Chapter 243 -241: I Just Want to Kill You!
At night, Jing Xu’s Cave Mansion prepared a feast.

He invited not only Ning Daoran and Lin Man, but also cultivators from several nearby residences, primarily those in the mid and late stages of Foundation Establishment. This included Mr. and Mrs. Wang from the adjacent residence, Elder Tianshan from the corner residence, and Independent Practitioner Mo Ni, who was as addicted to gambling as one could be. They were all cultivators from the street who could hardly avoid seeing each other in their daily comings and goings.
Ning Daoran and Lin Man initially had no interest in attending, but after persistent persuasion from Mr. and Mrs. Wang and Elder Tianshan, using arguments like “distant relatives are not as helpful as close neighbors,” they had no choice but to make an appearance.
“My friends, I Jing Xu am but a simple man,”
Jing Xu raised his cup and said, “If my words fail to reach the mark, I ask for your generous understanding.”
Mr. and Mrs. Wang nodded continuously, “Senior Jing, you are too polite!”
Elder Tianshan also raised his cup; although his face showed his age and he was over one hundred and eighty years old—an old Foundation Establishment—he still considered himself a junior. In front of a Great Cultivator with a Golden Core like Jing Xu, he was indeed a junior.
The group started talking about the Jin Brothers who had lived here before, and they couldn’t stop sighing heavily.
Lady Wang was particularly emotional; she almost burst into tears as she lamented that the three brothers were rather good people, especially the youngest, Jintian, who was such a well-behaved lad. It was a tragedy that he perished in the Yin Erosion Rain.
“Fellow Daoist Ning,”
Jing Xu narrowed his eyes at Ning Daoran, smiling and said, “I heard that last time when you returned from the sea, Jin Shan was lucky to escape the storm with his life and it was aboard your vessel that he returned to Immortal White Dragon City.”
“Indeed,”
Ning Daoran nodded, “Jin Shan was a decent person, honest and kind-hearted. It’s a pity that he died in his own Cave Mansion due to a breakthrough failure.”
While speaking, he sniffed the Spiritual Wine and chuckled, “The bloody scent of Jin Shan in this Cave Mansion has not completely dissipated.”
Lin Man was slightly startled, unsure of the profound implications of Ning Daoran’s words.
“Life and death are decreed by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven’s hands,”
Jing Xu said, “Are we cultivators not all the same? Who can boldly claim they will surely reach that step and truly achieve Divinity Transformation, leaving this world suppressed by the Heavenly Dao?”
“Indeed,”
Elder Tianshan said, “Before the rolling Heaven’s Dao, we indeed are all like ants.”
Ning Daoran just smiled and didn’t speak.
As the drinks continued to flow, everyone became slightly tipsy.
Lady Wang leaned on her husband, her pretty face flushed, murmuring sweet nothings. A Foundation Establishment Expert too had worries.
Lin Man drank little, her beautiful face full of gravity, whether she was contemplating the crafting of Talismans or something else altogether, her thoughts were clearly not present.
Elder Tianshan reclined in his chair, already overcome by the alcohol, snoring heavily.
Independent Practitioner Mo Ni’s eyes were cold, his gaze silently sweeping over the bodies of the Golden Core Cultivators, showing a desire to act but not daring to take the risk.
He was a gambler, and his residence was already lost to gambling. If things continued like this, he might soon have to resort to robbery cultivation.
“Fellow Daoist Ning,”
Jing Xu propped his forehead with one hand, pretending to be drunk, his lips moved slightly, and he unexpectedly sent a voice transmission directly to Ning Daoran, “Fellow Daoist Ning is very astute. Could it be that he has noticed some flaw with Jing?”
“What’s this?”
Ning Daoran responded with his own voice transmission, “Does Fellow Daoist Jing intend to make a confession without being pressed?”
“Ha-ha, what is confessing without being beaten?”
Jing Xu laughed, “This is Immortal White Dragon City, where fighting is forbidden, and violators will surely be severely punished without leniency. Even if Jing confesses, what can it lead to? Even if you know that I entered the Cave Mansion to kill, what can you do? Do you plan to avenge Jin Shan?
“That’s definitely not the case.”
Ning Daoran said, “I have no such friendship with Jin Shan. Besides, in my eyes, Jin Shan had major flaws in his character; even with a friendship, I might not seek vengeance for him.”
“Hmph…”
Jing Xu scoffed, “Cats have their paths, rats have their ways. Your Great Dao is completely different from mine, Jing. Let’s each tread our own path under the heavens and not trouble each other.”
“What the Fellow Daoist says is most true.”
“A man who appreciates the times is a true hero, ha-ha~~”
…
Deep into the night, the guests departed one by one.
Ning Daoran and Lin Man walked side by side.
After watching Lin Man enter her Cave Mansion, Ning Daoran finally let out a belch and stepped into his abode.
This small gesture was undoubtedly caught by Lin Man.
For a moment, just after stepping into the Cave Mansion, the corners of Lin Man’s mouth lifted in a smile, but in an instant, worry crept over her brows, and she shook her head, saying, “Sinful, sinful, Lin Man, oh Lin Man, Sister Chi is still between life and death, and you still dare to harbor such mundane desires, truly not knowing what’s good for you!”
Saying this, she straightened her clothes and stepped deeper into the Cave Mansion, speaking softly, “Lin Man’s life is devoted to the Great Dao, what need is there for a Daoist couple?”
Inside the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.
Ning Daoran shook his arms and immediately shook off the alcohol fumes from his body.
He frowned, deep in thought.
One hundred and forty-seven years ago, he had arrived at this Cultivation World, starting from Dragon Flying Village, then entering the Chaotic Sect to cultivate, taking steady steps and being cautious in every matter until he had reached the cultivation level of today.
But what was the meaning of his cultivation? Was it merely to stay alive?
If one were to live each day in fear, what difference would there be from a turtle? Even if one achieved a higher realm, what meaning would it have?
Therefore, the meaning of cultivation lies in being free from the shackles of heaven and earth, being able to do whatever one wants.
Jing Xu lived carefreely simply because he had completely discarded all notions of morality and ethics.
So, couldn’t Ning Daoran truly be himself?
At that moment, he understood!
Sometimes, one must act recklessly in cultivation, doing whatever one wants without imposing so many restrictions on oneself.
And now, there was only one thing he wanted to do!
Take out Jing Xu!
Jing Xu was able to sneak into Jin Shan’s Cave Mansion and kill him, and then take over his Cave Mansion. Why couldn’t Ning Daoran do the same?
The next day.
Ning Daoran sent out a Class A Paperfolk, which was indistinguishable from his own appearance, directly toward Qingfu Square. Not long after, this Class A Paperfolk began to drink tea and chat with Zhao Yuanlong, the Workshop Master of Qingfu Square, about purchasing Array materials.
In the afternoon.
Ning Daoran transformed himself, disguising as Independent Practitioner Jianjia.
He employed the Unmoving Ming King Divine Art, the Invisibility Technique, and the Sound Absorption Technique, all at the Return to the True Realm. He then used the Earth Escape Skill to travel underground, tunneling beneath the streets. Lifting his head and using his Divine Sense, he saw the protections under Jing Xu’s Cave Mansion, intricate as the roots of an ancient tree.
“Go!”
He gently patted the Spirit Beast Bag, releasing thousands of Fire Devouring Ants.
The ants quickly turned into faint glimmers, silently gnawing away at the prohibition of the Cave Mansion.
After several dozen breaths, a tiny gap appeared in the protections, and Ning Daoran directly burrowed in through Earth Escape.
Inside the Cave Mansion.
Jing Xu was meditating in the pavilion, eyes tightly shut, completely unaware.
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes and rapidly cast a spell, using the Water Escape Skill to stealthily move closer through the water. Just meters from Jing Xu, he suddenly attacked!
“Buzz!”
Big Green Dragon surged with immense force, sweeping across!
“You…”
Jing Xu could never have imagined that someone could infiltrate his Cave Mansion so silently. After all, he had reforged and strengthened his Cave Mansion’s defenses, and even a Golden Core Stage cultivator would need at least an hour to break the prohibition, which would certainly stir the formation and be noticeable to him.
“Boom!”
A spear strike to the midsection echoed thunderously within the Mansion. But outside, nothing could be heard; the Mansion had isolation prohibitions.
Jing Xu, a Loose Cultivator and a veteran of many battles, had considerable skills in confrontation, but he had never felt such overwhelming spiritual pressure. In an instant, he felt the flow of Mana in his body slow by half. Weighed down by the spiritual pressure, it was difficult to even move, let alone quickly dodge the lethal spear thrust.
The sound of his spine cracking was terrifying.
“Who are you!?”
Jing Xu hurriedly summoned his treasures, but it was too late.
A strand of the Golden Silk Sword fell from the sky, penetrated his protective spirit light, and pierced through his throat.
Jing Xu covered his throat with his hands, eyes bulging, incredulous that his protective spirit light and treasure armor could not even withstand a single blow, and had been hit fatally by his opponent.
“Boom!”
Ning Daoran stomped down hard, pinning Jing Xu firmly to the ground, and the sound of ribs breaking continued.
His mouth opened slightly, and he transmitted his voice, “Even if you know it’s I, Ning Daoran, who sneaked into the Cave Mansion to kill, what can you do about it?”
“So it’s you!”
Jing Xu’s eyes were filled with rage.
“Buzz!”
The Azure Dragon Spear, wrapped in a piercing aura, mercilessly struck Jing Xu’s head. With one strike, the skull shattered, and blood splattered.
“This blow is for the Bai Xiaotian couple!”
Jing Xu, covered in blood, sneered, “Taking revenge for mortals?”
“Why not?”
Ning Daoran raised his hand, and the second spear thrust down, smashing Jing Xu’s face, with blood splattering in all directions.
“This blow, for Jin Hai and Jintian!”
His third spear fell swiftly.
“Wait…”
Jing Xu’s consciousness was already fading, “And this blow is for what trouble?”
“This blow?”
Ning Daoran smiled faintly, “I just plain don’t like you and want to kill you. That’s reason enough.”
“Boom!”
With one thrust, Jing Xu’s head burst open like a watermelon!
…
‘Damn, that’s satisfying… My mind is clear now…’
Ning Daoran inhaled deeply, the scent of blood, feeling utterly exhilarated.
It seemed that cultivators really didn’t need to bottle everything up; when it was time to act, it felt incredibly gratifying to do so!
He quickly initiated a Soul Search.
This search was crucial; it filled in many gaps in his knowledge!
Jing Xu, as a Golden Core Independent Practitioner, had memories even filthier than Old Demon Ye. Petty acts like betraying his master were just the tip of the iceberg. Jing Xu even killed his master because of punishment and then kept the master’s daughter by his side, recruiting a husband for her but using her as a cultivation furnace all the while.
After the master’s daughter died of old age, he used her daughter and granddaughter in the same manner, openly in front of their husbands. It seemed such twisted acts gave him great satisfaction.
Ning Daoran felt his brain polluted by the Soul Search.
However, Jing Xu did provide a piece of useful information.
The grey-clothed Elder who infiltrated Lin Man’s Cave Mansion was actually Jing Xu’s senior brother, named Han Chan. Moreover, Han Chan was a guest of Long Zhuojun, the City Lord of Immortal White Dragon City. Suddenly, everything seemed to become clearer.
With the water settling and the stones showing, the truth was laid bare. The real big bad wolf turned out to be Long Zhuojun, the City Lord of Immortal White Dragon City!
