianghe and the others exchanged glances, and a terrifying thought arose in his mind.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He and the others exchanged glances, then lifted their feet and kicked hard.

The door opened with a sound.

Everyone looked over and took a cold breath.

Only to see, in the courtyard of the Chen Mansion, there were more than a dozen corpses laid out.

Zheng Jianghe saw a head, it was Chu Tianxiong's head!

"Praise the Chicken Ancestor, that's the Chicken Ancestor!" A disciple of the Divine Light Sect trembled and shouted.

Zheng Jianghe looked over and saw the previously mighty Chicken Ancestor, already beheaded, his eyes wide open, showing an expression of disbelief.

This was a Perfected Being who had formed a Gold Core!

And died like this!

Zheng Jianghe suddenly burst into laughter, saying "good" three times in a row!

He remembered the strange person he had just encountered.

Could it be... that person killed him!

Although he had some guesses in his heart, seeing it for real still shocked him.

However, Zheng Jianghe quickly suppressed this emotion.

He knew that this matter was very big, and the consequences were extremely serious.

The Black Mountain Sect was not strong, with only a few Perfected Beings, but behind the Black Mountain Sect was the Black Chicken Demon.

"Someone, set fire, burn this place!" Zheng Jianghe ordered directly.

The disciples of the Divine Light Sect immediately took action, preparing torches to set the Chen Mansion on fire.

Zheng Jianghe wanted to destroy the scene for the masked person.

Although the effect might not be significant.

But it was better than nothing.

...

Outside the gate of the Divine Light Sect.

The sunset had long since fallen, and the moon was slowly rising.

The Divine Light Sect at night felt a bit chilly.

An old man with white hair knelt outside the gate of the Divine Light Sect, his forehead covered in dense cold sweat.

In his twilight years, he could lose his life at any moment.

Perhaps from a fall, or perhaps from a nap.

"Old man, go back." The old woman's hair was white and a bit messy, but judging from her attire, she used to be a refined person.

"I'll kneel a little longer. If any Immortal Master who has fallen sees me, maybe they will be moved and seek justice for Qianqian!"

The old woman looked at the stubborn old man, her eyes misty.

People like them, mortals living in the world of cultivation, had to rely on fate.

Living in the area where the Black Mountain Sect was located meant a very tragic fate.

Under the rule of the Divine Light Sect, they would be much luckier.

But in the eyes of the lofty immortals, weren't they still ants?

Faced with Chu Tianxiong, they were completely powerless for revenge, and could only rely on the Divine Light Sect.

Now, they were like people who blocked the imperial carriage to lodge a complaint.

Fortunately, no one here persuaded them to go back.

Just then, a crisp and pleasant voice came.

"I caught a bluefish today, feeling good. Please have some fish soup."

Qi Yuan appeared, holding two bowls of fish soup in his hands.

The fragrance was enticing.

The old man's face showed excitement when he saw this, and he was about to kowtow, "Please, Immortal Master, help my poor daughter!"

Qi Yuan flicked his finger, and a spiritual force stabilized the old man, preventing him from kowtowing.

Qi Yuan placed the fish soup in front of the two.

"The sect already knows about your matter."

"After drinking this bowl of soup, rest well."

Qi Yuan turned around, feeling a bit enlightened, "The great man was right, if heaven has feelings, it will also grow old, and the righteous path in the mortal world is full of vicissitudes."

"Love has always been accompanied by hatred, and this hatred has no end."

"Delayed justice is not justice, my heart is at peace when it finds its place."

Qi Yuan continued to talk nonsense.

In the end, he sighed.

"I hope those who hear my words won't be misled by me."

After speaking, his figure disappeared.

The old couple continued to kowtow, and finally, joy appeared in their eyes.

The Immortal Master noticed them!

Their persistence was not in vain.

Of course, in this world, there were more instances of persistence ending in nothing.
