NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27: Dirty Old Man
The class ended shortly after this. I went to the board almost instantly. I had seen a simple quest there before that I now had permission to take on. It wasn't anything fancy, just a request to hunt monster beasts in a particular area. This was actually one of the quests I hadn't been able to take from the Purple Phoenix Palace. Which meant it was an easy excuse to go see my Master again.
I left to hunt monster beasts quickly after getting permission to accept the quest. As I left the Temple a few saw a streak of lightning rolling through the clouds in the sky.
Looking down at the ground I saw many people looking up in awe. It was rare to see a cultivator. And even less so to see one that controlled Lightning. It was a happy sight. Kids were running through the small village almost as if to try and catch up to me. Even the adults were pleased. The village took it as a sign of good fortune and good harvest.
I continued flying through the world making my way to the mountain forest where my hunting task led me to. I felt an odd sense of power coming from something within me as I flew on. Though I decided to ignore it for the most part after investigating and coming up with nothing.
Later on I reached a road where I saw bandits attacking a carriage. The carriage seemed to belong to a mortal company. I of course being the disciple of one of the top sects in the world had the information about the trading companies in this world. Though this only really extended to the ones that traded and dealt in cultivation materials. I decided to watch as this event unfolded. Clearly my father didn't mind and I wasn't super pressed for time.
Now I wasn't watching to get some kind of sick enjoyment of watching people die. No, it just seemed like it would be stupid to attack a carriage that had 30 guards. Each in full armor and geared to the teeth with equipment. The bandits had to have something backing them. it was. only logical. I'd have to call myself a waste if I didn't suspect it.
"Hold strong men! The bandits are on their last leg!" a guard called out, clearly the captain of this group.
"Heh, that's what you think! Why don't you just give up the woman and the girls. They will be excellent playthings for me and the boys." a roughed up bandit, clearly their leader said.
"Ha! I was trusted with these women's well being and I refuse your idiotic proposition. You'll have to take these women over all our cold dead bodies." the captain roared out.
In that moment 3 bandits un-a-lived at the hands of the guards. One was beheaded and the other two were pierced through their non-existent hearts. The bandit leader was barely able to dodge a lethal strike as a few beads of blood dripped out of the relatively superficial wound.
"Ah! you bastard if you won't give me the girls then I'll have to use force!" the bandit leader said.
"With just you? Even in your dreams you can't beat my troop." The captain said.
The bandit smirked a sly evil smile. "Sir cultivator, if you help us get the prize you can have the first round of pleasure." The Bandit leader shouted out.
An old man appeared, he was clearly at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. Though he certainly didn't notice me. Otherwise he would have come after me first before doing anything. His face showed his clear and obvious perversion.
"Ahaha, you have found this old master some fresh young flowers to pick. Of course this master will take action for you." The old cultivator grinned with an evil intent. "Let this man taste your flowers!" he said, licking his lips.
The Captain of the guards raised his shield knowing it wouldn't do anything. "I won't just let you!" he said, gritting his teeth.
This captain must be quite charismatic. To think he had the ability to compel himself and his troop to stay strong even in front of impossible odds. I like this non cultivator. He is a good man.
"I'd rather die than be used as a dirty old man's plaything!" The woman shouted.
"You're going to have all these men's blood on your hands because you refused. And this captain does not know the Immensity of heaven and earth." the dirty old cultivator said, before rushing in.
I can't just let this happen now. I don't fear the heart demon. I fear the inaction of justice. Let's stop this man now. I quickly charged my spear and threw it right in front of the old man. I then descended with my aura sparking and crackling the very air itself.
"You have aligned yourself with evil! You may be my senior but I shall not allow you to continue this a moment longer." I stated as if it were a certainty.
"A mere True Element dares to boast before this old master! Oh! Hey you're kinda cute. Maybe I'll throw you down and take advantage of your cute little body." the old man said.
"So your perversion runs that deep I see? Then the only just thing to do is to take your life." I said, hiding my disgust.
"You won't stop me! I will deflower you as well little boy." The old sick disgusting man said. Lunging at me to attack. "You have no weapon. Now I will take you down." he added.
I called my spear back to me and stabbed the old man through the head. and cut him into pieces. Before I took the space ring and blasting every last bit of him apart.
"Disgusting old man, I wish I could have killed you in worse ways." I said floating down to a shallow hover. "I'll leave the bandits to you. If I kill themI'd have to charge you for my assistance." I said, basically commanding them to do so.
"You heard our savior spare none of these wretched dog lives!" The guard Captain said.
The bandits were quickly felled like a hot knife through butter. At first when I stopped by I didn't care about either life or death but now… Now the bandits' deaths gave me a sense of happiness. How dare they serve such a pathetic letcher that craves boys and girls. I shuddered to think how many there were in Void World.
