Chapter 161 - Go Back

The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

In a guest room, Li Huowang sat in a wooden tub, completely naked. He held onto a three-barbed spike in his lone arm, breathing deeply as though in preparation for something.

Whoo~ whoo~ whoo~

Li Huowang panted, trying to calm his nerves. Once he was completely composed, he stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, and raised the three-barbed spike in his hand, aiming it at his abdomen.

Blood started to flow into the bathwater, staining it a deep red.

The veins on Li Huowang’s forehead throbbed as he endured the excruciating pain that almost caused him to pass out. Even as he trembled from the pain, he continued to dig deeper.

Finally, he reached inside his stomach, intending to create an opening to see what was inside.

However, at that moment, Li Huowang realized that he only had one arm left, and thus he could not perform such an action.

Just as he was considering if he should call someone for help from the outside, a hand with long and black fingernails grazed his skin and reached for his waist.

“Thank you,” said Li Huowang as shuddered as he raised the three-barbed spike.

The Second Deity’s hand exerted slight pressure, causing the contents of his stomach to be slowly squeezed out. Apart from some half-digested food, there was nothing else—there was no Black Taisui nor Dan Yangzi’s half face. He was gone.

Upon seeing this, Li Huowang smiled. He had guessed correctly. That day, in the cave in order to confuse him, those members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao had taken care of the still alive Dan Yangzi.

Next, to tease him further, they had further hidden the Immortal Dan Yangzi, to an extent that even the Abbess hadn’t been able to detect him.

Those liars wanted to see him continue walking down this path and get replaced by Dan Yangzi under unexpected circumstances.

This was all for their amusement.

But this had inadvertently helped him. Back then, the reason Abbess and the nuns hadn’t been able to completely get rid of Dan Yangzi was because a part of him was still alive. That portion of Dan Yangzi which had still been alive was now completely dead. He just needed to return to the Benevolent Nunnery and look for Abbess; then, he could be completely rid of Dan Yangzi.

Based on the number of characters I still recognise, I guess I should be able to reach the kingdom of Si Qi before being completely assimilated by Dan Yangzi.

Li Huowang thought to himself before closing the book and stepping out.

Once outside, he noticed that everyone was looking at him with concern.

“I need to go back to the Benevolent Nunnery to ask the Abbess about some matters.” Li Huowang explained the reason why they were going back to Si Qi.

They had all visited the Benevolent Nunnery before, and everyone knew that there was something wrong with Li Huowang’s words; however, they did not question him. Perhaps some of them had other thoughts in mind, but now, they could only follow him without dissent.

One reason for this was because Li Huowang had saved their lives, but there was also an increasingly intimidating aura starting to emanate from him.

“Gao Zhijian, how’s your head?” Li Huowang clutched his stomach as he looked up at the tall figure with his covered head.

“No... no... no...”

“It’s good if you have no problems. Rest well, and eat more in this period to heal your body,” said Li Huowang.

Li Huowang was very shocked when he learned that Gao Zhijian was still alive. After all, he had personally seen the iron die penetrate Gao Zhijian’s temple.

When the others had gone through the battlefield, they found out that he was still breathing. Bai Lingmiao had then requested the assistance of the Immortals from the Bai Family, allowing him to eventually wake up.

Drowning was one thing, and this was another. Li Huowang found it rather hard to believe that this was just a coincidence. After all, he had seen far too many bizarre events here.

However, he stopped asking questions after Gao Zhijian told him that he did not know what was going on either.

No matter what, being alive was preferable to being dead.

Even so, there was still an iron die buried in his head. In that regard, Li Huowang did not dare ask for too much either.

“Has the new carriage been bought? Let me take a look. No need to support me, I can walk by myself,” asked Li Huowang.

As Puppy watched Li Huowang’s figure gradually growing distant, he couldn’t help but shiver. He turned to Zhao Wu and asked cautiously, “Hey, do you guys feel like Senior Li is becoming more and more like that Baldy?”
