Chapter 7: Meteor

The Fifth Lust Venerable repeatedly asked after the welfare of the Green Feather Immortal, his words as fawning as a cat in heat. He said, "What are you talking about, Green Feather Immortal? Zhu Shang, that old ghost, has powers that reach the heavens; even my master is wary of him. This journey is so dangerous; how can I let you take the risk? You should protect me, and I will steal the elixir. With the reputation of my sect, even if I fail, Zhu Shang won't dare to do anything to me. Besides... it might not even require such a risk. I have some connections with Duan Gui, the sixteenth disciple of the Chicheng Sect under Zhu Shang. He is not favored by his master and doesn't even have a good sword. If I give him a Yi Wood Flying Sword, I can surely persuade him to help us."

Bai Sheng, hearing the Fifth Lust Venerable's grandiose tone, was quite surprised, as it seemed his sect was quite prestigious. When he heard the mention of "himself," he couldn't help but feel curious, thinking, "Could it be that the short-lived ghost has some connection with this Fifth Lust Venerable? But for the Fifth Lust Venerable to trick the short-lived ghost into stealing the elixir from his own master, his intentions are too dark. He can't be considered a good friend, more like using him. This short-lived ghost, to have such friends, must have lived a very miserable life."

Next, Bai Sheng heard some indecent sounds. The Fifth Lust Venerable insisted on a kiss before agreeing to the plan, and the Green Feather Immortal hesitated, half-resisting and half-yielding. The foreplay of just the kiss lasted for a good half an hour, making Bai Sheng's blood boil and his self-control waver. It was like hearing a live recording without any visual or audio. Bai Sheng cursed in his heart, feeling even more dislike for the pair.

After a long time, the Green Feather Immortal was pushed to the ground by the Fifth Lust Venerable, who not only kissed her but also groped her chest and legs, engaging in many indecent acts. Just short of consummating their desires, the Green Feather Immortal protested, scolding him several times and kicking and scratching him, barely maintaining her dignity. Despite this, the Fifth Lust Venerable seemed very satisfied, excitedly smacking his lips as if he had tasted something delicious.

Bai Sheng cursed repeatedly in his heart, unable to speak out loud, feeling increasingly depressed and frustrated.

After tidying her clothes, the Green Feather Immortal, seeing that the Fifth Lust Venerable had taken many liberties, changed her attitude and said softly, "I wonder how close you are with Duan Gui, the sixteenth disciple of the Chicheng Sect. Will he definitely help us?"

The Fifth Lust Venerable laughed and said, "Although Duan Gui is the sixteenth disciple of Zhu Shang, his sword skills are the worst. I used to look down on him, but if not for the fact that befriending him could establish some connections with the Chicheng Sect, who would bother with such a useless person? I have several handles on him, and he dares not disobey me. Even if something goes wrong with the elixir theft, I can push the blame onto him. Since he is Zhu Shang's disciple, it's not our concern how the Chicheng Sect deals with him. At worst, they will strip him of his powers, reclaim his flying sword, and kick him off Chicheng Mountain. Such a person, even if he cultivates for a thousand years, will achieve nothing. If he goes to the mortal world, he might even live a comfortable life or even gain wealth. It might be a good thing for him."

Bai Sheng couldn't help but curse loudly, clenching his teeth in hatred, cursing the Fifth Lust Venerable countless times.

"Go to hell, I'll ruin you too, stripping you of your powers and telling you every day that it's a good thing... so you can experience how I, as a friend, have suffered. The short-lived ghost's friends are not even scoundrels; they are a bunch of scum."

The Fifth Lust Venerable's explanation revealed his treacherous intentions, using Duan Gui as a pawn. The Green Feather Immortal, not caring about Duan Gui's fate, still felt uncertain and pressed for more details about the Fifth Lust Venerable's leverage over Duan Gui. The Fifth Lust Venerable, unable to resist her persistence, revealed several secrets, making Bai Sheng break out in a cold sweat, his hair standing on end, and a murderous intent rising within him.

It turned out that Duan Gui, on a rare trip outside the sect, had met the Fifth Lust Venerable.

At the time, the Fifth Lust Venerable, seeing that Duan Gui was a disciple of the Chicheng Sect, set a trap, making Bai Sheng accidentally kill two innocent women and creating a scene that made it look like he had attempted to rape them in a drunken rage. Duan Gui, a classical introvert with little experience, panicked and was deceived by the Fifth Lust Venerable's words, thus falling under his control.

Because he was held by the Fifth Lust Venerable, Duan Gui was forced to do several things that violated the sect's rules and went against his conscience, making his mistakes increasingly severe. If his master, Zhu Shang, found out about these deeds, the best outcome would be the stripping of his powers and the destruction of his physical body, forcing him to reincarnate and start over.

Bai Sheng, having just taken over Duan Gui's body, had not yet fully grasped all of Duan Gui's memories. However, with the Fifth Lust Venerable's guidance, he immediately recalled each and every past event. The image of the two naked sisters, dead with their eyes open, immediately appeared before his eyes, making Bai Sheng's blood boil.

"This Fifth Lust Venerable must die! I didn't have any extreme intentions, but he has pushed the short-lived ghost to such a point, making him do such heinous and cruel things. It's a wonder the short-lived ghost could endure it. I can't endure it; I must kill this person. Otherwise, how can I be a person? Fifth Lust Venerable, you are too unscrupulous, and you can't blame me for being ruthless. I don't want to live a life of constant fear, always at the mercy of others, and risk having to reincarnate again."

Bai Sheng was not Duan Gui. Although their bodies were the same, their personalities were completely different. Duan Gui was a gloomy and fearful person, always cautious and hesitant. Bai Sheng, on the other hand, was a sly and fearless person, unafraid of anything, bold and decisive. Duan Gui died in silence, while Bai Sheng was gathering strength in silence. Duan Gui, controlled by the Fifth Lust Venerable, became increasingly timid and lost all will to resist. Bai Sheng, however, immediately harbored murderous intentions, even willing to go to any lengths.

Bai Sheng, after crossing over, brought nothing but his sword skills, making him the most miserable "naked" traveler, akin to naked running, naked marriage, and naked chatting.

Duan Gui was not favored by his master in the Chicheng Sect and was so poor that he only had a low-quality flying sword. It was unknown when his master, Zhu Shang, would be pleased enough to grant him another flying sword. Therefore, although Bai Sheng had murderous intentions, he did not act rashly. Instead, he slowly adjusted his true qi, preparing for the decisive strike. He was ready to use "Meteor."
