Chapter 275: Zhang Qianmo's Three Grand Wishes
🕑 Added 2024-02-13 13:47:12 +0000 UTCZhang Qianmo chuckled upon hearing this, "It's just a nightmare, Junior Brother, there's no need to take it seriously."
However, seeing Li Fan's intense gaze, Zhang Qianmo pondered for a moment and said, "My lifelong wishes..."
"I won't hide it from you. Since I entered the Purple Heaven Sect and embarked on the path of cultivation, I've always had three major goals."
"But I've kept them deeply buried in my heart and never mentioned them to anyone."
"Now that Junior Brother insists on asking, I don't mind sharing them with you."
"Consider them as jokes, don't take them too seriously!"
With a solemn expression, Zhang Qianmo slowly said, "I have three wishes."
"First, demons and monsters are causing havoc, and countless lives are suffering. I want to exterminate all demons in the world, bringing peace to the land."
"Second, the Ten Great Immortal Sects are becoming old and feeble. With power but no virtue, it's difficult to win over the masses. I want to see the Purple Heaven Sect replace them."
"Third, among the various sects in the world, everyone cherishes their own treasures. There are countless profound techniques in the world, but each sect keeps them for themselves. Ordinary cultivators, even if they possess a treasured technique from a sect, cannot fully understand it in their lifetime. Not to mention the countless other sects' techniques."
"Life has its limits, but techniques are boundless. It's a great pity! If I were to govern the world, I would collect all the techniques and share them with everyone."
"Everyone can choose the most suitable technique for cultivation, and eventually, we can recreate the golden age of ancient cultivation."
Zhang Qianmo spoke eloquently and relentlessly, revealing his lifelong three wishes.
Each one was more astonishing than the last.
Li Fan listened and couldn't help but fall into deep silence.
After a long time, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and said, "Senior Brother, your ambitions are grand, and I admire you!"
Zhang Qianmo laughed heartily upon hearing this, "They're just idle thoughts about various injustices I've encountered in my cultivation journey! Junior Brother, just take it as a joke, don't take it seriously!"
"Let's go!"
With that, he accelerated towards Ningyuan City.
Li Fan followed closely behind, thinking to himself, "I can only pray that this place isn't being maintained by Zhang Qianmo's obsession. This Senior Brother of mine is really extraordinary. His wishes are a bit outrageous."
"I wonder what his true ending will be in history."
The two of them remained silent along the way and soon arrived at Ningyuan City.
Concealing their aura and disguising themselves as ordinary people, the two brothers swaggered through the city gates.
"Junior Brother, let's split up and investigate the city for anything suspicious," Zhang Qianmo communicated through voice transmission.
"Senior Brother, you're not going to meet your old lover Chixia, right?" Li Fan exposed his intentions with a single sentence.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qianmo felt somewhat embarrassed.
Just as he was about to explain, Li Fan suddenly said, "If my spiritual intuition is correct, the danger in this city is aimed at the two of us."
"It's likely that there's already an ambush set up around Chixia. If Senior Brother rashly meets her, he might fall into their trap."
"Senior Brother's cultivation is formidable and is not afraid of them. But I'm afraid that Chixia might be harmed."
When Zhang Qianmo heard this, he felt that it made perfect sense.
After a moment of contemplation, he communicated through voice transmission, "Junior Brother's approach is prudent. In that case, let's first gather information about the city, and then make plans after reuniting."
Li Fan nodded in agreement.
Zhang Qianmo's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Having already known the personnel arrangement for the ambush in Ningyuan City, Li Fan naturally didn't need to bother with reconnaissance again.
The reason he guided Zhang Qianmo to act this way was to delay the outbreak of the battle.
Before that, he wanted to re-examine Ningyuan City.
To look for the true protagonist.
By now, Li Fan had gone through more than ten cycles in Ningyuan City.
After Zhang Qianmo's speech, although he was somewhat reluctant to believe it, Li Fan was very clear that he had likely been mistaken all along.
The protagonist of this stage play was someone else, not Zhang Qianmo.
This was because Zhang Qianmo's obsession was too grand.
The stage of Ningyuan City was too small.
The mere incident of "ambush while obtaining the Longevity Fruit" could not match Senior Brother Zhang's ambitions.
"So, who is the master of this space-time?"
Li Fan scanned the bustling mortals in Ningyuan City.
"Could it be among these people?"
With this question in mind, Li Fan began to wander around Ningyuan City.
It was a bustling and lively city.
The mortals lived and worked here, completely unaware of the impending disaster.
Following the crowded flow of people, Li Fan arrived at a road called "Yongqing Street."
The roadside was filled with various stalls, and many excited mortals were playing.
Walking among them, Li Fan felt as if he had returned to Grand Xuan.
That long-lost mortal realm.
Suddenly, Li Fan's footsteps halted slightly.
His spiritual consciousness sensed the surroundings, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he deliberately walked towards a nearby dead end.
Several small figures hurriedly followed behind him.
They walked to the depths of the alley but found that the person they were following had disappeared, which surprised them.
Just as they were about to retreat, they found a figure blocking the exit.
It was Li Fan.
Li Fan looked at the five figures tracking him, tilting his head.
Five mortals.
They were all extremely thin and frail children.
The oldest looked no more than six or seven years old, thin and weak.
"What are you little kids following me for?" Li Fan asked with some amusement.
The five children were caught off guard and looked nervous.
But in the face of Li Fan's question, none of them answered, only staring at him intently.
Just as Li Fan was about to say something, one of them suddenly shouted, "Dog!"
At the same time, a fierce dog's roar resounded behind Li Fan.
The vicious dog appeared in an instant, about to pounce on Li Fan.
Li Fan intended to crush it directly, but when he saw the face of the "vicious dog," he couldn't help but stop.
With a slight force, he grabbed it.
Ignoring its fierce roar, he carefully examined it in front of his eyes.
Indeed, its limbs were those of a dog...
But its torso and head were human.
"What is this?"
"A demonic beast?"
A mysterious light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
Spiritual energy surged out from his body and circulated within its body.
Its roaring gradually weakened, and it fell into a deep sleep.
"Dog!"
Thinking that the dog had died, the five children behind shouted in despair.
Ignoring the absolute difference in strength, they all rushed towards Li Fan.
With a gentle flick from Li Fan, they all fell to the ground.
"It's not dead yet."
Li Fan said lightly.
"If you want to save its life, answer a few questions for me."
The few children looked at each other and had to nod in agreement.
"This dog..."
Li Fan paused and corrected himself.
"This child, what's going on?"
Li Fan asked.
Yes, after just inspecting it, Li Fan found that the creature in front of him, with the body of a human and the claws of a dog, was not a demonic beast.
But a human.
It's just that it had been "grafted" with the limbs of a dog.
