You Shameless Scoundrel!

"Absolutely not!"

Huo Yuan had already dismissed everyone around him. Now, with a serious expression, he declared righteously, "Absolutely, absolutely, there is no such thing!"

"Brother Jiu Wu!"

"How could I know that the ultimate victor would be your Purple Mansion Holy Land?"

"So I really didn't mean to trick you..."

"So you're admitting it?!?"

Jiu Wu's eyes widened even more. "So, you're planning to scam whoever you can, one by one, huh???"

"How come I never realized you could be such a scumbag?!"

"You're not Purple Mansion Disciple either!"

"I don't remember Su the Runner taking you along very often, right? How did you learn so well?"

"..."

Qi Zixiao blinked, feeling as if she had overheard some secret.

This person had some dealings with Aunt-Master Su back then? It seems they even hung out with our Senior Sister Su back in the day?

Tsk tsk tsk!

No wonder it's such a rip-off!

However, she was also somewhat speechless.

If I had known it was some kind of Three Lifetimes Method, why would I have bothered?!

But then again...

She thought about it again and calmed down.

The Three Lifetimes Method and such are merely icing on the cake. If not, then so be it. This trip to the Three Saints City has already been a complete success.

He earned a huge amount of Spirit Stone and replenished the souls of both his main body and his avatar to a perfect state.

It's worth it!

Qi Zixiao felt it wasn't a loss, but Jiu Wu didn't think so. On the contrary, in Jiu Wu's opinion... it wasn't a loss?!

Nonsense!

This is an absolute huge loss, a massive loss!

What happened to the promised Three Lifetimes Method? How did it turn out to be a knock-off?!

Jiu Wu immediately declared that he wouldn't stand for it, "Let me make this clear to you, kid, if you don't hand over the real Three Lifetimes Method today, I'm not done with you!"

"Trying to scam people? Fine!"

"You're throwing this hot potato at us? Fine! Our Purple Mansion can take the blame for you."

"But the prerequisite is that it must be a genuine Three Lifetimes Method, not some fake thing like this!"

"Otherwise, do you think we should take the blame for you? I'll just have Zixiao throw that thing out and make it known to the whole world. Let's see if those people will come after you or our Zi Mansion then!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan's face immediately showed helplessness.

"Brother!"

"Brother Jiu Wu, I'll call you brother!"

"No, no, no, don't call me that, I can't take it! I don't have a brother like you who would betray his brother!"

"No, brother, I really didn't know that the final winner would be Zixiao. Think about it, based on experience, shouldn't the final winner be decided in Taiyi or the Nine Dragons Holy Land?"

"How could I have known that Zixiao was... was... so... powerful?"

Huo Yuan ultimately held back his words.

He wanted to say who knew Qi Zixiao would be so 'tricky', but some things, even if they are the truth, cannot be said!

Otherwise, wouldn't it just be speaking the obvious truth?

"Nonsense! Which Purple Mansion Saintess wasn't powerful?"

Jiu Wu, however, was completely unconvinced and ignored Huo Yuan and cursed, "Hand over the real Three Lifetimes Method!"

"Or we can just stay here!"

"I'll also bring over hundreds of thousands of Purple Mansion Disciple. They can eat, drink, and cultivate right here in your Three Saints City Lord's Mansion. You'll have to cover all the expenses!"

"Or I'll spread the word everywhere that the Lord of the Three Saints City is untrustworthy, and that he gave us a fake Three Lifetimes Method instead of the promised one!"

"Brother Wu, this isn't very interesting!"

Huo Yuan had a terrible headache. He rubbed his temples and said, "I really didn't mean to cheat you. Aren't you just being unreasonable?"

"Whoa!"

Jiu Wu sneered, "Me, a scoundrel?"

"That's still not as shameless as you. If you weren't shameless, would I have learned from you?"

"This..."

Huo Yuan had a headache. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spread his hands and said as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, "Fine, then do whatever you want!"

"Go ahead and spread it everywhere, and see if people believe you haven't obtained the Three Lifetimes Method?"

"I, Huo Yuan, am a person of some standing, and I have already publicly stated that I have given away the Three Lifetimes Method. Would I lie to anyone?"

"At worst, I'll swear another Heavenly Dao Oath that I've given you the Three Lifetimes Method. Then see who the cultivators of the world will believe."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zixiao was shocked: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???"

She never imagined that the dignified city lord of the Three Saints City would be such a... rogue and scoundrel?!

Jiu Wu was so angry he jumped up and down. "You're obviously shameless, aren't you? How can you say such a lie?!"

"What is there that I can't say?!"

"Besides, I even dare to make Heavenly Dao Oath."

Huo Yuan's face was ashen, and he cursed, "Damn it! I don't know which orphan bastard is spreading rumors that I have some kind of Three Lifetimes Method, which has led to countless powerful figures coveting it!"

"But in reality, where the hell is this ' Three Lifetimes Method '?!"

"The so-called Three Lifetimes Method is simply the law left behind by our Three Saints City's ancestor, the law he created himself, which is the same law he just gave to the Zixiao girl!"

"But who would believe that now?"

"Let alone those people, even you, Brother Jiu Wu, do you believe it?!"

You don't believe me either!

"But that's the fucking truth!"

"No one believes me when I tell them. What can I do? Everyone knows I have the Three Lifetimes Method. I don't know how many people are trying to coerce or bribe me to hand it over."

"If it weren't for my damn strength, and the fact that I've stayed in the Three Saints City headquarters and haven't gone out, I'd probably have been killed long ago!"

What do you think I can do?

"This time, the people are even more powerful than anyone before. If I don't get rid of this hot potato, what else can I do? Am I just going to wait to die?!"

Huo Yuan was really going all out.

At this moment, he no longer hid anything and, in front of Jiu Wu and Qi Zixiao, he cursed and told them everything.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Wu first frowned, then asked in return, "Is there really no Three Lifetimes Method?"

"See? Even you don't believe it!"

Huo Yuan sighed deeply.

"Brother Jiu Wu, I call you brother! You should know my character. I was once indebted to Senior Sister Su. Would I lie to you?"

"You were lying to me just now."

Jiu Wu rolled his eyes.

Huo Yuan: "..."

"I, Huo Yuan, hereby Heavenly Dao Oath: My Three Saints City has never had any Three Lifetimes Method that allows one to live a third life. The so-called Three Lifetimes Method is what I gave to the Zixiao girl!"

If I utter even half a lie, may I die instantly, my divinity extinguished!

"Do you believe that now?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Jiu Wu asked, "Really not?"

"It never happened in the first place. I don't know which bastard spread it, but everyone actually believed it!"

Huo Yuan began to curse.

"If there truly is Three Lifetimes Method, why has no one, apart from the ancestors of my Three Saints City, ever been able to live out their third life?! Not even a second life has been lived!"

"The reason why my ancestors of the Three Saints City were able to live to a third life is entirely because they were Peerless Genius with extraordinary abilities. Where did any magic come from?!"

"Unfortunately, no matter how much I talk, no one believes me."

"Even if I publicly Heavenly Dao Oath, not many people will believe me. They will only think that the Three Lifetimes Method does exist, just not called by this name, which is why I dare to swear Heavenly Dao Oath!"

"Oh?"

Jiu Wu glared. "So the Three Lifetimes Method isn't actually called the Three Lifetimes Method?"

Huo Yuan looked at him with utter despair...

"Just kidding."

Jiu Wu smiled, but soon his smile faded.

"So, does that mean we have no choice but to take the blame, and we can't get it off the hook?!"

The Three Lifetimes Method enjoys a great reputation in the Cultivation World, and countless people dream of obtaining it. Among them, there are some who are extremely eager and are even willing to do anything for the Three Lifetimes Method. Who are these people?

Old Madmen with extremely high cultivation but little lifespan left!

The higher their cultivation level, the more afraid they are of death, and once they break through, they will possess an extremely long lifespan...

Perhaps they had a premonition of their death long ago, and that is why every day they lived was torture, and they tried every possible way to survive.

Therefore, the renowned Three Lifetimes Method is what they value most.

Once you live a second, or even a third life...

Not to mention he won't die, after regaining two lives, he might even be able to break through the limits of his current life. When the memories of the three lives are combined, he might even be able to unleash another wave of power and become an immortal!

These Old Madmen's desire for the Three Lifetimes Method has long surpassed everything else.

This can be seen from Huo Yuan's performance.

In other words, he is strong enough, and the Three Saints City is his base. As long as he doesn't go out, he can fight even a Holy Master if he comes here with the help of various formations.

Even so, Huo Yuan was starting to feel the strain, which gives you an idea of just how many crazy Old Madmen were behind this.

For them, the Three Lifetimes Method is everything; it is their hope for survival...

They've all gone 'crazy'. Telling them the Three Lifetimes Method doesn't exist? They absolutely cannot believe it!

but...

Everyone knows that Huo Yuan was in a terrible predicament because of this matter, and it is quite possible that he would hand over the Three Lifetimes Method in order to shift the blame to others.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable and normal to shift the focus after the Heaven's Chosen Assembly.

After figuring all this out, Jiu Wu was also in a terrible headache and really wanted to give Huo Yuan a good beating right away.

This is such a damn rip-off!

Of course, they knew beforehand that this was a hot potato, but...

Everyone thought it was the real Three Lifetimes Method, so let it be a hot potato. Even though this thing is extremely difficult to cultivate, there are still quite a few Old Madmen in such a vast holy land.

Of course, calling him Old Madmen is a bit disrespectful. We should say that he is a senior who has secluded himself in seclusion, and he was once a prodigy. There are many such people, and who knows who might succeed in cultivating?

It truly is the Three Lifetimes Method; it's all worth it!

The problem is, this thing is fake!!!
