Chapter 94 Logical Closed Loop: Welcome, Young Master! This Myriad Spirit Stone is Too Hot to Handle
slid --
The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, powerful enough to shatter a Nascent Soul cultivator into charcoal, suddenly slipped just three inches from Yu Liang's scalp.
It's like a drunkard who's stepped on a banana peel.
The lightning bolt, which was originally striking straight down, made a sharp 90-degree turn in mid-air and slid to the side along Yu Liang's so-called "unaffected by any magic" strange force field.
boom!
The boulder shattered, sending debris flying everywhere.
A patrol team from the Enforcement Hall, who happened to be passing by, was instantly blasted into a punk-style mess by this "second-hand calamity" before they could even utter a sound.
Seven or eight people, all standing in neat rows, were foaming at the mouth, their hair standing on end and still smoking, and the air was filled with a chilling smell of burning.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Yu Liang touched his undamaged scalp, looked at the convulsing law enforcement disciple on the ground, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
This is... absolutely none of my business!
This is called force majeure! This is called a system bug!
However, in the eyes of the bald gang members on Zizhu Peak, this scene, automatically embellished by their brains, became another kind of miracle.
A bolt of lightning struck down upon Yu Liang.
But the moment they touched his Dharma body, they were easily repelled by that supreme demonic power, which also punished the lackey who disrespected Master Yu!
What is this?
This is a case of words becoming law!
This is the destiny ordained by Heaven!
"A miracle...this is a miracle!"
Wang Yi was so excited that he trembled all over, and his face was covered in tears and snot.
He kowtowed violently, his forehead hitting the bluestone slab with a loud thud, like the beating of a drum.
"Master Yu's magical power is boundless! Even the Heavenly Tribulation must detour!"
"We swear to follow our master to the death! Even if we die nine times, we will not regret it!"
The twenty-two bald disciples behind him went even crazier, each one seemingly injected with adrenaline, prostrating themselves on the ground, their roars shattering the tranquility of the night sky.
"Master Yu is mighty!"
"Heavenly lightning is nothing! Master Yu can flick it away with a single finger!"
Yu Liang looked at the group of believers who had fallen into fanaticism, his lips twitching wildly.
He wanted to explain.
I think this is just an unfortunate landslide effect.
But before he could speak, a loud crash suddenly came from the kitchen.
Su Xiu came out carrying a black pot bigger than herself, looking blankly at the terrible scene in the yard.
Just a short while ago.
A crane suddenly convulsed in mid-air and crashed precisely into her soup pot, scalding all its feathers.
Two plump wild rabbits, in their panic, ran headfirst into a doorpost and died, their brains splattered everywhere.
There was even a spirit sheep that had been knocked unconscious by a fragment of a meteorite, lying foaming at the mouth at the bottom of the steps, its four legs still twitching nervously.
The yard was full of wild game.
They were all delivered automatically to their door, and their deaths were gruesome.
"Yu Liang..."
Su Xiu glanced at the scalding crane in the pot, then at the innocent-looking Yu Liang, her gaze complex as if she were looking at a monster.
"Is our Purple Bamboo Peak... cursed by the God of Food?"
Such a windfall would be considered an auspicious sign elsewhere.
Placing it next to Yu Liang makes it seem as if he is so unlucky that the creatures around him suffer misfortune because of his divine punishment.
Yu Liang opened his mouth, but in the end he could only wave his hand helplessly, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Let's stew it."
"They're all stewed."
"Add more spice, so you can eat your fill and get going."
Before he could finish speaking...
A dark figure darted out of the shadows like a ghost, executed a perfectly executed sliding kneel, leaving a long trail of dirt, and stopped precisely in front of Yu Liang.
It was Liu Bo, the double agent.
At this moment, Liu Bo's face was filled with a kind of pilgrimage-like fanaticism, and his eyes were even more ardent than those of the Bald Gang, as if he had seen the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor.
"Lord Negotiator!"
Liu Bo lowered his voice, his tone trembling with excitement, as if he were about to cough up his heart and lungs.
"Your subordinate...your subordinate saw everything!"
Yu Liang's heart skipped a beat.
What did you see?
See me get struck by lightning? See me suffer bad luck?
Just as he was about to drag Liu Bo into a corner and physically silence him, the guy had already fallen into some indescribable fanatical logic.
"You single-handedly disrupted the destiny of the Qingxuan Sect!"
Liu Bo pulled a heavy storage bag from his pocket, raised it above his head with both hands, as if offering it as a sacrifice to a deity.
Liu Bo witnessed firsthand how Yu Liang extorted Liu Feng's genius disciple, how he intercepted Liu Ruyan's forbidden medicine, and how Xiao Wufeng frantically chased after Yu Liang, in addition to the chaos in the sect caused by Yu Liang.
He got it!
"Your subordinate is dull-witted; only today have I grasped the astonishing strategy Your Excellency has devised!"
Liu Bo's voice was very low, but it sounded hoarse and shrill due to excessive excitement.
"First, they caused a fire in the cafeteria, cutting off its food supplies!"
"Lure the swarm of ghost-faced bees again, and wound their claws and teeth!"
"Finally, it even summoned heavenly lightning to deter the wicked!"
"These incidents, one by one, all demonstrate your unfathomable demonic cultivation and your grand ambition to destroy Qingxuan!"
Yu Liang: "..."
He wanted to call the police.
Really.
This is a big misunderstanding, and it's hard to explain.
Liu Bo didn't give him a chance to interrupt and continued his excited report to the director:
"Your subordinate has relayed a detailed account of your recent heroic deeds back to the Holy Church headquarters!"
"The cult leader is overjoyed!"
"Special approval for 'Subversion Fund'—100,000 top-grade spirit stones! Plus one 'Myriad Spirit Blood Pearl,' a supreme demonic treasure!"
Liu Bo forced the storage bag into Yu Liang's hand.
The weight of it made Yu Liang's hands tremble.
One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.
That's 100,000!
In a world where even a low-grade spirit stone can drive an outer disciple to their death, this huge sum of money is enough to buy half of a cultivation family.
But he couldn't feel happy at all.
Because this money is a hot potato.
It's so hot it could burn you to death.
Once you take this money, the "devil" label is practically welded onto your head.
"besides……"
Liu Bo approached mysteriously, looked around, and pulled out a roll of yellowed parchment from his pocket, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"The leader said that now that you have shown your prowess, there are some things you should know."
"What is this?" Yu Liang's voice was dry, and his right eyelid twitched wildly.
"Your file."
Liu Bo unfolded the parchment, pointed to a line of words on it, his eyes filled with reverence, even with a hint of tears.
"After a thorough investigation by the Holy Church's elders, combined with divination based on celestial secrets, your true identity has finally been confirmed."
"Your father was Yu Qian, a guardian elder of my Eclipse Moon Sect sent to the Azure Profound Sect a hundred years ago, codenamed 'Thousand-Faced Demon Lord'!"
Om-!
Yu Liang felt as if he had been hit on the head with a blunt object.
Yu... Yu Qian?
Who the hell is this?!
"That's right!"
Liu Bo pointed to the record on the parchment and stated it with absolute certainty:
"Elder Yu infiltrated the sect a hundred years ago, and then mysteriously disappeared. But he left behind a prophecy: A hundred years later, my son will wield the 'Qiongqi' sword, codenamed 'The Old Man in Debt,' bearing divine retribution, and restart the plan to destroy the sect!"
"Look!"
Liu Bo pointed to the rusty sword in Yu Liang's hand, and then to the strangely intertwined causal lines on his body.
"The timing matches! The surname matches! Even the weapon matches!"
"You are the chosen one, the second-generation demon! Our young master whom we have been waiting for for a hundred years!"
Boom!
At that moment, Yu Liang seemed to hear a loud bang in his mind.
That's the sound of a logical closed loop.
It is also the sound of a worldview collapsing.
The most terrifying aspect of the causal path is not killing people, but "calling a deer a horse".
When all the coincidences are strung together, when all the misunderstandings form a chain of evidence, when everyone believes it to be true.
What is fake becomes real.
To fill this logical loophole, and to explain why Yu Liang has so many strange abilities and why he has that sword, the world forcibly gave him a "reasonable" background.
Even though he didn't know Yu Qian at all.
But now, the Heavenly Dao has approved it, the Eclipse Moon Sect has approved it, and even these 100,000 spirit stones have been approved.
Yu Liang is an undercover agent of the Eclipse Moon Cult.
The evidence is irrefutable, and there is no way to overturn the verdict.
Yu Liang looked at the "Myriad Spirits Blood Bead" in his hand, which exuded a bloody smell, and then looked at the "believers" kneeling all around him, their eyes full of expectation.
He suddenly realized that the lightning bolt that hadn't killed him might just have been keeping him around to play with, to see how he struggled in this absurd drama.
"that……"
Yu Liang swallowed hard, making a final attempt, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz:
"If I said I'm actually a good person, and I wouldn't even dare kill a chicken, would you believe me?"
Liu Bo nodded heavily, his eyes resolute, even with a hint of fanaticism:
"I believe you! Of course I believe you! This is the highest realm of the demonic path—great treachery disguised as loyalty, great evil disguised as good! A return to simplicity!"
"Young Master is mighty!"
"The Holy Sect has already sent people to infiltrate. Their first task is to destroy the mountain-protecting formation. Then, at your command, they will cooperate to massacre the Qingxuan Sect, leaving no one alive!"
Yu Liang's vision went black, and he collapsed in his wheelchair.
This damned law of cause and effect.
This is absolutely outrageous!
It can't be erased now.
It's impossible to clear my name now.
That being the case...
Looking at the 100,000 spirit stones, a glint of gambler-like madness suddenly flashed in Yu Liang's eyes.
That was hysteria after being driven to the brink of despair.
"OK."
He grabbed the storage bag, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grimace, and revealed a smile that was more like a grimace than a cry.
"Since you insist on calling me a demon..."
"Then I'll gladly accept this money!"
Yu Liang suddenly waved his hand, sweeping away his dejection and replacing it with an arrogant attitude of "what's the use of being arrogant?"
"Pass down the order! The banquet will begin tonight!"
"Stew that crane for me! Make it spicy! Extra spicy!"
"Now that we've eaten, let's settle this 'stalemate' with the Qingxuan Sect!"
