It will cost a price

They felt that Zhou Ziming's methods were a bit strange.

In truth, Zhou Ziming's tactics didn't seem like those of the Righteous Path.

However, killing a man-eating demon was beyond reproach.

Furthermore, they finally understood Zhou Ziming's personality.

With his own people, he spoke quite politely and was even kind.

But with enemies, there was only one word: fight until it's over.

He felt like a reckless brute.

Nevertheless.

The two of them had to thank Zhou Ziming.

They could also tell that Zhou Ziming was definitely not as simple as being at the third level of Qi Condensation.

The two of them quickly bowed.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for saving our lives!"

Zhou Ziming waved his hand. "It was just a small matter!"

But Zhou Ziming looked at them and asked, "What are your plans next?"

The two looked at each other.

"What about you, Junior Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Ziming said directly, "I can give up on my things, but if I let those who dared to scheme against me get away scot-free, then as a Disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and a member of the Daoist Orthodoxy, I would be a disgrace."

"So, I'm going to settle the score with them. If I don't, my Dao Heart won't be clear!"

Li Qingxuan and Wang Shengnan were also very angry at this moment.

"We'll go with you!"

Zhou Ziming glanced at them.

"No need, your cultivation is too low, don't join in the chaos!"

The two of them instantly turned red in the face.

This Junior Brother really doesn't speak very kindly... Zhou Ziming, however, ignored them.

He stepped directly onto his Flying Sword.

Boom...

Zhou Ziming shot out instantly.

Li Qingxuan and Wang Shengnan were directly blown away by that terrifying airwave.

When the two emerged from the dust looking disheveled, they finally realized how low their cultivation was.

They couldn't even withstand the airwave from Zhou Ziming's Flying Sword.

Wang Shengnan looked up at the concentric circles left in the sky and couldn't help but ask, "Is that really Sword Kinesis?"

Li Qingxuan also looked up blankly.

"I suppose... it is!"

He was now somewhat uncertain... The Black-Robed Man had already left Xiangyang City.

He was very satisfied with his scheme this time.

Those two Disciples were bound to die, and Zhou Ziming would inevitably follow his design.

Whether he formed a contract with the Shadow Demon or killed it.

The result would be the same.

Therefore, the Black-Robed Man felt that there was nothing interesting left to watch in the upcoming drama.

But just then, the Black-Robed Man suddenly frowned.

Crack~

His bracelet shattered.

That was the Life Soul of the Shadow Demon.

The Black-Robed Man was somewhat surprised.

"He actually killed the Shadow Demon?"

The Black-Robed Man was a bit unexpected.

But then he felt it was within reason.

"After all, he is a Child of Destiny; fighting above his level is not impossible!"

However, to the Black-Robed Man, it still didn't matter.

So what if he killed the Shadow Demon?

In the end, wouldn't he still be poisoned? After being poisoned, he would still follow the path I set for him.

Everything was within his control.

"Hmph, Child of Destiny, you just need to be my tool with peace of mind!"

But just at that moment.

A Man in Black ran over, covered in blood.

"Lord?"

The Black-Robed Man was also stunned.

"What happened to you?"

The Man in Black was full of terror.

"Lord, don't say anything, run quickly!"

Just as the Man in Black finished speaking.

A Flying Sword instantly pierced through that man's skull.

But the Flying Sword still didn't stop.

It shot straight toward the Black-Robed Man's head.

Clang~

The Black-Robed Man reacted quickly.

He directly summoned the High Grade Magical Artifact, the Blue-Yellow Bell, to protect his entire body.

Zhou Ziming's Flying Sword was bounced away.

But the Black-Robed Man was not feeling well either.

Although the Magical Artifact protected him in time, the terrifying impact still caused him internal injuries.

The Black-Robed Man cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Who exactly is launching a sneak attack?"

The Black-Robed Man looked into the distance.

The first thing he saw was a pair of red eyes flickering in the darkness.

As the figure slowly approached, the Black-Robed Man gasped.

"It's you!"

Zhou Ziming narrowed his eyes.

"Oh? You recognize me? It seems you are the one scheming against me from behind!"

The Black-Robed Man laughed now.

"You actually dared to come looking for me, you really... Woah!"

The Black-Robed Man turned and ran.

While Zhou Ziming controlled over twenty Flying Swords, shooting them at the Black-Robed Man like a machine gun.

Boom boom boom...

With Zhou Ziming's empowerment, those Flying Swords reached a terrifying level of power.

Everywhere the Flying Swords hit exploded directly.

And Zhou Ziming was directly treading his sword in the sky.

He directly unleashed a cultivation version of fire coverage.

Half an hour later~

The forest before him had turned into ruins.

Zhou Ziming descended from the sky and landed in front of a torn black cloth.

He used a Flying Sword to lift the black cloth.

Under that black cloth, a paper man fragment was slowly burning; besides that, there was the High Grade Magical Artifact, the Blue-Yellow Bell.

"Heh, looks like he's one of those Cautious Types!"

Zhou Ziming put away the Blue-Yellow Bell and turned to leave.

But Zhou Ziming felt satisfied.

It didn't matter if you deprived me of my Opportunities.

I'm using cheats now, I really don't care about those Opportunities.

But everything requires a corresponding price to be paid.

What Zhou Ziming was doing now was: if you steal my Opportunity, I'll kill your people.

The greater the Opportunity, the more I'll kill.

You want to play with this Daoist master?

Then this Daoist master will play with you.

Zhou Ziming contentedly followed Li Qingxuan and Wang Shengnan back to the sect.

But some people couldn't sleep.

————

Inside an extremely hidden cave.

The Black-Robed Man suddenly spat out blood.

"What happened?"

The Black-Robed Man was somewhat bewildered at this moment.

"How was my Paper Man Clone slain?"

The Black-Robed Man quickly investigated; he wanted to see exactly what had happened.

Then, upon learning the truth, the Black-Robed Man's face changed drastically.

"How is this possible? He indeed didn't get the Opportunity, but what's with his cultivation?"

"Is this the terror of a Child of Destiny?"

And what made the Black-Robed Man want to spit blood even more was...

The two people he had originally arranged to die were now not dead.

Not only were they not dead, they had even become Inner Sect Disciples of Little Qiong Peak.

The key was that these two actually admired Zhou Ziming immensely.

"How is this possible? Why has it returned to the starting point?"

"He was clearly a being I played with for nine lifetimes, why does this lifetime seem like it's returning to the starting point?"

The Black-Robed Man felt somewhat irritable inside.

"No, no, no, calm down!"

The Black-Robed Man looked at the gold spirit fruit in his hand.

The Black-Robed Man breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's fine, it's fine. Although I paid some price, the final result is still good. At least, this Opportunity is still mine."

But at the thought of the price he had paid, the Black-Robed Man wanted to spit blood.

The cost of nurturing those people in Xiangyang City seemed to have, apparently, far exceeded the value of this gold spirit fruit.

The Black-Robed Man took a deep breath.

Then he muttered to himself again.

"Something like a gold spirit fruit is hard to come by. Its value will become more prominent the further one goes. I still made a profit!"

However, he couldn't let Zhou Ziming have it so easy.

"You killed so many people, I don't believe the Huan Ling Sect won't find out. I just need to add a bit more fuel to the fire, and you, Zhou Ziming, will be of the Demonic Path!"
