Burning the Bridge After Crossing It
"Anyone who dares to say that Tang Tianshu has obtained many pills will be killed by me!" Mu Ping'er said coldly, looking at Su Liyue, "Su Liyue, what do you say?"
Did you tie your own hands, or will Tang Tianshu cut off your feet?
"Hmph, I, Su Liyue, swear in heaven that I will haunt you even as a ghost!" Su Liyue roared, channeling her Spiritual Qi and flying towards Tang Tianshu.
"Holy crap! She's going to self-destruct her Primordial Spirit! Ping'er, save me!" Tang Tianshu was so frightened that he immediately ran behind Mu Ping'er.
Mu Ping'er frowned, "You're asking for it!"
A palm strike was unleashed!
Two silver needles pierced through Su Liyue's protective shield and went straight into her collarbone.
At the same time, a palm strike arrived, blasting Su Liyue more than ten feet away.
Thump!
Su Liyue fell heavily to the ground, but didn't utter a sound.
"Left Protector, did you go a bit too far?"
Although you obtained the Profound Fire Token Profound Fire Token, Su Liyue hasn't yet explained the Mnemonic for using it.
"Without the Mnemonic, it will take at least ten years to break the curse on the Profound Fire Token," the Right Protector said coldly.
"Hehe, don't worry, I didn't kill Su Liyue."
Even if Su Liyue doesn't recite the Mnemonic, I believe I will be able to lift this forbidden spell within five years.
Furthermore, the sect leader once said that whoever obtains the Profound Fire Token owns it.
"This Tang Tianshu is my furnace, and since he obtained it, this Profound Fire Token is naturally mine. Don't you dare have any other ideas..." Mu Ping'er sneered.
"Hmph, Left Protector, you're quite something. You set up a scheme that even kept from me."
"Tang Tianshu, go check if Su Liyue is dead. If not, drag her over and take her back to the dungeon." As he spoke, the Right Protector vanished in a flash.
"Left Protector, this..." Tang Tianshu looked at Mu Ping'er with a worried expression.
Mu Ping'er smiled, "It's alright, Su Liyue is already seriously injured, she can't hurt you at all."
besides...
"Remember, you are not allowed to call me by my given name from now on." Mu Ping'er took the Profound Fire Token and disappeared from the spot.
Tang Tianshu curled his lip and walked towards Su Liyue...
Looking at Su Liyue, who was motionless and bleeding from the corner of her mouth, Tang Tianshu frowned and said coldly.
"Hey? Are you dead?"
If you're not dead, stand up and come back to the dungeon with me!
Seeing that Su Liyue was still motionless, Tang Tianshu took out a pill and leaned close to Su Liyue.
Just as Tang Tianshu pried open Su Liyue's mouth with his fingers, intending to feed her the pill, he saw Su Liyue bite down hard.
Tang Tianshu immediately pulled his hand away and glared angrily at Su Liyue.
Su Liyue opened her eyes and spat a mouthful of blood onto Tang Tianshu's face.
Tang Tianshu was furious and raised his right hand to slap her, but in the end he didn't. "Hmph, I don't like hitting women."
"Why!
"Why?!" Su Liyue said sadly.
"No reason needed. Take the pill and get up quickly," Tang Tianshu said coldly. "I won't tell you about losing the Profound Spirit Pearl. And don't tell me about me obtaining the Profound Spirit Pearl or knowing the Profound Fire Token Mnemonic either."
If you behave yourself, your diet will continue as usual every five days. Otherwise, you'll experience the power of the Origin-Devouring Worm.
"You haven't been poisoned by the Origin-Devouring Worm, have you?"
"No, but I need to be careful that I don't get poisoned by the Origin-Devouring Worm later."
"Could it be that all the good things you've done for me these past five years, all the sweet words and vows you've made, were just lies?"
"It's all for obtaining the Profound Fire Token, for obtaining the Profound Spirit Pearl?"
"Hehe, there's truth to it and falsehood to it. There's no point in talking about it now..."
"You said you wouldn't lie to me..."
"I didn't lie to you. I promised to rescue you from the dungeon, but I didn't promise to rescue the Blood Yin Sect."
I did not break my promise.
"Why? Do you really want to be a member of the Demonic Sect? Don't you want to be a disciple of a righteous sect? Are you willing to be a furnace for a witch?" Su Liyue shed tears.
"Enough!" Tang Tianshu grabbed Su Liyue by the collar. "What righteous sect, what demonic sect!?"
Strength is everything!
Tang Tianshu smiled and said, "Right now, I just want to become stronger. I don't want to be an ant that can be slaughtered at will!"
Su Liyue, listen to me. If you want revenge, then live a good life.
I, Tang Tianshu, will avenge any wrong done to me and repay any kindness shown to me.
After all, you did give me the Mystic Profound Spirit Pearl as a token of your gratitude.
Once I successfully Foundation Establishment, I will save your Blood Yin Sect.
As for whether we will be enemies or friends in the future, only time will tell!
After speaking, Tang Tianshu carried Su Liyue on his back and headed towards the Blood Yin Sect...
I must leave the Blood Yin Sect no matter what.
Because Tang Tianshu witnessed the cruelty of the Blood Yin Sect, he felt that when his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and met the conditions for dual cultivation, he would become ashes and a dried corpse.
My cultivation level is too low now. If I leave the Blood Yin Sect and wander outside on my own, I will surely die. As for rescuing Su Liyue now and going to the Kun Origin Sect with her, I will not end up well either.
In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme. With only a Mediocre Spirit Root and a mere Qi Refining Fifth Layer, even if I went to the Kun Origin Sect, I would definitely only be a low-level disciple.
In order to improve his strength, Tang Tianshu cannot leave the Blood Yin Sect now, since he will receive some care here.
Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future.
Su Liyue is, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Kun Origin Sect. The fact that the Blood Yin Sect obtained the Kun Origin Sect's Law Treasure, the Profound Fire Token, shows that Su Liyue, or rather the Kun Origin Sect, lacked the ability to do so.
Stealing other people's Law Treasure is a very common thing in the cultivation world.
However, having obtained someone else's Law Treasure and then killing that person's holy maiden, the enmity would be immense.
Tang Tianshu then suggested that Mu Ping'er spare Su Liyue's life, as this would be a way of showing some mercy to the Kun Origin Sect, since the Kun Origin Sect was ten times stronger than the Blood Yin Sect.
Tang Tianshu also had his own reasons for not killing Su Liyue: when he left the Blood Yin Sect in the future, he could negotiate with the Kun Origin Sect.
Tang Tianshu didn't expect Su Liyue to forget her hatred and join the Kun Origin Sect.
However, Tang Tianshu believed that the Kun Origin Sect would agree to exchange Kun Origin Sect 'Su Liyue life for temporary protection and a few Law Artifact.
Otherwise, Tang Tianshu could continue to hold Su Liyue hostage and annoy the Kun Origin Sect, or he could give Su Liyue to other cultivation Kun Origin Sect, which would also bring him many benefits.
After all, it's extremely shameful for a sect to fail in protecting its own holy maiden...
"... Left Protector, your disciple has done a merit by helping you obtain the Profound Fire Token this time."
"My cultivation level is too low, so I won't go to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm, okay?" Tang Tianshu looked at Mu Ping'er and asked with a smile.
Tang Tianshu would never dare to covet the Profound Fire Token, no matter what.
Tang Tianshu's main purpose in contributing the Profound Fire Token was to avoid going to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm.
"Um.
You've really accomplished something great this time...
However, since the Right Protector, Qian Zekun, has already issued the decree ordering you to go, I can't interfere..."Mu Ping'er frowned, looking helpless.
What do you mean you can't interfere? Your cultivation is stronger than his, and your position is higher. I'm just a disciple at the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer. It's just a matter of a word for me.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; this is clearly a case of crossing the river and then burning the bridge!
"Left Protector, I'm only at the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer of Qi Refining. Going there would be certain death." Tang Tianshu looked utterly hopeless...
