Chapter 531: Indifference and Bitter Pleas

　　”Senior doesn’t know about the beast tide? It seems that senior has been cultivating here for many years and doesn’t know about the situation outside at all, right?” The middle-aged cultivator mumbled a bit after letting out a long breath.

　　”Listening to your tone, it’s bad outside!” The man seemed to have taken some interest, and although his voice was still cold, there was still a hint of curiosity in his words.

　　The middle-aged cultivator, however, was a bit speechless. The situation outside was more than something that could be described as bad! It seemed that the other party was really an old monster who had been in seclusion for an unknown number of years. Otherwise, how could he even look like he still didn’t know about a major event that happened more than twenty years ago?

　　But in this way, he was also more at ease. With the other party’s cultivation status, to these juniors of theirs, the general situation was disdainful of harming them. On their bodies, there could be something that the other party could see.

　　Thinking of this, the middle-aged cultivator returned with a few more respectful looks, ”Senior! The beast tide was something that happened more than twenty years ago. At that time, the latecomer was still a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had heard the elders in the sect say a thing or two about it. It was said that tens of thousands of demonic beasts in the abyssal waters surged out wildly without the slightest sign on a certain day, and then rushed to the Qi Yuan Island in one breath, surrounding the Black Stone City and attacking it wildly without stopping. Although the island was protected by several large formations and guarded by thousands of cultivators and a cadre of YuanYing stage seniors. But after a few days it was still breached by the demonic beasts. Except for a very small portion of the cultivators who managed to take advantage of the chaos to escape, the rest of the human cultivators all died on the spot in battle.”

　　As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, a pang of gloom crossed his face.

　　”There was such a thing! What happened afterward, did the demonic beasts retreat back into the abyss?” The man’s voice showed a hint of shock, but then it returned to a bashful tone.

　　”If it retreated back to the abyss, things would have been fine. After the Abyssal Demonic Beasts turned Black Stone City into a ruin, they actually began to split into several groups, and under the leadership of some high-ranking Demonic Beasts, they began to sweep other human villages and towns. Although most of the people in these villages and towns had gotten the news beforehand, and had given up their homes early and hid around, there were still quite a few cultivators and mortals who had been poisoned. As a result, in less than half a year, all the seas around Qi Yuan Island no longer had a single village or town where human beings gathered, they were all destroyed cleanly. This is not all, although the group of demonic beasts mostly returned to the abyss, but there are still some high level demonic beasts with high spiritual intelligence, but began to search around for humans in hiding, and one by one to kill and devour. It is said that in a short time, the mortals in the outer sea were killed and injured, and the human cultivators even lost more than half of them. The survivors could only leave the sea near Qiyuan Island, and find some other remote islands to settle down and hide. Now Qi Yuan Island has become a gathering place for high level demonic beasts, as long as there is news of our human cultivators, they will once again mobilize and purge our cultivators.” The middle-aged cultivator’s complexion began to become sad.

　　And at this time, the mysterious man’s voice did not come for a while either, seemingly also shocked by this news, with an appearance of trying to digest this news.

　　”Heh heh! That’s funny. In that case, in the Outer Star Sea, we cultivators are like the demonic beasts in the beginning, and we have become the characters that everyone shouts at us to kill.” The man let out a cold laugh and finally spoke again. It was only the sneer in his words that caused these cultivators to be surprised for a while.

　　However, the man seemed unwilling to say anything more and proceeded to ask several more questions, “There are several YuanYing stage old monsters sitting on Qi Yuan Island, it’s impossible for them to all hang up in the beast tide. Why don’t they come out now to take charge of the situation? And since Qi Yuan Island has undergone such a huge change, did the Inner Star Sea not react and send reinforcements? Or has this place been completely abandoned by those guys from the Inner Star Sea?”

　　These questions were sharper than one another, and one more than one hit the nail on the head. The middle-aged cultivator also knew some of them, but was unable to answer some of them.

　　So after a little thought, he carefully replied, “During the beast tide back then, I heard that two YuanYing stage seniors fell, but most of the old-timers still escaped. Although there has been no news of these seniors since then. But according to some rumors, these seniors were planning some big move so that they could kill their way back to Qi Yuan Island in one fell swoop. It’s just that the specifics are unknown to the late generation. As for the Inner Star Sea, it has been completely cut off since the day of the beast tide, so who knows if that side knows the details here. As for reinforcements. Naturally, it’s even more unseen. Maybe it’s really like what senior said. This place has been abandoned by the Inner Star Sea side.” As he said the last sentence, a point of gloom appeared on the middle-aged cultivator’s face. It seemed that the cultivators who had survived the beast tide had unconsciously had a sense of resentment towards the Inner Star Sea side for not caring.

　　And the man’s voice was silent again for a while, only to ask leisurely after a moment, “Since it’s so dangerous, you juniors don’t stay well in your residences and run out so boldly, wanting to commit suicide?”

　　Hearing the man’s words, the middle-aged cultivator revealed a worried look, but before he could open his mouth to explain, the yellow-shirted young girl, who had been honestly standing behind him, in a burst of uncertainty, suddenly rushed out with an arrow step.

　　”Seniors, my father because of improper cultivation techniques, resulting in a true essence reversal meridian disruption, now paralyzed. Senior’s divine abilities are vast, there must be a way to save my father! If senior can save my father, junior would rather be a cow or a horse for senior to repay senior’s great kindness!” The young girl’s pretty face was filled with the color of bitter pleading, a pair of big black and white eyes, already containing watery teardrops, watering look.

　　When the other men and women heard this, they were all shocked and couldn’t help but look at each other. Only that middle-aged cultivator heard this, instead, his heart was moved, but on his mouth, he could not help but reprimand: “Xing’er, what nonsense are you talking about? Senior brother has long been bedridden for many years, and is simply not humanly curable. This time, I came out to look for some spiritual medicine to go back, and it only slightly reduces the pain on my elder brother’s body. Elder is a man of profound magical power, but he can’t be cured.” Although the middle-aged cultivator spoke without mercy, his face faintly carried a trace of a different look.

　　”True essence reversed, meridians misplaced. It seems to be another fellow who presumptuously wants to pull the plug. Definitely not at the right level of cultivation but wants to forcibly dive into a higher level of techniques to have this symptom.” The man said lazily after letting out a cold laugh.

　　This senior man had accurately judged the original cause of the symptoms without having witnessed it. This made the middle-aged cultivator even more so as a hint of joy flashed across his face!

　　”Senior really has a keen eye, my senior brother did indeed cause this calamity because of his eagerness to cultivate. I wonder if senior knows if there are any other secret methods to save him?” The middle-aged cultivator first complimented the other party before asking with great concern. It seemed as if he and this senior seemed to have a good relationship.

　　”This little symptom is naturally nothing, but why should I tell you guys? Could it be that you guys think that I will come to the rescue for no reason?” The man seemed to have read the other party’s mind and sneered nonchalantly.

　　Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator was first stunned, then his face turned red and white for a while, and after his lips moved a few times, he didn’t say anything.

　　The yellow-shirted maiden, however, heard a trace of hope from this. Her cheeks rose a trace of redness, after clenching her teeth, “plop” sound, actually kneeled down in front of the light screen.

　　Then this delicate young girl, full of determination said: “late generation Gongsun apricot in this swear, as long as seniors can cure my father, little girl is willing to life to seniors as a slave as a servant girl, never have any second thoughts. If senior is still uneasy, senior can allow senior to cast the forbidden art first, and then go save my father.” As soon as she finished saying these words, the young girl bent down and rushed in the direction of the light screen, kowtowed three times, and then knelt straight down and did not move, with a resolute look on her face.

　　The yellow-shirted young girl, not to mention her young age, actually had a fierce nature.

　　”Silly girl, what are you doing stupid things? What kind of person is senior, how would he look at an ugly girl like you?” Seeing this, the middle-aged cultivator couldn’t help but say with a mixture of shock and anger.

　　The other men and women also came to their senses and spoke out to dissuade them.

　　But the yellow-shirted young girl just ignored the kneeling in place, with an appearance that she would never get up until the other party agreed.

　　”Senior uncle you guys don’t say anything. I was born as an unknown person, my mother died in childbirth for me. My father forced me to cultivate the sixth layer of the Green Spirit Xuan Gong because he wanted to cleanse my marrow, and only then did I end up bedridden all day long. Now is the time for me to fulfill my filial piety, as long as I can cure my father, I am willing to serve this senior for life without any complaints.” The young girl shook her head with a pale face and said in a calm voice.

　　”Maiden! Are you blackmailing me? If I don’t make a move, will you kneel forever?” The man laughed coldly, his voice chilling in vain.

　　”I don’t dare, the late generation in no way has any intention of blackmailing me. Senior just made a move to save our lives, and Gongsun Xing was already grateful! But since my father has been bedridden, he has looked for numerous seniors of the same path to come to his rescue, but none of them have the art of springing back to life. Now apricot listen to the tone of seniors, seems to save this disease to seniors is just a handful of work, so the late generation is so hard to ask. Elder has no other intention but to hope that elder can fulfill elder’s filial piety!” The young girl who said these words was already half-crying, choking back her sobs as she crouched down and kowtowed once more.

　　There was a moment of silence in the direction of the light curtain!
