Chapter 44: Manual Rebirth
At the border
The night breeze ift as it whistled through the tiny town between its scattered houses
<figure id=”attachure>
Along the entire street, only one s it a bit of life
The so-called ‘border’ wasn’t the boundary between two countries or two cities, but rather the demon world and human world
The two races were separated into different worlds Originally, there was still a space-rending Endless Abyss that served as a partition in the middle, but there were always a feeak spots in the for time and space to be in disorder One could often find residents of both worlds passing through those spots to run away, and things likeacross the border was a common occurrence as well
No normal person would want to live in a place where the des one day before co murder and arson the next Therefore, the population at the border becah it used to be a flourishi+ng metropolis, many people moved away once the space between the different worlds started to blur together Only the disciples of the sects that cauard the border
Lu Liu poured a bowl of hot wine for the newcos with him and a few other people as they surrounded the stove “Brother, where did you come from?”
“Frolanced at each other beforeexpressions “It isn’t easy to cross that area right now, is it?”
The newcomer held up his bowl of wine and frowned “Who said it is? There’s a fight al”
So Mountain and Huan Hua Palace can both be considered one of the four big sects, so why have they stirred up so much trouble these past few years? Disciples fro if they see each other Why don’t the two Sect Masters do so about it?”
Lu Liu said, “How many years have you stayed in this cursed, God-forsaken place? You’ve been gone for too long These disciples only fight so furiously because those two Sect Masters tacitly agreed to it!”
“Why’s that? Brother Liu, you should explain it a bit”
Lu Liu cleared his throat and said, “This is couys knoho the current head of the Huan Hua Palace is?”
“I heard that it’s a young brat”
Lu Liu laughed coldly “If Luo Binghe can be called a young brat, then both you and I don’t need to live any to talk about this Luo Binghe He ca Peak’s Shen Qingqiu’s head disciple Back then, during the Ie in That was truly impressive”
So Mountain sect, then how can he be the head of Huan Hua Palace?”
“After the I for three years, and nobody knehere he went or what he did during those three years At that tiqiu said that he had passed away, so everyone believed that he was already dead Who would’ve thought that, three years later, he would ure in Huan Hua Palace? He forced Shen Qingqiu to self-destruct then and there at Huayue City”
The newcoqiu wronged, or did he deserve to die?”
Lu Liu said, “Who can say The Cang Qiong Mountain sect has definitely been united in their treatment towards outsiders: they beat up whoever ; they recognize faossip about sohua defecting to the de after what happened at Huayue City, Huan Hua Palace’s peak position changed hands The Old Palace Master retired, and now you can’t even find his shadow anyhe becaht it up, he’d kill them”
Someone muttered, “Just because of a dead person”
Lu Liu said, “The disturbance that this dead person created wasn’t s Mountain sect, and he also used to be the Second Peak’s Peak Lord His body definitely should have been sent back to Qing Jing Peak to be buried with the previous Peak Lords—but the problehe refused to return the body”
Everyone thought of Luo Binghe doing so it on display, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end “If he refuses to return it, wouldn’t Cang Qiong Mountain sect forcefully steal it back? Bai Zhan Peak’s Peak Lord is still here”
Lu Liu shrugged “He can’t defeat him”
“What?!” Everyone’s worldvieere destroyed In the common people’s minds, Bai Zhan Peak’s Lord had always been like an undefeatable battle God “He can’t defeat hi that was … truly unacceptable
Lu Liu said, “You guys don’t know? After Huayue City, Bai Zhan Peak’s Liu Qingge fought countless tihe, but he never won once! That’s not the end of it either When Luo Binghe brought Shen Qingqiu’s body back to Huan Hua Palace, only a few days passed before he personally abducted Qian Cao Peak’s Mu Qingfang”
Soarded worldly affairs, healing the wounded and rescuing the dying How did he provoke this tyrant?”
Lu Liu said, “Luo Binghe dragged hiqiu” He sighed as he said, “His corpse had already stiffened What was there to revive?”
The newco Mountain sect always liked to call Huan Hua Palace ‘the demon race’s lackey’ Why do they say that?”
Lu Liu said, “That’s because the entire Cang Qiong Mountain sect, for sohe is associated with the deh countless Zhao Hua Temple elders personally inspected hihe’s body works nor Mountain sect still persistently calls hie on each other, and the hatred between the two sects just keeps growing and growing Inboils over and nobody will need to live anyet to console the that ere sent to guard the border, leisurely and idly”
The person in the corner said, confused, “I still don’t understand what happened between this pair of master and disciple and the two sects”
“One explanation is a hatred as deep as the sea But there’s still another explanation that I, Old Lu, find uys…” Lu Liu was about to happily continue speaking when, suddenly, the sound of knocking came from the door
Everyone in the room was instantly on alert, and their previous exhaustion and sluggishness ept away at once as they each readied their oeapons
The population at the border was scarce, and it was extremely bleak and desolate They were the only teauard the border, and those on patrol outside wouldn’t return so fast The few re death in the ht to stroll around
nobody answered fro pause, there were two more raps on the door
Lu Liu said severely, “Who is it!”
Suddenly, a cold wind blew across, extinguishi+ng the oil laed into pitch darkness, leaving only the diht of the coals in the stove to burn faintly
The shadow of a ainst the paperof the door The person said in a loud and clear voice, “Brother Liu, it’s me It was too cold today, so I came back first Let me in quickly so I can drink a cup of wine to warm myself up”
All the other people let out the breaths they were holding and berated hi on the door without saying anything—if we didn’t know better ould’ve thought that you were eaten by a ghost!”
The person outside the door chuckled Lu Liu felt that soht but couldn’t pinpoint just what it was, so he said, “Coust of cold wind blew directly in from outside It was coht the laht the lamp!”
The newco fingers, and the treht of the fire cast their shadows He hadn’t lit the candle yet before he turned around again He stuttered, “Brother Liu, I… I want to ask you so”
Lu Liu said i time for?”
