Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 733 - Real

Li Huowang wanted to deal with these complications as soon as he could. Thankfully, despite how difficult the situation seemed, there were still ways to remedy it.

He remembered what Shai Zi had told him last time. Cultivating ‘Truth’ without cultivating ‘Lies’ would cause him to become a demon.

It was a reasonable suggestion too. As long as he cultivated ‘Lies,’ they would balance out his cultivation of ‘Truth.’

But the problem was that he didn’t believe in the words of Shai Zi. Who would believe the Sitting Oblivion Dao?

Shai Zi once said he never lied to anyone to trick them, but he also once mocked Li Huowang for believing the words of the Sitting Oblivion Dao. It was contradictory.

Li Huowang judged the situation before deciding to give it a try.

It wasn’t that bad to cultivate ‘Lies.’ Rather than being tricked by the Sitting Oblivion Dao, Li Huowang had to turn himself into a Sitting Oblivion Dao member to trick others.

The Heavenly Dao of Lies was also in Ji Zai’s hands. Li Huowang was certain that it was safer than it was in Doulao’s hands.

Since Ji Zai held both the Heavenly Dao of Lies and the Heavenly Dao of Truth, it was natural for him to be able to use both powers.

“The situation here has stabilized for now. I have to leave this place for a moment.”

He murmured alone while Xuan Pin’s illusion floated out from a wooden fish.

“We are now at an important juncture of the war. People are constantly dying on the frontline. Without you, I’m afraid most of the soldiers will have to sacrifice themselves in a battle of attrition.”

“Stop trying to threaten me like that. If you really thought their lives were that precious, you would’ve given me some secret artifacts to fight back.”

Li Huowang had always aimed to destroy the Dharma Sect and save the world, but he knew he needed to address his problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be too worried to fight.

Li Huowang wasted no time, patting Li Sui’s head before standing up and walking out of the hall.

“This is a tricky matter. What do you intend to do?” Xuan Pin asked, somehow knowing Li Huowang’s problems.

“Do you have a solution?”

“Maybe for a regular person, but it won’t work on you. You are both a Strayed One and a Twisted One.”

“I knew you wouldn’t have the solution. If you had it, you wouldn’t have kept it a secret until now.”

Li Huowang walked down the blood-stained stairs and reached the bottom of the mountain.

He saw that the stable had been crushed by the Buddha’s head, killing both of his horses. He had no choice but to take off the reins.

“Senior Li?” Li Huowang didn’t even turn around when he heard the familiar voice. “Stop! Don’t come close to me! Let’s talk after I deal with my problem!”

He could no longer differentiate the real Bai Lingmiao from the one he materialized, so he chose to ignore all of them.

He heard the sound of footsteps stopping at a distance before he sighed. “How’s Taishan Shi? Is he still refusing to speak?”

He had hoped to extract information from Taishan Shi after Bai Lingmiao caught him, but even after using all of his techniques, Taishan Shi still refused to leak any information.

Taishan Shi’s body was as tough as stone, and his mouth was even tougher. Li Huowang had no choice but to send Taishan Shi to the barracks in hopes that the Surveillance Bureau had a method to interrogate him.

Bai Lingmiao replied, “No. We tried all sorts of methods, but he refused to say anything. Do you think he actually doesn’t know anything?”

“Impossible. He must have key information about the Dharma Sect. Did the Chiefs come and visit him?”

“No. We tried to contact them, but all of them were busy dealing with the Dharma Sect, so they couldn’t make time.”

“Bullshit. I don’t even see them in the mirror. Xuan Pin, what are you up to now? Can’t you even spare some time to interrogate him?”

“I’ve sent some men, but it’ll take some time for them to get there since they can’t fly.”

“Hurry up. Taishan Shi is a key figure in the Dharma Sect, so he must have some vital information, especially since he came from the Qi Kingdom.”

Li Huowang sat on a horse he materialized and prepared to leave.

“Senior Li, I won’t follow you, but at least tell me where you are heading.”

Li Huowang pondered and answered Bai Lingmiao’s question, “Qing Qiu.”

“Qing Qiu? Why?”

“I know how to cultivate ‘Truth,’ but only the Sitting Oblivion Dao knows how to cultivate ‘Lies.’ Unfortunately, everyone in the Sitting Oblivion Dao has been killed. I can only find them in the Feng Capital of Qing Qiu’s underground.”

Xuan Pin exclaimed in surprise before Bai Lingmiao even said anything, “What a genius idea! To cultivate both ‘Truth’ and ‘Lies’ to balance each other out.”

“Hm?” Li Huowang stared at Xuan Pin’s illusion.

“Shai Zi is correct. This method would work.” Xuan Pin was certain of it.

“Really? How can you be so sure?” Li Huowang was suspicious of how supportive Xuan Pin was. Does he have ulterior motives?

“Don’t worry, this is definitely going to work. Yin counters Yang, and truth counters lies. Cultivating ‘Lies’ will balance out your cultivation of ‘Truth’”.

After hearing Xuan Pin reassuring him, Li Huowang said nothing else. He urged the horse to run towards Qing Qiu as fast as possible.

Li Sui drew two talismans and pasted them onto the horse’s back.

Bai Lingmiao thought about their conversation. She was both surprised and curious when she asked Xuan Pin, “Master Xuan Pin, are you telling the truth? Will it really work?”

Xuan Pin’s voice came from the black hole beneath the red robes. “It doesn’t matter if I think it will work or not. The most important thing is for him to believe that it will.”

Bai Lingmiao now understood what Xuan Pin was trying to do.

It was the right choice. Even if it was Shai Zi’s trap, as long as Li Huowang thought it would work, it would work.

Bai Lingmiao bowed to Xuan Pin, knowing that he was trying to help Li Huowang. “Thank you, Master Xuan Pin. Senior Li is rash, but he’s kind. He will understand your kindness.”

“I don’t need him to understand. I just don’t want to die.”

Xuan Pin then looked at Bai Lingmiao and stared at her red veil.

“I’m sure that your body made from the evil entity is uncomfortable. If you want, I can refer you to the abbot of the Righteous Monastery. He can make another body for you.”

“Really?” Bai Lingmiao was excited. She didn’t really care for her appearance since Li Huowang didn’t mind, but she was still excited at the prospect of getting her original look back.

“Of course. We are allies now, so I can do this much. It’s also just a small favor. The more important thing is for us to help each other.”
