Demon Duan Wanted to Cultivate a New Divine Art (Please Keep Reading)

"Lingshui Twin Heroes—this was merely the beginning of Demon Duan's evil deeds. Five innocent Thunder Listening practitioners from the Thunder Duke and Old Mother Sect were killed by him at the slightest disagreement."

"In Yellowwater City, nearly a thousand people from the Yellow Fish Gang and Red Crane Sect were dead or wounded after he casually sowed discord. Those were two of Yellowwater City's pillar gangs!"

"Also, an immortal maiden from the Red Tower had formed a bond with a master from Maplewood Town. At the slightest disagreement, he killed the fairy. Killing her was not enough—he even turned that master into a woman, indulging in every form of perversion and humiliation."

"Everyone, this is only the tip of the iceberg of this devil's crimes. It is said that he has already come to Springwatch City. If Springwatch City gains a devil like this, you'd all best be careful!

Once this devil arrives, rape and murder will be ordinary matters. Just the fact that he makes people undergo feminization is truly unprecedented, the first of its kind since ancient times! One can scarcely imagine what other perverse methods await."

The storyteller spoke grandly from above, while Demon Duan himself sat below, grinding his teeth.

By this point, Duan Yun could clearly sense that some people in the teahouse were afraid.

After all, how many of those who came to Springwatch City were not lustful?

Liking beautiful women and becoming one were entirely different concepts.

Someone could not help saying, "After that devil turns a man into a woman, will he take the opportunity to rape the feminized person and make them bear some sinful spawn?"

At those words, half the teahouse clenched up tight.

Even Duan Yun himself was stunned.

I am always out of step with you people because I am not perverted enough.

Listen to that—was that something a human could say?

At this point, someone questioned him. "You storyteller are talking nonsense. You only know how to scare people. There are plenty of devils in the martial world—how could there be anything so fantastical?"

The storyteller could not help letting out a cold laugh. "Talking nonsense? Dramatization is not fabrication! Xue Divine Physician of the Jiangzhong Sect said this himself!

"Who is Xue Divine Physician? He is a living immortal who can save lives, but he is also famous for having a big mouth! His mouth has been big for so many years—has he ever told a single lie?"

"What? Xue Divine Physician said it?"

At once, the mood in the teahouse changed.

Clearly, they placed great faith in Xue Divine Physician's words.

Duan Yun could not help saying gloomily, "With such a big mouth, isn't Xue Divine Physician afraid of being beaten to death?"

He truly wanted to beat that rumor-spreading bastard to death!

The storyteller looked at him and said with a smile, "Little brother, one can tell at a glance that you've only just entered the martial world. If Xue Divine Physician could really be beaten to death, he would probably have died more than ten times over by now."

"Then why hasn't he died?" Duan Yun asked angrily.

"Because Xue Divine Physician's medical skills are superb, and his martial arts are not bad either. Ordinary people truly are no match for him. Over the years, because of that mouth of his, who knows how many people have wanted to silence him forever, yet none have succeeded.

"The reason is simple. What martial artist goes without injuries? Whenever Xue Divine Physician is pursued for revenge and encounters someone he cannot defeat, he promises that person a chance to receive treatment or have their life saved.

"As long as they are not fools, they know having a divine physician backing them is a wonderful thing, so naturally they let it go. Xue Divine Physician owes no fewer than eighty, perhaps over a hundred, lives in the martial world—all of them experts. Who would dare trouble him?"

Duan Yun: "..."

So this was what they meant by a long illness making one a good doctor, and having more creditors only making one more arrogant?

At this point, someone questioned again, "You're just a storyteller, yet you dare expose Old Devil Duan's secrets. Aren't you afraid that old devil will turn you into a woman, then rape you?"

The storyteller immediately puffed out his chest and declared righteously, "The tradition of my Virtue Jade Society is to be bloodthirsty storytellers. So long as the tale is thrilling and satisfying, even if Old Devil truly takes a liking to me and kills and rapes me, or turns me into a woman before raping and killing me, it will all have been worth it!"

Duan Yun discovered that in this place, not only were many martial artists mad—there was something wrong with the storytellers' heads as well.

"But Lingshui Twin Heroes, the Thunder Duke and Old Mother Sect, and the Red Tower are not easy to provoke! Demon Duan is so arrogant, bringing disaster everywhere he goes. Isn't he afraid those people will deal with him?" someone could not help asking.

"Of course. The experts of the Thunder Duke and Old Mother Sect, the Red Tower, and other forces are all searching for Old Devil Duan now, eager to regain their honor. But Old Devil Duan's whereabouts are elusive and unpredictable, so they have not succeeded for the time being.

"But that is only temporary. There will be plenty of bloodshed and foul winds in this martial world yet!"

"Very well, I have just revealed only the tip of the iceberg of Old Devil Duan's havoc across Cloud Prefecture. Now, let me explain in detail exactly how Lingshui Twin Heroes were made to undergo feminization by Old Devil Duan!"

At that, the storyteller suddenly picked up his teacup and began drinking, saying no more.

"Damn it, hurry up and tell us!"

"Go into detail about the feminization! And how Old Devil Duan feminized those women warriors!"

"That's right, hurry up! Isn't it just reward money? Here!"

For a moment, reward money rained onto the stage.

The storyteller beamed with delight and began recounting in detail the ill-fated tale that Lingshui Twin Heroes, after becoming feminized Lingshui women warriors, shared with Duan Yun, Old Devil Duan.

Duan Yun left the teahouse with his head spinning.

He felt the malice of the world.

He merely wanted to be a great hero who swept away filth and spread martial arts throughout the land, yet these people not only spread rumors about him—they even spread dirty rumors about him and Hua Wen and Hua Wu!

What the storyteller said was half true and half false. If he himself were not "Demon Duan," he might even have believed it was real.

He had clearly acted chivalrously by eliminating the Thunder Crazies, yet it was told as though he had murdered innocent passersby. He had clearly killed the madwomen of the Red Tower and saved the entire Lu Family, yet it was told as though he had killed a woman and forcibly torn apart a pair of star-crossed lovers! Hua Wen, Hua Wu, and he were clearly friends in the martial world, yet they insisted on saying they had turned against one another in bitter enmity.

Most absurd of all, his Moon Stake Technique nourished yin and strengthened yang. Every morning, he stood tall for quite some time, yet these people insisted he was feminizing others.

Duan Yun had reason to believe that someone was definitely trying to harm him!

This human world was far too filthy. Someone wanted to strangle him, this young hero who was a clear stream amidst the muck, in the cradle.

It was simply too vicious!

Though the storyteller's words were utter nonsense, they had nevertheless warned Duan Yun.

People from the Red Tower and the Thunder Duke and Old Mother Sect were looking for him. Last time, merely killing one Red Tower elder had left him with broken skin. If he encountered a siege by experts, he might not be enough.

He had to continue gathering divine-art manuals, then find a secluded place to cultivate divine arts.

As long as he mastered a few more divine arts, what would he have to fear from being surrounded?

When the time came, he would take them down one with each finger and kill them until everything was clean and clear.

He would let everyone under heaven see how he acted chivalrously and punished evil!

He would let the world know that all of this was slander from evil demons and Outer Dao!

He was a clear stream, a young hero—not some perverted devil who feminized people!

Thinking of all there was still to do, Duan Yun was suddenly filled with motivation.

Considering that the Red Tower and the Thunder Duke and Old Mother Sect might launch an unscrupulous siege, Duan Yun decided to keep a low profile for the time being.

But when he recalled those rumors, he could not help growing angry again. He could only comfort himself, saying, "Take a step back and the sea is wide, the sky vast. Take a step back and the sea is wide, the sky vast. I, Duan Yun, am not a vengeful person."

Mm, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

That evening, the bloodthirsty storyteller left the teahouse laden with rewards, humming a little tune.

Yet after only a few steps, darkness fell before his eyes. Someone stuffed him into a sack, broke one of his legs, kicked him more than ten times, and even robbed him clean of the reward money he had earned so richly from his bloodthirsty storytelling that day.

Duan Yun spat and left.

This was the price of spreading dirty rumors about me!

If not for the fact that this storyteller had merely believed the rumors of that damned Xue Divine Physician, Duan Yun might even have wanted to beat him to death.

After doing this, the non-vengeful Duan Yun felt much better.

Tonight, he should be able to sleep for the time being.

He had to hurry and find new divine-art manuals!
