Chapter 2703 - 39: Turmoil on Flower Street (2)

In the courtyard north of Mo Yun City.

A bloody massacre had just ended.

Chai Asi leaned against the wall, exhausted, using an iron sword for support. For a moment, all he could do was catch his breath.

The Heaven and Earth Sinking Secret Sword Technique was something he was very familiar with.

Under the guidance of the Ancient Divine Venerable, he used only three moves to effortlessly kill Yuan Yong, a double-flowered red rod level member of the Fruit and Flower Club.

And with the Ancient Divine Venerable observing the whole process.

He fought Yuan Yong’s two subordinates to a tough standstill, narrowly escaping death...

"Not bad."

The praise from the Ancient Divine Venerable echoed in his mind.

Chai Asi suddenly regained his spirit.

He knew well enough that his performance during the fight wasn’t stellar, but upon self-reflection, he had indeed given his all.

Grinning, he said, "All thanks to the Supreme’s excellent guidance."

"What are you planning to do next?" the voice in the mirror asked.

Chai Asi paused and said, "First, dispose of the bodies."

"And then?"

"Pack up and run." After killing Yuan Yong, Chai Asi had clearly thought through this matter sincerely. At this moment, as he gazed around the home he had lived in for many years, he felt a sense of reluctance to leave.

But for a man, the world is his home. With the Ancient Divine Mirror in hand, what can’t be done, where can’t he go?

The aftermath of Yuan Yong’s matter was hard to handle, so better not handle it; just runaway instead.

"Can you get away?" asked a certain Ancient God surnamed Jiang.

It must be said, such bloodshed truly had a significant impact on a demon’s life.

Before the bloody battle, Chai Asi was timid and weak, unable to speak up. But after slaying three demons, a trace of bravado began to emerge.

He answered seriously, "Supreme, the Little Monster has considered this. Yuan Yong came out to extort money, so he definitely wouldn’t want it widely known. Bringing only two subordinates also indicates this. Plus, I live in a very remote area; probably no one knows Yuan Yong came to my house, let alone that I could kill him. As long as I clean up the bodies, there will be ample time to escape. I’m not a key figure, leaving the city empty-handed, no one will care."

Understanding and perception were part of his life experience, essential for survival as a Little Monster. He was actually quite familiar with the local leaders around here.

Yuan Yong was fierce and solitary, and within the Water Curtain Hall he was known for being merciless, only seeking wealth. If he disappeared for a few days, probably no one would pay attention.

By the time Water Curtain Hall’s investigation reached here, Chai Asi’s shadow would be long gone.

So what if it’s the Fruit and Flower Club? What if it’s the Moyun Ape Family?

The Monster Realm is so vast, can they plow through it all?

The voice in the mirror asked, "Where are you planning to escape to?"

"Divine Fragrance Flower Sea!" Chai Asi confidently replied, "The shop I frequently sell medicines to is a branch from the Divine Fragrance Flower Sea, very honest in business. I’ve long inquired about the situation there and am quite familiar with it. Run there, hide my identity, things will surely be calm! After ten or eight years, maybe I can return."

The Ancient God in the mirror was silent for a moment...

This little dog demon had quite a comprehensive plan, even planning to run to Divine Fragrance Flower Sea.

Isn’t that moving farther away from the Civilization Basin?

Moreover, if you view "Heavenly Will" as a pool of water, if the surroundings of you, Chai Asi, are too calm, wouldn’t the minor ripples brought about by me, an outsider, become too conspicuous?

"What about the leader of the Jin Yang Terrace martial contest?" the voice in the mirror asked.

"What about Zhu Lanruo?" the voice in the mirror further asked.

"What about your home?" the voice in the mirror continued asking.

The soul’s three questions swept down, and the excitement from just killing the demon instantly vanished.

Chai Asi’s expression became dejected, the gleam in his eyes dimmed, he slowly lowered his head, and began to powerfully and slowly pound his forehead: "But... but what can be done?"

"Don’t be upset, don’t panic. Think hard, has the situation become unredeemable?" said the voice in the mirror patiently: "Since ancient times, no demon could escape the two words of fame and fortune. In doing anything, we need to consider these two aspects. Specifically concerning Yuan Yong’s situation, it involves a reason and a value."

First discourage, then encourage. First confuse, then guide towards a path.

This is the wonderful method of passing on knowledge.

Why was the Church of Lifeless able to develop so quickly? Naturally, because it grasped people’s hearts.

"Fame and fortune?" Chai Asi’s eyes were blank: "A reason? Value?"

This dog demon was too foolish and naive; the great Ancient God could only patiently guide him: "Why don’t you ask yourself a few questions... Do you have a reason for killing Yuan Yong? Is there a reason that the Fruit and Flower Club could forgive you? Secondly, what does the Fruit and Flower Club need? Is it Yuan Yong as a demon, or a compliant and capable chief? Can you replace Yuan Yong’s value?"

The great Late King Emperor Wu of Qi had publicly talked about the two words "fame and fortune," accepting these words as important tools for influencing people. There is a famous saying: "How difficult is it to drive life and death? It’s nothing but pursuit of fame and fortune. I don’t seek the loyalty of heroes throughout the world to me, but rather that when heroes from around the world arrive, they can achieve glory and gain!"

Regarding this, in "Thousand Beauties of All Countries," there are also more specific descriptions.

Marquis Wu An of Daqi, keen and studious, had naturally studied this in detail. With a slight extrapolation, it became a revelation to the little dog demon.

Chai Asi suddenly lifted his head, evidently enlightened: "I killed Yuan Yong, proving I’m more capable than him. As long as I sincerely pledge allegiance, I can replace Yuan Yong’s value, which is ’fortune,’ and it’s a great fortune. I can also use some money to smooth out the relevant channels, as a supplement to the fortune, serving as a minor gain."
