Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but Thunderbolt Taoist Sect

Yue Wuque's accusations received no support. There were only three people in front of him: two accused of bullying, and one who was more familiar with the person who bullied him. He felt isolated and helpless.

"If I had known I would be bullied by the two of you if I had come, I would have preferred to go find someone else."

As Yue Wuque continued his accusations, he drank cup after cup of wine. Seeing him drinking non-stop, Yuan Wuxiang took the initiative to walk over to Yue Wuque and introduce him to Ma Jiepu.

"This is Yu Shu Dan Gui Yue Wu Que, who is the legendary... the most unpopular person in the Daoist sect."

"boom!"

As expected, Yue Wuque was furious because of this comment.

"What kind of ridiculous comment is this? Who would be so tasteless as to make fun of such a beautiful woman?"

What does "the most unpopular person in Taoism" mean? Who is so unethical as to label him like this?

Isn't this a consensus?

Yuan Wuxiang acted as if nothing had happened after saying these words, completely unconcerned about Yue Wuque's questioning. After drinking so much, it was hard to say that Yue Wuque was sober.

After all, this person's alcohol tolerance... is a matter of opinion.

"Where did this consensus come from?"

"A consensus among many fellow practitioners of Taoism."

Juan Shoutian also came over and stood side by side with Yuan Wuxiang, between Ma Jiepu and Yue Wuque. If Ma Jiepu wanted to hit someone because of Yue Wuque's mouth, they could stop him.

Yue Wuque glanced at the wall in front of him, which was half gold and half silver, then tilted his head and walked around them. He looked at Ma Jiepu, whose thoughts had been interrupted by the sudden arrival of Shuangxiu and who was still not quite clear about what was going on. He understood what the two meant.

"Yu Ren didn't bully him; she just saw that the little fox wasn't helping with the key points, so she came to give him a heads-up. Did you two really need to do that?"

"Because of your reputation, we'd rather believe it's true than not."

"Juan Shoutian, not only are you bullying people, but now you're slandering Yu Ren. Yuan Wuxiang, are you really not going to care at all? There should be a limit to how much you spoil him, right?"

Seeing that the three were about to start arguing, Ma Jiepu remembered the question he hadn't finished asking earlier. Although Yue Wuque's attitude wasn't good when he appeared, he had been subtly pointing out things to him. Regarding the Yang family, he could tell that Yue Wuque was reminding him of something. He thought that Yue Wuque might just have a unique way of speaking, but he was still a good person.

From what Yuan Wuxiang said when he appeared, we can infer that Yue Wuque did not go looking for them when he left during the day. It is more likely that he stayed near the Yang family and may have witnessed the whole farce that happened at the Yang family today.

Judging from Yang Wanshi's performance today, he was indeed too weak. Ma Jiepu felt that today was just a special case, and that it was because several things piled up together that he behaved this way.

After being yelled at and sent back, Madam Yin went to cause trouble for Madam Wang. Given Madam Yin's temper, Madam Wang would definitely suffer a lot. However, from Yang Wanshi's tearful account, he did not hear that Madam Wang had been in trouble. It is very likely that Yue Wuque intervened to help.

So to sum it up, this person might just be a bit harsh in their words, but they are definitely a good person.

"So what happened to the Yang family later?"

Because he was more familiar with Juan Shoutian and Yuan Wuxiang, Ma Jiepu was inexplicably a little surprised when they came, which was reflected in the fact that he raised his voice when asking Yue Wuque questions.

Ma Jiepu's question drew the attention of the three men. They all knew what would happen to the Yang family in the future, and the subsequent events spanned too long a period of time. If they really wanted to solve the problem once and for all, it would be best to reveal everything now.

But how should I put these things...?

"Thanks to your good-for-nothing brother Yang."

The other two felt they should be more gentle. Ma Jiepu had a good relationship with the Yang brothers, and it might not be appropriate to talk about the harshness of the future now. But Yue Wuque didn't think so, and he chose to get straight to the point.

"Wang suffered a miscarriage, Yang Wanzhong threw himself into a well, and their father became a monk, resulting in the destruction of their family. This older brother is truly remarkable."

Both are older brothers, but look at Jian Zhe... no, look at Yuan Wuxiang. Even though they recognized each other later, he wouldn't let anyone bully Meng Danqing. He doesn't even get angry when drawing fan art of him.

In short, Yang Wanshi's rotten personality is beyond saving. Instead of trying to help him regain his husbandly authority, it would be better to let the two brothers separate the family as soon as possible and let Yang Wanshi and Madam Yin torment each other instead of harming others.

"...Are all of these true?"

It's said that it was because of Yang Wanshi, but given Yang Wanshi's personality, he wouldn't have done these things. It must have been Yin Shi who did it. Pointing out Yang Wanshi is probably because these were things Yang Wanshi should have stopped, but he didn't dare to defy Yin Shi and failed to stop any of them.

But tonight, Ma Jiepu used magic to create a giant to frighten Yin Shi. The crimes he listed were all things Yin Shi had actually done. If he could intimidate her tonight, she would definitely restrain herself in the future. This shouldn't be the case in the future.

"One of them isn't true: Wang was beaten and miscarried today, but Yu Ren stopped her."

He intervened today, saving Wang and the child's lives. But who knows what the future holds? They can't stay here forever. Judging from Yin's attitude, the child's safety after birth is uncertain.

"But these things are actually Yang family matters, and it wouldn't be good for us to interfere too much."

Seeing Yue Wuque sit down, Yuan Wuxiang very naturally handed him a glass of wine. Yue Wuque didn't think much of it, naturally took it, and drank it all in one gulp. Then...

"Boom."

Yue Wuque naturally collapsed onto the table. What breaks the camel's back may not be the last straw, but the last cup of wine at the critical point.

Juan Shoutian and Yuan Wuxiang stood on either side of the unconscious Yue Wuque, looking down at him.

"drunk?"

"He must be drunk."

Before they arrived, Yue Wuque had already drunk a lot of wine and was already half-drunk. Then he mixed the wine he brought with him and the wine in Ma Jiepu's room and drank it together. It was quite surprising that he only collapsed now.

"Don't worry, he's just drunk."

After comforting Ma Jiepu, who had suddenly collapsed and assumed something had happened, the two of them took the unconscious Yue Wuque away. It was already late at night, and it wouldn't be good to keep bothering him.

Having heard about the future tragic fate of the Yang family, Ma Jiepu needed time to process it, so he decided not to disturb them any further.

Yang Wanshi, who had become the center of attention for the three innate beings and the fox spirit, returned to find Yin Shi bound to the ground with countless crisscrossing knife wounds on her chest.

But the doors and windows were intact, and the servants outside did not find any trace of the culprit. Apart from Madam Yin, no one in the house was damaged. Yang Wanshi felt that it was Ma Jiepu who did it.

Starting from the second day, Madam Yin seemed to have become a different person. She lost her former arrogance, stopped scolding people, and became the obedient and well-behaved matriarch of the Yang family.

This was the effect Ma Jiepu wanted to achieve. Yin was afraid that another monster would come and rip out her heart, so she restrained her temper and served Yang Wanshi well. As long as this could continue, the Yang family could live a peaceful and ordinary life.

But when Ma Jiepu thought of Yue Wuque's words, he couldn't help but worry. He shouldn't have listened to others so easily. But neither Juan Shoutian nor Yuan Wuxiang denied those future possibilities. The cultivation and strength of the Xiantian people were far above his own. If the future really was like that, what method should he use to protect the Yang family?

……

"King Asura, you haven't explained the matter of the evil god yet."

Having been slashed by the suddenly appearing non-human creature, Lan Ying harbored a deep resentment. The evil god that the creature spoke of, Shou Wanjie, had never mentioned to their partners. The obvious hostility and terrifying pressure almost became another psychological trauma for Lan Ying.

The illegal transmigrators knew that Shou Wanjie was hiding something, such as his real name and actual background. They mainly turned a blind eye because he didn't seem like a respectable person and was also an outsider.

But the evil god... that sounds completely out of touch with the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. According to that guy, the Asura King is a subordinate of the "evil god," and there's also the so-called "Demon City" as an adversary. Where did these guys come from? The things they're hiding are too serious!

Lan Ying felt she had learned important information, so she rushed back without stopping and repeated Duanmie Chanti's words verbatim. When questioned, Shou Wanjie did not give any reaction, but just drank as usual, occasionally conjuring up a few cicadas to fly around, and watched others work from the side.

Regardless, a being called an "evil god" is no benevolent being. If the Asura King they are cooperating with is an underling of an evil god and is acting under the evil god's orders, they should reconsider the safety of cooperating with him.

Indeed, Shou Wanjie's joining them provided them with a lot of help, whether it was rescuing Lan Ying and Yi Yang from the enemy's hands or telling them that the number of legitimate transmigrators had increased from one to many. No matter how you look at it, the other party was helping them.

But if this help wasn't Shou Wanjie's original intention, but rather instructed by others behind the scenes, and his cooperation might even be part of the "Evil God's" plan, then what are they? Prey being double-crossed?

"Evil God?"

Once again, Shou Wanjie was stopped. To outsiders, he seemed to be in a state of daily idleness, intermittently helping others. This manifested as him loitering around while others were busy, and then stepping in to strike when one of the illegal transmigrators encountered something they couldn't handle.

Everyone says that King Asura is capricious, but the first time he truly lost his temper was when Yi Yang said that his cicada was a blue butterfly.

"You all just believe what that young lord of the Demon City said?"

“Since you know him, then the evil god is naturally telling the truth.”

Because of that white-haired, black-skinned humanoid creature, some people began to say that the Asura King was not the only one. Since the White Lotus Sect has so many factions, there is naturally no shortage of alternative voices.

The name of the Asura King gave rise to a sense of dominance, and many ambitious individuals were not willing to submit to him. Although the King of Asura King only made an appearance and did not make many extra moves, there were many eyewitnesses at the time, and his unique image was easily spread.

So some people said, since there is a bright red Asura King as the messenger leading the followers, why can't there be other messengers with white hair and wildness?

Through the process of collecting countless eons, others obtained the name "Severance of Icchantika". These images were only intended to appear once, and it didn't matter if the name was passed down. In any case, no matter how it was passed down, it was impossible for a real person to appear out of thin air.

"Annihilation" and "icchantika" are both Buddhist terms, isn't that perfect?

Thus, the White Lotus Sect emerged, which gathered people under the name of the demon slayer Chanti even though he was not present. It was clear that they were going against those who supported the Asura King. Shou Wanjie appeared in the public eye for very short periods each time. In the eyes of most uninformed people, the Asura King was just a newly created "god".

Unable to find a deity to worship, they created one based on their needs. This was a traditional skill of the White Lotus Sect. Half of the famous sects worshipped newly created deities, and they were extremely proficient in this process.

If you can create it, so can we. You Asura King, huh? We have the Annihilator here, why should you be the only one in power? Maybe ours is a king too, Demon King!

Ren Yunzong, who has already left but was forced to "don the yellow robe": Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not interested. Also, the Demon King is my father; if you need anything, please contact him, not me.

Because Shou Wanjie's main goal was not to strengthen the White Lotus Sect, but to infiltrate among the illegal transmigrators and observe their movements, he stayed in the core area. To others, he seemed to be just wandering around aimlessly, but in reality, Shou Wanjie had memorized everything they did.

"Someone has already challenged you by using the name 'Severing the Ignorant,' isn't the Asura King going to do anything about it?"

"The lineage of Chanti has long since retreated and is no longer capable of stirring up trouble. As for the evil gods... hah."

He accepted the cold laughter of countless calamities.

"It won't interfere with your plans, so there's no need to worry so much."

After all, what he wanted was to wipe them all out in one last round. Before that, Shou Wanjie would follow the illegal transmigrators and provide them with appropriate assistance so that they would have the energy to carry out the designated plan and recruit White Lotus Cult members as their manpower.

To put it bluntly, Shouwanjie is like raising pigs; once they reach the right size, they can be slaughtered.

"The brave win every battle, the wise win every time, but those who are both brave and wise are doomed. You don't want to be the last one, do you?"

"……certainly."

Nobody likes to fail.

"But you have to give an explanation for the evil god that guy mentioned."

The system couldn't find anything on Wan Jie, only a bunch of complicated forces entangled together. Could it be the work of the evil god? If the other party, like them, had signed a contract with some kind of being and was assigned by others, then besides their hostile legitimate system, that evil god was also very likely.

After all, it's called an evil god, so wanting to destroy the world is a very common premise.

"I have long since stopped obeying Orochi's orders, and the information in the Demon City is really outdated."

"Eight what?"

There were only two simple sounds, and Lan Ying didn't understand them. Shou Wanjie had already left, but it didn't matter. Yi Yang, who happened to be passing by, heard them clearly.

"What? Yamata no Orochi? Did Ashura King play online games?"

"...What game? Have you lost your mind?"

Look at Asura King's outfit, and the world that created him doesn't seem like a technological world at all, does it?

Liu Qingyuan: If it were other traditional Chinese style films, there wouldn't be too much technology involved, but with puppet shows, there are already Gundam robots...

Because the only criterion for illegal systems to find people is whether they are good or not, people from all walks of life and eras can be scouted out, such as Lan Ying and Yi Yang's understanding of the word "Orochi".

However, this was just a temporary lapse in judgment. Shou Wanjie's answer did not deviate from the identity setting he initially gave. It was all about Japan. Even if Lan Ying and the others wanted to investigate, they couldn't possibly travel across the ocean to the island nation in the east to ask.

Shou Wanjie: What I said is all true. You can search all you want, but you won't find anything anyway. But it is indeed the truth.
