Chapter 582: Chapter 582 - He’s Still My Honorable Teacher After All, I Don’t Want It Anymore

“You just need to kill him, that’s all.”

Li Celong said apathetically.

Princess Chi Lian beside him was shocked. “Is he really your Honorable Teacher?!”

“He is. But alas, he’s too useless. He can’t even cure Lady Leng Yue’s illness, which ruined my relationship with Ningyu in return. If he were truly capable, he wouldn’t have been unsuccessful in pursuing Lady Leng Yue for so many years. Otherwise, Ningyu would’ve been my partner by now.”

“Things wouldn’t turn out in such a manner as well.”

Li Celong uttered resentfully.

He looked coldly at the Honorable Teacher, who had taught him every skill he knew. “Besides, with his current strength, he won’t be a match for Chu Kuangren even if he manages to refine the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame fully. However, an outlawed sky-pride like you is different. You’ll even be able to fight Chu Kuangren once you refine this flame.”

“I want to make Chu Kuangren and Leng Ningyu pay!!”

Princess Chi Lian tutted in amazement. “You’ve completely renewed my understanding of how low humans can go. You’re very despicable indeed.”

“Hmph, don’t you forget, I’m doing this to help you as well.”

“Don’t worry. I’m well aware of your intentions. Once I’m done refining the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame, I’ll definitely help you get your revenge.”

Princess Chi Lian said while she lifted her hand and unleashed a palm attack towards Master Daoist Li’s back.

As his full attention was on refining the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame, Master Daoist Li’s awareness of his surroundings was the lowest at that moment. He did not expect anyone to enter this poisonous miasma-riddled swamp.

That sudden palm attack sent him flying as he vomited blood, critically injuring him within an instant.

“Who’s there?!”

Master Daoist Li’s expression changed when he saw Princess Chi Lian.

She emanated an incredibly strong spiritual power fluctuation that contained a unique surge of innate ferocious qi. It was clear that he was not a match for her.

Subsequently, he saw Li Celong standing nearby.

His figure moved in a flash and appeared in front of Li Celong. Without even turning his head, he said, “We need to go. This person is extremely strong. I’ll try to stall her as long as I can.”

However, before he could finish speaking, a sword thrust through his chest from behind.

Master Daoist Li looked at the sword’s tip on his chest with disbelief. “How…”

With a slash, the longsword was pulled out from Master Daoist Li’s body.

Li Celong then raised his hand and sent Master Daoist Li flying again with another palm attack.

Having been heavily wounded by Princess Chi Lian and being stabbed by Li Celong right after, Master Daoist Li was now lying on the ground on the verge of death.

“Celong, why would you do this?!”

Master Daoist Li could not believe his eyes. He stared at Li Celong, feeling confused and shocked.

“Don’t blame me, Honorable Teacher. You only have yourself to blame for being so useless, for not being able to help me defeat Chu Kuangren.”

“You… you d*mn traitor!”

Although Master Daoist Li could not grasp the sudden turn of events, he felt incredibly enraged and ashamed of his disciple’s betrayal. As such, he looked very depressed.

“Why don’t you send him on his way, Princess?”

“Can’t you do it instead?”

Li Celong sighed. “He’s still my Honorable Teacher, after all. I can’t do it.”

Princess Chi Lian was dumbfounded.

She had never seen such a shameless human before.

‘He thrust that sword into his teacher so smoothly, yet he’s saying he can’t do it?’

“Humans really are hypocrites.”

Princess Chi Lian snorted. She then released a surge of Red Serpent Poison Flame onto Master Daoist Li’s body.

Master Daoist Li was soon burned to ashes by the scorching poisonous flame.

Li Celong walked towards the scorched corpse and took the Yin and Yang ring from it. Sensing its contents with his mind, he let out a satisfied smile. “Being a physician for so many years has earned the old man a lot of rewards. Just as I suspected, there are quite a lot of treasures here.”

He took out a golden Jade scroll, which had mysterious runes carved all over it. “He even has an Emperor-grade Fleeing Light Talisman too.”

The Fleeing Light Talisman was a type of rune that could turn the user into a ray of light, enabling them to move about with extreme speed.

An Emperor-grade Fleeing Light Talisman was extremely rare.

That item was widely used as a means of escaping. Whenever this item was used, even an Emperor would not be able to prevent the user from escaping.

“I’ll start refining this Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame then.”

Princess Chi Lian could not help but feel incredibly excited when she looked at the crimson flame in front of her.

She placed her hand into the flame. In an instant, the wisps of flame entered her body through her hand.

As a wild beast specializing in poison flames, she could strengthen her divine power, the Red Serpent Poison Flame by consuming other poison flames.

That was why the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame could not even injure her at all. For someone like her, it was a great supplement instead.

“What pure and vast uncommon flame energy. This is wonderful!”

Princess Chi Lian was very delighted.

The Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame was an uncommon flame that was one of the highest-ranked natural uncommon flames in this world. For any cultivator that specialized in Fire-based Dao, an uncommon flame like this was a priceless treasure.

Although Princess Chi Lian had consumed several uncommon flames before, none of them could compete with the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame that she was now absorbing.

However, they were all similar in terms of energy purity and quantity. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just as Princess Chi Lian was absorbing the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame, a sudden streak of sword qi appeared. It tore through the poisonous miasma and sliced off her arm effortlessly.

Princess Chi Lian screamed and immediately retreated. Then, she turned to look at the source of the sword qi source with caution.

Being able to unleash a sword qi that could cut off a part of her wild beast body, that person must not be an ordinary cultivator.

Moreover, that sword qi was incredibly familiar to her as well.

“It’s him!!”

“It’s definitely him!!”

Princess Chi Lian stared at the poisonous miasma. Li Celong, too, was bewildered by what happened.

A figure then walked out of the poisonous miasma.

The person who came was wearing white robes with black hair flying in the wind. There were three stunning beauties with him as well.

Other than Chu Kuangren, who else could they be?

He looked at the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame playfully and chuckled. “The Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame, huh? This Opportunity of Fortune is truly worth letting you go in the past.”

“Why are you here, Chu Kuangren?”

Li Celong almost could not believe his eyes.

Why was Chu Kuangren everywhere they were?

Why did this person always have to appear and foil his plans?!

“Hold up. Letting me go? So you deliberately let me go in the past? But how did you get here?”

“Why don’t you take a guess?”

Li Celong went silent for a while before he felt his waist, the place where he kept the Queen Snow Jade Bug. “It was you who stole my missing Queen Snow Jade Bug all along!”

“Nice. At least you’re not that much of a fool.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “I simply used what you’re best at against you.”

“That palm attack in the past was not meant to kill me, but to inject the Snow Jade Bug powder into me!”

“That’s right. It’s the same bug powder that you injected into Sister Leng.”

Li Celong’s expression was incredibly unpleasant. He did not expect the method that he used to deal with Leng Ningyu would be used against him instead.

“You imbecile, that’s quite some trouble you’ve caused me.”

Princess Chi Lian gritted her teeth and glared at Li Celong. After that, she looked at Chu Kuangren and said, “Brother Chu, this is all because of Li Celong. He was the one who came to me, offering me the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame for my help in return. For every debt, there is a debtor. Since he’s the one who’s responsible for all of this, you should go settle this matter with him. I have nothing to do with this. As for this Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame…”

She looked at the Crimson Miasma Lotus Flame and said unwillingly. “I don’t want it anymore. Just take it, Brother Chu.”

She knew she was no match for Chu Kuangren, so it would be impossible for her to snatch the uncommon fire from him. Instead of going against him head-on, she might as well think about saving her life first.
