Inciting Murder

Yue Qianchou asked in surprise, "He was so badly injured, how did Lu Yanqing manage to revive him?"

Nong Zhu shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that. I only found out after I heard that Li Duxing appeared in the Ghost Manor. I knew he wasn't dead and must have been saved by Lu Yanqing. Given how badly he was injured, I reckon only Lu Yanqing's skillful hands could have saved him. However, I heard that his cultivation level dropped from the late Spirit Transformation stage to the early Spirit Transformation stage. I wonder if his cultivation has improved over the years." "Tsk tsk! In that case, that one-armed old ghost owes you a life-saving grace!" Yue Qianchou chuckled.

"He was still unconscious at the time and had no idea I saved him. Besides, I had never had any dealings with him before, and I didn't want him to owe me any favors. When I handed him over to Lu Yanqing, I told her not to tell him that I was the one who saved him. Li Duxing probably doesn't know about this either," Nong Zhu said calmly.

"Oh!" Yue Qianchou let out a long "oh," as if to say, "I didn't realize you were so noble and virtuous, doing good deeds without seeking recognition."

Ignoring his sarcastic tone, Nong Zhu didn't forget to warn, "So many years have passed, I wonder what Li Duxing thinks about what happened back then. Be careful when you run into him in the future, make sure he knows you're Lao Bi's brother. If he still holds a grudge, it might be bad for you." "I understand." Yue Qianlan nodded, then suddenly frowned, as if remembering something, and asked solemnly, "What's your relationship with Wen Lanfeng?"

Upon hearing this, Nong Zhu gave him a serious look and warned, "Don't you dare try anything funny with Wen Weifeng. He risked falling out with the six top experts to establish his authority because he promised me and your master on Shuntian Island that he would back you up. Don't be ungrateful."

"You don't need to tell me that. I'm not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity." Yue Qianchou frowned and pondered, "It's just that he was defeated by Master. I don't know if he will have other ideas."

"Aside from his infatuation with Lu Yanqing, he's an upright person, and we have a good relationship. Since he promised to take care of you, he won't play tricks behind your back. He's trustworthy." Nong Zhu asked with some suspicion, "What exactly are you trying to say?" "It's like this." Yue Qianchou asked, "When you first came up, did you see that young man next to Brother Bianhu?" "Are you talking about that kid who's in the early Tribulation stage?" Nong Zhu asked back.

"That's right, that person is Yan Zhuixing, the traitor from the Huaxia Cultivation World, who retreated to Wuji Island. I didn't expect him to come here. It's really suspicious!" Yue Qianchou frowned. "Oh! So it's him!" Nong Zhu teased, "I heard that you and he were mortal enemies back in the Huaxia Cultivation World."

Ignoring his sarcasm, Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes and stared at Nong Zhu, saying slowly, "Help me kill him."

"You want me to kill Yan Zhuixing?" Nong Zhu stared at him up and down in surprise for a while, then chuckled and said, "That's not right! Didn't you claim to be the Number One Expert Under Heaven below the Spirit Transformation stage? You've killed several experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Killing a mere early Tribulation stage Yan Zhuixing is a piece of cake. Besides, I heard that Yan Zhuixing suffered a loss at your hands in the Huaxia Cultivation World. He shouldn't be your match! Why do you want me to do it for you?"

"It must be an intuition! I can't explain why, but I always feel that this person is a great scourge if left alive, and must be eliminated as soon as possible. By the way, I just remembered something." Yue Qianchou asked, "Do you remember that Ziyi and I once held a Blade Drawing Tournament in the Huaxia Cultivation World?"

"I've heard a little about it." Nong Zhu nodded slightly, carefully observing the expression on Yue Qianchou's face. He noticed that Yue Qianchou's expression was very solemn when he mentioned Yan Zhuixing. This made Nongzhuu also take it seriously. He thought to himself, "This guy is fearless and dares to attack even experts in the Spirit Transformation stage. It's really puzzling that he would be wary of a cultivator in the early Tribulation stage."

"You know those two treasured swords were formed from Netherworld Ghost Fire. During the Blade Drawing Tournament, one of Man Hu's junior brothers died from the black flames. But do you know how sinister Yan Zhuixing is?" Yue Qianchou still felt lingering fear as he recalled the scene, Yan Zhuixing's utterly cold eyes...

He paused, then continued, "That guy wasn't afraid of the black fire at all, and he even inhaled the Sha Qi it released as if it were oxygen. And those eyes, good heavens, were they even human eyes? Damn, it's incredibly eerie. Ziyi saw it too; you can ask her if you don't believe me."

"Is that so?" Nong Zhu was equally shocked. Others might not know the power of the black fire, but he had personally entered the Nine Nether Cave and been to the Netherworld Sea of Fire. Even with his mid Spirit Transformation stage cultivation, he dared not linger too long before the Netherworld Sea of Fire. He naturally understood how powerful the black evil released by the black fire was, especially the black evil Black Fiend Wind Blade condensed from it, which were one of the major obstacles to the Nine Nether Cave. Yet Yan Zhuixing was only at the early Tribulation stage, and he was actually unafraid of the Netherworld Ghost Fire and could even absorb the black evil. Even Bi Changchun was wary of something, but he wasn't afraid of it. It was no wonder Nong Zhu was shocked.

Yue Qianchou sneered fiercely, "I don't care how wicked he is. We must nip it in the bud and prevent it from happening again. With my cultivation level, I haven't found an opportunity to strike yet, otherwise I would have done so long ago. So please help me kill him as soon as possible." His ruthless and decisive nature was on full display.

His appearance startled Nong Zhu. She thought to herself, "Old Bi is ruthless, but this kid is not only ruthless, he's also vicious, cruel, and unscrupulous. Where did he learn all this?"

"I can't help you with this." Nong Zhu slowly shook her head and said, "Yan Zhuixing is one of the main figures in the war against the Huaxia Cultivation World, supported by various countries. I promised them that I would not interfere in their conflict with the Huaxia Cultivation World. If I help you kill Yan Zhuixing, I will break my promise."

Yue Qianchou stamped his foot in exasperation, "Hey! How can you be so stubborn? I didn't ask you to do it openly. You could have killed him secretly! With your cultivation level, killing him would have been a piece of cake. If you did it in secret, who would know it was you?"

"Get as far away from me as you can, get the hell away from me." Nong Zhu said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Do you think I'm like you? You're ruthless and unscrupulous in doing things. If I've done something wrong to someone, I will definitely abide by it. That's my bottom line."

"You..." Yue Qianchou was speechless for a moment. Then he bowed and earnestly advised Lou Yi: "Putting aside the fact that this person has a grudge against me and will seek revenge sooner or later, I really have a very strong feeling, you might not believe it, but when I saw him at the Blade Drawing Tournament, I had a very strong premonition that this guy would become a scourge to the Cultivation World sooner or later. Just think of it as eliminating a scourge for the Cultivation World!"

He predicted that Yan Zhuixing would become a scourge to the Cultivation World, while Yan Zhuixing sensed that he would be implicated in the Biyuan Kingdom. Whether these two were telling the truth or not, it all seemed rather far-fetched!

Nong Zhu scoffed. "This guy's trying to fool me again. He clearly wants to use me to eliminate his rivals, but he's using a premonition as an excuse. He can't even come up with a better reason to fool people. I think you'll become a scourge on the Cultivation World or later—no, you're already a scourge. Wherever you go, chaos and turmoil follow!" "Even if what you say is true, I won't cross my moral boundaries," Nong Zhu shook her head unmoved.

"Damn it!" Yue Qianchou couldn't help but swear. But he was still not satisfied. His eyes darted around, and he said with a "wait," "Since you and Wen Shuofeng have a good relationship, there's something I have to remind you of." "Just say what it is, don't beat around the bush," Nong Zhu said impatiently.

"Did you notice when you passed by down there? Yan Zhuixing is actually hanging out with that girl Wen Qing. Don't you find that strange?" Yue Qianchou said, pretending to be a kind reminder.

Nong Zhu glanced at him warily at first, but after a moment's thought, she also felt something was amiss. Wen Qing, though royalty, was a mortal, completely unrelated to cultivators, at most knowing a little martial arts. Yet Yan Zhuixing and Qiehu, four experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, were mingling with her—could they be friends...?

Seeing him deep in thought, Yue Qianchou continued to embellish the story, saying, "You may not know Yan Zhuixing, but he and I are rivals, and I know him very well. As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy. My understanding of him is similar to that."

Seeing Nong Zhu's attentive expression, he continued, "That Yan Zhuixing is extremely vicious. Back in the Hundred Flower Valley of China, he used deadly poison to control a group of people. What's terrifying is that he somehow found the long-lost 'Natal Soul Stripping Technique' and secretly controlled cultivators in the Cultivation World for his own use. Then he used those people to commit all sorts of atrocities, including burning, killing, and looting. Unfortunately, I ran into him, and because I exposed his true colors, we became enemies. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Cultivation World in China and ask around, then you'll know if what I'm saying is true or not." "You mean he has designs on Wen Qing?" Nong Zhu asked casually as she pondered.

"What's so great about Wen Qing? So what if he's royalty? Even if you gave that girl to him, he probably wouldn't bother keeping her around. That would be a waste! Bringing four late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending experts to accompany that girl around Heng? It's unbelievable. Do you really believe he's that kind-hearted?" Yue Qianchou scoffed, then said very seriously, "I suspect that guy has ulterior motives towards the Shi Wen family; otherwise, he wouldn't even look at a mere Wen Qing. Since you have such a close relationship with Wen Weifeng, you should make him be on his guard!"

"You don't mean you want me to find Wen Weifeng and have him kill Yan Zhuixing, do you?" Nong Zhu suddenly realized that this little brat had already been plotting to have Wen Weifeng kill Yan Zhuixing when he mentioned Wen Weifeng earlier. He was encouraging her to do it, and when she refused, he revealed his true colors. He really knows how to trick people one after another!
