I Can Help You Kill People Too

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat down to rest on a nearby rock. He was speechless when Meng Qingying asked him that question.

How was I supposed to run into you here again... By the way, I came here to find medicine, what are you doing here?

If he had a choice, Qin Yi might not have wanted Meng Qingying to be from the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect. He knew that what he had said to Meng Qingying in front of Minghe last time had been somewhat hurtful.

What did I say back then?

"No matter how you try to provoke her, if she wants to kill you, I will still help her."

Such words are tantamount to a complete break; the little bit of friendship that had been forged through fighting side by side has long been destroyed by a single sentence.

If the other party is truly a violent and cruel Witch, then the right thing to do right now seems to be to kill Qin Yi, rather than to help him out of this predicament.

The ambush by the Tarsal Bone Maggots was manageable, but the fact that the Fire Man was suppressed was undoubtedly the result of Meng Qingying's intervention. The Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect's method of using all things as accomplices only briefly confused the opponent's Technique Method, and it was already good enough that it didn't seize it as its own accomplice...

That Fire Man is terrifying; if you get hit by it, you'll be badly injured, if not killed.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi felt a little guilty about his previous cold words and said in a low voice, "Thank you for earlier."

"Why are you thanking me?" Meng Qingying crossed her arms and said calmly, "That Daoist priest actually dared to save the person I was going to kill... So of course I have to sabotage the person he was going to kill. It's only fair to return the favor. I just didn't expect it to be you."

Qin Yi was moved to tears. This was reasoning, and even if her reasoning was bizarre, it still had a self-consistent logic. Unlike those chaotic and silly people whose behavior was inexplicable, relying entirely on Liusu's imagination, who didn't even know how much of her imagination was correct.

Having only spent half a day with the chaotic and silly group, meeting the reasonable Witch felt like meeting a long-lost relative.

Of course, he had his reasons. "In any case, you helped me this time, so I owe you a favor."

Meng Qingying remained silent for a moment, looking him up and down for a while before a smile finally appeared on her lips, "What are you doing here? Is it for the sake of ordinary people again?"

"Uh..." Qin Yi instinctively realized he couldn't say he was looking for medicine for other girls, or he might end up in a very bad situation. So he cautiously asked, "I'm looking for something. What about you?"

"Perhaps you don't know, but there are a few places of refuge for some people in Shenzhou who have nowhere to go. One is the City of Blood of the Witch God Sect, and the other is the Land of Chaos south of the Rift Valley. These are places that Righteous Path sects absolutely do not want to set foot in, as the casualty rate is very high. Of course, even for refugees, going to these places is a matter of life and death for them."

"Don't tell me you're here to seek refuge?"

"I'm here to kill someone." Meng Qingying smiled slightly. "My sect's succession struggle is about to begin. One of my senior Senior Brother, who was originally slightly ahead of me, was ambushed by me before it even started, and was seriously injured and fled. I'm here to eliminate him completely."

Qin Yi asked curiously, "Can your sect tolerate such internal strife? Is it also due to chaotic thinking?"

"Only through the struggle for the throne can things be like this, a way to raise poisonous insects, and no one can interfere. Whether it's a sneak attack, a frame-up, or any other means... in the end, the one who survives is the strongest, the Young Master of everyone. This is our order, only you can't stand it." Meng Qingying said calmly, "The so-called chaos here also has a kind of order in their bones. It's just that we may not understand their order, and it's very uncomfortable to watch."

Qin Yi nodded in agreement. "In the end, none of these are the realms of formlessness. Pursuing disorder is like grasping the surface but losing the essence; it's just self-deception. I was initially somewhat interested in the local customs, but after fighting this Daoist priest, I found it all rather pointless."

Meng Qingying chuckled, "You know about Wuxiang?"

"I know Bangbang..." Qin Yi knew that Liusu and the people here seemed similar on the surface, but they were actually quite different. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I know about calligraphy and painting. Masters may seem to be painting haphazardly, but they actually have their own rules. Children don't know this. They see everyone scribbling randomly, but it's not like that at all. If they don't reach that level, they'll force themselves to imitate, and eventually they won't even know what they're doing anymore."

Meng Qingying said, "It's also because the rules here are somewhat chaotic, causing mutual influence. People are born with different ways of thinking, so there's no right or wrong to say."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Yi strangely. "I ambushed my Senior Brother and came here to eliminate any future threats. Are you concerned about whether my sect can tolerate this? And then you talk to me about this place? Don't you have anything to say about this kind of thing?"

"No," Qin Yi said calmly. "That's your sect's rule. If you don't do it, you die. What right do I have to criticize you? Do you expect me to force you to act honorably while I watch you get ambushed? I'm not a saint. If we're talking about personal relationships, of course I hope you win the struggle for the throne and live a good life."

Meng Qingying chuckled, "So you helped Minghe kill me because you're closer to her?"

"..." Qin Yi really didn't know how to explain. This girl was clearly reasonable, so why did she become unreasonable when it came to Minghe's matter... The root of our disagreement was the innocent townspeople, and that's why we stood on the same side as Minghe. Why couldn't she understand this time and time again, insisting on blaming it on Minghe's fault...

However, he didn't want to argue at this moment. Meng Qingying had just helped him, and he hadn't even reciprocated yet, so why would he start arguing about values? That would be ridiculous. He thought for a moment and then said, "If you insist on saying that... I could actually help you kill someone."

"Hmm?" Meng Qingying's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Really, you want to eliminate the root of the problem. If you feel that you can't do it all by yourself, I can help you." Qin Yi looked at the sky and said, "However, I have a time limit for finding the medicine. I must get the medicine and go back first. Then I can come back and help you however I want."

Meng Qingying's eyes sparkled, and she suddenly smiled, "What kind of medicine were you looking for?"

"I'm going to Peek Heaven Peak to see a man named Tai Huang Jun. He has something called the Heavenly Heart Lotus..."

Without a word, Meng Qingying pulled him towards the mountains. "That's easy, I'll go with you! Whether it's stealing or robbing, this Witch can help you. After that, you're mine!"

Qin Yi, stumbling and falling as he was pulled along, was both amused and exasperated. "I said, if you killed your competitor, why did you end up fighting with the local inhabitants?"

Meng Qingying said, "I don't know why the other party helped him. The people here think inexplicably. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? But Qin Yi, do you know about the Profound Yin Sect here?"

"I just heard about it."

"I think you should learn about this sect. I strongly suspect that they and the Great Joy Temple share the same origin, but they have split into the North and South, and are at opposite ends of the spectrum, Buddhism and Daoism."

"Hmm?" Qin Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Even so, it doesn't really concern us, does it? We've been separated for who knows how long."

"Have you forgotten what I just said? This is a place for refuge and exile." Meng Qingying said coldly, "Did your Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Scheming Sect really wipe out the remnants of the Great Joy Temple?"

Qin Yi frowned.

Of course, there's no guarantee that everything was cleaned up. The people of Great Joy Temple weren't all waiting to be slaughtered inside the temple; many Cloud Wandering around. How easy would it be to search the whole world afterward? Plus, the internal affairs of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Scheming Sect caused delays, and by the time people were sent to search for those people, they had long since disappeared.

According to Meng Qingying, she may have discovered traces of the remnants of the Great Joy Temple.

The remnants of the Great Joy Temple are a minor matter; the real issue is whether Cheng Yuan is hiding here to recuperate. If confirmed, this is no longer Qin Yi's concern; he must immediately send a message to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace.

While they were pondering, the two had already arrived at Peek Heaven Peak.

This is a typical hermitage cave abode a sacred mountain, Rogue Cultivator. The mountains are beautiful, the waters are clear, and the air is filled with Spiritual Qi energy. The peaks soar into the clouds, their summits hidden from view. Stepping into the mountains, one feels a sense of being in a secluded, otherworldly realm.

Qin Yi looked up and sighed, "I hope this Tai Huang Jun is easy to talk to..."

Meng Qingying remained noncommittal. The Witch had no concept of asking for favors; if necessary, she would steal or rob. What did it matter if the other party was easy to talk to or not?

Upon reaching the summit, the two came upon a clear pond, shrouded in mist and carrying the subtle fragrance of white lotuses, a truly refreshing sight. The lotuses also carried a hint of medicinal aroma; Qin Yi knew immediately that cultivating in this lotus pond might offer numerous benefits.

There was a stone by the pond, and a Daoist priest was sitting cross-legged on it, indeed practicing his cultivation in the lotus pond. This must be the Tai Huang Jun.

Qin Yi glanced at her, then suddenly grabbed Meng Qingying and dashed away like a rocket.

The Daoist robe was painted with a smiling face, and the lips were scorched and swollen like sausages. Who else could it be but the one who fought before?

P. S.: Requesting additional updates again. I asked for updates in the last chapter, but they didn't even add ten data points. I'm so sad t_t
