Incarnation Of The Overlord

Chapter 10

Song Que possessed sharp hearing after he officially became a cultivator. Combined with his mastery of the Eternal Scripture, he could hear the sounds of battle nearby. He immediately came out of the water with his clothes still wet and saw that an uneven fight was taking place. But because he did not know the full situation, he simply stayed silent behind a banana tree—observing, paying attention, and listening to what they were saying so that he might intervene if there was a chance.

Of course, he could not be detected by anyone’s perception, because he had activated a breath-holding technique called the Sneaking Turtle Technique. Within that technique there were two movements. The first was the Sneaking Turtle Technique, and the second was the Steel Turtle. He had mastered both techniques over the past few months, and that was also his capital for leaving the hiding place where he had secluded himself during his training with the Eternal Scripture.

The scripture was quite thick with many chapters. Song Que had already mastered several parts of the early chapters. From the Heart Sutra, which trained self-control and the best cultivation method, it also regulated the meridian points within the human body. Through that method, he could become both a physician and an alchemist. The next chapter was the Turtle Technique.

Bam! Bam! The booming sounds rang loudly and snapped Song Que out of his thoughts. He jumped to another banana tree to avoid stray attacks that might hit him. He cursed under his breath.

“Damn it! I ended up here by accident, and they’re attacking recklessly too!”

A figure flew toward him—not flying by himself, but sent flying by a sweeping kick. Wang Lai could be seen wiping the blood from his mouth. She Cai did not allow Wang Lai to fall; he rushed forward with his speed to deliver a punch toward Wang Lai’s chest. At that moment, he was right above Wang Lai’s body at a distance of half a meter, grinning without saying a word.

Bam! She Cai’s punch was unleashed. He was very certain that this time Wang Lai would die, and his revenge would finally end here when he killed him. But his brow immediately furrowed when his punch was blocked by a hand coming from the side.

She Cai looked at the hand and turned his head, finding a young man smiling at him. He was extremely furious! He hurriedly tried to shake off that hand. However, Song Que’s hand was like an iron clamp—hard and impossible to move.

Unable to remove it, She Cai said, “Release your hand, young man, and do not interfere in my affairs! Otherwise, you will bear heavy consequences for disturbing the revenge of the She Clan!”

Song Que still smiled when he heard that threat. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke. “It’s not that I want to interfere, old sir, but I’m not used to seeing someone die in front of me in such a cruel way. You’re striking him with all your strength, while he has already suffered internal injuries!”

Hearing those words made She Cai laugh.

“Innocent… yes, very innocent. You must have just come out of a sect and haven’t seen how cruel the world is yet to say something like that. If you don’t kill, then you will be the one who gets killed. That’s life in the outside world, young man. I suggest you step back and come with me to the She Clan. I will treat you well. What do you think of my offer?”

She Cai indeed intended to recruit Song Que into his clan. At such a young age, Song Que was able to block a punch that could kill two elephants in a single strike. That meant the young man had unlimited potential. Moreover, he was also surprised by the way Song Que appeared. After all, he had not sensed Song Que’s arrival at all. That was what made She Cai even more interested. If Song Que had wanted to kill him, perhaps he would not have been able to avoid it. Or perhaps it was because Song Que had no killing intent that he did not sense his presence.

Regardless of the possibility, She Cai admired Song Que. There were not many people he admired.

Wang Lai was stunned by the young man who had come to save him. He never expected that there would be a time when he owed someone a favor. Throughout his life, this had never happened, and for the first time he had been saved by someone else. He was a famous physician who had disappeared from the cultivation world. He secluded himself in this place to calm his mind and seek a medical breakthrough to a higher level. But unfortunately, now misfortune had fallen upon him. His cultivation was indeed slightly weaker than his current opponent, so he had been defeated easily.

“Step away, young man. Just go!” said Wang Lai. He did not want an innocent person to become a victim of the brutal hatred that She Cai harbored against him. Therefore he tried to drive Song Que away, who was still very young. In his heart he hoped that if he had met a young man like this earlier, he would have passed down all his knowledge.

Wang Lai indeed did not have a single disciple, even though he was already eighty years old. In the past he had not wanted one, but now he regretted it somewhat. It was not only loneliness but also the lack of anyone to talk to that had made him somewhat cold. The man who was once friendly had changed because of solitude.

Song Que simply smiled in response to the two voices directed at him. One wanted to recruit him, the other wanted to drive him away. Of course, neither of them could change what Song Que wanted. He wanted to end the conflict between the two of them. Because hatred produced nothing but death and regret.

The energy of hatred would transform a peaceful heart into something murky, polluted by poison that spread and worsened a person’s nature and behavior.

But how could he do it? Many people thought they could accomplish such a thing. But what was the answer? No one could erase the energy of hatred in this world as long as desire still existed.

“I will not join your clan, nor will I leave this place until the two of you make peace!” Song Que replied while looking at both of them in turn. To him, only that could bring peace to the world.

Because he practiced the Heart Sutra Technique, his mind was calm and peaceful at that moment. The technique was indeed extraordinary, capable of suppressing the anger in his chest. The energy of hatred within his body seemed to be sealed by the characters of the Heart Sutra, which were meant to calm the heart and soul.

“Foolish, truly naive. You cannot possibly decide that I will forget the grudge in my heart. This hatred has lived within me for too long, and now it is time to pay its price!” She Cai increased the strength in his right hand, but it still failed. At that moment his left hand drew a sword that appeared when he waved his hand. The sword tried to stab into Song Que’s body. But Song Que moved quickly. He blocked the swing of the sword using She Cai’s own hand, which he had already controlled.

Panic? Of course She Cai panicked. He immediately pulled back his sword. Naturally, he did not want to be injured by his own weapon.

Song Que did not allow She Cai’s thoughts to continue forming. He immediately acted, lightly patting She Cai on the shoulder. But when She Cai felt that pat, his blood surged violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was blasted away.
