Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 118: Du Guyun’s Determination

“He wants to help you kill Qin Ershi?” Cang Lao’s heart shook, filled with immense shock.

Qin Ershi, now one of the three great human race prodigies. Even though not as talented as Jiang Chen, his aptitude was still one of the rare few in the entire Nine Heavens Realm.

If Du Guyun could devour him, he would surely soar high, leap over the dragon’s gate, and completely step into the ranks of unparalleled prodigies.

However, Cang Lao always felt something was amiss. “Du Guxiong helping you kill Qin Ershi is indeed good for you!”

“But killing Qin Ershi will provoke the wrath of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the entire dynasty will pursue you!”

“Besides, your identity could easily be exposed! I know you want to say you can hide your aura so no one will find you-”

Seeing Du Guyun about to speak, Cang Lao directly interrupted, saying solemnly: “Even if you hide your aura completely, it’s not guaranteed that no one will know!”

“The reach of immortal powers is beyond your imagination, especially the Void Hall, the most unique power in the Nine Heavens Realm, knowledgeable of everything, privy to all kinds of information!”

“Once you kill Qin Ershi, the Great Qin Dynasty will spare no expense to find the murderer’s identity. Du Guxiong may not fear, but you will be in danger!”

“Once your identity is exposed, you will face relentless pursuit from the Great Qin Dynasty! Moreover, you might not succeed!”

“Although Du Guxiong is powerful, Qin Ershi’s status is not simple, and his protector’s strength is exceptionally formidable. Even Du Guxiong himself might not be able to defeat him!”

“Moreover, once something happens, the powerful of the Great Qin Dynasty will come to support! At that time, you won’t get Qin Ershi’s body, but instead, your identity might be exposed!”

“I advise not to take the risk!” Cang Lao said in a deep voice.

If Du Guyun could devour Qin Ershi, he would definitely take off, but the risk was too great, and the impact too significant.

Cang Lao still felt it was better to be more cautious. Even though being cautious meant taking more time, one could still silently grow stronger.

Taking action against Qin Ershi was different. It would put oneself in an unrecoverable situation. The relentless pursuit of immortal powers was no joke.

“I understand what Master thinks! But Qin Ershi is crucial for me. If I can devour him, I can quickly close the gap with Jiang Chen!”

“Moreover, without taking risks, how can one gain greatly? Steady progress is good, but taking a chance is also not bad!”

“Moreover, opportunity often comes with danger. If I see danger and don’t act, wouldn’t I be letting the opportunity slip by?”

Du Guyun understood what Cang Lao said, but he did not agree. Though risky, the gains were also extremely considerable.

“Master, you often told me that opportunity knocks but once! Now is such a time, this is my opportunity! If I don’t seize it now, I will regret it for the rest of my life!”

“Moreover, cultivating the Immortal Devouring Technique itself means making enemies of the whole world. Now, it’s just happening a bit earlier!”

“Without a heart to face the world as an enemy, how can one achieve the supreme path?” Du Guyun retorted.

After hearing that Du Guxiong would help him, his mind was completely made up. No matter what others said, he would not change his mind.

As this was an opportunity, one that might not come again.

Opportunity knocks but once.

If he give up this chance he would surely regret it immensely in the future.

Du Guyun did not want to lose this opportunity!

“Ah! You decide for yourself!” Cang Lao’s tone was complex.

Du Guyun’s words were not without reason. Opportunity itself comes with danger and opportunities are hard to find, not everyone has the chance like Du Guyun.

Nor does everyone have a father like Du Guxiong. Even knowing the dangers, Du Guyun still wanted to take the chance just to shorten the distance with Jiang Chen.

Because of this clarity, Cang Lao did not continue to persuade Du Guyun. As he knew, Du Guyun had already made up his mind. Even with heartfelt persuasion, he Guyun would not listen.

“Perhaps it’s time to consider changing to someone else!” Cang Lao thought to himself.

Du Guyun was too dangerous, provoking this one today, that one tomorrow and the powers he provoked were not simple.

Cang Lao worried that one day, Du Guyun would lead them both to death and to prevent this from happening he planned to prepare a way out.

He truly dared not continue with Du Guyun. He could almost foresee that after taking action against Qin Ershi, Du Guyun would face countless pursuits!

If it were ordinary powers, so be it, but how to deal with immortal powers?

Even in his prime, he needed to be cautious, let alone him now, just a remnant soul.
