I risked my life, using the butterfly effect to shatter the immortal realm.

A blood-red chain hovered three inches between his brows.

The chill was like needles, pricking Yu Liang's pineal gland, causing it to throb wildly.

Soul Search.

Once Tie Wuqing's divine sense penetrates, the truth about the black line connecting the heavens and the farm that treats all living beings as livestock will instantly explode.

At that time, not only will Zizhu Peak be wiped out, but the entire Qingxuan Sect will be reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Dao.

There's no turning back.

Gambling with your life.

Causal deception, initiated.

Cost: Hearing loss in the left ear.

Snapped.

The world fell silent for a moment, leaving only the cacophony of wind in my right ear and the pounding of my heart.

"slow--!"

Yu Liang's voice cracked from shouting.

Instead of dodging, he pushed his wheelchair straight into the deadly chain, his neck veins bulging and his eyes bloodshot.

Like a mad dog that has suffered a tremendous injustice.

"Elder Tie! You want to search my soul? Fine! Search!"

Yu Liang pointed to his skull, spitting everywhere, and sprayed Tie Wuqing's face with his saliva.

"But before you kill me, open your eyes and take a look! What exactly are these three lumps of rotten flesh lying on the ground?!"

Tie Wuqing frowned, his protective aura dismissively flicking away his spittle.

Is this kid crazy?

These are clearly three human cultivators. Although their faces are rotten, their bones and meridians cannot lie.

"Still playing dumb?" Yu Liang gave a bitter laugh, then suddenly turned his head. "A-Tuo, try and sow discord among the elders!"

On the armrest of the wheelchair, the mythical alpaca proudly raises its neck.

It had long disliked these three dead men; the eerie smell emanating from them was even stronger than stale chive dumplings.

"Pah—spit!"

A large clump of dark green phlegm, which had been fermenting in the three stomachs for who knows how long, with an astonishing stickiness, precisely covered the three corpses.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

A strange reaction occurred.

Under the dual catalysis of the divine beast's saliva and the deception of cause and effect, the three originally charred corpses suddenly began to convulse violently.

It felt like something was frantically pushing against me from under my skin.

"Look! Look at them all!"

Yu Liang roared, like a prophet revealing the truth.

puff!

A long black hair pierced the corpse's skin.

Then came the second one, the third one...

In the blink of an eye, dense black hairs, like wildly growing weeds, sprouted from every pore of the corpse, twisting and tangling in the air.

The original human form instantly transformed into a wriggling black ball of fur.

The stench was overwhelming.

That smelled like dead rats fermenting in the sewers for ten thousand years.

"vomit--!"

The disciples who were nearby covered their mouths and vomited on the spot.

"This is..." Tie Wuqing's pupils dilated in shock, and he subconsciously took half a step back, his protective aura crackling from the stench.

This thing was beyond his comprehension.

"A demon has appeared beyond our realm!"

Yu Liang was filled with grief and indignation, pointing at the ball of fur, his voice trembling.

"Ancient texts record that this demon feeds on cultivators' hair, blocking their Heavenly Gate and hindering their path to enlightenment! They parasitize the human body, sucking out brain marrow, and are immortal!"

"In order to 'bless' my fellow disciples and to force out such a prodigy, I am willing to bear the infamy and damage my own foundation!"

Yu Liang raised his bloodied left hand, missing two fingers, and waved it in front of Tie Wuqing.

Blood droplets landed on Tie Wuqing's snow-white Taoist robe.

shocking.

"I even lost a finger! And you're accusing me of murder?"

Yu Liang's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Elder Tie, is your heart made of iron?!"

The entire room fell silent.

Only that ball of fluff was still making a sizzling sound.

Tie Wuqing looked at the indescribable monster, then at Yu Liang whose hands were covered in blood, and a crack appeared in his rock-solid Dao heart.

The logic... seems to be a closed loop?

Will a normal person turn into a hairy ball after death? No.

That's a monster.

Since they are monsters, Yu Liang killing them is an act of eliminating evil and protecting the righteous path.

As for shaving his head... that's to prevent hair demons from infesting him!

"I see……"

In the crowd, Wang Yi touched his shiny bald head, suddenly realizing what had happened, and looked terrified.

"No wonder my scalp has been itchy for the past few years, and my cultivation has stagnated! Turns out it's because of this thing growing in my brain!"

"Master Yu... no, Benefactor Yu! You did this to save us!"

puff.

Wang Yi knelt down.

Thump, thump.

More than twenty bald men knelt down in unison, looking at the disgusting ball of fur, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and boundless admiration for Yu Liang.

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

The sound was deafening.

Tie Wuqing stood frozen in place, the blood-red chain in his hand flickering awkwardly twice before finally dissipating.

Facts speak louder than words.

The fur has grown out, how could it be fake?

But he always felt that something was wrong.

The three corpses clearly had tattoos of the Heavenly Sword Peak's secret service on the back of their necks...

and many more.

What about tattoos?

Tie Wuqing stared intently.

That wildly growing clump of black hair had long since completely covered up any tattoos or other features.

Now, let alone recognizing them as people from Tianjian Peak, it's impossible to even tell if they're human or not.

at the same time.

At the summit of Tianjian Peak, deep within the sea of ​​clouds.

Inside a suspended palace constructed from countless counting rods.

Snapped.

A black jade chess piece turned to dust between two slender fingers.

Looking at the water mirror before him, Zhuge Yuan, the master of the Heavenly Secrets, saw a crack appear on his usually calm and composed face for the first time.

The mirror reflected the absurd scene at Zizhu Peak.

"Good tactic."

Tianjizi spoke softly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Turning suicide squad members into monsters and using public opinion to coerce the law enforcement hall."

"If I were to step forward and claim these three people now, it would be an admission that Tianjian Peak is raising demons and harming its fellow disciples."

"If you don't admit it..."

Then they could only watch helplessly as their carefully cultivated elite dark forces turned into a pile of rotten flesh, and they would be branded as "the demons" on the spot.

This is a dead end.

A scheme that is both utterly shameless and incredibly clever.

"A variable... indeed a variable."

Tianjizi closed his eyes and gently tapped the table with his fingertips.

Since we can't calculate it, we have no choice but to discard the piece.

hum.

A subtle fluctuation of divine thought pierced through the clouds and reached the Purple Bamboo Peak Square.

The indifferent voice of Tianjizi rang in Tie Wuqing's ears.

"These three are traitors from their sect who disappeared many years ago. They are suspected of practicing evil arts and going mad. They deserve to die."

Tie Wuqing shuddered.

Even Tianjizi has spoken?

This was tantamount to a final decision, sealing the fate of these three people.

"call……"

Tie Wuqing exhaled a breath of stale air, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Yu Liang changed.

It went from watching death row inmates to watching an... unfathomable monster.

"In that case..."

With a wave of his sleeve, Tie Wuqing unleashed a burst of fire that reduced the three disgusting tufts of fur to ashes.

"Yu Liang has rendered meritorious service in eliminating demons, and his previous absurd acts will be forgiven."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

This Purple Bamboo Peak is too eerie; he doesn't want to stay here a moment longer.

"Wait!"

Yu Liang shouted again.

Tie Wuqing froze, veins throbbing on his forehead: "What else do you want?"

At this moment, Yu Liang was slumped in his wheelchair, his face as pale as paper, and a stream of black blood was slowly flowing from his left ear.

But his eyes were frighteningly bright.

That's the look in a miser's eyes when he sees mountains of gold and silver.

"Elder Tie, the score can't be settled like this."

Yu Liang shakily pulled an abacus from his pocket and started clicking away with one hand.

"Exorcising demons is my duty, I accept it."

"But these three 'hair demons' dirtied my Purple Bamboo Peak, terrified my divine beast Atuo, and even caused me to suffer a work injury while saving people..."

"Compensation for emotional distress, site cleanup fees, lost wages, medical expenses..."

With each item Yu Liang mentioned, Tie Wuqing's face darkened further.

"A total of 50,000 spirit stones."

Yu Liang handed the abacus to Tie Wuqing with a righteous air.

"Shouldn't the Enforcement Hall ask... um, for this money on behalf of the 'families' of these three monsters?"

Family members?

Who are the "family members" of these three monsters?

That's Heavenly Sword Peak!

This kid is trying to extort money from Tianjizi!

Tie Wuqing gasped.

madman.

That's absolutely insane.

Not only did they kill someone's dog, but they also demanded that the owner pay for the dog food!

"To slay the demon, my Yu Liang even lost all his savings for his future wife!"

Beside her, Su Xiu, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly rushed out, clutching a pile of broken metal from the battle, and cried her heart out.

"This is a workplace injury! The Enforcement Division can't ignore it!"

Sing together.

Utterly shameless.

Looking at this odd couple, Tie Wuqing felt his Dao heart was teetering on the brink of collapse.

"I will report this to the sect leader."

Tie Wuqing gritted his teeth, uttered those words, and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

escaped.

The dignified head of the Enforcement Hall was scared away by a rogue in the Qi Refining stage.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The disciples of the Bald God Cult were still grateful to Yu Liang, wishing they could build a shrine for him.

Yu Liang slumped in his wheelchair, feeling completely drained.

I can no longer hear in my left ear.

But he won.

Not only did they save their lives and preserve that shocking secret, they also took a vicious bite out of the mastermind behind it all.

"Su Xiu".

Yu Liang's voice was weak.

"I'm here. The spirit stones haven't arrived yet, so don't die." Su Xiu wiped away non-existent tears and came closer.

"Did you record the scene where those people went crazy, knelt down, and called me their benefactor?"

"It's been recorded, 360 degrees without any blind spots."

Su Xiu patted the bulging storage bag, her eyes gleaming with cunning.

"very good."

Yu Liang's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Let's edit it."

"Accompanied by solemn music, starting tomorrow, I will let the entire outer sect know..."

"What does it mean to 'buy peace with money'? What does it mean to 'be bald is the only standard to judge good looks'?"

Summit of Tianjian Peak

Tianjizi stared at the completely shattered fate tablet and remained silent for a long time.

On the simulation board, a cloud of mist suddenly rose around the chess piece representing Yu Liang.

Can't see clearly.

I can't figure it out.

"interesting."

Tianjizi slowly placed a piece, and the entire chessboard made a crisp sound as a corner cracked.

"Since we can't calculate it accurately, then..."

"Erase the entire chessboard."
