Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

179. Protecting Li

Translator: Helene

“The leader didn’t find his lover in the Ghost, so he started to unite with the Ghost rebels and constantly slung mud at the Ghost. In the end, the Ghost was eliminated. I escaped under the protection of the elders, but I fell into a deep sleep of more than a thousand years as I was seriously injured. When I woke up, the Ghost was annihilated, and only some ancient books indicated that the Ghost used to exist.”

“For the revival of the Ghost, I framed Luo Yuan up and tempted him with the chance of resurrecting his lover. That is how the things at Qingyu Pavilion happened. I met you later. In the beginning, I intended to get close to Zhuo Hua and find a chance to kill the best cultivator in the Cultivation World, which would collapse itself. Then there was an accident, in which Zhuo Hua disappeared. Since the biggest obstacle disappeared, I planned to slowly replace the Cultivation World. But why?”

Li looked at Zhuo Hua. “Why did you come back? I was going to succeed.”

“It doesn’t matter. You guys are back, but I still have a chance to kill you. You can live till now because I haven’t found a chance yet.” Li laughed with self-mockery.

“Thankfully, Master Zhuo Hua was not killed by you. Today we will do the same as what we did one hundred thousand years ago to the Ghost.” The cultivator rushed towards Li.

The other cultivators behind him also attacked the Ghost beside them. Kaka quickly picked up Li and avoided the attack.

“Master Zhuo Hua, this should be your contracted beast. What, do you want to stop us?” The cultivator looked at Kaka and said to Zhuo Hua.

Zhuo Hua walked to the front of Kaka and blocked the cultivator, saying, “Since Li calls me Father, he is my son. If you want to hurt my son, defeat me first.”

All the disciples of Muyang Temple saw that and stood behind Zhuo Hua.

“We have watched Li grow up. Don’t hurt him.”

“No matter what, Li will always be a part of our Muyang Temple.”

…

Listening to the people defend him, Li had a complicated feeling. He buried his face in the arms of Kaka, not wishing to let anyone see his expression.

“You… Master Zhuo Hua, he is the Ghost Emperor. He approached you with evil intention. He even attempted to kill you. Are you protecting him? The cultivator looked at Zhuo Hua in disbelief.

“I know how Li is. During the thousand years, he had many opportunities to kill me, but he didn’t. He locked you up in the underground palace for the past five hundred years because he didn’t want to conflict with Cultivation World and hurt innocent people.” He knew well about Li, who couldn’t feign something even he was the Ghost Emperor.

“Master Zhuo Hua, are you kidding? Does the Ghost Emperor care about us? All of this is just his plan. Since you insist on protecting him, don’t blame us for being merciless.” After the cultivator spoke, the other cultivators poised to attack Zhuo Hua.

“Are you sure?” Nan Chen, who had remained silent, spoke up. The demonic cultivators gradually gathered behind the Muyang Temple disciples. “Are you sure you can defeat the Demon and the Ghost together?”

His words froze the cultivators.
