Chapter 761: Wisdom Sword Severs Emotions, Unforeseen Calamity
Chapter 761: Wisdom Sword Severs Emotions, Unforeseen Calamity
"Friend Dao, you have truly brought me an unforeseen calamity."
In a small alley, Qin Muye strolled over, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery as he looked at Fan Hua not far away.
Next to Fan Hua, a semi-transparent long sword floated. As soon as Qin Muye arrived, the sword directly pierced into Fan Hua's brain and disappeared.
'Wisdom Sword of the Red Dust Dao. This person is extraordinary. I thought it would suppress delusions, but it's even more extreme, directly severing emotions.'
'Indeed, when encountering the right opportunity, one transforms into a dragon. This Fan Hua is truly remarkable.'
Spiritual beasts of the Red Dust Dao are very unique. These spiritual beasts are similar to mirror demons, but they are not born from tangible objects; rather, they are born from intangible things, most notably human desires.
And this Wisdom Sword is even more special. It can only be born after experiencing significant events and letting go of everything.
The core of the innate spiritual beast technique involves severing emotions, not just romantic love, but also various distractions and miscellaneous thoughts. Its key feature is the ability to cut off negative states targeting the soul, spirit, and mind, enabling the spiritual beast master to maintain a constant state of calm, akin to an enhanced sage-like state.
Of course, the Wisdom Sword's current state is largely due to Fan Hua himself. It's not that Fan Hua gained the Wisdom Sword and then achieved great enlightenment; rather, he achieved great enlightenment, and only then did the Wisdom Sword appear. The cause and effect cannot be reversed. This type of spiritual beast cannot be contracted by others; it can only be directly contracted by the person who gives birth to it. If he abandons the contract, this type of Red Dust Dao spiritual beast will disappear.
"This is indeed my fault, causing you trouble." Fan Hua apologized, acknowledging his responsibility.
"I'm more curious, why did that son-in-law come after you? Did you, for example, sleep with his wife?" Qin Muye asked with genuine curiosity, emphasizing the need to ask this question.
Fan Hua couldn't help but smile bitterly and then said, "It was just a foolish act from the past."
"Was this foolish act a big one or a small one?" Qin Muye specifically asked about the nature of the act.
Regarding Qin Muye's suggestive remarks, Fan Hua did not pursue the matter but said solemnly, "Friend Dao, you should leave quickly. This time, I have offended the Mu family, a major clan, and this won't end well."
"There is a possibility that the Mu family member you wronged already thinks you and I are a team and is planning to capture me to pressure you." Qin Muye said seriously.
"There is indeed that possibility." Fan Hua also realized this. Major clans are quite domineering and wouldn't care about your explanations, so it is indeed possible.
"But speaking of which, why did the major clan send so few people?" Qin Muye asked again. Logically, a powerful clan would send a loose immortal from their clan to capture someone, and Fan Hua's minor strength would offer no resistance.
"This is a long story, and I won't go into it. I think we should focus on how to help you escape." Clearly, Fan Hua was still cautious and skipped over the matter.
"..." Qin Muye thought this was a bit too much, after all, they wouldn't think that way.
"How about this, you kill the other party and marry his widow. This way, you can gain benefits, and I can escape." Qin Muye thought for a moment. If the victim was dead and the widow was taken, there would be no problem.
Fan Hua was genuinely startled by Qin Muye's idea. He had already caused trouble and now wanted to kill someone, which would make him a heinous criminal.
"Friend Dao, you must not say such things. If it were true, wouldn't you become a villain? Killing a man and taking his wife is truly against propriety." Fan Hua hurriedly said.
"!!!" Qin Muye was utterly shocked. Had this guy been possessed? He was so proud in his laboratory, and now he had become a good person. Was the Wisdom Sword that terrifying?
Maybe I should give the original body a Wisdom Sword and see if it can bring him back to the righteous path... although it's more likely that the Wisdom Sword would turn into a demonic sword or a desire sword.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Qin Muye spread his hands, indicating he had no other solutions. If you have a better one, just say it.
Fan Hua was also quite conflicted. He indeed had no good ideas. As for coming forward to clarify? That would be even less reliable, as it would only make the Mu family's son-in-law think he was helping Qin Muye escape, and he would be even less likely to let him go.
"Perhaps, Dao Friend, you should flee far away," Fan Hua said with a final resolve.
"Your suggestion isn't bad, but I have a small question for you," Qin Muye's expression turned serious.
"Please ask," Fan Hua felt a sense of unease.
"On what grounds?" Qin Muye asked.
"What?" Fan Hua was puzzled. On what grounds? He didn't quite understand.
"On what grounds should I bear the consequences of your mistakes? We are practically strangers, and I have been unjustly dragged into this unforeseen calamity. When I give you advice, you say it won't work, and now you want me to bear the burden. On what grounds?" Qin Muye stared at Fan Hua, asking very seriously.
For a moment, Fan Hua was speechless, not because of anything else, but because Qin Muye's words were indeed reasonable.
This made various thoughts surge in his mind, and the Wisdom Sword wanted to help him sever these troubles, but he stopped it. He realized that he had indeed acted dishonorably.
"I... I..." He opened his mouth to explain but found the words stuck in his throat.
"So, the trouble you caused shouldn't be borne by me. I was living a good life here, but now you've turned everything upside down. And it's all because I kindly warned you. Don't you think I'm pitiful?" Qin Muye stood on the moral high ground, pointing out Fan Hua's faults.
This guy seemed to have transformed into a straightforward person after his metamorphosis. As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived with a straight face, and so can a straightforward person.
That's why it's said that finding a straightforward person to take the blame is easy—they are easy to bully, especially when they are in the wrong.
"I'll go and beg for help, even... even if it means..." Fan Hua spoke hesitantly, originally intending to mention a name but couldn't bring himself to say it, using a person as a placeholder.
"Ah, this... I don't think you'll survive that. How about you get stronger first?" Qin Muye thought that if he really let Fan Hua go to a rich woman for help, there wouldn't be any fun left.
"Besides, with your karma, you might end up with a hundred more grievances before you even reach the Mu family. By then, a coalition of victims might come after you. Do you think you can handle it?"
Qin Muye had a deep understanding of the consequences of such actions.
Fan Hua's face turned green, not because of anything else, but because Qin Muye's words were very reasonable. He had already experienced this many times, and it was thanks to the Wisdom Sword and his quick escape that he only provoked the Mu family. If he went there with insufficient strength, the journey would be fraught with danger.
One misstep, and he would be trapped again. If a coalition of victims formed, it would create a vicious cycle.
"Would Dao Friend be willing to help me?" Fan Hua looked at Qin Muye with a mix of emotions.
Qin Muye's face darkened: "Can we have a bit of dignity? I'm not willing to help you; you've dragged me into this, so I have no choice but to help."
This made Fan Hua instantly feel awkward.
"That's not right. Dao Friend, why don't you get stronger yourself? Why do I need to get stronger?" Fan Hua realized the logic was flawed.
"The Mu family is a major clan with a Great Buddha Immortal as its guardian. What gives you the courage to think you can break through to the Great Buddha Immortal realm before being killed by the Mu family?"
"The best solution is for you to get stronger and show enough potential, then kill the other party and live happily with the rich woman. This way, the conflict can be turned into peace, and everything will be resolved."
Qin Muye's suggestion was indeed the best course of action. After all, the wronged party was the one with genuine grievances, and the others weren't of much concern. Furthermore, the son-in-law was merely an insignificant in-law, and such individuals are often looked down upon.
"Would this actually be effective?" Fan Hua's heart stirred, but then doubt clouded her expression. "But I'm not skilled enough, am I?"
"Don't worry. I'll help you. Even if you're not capable, you'll have to be, as it concerns both our lives. Do you want to be chased by the Mu family for the rest of your life? I have no objections, but I don't want that."
"So, even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider me, the unlucky person you've involved."
Qin Muye unhesitatingly led the other party into a trap.
