Chapter 383 Dark Chess
During the past month, Ye Tong received meticulous training from the sect leader of the Heavenly Evil Sect, and his cultivation level actually reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. In fact, Ye Tong had been hiding his strength all along, and was already at the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Hmm, not bad, Tong'er. Your cultivation has improved very quickly, but don't be arrogant, you must continue to work hard! In the future, you will take over my position!" The Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect said encouragingly.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation!" Ye Tong said respectfully and excitedly.
"Yes, I have seen your efforts over the past month. However, if you want to reach higher levels, sometimes cultivation alone is not enough!" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master said again.
"What does Master mean?" Ye Tong asked, puzzled.
"You still need to gain more experience. I'm going to give you a task! Are you confident you can complete it?" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master said.
Ye Tong nodded, his meaning clear.
"Alright, you must know that guy named Ke Bai, right? He's your training mission, he's your target!" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master said slowly.
"What! Ke Bai!" Ye Tong's killing intent surged, and he became somewhat agitated. However, he suddenly remembered the look in Ke Bai's eyes that day, like that of an ancient ferocious beast, and his body involuntarily trembled! It was as if he was afraid!
"No! I can't possibly be afraid of him! I can't possibly lose to him!" Ye Tong suddenly became somewhat obsessed.
When the sect leader of the Heavenly Evil Sect saw that Ye Tong was in bad shape, he immediately pointed a finger at Ye Tong's brow.
"Wake up!" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master shouted.
"Disciple knows his sins!" Ye Tong suddenly came to his senses, not understanding why things had turned out this way.
In fact, it was Bai Ke who orchestrated this scheme when he used his aura to oppress Ye Tong that day, employing the Demon Seed Technique of the Dao Heart—a completely undetectable act. If the Heavenly Evil Sect Master hadn't arrived in time, Ye Tong would certainly have suffered at least mental and spiritual damage, leading to a cultivation deviation!
"It seems you have quite a grudge against Ke Bai! But your obsession runs too deep!" said the sect leader of Tianxie Sect. He thought that Ye Tong and Bai Ke had some deep-seated hatred and long-standing feud that led to this situation, and Ye Tong thought so too.
"However, this is for the best. As long as you sever this obsession, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds! Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and fortune is unpredictable!" said the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect.
"Master, please rest assured! I will definitely kill him to prove my Dao! However, this person has a special physique, and I'm afraid I am no match for him for the time being!" Ye Tong said somewhat awkwardly.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect smiled and said, "Hehe, it's alright, I will help you. Actually, your grandfather Ye Wentian and I are old acquaintances, and you should call me grandfather."
"Is that why you accepted me as your disciple?" Ye Tong said somewhat dejectedly, fearing that he was not as good as Bai Ke.
"Haha, of course not! It's mainly because you're suitable for my cultivation technique inheritance!" After saying that, the Heavenly Evil Sect Master took out two secret manuals from his storage ring.
"Here are two secret manuals. One is my Heavenly Evil Sect's inheritance; the other is... a Heaven-Defying inheritance, but the technique might be a bit domineering. Which one do you want?" The Heavenly Evil Sect Master asked, staring intently into Ye Tong's eyes.
"Will I be able to defeat Ke Bai after completing my first course?"
"Hehe, to be honest, although your aptitude is very high, it's still not as good as his! You may never be able to defeat him with your own hands in this lifetime! Unless!" The Heavenly Evil Sect Master continued.
"This disciple is willing to learn a second set!" Ye Tong said decisively.
"Good! I wasn't wrong about you, and neither was your grandfather!" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master said with satisfaction. In truth, if Ye Tong hadn't been willing to learn the second method, he would have killed Ye Tong without hesitation!
Ye Tong borrowed the manual, which read: "Nine Revolutions of Killing."
Prove your path through killing! The more you kill, the higher your cultivation level! One kill, one transformation! One turn, one universe! Just from the name, you can tell how terrifying this cultivation technique is. Breaking through to the sixth stage allows you to enter the True Immortal realm!
Ye Tong looked at the cultivation technique with excitement, and upon closer inspection, he noticed that even the Heavenly Evil Sect Master had a hint of envy and greed in the depths of his eyes!
"Thank you so much, Master! I will never forget your kindness!" Ye Tong said, kneeling down with emotion.
"Alright, you may leave now. Focus on cultivating the first three stages of your cultivation as soon as possible!" said the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect.
Ye Tong respectfully withdrew.
Just as Ye Tong left, he saw the Heavenly Evil Sect Master suddenly kneel down in the void behind him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect said respectfully, kneeling.
"Very good, this kid not only possesses great fortune. Hehe, very good!" The cold voice was mixed with excitement and exhilaration, and a strange light flashed in the mysterious man's eyes.
"My lord, aren't you overestimating this kid by entrusting him with such a precious item?" said the sect master of the Heavenly Evil Sect.
"Hmm?" The mysterious man stared coldly at the Heavenly Evil Sect Master.
All that could be seen was that the Heavenly Evil Sect Master suddenly turned pale, was in excruciating pain, and seemed to be trembling in his soul!
"My lord, spare my life! I know I was wrong!" The sect leader of the Heavenly Evil Sect begged like a dog.
After a while, the Heavenly Evil Sect Master was in so much pain that he was about to faint, and only then did the mysterious person release him.
"Hmph! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't think what you shouldn't think!" the mysterious man said coldly.
"Yes, yes!" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master said, his body trembling.
"Do a good job! If you haven't finished by the time you come back next time, you should know what it feels like to be worse than dead!" the mysterious man said.
"Rest assured, my lord! I will certainly complete the mission!" the Heavenly Evil Sect Master said fearfully.
It wasn't until half an hour after the mysterious man disappeared that he dared to raise his head and slowly get up from the ground.
No one could have imagined that the seemingly powerful and influential Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect was actually less than a dog in front of this mysterious person!
……
"Fatty, you've worked hard these past few days! You've done a great job," Bai Ke said admiringly.
"Hehe, you flatter me, boss. This is all the fat guy can do," Ge Yuan said, scratching his head.
"Hehe, no need to be modest! How did it go with me keeping an eye on Ye Tong?" Bai Ke asked.
"Oh! This brat is always cultivating. And believe it or not, it seems like he's broken through again! But he's still far behind you, boss," the fat man said.
Ye Tong's breakthrough in cultivation was within Bai Ke's expectations, so it's not a problem.
"Report to me immediately if there are any special circumstances," Bai Ke said.
"Oh, by the way, this kid has been going out to train like crazy these past few days. I don't know where he's been. He looks like he's killed a lot of people."
"Oh?" Bai Ke thought for a moment. Although he felt something was wrong, he didn't know the specifics. He could only instruct Ge Yuan to increase the number of people keeping a close watch on him, promising a generous reward for any information.
“Boss, although his cultivation is not bad, he is only at the Nascent Soul stage after all. Should we ask Feng Manlou to help him?” Ge Yuan said.
"No need to act for now! I'll come personally when the opportunity arises." Bai Ke planned to remain still until the very moment he did act, and then strike decisively. He would never send someone to deliver experience points to someone else.
Bai Ke would not let his guard down against such a person and would definitely kill him if given the chance.
