I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

To the spectating disciples who hadn’t managed to flee the Dining Hall yet, Zou Feng’s attack, while astonishingly powerful, didn’t seem particularly fast.

Logically, with the strength of the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples, they should have had plenty of time to dodge or defend.

But somehow, the two of them just stood there, stunned, and watched as the dragon of Evil Qi swallowed them whole.

Of course, it wasn’t that the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples were actually being foolish. The instant the dragon of Evil Qi appeared, the murderous aura it radiated completely overwhelmed their senses.

The oppressive feeling, like being a lone soldier suddenly surrounded by an army of thousands, left them capable of only reacting with terror and despair.

The power of Evil Qi has always leaned toward ”intimidation.” It’s just like how when someone ”bristling with killing intent” walks by, passersby will instinctively get out of their way.

The incident came and went in a flash.

Without a doubt, things had escalated.

After the impact from the dragon of Evil Qi dissipated, the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples lay collapsed in a massive crater.

One of them had a breath as faint as a silk thread, while the other had stopped breathing entirely.

The first time Zou Feng unleashed the Evil King’s Baleful Flame Black Dragon Wave, the result was one death and one severe injury among the two Spiritual Energy Realm Cultivators.

Moreover, these two were considered relatively skilled fighters among the sect’s Cultivators.

However, even though he had essentially insta-killed them, Zou Feng wasn’t in great shape himself.

Unleashing one ultimate move after another, especially the dragon of Evil Qi, had nearly drained him completely.

Not to mention, he had been ”locked” down by the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples’ Skills earlier. Under the corrosion of ice crystals and strange fire, even his Extraordinary to Saint-level Tribulation-Indestructible Body couldn’t completely negate the damage.

But it wasn’t a major issue. He just needed to eat some restorative supplements and rest up to recover.

On the surface, however, Zou Feng feigned breathlessness, putting on the appearance of being severely injured.

He wasn’t afraid of escalating the situation. With a Law Enforcement Hall disciple killed in the Dining Hall, the investigation would certainly request the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s intervention.

A moment later, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out.

He Wenxuan, the Elder of Taian Mountain’s Dining Hall, finally arrived in a great panic.

Zou Feng was now well aware that the circle of Spirit Chefs formed its own faction within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect and did not fear the Purple Cloud Association.

Therefore, He Wenxuan’s appearance meant he didn’t have to worry about any further surprises for the time being...

That evening, Zou Feng walked out of the ”Hall of Cauldron Inquiry,” accompanied by He Wenxuan.

The Hall of Cauldron Inquiry was, naturally, the place for communicating with the Celestial Dao Cauldron.

But Zou Feng wasn’t qualified to participate in the entire process. A number of Inner Sect Elders and Stewards were handling the matter.

The fact that he could leave with He Wenxuan now clearly meant the matter had been resolved.

In short, the fault was not his.

He had merely chosen to fight back when faced with two Law Enforcement Hall disciples who were abusing their power for personal gain and threatening him with force.

Furthermore, the fact that Zou Feng, while in the Spirit Body Realm, could defeat two opponents in the Spiritual Energy Realm was tantamount to displaying his Talent to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. This would garner him some extra attention and lead to focused nurturing.

However, it was worth mentioning that in any other place, a Spirit Body Realm cultivator defeating a Spiritual Energy Realm cultivator would be a sensational feat.

But in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, while still uncommon, it wasn’t considered all that rare.

After all, there were far too many prodigies gathered from countless Outer Realms. Even someone like Li Dingjie, a case of Reincarnation Rebirth, wasn’t considered a top-tier prodigy.

He Wenxuan walked ahead, his voice laced with approval. ”Well done. If you had meekly followed them to the Inner Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, you might not have been killed, but you definitely would have been crippled!”

”With the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s intervention, the Purple Cloud Association can’t escape responsibility. Even that True Inheritor backing them will be punished.”

”For the next few years, at least, the Purple Cloud Association won’t dare to openly cause trouble for you. However...”

”You’ve made a powerful enemy of the True Inheritor behind them!”

Hearing this, Zou Feng couldn’t help but shrug. ”Elder He, I’m... just an Outer Disciple. How could I possibly be worthy of making an enemy of a True Disciple?”

”Of course not right now. But if you manage to become a Core Disciple, and he happens to be the type to hold a grudge...”

Zou Feng took the opportunity to ask, ”Elder He, which True Inheritor is behind the Purple Cloud Association?”

”True Monarch Tianyan, Nangong Chu!”

「Meanwhile」

Fu Jiaming, the vice president of the Purple Cloud Association, was kneeling before a stone statue.

The statue depicted a handsome and majestic man with a powerful aura.

However, on its forehead, there was also a vertical eye.

At this moment, Fu Jiaming had long since lost his usual composed and stylish demeanor.

He knelt before the statue, his expression one of utter terror and apprehension.

”Brother Nangong, I... I truly knew nothing about this! It’s all Wang Rui’s fault. He acted on his own initiative...”

A moment later, an invisible and immeasurably vast power emanated from the statue.

The vertical eye on the statue’s forehead seemed to come to life. Its eyeball swiveled and fixed its gaze on Fu Jiaming.

”If it was not your fault, then why lose your composure?”

A voice that felt as pleasant as a spring breeze rang out.

It also allowed Fu Jiaming to let out a long sigh of relief.

”Brother Nangong, then...”

The statue’s voice continued, ”I observed the stars last night. That Outer Sect disciple, Zou Feng... seems to be quite something.”

”This person bears the aspect of a Heavenly Star of Calamity. He easily attracts disaster and will face endless tribulations.”

Fu Jiaming had initially thought this was Nangong Chu’s way of reminding him not to provoke Zou Feng any further.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Chu’s tone shifted. ”The stars show that the baleful star this man represents has a certain chance of becoming the Star of Death hanging over your head.”

”A Star of Death?” Fu Jiaming gave a bitter, helpless smile in his heart.

’I thought Brother Nangong was letting me off the hook, but these words are clearly a curse on me.’

’Then again, what Brother Nangong said might be true. After all, he didn’t give himself the title of True Monarch Tianyan.’
