542: C542 Zuo Mu's Inner Demon

C542 Zuo Mu's Inner Demon

The disciple who came to report was scared stiff and didn't dare to speak again.

"How is Nan Lin?" A tall and sturdy Male Cultivator asked in a deep voice. This was a middle-aged Male Cultivator with a white jade crown. He looked very powerful and extraordinary.

If Lin Cheng was here, he would definitely recognize this middle-aged Male Cultivator at first glance. This middle-aged Male Cultivator was none other than his friend, the main culprit behind his rebirth, Zuo Mu.

However, the current Zuo Mu was no longer the young man he used to be. It was a middle-aged cultivators. In fact, Zuo Mu was more than a hundred years old. It was only because his Cultivation Level was extremely high, and his lifespan had been greatly increased. That was why he looked like a middle-aged man.

"Replying to Elder Zuo, the Southern Deacon's Elemental Spirit has already entered the Spirit Vessel Cave. According to what the disciples of the Southern Deacon said, the Southern Deacon was severely injured this time. Its body has been destroyed, and only the Elemental Spirit has managed to escape. Because the Southern Deacon knew that Elder Zuo had once told them to keep an eye on that Lin Cheng, before entering the Spirit Accumulating Cave... I've specially sent a disciple to report this matter." The disciple hurriedly said.

" Are you sure it's Lin Cheng? "

Zuo Mu asked in a deep voice. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a gloomy light.

The disciple quickly replied, "According to the disciple of the Southern Deacon, that person is Lin Cheng."

"Lin Cheng..."

These two words burst out from the gap between Zuo Mu's teeth. A cold light flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly soared into the sky and disappeared from the disciple's sight.

A moment later, Zuo Mu landed on a beautiful mountain. In front of him was the entrance to a cave.

"Junior Brother Nan, I am Zuo Mu."

Zuo Mu's spiritual sense entered the cave. "I heard that Junior Brother encountered a strong enemy. What is going on?"

"Senior disciple, the one who killed the people of the Lin Prefecture is the disciple of Unification Sect, Lin Cheng!"

A wave of spiritual sense came out from the cave, "I know senior brother cares about this Lin Cheng a lot, that's why I sent my disciple to report to him."

Zuo Mu frowned, "Can you be sure it's Lin Cheng?"

"This kid has a Blue Fire, and at the same time, he has an extremely strange Broken Knife. Slash!" Nan Lin's spiritual sense fluctuated slightly. "I fell into his trap and was injured by that Broken Knife."

" It seems like that should be Lin Cheng. "

Zuo Mu's expression was extremely gloomy, "That Broken Knife was once used in Tianluo Secret Realm. It is said that it is a pretty good magic treasure!"

"This kid is really detestable and extremely strange." Nan Lin said.

"How strange?" Zuo Mu immediately asked.

"Although he isn't weak, his combat strength isn't as strong as mine, but he is able to break my divine ability!"

"Break your divine ability?"

Zuo Mu's gloomy face could not help but reveal a slightly shocked expression, "Junior brother, is it because his divine ability is able to suppress you? Or..."

"No! It wasn't suppression, because he didn't use any divine abilities at all. But when I used my divine abilities, he was able to attack me before I did. If it wasn't for him breaking my divine abilities, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do that!" Nan Lin said with certainty.

Zuo Mu frowned.

After a while, he said, "Junior brother, focus on healing your wounds. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Senior brother, I'm afraid it will take me a few years to rebuild my body. If senior brother catches that Lin Cheng during this period of time, I hope senior brother won't kill him. Once I have successfully reconstructed my body, I will personally kill this Little Brute!" Nan Lin said hatefully.

"Alright! I promise you!"

After that, Zuo Mu left.

After returning to the mansion, Zuo Mu stood at the peak of the mountain with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. That was the direction of Fresh Breeze City.

"Lin Cheng!"

After a long time, Zuo Mu slowly spoke, "Who exactly are you? You are back? Are you here for revenge?"

If possible, Zuo Mu would never mention that name again.

In fact, after a hundred years, he had never heard of that name again. Even among his old friends, he had never mentioned it again.

However, in the past one or two years, the name Lin Cheng had once again appeared in Zuo Mu's heart.

This was not because Zuo Mu missed his benefactor, nor was it because he felt guilty for what he had done in the past. In fact, when Zuo Mu reached his current cultivation realm, he would have his current status. He firmly believed that everything he had done in the past was right.

Even if he had to do it again, he would still make the same choice when he returned to the day a hundred years ago.

Only by killing Lin Cheng and seizing the Marrow-washing Pill would he be able to be completely reborn, and only then would he be able to join the Myriad Sword Sect and obtain this opportunity.

It could be said that Lin Cheng's death was the opportunity and the beginning of his cultivation path. Zuo Mu would never hesitate or hesitate, not to mention that it was Lin Cheng. If it was anyone else, he would not hesitate at all.

Zuo Mu remembered Lin Cheng's name because he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation.

No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, no matter how unwilling he was to mention it, the opportunity of his cultivation back then had only started after he betrayed Lin Cheng. This was without a doubt.

However, it was precisely because of this that when Zuo Mu reached his current realm, gradually, he realized that his betrayal from a hundred years ago... He didn't know when, but he had already planted a root in his heart, especially when he was refining the Elemental Spirit. In the depths of his memory, even in the source of his Elemental Spirit... There was actually a shadow of Lin Cheng!

Zuo Mu immediately realized that he had a heart demon!

He didn't know if it was because he hadn't forgotten the betrayal or because this was the only flaw in his mind. That was why he had a mental devil. Or perhaps, this mental devil had always been there. It was just that his realm and Cultivation Level were too low in the past, so the inner demon did not appear.

However, no matter what the reason was, the heart demon that he produced was real. Furthermore, he was actually unable to get rid of it!

This had no choice but to draw Zuo Mu's attention, because at his realm... He wasn't far away from the Peak of Divine Ability Stage. Perhaps one day in the future... He might even touch upon a higher level, or perhaps even... He might even break through in one go and become a half-step Supreme Elder.

However, the existence of the Mental Demon had reduced his chances to the lowest. At the same time, the danger was also greatly increased. Because of the existence of the Mental Demon, he was unable to continue breaking through. This was not an exaggeration.

The scariness of the inner demon was that he, an expert who had long entered the Divine Ability Stage. If he were to fall into the inner demon during the breakthrough... At that time, the best outcome for him would be a cripple. The greater possibility was that the Elemental Spirit might collapse. Turning into an idiot!

If he were to encounter the wrath of the heavens again, at that time, a few factors would act up at the same time, and he would probably die in body and spirit!

This was something that Zuo Mu could not accept no matter what!

However, he couldn't find a solution to this problem. If the inner demon was so easy to solve, he wouldn't be able to call it a devil!

Even though Zuo Mu was so powerful, he was helpless against his inner devil.

More importantly, the problem he was facing... Yet, he couldn't tell anyone about it, let alone ask for help. Of course, there were senior experts from the previous generation or even the previous generations in the Myriad Sword Sect, so they were naturally more experienced in dealing with the inner demons. However, Zuo Mu couldn't ask them for help.

Because, no matter how he felt at ease about snatching Lin Cheng's fortune, however, he understood that it was a form of betrayal. If he followed the words of those mortals, it could even be said that they were ungrateful. However, these four words should never appear on him, an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect.

If he carried this reputation on his back, even if his inner demon was resolved, his prestige would definitely be greatly reduced.

Moreover, at that time, he wouldn't just have to deal with his inner demon.

A hundred years of cultivation had given Zuo Mu a deep understanding of cultivation. He knew that cultivation wasn't just about himself. The higher one's realm, the more factors involved. For example, opportunities in the outside world, or even karma, could have a great impact on one's body.

Once the betrayal of someone who had once saved his life was made known to the public, it would be an ungrateful act. At that time, Zuo Mu might be affected by another cause and effect, or his opportunity would be unstable. At that time, it would be even more troublesome.

Therefore, Zuo Mu could only rely on himself to resolve the matter of the inner demons!

In fact, Zuo Mu understood in his heart that he had already been tainted by karma. This karma was Lin Cheng!1

If he hadn't killed Lin Cheng back then and didn't betray him, he wouldn't have had this inner demon today.

"If I didn't kill you, I wouldn't have today's me!"

Zuo Mu's expression was extremely cold, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Even though he had developed a mental devil, Zuo Mu still didn't regret it at all. However, now that he thought of Lin Cheng, he just wanted to find a way to solve his inner demon. At this moment, he actually heard the news about Lin Cheng.

From that moment on, his eyes fell upon this ant who was said to be a traitor of Unification Sect. Even if this man wasn't his benefactor, Lin Cheng, he was still called Lin Cheng. This might be the opportunity to solve his inner demon.

Perhaps, by killing this person, his inner demon would be resolved.

And now, Lin Cheng had actually come to the territory of Myriad Sword Sect, and had even killed his old friend, Lin Tao. The latter was also one of the people who had besieged Lin Cheng in the past!

This made Zuo Mu have no choice but to think about it!

"Are you really Lin Cheng? Or are you using Lin Cheng's name?" A cold light flashed in Zuo Mu's eyes as he whispered to himself.

"No matter who you are, since you used Lin Cheng's name... It's your fate!" Zuo Mu sneered, "A hundred years ago, Lin Cheng gave me the opportunity to step onto the Great Dao of Cultivation. I never thought that a hundred years later, another Lin Cheng would appear. It seems like this is also my opportunity! "

He released his spiritual sense, "Pass on my order. Capture Lin Cheng with all your might, and at the same time, send a message to Unification Sect. If they catch Lin Cheng and hand him over to our sect, I, Zuo Mu, will reward them handsomely!"

What Lin Cheng didn't know was that in Zuo Mu's eyes, he, an ant, had become Zuo Mu's fortune, just like a hundred years ago.

Lin Cheng brought Zhou Chuan to a city and stopped. After that, he left Zhou Chuan to wait in the city while he returned to the Longevity Sect with the harvest he got from the middle-aged Male Cultivator, Nan Lin.
