The saying goes: "Dark pupils and pure silver."
The shop assistant, upon seeing the gleaming silver, immediately beamed with joy, completely forgetting the instructions Lü Junchen had given when checking in that he did not wish to be disturbed. He repeatedly said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will go hire a carriage for you straight away... "
Saying so, he immediately rushed off like the wind.
With the shop assistant gone to hire a carriage, at the direction of Brother Parrot, Cai Wei confidently ascended the stairs and arrived at the room where Lü Junchen was hiding.
The moment he saw Cai Wei, Lü Junchen’s heart thumped fearfully, as if he had a premonition that his day was going to be bad. But still, he clung to a slight hope, attempting to intimidate her with a sinister smile, "What? Not running anymore? Aren’t you afraid that this young master may use you as a sacrificial vessel?"
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the floor, dressed in an indigo cotton robe. The original owner of the garment was already gone...
With a smile that did not reach her eyes, Cai Wei calmly sat down across from him, raising her eyebrows as she looked at him, "If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have come back!"
Her words clearly expressed her lack of fear, but Lü Junchen persisted, still attempting to threaten her, "In that case, this young master will oblige you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!"
"If you have the ability, I am willing to indulge you as well."
Cai Wei curled her lips into a bloodthirsty smile, stood up, and in slow, deliberate steps, advanced towards Lü Junchen.
Suddenly, an intangible force exerted a pressure on Lü Junchen, causing him to tense up. But his body remained immobile. Gritting his teeth and with a defiant glare, he asked Cai Wei, "What are you intending to do?"
Cai Wei brought out a sharp, precious sword from her personal space. Tapping it lightly against the palm of her hand, she stopped beside him and spoke softly, "What am I doing? Merely ridding the world of a menace and acting as Heaven’s executioner!"
She unsheathed the sword and held the cold blade against his neck. Her voice was as cold as freezing ice, "For your personal desires, you let more than thirty innocent maidens die tragically, causing their families a lifetime of grief. Lü Junchen, your sins are unforgivable, only death can atone for your crimes!"
The cold blade on his neck coupled with the woman’s deadly words marked his impending death, causing Lü Junchen to lose his composure. His fear exploded outwards, he shut his eyes and said in difficulty, "Miss Mu, causing harm to these girls was not my intention. It was Tianjizi, he instigated me to cultivate, he even promised to help me become the Overlord of the World. All these were his teachings."
Cai Wei coldly snorted, "Since you’re about to die, I might as well tell you frankly. Do you really think that he would be so selfless as to help you? He taught you to use girls as sacrificial vessels for dark arts, but aren’t you likewise a vessel for him to contain the dark arts he has taught you? He’s now weak and helpless, biding time until he recovers. And when he does, the first thing he will do during your moment of weakness during the day is to possess your body. And then, you’ll end up as a wandering soul in the Three Realms for eternity, unable to reincarnate. It’s ironic that you still revered him as a teacher, offering incense sticks to his idol every day."
Upon hearing her words, Lü Junchen’s mouth fell open in shock, he murmured, "That demon tricked me... he actually tricked me..."
With a mocking laugh, Cai Wei stood up, returning the precious sword to its scabbard, "Ha, if you were honest in your intentions, how could he have deceived you? The two of you are as bad as each other, both deserving of death. Thousands of cuts and minces are not enough to placate public anger!"
Having said that, she lifted her hand and struck one of his acupoints.
Lü Junchen, having been struck on his acupoint, widened his eyes in disbelief, as if wanting to ask her, ’What are you going to do?’
