Chapter 274: Sects, Ignorant Pigs, and Villain Complex
Frogs in wells, tigers in mountains, pigs with pearls, the vastness of the skies... I'm sick of this fucking bullshit.
"You are courting death!"
Some fucking asshole yelled at me as he brandished his sword.
I've lost count of how many assholes have said the same thing tonight and I'm sick of it.
I extended my hand to the asshole and closed my hand.
The asshole fell to the ground lifeless as his head was gone, only a bite mark remained on his neck as if a giant dog had devoured his head in one bite.
Ortro's ability to devour things while ignoring distances is very useful...
"Great Elder Wu! Damn bastard, you dare to kill the ancestor of my family! The Wu family will not forget this blood debt!"
I felt my blood pressure increase.
Years ago I didn't feel so annoyed with humans... Maybe I should get ahead of Beast VII and extinguish humanity on my own...
"Ahahaha, come on boy, don't make such a gloomy face and have fun!" – The old psychopath Luo De shouted with euphoria as he strangled a Taoist cultivator with his own intestines. - "Hahahahaha! You stinking monks, feel the fury of the great Luo De!"
I took a deep breath to calm down, I can't lose my self-control or I might accidentally start destroying souls which will be a problem...
"Damn you Luo De! You are a bloody old dog, the heavens will punish your insolence! You and all those demons behind you will be eradicated from the world!" – A massive amount of energy shook the mountain where we are. – "This time I will make sure to annihilate all traces of your conscience!"
"Ahahahaha pretentious idiot!" – Luo De shouted with euphoria as he faced a powerful cultivator. – "I will kill your male descendants while that brat enslaves your granddaughters! Ahahaha your damn surname will be erased from history!"
"LUO DE!!" – The cultivator spat out blood from stress.
We are currently in a pocket dimension so cultivators can use skills that could destroy countries without fear of Alaya's punishment.
Additionally, this sect has multiple spirit formations to eradicate invaders.
Unfortunately for the members of this sect, System Goddess took control of the spirit formations, and now the defensive system is attacking the cultivators of this sect.
I will summarize the context.
The old man Luo De and I came to an orthodox sect and forced them to submit.
That sect was not one of the major sects and was also not part of the Association of the 8 Big Righteous Sect's Cultivators which were responsible for the old man's downfall.
At first, the sect patriarch wanted to fight us, but sensing our cultivation, he immediately gave in and gave us control of the sect, even handing us the contracts that bound disciples to be loyal to the sect.
I don't have cultivation, but with [Mythomania] I can make it look like my [Destiny Energy] is internal Qi so in raw energy I'm slightly below Aotian which would make me the strongest cultivator within Gaia.
Sure, there are cultivators who could fight me in a direct battle, but I'm an assassin so I don't use conventional and fair methods.
On the other hand, Luo De used a space warping formation to spend two years in a single night.
Luo De took full advantage of the System Goddess-refined pills and the demonic arts talent of Qin Chao's innate demon body.
The old man not only regained all of his strength, but he was also slightly more powerful than in the past and at this rate, he only needs to understand one Concept to become a Higher Entity.
An old psychopath in the body of a protagonist, a dangerous combination.
At night the two of us had managed to take control of the unimportant sect and thus we could begin to develop a power that would overshadow the other sects, but the power of the plot attacked again.
To begin with, Su Ji, the main heroine of 'My Beautiful Teacher', was in danger.
She and her twin sister Su Fei were in a school.
My intervention in the plot caused an alteration in destiny so that both women were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Apparently, a creature called the Zombie King had appeared, a corrupt monster that causes rot and misfortune wherever it goes.
Both the cultivators and the government thought that the Zombie King was the cause of the pandemic which should be good for me, the problem is that the Zombie King had emerged in the school where Su Ji and Su Fei were.
The upside is that I got there in time to prevent both women from being killed which gave me bonus points with both women, but that doesn't matter at this point.
At that time my appearance was that of Lu San so both twins have gratitude to me, the plot makes it too easy to expand my harem... By the way, both girls were sent to a safe place so I don't need to think about them for now.
The real problem is that several cultivators from the Association of the 8 Big Righteous Sect's Cultivators appeared and for no reason they tried to kill me.
...
Well, I admit it, it was my fault.
A beautiful zombie woman appeared and asked me for help.
She is Hu Ke, a character from 'My Beautiful Teacher', and although she is not a hero, she is in the 'ally' category so she instinctively felt that I would help her because of my plot armor.
At that time I already had the appearance of Harem King so I was able to use more brute force and thus I didn't reject another beautiful woman for my harem, anyway, Tsubaki insists that I need more good-natured women in my harem.
Righteous cultivators judge right and wrong based on racist nonsense, so all non-human beings are evil creatures to them.
Hu Ke has a sinless soul and a kind heart, but the cultivators wanted to kill her for being a zombie.
Cultivators with stupid prejudices, nothing new.
Anyway, I helped the woman, but this made some idiot scream bullshit so, in a totally intentional accident, I slapped him so hard his head disappeared.
The idiot seemed to be the descendant of someone important so his sect members attacked me.
All died.
The members of the other sects looked at me with hate and fear since I didn't use cultivation techniques to kill the cultivators, I only used martial arts and physical strength.
Hu Ke is a kind woman and she didn't want to see the cultivators die even though they wanted to kill her, she insisted that it was best to join forces to defeat the Zombie King.
The cultivators agreed to work with me to defeat the Zombie King, but they planned to attack me from behind when I faced the monster.
When the Zombie King showed up, those assholes just stared as I took on the monster.
Actually, it was easy to beat it since its strongest ability was causing corrosion on physical objects and corrupting spiritual energy so that monster was the natural weakness of orthodox cultivators, but it's a punching bag for demon cultivators with tough bodies.
One note: Normally Orthodox cultivators focus on mystical techniques while Demonic cultivators focus on violent combat, so Orthodox cultivators are weak in close combat. This does not apply to all cultivators as there are always exceptions.
I pretended to have a hard time beating the Zombie King and the battle left me very tired.
The cultivators demonstrated the Dao of hypocrisy and attacked me from behind in the name of the greater good. I wanted to applaud them.
Hu Ke intervened unnecessarily to protect me and almost died. Although that was part of my plan, I still felt annoyed so all the cultivators who attacked me were killed, additionally, I managed to win Hu Ke's affection with the well-worn tactic of the hero saving the princess.
Obviously, only the men died since the women chose not to attack me. Plot.
I pretended to be furious and made a threat, that same night I would attack the sects where the idiots who dared to betray me came from, since attacking a comrade in arms from behind is one of the biggest offenses among cultivators.
Although the stupidity of cultivators frustrates me, it's nice that any small offense serves as a justification for a massacre.
At that moment the predictable began.
An old lady offered me her two female disciples in exchange for not destroying her sect, Misty Peak.
Actually, she was just looking to buy time to go back to her sect and contact the elders to organize an assassination squad to eliminate me.
I accepted the deal since both female disciples weren't really loyal to that sect since they aren't even human, but snakes that managed to cultivate for hundreds of years into human forms.
Although some sects have had demonic beasts among their disciples, the truth is that these creatures have been subjected to millennia of discrimination and violence, so they do not have favorable emotions towards humans.
In fact, one of them was one of the demon beasts that managed to sense my presence when I had An Xin awaken her Nine-Tailed Fox lineage.
Both female disciples were originally resentful and furious at being used as a trading currency, but I let them feel a bit of my presence and the one that seemed to be the strongest snake recognized my presence so now she seems a bit expectant to get the method to evolve her lineage.
The two snakes are Hua Niang and Bai Jiaojiao. The former is a secondary heroine of 'My Beautiful Teacher' while the latter is a supporting character. By the way, they are something like adoptive sisters.
In addition to Misty Peak, there was another person willing to negotiate.
A woman named Shen Qing offered to give me heavenly treasures in exchange for not attacking the Shu Mountain Sect.
I accepted this since she tried to stop her sect members as she dislikes sneak attacks and she was sincerely embarrassed by her comrades' actions, though at the same time, she resents me since her sect mates are now pieces of meat on the ground.
I was more violent than necessary since I'm in a bad mood.
"Harem King, please reconsider..." - Shen Yu struggled to speak. – "At this rate the three ancestors of the sect will come out of seclusion, even a strong individual like you will be in danger despite having the help of the fearsome Luo De..."
She doesn't lie. The secret weapon of each sect is the ancient cultivators who remain isolated to try to figure out a way to escape Alaya's limitations.
They possess the power to take on low-level Elder Ones like Dagon, and while that sounds imposing, they have too many restrictions that they are just dogs on a leash.
Normally the ancestors remain in seclusion as Alaya denies them access to the human world so they can only spend the rest of their lives not being able to leave Gaia while also being unable to interact with the outside world.
They are a bit similar to the myth of Icarus, birds that flew too close to the sun so they lost their wings and are now simple soldiers that exist to protect this World.
It's ironic, tragic, and very funny.
By the way, BB says that Dagon is a stupid tuna since it is the weakest and stupidest Ancient One, even goddesses like Rushia or Coco could stomp on that tuna.
I approached Shen Yu, crouched down, and with my finger lifted her chin so that he looked me in the eye.
I smiled with amusement. – "Is it a threat?"
Shen Yu started trembling in fear, my current smile is the one I use as Seiji when extorting money from idiots.
Shen Qing hurriedly slammed her forehead into the ground. – "Shen Yu is an ignorant girl and she doesn't know what she says! I pray that you show mercy to this foolish girl!"
"Evil senpai is cute~"
"Hey Listen! This is your chance for an aunt and niece threesome!"
I sighed and removed my finger from Shen Yu's chin. – "You have a wonderful aunt, you should learn to take care of what you say"
"Thank you for showing mercy" – Shen Qing was sincerely thankful that I didn't kill her niece, she really thinks I'm a psycho...
Well, there are bits of human brain staining my shoes so this is understandable.
I looked in the direction of the main building where the secret weapons of this sect should be.
The building exploded and a group of silhouettes took to the skies.
The surviving disciples shouted in excitement at the arrival of the ancestors, even Luo De frowned as he is not capable of facing more than two ancestors at once.
Human silhouettes landed in front of me to which I smiled.
"A-Ancestors..." – Shen Qing paled.
Shen Yu seemed to be about to faint.
Three severely mutilated old men were thrown near me.
Their sinews, meridians, eyes, and tongues had been severed, they had even lost their Dantians making them as weak as a normal three-year-old, these decrepit old men will not live more than two months in these conditions.
Next to the dying elders was a woman with an attractive body, but her face was covered with a white mask embroidered with flowers.
Although Aotian only has a mask to hide her identity, the mask is capable of changing all of her spiritual information so that her own father would not be able to recognize her.
During a break in one of my jobs, I watched a Superman movie and it seemed stupid that no one could recognize him just by putting on glasses, but now Aotian is totally unrecognizable with a simple eye mask so I can't complain about the ridiculousness on TV anymore.
I smiled at Shen Yu. – "Well, I think the ancestors will not be able to help"
Luo De and I attacked the elders and disciples while Aotian was in charge of capturing the big fishes, although seeing the signs of torture on the elders, they must have said something that made my wife furious.
"To tell the truth, I like beautiful women..." - I held my chin in contemplation. – "But I do not like to force women to enter my harem since I respect the free will of my women... On the other hand, I do not see the use of this sect..."
Shen Qin raised her head and met my eyes with determination without a trace of doubt. – "Sir, if you spare the life of my sect I am willing to be the woman of the sir... No, I will be the slave and toy of the sir, I will also make sure that the whole sect is loyal to the sir"
"Aunty are you crazy?!" - Shen Yu screamed in panic.
Shen Qing slapped her niece.
Shen Yu was stunned as it seems to be her first time getting slapped and she didn't know how to react.
Shen Qing continued to look at me respectfully. – "Sir, I can promise that we will be useful and loyal, I will also make sure to properly educate my silly niece to serve the sir"
Hua Niang and Aotian nodded in approval. For them, this is the right attitude.
Bai Jiaojiao had no interest in this, she only seemed disappointed that she would no longer be able to kill cultivators. She seems to have a grudge against human cultivators.
"Fine" - I smiled with appreciation. – "From now on you will be the matriarch of this sect... she Now she organizes some disciples to accompany me to the other sects that dared to attack me from behind"
Shen Qing bowed. – "Sir, the disciples are still scared and distressed so they can cause problems if we go to war against other sects"
I smiled. – "I don't care, I will kill any traitor, no exceptions"
Shen Qing nodded. – "I will need the time of an incense stick to make the preparations"
She's getting serious about being loyal to me, but... How the hell do you measure time with incense?
"It's approximately fifteen to twenty minutes depending on the type of incense, but it won't be more than half an hour" - System Goddess solved my doubt without having to ask her.
"Thanks" - I sighed internally, stupid measurement systems lacking accuracy.
"You're welcome, I'm glad to be able to clarify your doubts" - System Goddess replied with joy.
"Tch, simp" – BB clicked her tongue.
"It's hypocritical when you say so" - Nyaruko rolled her eyes.
"Mine is a mental problem so it is justified in the same way that a serial killer cannot be prosecuted if he has schizophrenia" - BB smiled proudly.
I ignored the voices and sighed. – "Fine, we are not in a big hurry, anyway, it is likely that the other sects also plan to betray me... Well, more free resources"
Shen Qing nodded and made a final bow. – "I will make the preparations"
Shen Qin left with the stunned Shen Yu to gather the survivors of the sect.
"Hey brat" – Luo De approached me as he looked at the ancestors writhing on the ground. – "Can I stay with these stinky old men? I want to refine their bones and blood to make a new sword... Hehe, it will be exciting to use that sword to mutilate the descendants of these stinky old men"
Using the father's flesh to kill the son... This old man has strange hobbies.
"Sure, have fun" - I shrugged. – "But if you want a good sword then my wife can make something better"
Luo De's mouth twitched. – "Brat, it is good that you have talented people supporting you, but remember that trust is the first step towards betrayal and love is the seed of repentance"
This old man has post-traumatic stress.
"Crap!" - Aotian frowned. – "I will die before betraying my husband!"
Luo De sneered. – "You say that now, but life is long and relationships are ephemeral, in the end, women are treacherous creatures who allow themselves to be seduced by empty words while they forget favors and loyalties"
"You!" – Aotian was about to tear out the old man's heart.
"Enough!" – I spoke with annoyance. - "Old man! I know you had a shitty experience, but stop projecting your insecurities on me, I appreciate your advice, but stop insisting on stupid things "
Luo De grunted and stopped talking.
I sighed and looked at Aotian slightly softly, but showing seriousness. – "You cannot be so impulsive, violence should only respond to violence, for stupidity it is better to respond with indifference"
Fuck, I'm already talking like an old man imparting cheap wisdom from a fortune cookie.
Aotian nodded. - "I get it"
I sighed internally. When this is over I must take a little break or I'll turn into a stupid old man.
Maybe I can follow Chiyo's idea and try to improve my family relationship with my sister...
As for my mother... Honestly, she disgusts me so she doesn't matter.
"Hey Listen! That is a flag for an incestuous disaster!"
... Son of...
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia'...]
Shutup! I don't want to hear a fucking word!
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' moves to a corner and draws circles on the ground]
There are times when I hate my life...
