Chapter 234: Revenge is possible, but not necessary.

Chou Yidao died.

Piaoyu’s mentality exploded.

He, who had always been calm and carefree, was now scared to the point of wearing a One Piece-style expression, just like when Enel encountered a non-conductive rubber man.

Then his first reaction was to run, escape, flee.

Run away!

He didn’t even bother to collect Chou Yidao’s body and wished to use himself as an arrow on a bow and shoot out.

He and Chou Yidao had killed many experts together, and even a first-class expert would not be unharmed under Chou Yidao’s blade.

So when he saw the opponent’s rosy complexion, he immediately realized that they were not opponents they could handle.

What "dragon among men."

This guy might actually be a real dragon!

Even if he stands still and lets me shoot, can I kill him with a shot?

Damn, with such abilities, why not contribute to the society of the Ming Country instead of just fooling around in this shallow pool of Yingzhou like a turtle!

Too much!

Piaoyu chose to run away in extreme anger, disregarding the tasks assigned by the Blue Wing Society.

Tasks? Screw it!

If you have the guts, come and give it a try! If you come, you’ll run too!

Worst case scenario, I’ll just resign and quit. Life is precious, after all. I’ve earned enough retirement money over the years. I’ll simply submit a resignation report and run away without even reporting, to avoid being caught and retaliated against. The other party will definitely remember my several sneak attacks.

I’ll just find a picturesque place in the mountains and retire there directly. I don’t need this damn bow anymore. I’ll break it right away!

The only one he felt sorry for deep down was Chou Yidao. He was his sworn brother, and they were as close as brothers, like true siblings!

Although he wished to immediately seek revenge and avenge his hatred, he soon calmed down.

With the cold night breeze blowing at below zero temperatures, he was forced to calm down, and then he sobered up.

We’re all demonic cultivators, each taking what we need. In the end, it’s about mutual use and support. Otherwise, how could we survive in the dangerous Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?

After so many years of friendship, he could erect a grave marker for him and build a tomb in a beautiful place.

But that’s all there is.

Only a decade or two of friendship.

Piaoyu felt that they weren’t that familiar either.

You see, there are actually quite a few disabled people without limbs in the world.

Hmm, I’ll go back and carve him a monument, with the words "Ordinary in life, ordinary in death", that’s how it will be done.

It’s not that I’m scared out of my wits, but rather that seeking revenge is something that requires careful consideration and unfortunately, it takes too much time.

It’s possible, but not necessary.

…

[【Task completed】]

[【Obtained: A broken and rusty iron knife】]

Bai Wei put away the tiger head ring knife and patted its hilt.

"This thing has been stained with so much blood, it’s unsanitary, don’t eat it."

The grievance-cleansed malevolent blade has become an ordinary piece of mysterious iron, perhaps it can be useful if it’s re-forged.

Imbued with malevolent energy for decades, it’s probably good quality Yin-attributed iron.

Dundun opened his mouth wide.

Ah, is it over just like this?

Chou Yidao is already dead, a Blue Wing Society assassin died just like that.

He was hanging on the wall before, like a piece of cured meat, with closed eyes, didn’t seem to have any regrets, he seemed to have departed peacefully.

How should we handle this?

"There’s one more," Dundun suddenly said, "There’s another one who shot arrows from a distance, this guy is relatively more upright, there should be one more."

"He’s already escaped," Bai Wei said, "No need to chase, let him go…you carry the body out and bury it in a secluded place, or if you find it troublesome, just throw it into Tokyo Bay, make a contribution to the marine ecosystem."

Dundun nodded, "Alright."

He lifted the body and crossed over the high wall, soon disappearing without a trace.

The two assassins were just a minor episode, Bai Wei turned his attention back to Princess Chao Lu, hmm, she’s not small either…apart from Simozi, their development is pretty good, right? No, that’s not the point…the purple exclamation mark is still gleaming, and her soul is even weaker than before.

Bai Wei sat cross-legged, his finger pointing at the center of Chao Lu’s brow.

Then he found a comfortable position and leaned back, like an audience member in the theater, waiting to watch the show.

Even if it’s his former self on the stage, there’s no harm in applauding and cheering.

The purple exclamation mark was triggered, revealing distant memories.

[【Dreams of the Past】]

[【Number 21, Awakening】]

…

Chao Lu opened her eyes, looking around, it was pitch black.

"Where is this?"

"Is this the Netherworld, the Underworld, the River of Forgetfulness, or the Bridge of Helplessness?"

"I’ve forgotten it all, I was previously in Yingzhou, maybe I’ve arrived at the Third Pass…"

Chao Lu laughed self-deprecatingly, speaking a few words, her voice echoing, which oddly brought her some peace of mind.

The environment here is very strange, very eerie, everything is monotonously black and white, with lights shining down from above, as if in a stage play.

The dark space extends infinitely in all directions, unlike the Underworld, because the Underworld should also be bustling with departed souls, it shouldn’t be this quiet and lifeless, but the death of life itself is inherently void and peaceful.

She became increasingly uncertain about where she is currently situated.

Just as she was feeling puzzled, she suddenly bumped into something. After touching her head and taking a step back, she discovered it was a door. She reached out her hand and pushed it, but the door was closed. However, it had a doorknob. She twisted the doorknob, and a faint light seeped through from behind.

Chao Lu, who was originally inside the house, now opened the door and stepped out into a courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a willow tree, and a faint scent of osmanthus lingered in the air. Underneath the osmanthus tree, there were tables and chairs, with a Go board placed on the table. It seemed like just a moment ago, there were two people playing a game here. However, the charcoal fire at the table had long gone out, and the tea had turned cold.

It was her first time seeing this courtyard. Her own home was much bigger than this, but for some reason, she felt nostalgic and familiar.

Chao Lu walked to the foot of the tree and then heard the rustling of branches. She looked up and saw something hit her on the head.

She reached out her hand and caught it, and it was an apple.

Sitting on the locust tree was a girl, exquisite and lovely. But Chao Lu didn’t recognize her; it wasn’t herself.

"Who are you…?" Chao Lu spoke.

"Liu Er," the girl said her own name.

Then, a gust of wind blew, and she suddenly jumped down from the tree, agilely taking steps and running towards another place through the courtyard.

Chao Lu followed after, with the girl in front. She found that no matter if she walked or jogged, she couldn’t catch up. She just kept following and moving forward in the darkness. Suddenly, they arrived at another place. The girl ran into another place, passed through a door, and then disappeared.

This time, an old woman appeared before Chao Lu’s eyes.

She was sitting in another courtyard, but this one was different from the previous one. It had a fish pond and a landscape, obviously more luxurious.

"Hello?" Chao Lu greeted politely.

"Hello." The old woman opened her eyes, giving a gentle smile. Although there were wrinkles between her eyebrows, one could still see the once peerless beauty. Her voice sounded unexpectedly young, "To think that someone would come to this place."

"Where is this?" Chao Lu asked.

"Have a seat first and give me the apple." The old woman reached out her hand and caught the apple. Then, she peeled off a few apple skins, put them into a teapot, and after a while, she poured out a simple tea. "Would you like to taste it?"

"Thank you." Chao Lu held the cup, but she had no intention of drinking the tea. She asked once again, "May I ask where is this place?"

"What do you want to achieve by asking this?"

"I want to leave this place," Chao Lu said. "I need to wake up quickly."

She believed that her soul was trapped and confined in some kind of device.

"I see," the old woman said with a smile. "As long as you gather a few things, I will tell you how to leave."

"I’m broke right now, and I don’t have anything either," Chao Lu said helplessly.

"It doesn’t need money; it requires some other things," the old woman explained. "They are all here, but I need you to fetch them for me."

"Please tell me."

The first item is a wooden sword.
