Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1760

Chapter 1760 Existential Crisis

"Can you elaborate?" Yuan asked a moment later.

Tan Songyun frowned and said, "I don't mean to be rude, but why are you so interested in my business, Dragon Emperor? I thought dragons couldn't care less about species that don't have dragon blood flowing through their veins."

"Where did you hear that? I'm actually very interested in humans, especially those who are willing to offend a Dragon Emperor for their revenge."

Tan Songyun narrowed her eyes and said, "You want to know? Very well, I'll tell you. After all, this might be my last time telling this story."

"After Tian Kai disappeared, I joined a music sect to improve my zither skills and cultivation further. Once I was prepared, I ascended the Nine Heavens because Tian Kai said he was waiting for me in the upper heavens."

"However, as I ascended and gained access to more information, I began uncovering the truth about Tian Kai," Tan Songyun said, her voice heavy with bitterness. "According to numerous sources, including the Celestial Emperor himself, Tian Kai is none other than the infamous killer known as the Phantom Assassin—a wanted fugitive responsible for countless deaths and the destruction of many families."

As soon as Yuan heard the name 'Celestial Emperor' come out of Tan Songyun's mouth, he knew that she had been mislead by false rumors. However, he didn't say anything and allowed her to talk without interruption.

"Not only is he an assassin, but he's also an evil dual cultivator who targets maidens for their Yin Essence. He's tricked thousands of maidens, promising them eternal love. I was one of these foolish maidens."

Tan Songyun continued to recall everything she'd heard about Tian Kai, which was enough to write an entire novel, leaving Yuan speechless.

'Celestial Emperor, that son of a bitch! How dare he spread so many false rumors! This much slander is enough to anger even Buddha!' he cried inwardly.

"I've heard from another woman that Tian Kai had locked her in his basement for ten years, and he—"

"Okay, I have heard enough and get the gist of it," Yuan eventually interrupted her.

"After hearing so many things, I have only one more question for you."

"Lady Tan… is your faith in this Tian Kai that little?"

"What…?" Tan Songyun's eyes widened, almost as if she wasn't expecting such a question.

"Haaa…" Yuan decided to remove his mask, revealing his handsome face to her.

"Y-y-you are—!" Tan Songyun stammered in shock, stumbling backward before collapsing onto the ground and landing on her buttocks.

"Before you say anything, I am not Tian Kai," Yuan said.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Tan Songyun stood up and roared, "As if I'd believe you after fooling me and the Shen Family, you trickery bastard! I knew it was you all along, Tian Kai!"
