Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 579

Enduring his pain, the old man tried to open his eyes. Rather than the elite he expected, a teenager was standing in front of him instead.

It was disappointing, but the man tried his best to keep himself alive and warn the teen. “Young man… run right now…”

“Leave it to me.”

The moment Chui Yim said so, he regretted his words. He never wanted to poke his nose into this kind of matter; Sung Tsz Hin’s words about worldly affairs echoed in his mind. It was known that causes would bring about effects, and meddling in others’ affairs might get him entangled and bring about unwanted effects. However, Chung Jung Sin and Cheung Yim Wang were being too cruel, and Chui Yim couldn’t bear to hear the old man’s cries anymore.

Sadly, the old man was already on his deathbed when he exited the cave.

Cheung Yim Wang and Chung Jung Sin were stunned to see Chui Yim appear; they had no idea where he came from. But upon sensing Chui Yim to be in the two-chambered state, they let down their guard.

Chung Jung Sin herself was a single-gliphic gliphist, putting her in the same state as Chui Yim, and the servant standing behind her was in the one-chambered state too. Moreover, they had Cheung Yim Wang, who had just broken through to the three-chambered state, so they would have no trouble dealing with Chui Yim.The thought of this made Chung Jung Sin raise her voice.

“Where did this blind person come from? Do not meddle with Heaven's Pillar City’s Chung Clan business! We won’t compensate you if we accidentally injure you!”

Cheung Yim Wang frowned. “He deserves death for acquiring a treasure yet not handing it to us.”

“That treasure is what got him into trouble! Leave before you end up like him, kiddo!” The Chung Clan servant yelled at Chui Yim.

“I see.” Chui Yum nodded. In great anger, he looked up into the sky for Cloud Palace.

Great senior brother, is this the worldly affairs you’re talking about? If this world is unfair, then I’ll make it fair!

Cheung Yim Wang suddenly felt that something was off and subconsciously reached out for his arrows.

Bang bang! Two loud bangs were heard, and when Cheung Yim Wang looked back, the servants were gone, replaced by Chui Yim staring at them furiously.

“How dare you!?” Chung Jung Sin was filled with shock and anger, already drawing a gliph with her slender hands. Numerous cherry blossoms shot out with a murderous aura towards Chui Yim! It was the Chung Clan’s gliph, Cherry Blossom Assassin!

Under each beautiful cherry blossom gliph was hidden a dangerous intent that could crush anything!

Chui Yim stood there still scowling, the cherry blossoms dispersing the moment they hit him.

“How could this be!?” Chung Jung Sin was unable to believe her eyes, while Cheung Yim Wang was already in his stance to fire an attack at Chui Yim!

His gliphility – Glorious Arrow! Despite facing an attack from a three-chambered cultivator, Chui Yim didn’t care as their words replayed in his mind.

“He deserves death for acquiring a treasure yet not handing it to us.”

“He deserves death for acquiring a treasure yet not handing it to us.”

Chui Yim felt a raging anger burning fiercely in his heart, difficult to quench.

The resentment was hard to dispel.

He reached out and caught the arrow with his bare hands.

Boom! Energy exploded in his hand, actually leaving a cut on Chui Yim’s strong body, bleeding slightly.

But… that was all.

Did a two-chambered glipher just catch a full-powered gliphility from a three-chambered glipher with his bare hands? Indeed. 

“Who the hell are you!?” Cheung Yim Wang screamed as if he saw a monster.

A two-chambered glipher who possesses the ability to destroy my full-force attack… Cheung Yim Wang would be an idiot if he still couldn’t tell that the teen in front of him was no ordinary person. He’s bald too…

“You’re the seventh-” A person suddenly came to Cheung Yim Wang’s mind, but he didn’t have the chance to complete his sentence before his vision was obscured.

Somebody caught his face and threw him into the ground!

Boom! At the same time, Chui Yim raised his left fist, milky-white flame burning exceptionally fiercely, resembling an avalanche flowing upwards into the sky. With that, he punched Cheung Yim Wang’s abdomen.

Puking blood, Cheung Yim Wang lost his life shortly afterwards.

It had been approximately ten breaths after Chui Yim started attacking the youths.

Out of four, three had passed away at his hands.

Horror and shock replaced Chung Jung Sin’s face of pride and confidence!

“Take… take… take action if you dare! My father is the clan leader of Heaven's Pillar City’s Chung Clan, and he will kill everyone in your family if you take my life!”

“Alright.” Chui Yim nodded. Chung Jung Sin sighed. Having my clan as support is the best thing ever. But the next moment, she heard Chui Yim muttering to himself. “I’ve never heard of someone with such a hobby in either of my lifetimes, though.” But before she could figure out what Chui Yim meant, she was being strangled.

She looked at Chui Yim’s pale face that currently looked like an angry Buddha, the burning flame soaring to the sky.

Crack.

Chung Jung Sin died in extreme fear and shock.

Chui Yim looked below him where the ground was painted bright red in the fresh blood of his enemies. The milky white flame was still burning vigorously, but it died down eventually as Chui Yim calmed down.

He looked at his surroundings with a frown.

He didn’t fear killing others, as he did it before in his past life.

But he wasn’t bloodthirsty. Chui Yim only killed those who deserved to die, and a villain like Chung Jung Sin indeed deserved it, but something just felt…

Off.

Before he could ponder on his feeling, he was distracted by the soft cries coming from behind him. He immediately returned to the old man.

He was severely injured, and given his age, Chui Yim was at a loss on how to help him despite being equipped with powerful pills and superb medical skills. He could only block his important meridians to help protect the old man’s heart temporarily.

In disbelief, the man looked up at Chui Yim. “Little Brother, you’re a great cultivator, but you have offended someone you shouldn’t have. The Chung Clan has great authority in Heaven's Pillar City, you should escape as fast as you can.”

After he finished, the man coughed weakly several times.

“Old man, rest first. You’ll be fine soon,” Chui Yim immediately said.

However, the man flashed Chui Yim a smile“Little Brother, I might have a low cultivation, but I am still able to recognize my own vitality.”

Not knowing what to say, Chui Yim kept quiet.

After some hesitation, the man spoke. “Little Brother, I have something to ask of you before my death.”

“Please.” Chui Yim nodded.

The old man pointed to the carriage that had fallen to the ground. “My… my poor child is inside, so if it’s convenient, can Sir send him back to Fallen Leaves Village? It’s about three kilometers to the west. I’ll be able to rest even in the Yellow Springs.”

“I’ll definitely do it!” Chui Yim nodded.

“Little Brother is a just person who hates evil like your personal enemy, I trust you,” the man said, and with shaky hands, he reached for a jade piece with an intense blue colour, looking just like a ball of blue flame.

“This jade is the treasure passed down to this lowly man from my ancestors, as well as the thing that brought me trouble. Now, it seems like it’s an ill-fated item, or this lowly man would not have died at such an early age, leaving behind my poor child. Please do not blame me, but since Little Brother is powerful and has great luck, please take this ill-fated item and save my child from trouble.”

Chui Yim took it silently.

Afterwards, the man looked up into the sky. “Old woman, we’ll finally meet again.” With that, he closed his eyes and never opened them again.
