Three-Border Slope?
Chen Tai couldn’t recall this place name in his memory.
But as the thugs in front of him spoke, his expression turned serious.
“Could it be that I’m not in my original world?”
There was no problem with Dragon Kingdom, and the issue with Shan Kingdom wasn’t too big either.
But various place names had changed.
“Forget it, if I can’t go back, then I can’t go back.”
Since I’m here, I’ll make the best of it.
This had always been Chen Tai’s motto.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so easily integrated into the life of the Demon Sect in his second life.
He even gradually climbed to the position of Sect Master.
And was there anything truly worth reminiscing about from his first life?
“Forget it, it’s been hundreds of years, I’ve long forgotten.”
Chen Tai shrugged, casually collecting another blood bead.
Turning around, he walked into the darkness.
Three-Border Slope was a good place.
The residents here were all talented, and they spoke so nicely.
Chen Tai loved this place.
Just a casual glance down any street.
Besides some women and children.
There was hardly anyone who didn’t have a dark cloud above their heads.
Chen Tai walked along.
The merchants he met along the way all had their eyes light up, and their greetings were much louder.
Of course, this wasn’t because Chen Tai looked particularly likable.
Granted, he was indeed tall and strong.
But these people were drawn to his Dragon Kingdom identity.
Dragon Kingdom people = big suckers.
Rich, good-natured, easy to exploit.
Unfortunately, the two thugs only had a few thousand local coins on them.
Converted to Great Nation currency, it was only a few dozen bucks.
Chen Tai could only politely decline the crocodile meat, snake meat, and roasted insects.
He couldn’t afford it.
Chen Tai had his own plan for the life ahead.
“First, I’ll find this guy called ‘Ba Zi Ge’ and get some money from him.”
“Then I’ll find a place and start practicing the ‘Five Poison Pharmacology’.”
“Hey, this vast, primordial forest has infinite resources, perfect for this secret technique.”
Chen Tai pondered as he walked.
All the while, he was trying hard to control the urge to kill everyone with a dark cloud above their heads that was welling up from his heart.
“The ‘Blood煞Secret 典’ is indeed useful, but you must restrain your killing intent, otherwise, if you’re not careful, you’ll truly fall into the path of demons.”
The Underworld Sacred Sect, which he had joined, was the authentic branch of the Demon Way.
It emphasized the supreme path of controlling demons and refining demons.
Not the inferior skills of immersing oneself in demonhood.
Naturally, during this process, there were also those disciples who couldn’t control their desires and fell into demonhood, becoming neither human nor ghost.
Chen Tai didn’t want to become like that.
“However~"
Chen Tai made a magic gesture, looking inward and seeing a tiny speck of gold in his sea of consciousness.
“Unexpectedly, there’s merit in this life too?”
Can Demon Cultivators obtain merit?
Of course, they can.
Heaven and Earth are impartial, treating all living things as mere playthings.
The Dao is the most fair thing.
Otherwise, how could there be so many ghost gods and demon gods among the guardians of the Buddhist sect?
Aren’t they all just getting whitewashed?
Even in Chen Tai’s second life, when he was the Sect Master of the Underworld Sacred Sect.
The backup plan he made for ascension was to lay down his butcher knife and become a Buddha.
If he couldn’t enter the Demon Realm to achieve the state of a Freely-Transformed Demon, then he might as well go directly to serve 波旬, becoming a ‘Transformed Self-Liberated Heavenly Being’.
But in this current, end-of-the-law setting, the Dao would still bestow merit.
It still made Chen Tai think a lot.
...
As he walked, Chen Tai suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A small, nervous-looking fat boy appeared ahead.
He was surrounded by a group of half-grown children who were trying to grab the satchel from him.
In Chen Tai’s eyes, the obviously Dragon Kingdom fat boy was extraordinary.
He had a small auspicious cloud above his head.
It was very small.
It couldn’t save him from misfortune.
But it could allow him to survive through death and turn misfortune into fortune.
Chen Tai chuckled to himself, “He’s a small protagonist?”
“Go, go, go, get out of here.”
Chen Tai stepped forward and chased away the native boys.
“Big brother, are you also from Dragon Kingdom?”
The little fat boy looked excited.
Chen Tai raised his eyebrows, “Little brother, are you here to visit family, or to find work?”
“I… I’m here to find my uncle.”
The little fat boy was a little embarrassed, “His name is Shen Jian Dong, he’s the head of the Jian Dong Construction Site.”
Construction site?
Chen Tai pointed towards the crane in the distance.
“Is it there?”
...
Chen Tai sent the little fat boy Shen Xing to the Jian Dong Construction Site.
Amidst Shen Jian Dong’s endless thanks, he said goodbye to the two of them.
However, Chen Tai saw that his luck was a bit off.
As he reached the door, “Boss Shen, you have black on your forehead, it’s best to avoid going on long trips for the next few days.”
Shen Jian Dong smiled when he heard this, but it was a bit forced, “Little brother Chen, you understand this?”
Chen Tai saw that the dark cloud above his brow hadn’t gone, knowing he hadn’t taken it to heart.
This was no longer his concern. They were just strangers, and he had done his duty by reminding him.
...
In front of the fruit stand.
Chen Tai followed the address given to him by the thugs, coming here all the way.
The night was now gradually getting darker.
As he walked further in, Chen Tai suddenly heard cries of pain coming from inside.
“There’s a show?”
Chen Tai walked in with interest.
...
“Stop! What are you doing?”
Two little brothers at the door looked at Chen Tai with suspicion.
Chen Tai pulled a smile and shook the small object in his hand.
“Ding Lun and Sang Bo introduced me, I’m looking for Ba Zi Ge.”
The two little brothers didn’t understand Dragon Kingdom language, but they recognized the object in Chen Tai’s hand.
They hurried back to report.
After a while.
The sound of fighting inside the fruit stand gradually subsided.
Ba Zi Ge, with a face full of scars, walked out, adjusting his shoulders.
“Dragon Kingdom person, what do you want? What happened to Ding Lun and Sang Bo? What did they go do?”
Before he could finish speaking.
Chen Tai waved his hand, shooting a beam of 幽光.
It directly entered Ba Zi Ge’s brow.
Ba Zi Ge shook his head.
In that moment, he suddenly felt like something had been added to his mind.
As he looked back at Chen Tai.
He suddenly felt a sense of closeness in his heart.
“You… who are you?”
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out who this person who seemed like a father to him was.
“Just call me Kang Ge.”
Chen Tai’s face was a bit pale.
This Bewitching Heart Technique had consumed a lot of his energy.
It even exhausted the mana he had recovered from two Blood Refining Techniques.
And the effect of this Bewitching Heart Technique could only last for three days.
But the effect was significant.
Ba Zi Ge, under the puzzled gazes of his subordinates.
Welcomed Chen Tai in as if he were welcoming his own father.
“All of you, come here and greet Kang Ge!”
