3672: C3672 Real Cause

C3672 Real Cause

The old man suddenly said, "I think very highly of you!"

With that, the old man returned to his cabin.

Yang Bo looked at the departing back view and didn't say anything. He sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate again.

Zhuo Bufan became silent as he didn't want to say a word. He just stood at the side without saying a word.

A few days later, the old man walked out and let out a heavy sigh. "Truly useless. He can't even beat a single demon beast!"

Yang Bo was astonished. He never thought that the old man from the previous generation would be able to calculate such a small thing. That young cultivator should have already died.

In the past few days, although there were many cultivators on the island who were keeping an eye on the ship, the number of cultivators who were willing to board was becoming fewer and fewer.

When Yang Bo saw the old man, he could not help but ask, "Senior, why are there so few people willing to board a ship?"

"Is it because of the notoriety of the ship?"

The old man glanced at Yang Bo, "Then why have you been unable to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm for so long? Is it because the Heavenly Fate Realm doesn't smell good?"

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment before shaking his head helplessly.

The old man explained, "Not everyone can see the Rebirth Boat. Not everyone can see the Rebirth Ship!"

The Rebirth Ship is famous, and many people are like me. They don't want to involve Karma, which is why so few people get on board!

As he spoke, the old man took out a stack of bamboo slips. He opened them and saw that they were densely packed with words.

Yang Bo walked forward, wanting to take a look at these words. Unexpectedly, the old man put away the bamboo block and said, "You can't read it!"

Although Yang Bo could not see it clearly, he could see that the words on the bamboo block seemed to be a list of names.

After a long while, the old man looked at Yang Bo and asked, "What conditions did I give you to be able to kill the tiger demon?"

Yang Bo shook his head. "Why would I want to kill a tiger demon?"

The old man explained, "Because the tiger demon has committed many evil deeds, and it has killed many cultivators. If you can kill the tiger demon, it will be considered killing harm for the people. By doing this, you will be able to obtain merits that will allow your cultivation to progress even faster!"

Yang Bo asked, "Why didn't you do it yourself?"

The old man did not hide anything and said straightforwardly, "Because if I make a move, there will be cause and effect. I do not want to be infected by the cause and effect of a demon beast!"

Yang Bo suddenly understood. The list on the bamboo block should be the list of the old man's missions. The names written on it were all the old man's missions. According to the order in the list, he had been killing these cultivators and demon beasts!

In order to not be tainted by karma, the Old Man of the Rebirth would always request for these cultivators that came to visit to make a move. He would just watch by the side.

According to the words of the old man from the past, the Cultivators and Demonic beasts on the list had committed many evil deeds, killed many people, and were also implicated in Karma. If they killed the Cultivators, they would also be implicated in Karma, but at the same time, they would receive merit!

Seeing that Yang Bo did not respond, the old man helplessly said, "Fellow Taoist Yang, your cultivation level isn't high, so karma is of no use to you. Could it be that if someone kills you, you won't do it?"

"Wait until your cultivation increases by a few realms, then you'll need to pay attention to the cause and effect. Therefore, killing a tiger demon has no effect on you at all!"

Yang Bo furrowed his brows and shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer. Maybe someone will arrive soon!"

The old man asked, "Aren't you in a hurry to go to the East China Sea? You're not in a hurry now? "

Wu Tie said, "Isn't this place the East Sea?"

The old man stared at Yang Bo, "This is the Southern Sea!"

Yang Bo's eyes widened as he stared at his surroundings. The surface of the sea was so wide that it was impossible to determine one's direction, and he had no way of knowing the exact location of this place.2

However, Yang Bo could guess that this must be the doing of the reborn old man. He wanted to bring him along, probably because he wanted to use him as a laborer, and when he encountered a difficult mission, the reborn old man wanted Yang Bo to help him complete it!

When the old man saw that Yang Bo was not easy to fool, he could only turn his head to look at Zhuo Bufan, "Fellow Taoist Zhuo, I'll have to trouble you to take the next step!"

Zhuo Feifan was slightly startled. He really wanted to refuse, but he clearly didn't have any confidence. In the face of the old man's request, he directly nodded and agreed, "Okay!"

"You guys stay here for a while, I'll be right back!"

Zhuo Feifan flew out from the ship and headed towards the tiger demon.

Looking at the direction in which Zhuo Yuan had left, the old man pointed at Wu Tie and said, "Do you see that? This is an example!"

"Next, you must learn from him!"

Yang Bo looked at the old man, "Tell me, why did you bring me on the boat?"

"I don't believe you. You want me to help you kill the cultivators of the demon beasts. What is the real reason?"

The old man laughed, "You don't believe me?"

Yang Bo chuckled and said nothing.

After a long while, the old man finally spoke, "Do you still remember the last mission?"

"What was the name of the monk I told you to kill at that time?"

Yang Bo was slightly stunned. "Sea-like fragrance?"

Old Man Rebirth nodded. He suddenly took out the bamboo block again. He flipped open the bamboo block and pointed at the words on it. "Look at this line of words!"

Staring at the bamboo scroll, Yang Bo saw that the line of words on it was ash-gray. "Sandsea Aroma. It roams the vicinity of the East Sea's Freedom Island. A total of nine people have been killed!"

The old man stretched out his finger and pointed at another line of words, "Look at this line of words again!"

Yang Bo followed the direction pointed by the old man and saw a line of black text. The black text faintly glowed, "South Sea Tiger Demons roam the island, killing a total of six people!"

Yang Bo shook his head. "What does that mean?"

The old man chuckled and didn't put away the bamboo block. Instead, he allowed the bamboo block to be displayed in front of Yang Bo.

Yang Bo couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that killing these evil cultivators and demon beasts is your mission?"

"After these demon beasts and cultivators die, you will be able to complete the mission, and obtain merit?"

The old man nodded, "Exactly so. These are all my tasks. Have you not noticed that these two lines of words are clearly different?"

Yang Bo nodded, "The color is a bit poor..."

Without waiting for Yang Bo to finish speaking, he stopped in his tracks. He had clearly seen the words of the tiger demon turn ash-gray in the blink of an eye!

The Rebirth Realm old man said, "Rebirth Realm cultivators are really fast!"

"The tiger demon has already been killed by Zhuo Feifan. He will be back soon. Do you understand?"

Yang Bo looked at the old man and vaguely guessed that the old man might have known about the news of Sha Haixiang's survival, but he was not sure. Hence, he could only ask, "What do you want to express?"
