I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 95 - 73 Turning the Page_2

Inside the room, he couldn’t absorb the Moonlight Yin Qi, so he decided to follow the Inner Charm Technique for practicing, sitting down to meditate and adjusting his breath, wanting to test if this Charm Skill would be effective for him.

When the night passed into the third watch, Xu Qing opened his eyes, and a flash of demonic red light flickered and disappeared.

The outside world tended towards tranquility, he activated the Qi Observation Skill, looking around, the surrounding five-colored Gale Qi was stable, with no signs of human presence.

Xu Qing had a thought, the next moment the Box Garden from the Mountain and River Map appeared in his hand.

Entering the Box Garden alone, Xu Qing found Bai Luo’s corpse, then turned the pages of the Sutra of Salvation.

Bai Luo, originally named Xu Xiwen, hailed from Hejing, was a young master of a prominent family, but because of his combative nature, he was often punished and admonished by his father.

Xu’s father, seeing that he was incorrigible, arranged a marriage for him, thinking that once his son became a family man, he would settle down.

On the night of his wedding, Xu Xiwen got heavily drunk, and upon entering the bridal chamber, seeing the delicate bride, he couldn’t help his burning desire, even wanting to swallow her alive.

Yet it was on that very night that Xu Xiwen, with his innate cruelty, in the bridal chamber, accidentally strangled his wife to death.

The maid who was part of the bridal dowry, seeing her lady’s face turn blue and limp, ran out crying and shouting.

Xu Xiwen, seeing this, could not let the matter be exposed, so he killed the maid too.

A few half-grown lads eavesdropping outside the door sensed something was wrong and rushed to inform the elders.

Who was Xu Xiwen? Since young, he enjoyed playing with swords and sticks, and the old masters at the martial arts hall all praised his extraordinary talent, saying he was a natural-born martial artist.

Once such a person had murderous intent, it was unstoppable!

Upon hearing noises outside, without a word, he drew his sword with savage force and rushed out to kill.

He encountered panicked guests and killed them.

He ran into the bride’s brother, his brother-in-law, and killed him.

The bride’s parents wailed and cried, and he killed them.

When the wedding feast, draped in red silk and lanterns, turned into Yama Hell, Xu Xiwen finally sobered up.

Seeing the joyous day turned into a funeral feast by himself, Xu Xiwen’s heart was finally touched.

Besides a few guests who managed to escape, the only ones still alive in the main hall were his trembling old parents.

Xu’s father clutched his chest, a trembling hand pointing at Xu Xiwen, unable to utter a word.

"I hate, I hate that the Xu Family gave birth to such a beast as you, I should have strangled you to death back then."

Xu Xiwen lowered his eyelids, and when the old parents finished cursing and crying, he raised his head with an eerie smile.

That night, the fire at the Xu Family burned fiercely until dawn, never dying out.

Since then, Xu Xiwen’s portraits had appeared on Sea Capture Orders across every prefecture and district.

But by then, Xu Xiwen had already joined the under the banner of the Celestial Heart Sect, becoming the most appreciated rising star of the Saint Master.

Xu Qing saw that Xu Xiwen was conferred the title of Bai Luo by the Celestial Heart Saint Master and learned why Bai Luo was pursued thousands of miles by Zuo Zixiong and Cui Yuanlong.

The reason was this capricious, inherently cruel killing star had slaughtered three entire households in the capital.

Moreover, these households were all wiped out by Bai Luo during wedding feasts.

And the methods he used were exactly like that night with the Xu Family.

Before this, Xu Qing had never seen anyone with such a savage temperament.

The scene shifted to Liu Youdao’s decapitated head.

Behind Liu Youdao was a group of Walking Corpses. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Xu Qing saw himself in Bai Luo’s revolving lantern.

Who could have thought, the Walking Corpses who dared not move back then became Bai Luo’s lifetime impasse.

Xu Qing continued to watch, mostly involving Bai Luo and the Celestial Heart Sect planning the assassination of the Crown Prince.

The useful information was scarce, but he obtained a key message—the hiding place of one of the Celestial Heart Sect’s Five Luo Guardians, Qing Luo.

This location was a residence Bai Luo arranged for Qing Luo, right in an alley in Jinmen Prefecture City.

Xu Qing took note of that address, hence the end of Bai Luo’s life.

Afterward, the Sutra of Salvation gave rewards: a top-grade Sinan Sword Technique, a Human Skin Mask, and a flask of wine.

The Sinan Sword Technique, when mastered, could target the enemy’s fatal points, even the most agile person would be no match in front of this sword technique.

The Human Skin Mask could alter one’s appearance, regardless of age or gender, with just a thought.

The flask contained Heart-Eroding Wine, a single sip could erase emotions, turning a person into a pure killing machine.

Luckily, the effect of a flask was only for an hour, akin to a Demon Dao drug that stimulated potential.

Xu Qing opened the wine seal, sniffed it, and immediately felt a surge of agitation, with a bloodlust instinct ready to explode.

This thing was too dangerous, it couldn’t be easily used unless absolutely necessary.

...

Two days later, Li Zhong and his group escorted the Crown Prince’s coffin to Linhe Wharf, planning to return to Luojing by water route, taking the official ship.

It was also on this day, soon after Li Zhong left, the Crown Prince regained his sanity.

"It’s over! My lifetime of reputation ruined in an instant!"

Zhu Huai’an had been secluding himself in his room for a long time, refusing to open the door no matter who knocked.

At this moment, besides Zhu Huai’an himself, no one else in the residence knew he had regained consciousness.

"Or should I continue pretending to be mad?"

Zhu Huai’an’s mind was in turmoil, filled with scenes of asking his wet nurse for a hug and for milk.

Following that, he was sucking pebbles, treating them as Immortal Pills.

These moments were still within his acceptable range, but what he couldn’t bear was that the base servant Li Zhong dared to incite him to eat...

The key point was he actually ate it!

"Bleugh—"

With nothing left to vomit, the Crown Prince couldn’t help but dry heave again.
