The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Chapter 218 Slaying Wang Fan and Obtaining the Heavenly Pearl

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing Xiao Hongdou crying incessantly, Gu Qing couldn't bear it any longer.

He hates sentimentality the most.

If anything happens, just keep it in your heart.

"So what if I ascended to immortality before you? It's not like we can't meet again in the future."

"With your talent, you will soon be able to ascend to a higher level."

Seeing that she was still crying and showed no signs of stopping, Gu Qing gently touched the corner of her eye and comforted her.

"Hate."

Xiao Hongdou punched his chest twice, somewhat annoyed.

Gu Qing had no idea why she was crying.

"Senior brother..."

Xiao Hongdou's bright almond-shaped eyes were red as she looked at Gu Qing and said seriously, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely not let anyone cheat on you."

"There's no need to put it so harshly."

Gu Qing's lips twitched slightly: "I believe in Qingyue and Suying, but I'm just afraid they'll be harassed by people with ulterior motives. Outstanding people are always bound to be coveted."

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

Xiao Hongdou nodded, clinging tightly to Gu Qing's arm.

For some reason, being with Gu Qing gave her a sense of familiarity, making her relax and let down her guard.

Perhaps it was because Gu Qing was her benefactor.

Or perhaps Gu Qing spoke very kindly and showed her enough respect, lacking the arrogance of the strong in fantasy worlds who regard the weak as ants.

……

Over the next few days, Gu Qing bid farewell to his relatives and friends one by one, and gave them many treasures.

After doing all this, Gu Qing found Luo Li.

With such a chosen one as Wang Fan by my side, I must eliminate him before ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Although Wang Fan always behaved himself and only dared to make small moves under Luo Li's control.

But the chosen one is the chosen one.

If it weren't for him keeping Wang Fan in check, he would have been more domineering than anyone else.

Therefore, this child must not be kept.

"Senior brother, are you going to ascend to the Immortal Realm with Master?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Li looked surprised and stared at Gu Qing with eyes full of reluctance.

"You can't bear to part with me? Why don't you ascend to the Immortal Realm with me?" Gu Qing said with a smile.

Luo Li hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and politely declined.

Her cultivation level is currently too low, only at the Venerable Realm. If she goes to the Immortal Realm, she will be just a nobody, and she will have to start all over again.

Here it's different; she exists like an empress, free to roam the heavens at will.

Anyway, she has no shortage of money, partners, or land.

"Say yes..." Wang Fan, watching from the side, was extremely anxious.

Heaven knows how excited Wang Fan was when he heard that Gu Qing was going to ascend to immortality.

If you were to ask who he feared most in the Star God Temple, it would definitely be Gu Qing.

He possesses extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength, and most importantly, he enjoys the support of the entire Star Temple.

If he dares to show his face, Gu Qing can ruin him with just one sentence.

And Luo Li.

Despite their deep-seated hatred, Wang Fan no longer wanted revenge; he only wanted Luo Li to leave as soon as possible, to escape the world without him.

After all, Luo Li is truly powerful, shrewd, and ruthless.

Even seeking revenge depends on whether you have the strength to do so.

Gu Qing and Luo Li were like two mountains weighing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

Now, upon hearing that Gu Qing was going to ascend to immortality and take Luo Li with him, Wang Fan was almost moved to tears.

Without these two people blocking his way, he could leverage Luo Li's and the connections of the Goddess Peak lineage to leap over the dragon gate and soar to great heights.

"Alright!" Gu Qing smiled and didn't insist.

It's good that Luo Li is willing to go with him; she'll have another capable assistant.

It doesn't matter if I choose to stay.

With Luo Li's talent, she will soon be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Luo Li pursed her lips, feeling somewhat disappointed.

In fact, if Gu Qing had invited her one more time and said some nice things, she would definitely have abandoned everything and gone with Gu Qing.

But Gu Qing didn't.

It seemed like a casual question.

She was not important to Gu Qing.

"Junior sister, is there anything I can help you with?"

As he spoke, Gu Qing poured her a cup of the Xuanqing Enlightenment Tea that he had brewed.

"No..." Luo Li was downcast. With Gu Qing gone, she didn't know when they would be able to meet again, and she felt an indescribable sadness.

Gu Qing looked at her in surprise.

It's rare to see the domineering, arrogant, ruthless, and vicious Luo Li also have a sentimental side.

He immediately spoke up, offering gentle words of comfort.

Although Luo Li is strong, she is also very lonely, and has almost no friends besides him.

He may seem to be living a glamorous life, surrounded by crowds, but in reality, he has always been alone.

"Are you kidding me...?" Wang Fan was getting a little frantic.

He could tell that if Gu Qing invited Luo Li a few more times, Luo Li would definitely soften and agree.

Moreover, Gu Qing can also force Luo Li to obey orders.

But Gu Qing did none of these things. Instead, he respected Luo Li's choice and comforted her gently, like an older brother indulging and spoiling his younger sister.

This is truly remarkable and deserves recognition.

Gu Qing is such a ruthless and cold-hearted person, he should be driven by self-interest, so why is he so good to Luo Li?

"Junior sister, this child is born rebellious and must not be allowed to live."

Seeing that Luo Li's mood had improved, Gu Qing suddenly changed the subject, looked at Wang Fan, and his eyes were cold.

"What...what..."

Wang Fan was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale.

He has always worked honestly and acted uprightly since he came to the Star God Temple, and has never done anything to target Gu Qing.

How come they're born rebellious?

Luo Li paused for a moment, then nodded: "What Senior Brother says is true."

Actually, she thought Wang Fan was a good person; he was loyal to her, steady, and resourceful.

He was her only capable assistant.

But Gu Qing said so, it didn't matter.

It's just an ant; killing it is no big deal.

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Luo Li's words, Wang Fan felt a surge of anger rising to his head.

Although he and Luo Li had a deep-seated hatred, he had served Luo Li diligently for so many years and had never given himself away.

Luo Li, on the other hand, abandoned Gu Qing without a second thought, all because of a single sentence he uttered.

It cannot be said that he is not cold-blooded and heartless.

Wang Fan felt ice-cold all over his body. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Your Highness, this subordinate..."

He felt he could still be saved.

Gu Qing was so good to Luo Li; if Luo Li were willing to say a word for him, she might be spared from death.

"Wang Fan, you don't need to pretend in front of me."

“Your junior sister killed your whole family. You’ve been lying low by her side all these years, serving her faithfully and working tirelessly. It must have been really tough on you.”

Honestly, Gu Qing admired Wang Fan's forbearance. His whole family had been sacrificed by Luo Li, yet Wang Fan could still face it with a smile every day and offer advice to Luo Li.

"How did you know?"

Wang Fan was horrified, his expression filled with terror.

I don't understand how Gu Qing knew that.

But he knew that some things didn't need evidence. Whether he admitted it or not, he was doomed, and even God couldn't save him.

I never imagined that my years of forbearance would become a joke.

Wang Fan's eyes were filled with deep despair, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

Even though he had an extraordinary opportunity, and even though he was extremely cautious and thought three steps ahead for every step he took, he ultimately died and perished because of a single word from a powerful figure.

"boom!"

Gu Qing killed him with a single thought. As his soul was annihilated, a terrifying divine light burst forth, tearing through space. Just as it was about to escape, it was cleaved into nothingness by a chaotic void sword aura.

"That was close, Wang Fan's soul almost escaped."

Gu Qing felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, he was on guard against any possible countermeasures from Wang Fan and managed to unleash the Chaos Returning to Nothingness Sword in time.

This divine light has already surpassed the Divine Fire Realm, exuding a transcendent Daoist charm.

However, the power was too weak, and even so, the divine power of the Divine Fire Realm was not affected in the slightest.

Only his Chaos Returning to Nothingness Sword Intent, possessing the power to destroy all laws and return all paths to nothingness, could completely obliterate it.

"Senior brother..."

Luo Li broke out in a cold sweat.

To her utter surprise, the loyal and capable assistant she thought was her sworn enemy was actually lurking beside her.

Even more unexpectedly, Wang Fan had a great opportunity; that divine light was clearly extraordinary.

If Gu Qing hadn't discovered it, she probably would have been in serious trouble.

"In the future, when you encounter a teenager with a handsome appearance, clear and bright eyes, a resolute brow, and extraordinary abilities, you should be more wary."

Gu Qing put away Wang Fan's storage ring and said this.

Luo Li was confused. What was wrong with the handsome young man?

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But you can't go wrong by listening to Gu Qing.

From now on, if you encounter any teenagers with delicate features, clear eyes, and resolute brows, just burn them all to death with the fire of phoenix rebirth.

Gu Qing glanced at the system information and immediately beamed with joy.

Four hundred thousand luck points and a chance to win a prize – this is a huge win!

"System, give me a lottery draw!"

As Gu Qing finished speaking, a large spinning wheel appeared in his mind, spinning rapidly until it finally stopped on a precious pearl.

Congratulations on obtaining the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Pearl.

"Dzi beads? What are these?"

Gu Qing hurriedly checked the functions of the dzi bead.

As its name suggests, the Dzi Bead is an innate spiritual treasure containing a portion of the origin of the Heavenly Dao, making it an excellent aid for cultivation.

It can cleanse one's karmic qualities, help one achieve harmony with nature, and keep one in a state of enlightenment at all times.

Furthermore, it can clear away inner demons, cleanse the soul, and achieve a state of pristine purity, with a clear and flawless mind.

"Good stuff."

The Heavenly Bead's ability to aid cultivation is so extraordinary that even a useless person could rise against all odds and become a prodigy.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then put it into the Hongmeng Ruyi Tower, and then opened Wang Fan's storage ring.

And let me tell you, Wang Fan has an incredible amount of treasures.

One complete sacred artifact, three incomplete sacred artifacts, one incomplete divine artifact, and one incomplete immortal artifact.

There are also sacred medicines and various precious elixirs.

Wang Fan's wealth is even greater than that of a Divine Fire Realm expert, befitting his status as the Chosen One.

However, Gu Qing had absolutely no interest in these junk items.

Pack everything up and give it to Chu Yao.

After giving Luo Li some treasures and some instructions, Gu Qing went to find Jiang Yu.

Still unwilling to give up, he asked, "Do I really have to call him Master?"

He really didn't understand. Bringing Zhimeng along was just adding to their troubles, wasn't it?

"What do you know?"

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes and smiled mysteriously: "Just do as I say and you won't go wrong. Once you enter the Immortal Realm, you'll understand my good intentions."

"real or fake?"

Gu Qing still didn't believe it.

Given Zhi Meng's strong-willed personality, how could she possibly coexist peacefully with Jiang Yu?

However, Jiang Yu looked mysterious, so perhaps something good really is going to happen.

Let's trust her this once and for all.
