Chapter 344: Half Year Limit
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Qin Yun first felt shocked but after so thought he beca excited.
He had caught a big fish!
For soone with such a heinous aura to constantly conceal his status despite being so strong probably ant a huge conspiracy! Since he had discovered it... it also ant that he had discovered a threat preemptively. It was naturally good for his world to nip potential threats in the bud!
Old Master Chu was strong in a certain way, but that also ant treasures! Qin Yun was currently in desperate need of treasures!
"To make feel threatened at my strength and have such a mysterious origin... He probably has powerful and ancient treasures on him. Furthermore, I did catch a glimpse of his treasure haloes." Qin Yun nodded secretly. "However, now is not the ti to vanquish him. I have to understand what he’s conspiring to do by hiding here."
If Qin Yun went for an all-out attack, it would be very difficult to understand what he was planning even after capturing him alive.
"I’ll monitor him in secret for awhile first."
"Such a big fish is worth spending so much ti on him. I’ll give myself half a year." Qin Yun decided on his plans. "During this half year, I’ll monitor Old Master Chu’s every move and see what he is planning. If I can’t figure out after half a year... force cos to fore when the deception wears thin. I’ll vanquish him."
Qin Yun gave a ntal command.
Swoosh.
His Dao domain spread out and enveloped the entirety of Li Mountain City.
This ti, he deliberately avoided the city’s interior!
Due to the threatening feeling Old Master Chu gave him, Qin Yun knew it was likely that Old Master Chu had sensed him during his earlier Dao domain probe.
However, Old Master Chu indeed had a very brilliant thod of converging his aura! When he probed with his Dao domain the first ti, he did not discover anything special about Old Master Chu, leading him to think he was only an ordinary person. It was the Eye of Lightning divine power that found his secret. Therefore, Old Master Chu would likely continue concealing himself! What he observed through his Eye of Lightning proved this point.
"My present Dao domain will monitor the area outside the City. If he decides to leave, I will imdiately be alerted," thought Qin Yun. "It will just be a tough six months as I keep maintaining my Dao domain."
Prolonged maintenance of his Dao domain ant not a mont’s rest. However, at Qin Yun’s realm, he could handle not sleeping or resting for half a year.
...
Although Qin Yun had happened upon a huge catch, his original goal here in Li Mountain City was to seek out Immortal Cloudgrace’s cave abode. Therefore, he continued casting Eye of Lightning to search the city area by area.
"Sect Lord, the beauty is inside," a man with monkey features said obsequiously.
"Good! Take your leave first. I’ll be enjoying myself with the beauty," instructed a stalwart man.
"Yes." The monkey man imdiately took his leave obediently.
The stalwart man strode forward.
"A demon with such rich sinful auras. He deserves death!" Qin Yun frowned as he discovered the stalwart man with his Eye of Lightning. Previously, he had discovered a few demons when his Dao domain enveloped Li Mountain City. However, he did not go and kill them straight out. Instead, he would kill them only after confirming that they were fiendish demons... After all, there were good demons too.
For instance, Qin Yun had a good relationship with Skydemon Palace.
The stalwart man was a bear demon! He had an extrely dense aura of sin.
"Whoosh."
The stalwart man suddenly dissipated silently. Even his clothes and weapons were ground to dust, not leaving even a single drop of blood behind.
During the past fifteen years of traveling the world, Qin Yun would often vanquish fiendish demons in passing when he discovered them.
After spending more than five days scouring the city, Qin Yun finally observed the entirety of Li Mountain City with his Eye of Lightning. Unfortunately, Immortal Cloudgrace’s cave abode continued to elude him. Of course, Qin Yun had also killed five demons and spared three.
******
Following that, Qin Yun bought a mansion in Li Mountain City and took up residence for the next half year.
He brought his ancient tos with him and spent his days ti reading through them, scouring for clues. He also practiced his calligraphy as a way of cultivating his Sword Dao. However, no matter what he did, he would always pause to take the occasional look at Old Master Chu.
Finally, a month later.
"Stay guard here. Do not let anyone enter." Old Master Chu entered a yard in the Chu family manor.
"Yes." The old servant stood watch by the door.
Old Master Chu could enter any spot in Chu manor on his strolls but others were prohibited from entering his territory without his permission.
There was a wing-room in the yard.
"Creak."
Old Master Chu pushed the door open and entered. The instant he entered, his face transford into that of a cold sinister elder. His eyes suffused a dark red glow.
"What are you going to do?" There was a woman sitting in the room. When she saw the elder enter, she could not help but turn horrified.
"What do you think I’m doing?" chuckled the elder. His eyes were filled with a terrifying bloodlust.
The girl imdiately said in horror, "Old Master Chu hates any kind of misdeed. As a mber of the Chu family, Old Master Chu will not spare you if he learns of this."
"Our old master is a good person. Unfortunately, he can’t save you," said the elder with a chuckle as he pounced on her.
"No!" The woman let out a shrill.
However, there was an array formation set up in the Chu manor. The yard had been isolated so no noise escaped the room.
An hour later.
The elder walked out the room happily. And inside the room lay a woman clasping a blanket. She was covered in wounds and she remained motionless in her dazed state.
"That felt great." The elder smiled as his face changed into that of Old Master Chu.
"I have always been careful in this world, afraid of being discovered. Holding back my urges sure is hard. Unfortunately, these female human mortals can’t withstand much. If I didn’t need to abate my sins, I would have long killed her." Old Master Chu’s eyes were filled with bloodlust but he returned to his normal deanor once he ca to the yard. He calmly instructed the old servant beside him. "Sa old rules. Give the person inside to the servants. Let them share in my joy."
"Understood," replied the old servant with a smile.
"Bam!" They heard loud knocks coming from inside.
Old Master Chu knitted his brows and gestured for the old servant to investigate. The old servant ran in to check before coming out with a rather ugly expression. He whispered, "She committed suicide by slamming herself into a column."
"What?" Old Master Chu scowled. "People are so afraid of death; yet, she actually committed suicide?"
Having entrenched himself here covertly all this ti, Old Master Chu needed to relieve his urges from ti to ti.
However, to abate his sins, he would make use of his servants, letting them enjoy the kidnapped maniacally until she died. That way, the servants would bear most of the karma while he would only receive a tiny burden! As he had done nurous good deeds publicly, and actively abated his wrongdoings, he kept his sinful aura quite low.
The stronger one was, the better they were at withstanding the tribulations.
For instance, taking even the most ordinary mortal life had strong implications on karma but even that was still limited.
Only when it ca to people like Qin Yun, a mortal that had truly great rits and the blessings from providence were things different... It ant that the death of a hundred thousand ordinary mortals was inferior to the death of one Qin Yun. This made immortals afraid of provoking him. As for the frail woman, she was ordinary. Even if Old Master Chu had killed her personally, he was strong enough to bear the burden of the karma, much less that of her suicide.
Although the karma was relatively minor for suicide, the karma incurred was still greater than if his servants killed her!
Old Master Chu felt rather displeased.
"Clean it properly." Old Master Chu walked away with a grim expression. "How unlucky."
All humans sought to live.
Therefore, it was rather rare for victims of rape to commit suicide imdiately.
...
Qin Yun could not constantly monitor Old Master Chu all day. Instead, he probed him in intervals.
And this ti, it was already too late when Qin Yun noticed it.
When the woman committed suicide, her eyes were filled with a determination to die. Qin Yun sighed but did not try to stop her.
"Unfortunately, I didn’t discover it earlier. If I had, I could have imdiately implented my second plan to save her." Qin Yun sighed secretly as he continued staring at Old Master Chu. Although he burned with pangs of fury, he continued tolerating it. He knew very well that for such a terrifying existence to spend such a long ti keeping a low profile, his conspiracy against the Great Chang world could threaten billions of lives.
As for Old Master Chu, he was feeling extrely unhappy.
That afternoon, he left the manor with his servant in a carriage.
"He has finally left the manor after more than a month." Qin Yun watched from afar.
