Harness Cultivator

With the Plasmatic Shot rebounding toward Deng Lun, he felt the full brunt of his own technique.

"AHHHH!"

Deng Lun screamed in agony when half of his arm was nearly ripped apart from the ferocious energy of the blast.

"Damn, that's a pretty weak skill." Lee Tao twitched his mouth.

"You talked so big previously yet your skill could only deal this much damage?" He added with a somewhat disappointed gaze.

Hearing Lee Tao's arrogant tone, Deng Lun was enraged. 

"You stinky brat, how fucking dare you!" Deng Lun stood up as he retrieved a pill to consume.

"Aiyah, another pill-consuming tactic? How outdated are you people in fighting?" Lee Tao sighed softly.

Flicking his sleeve, Lee Tao glanced at Xiao Chu as he signaled her to make the move.

Xiao Chu nodded her head.

With a snap, Deng Lun suddenly felt his arms and legs going powerless.

Plopping to the ground, Deng Lun held a disbelief expression.

'What the hell happened to my body function?' Deng Lun thought.

He was now kneeling on the ground, unable to move a single inch.

"Well well well, how the tables had turned, right?" Lee Tao chuckled softly as he kicked him in the face, sending him flying backward.

Deng Lun crashed onto the walls and with that impact, the entire Chiyu Tavern collapsed down.

"Ahhh" Deng Lijuan screamed in panic from behind as she closed her eyes in fear.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao activated his movement technique and grabbed Deng Lijuan out of the Chiyun Tavern.

"Stop screaming already, Deng Lijuan." Lee Tao shouted as he placed her down on the ground.

Deng Lijuan slowly opened her eyes, but she regretted her action very soon.

The first thing she saw was the sea of corpses piling everyone. 

"Bargh," Deng Lijuan coughed multiple times as she almost vomited.

It was only now that she understood why Lee Tao had prevented her from escaping through the backdoor or going outside. 

While Deng Lijuan struggled to not vomit, Lee Tao went toward Deng Lun. 

"Seems like you survived the crash… as expected of someone from a sect. A sect would always offer much better resources than an academy." Lee Tao praised.

Deng Lun twitched his brow.

"Just kill me already and save your taunt," Deng Lun roared.

"Did you really take me for a fool? Your body has a talisman mark that will instantly activate as soon as your life's in danger." Lee Tao sneered coldly as he stomped on Deng Lun's rib.

Breaking his ribcage in the process, Deng Lun groaned in pain.

However, it still wasn't life-threatening to him since he's a cultivator and Lee Tao wasn't exerting any profound qi.

"How does it feel eh? Being near-death yet not really dying?"

"Hmph, don't think I'll be frightened by you. I have been waiting here for 20 years and I can wait longer." 

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Indeed, you must have been hiding in the Pan Village while spying on my mother." Lee Tao said.

Sometime later, Lee Tao took out his Relic Stone and activated it.

"I hope the little chimera will have some fun enjoying a brand new toy." Lee Tao flashed a gentle smile.

Before Deng Lun could comprehend his words, his soul and body got sucked into the Relic Stone.

At the same time, Lee Tao had made sure his new pet, Sha Qi, the parasite worm, had latched onto Deng Lun.

With all these preparations made, even if Deng Lun was on a near-death experience. There is no longer a way for the talisman to activate, and even if it does, there is no way of escaping the ancient ruin. 

Lee Tao clasped his hand as he could finally explore with a peace of mind.

"Whelp, mother is really a pain sometimes… requesting me to do something like this," Lee Tao muttered.

After cleaning up the scene a little bit, Lee Tao decided to use this time to harness the profound qi all around the Pan Village.

Although their cultivation base is insignificant to him, it doesn't hurt to harness just a bit more to improve.

Sometime later, Lee Tao finally finished harnessing all the profound qi around the area as he prepared to leave the Pan Village.

However, before he could take another step forward, Deng Lijuan had tugged on his sleeve.

"C-Can I follow you?" Deng Lijuan asked in a timid voice.

"I-I don't have anything else left… the Chiyu Tavern is destroyed… The Pan Village is no more, and my father is not actually my father. I'm very lost right now." 

Tears soon began dripping down from her eyes as she had never expected this kind of thing to happen.

Within a few hours, she had lost everything and had nowhere else to go.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao held a nonchalant expression as he shrugged his shoulders.

"About 30km from here, there is the Tianyun Kingdom. You can probably go there to start anew." Lee Tao said as he turned around and started leaving.

As far as he was concerned, his job is done already, and babysitting a woman is not his job.

Alas, whenever Lee Tao walked forward, Deng Lijuan would be taking a step forward while keeping their distance.

At first, Lee Tao ignored her as he continued on with his journey.

However, as time passed by, it was obvious that Deng Lijuan wasn't going to give up on following him.

Frustrated at this situation, Lee Tao halted his movement and turned around to stare at her.

"Haven't you followed me enough?" Lee Tao asked.

Deng Lijuan shook her head.

"What am I supposed to do then? I'm at a loss on what to do myself other than following you blindly." She said dejectedly. 

"Didn't I tell you to go to the Tianyun Kingdom? You can begin afresh there and forget about the events in Pan Village."

"If I could forget, then I wouldn't be following you. I'm just a weak and mortal woman. Without fathe- I mean Deng Lun, I would have been violated by others a long time ago." 

'Should I just kill her and end her misery?' Lee Tao wondered silently.
