Chapter 31: I Won’t Be Happy Unless He Dies Miserably

People froze in fear. This aura was too frightening. Even Shang Guan Wu Hui’s presence felt small beside it.

Someone caught on first and whispered with awe: “It’s the old senior of the enforcers.”

The sky cracked, and an old figure walked out of the broken air. Luo Yi’s face turned to pure fear as he muttered: “Impossible. Wasn’t he about to die? Why is he so full of energy now?”

Shang Guan Wu Hui bent at the waist and said with full respect: “Greetings, Chief Enforcer Senior.”

No one expected to meet the Chief Enforcer of the Eastern Continent here, that Divine Dragon who was seen by few and feared by all. It was not an exaggeration to say he was the most powerful person in the Eastern Continent.

Under countless shocked stares, the old man came to Zhou Tong, placed a hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: “Young man, you are not bad at all.”

Zhou Tong replied without pride or fear as he said: “Thank you for the praise. This junior truly deserves it.”

The old man threw back his head and laughed as he said: “Good, good, good. Young people should have this kind of confidence. You went against the heavens and called the Vital Wind, letting me live a few more years. I owe you a big favor. Name your condition. If I can do it, I will not refuse.”

Jealousy burned through the crowd. A promise from the Chief Enforcer was like an imperial decree. If Zhou Tong wanted, he could use that favor to crush Jade Purity Sect.

Luo Yi turned pale. His legs trembled and he could hardly stand. A moment ago he had been so arrogant, not taking Zhou Tong seriously. Now Zhou Tong was a guest of honor to the Chief Enforcer. Ending Luo Yi would be as easy as pinching an ant.

He tried to calm himself with a thought: [Relax. Nothing will happen. The Chief Enforcer’s favor is too valuable. He won’t use it on me. Who am I anyway? He wouldn’t bother.]

But fate strikes when you least expect it. Zhou Tong’s gaze met his, and all the blood in Luo Yi’s body felt frozen. With a thud, he dropped to his knees. Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and then the Chief Enforcer also looked his way.

Zhou Tong spoke in a clear voice as he said: “Senior, this man used the name of law to do private evil. He tried to cut off the line of my Joyous Union Sect. My hatred with him cannot be shared under the same sky. I wish for him to suffer every cruel punishment in the world and die with no burial.”

The words shook the whole square. Everyone felt cold. Zhou Tong really spent the favor on this. Vengeful and true to his word, many people decided on the spot that Zhou Tong must never be provoked.

The old man raised a brow and asked: “Are you sure you will not regret it? Taking out one rotten branch does not need my favor.”

Zhou Tong lifted his chin and answered: “If I don’t destroy him, my mind will not be clear. If he doesn’t die miserably enough, I will not be happy. No price can buy my peace of mind.”

The old man’s eyes flashed with approval as he said: “Well said. We cultivators are born under heaven and earth to stay true to our hearts and refuse to bend our nature. I approve.”

His look turned sharp and icy, two mountains pressing down on Luo Yi’s shoulders. Luo Yi broke at once and begged for his life as he said: “Spare me. I know I was wrong. I really know it. Young Master Zhou, please let me go. I will be your ox and horse.”

Zhou Tong shook his head and said coldly: “You do not know you are wrong. You only know you are about to die.”

The Chief Enforcer gave the order as he said: “Drag him away.”

Two Golden Armored Warriors stepped forward, took Luo Yi, and hauled him behind a gate. A moment later, terrible screams tore through the air and made everyone shiver. Compared to enforcer torture, dying at once would have been a mercy.

The Chief Enforcer turned back and spoke kindly as he said: “Little one, even if you had not asked me, I would have sliced that trash into a thousand pieces. So this does not count as using my favor.”

He handed Zhou Tong a token with two carved words: Cold Night. It was the Chief Enforcer’s name.

He explained the gift as he said: “With this token, you are my half-disciple. If you face danger, you can crush it. I will come personally to clear your path.”

Zhou Tong accepted without fuss and said: “Thank you, senior.”

The old man’s voice grew serious as he said: “Grow strong quickly. This world is not calm. It needs younger, stronger lives to carry the weight. I can protect you for at most ten years.”

Zhou Tong’s heart trembled. He knew how hard this era was. Inside, traitors ran wild. Outside, Heavenly Devils watched like tigers. The universe seemed peaceful only because peerless experts carried the burden ahead.

The Chief Enforcer left, and the crowd also dispersed, each person thanking Zhou Tong before they went. When Shang Guan Wu Hui paid the five hundred thousand merit points for Joyous Union Sect, the matter was settled.

Zhou Tong turned to the two girls beside him and said: “Let’s go.”

Mo Liu Su blocked the way at once. Zhou Tong’s eyes went cold as he snapped: “Move. Good dogs don’t block the road.”

Mo Liu Su’s brows stirred as she said: “Stop making a scene and come back with me.”

Zhou Tong pulled out the Chief Enforcer’s token, his face dark, as he said: “Get lost, or I will kill you.”

Mo Liu Su trembled, but she still did not move as she asked in a thin voice: “Would you really use that on your own teacher?”

Zhou Tong gave a cold laugh and said: “Then open your dog eyes and watch.” He was about to crush the token.

A lively voice cut in as Tang Qi walked up with a fake smile, wagging like a little lapdog, and said: “Senior brother, Master only wants what is best for you. If you come back, we will all welcome you, right, senior sister?”

Chen Ling’er’s voice sounded stiff and hollow as she said: “Yes… welcome… we welcome you.”

Zhou Tong saw at once that Chen Ling’er had been implanted with a Love Gu.

Tang Qi glanced at Zhou Tong’s face while speaking in his mind to the soul inside the Signet Ring as he said: “Master, give me two more Love Gu. I want to plant them on the two women at his side.”

The soul’s tone turned grave as it warned: “Love Gu cannot be used carelessly. It is a double-edged sword. The one who casts it will also be bound and will develop feelings for the target, about one tenth of the target’s love. If you slip even a little, you will suffer backlash.”

Tang Qi’s whisper turned cruel as he said: “I don’t care. Give them to me, or I won’t help you rebuild your body.”

The soul gave in with a sigh as it said: “Fine. You must hold your mind steady. Do not flip the boat in a ditch. I will prepare them now.”

Zhou Tong heard their whole talk clearly. He smiled and slapped Tang Qi across the face.

Tang Qi gritted his teeth and asked through rage as he said: “Why did you hit me?” No one had ever dared to slap him before.

Zhou Tong replied lazily as he said: “Because I felt like it. If you don’t like it, get lost.”

Tang Qi forced a laugh and bowed his head as he said: “Of course. A senior brother correcting a junior is right. I should take it.” In his heart, he was mad enough to explode. If the Love Gu did not need prep time, he would never have let this go.

An old voice sounded in Tang Qi’s mind and said: “It is ready.”

Tang Qi lit up with joy and urged: “Give it to me.” He fed the Gu with his own blood, then flicked them toward the little demoness and Long Ling Yun.
