Join us!

not edited yet >.< there’s also been a minor change in terminology; I’ve changed da shixiong to the title Eldest Senior Brother. Chapter 54 has already been updated with this change 🙂 thank you to neko for helping me out with last-minute proofreading!


At such a critical moment, a loud sound echoed in the air. Shao Ci suddenly woke up, and he realized the gates of the dwelling had been forced open, causing the sound. aeFEu4

So it was just a dream…. He knew that it would be impossible to see the critical moment in a dream like this, but why did he have to get cut off this way! He had a feeling that he was going to see a disaster.

Besides, this was the eldest inner disciple’s residence! Wasn’t there any problem with someone randomly breaking in at night! And the defense arrays were way too awful….

Chrysanthemum Garden.

When Si Wuxing had been disdainful of the array, it was solely because his skill with arrays was too far above Ge Xiuwen’s. However, he was afraid that if he adjusted them, someone would see through him. Additionally, there was no way that someone in the Igniting Star Sect would break into Ge Xiuwen’s residence. This was the only reason that he allowed the arrays to be left in place.

The sound of a few voices in conversation floated over. OxzmT5

“Will Eldest Senior Brother really not mind it if we break in?”

“It’s fine. I’ve asked around. Eldest Senior Brother went to the treasure pavilion and he won’t be back for the time being. It’ll be alright as long as we push everything onto the managing teacher in charge.”

“You’re right. In any case, right now we have to sacrifice this attendant. Entering without permission is nothing in comparison.”

“We can finally make that damn attendant disappear. My anger is going away just thinking about it.”

Shao Ci: “!” Fuck, why was he in a sacrifice plotline all of a sudden? As expected, Si Wuxing was acting too ostentatious in their day-to-day life.

He knew perfectly well that he wouldn’t be able to hide. He had no choice but to walk forward, and the inner disciples immediately pointed their swords at his neck.

“Hmph. You heard what we just said, didn’t you?” Ran Sheng sneered coldly. “Right now, you have two options. First, you can die now. Second, you can be a sacrifice. Which one do you choose?”

“Senior Brother, does he know what a sacrifice is?” iUIg4k

Shao Ci: “…” Of course he knew what a sacrifice was. Still, these guys were putting so much effort into silencing someone.

Ran Sheng said, “I don’t care if he knows or not.”

Shao Ci was filled with cold sweat with the icy blades at his neck. Since he was a puppet, he probably wouldn’t be able to survive if his head was hacked off. He couldn’t waste his revives on something like this. He immediately said, “I choose the second option.”

By the way, was it really no problem to sacrifice someone so randomly? Wasn’t it that only people with broken souls would be able to patch up the immortal sovereign’s incomplete soul…. Well, he wasn’t a member of the Igniting Star Sect, so what was he worrying about this for? brYNWL

Shao Ci was forced to change into an elementary disciple’s clothes and followed the rest of them out.

During the day, the Igniting Star Sect exuded an ethereal aura. For some reason, today it had more gloomy energy. Even the bright moon in the sky was dyed red.

Shao Ci was starting to get scared, but Ran Sheng and the others were already used to it, and they quickly arrived at the open square at the halfway point of Immortal Mountain where several disciples were already gathered.

There was a drastic difference in the treatment of inner and outer disciples and high-level and elementary disciples of the Igniting Star Sect. There was even a strict difference in their clothes and all kinds of other aspects. cJOEfC

After all, to the Igniting Star Sect, only their core disciples could be considered their true disciples. The others were all here to be sacrificed.

Thus, Shao Ci could tell at a glance that the most of the people gathered in the square were elementary disciples. At the side, there were a few managers keeping watch. They wouldn’t let these disciples run away.

Most of these elementary disciples were ignorant. The techniques they cultivated with would eventually make their bodies collapse, and 

make them easy to control. BJy7CO

In fact, they weren’t too different from puppets. They had no way to defy any random inner disciple’s orders.

When he saw Ran Sheng approaching, one of the managers immediately came forward to greet him. Although his cultivation was a bit higher than Ran Sheng’s, he was still fawning on him. “May I ask why you’ve come?”

“Hmph.” Ran Sheng said, “I brought someone to be sacrificed.

As he spoke, he pulled Shao Ci over from behind him. ui vqI

The manager immediately looked hesitant. “But this obviously isn’t an elementary disciple. If something happens during the sacrifice….”

“There’s so many people anyway, it won’t be a problem for one more person.” Ran Sheng looked indifferent. “Is it possible that Honored Sir would be affected by a mere mortal?”

“Yes, sir, you have a point.” The manager immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Anyway, if anything happens, you can just come looking for me,” Ran Sheng said, and left straight away. d o9Vp

The manager couldn’t do anything either. At first, he thought that there would be some benefit in Ran Sheng coming over; he didn’t expect that it would stir up such a mess.

He swept his gaze over to Shao Ci and said menacingly, “If you behave, I’ll give you a straightforward death.”

Of course, Shao Ci wouldn’t do anything at a time like this, so he quickly nodded and got into line.

When he looked at the cultivators around him, each and every one of them with expressions as stiff as a zombie’s, Shao Ci felt even more afraid. “!!” WznT2t

Ahhhh if things kept going like this, he would really be eating his lunchbox! Although he didn’t know whether or not a puppet could still be used for a sacrifice or something….

Now that he thought about it, what was Si Wuxing doing right now? He still hadn’t figured out something was wrong at his residence?

Even if Shao Ci wanted to shake off Si Wuxing, in these kinds of circumstances, only Si Wuxing could come and save him…. He really had no guarantees for his safety after coming into a cultivation world.

After some time, the managers seemed to have gotten some kind of order. They hurried the elementary disciples to walk to a cavern at the side, and Shao Ci similarly had no choice but to follow along. SETZ7H

The cavern was incredibly dark. The only light was from oil lamps that glowed an eerie blue from both sides. Shao Ci felt the yin energy around him grow even more dense. He had no idea why these Igniting Star Sect people didn’t just cultivate normally.

The number of those who died here was certainly no less than the number of people who would have died on a battlefield. If their soul weren’t sacrificed, this place would definitely be haunted…

After walking for a bit, a large set of doors appeared in front of them. Normally, it was sealed by an array, and could only be entered on the day of a sacrificial ritual.

A few of the managers did something, and the doors opened on their own. After they walked in, the doors closed after them. 0aHZfB

Shao Ci stared at the doors behind him, and his heart sank a little. Even if he could run, he couldn’t open those doors.

The air was brimming with tendrils of coldness. Everyone else was a cultivator, and they had spiritual energy to protect their bodies, so they didn’t feel anything at all. Only Shao Ci was freezing. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid of drawing someone’s attention and dying even faster, he would have hugged himself and started trembling. Oyb2Gc

It was all because of Si Wuxing’s weird hobbies. Shao Ci couldn’t figure out why he had to give a puppet five senses….

Besides, Shao Ci didn’t think Si Wuxing had many feelings for him. A puppet was like furniture; who would like furniture lying around in their house? At most, they would like it the way they would like a toy.

When he followed the wave of people for a few more steps, Shao Ci realized that there were railings on both sides of the cliffs, and behind the railings were many people. It was obvious that there was another exit here.

The people standing behind the railings were all higher-ups in the Igniting Star Sect. Their stares were fixed on the ice coffin with excitement. vNO9xF

Shao Ci wondered whether or not it would be difficult to be so excited for every sacrifice…. It wasn’t like the immortal sovereign would revive right at that moment.

According to the plot in the original novel, the things that the Igniting Star Sect did were exposed due to all the ruckus the original protagonist caused. Everyone refused to believe it, but the beauty with Shao Yuezhao came out personally to publicize everything.

Immediately, the cultivation world flew into an uproar. Even if many disciples had died in cultivation sects due to internal struggles, there were none that would use their disciples as sacrifices in the same way.

Immediately, everyone thought of the Igniting Star Sect as an evil cultivation sect. Many of the clans and sects who had good relations with them in the past hurried to clean up their relations. It was lucky that the Igniting Star Sect didn’t allow their internal disciples to intermarry with outsiders, or they would probably have many tragedies of couples breaking up. dg6Fv3

Many righteous cultivators wanted to come with troops. Of course, most of them wanted to take the opportunity to scoop up some of the gains.

But the shocking thing was that the Igniting Star Sect disappeared the next day, even the entire mountain. The only thing left in its place was a huge hole that was quickly filled in by the seawater from the North Sea.

There wasn’t a single person who knew where the Igniting Star Sect went.

And there was no follow-up about what happened to the immortal sovereign. Maybe the author had wanted to do some foreshadowing, but they forgot about it after they cast the shadows…. 9WqZMg

Still, he couldn’t completely rely on the plot from the original novel. The world would automatically fill in the things that weren’t mentioned in the novel. It would even come up with some completely irrelevant things for the sake of rounding out the plot.

For example, that stuff that offed Shao Ci in the last world about how the crown prince was actually a Zerg.

When the cultivators above them glanced over, their gazes were as if they were looking at ants. Their lives meant nothing to those cultivators. Soon, an old woman spoke. “It’s time. Let’s begin.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd of cultivators lifted their hands, forming hand seals. After some time, after a thin layer of sweat covered their foreheads, a butterfly-shaped light finally emerged from their hands. YMp8Z9

The light dispersed into the array, and immediately the array began to glow. Light flowed along the lines of the array, but it was a dark color completely different from the blood red that Shao Ci had dreamed of.

A manager clapped the elementary disciple at the front of the line. “Go.”

Terror and unwillingness suddenly flashed across the elementary disciple’s vacant face, but his body continued forward without his permission, walking into the array.

After he stepped into the array, all of the unwillingness on his face faded. Instead, his face filled with a frenetic energy. He muttered something under his breath, his eyes closed tightly. vH5Tqy

In seconds, his body turned into a flurry of red lights, sinking into the array. His clothes fluttered in the air, disappearing into ashes before it could reach the ground.

A living, breathing person was completely dead, just like that. His life had been exchanged for a section of the ground turning crimson red.

One after another, disciples continued forward. Everyone was completely silent. They didn’t say a word. They just kept sending themselves to their deaths, and the lines of the array began to light one by one.

At first, Shao Ci wondered why no disciples fought back. Now, he guessed that they had no control over their bodies after they entered the array. eQdhvV

Shao Ci had a feeling he might be eating another lunch box. Besides, because his damn capture target was still Si Wuxing, even if he revived, he would revive at his side….

Even if he had four revival opportunities, he couldn’t waste them!

“No…. I have to figure something out.” Shao Ci glanced around anxiously, thinking of everything he knew about the Igniting Star Sect from the original novel, trying to find a chink in the armor.

Suddenly, there was someone ahead who broke stiffly through his restraints. He shouted, “No, I won’t go! You’re forcing me to send myself to my death! What kind of great sect would send their disciples to death? What a joke.” cq9inV

Under the sudden stimulus, the vacant disciples jolted back to their senses. One by one, they began to struggle, cursing out the Igniting Star Sect.

“I’ve worked long and hard to cultivate since I entered the sect! I never thought that in the end I’d unexpectedly meet this kind of end! You’ve put me in such sorry straits!”

“If I knew I would never try and cultivate! Staying right at home is way better than dying this way!”

There were also a few people who tried to fight back, but the managers immediately knocked them out. co16lx

“So arrogant,” one of the old women on the cliff snorted. “When our Igniting Star Sect accepted you people with broken souls as our disciples, we saved your lives. Otherwise, you guys wouldn’t even be able to live until adulthood. You can forget about growing up to become so lively or having the ability to cultivate.”

Shao Ci: “!” Hey, you didn’t say this at all when you accepted them as disciples, but you’re saying it after they’ve already cultivated for so long! And you even act like you’re so reasonable…

“It’s time for you to repay all the things we’ve given you.” As the old woman spoke, she lifted her arm to point into the distance. “Imprison.”

Immediately, everyone turned silent. Their mouths were still open, but they couldn’t make a single sound. When they tried to struggle, they realized that they would feel a stabbing pain as soon as they used spiritual energy. P7XIMn

Slowly, the people who had regained consciousness settled back into a daze, their eyes dimming, and fell back under control.

Shao Ci: “….” Forget it, he should stop thinking about running away. He should think about how he would be able to die faster instead.

Although there were many elementary disciples, they were no match for the speed of sacrifice. Soon, it was almost Shao Ci’s turn.

The array before him was already mostly complete. As long as they sacrificed a few dozen more people, they would be able to complete this sacrificial ritual. vulbTE

“Dammit.” Shao Ci had already given up. He was ready to take revenge on society.

When it was Shao Ci’s turn, he pretended to be controlled, slowly walking to the edge of the array.

The moment he stepped onto the array, an illusion flashed before his eyes.

It was a resplendent immortal palace. There were countless gorgeous maidservants dancing gracefully and delicacies arranged around the room. A bewitching immortal’s tune rang in his ears. TR7q3i

It was as though he just had to take a step forward to enter that world, and he would be able to ascend immediately. He would never have to work so hard to cultivate ever again.

If he was an ordinary disciple who used the Igniting Star Sect’s cultivation techniques, he would have even less resistance to the illusion. The array would work in concert with the technique, using his own energy to suck away his soul.

But Shao Ci had never cultivated with the Igniting Star Sect’s techniques, so he quickly broke free of the illusion. Nobody around him noticed.

“…This is it.” Shao Ci suddenly strode forward. The array began to distort as though it was being affected by his actions, bursting with light. KGiCrV

Because of the strange force of the array, Shao Ci’s body immediately absorbed the energy from the light, but nothing happened to his soul. Shao Ci finally remembered that his soul was under the system’s protection, and he immediately relaxed. He propped himself up, slowly inching towards the ice coffin.

The surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.

“How did he break free of the illusion?”

“No! Quick, stop him!” oZe9da

“We can’t let him keep moving forward! This will alarm Honored Sir!”

“Wait. This doesn’t seem to be an elementary disciple,” someone suddenly said. “He looks completely unfamiliar to me.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The chief’s expression turned ugly. “Who brought this person here?”

Ran Sheng immediately stood up, his face indifferent. “Father, I brought him.” zqH jS

“You…” The chief of the sect was furious. At first, he wanted to call the person a traitor, but when he saw his own son’s triumphant expression, he couldn’t keep speaking. He wished he could throttle Ran Sheng.

But when he thought about how Ran Sheng was the only child that his cultivation partner had left behind, the chief suppressed his fury. He asked, “Who is this?”

“Nobody important,” Ran Sheng said casually. He didn’t think there was anything serious. “This is just a cultivator’s attendant. Even if he survived for now, what else can he do?”

The managers below them were just as stunned by the mishap. They immediately tried to go in to grab onto Shao Ci, but as soon as they stepped into the array, their faces turned pale, and their entire bodies crumbled, dissolving into lights that the array swallowed up. 16wIcH

Because the managers had much higher cultivation than the elementary disciples, the array returned to being almost complete in moments.

“Damn it! Entering the array while it’s activated will suck you dry of your energy.”

“What’s up with this guy? How was he able to ignore the power of the array?”

“You traitor! Look at what you’ve done!” The chief flew into a rage when he saw what was happening. He swung a hand across Ran Sheng’s face. UpZrkw

Ran Sheng clutched his cheek, at the chief of the sect with outrage. “It’s just a small problem, but you hit me? You’re not my father anymore!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away. The rest of his pale-faced followers didn’t have the guts to leave, and had no choice but to stay where they were.

The chief was infuriated by his disobedient son. At first, he thought his son was just a bit willful. Now, it was obvious that he didn’t even have a brain. He knew he shouldn’t have been so indulgent these years.

The chief looked at Ran Sheng’s followers, his expression icy. “Spit it out. What exactly is this person’s identity?” aDzSmu

Their faces turned pale. They weren’t like Ran Sheng, who was spoiled until he ran wild. They knew perfectly well that they were in a dangerous situation. If they didn’t explain all the details, they might not even be able to keep their lives. Immediately, they said, “This person is Eldest Senior Brother’s attendant.”

“Ge Xiuwen?” Everyone’s expressions changed. Ge Xiuwen was the sect’s hope. He was a person of incredible talent. If he was a traitor….

The chief turned grave. “Explain in more detail.”

“When Eldest Senior Brother came back a few days ago, he brought an attendant from outside,” a few people said. They suddenly remembered something, and quickly explained, “Ever since then, Eldest Senior Brother has been in poor condition. He treated this attendant especially well.” lX6ZTO

“Right! But he’s just an attendant without any cultivation. I don’t know how he managed to win Eldest Senior Brother’s favor.”

“This guy must be a spy that another sect sent!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“But how could Eldest Senior Brother help this attendant? It couldn’t be that he’s also….”

When Ge Xiuwen’s master heard the topic switch to his beloved disciple, he hurriedly said, “Wen’er would never betray our sect! He must have been misled by this attendant.” Iz5pVG

The chief said in a low voice, “Right now, we need to focus on dealing with this person before we think about something like that.”

They had so many people that anyone could reach out and strangle Shao Ci easily. The problem was that Shao Ci was standing over a precious array. If the spiritual energy fluctuated violently, causing something to happen to the array and even affecting Honored Sir, they would never be able to bear the consequences.

But if they suspended the array, it would be affected. If it didn’t absorb enough broken souls, and the array was forcefully stopped, it would suck in the souls from all of the surrounding people. It would make the circumstances incredibly dangerous.

The elderly woman spoke frankly. “Send all of the elementary disciples to be sacrificed! When the array has finished absorbing them, we’ll be able to deal with this fellow naturally.” e2JXw8

It was as though the managers suddenly remembered. They immediately pushed all of the vacant elementary disciples into the array.

Although this method would cause the array to absorb relatively more impurities, there was no other way.

As soon as the disciples entered the array, their bodies were swirled into a flurry of lights like a tornado, disappearing at a stunning speed. Even the elders who had seen countless sacrificial rituals were shocked.

“Wait, things have taken a turn for the better…. Look….” one elder suddenly said. MmIEZw

They only saw that Shao Ci had already walked over to the ice coffin, but he was growing weaker and weaker. Finally, he fell powerlessly at the side of the coffin.

Everyone knew that the ice coffin was crafted from Millennium Ice. Even if he happened on some dumb luck and arrived before the ice coffin, as a mortal without any cultivation, he would be completely frozen as soon as he touched it.

Shao Ci laid on the ground, panting. He knew very clearly that the immortal sovereign had to be inside the coffin. No matter what, he would decide what to do after he saw the immortal sovereign’s face.

Shao Ci reached out to support himself on the ice coffin. 1MLdsw

Each of the members of the Igniting Star Sect watched on. They could practically envision how this arrogant know-it-all would be frozen to bits when he touched the millennium ice.

But several moments passed…. Nothing they imagined happened. It was as though Shao Ci was touching an ordinary ice cube.

Shao Ci didn’t even feel the cold himself. He was a bit surprised, and he wondered if the ice coffin might be made out of some strange ice that wasn’t cold.

But what nobody knew was that it suddenly turned cold outside. Frost congealed on Immortal Mountain, and many cultivators under the mountain suddenly found that the air had turned several degrees colder. They wondered what had happened. BWOQRi

All of the elementary disciples had been sacrificed. The entire array exploded in blinding light. It was a sign of success.

And Shao Ci finally saw the person laying in the ice coffin.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

It was a young man with gorgeous features. His skin was so fair it was almost translucent. His silvery hair spread loosely over his forehead. His eyes were gently shut, as though he would wake up at any moment.

But Shao Ci knew perfectly well that it was just a corpse. Otherwise, the system would prompt him to switch capture targets. 9YBDRe

Moments later, the young man’s eyelashes suddenly trembled gently.

Shao Ci: “!?” What did he just see?

The young man’s aura steadily built up. Everyone outside was so crushed by the power that they couldn’t lift their heads. Only Shao Ci, watching the young man with his head lowered, was still okay. He could only feel a bit of pressure on his body.

[Beep beep beep… Detected a more powerful character… Beginning to change capture targets in accordance with the system’s regulations… Change complete. The current capture target is Ling Wangchen.] ifcn6V

Shao Ci: “…” Fuck!! Ling Wangchen!!!

Shao Ci had no idea if he should be shocked about this person suddenly waking up or if he should be shocked by the name Ling Wangchen.

In the latter sections of the original novel, when Shao Yuezhao was in a hidden realm, he found an honorable immortal’s records; that honorable immortal’s name was Ling Wangchen.

How could the Igniting Star Sect be reviving Ling Wangchen? There wasn’t just a small difference between an immortal sovereign and an honorable immortal. An ordinary immortal sovereign could be revived by sacrifices after a few thousand years, but an honorable immortal… vjlqxi

An honorable immortal could probably revived by feeding someone with cultivation as high as the sect chief after tens of thousands of years.

[After examination, it has been determined that the corpse here is not Ling Wangchen’s original body. It is a body that the founder of the Igniting Star Sect produced naturally from a broken soul by using secret techniques.]

Shao Ci: “…” So this Ling Wangchen was actually just part of the honorable immortal? How awesome…. He could actually be at such a level.

Despite being only a part of Ling Wangchen, his strength was enough to crush most of the cultivators in the cultivation world. Who knew how powerful he would be if he was revived as one whole? S3PB6I

While Shao Ci was oohing and ahhing, Ling Wangchen’s eyes opened fully. His pale blue eyes were like chips of ice, but when they saw Shao Ci, they had a hint of laughter.

Shao Ci was incredibly nervous. He didn’t know whether or not the person in front of him would reach out to kill him or something if he was unhappy. After all, people who were so strong usually didn’t have very good personalities.

Although Ling Wangchen looked like he was in a good mood, there were plenty of crazies who looked happy even when they were killing.

When the radiance faded and everyone saw Ling Wangchen had actually opened his eyes, everyone was stunned. They were too excited to control themselves, falling to their knees one by one and forgetting all about Shao Ci. xAoTfn

This was the result that the entire Igniting Star Sect had worked towards for thousand of years. The chief was ready to tear up. He imagined how Ling Wangchen would bring their sect to glory.

But at that moment, a figure walked in slowly from the entrance.

His expression was dark, but because he was always so cold, nobody could tell anything was wrong.

When he saw Shao Ci in the middle of the array, Si Wuxing’s expression turned even more ugly. XgAUxb

He had only gone to take a New Moon Elixir. He didn’t expect that he would come back to something like this. It was lucky that nothing happened to Shao Ci, or he would have to bury the entire Igniting Star Sect with him.

Si Wuxing glanced at the person in the ice coffin vigilantly. He could sense clearly that the person inside was much stronger than him, and his strength was even growing continuously. It was probably the person that the Igniting Star Sect had been struggling long and hard by hook or by crook to revive.

“I can’t forget about things like this.” Si Wuxing’s mind turned over, and the surrounding black fog dispersed.

Before the people around him could react, they were completely enveloped in the black fog. They let out terrifying screeches. fiTQvw

Everyone was stunned. There was someone who questioned, “Eldest Senior Brother? What are you doing?”

“I’m not your eldest senior brother.” Si Wuxing smiled coldly, and his original face showed itself. The fog dispersed and quickly filled the space.

“You” Even the chief of the sect had a hard time fighting back against the strange black fog. Many inner disciples were given severe injuries from its sharp bites.

Underneath them, Shao Ci didn’t notice what was happening around him at all. He was staring at Ling Wangchen blankly. Qdn6eE

A tendril of black fog suddenly curled towards Shao Ci. Everything happened quickly; Shao Ci had no time to react before he was pulled in by the black fog.

“Let’s leave now.” Si Wuxing caught Shao Ci, glancing behind him vigilantly. The black fog immediately covered them.

Besides its destructive ability, the black fog could also move quickly. In moments, the two of them had already flown out of the sect.

The members of the Igniting Star Sect were finally able to react. “That wasn’t Eldest Senior Brother!” LGpaf

“I never thought that he would manage to mix in with our people!”

“Then Eldest Senior Brother… is he…”

Some people who wanted to chase after them, but a strange power came from the ice coffin. In moments, it absorbed all of the spiritual energy in the air.

Compared to the escaped spy or their Eldest Senior Brother who could be dead or alive, the most important thing was the immortal sovereign. Immediately, everyone turned to look towards the ice coffin respectfully, getting down to their knees again. LCRze5

The sect chief looked at the coffin with incredible excitement. “Sir, you’re finally awake. We’re all your faithful servants. We await any of your instructions.”

“Mm.” The sound was flat and unemotional.

A gentle force filled everyone’s bodies, and they suddenly discovered that all of the injuries on their bodies had been healed.

Ling Wangchen sat up slowly from the ice coffin, looking coolly at everyone around him. He said, “Chase.” wB0Upa


The author has something to say:

Beside the battlefield with someone else, Ling Wangchen still has his own battlefield

  1. Thanks for the update, and now there’s a new capture target!!! Can’t wait for the protagonist to show up and fight for Shao Ci!

  2. Low-key expected him to take the souls of the higher ups, because immortals live the solo life, iirc from other big bad powerful people in other stories, so “bringing sects power and glory” isn’t really going to be part of the agenda for Ling Wangchen and I want to see it happen 👀

    Thanks for the chapter! 😘

  3. Shao Ci: Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when I needed you?? And now I don’t need you, you take me away from my capture target!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
