There was a trap!
A huge trap lay within this!
Li Su did not even need to think it over carefully before he reached that conclusion.
Leaving everything else aside, the karmic ties of the cultivation art alone were enough to saddle Li Su with a major righteous sect as an enemy for no reason at all.
After all, they could not possibly have given him this cultivation art as a gift, could they?
That made the odds of murder and plunder as high as ninety-nine percent.
The reason he did not say one hundred percent was mainly because there was still another possibility—for instance, the person could have been a traitor.
The righteous path might be grand and dignified, but it was also truly difficult to walk.
And when one's cultivation became stuck, it was truly agonizing as well. Not to mention anything distant—outside, the Mythical Realm had nearly erupted into a great war with the foreign races. Why? Hadn't they been stuck?
Fortunately, in the Mythical Realm, Saints had kept watch, and for those close to becoming Saints, breaking through required far more than the people of the Mythical Realm could provide. Otherwise, who knew what state the Mythical Realm would have ended up in.
When one was suffering worse than death, the demonic path—a shortcut—was no different from placing a bottle of "Want It All" beside an addict for cultivators who had hit a wall and could not advance any further. The effect was outstanding!
Thus, few people started out on the demonic path. Most demonic cultivators had turned off the righteous path halfway through.
After all, the demonic path had far too many problems. Unless there was no other choice, it would basically never be anyone's first option.
Perhaps someone might say, why fuss and dawdle?
