Chapter 237: Look at What? Just Die for Me! (4)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
In the gleam of Su Yang’s eyes, a few traces of killing intent flashed.
It had always been him on the losing end, and no one had ever gotten the better of him.
If it weren’t for being stuck in this damned closed-loop world, Su Yang would have already cut down that injured Daoist.
Su Yang’s speculations differed from those of Cao Tianle and others.
He had more information at his disposal, and upon witnessing the scene at Doctor Liu’s home, Su Yang directly used his Karmic Sword technique to deduce the truth in the outside world.
To clarify who was behind this, with all his efforts in the deduction, it took a bit of time, but he was able to pinpoint the injured Daoist as the culprit.
“Very well… It seems you truly deserve to die.”
Originally, when the injured Daoist demanded the demonic elixir and the heart’s blood from him, he refused, and the Daoist uttered threats.
Su Yang was contemplating whether he could kill the injured Daoist because the Daoist had already shown hostility towards him, and it didn’t bode well for what might come next.
However, he also knew that with his current strength, it might be a bit difficult to kill the injured Daoist, so he refrained from acting directly.
At the moment, he still couldn’t defeat the injured Daoist. If their mission to break the closed-loop world failed this time, he would have the opportunity to kill the injured Daoist when he entered again next time.
The injured Daoist had the complete power of the fifth level of Qi cultivation, which was his strength before getting injured, but in his severely wounded state, his power had greatly diminished.
Su Yang would naturally have a chance to kill him when the time was right.
“That Daoist truly deserves to die. If we were in the outside world, I would definitely flay him alive, extinguish his soul, and torment him until death!” Cao Tianle clenched his teeth.
“Sudao friend, what should we do now?” Su Yang shook his head and said, “There’s nothing we can do. Let’s wait for a while to see if there’s any change. If nothing changes before nightfall, we’ll return to the Red Sun Cave in the White Mang Mountains. Perhaps there will still be a glimmer of hope.”
“If that doesn’t work, then we’ll wait for the next recurrence of the closed-loop world. We’ll seize the opportunity to deal with that Daoist. We can’t let him affect us. I want to see if we can break the closed-loop world once we get rid of that old fellow.”
“Alright.” Su Yang’s suggestion was the best option at present, and there was no other way.
“Let’s go and check on Gu Daofeng to see if there’s any situation over there.
He’s been keeping an eye on Village Chief Liu for some time now.”
Since they couldn’t assist in refining pills here anymore, Su Yang didn’t want to waste any more time. He planned to see if there was anything unusual about Village Chief Liu because the thread of fate pointed in his direction, and the issue had not been unearthed yet.
After inquiring with Gu Daofeng, they still couldn’t find any clues.
Village Chief Liu had behaved completely normally throughout the day, either helping the villagers with their problems or tending to his own affairs. There was nothing out of the ordinary, and he didn’t require any help.
But the more normal things appeared, the more Su Yang felt that something was definitely amiss. After all, the thread of fate pointed so clearly in this direction, and Su Yang wasn’t sure what the problem was.
Unfortunately, his current strength wasn’t enough to decipher the information within the thread of fate. If he could, he would have been able to directly discern what events the thread of fate represented.
For now, all he could do was have Gu Daofeng continue to watch over Village Chief Liu while they went to visit the Liu Village Hunting Team.
Now that they had dealt with the snake demon, they didn’t know if they could gain any benefits from the Liu Village Hunting Team. After all, the hunting team was eager to eliminate the snake demon.
Previously, they hadn’t gone to the hunting team immediately because they had wanted to deliver the snake demon’s demon core and heart’s blood to Doctor Liu. But now that Doctor Liu was dead, Su Yang’s understanding of the variables indicated that the hunting team and Village Chief Liu were the only two remaining possibilities.
For now, there were no leads regarding Village Chief Liu, and it was possible that the hunting team wouldn’t have any either. Their existence might just be directing them toward the Red Sun Cave in the White Mang Mountains.
They would find out after inquiring with the hunting team.
After Su Yang and his group arrived at the hunting team, they received gratitude but no tangible rewards. This confirmed Su Yang’s conjecture that the hunting team was merely providing a direction and not revealing any other useful information.
Once they left the hunting team, there was only one thing left to do: keep an eye on Village Chief Liu and attempt to uncover any issues he might have. Perhaps there would still be some opportunity for a breakthrough.
If they couldn’t find any opportunities through Village Chief Liu, their only choice would be to hide in the Red Sun Cave overnight. If they could survive the night, they would have a chance to break the closed-loop world once and for all.
The plan seemed optimistic, but Su Yang wasn’t as confident. They had left too many unused resources in this world, such as materials from the third-level Qi Cultivator pig demon and the fourth-level Qi Cultivator snake demon. They hadn’t utilized these materials to boost their strength. In a closed-loop world where every detail could determine success or failure, losing two significant sources of help essentially meant the mission’s failure.
However, Su Yang didn’t mind. This time, he considered it an opportunity to gather information and fully experience a day in the closed-loop world. When they entered tomorrow, it would be time to completely shatter the closed-loop world..
