Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1437 - 629: Black-robed Immortal Master

Seeing Lin Xuankong questioning Ninth Young Master Huang,

not only did those high officials and nobles all avoid him as if he were plague,

even the many officers beside Ding Ye deliberately lowered their heads; not a single person spoke, and not a single officer dared look at Lin Xuankong with even the slightest expression of dissatisfaction!

The pistols at those officers’ waists seemed unable to give them even a shred of courage; when facing this black‑robed, ghost‑faced Lin Xuankong, they gave them even less of a sense of security!

Just at this moment,

among the many officers, Ding Ye suddenly cupped his hands toward Lin Xuankong and said, "Immortal, this youngster Ding Ye has a few words he would like to say to Immortal!"

Seeing Ding Ye like this, Liang Yucheng, Ding Ye’s adjutant, Wei Hong and the others all had a drastic change of expression; they all shook their heads at Ding Ye, signaling him that at a time like this he must not provoke this black‑robed, ghost‑faced man! Liang Yucheng couldn’t help but tug hard at Ding Ye’s clothes and whispered, "Brother Ding, y-you-you... why are you standing out at a time like this!"

When Lin Xuankong heard Ding Ye’s words, he turned his head to look at this burly officer over two meters tall, Ding Ye, and spoke in a deliberately icy tone: "What, you just now fired eight shots at me in a row, and I haven’t even gone after you yet. Are you afraid I might forget that you fired eight shots at me in a row?"

When Liang Yucheng and Wei Hong heard Lin Xuankong say this, their faces turned a bit green with fright; in their hearts they all felt that Ding Ye stepping out at this moment was far too irrational! But at a time like this, Lin Xuankong had already turned his gaze over here; in their terror, let alone daring to do anything, they didn’t even dare speak to persuade Ding Ye, for fear of drawing Lin Xuankong’s attention onto themselves!

Yet Ding Ye’s expression at this moment remained as usual; he looked at Lin Xuankong with considerable composure and said:

"If Immortal were minded to pursue the matter of me firing eight shots at you just now, I’m afraid you would already have taken this Ding Ye’s life! Since Immortal has spared this Ding Ye’s life, clearly you are extremely confident; I estimate that even if Ding Ye were to fire eighty shots at Immortal, I still absolutely wouldn’t be able to harm Immortal in the slightest!

However, Ding Ye must still apologize to Immortal. Just now when Ding Ye saw Immortal seizing a pistol, I thought Immortal was some bandit come to do evil, so I opened fire,

Ding Ye was so reckless; no matter how Immortal chooses to punish me, Ding Ye is willing to accept it!"

Lin Xuankong’s tone remained deliberately cold as he said, "As for punishment, I can’t be bothered to punish you today. However, I’m a very petty person, so Ding Ye, you must remember, in this life you owe me eight shots!"

Hearing this, Ding Ye couldn’t help being a bit speechless, but in his heart he understood that this black‑robed, ghost‑faced man, whose strength was many times greater than He Daoist’s, for the moment did not intend to do him any harm.

Lin Xuankong then continued, "You just said you had some words you wanted to say to me—was that it?"

Ding Ye shook his head, pointed at Ninth Young Master Huang and said, "Immortal, this Ninth Young Master Huang’s status is exalted; he is an important figure of the Huang Family in the Capital City! If Ninth Young Master Huang were to meet with an accident here in Qingyuan City, I’m afraid countless commoners in all of Qingyuan City would face a great calamity! So Ding Ye earnestly begs Immortal, in view of the fact that Ninth Young Master Huang didn’t have a deep understanding of this He Daoist, to give him a chance!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong fell silent. In fact, he had come here in disguise this time precisely to punish this He Wu Demon Dao; as for Huang Jiu, Wei Hong and the others, they were all just mere mortals, and he had no interest in them whatsoever! The reason he rebuked this Huang Jiu was because, while escorting Miao Wan’er along the way, he had seen that the commoners of Qingyuan City were all in tattered clothes, skin and bones, while this Huang Jiu and Wei Hong and the other high officials and nobles were holding lavish banquets, feasting and making merry—truly a scene of "behind vermilion gates meat and wine go to waste, while out on the road lie the bones of the frozen dead." It was for this reason that he rebuked and intimidated this leader of the high officials and nobles, Ninth Young Master Huang!

When Ninth Young Master Huang heard Ding Ye say this, he immediately nodded again and again. After giving Ding Ye a deeply grateful look, he turned back to Lin Xuankong, his face showing a pleading expression,

"Immortal, I indeed only met this He Yao Dao a few days ago, and did not know that the Cultivation Technique he practiced was so Evil and bloodthirsty, requiring him to harm countless young girls of our Great Yan Kingdom before he could obtain Immortal True Qi! If I had known that this He Yao Dao’s Cultivation Technique required him to do so many evil deeds, I, Huang Jiu, would surely never have acted as his accomplice!

Of course, this He Yao Dao was, after all, brought here by Huang Jiu, and I nearly caused large numbers of young boys and girls in Qingyuan City and the surrounding counties to be harmed because of it. Huang Jiu is certainly responsible, so no matter what Immortal punishes Huang Jiu to do, Huang Jiu is willing to comply! Moreover, from now on Huang Jiu will definitely obey Immortal in all things; whatever Immortal may require in future, Huang Jiu is willing to exhaust all his Power to accomplish it for Immortal!"

With Li Changming possessing Sima Dongming’s influence, Lin Xuankong actually had little interest in the Huang Family behind this Huang Jiu. However, his current strength had still not reached the point where he could ignore all hot weapons, and in the upcoming process of searching for the Little World Origin Treasure, the more Power he had, the greater his strength would be, and the greater the likelihood of finding it!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong turned his head to look at that Huang Jiu and said coldly, "Though one who does not know is not guilty, you still brought this Demon Dao to Qingyuan City. If I hadn’t appeared to stop him, wouldn’t countless lives have been lost because of you? Of course, you were unaware of the method by which He Yao Dao’s Cultivation Technique is practiced; in view of that, I will not take your life! However, while a capital crime may be spared, a living punishment cannot be escaped; you must still be punished, so that you, this so‑called important figure, can learn a lesson! The first thing I will punish you to do is...
