Chapter 25 — The peerlessly talented demon ba snake (8)
Shi Kong nodded, rubbed his hands, silently muttered a few holy verses, and the black miasma on the demon core slowly faded.
Lu Heng brought the demon core near Min’s mouth, urging him to retrieve his demon core quickly. For the demon race, keeping the demon core separated too long will result in a great harm.
Min actually shook the head and refused: “My spirit has been mostly absorbed by that formation, my vitality has been cut off, giving the demon core to me is useless now.”
The Linyang County Lord who was still in the room started to hysterically rebuke: “You devil fox! You dare treat me like this!”
Min spit out a cluster of essence from his mouth and poured it into Linyang County Lord’s body. Afterward he spoke to the Lu Heng: “At the beginning she rescued my life, now practicing evil techniques has reduced her mortal lifespan. I gave her the rest of my lifespan, to conclude the past karmic debt.”
Min looked again at the Linyang County Lord, as if to say goodbye to his lover in his previous life: “Zheng, I bequeath my demon core to you. No need to be worried, I am willingly giving you my demon core. There will be no evil consequence if you use it for cultivation. I only wish that you can send my body back to my native land.”
Just like migratory birds eventually return to their homeland, foxes wish to die in their native place.
After explaining his last wish, Min finally accepted everything, and closed his eyes peacefully.
After a long silence, Lu Heng found that the entire skin of Linyang County Lord suddenly began to dry up, and her hair turned white. Her whole person was as old as an eighty-year-old woman. In contrast, she had plenty of vitality in her body, and her remaining lifespan was enough for her to live another seventy or eighty years. It’s just such a situation was not a good thing for the princes of Linyang who is dependent on her beauty.
“Why did this happen?”
“When one practices evil techniques with a mortal body, there will always be some adverse effects.” Shi Kong explained.
“When Min decided to give his life to Linyang County Lord, did he know this would happen?” Lu Heng somewhat sighed with emotions.
“It has nothing to do with you or me. It’s time to leave.” Shi Kong brought out a recording orb, and sent a paper crane to Prince Gong. He also waved his sleeve to release the body binding technique on Linyang County Lord and led Lu Heng away from Prince Gong’s mansion.
Lu Heng also hesitated to look back and said, “This Linyang County Lord has killed so many people, is that all right?”
“A person must cultivate in the righteous path, and in order to avoid karma, should never hurt the lives of mortals.”
“Karma?”
“The greater the karmic debt, the harder it is to overcome tribulation. You should remember that before you can ascend, all karmic debts will be settled.”
Lu Heng seemed to have heard the mournful scream of the Linyang County Lord in the courtyard, probably because she saw her present appearance.
Lu Heng was somewhat worried after putting the corpse of Min in a storage bag. His cultivation was still shallow, the inheritance he received was not complete, and even in the limited inheritance, there was no mention of where the demon clan was located.
Lu Heng was frustrated and revealed his worries to Shi Kong. Shi Kong, after pondering for a moment said, “You go back to the mountain forest (we were in) before and cultivate. “
Hearing that Shi Kong’s words had different meanings, Lu Heng urgently asked, “What about you? Where are you going? Will you come back?
“I need to go back to the sect to report what happened here, and on the way, I need to check some matters concerning the cultivation of the demon clan in sect’s records.” Shi Kong looked at Lu Heng and saw his expression, then explained, “Some of the clans in the sect have prejudice against the demon clan, you’d better stay in and cultivate.”
After Shi Kong left, Lu Heng dared not slacken a bit about his cultivation. After all, Shi Kong would test his cultivation when he would return. But without the companionship of Shi Kong, living in the uninhabited mountains almost caused Lu Heng from the modern society to go crazy from being bored.
“I REALLY WANT AN APPLE!” Today, Lu Heng let out a scream in the empty forest, which was also a way to vent his emotions.
“That …… I know where apples are.”
Lu Heng heard a timid voice behind him. He looked back and saw a young man with a beautiful face. He looked so frightened that he hid behind the tree and only showed his head outside.
“Really?”Although knew that this apple was not the other apple (from his world), Lu Heng was glad to finally have someone to talk to.
Seeing Lu Heng’s blooming smile, the young man summoned up courage and stepped out from behind the tree. “My name is Bai, Snow rabbit clan.”
