TVLMS Chapter 107.1

Ever since Gu Xiyu was taken back to the demon palace, Bu Tianhan has not taken the lives of the so-called righteous/orthodox cultivators at will. Of course, if he encountered someone who thought he would never strike again and provoked him, he wouldn’t be polite…… Even if he didn’t take the life of the other person, he would punish him until he breathed his last.

The lack of news on Tai Ling had left people unsure of how he was doing in the demon palace, so all sorts of rumors were growing.

Some said that even though Bu Tianhan said that he was only holding Tai Ling as a hostage, he was deceiving people; he had already killed Tai Ling and used him to make pills to improve himself.

But this claim was quickly rejected by several practitioners who had been around the border of the Demon Realm and had seen Tai Ling walking around with Bu Tianhan.

It was then said that although Tai Ling was still alive, he was depressed, and his spiritual power was gradually sapped by Bu Tianhan’s evil techniques. This was all part of Bu Tianhan’s plot to destroy Tai Ling’s dao by using all sorts of temptations from the demonic realm so that he would not be able to pose a threat to himself in the end. This made Emotionless Dao practitioners get pressured by their respective clans to intensify their training so that if something happened to Tai Ling, Bu Tianhan could still be restrained a bit.

But then, Tai Ling killed a vicious, man-eating beast with ancient demon blood to obtain some rare spiritual material, and the news was that everything in its lair had been swept clean. This immediately silenced those who said his power had been weakened.

In short, no matter how much they spread the word in a bad direction, they would soon be smacked in the face.

“So, why did Bu Tianhan take Tai Ling? If you say he coveted a beauty, but Tai Ling is a man too…”

“Why can’t a man be with a man? I was lucky enough to go to the secret realm of the End of the Sea with my sect and see Tai Ling’s face from afar. If I had a beauty with a face and figure like Tai Ling’s, I would be able to do it even if he is a man!”

At these words, the other people seemed to remember something and exclaimed, “Could this be the reason why that great demon changed his nature recently and said that he wanted to clear the sins that had been arbitrarily put on him and ended up causing all those incidents?”

Although Bu Tianhan had stopped actively seeking trouble with the cultivators, he was still very high-profile.

It all started one ordinary afternoon when several cultivators in the city gathered in a teahouse to talk about something related to Bu Tianhan. The topic of conversation was the evil deeds that Bu Tianhan had done and also his cruel and heinous methods.

In fact, it was all an old story. People had been talking about Bu Tianhan’s actions for a long time, and neither the demon cultivators nor Bu Tianhan had ever cared. No matter what the people around him said, he continued to do things his own way.

But that day, the mysterious Bu Tianhan appeared from nowhere, kicked away their table, and glared at them with cold eyes, just like the ruthless man who didn’t say much and would kill them straight away. The cultivators were frightened out of their wits, and the people around them didn’t dare come forward to confront him.

Just when they thought a bloody scene was about to break out, Bu Tianhan frowned unhappily and looked at the cultivators who were so scared that they forgot to get up: “There are things I didn’t care about before, so I didn’t want to defend myself, but now it’s different, I can’t let someone have a bad impression of me and think that I choose to kill anyone and just stuff everything into my mouth.”

Bu Tianhan didn’t kill them but even went through the list of names they had just mentioned and picked out a few names from it, saying, “Those few died from methods similar to mine, but they did not come from me.”

He smiled meaningfully and said, “I didn’t kill them, and neither did any demon cultivator. You should think about who among the orthodox sects has secretly learned such evil techniques.”

“Don’t be anxious, since I want to clear my name, I will naturally give you the evidence.”

From that day on, Bu Tianhan began to release all kinds of ‘evidence’, even going so far as to throw out the corpses of cultivators who had recently died from similar techniques but had not been found, and many orthodox cultivators started looking at the matter seriously. The dead included both high-ranking cultivators of repute and lesser-known cultivators without much of a reputation, but many of them were from reputable clans.

What was even more frightening was that if these people were not killed by Bu Tianhan, as he claimed, it meant that there was a ‘traitor’ among them. This traitor was able to move smoothly among the clans, befriending many people and gaining their trust before striking. The man was so sure that Bu Tianhan would never justify his actions that he justifiably put the blame on him, never imagining that this great demon, who never cared about his reputation, would one day speak out.

Moreover, he remembered each of the victims clearly, and his counter-attack was well thought out; he knew where they were buried, and he did not care to compare those who had died at his hands. He made so much noise that the sect masters of the big sects flushed with embarrassment, and they still had to receive Bu Tianhan’s mocking eyes, as if he was laughing at how they killed their own people, and wanted him to help point out the culprit.

Bu Tianhan knew who the culprit was, but he just didn’t want to say it. He intentionally caused panic in the cultivation world, and all sects began to fear each other. The immortal sects that practiced secret and deviant techniques were the first to be affected, and they became the targets of suspicion and ostracism. Their original allies began to cut off contact with them, and their former enemies were eager to take advantage of the situation.

They were filled with anger, but the anger was towards the person who was causing trouble among the various sects.

Bu Mingfeng, who was recuperating at Tiansu Immortal Sect, soon found out about everything from Lin Wuhen. When he heard that Bu Tianhan had a lot of evidence in his hand, his injury was immediately aggravated by his internal depression, and he lay in bed every day.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect or because Bu Tianhan had once said to the outside world: ‘If you don’t believe me, I’ll find a way to get those spirits from the ghost world and let them come up to confront me’ or something like that, he always had nightmares of being killed by ghosts, and when he was awake, he couldn’t meditate and recover. He always felt like someone was trying to kill him, or that something was approaching, but when he opened his eyes, there was no one there.

This caused him to not only fail to recuperate from the injuries he sustained from Bu Tianhan but also to suffer several attacks of anger, which aggravated his injuries. The whole person was depressed, and he even began to experience hallucinations.

Lin Wuchen had to listen to him talk about ghosts every time he went to see him, and once, he almost mentioned his deceased wife in front of the other disciples, which made him pinch the back of his neck and stare at Bu Mingfeng with a look even more frightening than the ghosts he saw in his visions.

“Bu Tianhan seriously injured his Yuanshen, so he is mentally disturbed. He should stay inside for the time being to recuperate.” This was indirectly putting him under house arrest.

As one of his disciples, Lin Qianyue was naturally taken back to Lin Wuhen’s side after her master became like that.

However, Lin Wuhen has not been having a good time either, mainly because of the pressure from Bu Tianhan. He had been lurking in the Tiansu Immortal Sect for many years without being discovered, so he must have already figured out his cooperation with Bu Mingfeng. That demon was also very cunning, it was clear that he and Bu Mingfeng had attacked people from their own sect as well, but in the list of names and the uncovered corpses, Bu Tianhan had deliberately omitted people from the Tiansu Immortal Sect.

Naturally, people from other sects became suspicious and started to question him, saying that Bu Tianhan had invaded their sect and that the real killer might be in their place. If the evil practitioner was really in the Tiansu clan, he might have colluded with the other side and deliberately murdered his wife.

After all, Lin Wuhen’s wife was the daughter of the former sect master of the Tiansu Immortal Sect before she married him, and she was a ‘goddess’ admired by many of her fellow disciples. After getting together with Lin Wuhen, the latter was ridiculed by many behind his back that he was not as qualified as his wife and that he had to rely on her for protection and could not give her security. Although he always laughed and said he didn’t care, who knew what he thought behind the scenes?

This is how people are. Once there is an opening to think about it, many details that they don’t usually see or care about will be dug up and discussed.
