Cultivation Online novel Chapter 929

Chapter 929 - Heavens' Judgment

"This crazy bastard…" Lord Ji mumbled in a low voice as he watched Elder Gu and Gu Zhiting's severed corpses fall to the ground from the sky.

'Is this what it feels like to be opposed? How interesting…' He smiled inwardly.

"He really killed them…" Wang Xiuying was left speechless by Yuan's actions. She didn't think he would actually kill them.

Sometime later, Yuan turned to look at Patriarch Gu and spoke in a calm voice, "Are you going to avenge them now? Will you also plot to harm my friends once I am gone?"

"..."

However, Patriarch Gu remained silent.

The Grail of Truth had a single weakness. If someone doesn't speak, it would not be able to detect any lies. However, by avoiding the Grail of Truth, they might as well be a liar. After all, there would be no point to avoid the Grail of Truth if one planned on speaking the truth.

"If you don't answer my question, I will kill you as well." Yuan narrowed his eyes at Patriarch Gu, who trembled upon feeling such gaze.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low voice, "KIll me if you want. I don't care anymore."

He then turned to look at Lord Ji and clasped his hands before continuing, "Thank you for responding to my request for help. Even if you were not able to save their lives, I am still grateful that you came, and I am indebted to you."

Lord Ji silently nodded.

Patriarch Gu turned to look at Yuan again for a moment before turning around and flying away.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at Patriarch Gu, but he didn't chase after him.

"Young Master, are you sure you want to let him go? My experience tells me that he will definitely try to avenge his son and brother in the future." Feng Yuxiang said to him.

"I know." Yuan said.

"Then why?"

"His eyes lacked any will to live, and it reminds me of someone. I cannot kill him even if I want to— my body doesn't allow it." He sighed.

The current Patriarch Gu reminded Yuan of himself during his early years as a cripple. He had no reason to live, and he couldn't care less if he lived or died. This made him hesitant on killing Patriarch Gu.

"However, that doesn't mean I will allow him to harm my friends. They all believe that I won't be able to return to this place once I ascend, but that is not even close to being true. If he dares to try anything funny, I will come back down here and finish them off."

"What about this Lord Ji? His Ji Family is incredibly powerful— even more powerful than the Seven Legacy Families. They will definitely try to suppress you, but I highly discourage you from fighting them. Although you might be able to defeat them now, you won't be able to deal with the Ji Family in the upper heavens." Feng Yuxiang asked.

"I don't know. This Lord Ji is a weird one. I do not understand him at all." Yuan shook his head inwardly.

And he continued, "I guess we can only wait and see how everything goes."

Once Patriarch Gu left the scene completely, Lord Ji spoke in a calm voice, "You're really one crazy bastard, Yuan. Nobody has ever opposed me this openly. I'm both impressed and filled with rage right now."
