Senior Brother, yes you're right! - Chapter 10: No one can escape my eyes

Song Yin’s hand was deeply embedded in the fat neck of the woman in green; his five fingers had sunk so deeply into her flesh that they were almost invisible.

“Ugh… ugh…”

The woman in green tried to slap Song Yin’s large hand as if she wanted to speak, but with her throat shattered, how could she make a sound? She could only kick at Song Yin’s body with her feet.

“You demoness, can you hear it? The resentment and wails of countless souls echo from within your body! You are courting death!!”

*Bang!!*

With a powerful swing, Song Yin slammed the woman in green hard into the floor. The bluestone shattered and flew everywhere, stirring up a cloud of dust.

As the dust and fog dissipated, a pothole similar to the one in the center of the square appeared. In the pothole was a woman in green clothes who had been smashed and was no longer alive.

Song Yin turned his head and stared blankly at Zhang Feixuan, who was petrified with fear. His eyes were filled with a blinding white light.

“No one can escape my eyes! No one!!”

Those eyes seem to see through a person’s soul and dig out all their sins!

Zhang Feixuan shivered violently. His knees gave way as he fell to the ground with a thud, and cried out desperately, “Senior Brother, I’m not fat, I’m not ugly, I’m even quite handsome! I don’t deserve to die!”

His body was trembling like a sieve, and his mind was already blank.

Just moments ago, he was plotting how to learn the secret of refining human pills and then make his escape.

But when he really saw Song Yin take action at close range, his mind went blank and his primal instinct to survive for longer kicked in. 

Who kills someone just because they don’t look good?!

They never did things like this in the Golden Immortal Sect!

“What are you talking about?” Song Yin asked with a puzzled expression, “What do you mean by being ugly or not? Which sect does this demoness belong to, do you know?”

Zhang Feixuan scrambled into the pit when he heard it. He didn’t even bother to use his magic. He clawed away the green stone slabs covering her body with his bare hands and frantically searched until he found a jade pendant. 

His eyes lit up, and then he knelt down without paying attention to the sharp gravel on the ground, raised the pendant with both hands, and shouted:

“It’s—it’s the Green Lotus Primordial Mother! Senior brother, it’s the Green Lotus Primordial Mother!”

“Green Lotus Primordial Mother?”

Song Yin extended his hand, and the jade pendant flew into his grasp. 

The pendant was entirely emerald green, intricately carved with an image of a green lotus pedestal. On top of the lotus was the outline of a woman who looked kind and had an aura of compassion for all living beings.

But Song Yin’s expression turned to one of disgust. “An evil path sect, huh? Hmph!”

He took a deep look at the jade pendant, as if he wanted to remember it in his heart, then put away the jade pendant and looked at the cowering people behind him.

“Great Immortal, spare my life! Great Immortal, please spare my life!!” 

A dozen mortals immediately fell to their knees and banged their heads on the ground in desperation.

“What is this for?” 

In a flash, Song Yin moved, surrounded by a swirl of white mist, and quickly appeared in front of the person in front of him. He grabbed him by the arms and helped him up.

“Don’t be afraid. We are from a righteous sect; we won’t harm you,” Song Yin said anxiously.

“Great Immortal, spare my life, spare my life!” 

The mortal dared not look at Song Yin and kept muttering.

“Quiet! Stand up!” Song Yin furrowed his brow and shouted.

The dozen or so people immediately stood up straight, not daring to make a sound.

“I’ll say it again—we are from a righteous sect. We only subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits. You are under our protection. Now that you’re here, rest assured that no one will take your lives!” Song Yin repeated firmly, which made these people calm down a little.

These people were young, mostly in their teens or early twenties, with some as young as fourteen or fifteen, and they all looked bewildered.

Song Yin then asked, “Who are you, and why have you come to our Golden Immortal Sect?”

As soon as the words “Golden Immortal Sect” were mentioned, another wave of unease spread through the group.

As Song Yin frowned, the group fell silent again. The leader of the group gathered his courage and spoke up, “Great Immortal, we came here seeking the Dao. But that woman—no, that demoness—said the Golden Immortal Sect is an evil sect. She claimed that the person who brought us here was planning to use us to refine pills and tricked us into believing we could cultivate. Then she said she would take us out.”

Song Yin thought for a moment and pointed to the corpse of Zhao Yuanhua, who had a gaping hole from the sword wound. “Was it this person?”

“Yes,” the group confirmed.

“Then that makes sense. This person was also a heretic who was probably using the name of our Golden Immortal Sect to deceive you. As for seeking the Dao… how did you come here?” Song Yin asked.

The group exchanged glances, when they noticed that Song Yin’s expression seemed sincere, they began to speak one after another.

These people came from outside the Sumeru mountain range region, and because they could not survive the relentless famines that seemed to have no end, they made the decision to climb up the mountain in a desperate attempt to seek the Dao as their last hope.

A few, like the fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, admired the immortals and wanted to live a carefree life, so they followed the evil cultivators up the mountain.

However, as Song Yin looked at them, he noticed that none of them had the spiritual light. And Judging from their qi, none of them was suitable for practicing Taoism.

“Wait here, I’ll go consult the master. Second Junior Brother,” Song Yin called out.

“Yes! I’m here! What do you need, Senior Brother?” Zhang Feixuan, startled, responded immediately.

“Keep an eye on them. The cliffs are windy; make sure no one accidentally falls off,” Song Yin instructed.

“Rest assured, Senior Brother. I’ll take good care of them,” Zhang Feixuan nodded vigorously.

With that, Song Yin quickly turned and made his way toward the main hall.

In the pill room, Jin Guang’s hands were covered in blood-soaked flesh, and he muttered to himself:

“Why is the blessing gone? Even if it’s not mixed, the boundless blessing should still be a blessing. Why has it turned into nothing but this meat paste?”

“Master!”

*Boom!*

A loud explosion echoed in the room as a powerful shout rang out. 

The stone wall that had just been built with magic exploded directly,sending bricks and stones flying. Some of the debris landed on the bloody pulp in front of Jin Guang, and one heavy stone struck him on the head, knocking his chaotic thoughts away.

“Ouch! Who dares to destroy my work? Do you want me to turn you into a human, into a—” Jin Guang was furious and a murderous expression appeared on his face. At this critical moment, someone dared to disrupt his thoughts. Are they tired of living?

The door of the pill room stirred up smoke and dust, and only two beams of white lights were shining brightly, which made people dare not look directly at it, and their souls trembled.

This familiar feeling…

Song Yin appeared at the door, his eyes were shining, and he walked straight in, “Master!”

“Ah, ah!” Jin Guang’s face suddenly changed, and he said dryly, “Disciple, your master was just researching this evil cultivator… What brings you to me?”

“Master, it’s about that evil cultivator I mentioned earlier. That evil cultivator used our sect’s name to deceive a group of mortals. I rescued a woman in green from that evil cultivator.” 

Song Yin explained the situation and then handed the jade pendant to his master. “Second Junior Brother said it’s related to the Green Lotus Primordial Mother. What kind of evil path sect is that?”

“Green Lotus Sect?” Jin Guang’s eyes widened in surprise, momentarily stunned.

He knew well who the Green Lotus Primordial Mother was—the deity worshipped by the Green Lotus Sect. 

That was a major sect, far beyond the scope of his own small, isolated sect hidden in the desolate mountains. 

The Green Lotus Sect’s disciples often traveled in the outside world, and they could be regarded as the existence that specifically troubled people like them, a serious and righteous sect.

Zhao Yuanhua lured a Green Lotus Sect disciple up the mountain? How reckless can he be?

“Disciple, why do you say that the Green Lotus Sect is an evil path sect?” Jin Guang asked cautiously.

If the Green Lotus Sect is considered to follow the evil path, then what does that make me, who refines pills using human beings? A demon?

Song Yin frowned and explained, “That woman from the Green Lotus Sect was surrounded by the wails of countless souls. It is obvious that she has swallowed too many souls. If that isn’t the mark of an evil sect, what is?”

“How do you know that?” Jin Guang couldn’t help but ask.

“Master, have you forgotten? When I achieved the Flawless True Body, I awakened many abilities. Among them,” Song Yin pointed to his own eyes, “is the ability to see through illusions. I can tell whether something is evil or not at a glance!”

Who knew that was an actual ability and not some exaggerated metaphor! 

Jin Guang resisted the urge to roar in frustration and forced a smile:  “Disciple, you truly have the makings of a great immortal!”
