Chapter 1537: Chapter 525_2
Four days later, Lu Qingyan not only recovered her condition but was just half a step away from breaking through the Second Rank in Body Refinement.
Lu Chensha handed over some supplies and defensive items obtained from previous hunts to Lu Ziyun, instructing her and the six people from Qingzhu Mountain and the Mo Family to hide here and wait for the Secret Realm to end.
Leave the rest to them.
“Chensha, Sister Yan, Mingfeng, be careful.”
Lu Ziyun knew Lu Yunfei and Lu Qingze needed care and nodded in agreement.
“Lu, don’t worry.”
The three from Qingzhu Mountain and the three from the Mo Family replied.
Previously, upon hearing Lu Chensha planned to hunt down the Shangguan Family, they were shocked and hesitant to go.
After all, fighting against a Core Formation Noble Family was intimidating for them.
They didn’t think they could contend with cultivators from such noble families.
“Alright!”
Lu Chensha said no more, and Lu Qingyan, Lu Mingfeng departed.
To quickly find cultivators from the Sima Family and Shangguan Family, Lu Chensha stepped forward to ask for directions whenever he heard movement.
Of course, if he didn’t like what he saw, he would kill on the spot.
With the spiritual attacks of the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider, few cultivators could withstand his lethal intent.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
Lu Chensha calmly slaughtered four people in an instant, like harvesting wild grass, and the blood stained the grass red.
The Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider devoured souls, while Iron Fire Ants, Ironback Mantises, and Thousand Legged Centipede gnawed on the corpses.
Such a scene sent chills down one’s spine.
Even Lu Qingyan and Lu Mingfeng were frightened.
“Chensha wouldn’t be affected by the Ghost Face Spider, would he….”
Lu Qingyan looked at Lu Chensha in a green brocade robe, with fair skin and dust-free, feeling heavy at heart and hesitated to speak.
In her early memories, this younger brother was taciturn and ordinary day-to-day.
After entering the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, he gradually showed exceptional qualities but remained low-key and indecisive.
But now, he seemed like a different person, decisive in killing.
No, this was not decisiveness, but vicious brutality!
Though the Cultivation World was about the survival of the fittest,
the Lu Family’s education leaned towards the righteous path.
Unless bullied to a point of no return, they wouldn’t cause trouble proactively.
Now, Lu Chensha killed at a slight disagreement, acting wantonly, making her suspect the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider had affected his mind.
After all, this Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider looked very sinister.
Her brother Lu Chensha subdued the Second Rank Monster Beast with Qi Refining Cultivation, paying some price, so being influenced in mind was normal.
“Chensha, if they are willing to hand over their gains, there’s no need to kill them.”
Lu Qingyan spoke.
“Sister Yan, if we don’t eliminate them cleanly, they might hold grudges and cause trouble for our family in the future.”
Lu Chensha’s Sea of Consciousness Hui God Worm was extracting soul power through the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider.
He tried to communicate with the Hui God Worm and Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider, to see if they could find information or traces of the Shangguan Family and the Sima Family from these people’s soul memories.
However, the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider was affected by Filth God Poison, lacking spirituality and couldn’t do it.
The Hui God Worm could, but was very inefficient, unable to quickly sift through for useful information.
“Better inform father later…”
Lu Qingyan understood this, sighed,
and decided to talk to her father about Lu Chensha’s situation once back, to prevent her brother from falling into the Demon Path.
…
“Daoist Lu, spare us. We know the Sima Family, and can send them a message now!”
One day, Lu Chensha and others encountered a family force.
Lu Mingfeng recognized this force as from an affiliated family under Profound Martial Ridge.
Under the three people’s slaughter, this family force pleaded for mercy, claiming to have a Sima Family Sensing Talisman.
“Alright, send a message to the Sima Family now, and I’ll spare you, and even give you a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.”
Lu Chensha spoke coldly, eyes full of killing intent.
Though worried about Lu Chensha breaking his word, these family cultivators dared not bargain and chose to send a message to the Sima Family.
“Daoist Lu, I’ve sent the message to the Sima Family, not sure if…”
After sending the message, the cultivator cautiously glanced at Lu Chensha.
“Okay, you may leave.”
Lu Chensha smiled and tossed a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
Yet, just as the two thanked him and were about to leave.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
The Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider and Iron Fire Ants suddenly lashed out, slaughtering both.
“Chensha.”
Lu Qingyan glanced at Lu Chensha, eyes questioning.
For her, since Lu Chensha promised to spare them, why go back on his word?
“Who knows if they were telling the truth? Besides, what if they send another message to the Sima Family once outside?”
“If they live and tell, it’ll definitely cause trouble when leaving the Secret Realm.”
Lu Chensha spoke softly.
With each kill, he felt increasingly indifferent to life.
Killing a few people bore no difference from killing a few ants.
“Chensha, your actions have strayed from the righteous path.”
Though Lu Qingyan knew Lu Chensha was right, she sighed.
Her brother had changed so much; she feared his mind was affected, sinking into the Demon Path.
“The righteous path?”
Lu Chensha paused.
“Cultivation is cultivating the heart, your mind has been influenced by power, you need to maintain your true self.”
Lu Qingyan advised gently.
Possessing power incites a desire to kill.
Cultivation is the process of taming the mind and restraining desires.
To her, Lu Chensha was now influenced by the Ghost Face Soul Devouring Spider, his mind uncontrolled.
Lu Chensha was startled, his face shifting.
He realized that after entering the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, his mindset had changed.
Each kill seemed to liberate him from shackles.
