Chapter 36: To Keep Another Hope

Sister Tuyet's expression changed and she intended to chase after him but was forced to retreat by the pressure of Elder Dinh's Nine Aquatic Sect. She had to watch helplessly as he took Doc Co Minh away from Nine Aquatic Sect.

- Why hasn't master come yet?

So Tuyet sighed and looked up at Van Hu Palace hidden in the clouds on the top of the mountain, her heart filled with doubts.

And right now at Van Hu palace, little Nguyet Nhi is standing in front of a middle-aged man in a green robe with an extremely dignified appearance. The girl's face was covered by a black mask filled with a sinister aura as if she had been picked up from the eighteen levels of hell, soaked in the flesh and blood of sentient beings.

- Nguyet Nhi, how are you feeling?

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt stroked little Nguyet Nhi's head and asked gently, his expression full of concern, without the slightest bit of self-interest.

Nguyet Nhi's big round eyes behind the black mask are closed, behind her back appear the shapes of two black demons standing still protecting her.

- The demon's mind has been completely controlled by Nguyet Nhi. Uncle Giang, this mask is truly magical!

Unexpectedly, this blue-robed middle-aged man was actually the most famous leader of Giang Tran, a man who only lost half a move to Luu Tong. Even though he lost four deities, he still safely retreated without risking his life. Today Luu Tong is missing, Giang Tran has probably recovered his old cultivation level. If it weren't for him sitting in command of Tu Hu Mountain, Nine Aquatic Sect would have long been torn apart by twelve other advancing forces.

- Uncle Giang, you said the Hu Than Nerve is poisonous, you must use this mask to cure it. So why do we still let our disciples practice?

Taking off her mask, Nguyet Nhi asked Giang Tran with an innocent look.

I only saw Giang Tran gently tap her forehead with his finger:

- Little child, at just a young age, you dare to question the leader of the religion?

Then he clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head, and looked up at the stone paintings depicting Master Van Hu in a great battle with the Chu Yu Empire heroes, sighed heavily, and said:

- My Nine Aquatic Sect has had a history of more than fifty-six thousand years since its founding by Master Van Hu. As time passed, although Nine Aquatic Sect did not decline, in general, it could never surpass the Ming Sect or Phong Loi Holy Land. If you sacrifice a generation of young people in exchange for sixty thousand years of splendor, would you say it's worth it? Loading...

- In the end, how many people have to be sacrificed?

Nguyet Nhi was just a child, she didn't understand what Giang Tran said, so she asked again.

- It's not much, three more people is enough...

Giang Tran sighed and rubbed the girl's head. Suddenly his eyes flashed with murderous intent. That was also the moment Elder Dinh led Doc Co Minh away from Nine Aquatic Sect.

- Elder Dinh, don't you know how to write the word dead?

Witnessing this fierce and murderous appearance of Giang Tran, Nguyet Nhi appeared extremely scared. Giang Tran seemed to feel the little girl trembling continuously under his hand, so he smiled and picked her up:

- Be good Nguyet Nhi, don't be afraid, soon I will reunite you with your brother...

Hearing the word "brother" mentioned, Nguyet Nhi immediately nodded:

- Nguyet Nhi will try to quickly cultivate to the level of nine gods as master wishes! I don't want my brother to have to protect me anymore, I will protect him...

Because she knew that Doc Co Minh had many enemies outside the cultivation world, from the moment she entered the sect until now, she has always practiced tenaciously. In her young mind, he is the last survivor of Hanh Hoa village and is also her only current relative.

- Nine gods! Doc Co Minh, you also have to work hard. Whether the Nine Aquatic Sect prospers or not depends on your efforts. When that day happens, sooner or later you will have to return here to find my mask!

Holding Nguyet Nhi in his arms, the corner of Giang Tran's mouth curled into a bone-chilling smile.

At the same time, at the Fire Circle in the heart of Tu Hu Mountain, a shameless black turtle was swimming freely in the lava, occasionally opening its tiny mouth and sucking hard, causing the true fire underneath to all fall into its stomach.

- So delicious, I haven't eaten true fire in a long time. However, this true fire is too weak, still far inferior to the heavenly fire. That year, I swallowed almost eighteen of the strongest heavenly fires in the world, and the taste every time I remember it really makes me nostalgic...

If someone listened to what the black turtle said, they would probably curse it for being paranoid and boastful. The flames in this heaven and earth are divided into two main types: pre-celestial fire and post-celestial fire.

The post-heavenly fire is the fire created by monks or demons using their cultivation base and magical powers. The strength and weakness will depend on the cultivation level of the creature who crafted it.

Natural fire is naturally formed fire, divided into earth fire and heaven fire. Earth fire is a type of fire born under the ground, using the five elements, four symbols, and all things to arise. And the heavenly fire formed in the air, using the main road as its base, was extremely terrifying. Even the Great Emperor, if unfortunately hit by the heavenly fire, would be in danger of his life. The karmic fire that King Yama uses is also a type of heavenly fire condensed by the karma of sentient beings, engraved into the great path in the void and formed.

- Ah, there is the fluctuation of a certain terrifying demon, at least reaching Heaven in the Emperor realm...

The black turtle trembled, used its fastest speed to rush into the crater, then ran quickly on all three legs to Doc Co Minh's cave. Although there was no fluctuation in cultivation power, the black turtle's speed was even several times faster than Doc Co Minh's when using Bach Bo Hong Tran.

- Damn it, I've seen a ghost! Unexpectedly, the vital energy in heaven and earth has been diluted to the extreme and yet a heaven-level powerhouse could appear... I have to go back and tell Tieu Minh Tu to pack up and leave here... Ah, he ran away first?

The black turtle looked at the two figures that had just rushed across the sky, suddenly stunned.

- Tieu Minh Tu, wait for me, I still have to suck your spiritual fluid to recover. I don't know how long it takes to meet an Eternal Being. If I miss it, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to recover in this life...

Having finished speaking, the turtle put its head down and chased in the direction Doc Co Minh had just flown away.

Elder Dinh pulled Doc Co Minh straight into the sky, stepped on a leaf-shaped Dao treasure, and flew at his fastest speed toward Chu Yu Empire.

Doc Co Minh screamed majestically because he was holding him tightly, causing his wrist bones to continuously break several times. If it weren't for him being a Longevity Body with sky-defying healing power, he would definitely have been crippled and become Duong Qua single-handedly.

- Huh, I thought you were a good person who didn't know what pain was!

Elder Dinh said coldly, the speed still did not slow down but became much faster.

- Senior, before I was blind and couldn't see the mountain. I accidentally offended you. Please forgive me... Take 2 minutes to read and follow! Sex will last 10 times longer than Adskeeper Men's Health

Because he had left Nine Aquatic Sect and didn't even see Giang Tran chasing after him to save him, Doc Co Minh began to fear that this elder Dinh would really attack.

- How many faces does your person have? Just now you dared to boldly say that you would beat me into a pig's head, but now you're so timid and scared?

- Senior, I actually have two personalities living in one body. Just now it was my evil personality that offended you, now that personality has been suppressed by me, I am the real Doc Co Minh, with a good personality, single-minded, respectful of superiors and subordinates, never now compromise with evil.

- If you speak any more nonsense, I will cut your tongue!

Elder Dinh squeezed his wrist again, causing the bones there to shatter.

- What do you want to do to me?

Doc Co Minh screamed loudly, struggling to stand firmly on the leaf-shaped flying magic weapon.

Elder Dinh turned his head back to look at him for the first time, a faint smile forming on the corner of his lips:

- Still asking? You killed my beloved disciple, now I force you to return another disciple?

Doc Co Minh was stunned and asked again:

- Are you joking, senior? I'm not a god so I can create another Vuong Luc?

Hearing him say that, Elder Dinh immediately became angry:

- Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid, don't you understand what I mean?

The old man stroked his beard and looked at the thousands of miles of white clouds in front of him:

- You are a Longevity Body, have strong bloodlines, and have the heart of a strong man. If you can't find a good disciple for me, then who can?

- So the senior was aiming for my bloodline. So it's easy to say, if I wait ten thousand years to get married and have children, I will definitely tell my children to worship their seniors as teachers!

Doc Co Minh patted his chest, making an extremely trustworthy appearance that made Elder Dinh spit out blood.

- I haven't even reached two hundred years of life. By the time you give birth, I will probably have turned into a pile of dry bones. You heard me clearly, with your genius you should have discovered an abnormality in the Hu Than Nerve. There are only two ways to resolve this shortcoming. One of them is to use Black Face, the magical weapon of the Nine Aquatic Sect to suppress your demonic mind. But forget this method. Once you return, you will be extremely dependent on it. Once you use it, it will be difficult to leave it. Just look at So Tuyet, she has to return to the teachings once a year to use a mask to suppress the demon mind, so life and death are completely controlled by Giang Tran, and one day he will devour her to complete herself.

- It turns out that Sect Leader Giang really wants to devour the geniuses in the sect!

Doc Co Minh was silent:

- Are elders like seniors involved in this? I heard rumors that you were involved in editing the Hu Than Neuron, turning it into a weak martial art.

At this point, Elder Dinh did not want to hide it from him, so he sighed and nodded:

- Fifty-sixty thousand years have passed, countless arrogant Nine Aquatic Sect have appeared, but no one has ever achieved the Great Emperor. After the meeting, we decided to sacrifice a generation of young people to fulfill Tuong Tran's needs, helping him break through to the Great Emperor, thereby helping our religion prosper for sixty thousand years.

It was a plan that was shocking enough to sacrifice countless talented people to help one person achieve the Imperial position. Doc Co Minh couldn't help but exclaim. One form transforms into ten thousand dry bones. Under the path of a strong man's enlightenment are countless other heroes who have to die. If you look from his perspective, you will see that Giang Tran is a great villain, but if he succeeds and leads the mighty Nine Aquatic Sect to shake up the human world for sixty thousand years, then he will become a hero in the eyes of his disciples of spears.

- Then why did you still lead me away from the True Great Path? Shouldn't I be locked up waiting for Sect Leader Giang to come and devour me?

Doc Co Minh smiled, his mocking expression made Elder Dinh also feel embarrassed.

- I have lived a long time, probably only inferior to those old monsters of the Ung Kiep scene in Chu Yu Empire. In this life, I have witnessed many talented people, but among them, Luu Tong stands out the most. He was so amazing, so domineering, that even the supreme genius in Northern Region died at his hands. But you, I don't understand why I can see his shadow from your actions...

His eyes moved toward the image of Tu Hu Mountain, which had now turned into a black dot on the horizon:

- If Giang Tran fails on that path, I want to leave Nine Aquatic Sect another hope...
