I Am The Villain's Lackey With Sign-in System - Chapter 92:
Chapter 92: Strengthened Power of Six Paths, Resurrection:
The sudden voice made Cang Feng frown deeply.
In the next moment, an overwhelming burst of demonic energy surged forth.
Although it carried a demonic essence, it appeared radiant and sacred, leaving everyone stunned.
“What’s this?!”
Caught off guard, Cang Feng was instantly overpowered by the energy and forced to his knees. He looked up in disbelief at the old man in front of him.
“You!”
Cang Feng couldn’t believe that the seemingly ordinary old man possessed such incredible strength.
[This plot collapse is outrageous!]
[Did Cang Feng really lose his mind and kill him?]
Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected this twist.
Of course, while it was unexpected, it didn’t affect his mood. Watching the drama unfold was entertaining enough for him. As long as the final outcome allowed him to sign off on the plot, the details didn’t matter much.
Huang San, though furious, had no intention of harming bystanders.
The energy he unleashed was solely directed at Cang Feng.
Although the others in the room could feel the immense pressure radiating from Huang San, none of them dared to make a sound.
“You haven’t answered my question yet, young man!”
Despite his aged voice, Huang San’s aura carried immense authority.
Cang Feng’s forehead bulged with veins as he struggled to resist the pressure. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he remained pinned to the ground, unable to move.
“Who are you?!”
Cang Feng couldn’t comprehend how such an unassuming old man could wield such power.
“Your master, Taoist Zian, calls me Mr. Huang with the utmost respect. Who do you think I am?”
Initially, Huang San had tolerated Cang Feng’s arrogance because of his connection to Taoist Zian. Even though Cang Feng was overly ambitious and reckless, Huang San was willing to give him a chance.
But now, Cang Feng’s reckless decision to kill Huang San’s junior had crossed the line.
“Impossible!”
Even as he protested, Cang Feng’s voice wavered with doubt. If Huang San truly knew his master, why hadn’t he known earlier?
“Then see for yourself!”
As Huang San spoke, a shadow emerged behind him, materializing into the form of a weasel—Huang San’s true form.
Though a monster by nature, Huang San’s aura radiated purity and merit.
Those in the hall who understood the significance of this couldn’t hide their astonishment.
“No… such pure energy! This is the Baojiaxian!”
The Baojiaxian were monsters who had cultivated merit, gaining a higher status than ordinary demons.
“Baojiaxian!”
Realizing the truth, Cang Feng sneered bitterly.
“I see now. You killed the younger one, and now the elder comes to seek revenge. You want to bully me because I’m weaker, don’t you? I bet the trouble caused by that weasel in this hotel was under your orders!”
“Enough!”
Huang San’s anger flared at Cang Feng’s baseless accusations.
“Though my junior caused trouble out of mischief, it never harmed anyone’s life, nor did it disrupt the natural order!”
Unlike murderous demons, Baojiaxian like Huang San and his junior avoided acts that incurred karmic repercussions. Monsters that killed were marked with murderous karma, while those who upheld virtue accumulated merit.
“I’ll take you back to the Huang family’s ancestral temple. There, you’ll face justice!”
The so-called justice was no more than a set of harsh punishments.
Despite Huang San’s anger, Cang Feng’s actions hadn’t crossed into unforgivable territory, so killing him wasn’t an option.
But Cang Feng didn’t understand this.
As Huang San stepped closer, Cang Feng felt as if he were a tiny boat in a stormy sea, ready to capsize at any moment.
“No! I refuse to accept this!”
Cang Feng’s eyes widened in desperation.
“My life is just beginning. I’ve only recently obtained a powerful cultivation technique. How could it end here?”
“Ahhhhh!”
With a sudden roar, Cang Feng’s aura exploded, surging higher and higher.
“Hm?”
Huang San stopped mid-step, his gaze sharpening at the unexpected development.
Cang Feng’s body radiated a power that surprised even Huang San.
[This is some protagonist-level resilience!]
Ye Liuyun, standing to the side, instantly understood.
The phenomenon unfolding before them was something unique to protagonists—what he called an “explosive power-up.”
Zhang Ning, another Son of Destiny Ye Liuyun had encountered, had exhibited a similar ability. It was no surprise that Cang Feng could do the same.
With his newfound strength, Cang Feng, who had been kneeling moments before, slowly stood up. His eyes locked onto Huang San, filled with dark determination.
“Remember this humiliation. I will return to settle this debt!”
Without another word, Cang Feng turned and leaped through the glass, disappearing into the night outside the hotel.
“You—”
Huang San moved to stop him but realized it was already too late.
He stood there, his expression unreadable. It wasn’t fear or shock at Cang Feng’s words.
After living for centuries, Huang San had weathered countless storms. A simple threat from Cang Feng wouldn’t faze him.
What puzzled him was the mention of humiliation.
Humiliation?
What humiliation?
Wasn’t it you who killed my junior?
If anyone should feel humiliated, it’s me.
My junior is still lying lifeless on the floor.
How could you claim humiliation?
None of this made sense anymore.
Shaking his head, Huang San dismissed the idea of chasing after Cang Feng.
He thought to himself, “I’ll let it go this time, for the sake of my old friend, Taoist Zian. From now on, we’ll consider this matter closed.”
[Well!]
Ye Liuyun stood silently, gazing in the direction where Cang Feng had fled. His expression was slightly dazed.
“What’s wrong?”
Liu Qingqing noticed his unusual demeanor and looked at him curiously.
“It’s nothing,” Ye Liuyun replied, snapping out of his thoughts. He shook his head lightly and didn’t elaborate further.
[What a twist! This plot is really tying itself together!][According to the original plot, after Cang Feng resolved all the issues, he wandered into the forest on a whim.][There, he accidentally consumed the incense power stored by Bai Ya, which entangled his fate with hers!]
[And now…]
Although events had taken a slightly different course, the overall direction of the plot remained the same.
[Next, Cang Feng should encounter Bai Ya, eat her incense power, and face destruction!][It’s time for the second heroine to make her entrance!]
At the same time, Bai Ya, sensing these thoughts, gradually withdrew from her meditative state.
Having accumulated incense power for so long, she had just consumed it all. While it didn’t advance her into the next realm immediately, she wasn’t concerned.
The power was hers, after all. Keeping it within her too long could become problematic.
She didn’t want to gamble her future on whether Ye Liuyun’s voice carried truth.
“So, that Cang Feng will arrive soon?”
With that thought, Bai Ya’s figure moved lightly. She landed gracefully on a tree branch.
“Thinking about stealing my incense power? Let’s see if you’re capable of it!”
With a determined expression, she leapt a few more times, vanishing into the forest.
…
Back at the hotel, Huang San cleared his throat to address the onlookers.
“No matter what, this entire incident stemmed from the mischief of my family. I sincerely apologize to everyone here!”
“No need, it’s fine!”
The discerning cultivators among the crowd quickly waved off his apology.
“This is a meritorious Baojiaxian. Your junior was merely playing around and never intended for things to end this way.”
“Alas, perhaps this was its fate,” another cultivator added with a sigh.
Huang San shook his head in resignation. He turned to the lifeless weasel on the ground, preparing to collect its remains.
Ye Liuyun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
“Need any help?”
“???”
The question left everyone puzzled. Help? With what? Collecting the remains of his own junior?
Huang San, however, responded earnestly, shaking his head. “There’s no need. It’s my responsibility to handle this. Still, I appreciate your earlier words on behalf of my junior.”
He referred to Ye Liuyun’s suggestion to let the weasel go. If not for Cang Feng’s ruthlessness and refusal to listen, the situation might have turned out differently.
Despite the circumstances, Huang San admired Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun, however, seemed indifferent, casually waving his hand.
“Huh?”
As Huang San bent down to pick up the weasel’s body, an unexpected movement occurred.
Like the tongue of a chameleon, something darted out and snatched the weasel’s body right before Huang San’s eyes.
“What?!”
Huang San froze, utterly stunned.
Behind Ye Liuyun, the shadowy figure of what resembled the King of Hell emerged.
The weasel’s body was pulled into the entity’s mouth, and the sound of chewing echoed in the room.
The power of Ye Liuyun’s Samsara Eye, particularly its connection to the six paths, had undergone significant changes since arriving in this world.
Due to Ye Liuyun’s cultivation of other abilities, the Samsara Eye’s powers had been strengthened in ways he hadn’t expected.
Originally, the resurrection ability of the Hell Realm Path could only be used to revive the six Pain puppets. However, with Ye Liuyun’s current abilities, reviving a recently deceased creature with an intact body was now possible.
It might take some time, but it was doable.
Huang San watched in disbelief as the scene unfolded.
“You?”
Huang San’s initial shock faded as he realized that Ye Liuyun wasn’t desecrating his junior’s corpse. Instead, he saw a powerful and vibrant life force returning to the weasel’s body.
How was this possible?
At first, Huang San had sensed no Qi from Ye Liuyun, assuming he had no cultivation strength. Now it was clear—Ye Liuyun’s strength far surpassed his own comprehension.
“Hiss!”
Huang San involuntarily drew in a sharp breath, overwhelmed by what he was witnessing.
The chewing sounds stopped, and before everyone’s astonished eyes, the weasel emerged unharmed.
“Ancestor?”
The weasel stared at Huang San, utterly confused.
Wasn’t it dead? Why was it alive again?
“Alive! It’s alive!”
The shock spread throughout the room. Even the monks and Liu Qingqing standing near Ye Liuyun were wide-eyed with disbelief.
Resurrection.
It was terrifying to even consider such a possibility.
