Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 95: How Could There Be a Spy From the Righteous Path in the Everlasting Creed?!

Chapter 95: How Could There Be a Spy From the Righteous Path in the Everlasting Creed?!

A wave of sighs swept through the audience. Although shapeshifting techniques were hard to pick up, they were very common and had no auction value at all.

There were a few exceptions who didn’t sigh. One example was Lu Yang. Another example was Chi Xulong.

The auctioneer continued introducing the item, “This is not a book on an ordinary shapeshifting technique. During the transformation process, one can also make an offense. If you use this shapeshifting technique in a battle, I believe it could produce unexpected results.”

Only then did the crowd become slightly more interested, though not by much. After all, who would use a shapeshifting technique in the middle of battle?

The auctioneer reminded, “Something to note is that this shapeshifting technique is extremely difficult to master. Even master appraiser Yang Xuanling remarked that while this book appears nondescript on the surface, it is far more complex than what meets the eye!”

Lu Yang continued to mutter to himself just loud enough for Chi Xulong to hear, “As I thought, this book seems too similar to that legendary book.”

As Meng Jingzhou was seated beside him, he heard Lu Yang murmuring to himself and hastily whispered, “Shut up! You can’t say things like that out loud! When can you break the habit of muttering to yourself?!”

Lu Yang appeared to be visibly startled as he immediately closed his mouth and fixed his gaze on the shapeshifting technique book technique on stage.

Chi Xulong observed Lu Yang from the corner of his eye, growing more certain of his suspicions.

“The starting bid is one hundred spirit stones!” The price was far below that of a typical shapeshifting technique, indicating that even the merchant guild was likely unsure about the value of Animal Form Fist.

“One hundred and ten!” Someone quickly placed a bid. To them, this little bit of spirit stones probably meant nothing to them, and it wouldn’t hurt to buy something unusual out of novelty.

“One hundred and twenty!” Chi Xulong lazily called out.

“One hundred and forty!”

“One hundred and eighty”

“Two hundred!”

The price of Animal Form Fist soared rapidly.

“Eight hundred!” Lu Yang shouted.

Meng Jingzhou hurriedly held Lu Yang’s hand down. “Why are you bidding so high? Are you afraid that people won’t notice you?!”

“I...I was just afraid that someone else would win it.”

Eight hundred spirit stones might not be a considerable sum for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it was not the same for Qi Training cultivators.

“One thousand!” A voice rang out from beside Lu Yang.

Lu Yang stared at Chi Xulong in shock, as if he couldn’t understand why the other party was competing with him for the transformation technique book.

It’s clearly just a technique that appears to have some special traits! Could the other party also have discerned something? But how did he figure it out? Lu Yang beat himself up. Could he have heard me muttering to myself just now?

Lu Yang whispered to Chi Xulong, “Fellow Daoist, this book seems to be one that has been long lost in my family. Could you let me have it? I will definitely reward you generously after the auction!”

Chi Xulong snickered. Long lost? Only ghosts would believe you! There are definitely ancient secrets hidden in this book!

Shen Jinyi wanted to say something to persuade him but decided to stay silent upon seeing Chi Xulong’s firm stance.

Since the negotiations didn’t seem to work, Lu Yang decided to raise his bid, saying, “One thousand and two hundred low-grade spirit stones!”

“Two thousand.” Chi Xulong didn’t even bat an eyelid. With how the other party is bidding so timidly, he’s definitely not at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lu Yang went all in, “Two thousand and three hundred low-grade spirit stones!”

“Three thousand.” Chi Xulong remained as nonchalant as ever.

Lu Yang turned to Meng Jingzhou. “Lend me one thousand spirit stones. I promise I’ll pay you back next year!”

“Alright,” Meng Jingzhou readily agreed.

“Three thousand and three hundred low-grade spirit stones!”

“Four thousand!”

Lu Yang continued to borrow money, but his efforts were futile in the face of Chi Xulong’s wealth.

In the end, Chi Xulong won the shapeshifting technique book with an astonishing bid of eight thousand spirit stones, while Lu Yang shed hidden tears of joy at having earned eight thousand spirit stones. It was a win-win situation for both, leaving everyone satisfied.

After the auction ended, Lu Yang and the others had just arrived at the foot of a desolate mountain when they were blocked by Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi.

“What...what are you trying to do?!”

The corners of Chi Xulong’s mouth twisted into a cruel smile. “What do you think I want to do? Don’t play dumb with me, kid. No one has ever fooled me before!” Chi Xulong took out the copy of Lu-Style Shapeshifting Technique and released his aura waves of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. “Tell me, what ancient secret is hidden in this book! Speak the truth, and I’ll spare your lives. If you dare lie, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

That said, Chi Xulong had no intention of letting the four of them go. The fewer the people who know about this, the better. Besides, this girl is gorgeous; I must play with her before killing her!

Since these four people can’t even fork out a few thousand spirit stones, they must be at the Qi Training Stage, and Qi Training cultivators stand no chance before me!

Lu Yang sighed. I remember that Branch Leader Chu reminded me to stir up more trouble during the Spring Harvest Festival. Could Branch Leader Chu have already foreseen today’s situation and was hinting to me to kill Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi?

Nothing escapes Branch Leader Chu’s masterful strategy!

Lu Yang removed his mask, revealing his true appearance. “Chi Xulong, we don’t have to make things so tense between us, right?” Then, he stealthily took out a recording orb.

“Lu Yang! Die!” Chi Xulong burst into anger, instantly realizing that Lu Yang had been toying with him. Everything that happened at the auction was a play staged for me!

“There must be some misunderstandings between us. Some vile person is surely trying to sow discord. How about this, let’s go to Branch Leader Chu and clear things up. Even if you don’t believe me, you should at least trust Branch Leader Chu, right?”

At the mention of Branch Leader Chu, it only further incurred Chi Xulong’s wrath. “How dare you bring up Branch Leader Chu? You have no face to do that! He must have been hoodwinked by you to let you become an administrator. What vile person are you talking about? You are the vile person!”

“Me, a vile person? Don’t talk nonsense!” Lu Yang desperately tried to defend himself.

Chi Xulong sneered. “Don't think I don’t know that you motherf*cker have done all those dirty deeds! In front of Branch Leader Chu, you pretend to be a goody-two-shoes and a yes-man, but ever since you joined the creed, everything you’ve done has been to sabotage us. I suspect you’re a spy sent by the righteous path!”

Naturally, Chi Xulong had uttered those words in a fit of anger. If he had really thought that Lu Yang was a spy from the righteous path, he would have been secretly monitoring Lu Yang for evidence a long time ago.

Lu Yang let out a long sigh and put away the recording orb. Pulling out his Qingfeng Sword, he reluctantly said, “In that case, it seems like the only option left for us is to fight.”

Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi curled their lips in contempt as they readied their weapons.

Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, and Lan Ting did the same.

The battle commenced.

~~~

Lu Yang brought the news of Chi Xulong’s and Shen Jinyi’s demise to Branch Leader Chu.

No matter how strong Chi Xulong and Shen Jinyi were, there was no way they could survive against four disciples from the immortal sects. It was a one-sided crushing defeat. The two died so gruesomely that Lan Ting lost her appetite.

As Lu Yang presented the recording orb, he explained to Branch Leader Chu, “You know Chi Xulong’s temper; he kills at the slightest disagreement. I was worried that something like this would happen, so I prepared the recording orb in advance, lest he comes to you complaining about his grievances and that I am mistreating him.

“But it looks like he wouldn’t be able to do that now.

“I’m not sure what went wrong with the recording orb; it recorded intermittently. Fortunately, it can still roughly reflect the situation at that time. Please take a look.”

Sitting in his jade chair, Branch Leader Chu picked up the recording orb and watched the scenes unfold.

“Chi Xulong, we don’t have to make things so tense between us, right?” Lu Yang tried his best to salvage the relationship between the two of them.

“Lu Yang! Die!” Clearly, Chi Xulong did not appreciate the gesture.

“There must be some misunderstandings between us. Some vile person is surely trying to sow discord. How about this, let’s go to Branch Leader Chu and clear things up. Even if you don’t believe me, you should at least trust Branch Leader Chu, right?”

“Branch Leader Chu...let you become an administrator...the vile person!”

“...a vile person? Don’t talk nonsense!” Lu Yang tried to convince him with logic.

“Don't think I don’t know...motherf*cker...done all those dirty deeds!”

“...Branch Leader Chu...pretend to be a goody-two-shoes and a yes-man...joined the creed, everything has been to sabotage us...I suspect...a spy sent by the righteous path!”

The recording ended here, leaving Branch Leader Chu gnashing his teeth.

Lu Yang spoke up indignantly, “Branch Leader, even if we are from the diabolic path and have our share of rivalries and instances of fury, I know to repay kindness. You’ve treated me well, so when I saw Chi Xulong framing you and Shen Jinyi not attempting to stop him, rage swelled in my heart. Overwhelmed by anger, I got Meng Jingzhou and the others to kill him together! It wasn’t convenient to record during the fight, so I put away the recording orb.”

Lu Yang naturally wouldn’t let Branch Leader Chu see their fighting styles.

Branch Leader Chu commended him loudly, his voice laced with ire toward Chi Xulong, “Well done killing them! Those two bastards deserve to die!”

Branch Leader Chu was aware of Chi Xulong’s dissatisfaction toward him, but on the account that Chi Xulong was a talent, he had called him over to offer him some advice. At the time, Chi Xulong had even pledged loyalty, claiming that he would do better than Lu Yang. But now, it seems like Chi Xulong still harbored resentment inside his heart. To think he even made such absurd statements like accusing me of being a spy from the righteous path.

How could there be a spy from the righteous path in the Everlasting Creed?!
