Chapter 822: The Most Evil Person In The World

“Wow, it’s running so fast!”

The dog blinked its eyes as it watched the spirit boat vanish in an instant.

Lou Benwei didn’t even glance at it.

His eyes were fixed solely on the demon cores.

Only by moving all these demon cores could he earn the three immortal crystals he’d been longing for.

Meanwhile, the fleeing spirit boat was teetering precariously in the black mist.

Lou Benwei’s strike with the demon core had not only shattered the boat’s defenses but also destroyed its entire formation.

This caused a loss of power and even leakage of the black mist.

In just a short distance, the survivors went through a life-and-death struggle before finally escaping the black mist.

However, the moment they emerged, the spirit boat completely broke down.

“That was terrifying!”

“Yeah, lucky for us we didn’t have murderous intentions earlier.”

“That person is absolutely horrifying!”

The survivors, who had narrowly escaped death since escaping the mist, spoke with lingering fear, feeling a deep sense of dread.

In their hearts, there was also a hint of relief.

Because, at the time, they hadn’t allowed the piles of demon cores to cloud their judgment; they hadn’t harbored any murderous intent toward Lou Benwei and his group, which is why they managed to survive.

Anyone who had even slightly considered killing intent was already dead.

And this was precisely what made Lou Benwei seem so terrifying to them.

His ability to see through people’s thoughts sent shivers down their spines.

“So, have you figured out who this person is?”

One of the elders couldn’t help but ask.

The elder’s question immediately silenced everyone present.

Because they all knew very well.

This person in front of them wasn’t a renowned expert from any of the major dao sects.

Even if they hadn’t met the top-tier dao mirror experts from the three great dao sects, they had at least heard of them.

But neither his methods nor his appearance matched any of those known experts.

“This matter is of grave importance!”

“It’s highly possible that he might be a local expert!”

One elder couldn’t help but speculate.

“But how could such a powerful local expert exist in this prison region?” countered another elder.

“That’s hard to say. It’s true that this place became a prison after the Eight Supreme Rulers, but what about before them?” the elder replied.

This statement.

Instantly reminded everyone.

Yes.

Who’s to say that before the Eight Supreme Rulers, there weren’t super experts born on this land who had been hiding in obscurity?

“This land has always been extraordinary,” another surviving elder chimed in, “Let’s not forget the purpose of our journey here.”

With these words.

Everyone suddenly understood.

Yes.

The fact that they had traversed endless black mist and traveled thousands of miles to reach this place was a testament to the land’s uniqueness.

“But the situation is more complicated than we imagined,” the elder continued.

“So we suggest it’s best for all of us to keep a low profile.”

“Additionally, it’s best to inform our respective disciples to treat the people of the Nine Realms with respect. From what I’ve observed, many disciples of our sects, relying on their strength, have been involved in some disgraceful actions.”

“We wouldn’t want to end up following their fate.”

As the elder spoke, he glanced at the spirit boat lying on the ground, with blood still oozing from its interior.

The other elders nodded in silent agreement and quickly left the scene.

After returning.

They kept the matter strictly within the upper echelons of their sects, forcefully suppressing any discussion of the incident.

Because, through this event, they had sensed the extraordinary nature of what they’d encountered.

Shadow Island.

Su Yu’er was feeling troubled. Although she had learned a lot about the ways of the world from Yi Feng and had picked up many of his habits, she still felt a deep sense of dissatisfaction.

What she had learned was just that—learned. It wasn’t her own path.

When she was at the Cloud Calamity Sect, her uncles and elders had told her that whether in cultivation or in life, she needed to find her own path.

“So, what kind of path should I choose for myself?”

The young girl scratched her head, then saw Lou Benwei approaching with his dog, strutting with an overwhelmingly cocky demeanor.

She knew that Lou Benwei was a subordinate of Yi Feng, the high-level expert, and that he wandered around the island freely, earning respect from everyone else. With her frustrations, Su Yu’er couldn’t resist the urge to seek Lou Benwei’s advice.

“Brother Lou! Brother Lou! Handsome Brother Lou!”

Su Yu’er ran toward Lou Benwei while calling out.

The words “handsome brother” made Lou Benwei’s ego instantly soar.

Now that’s a sincere compliment.

What a good girl.

For once, Lou Benwei bent down, patting his chest with an air of bravado as he said, “Little Yu’er, what do you need Brother Lou for? Whatever it is, just say the word, and Brother Lou will try to make it happen.”

“Brother Lou, I’m feeling lost. I don’t know what path to take in life or what kind of person I should become. That’s why I came to ask for your advice,” Su Yu’er said with a troubled expression.

“Hmm!”

Lou Benwei stroked his chin and asked, “Well, what kind of expectations do you have for this?”

“Of course I want to be unique. I’m not interested in being the strongest or the most beautiful. I just want to be different,” Su Yu’er replied.

“Unique, huh?”

Lou Benwei slapped his thigh and said, “In that case, you must become the most evil person in the world. That way, everyone will fear you.”

“The most evil person in the world?”

Su Yu’er’s eyes lit up, as though she had instantly found her path.
