Chapter 195: Chapter 127: Wicked Deeds as Wishes, Ping’an Town (Three-in-One)

Chen Kuang’s eyes flashed with a glint of contemplation.

This passive skill of "reasoned and justified" is quite useful... no, it should be said to be extremely good, one could even say it’s an essential divine skill for verbal sparring.

If it weren’t for his slick tongue and strong mental resilience back then, Chen Kuang would’ve already died in the Celestial Prison, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Based on his experience, cultivators, when not given a death order, tend to be very cautious about preserving their lives, and are also wary of enemies whose backgrounds they don’t understand.

After all, for someone to cultivate to the present day, it hasn’t been easy for anyone, and no one wants to lose their life due to a single misstep.

For example, the two elders from the Three Tribulations Sect who hunted him down were sent to their deaths on the River of Death precisely because of their caution mixed with a bit of arrogance.

Whether it’s fighting enemies of the same level or higher level, if you can create even a slight information gap for the opponent, it might become the crucial point to decide victory or defeat.

Therefore, for Chen Kuang, this passive skill’s effect far surpasses some other passive battle skills.

In Chen Kuang’s mind, it could almost compare to "Seeing the Divine Without Harm."

However, at this moment, what Chen Kuang cared more about was the second line of text.

This was the first time the status bar refreshed a prompt other than obtaining a passive!

It was evident that the karma brought by this "Life and Death Root" was indeed as crucial as Chen Kuang had speculated!

But the strange thing was, Chen Kuang only killed Wu Man, yet obtained one evil karma and one good karma.

As Chen Kuang was puzzling over this, he suddenly felt two forces appearing within his Sea of Consciousness.

In his Divine Sense, an ethereal pavilion mirage stood, now with two wisps of mist hovering above.

One black, one white.

These two mists intertwined, mingled, and pursued each other, forming a dynamic Tai Chi-like shape among the clouds above the mirage.

As soon as Chen Kuang’s Divine Sense saw these two mists, he was momentarily startled and traced back the source of the good karma.

...

Inside the dimly lit residence.

The scent of blood floated heavily in the air, along with a slight burnt odor, heralding a recent brutal event.

"Cough, cough..."

It was unclear how much time had passed, but the body’s chest on the ground heaved briefly, and then the pale face warmed with blood, coughed, and began to breathe again.

"Quick, quick, quick, continue searching! Don’t miss a single corner! That fiend is right here!"

Outside, the faint shouting of the officials could be heard.

Ah Kan was startled and dared not make a sound, only slowly and laboriously sat up.

He touched his chest, and winced, as the dull sensation returned, still overwhelmed by searing pain.

Yet the deeper pain came not from the wound, but from the betrayal by someone he trusted.

Ah Kan’s gaze was somewhat dazed, but memories do not deceive, it was his great sister, whom he regarded as a savior, that dealt him the fatal blow.

If Wu Man hadn’t been unaware of Ah Kan’s divine power "Celestial Secret Divine Concealment," or his life-preserving ability to feign death and conceal senses when near death, he would already be dead!

The mouse spirit youth took a deep breath, accepting reality amongst despair, and quickly climbed up.

The officials would arrive soon, and with his injuries so severe, he needed to escape quickly...

Just as Ah Kan stood up, he saw a Purple-Scaled Snake crawl in through the door not far away!

"Elder sister..."

Ah Kan froze, recognizing it as Wu Man’s illusionary technique, and instantly felt a chill in his heart.

He immediately understood that it was this mirage that attracted the officials!

Meaning Wu Man left Ah Kan no chance of survival, not only severely wounding him but also lured the officials who were capturing the fiend stealing official silver.

Determined to have him captured, ensuring Lord Wang completes the task!

Ah Kan’s eyes turned utterly bleak, and he gave a bitter smile.

With such severe injuries, there was no way he could survive from the hands of the officials...

Ah Kan sighed, watching the Purple-Scaled Snake climb toward him, then swell as if it was about to explode.

This was one of the illusion’s functions, to create a great commotion attracting attention, originally to confuse the enemy...

But now it became a tool for killing a comrade.

Ah Kan abandoned hope and was about to close his eyes.

Yet he suddenly saw the Purple-Scaled Snake flash and then vanish into thin air.

He was momentarily dazed: "What happened?"

The disappearance of the illusion indicated it wasn’t Wu Man’s conscience awakening... so there was only one possibility.

Wu Man was killed!

The spell lost its source of Spiritual Qi and could only be forcibly dissipated.

"Whew..."

Ah Kan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly adjusting his condition, waiting for the officials’ voices to fade into the distance, and then dragged his heavy body back to his original form, escaping through the back door.

Before leaving, the small white mouse paused, his large black eyes resolute, he knelt towards the horizon, and then swiftly departed.

Though he didn’t know who killed Wu Man today, that person was indeed his savior.

If he could one day find this benefactor, he would undoubtedly repay this kindness...

Now, he must return to the "Mountain and Sea Alliance" to inform others of Wu Man’s betrayal.

...

Chen Kuang suddenly understood.

This white-haired mouse spirit was the unlucky fiend Wu Man deceived into stealing official silver to be her scapegoat.

Because Chen Kuang killed Wu Man, he inadvertently saved this white-haired mouse spirit’s life, generating a good karma.

Chen Kuang touched his chin, with an insight arising in his heart—
