Chapter 644: Losing Ten Billion

Time passed and three days had gone. The ‘Azure Mountain Peak’ was rumbling. Although the rumble could not be heard, one could still feel the Lunaette quake.

Some Powerhouses that were long lying dormant on the Lunaette have come one after the other to observe the movement.

“What’s happening?”

“Looks like two major Powerhouses making a change to Heaven and Earth,” someone frowned.

“How did that summit turn green? I remember this place being a vast land of nothing but Vitality. It’s supposed to the restricted zone for life,” another person continued questioning the situation.

“These are the tactics of those with power, unpredictable. We have just achieved Lake-Level and there is a huge gap in power between us. We have to continue keeping a low profile.

A group of Powerhouses started to have a discussion about the situation, A bald man in the mix stood out among them.

He frowned slightly and thoughtfully, smiling with disdain. He arms reached out towards the mountain’s peak and released a black aura.

Against the background of Lunaette’s gloomy environment, the black aura could hardly be seen. It sped towards the green peak of Mountain Azure upon release, like a venomous and cunning snake, choosing its victim to sink its teeth into.

“Stop,” someone voiced out.

All the passer-by Powerhouses gave a start at the interruption of the spirit and turned towards where the voice came from.

A man stood quietly in the air, good looking and refined, like a deity from heaven, a True Dragon of the earth.

“Hmph, you again. Why are you meddling with my affairs?” the bald man did not even turn his head.

“You devil, creating trouble wherever you go. What did you do? Confess now,” berated Vigilante A.

“Here you are being a busybody again. Aren’t they your enemies? I’m just helping them to face themselves truthfully in the future,” said Zhi Nan with disdain.

“You really are a devil that is always creating chaos, stirring up trouble. It’s an unforgivable act, heinous and full of sin…”

Zhi Nan turned to face him, looking Vigilante A in the eye, “Stop, stop… Can you change your use of the word? You’re always repeating the same thing. I prefer not to have this kind of subordinate in the future.”

“This is terrible, Mr. Rich Boss. This guy’s just like you. He’s being condescending to me…” Sir said gloomily.

“Why are you still speaking nonsense with him, just go up there and punch him,” Fang Ning was speechless.

“Of course, I am going to punch him, but this is just an apparition of him. I can only use words to weed him out. This is frustrating. I am but a young System with only 50 years of working experience, it’s difficult to hand this Old Devil who has lived more than ten thousand years….” Sir replied with disdain.

“Erm, you are definitely young, only one and a half years old. It’s quite strenuous for you to go up against this Old Devil. But I can’t deal with him either if he comes at me with that Black Aura, everything ends,” Fang Ning retreated.

“I didn’t ask you to face him. I’m going to get a few smart mouths from the Dragonic Penitentiary to help me strategize,” nagged Sir.

“Wow, you know to engage strategists. That’s a huge evolvement for you,” Fang Ning was stressed yet again. Sir’s demand for his services had obviously lowered.

“Yes. You are lazy and a coward, which is why I needed to get a spare,” Sir said indignantly.

“Erh, just listen to the way you talk, full of ambiguity,” Fang Ning was speechless yet again.

…

“Hmph, you hide your head yet reveal your tail. This is indeed the way of the devil. How dare a mere apparition create trouble. Are you too afraid to face this brutal life, dripping wet with blood with your true body? You can’t even compare yourself to a human warrior. You are letting down the great reputation of the Demon Saint. I’d suggest for you to change your name to Demon Tortoise…” said Vigilante A coldly.

“Haha, finally something new from you. Well, same to you,” Zhi Nan shook his head and said simply.

“Mr. Rich Boss, he is bullying me…” Sir protested his grievance.

“The person he is bullying is me! This bald donkey, I’m refusing to sink to his level and yet here he is directing the humiliation to me…” Fang Ning was furious.

He was the only person he knew that Vigilante A was actually Fang Ning. The words ‘same to you’ hurt Fang Ning in the right place.

“Erm, this devil does have wisdom. He has defeated with one simple sentence. What do we do now?” Sir felt better now that it realized that Zhi Nan was being mean to someone else.

“I’ve got it. You told me that you are already aware of his secret conspiracy. Question him about the vanquished sun. It would definitely destroy his plans. A far-sighted stratagem like this devil hates others messing up his plans.” Fang Ning came up with a brainwave.

“Yes, that is not bad,” Sir immediately took to the plan.

Vigilante A then faced Zhi Nan’s apparition, stating lightly, “Hey, Demon Tortoise, stop it with your insinuations. Your simple tricks won’t escape my eyes. There must be some conspiracy going on with your ordering your subordinates to research the Sun. Only thing is, all plots such as this will one day come to light. There is nowhere to hide, you are bound to fail.”

Zhi Nan’s apparition frowned at this statement and stopped his quips. It looked like Fang Ning’s idea had made him uncomfortable.

He snorted and slowly disappeared from sight.

“Stupid and short-sighted fellow. If this is your level of handling things, then I no longer am interested to acquire you as one of the Nine Demon Generals…”

“What a jerk. He had to be rude to me even before leaving,” Sir said with chagrin.

“Nothing much we can do. He hid too well. It will be difficult to kill him. Forget about it, you won’t really get mad anyway,” Fang Ning consoled it.

“I am really angry…Do you this guy is worth ten billion to kill?” Sir was talking about it as if he had just lost ten billion.

“Oh, I’ve totally forgotten about this. But it’s okay. We’re not the only ones watching his every move. The River God of Sky River and the Bodhisattva Spirit King will be my eyes and ears,” Fang Ning reminded it.

“That’s good. If he dares show up again, there is no need to encourage him to do good. I am 80% confident that I am able to kill him. I now have accumulated numerous experiences of trapping the enemy,” said Sir with confidence.

“That’s good,” Fang Ning affirmed.

…

“Vigilante A doesn’t seem to be against Azure Mountain,” Shang Ruoyu, who was wrapping up the process with the last step, turned and said to his wife. He had, of course, sensed what was happening at a distance.

“Yes. Seeing as he helped chase that Devil away, I will not hold my sister’s situation against him for now,” Qi Hui said half-heartedly.

Sir may not be afraid of the Great Demon Saint, but it did not mean that others were not.

After all, this was a character at the top of the Upper Realm’s superior beings chart. Even if he was a descended alter ego sent to the frontlines, the depth of who he was still frightened many.

Many demons, as well as those on the path, have gone against Vigilante A, only to end up caught or dead. He was the only one that had managed to not only survive but has gotten stronger with power.

“Sigh, judging by the way he is managing things, I don’t think this is his initial intention. Getting rid of the Great Demon Saint’s apparition must be the condition of cultivating the Path of Heavenly Punishment. This path is not an easy one to walk. Human beings are after all just humans and not from the Heavens. There will come a time when they will go against Heaven’s will. When that day comes, you will need to return however much you have gained from the Heavenly Axiom. His power does not belong to him, and that is his greatest weakness.” Shang Ruoyu sighed as he shook his head.

For a Powerhouse of his caliber, coupled with the ‘gift of premonition’ of his older brother, Shang Ruoyu was knowledgeable about the many different paths.

The ‘Path of Heavenly Punishment’ being cultivated by Vigilante A was, of course, an expertise of his.

With the help of the path, Vigilante A got stronger with every fight, as if the Heavens were also at this side. However, the world is a balanced place. All benefits came with loss.

For every favor gained from the Heavenly Axiom, one needed to repay it by a hundred times, even to the point of sacrificing yourself.

Middle-level cultivators may be envious of Vigilante A’s cultivation, but high-level cultivators on the path such as the both of them, did not care much about it.

Vigilante A was at most, just a henchman for the Heavenly Axiom, not worthy to be mentioned alongside independent cultivators such as them.

“I see,” Qi Hui replied thoughtfully at his words.
