CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 93: DEMON LOTUS EYE

"Because your face looks too much like his, I really want to punch him."

Li Cunxu quickly came up with a reasonable excuse for his shaking hand.

"Do you hate him?"

"Yes, on the day of my father’s funeral, the person who should have been there the most, didn’t come. Recently, when I contacted him, I discovered that he didn’t even know my father had died. Anyone could not know about my father’s death, but not him. He was my father’s father! How could he be so heartless."

"And when he heard the news of my father’s death, he wasn’t sad at all, not even asking where my father was buried. How could such an unfeeling and unforgiving person exist in the world?"

Li Cunxu vented his grievances.

Li Shiyin agreed with Li Cunxu’s last statement.

Li Shiji was a heartless person.

Even to his own nephew, he could be ruthless.

Li Shiyin had an irreconcilable enmity with Li Shiji, as it was Li Shiji who killed Li Shiyin’s three sons.

However, in Li Cunxu’s view, Li Shiyin’s three sons deserved to die.

Li Shiyin’s three sons were the worst of villains, creating the illusion of a mudflow and secretly sacrificing three villages of a thousand people each to three of the Four Gods, just to satisfy their own amusement.

Yes, his three sons were followers of the Evil God, each believing in a different Evil God, playing quite a novel game.

Li Shiji realized there was a huge conspiracy being plotted to overthrow Tongdu. Once that conspiracy succeeded, Tongdu would fall, with countless deaths. Li Shiji, with his exceptional insight, detected and thwarted the plot.

Among the key participants in the plot were Li Shiyin’s three sons. When they went to capture them, the three were in the process of dismembering an adult man as part of some evil god ritual.

Furious, Li Shiji killed his eldest and second sons on the spot. However, out of family sentiment, he made a rare exception by not killing the third son, as the third son had not yet transformed into an inhuman form of an evil god follower.

Li Shiji returned the third son to Li Shiyin, instructing him to continue the family lineage as Li Shiyin had no grandchildren yet, and ordered the third son to be permanently imprisoned.

However, the death penalty could be avoided, but living punishment was unavoidable.

Li Shiji wanted the third son to atone for the innocent people’s deaths, and placed a lingering curse inside him, which activated once a day, causing him to experience the pain of being flayed.

Li Shiyin, unable to bear his son’s suffering, secretly lifted the curse. With nothing to do, the third son begged Li Shiyin to let him out. Knowing full well the third son would go out and kill again, Li Shiyin, moved by compassion, secretly let him go.

Later, Li Shiji found the third son sacrificing people to the Evil God and, in his wrath, showed no mercy and killed the third son.

After that incident, Li Shiji became radical and extreme, becoming more righteous until it turned into malevolence, unable to tolerate even a speck of sand.

"No matter what, he is still your grandfather."

Li Shiyin, like a well-meaning old man, advised earnestly.

Li Cunxu snorted coldly.

"I don’t have a grandfather like him. Okay, I’ve already helped you up, old man, I should go."

Li Cunxu’s attitude and actions were as if he vented his resentment toward Li Shiji on a stranger who looked like him.

Li Shiyin was quite pleased with this, as Li Cunxu truly disliked Li Shiji.

"Thank you, child!"

"You’re welcome."

Li Cunxu walked away without looking back.

A flash of black light flickered in Li Shiyin’s eyes, and shortly after, an electronic spirit emerged from the surrounding electronic devices.

"Master, the surrounding surveillance, including the roadside dashcam footage, has been altered. There will be no footage of you meeting Li Cunxu."

"Hmm, good, let’s go!"

Walking down the street, Li Cunxu kicked a small stone from somewhere, kicking it harder and harder.

"The ominous star Li Shiji, I just knew nothing good would come from having him as my grandfather."

"It’s all because of him, otherwise, how could this have happened."

"Perhaps he was responsible for my father’s death too."

"When I get stronger, I’ll definitely kill him."

"Make his head into a chamber pot."

As he spoke, Li Cunxu felt something was amiss and repeated the words he had just said.

"Perhaps he was responsible for my father’s death."

"No, my father couldn’t have been killed by Li Shiji. Li Shiji values family, and my father hadn’t committed any unforgivable sin, so Li Shiji had no motive to kill him."

"How could I suddenly think that Li Shiji was the one who killed my father?"

"When I get stronger, I’ll definitely kill him."

"That doesn’t make sense, why would I kill him? There’s no deep hatred, at most, I’d get stronger to beat him up, not kill him?"

"And why am I suddenly fixated on making Li Shiji’s head into a chamber pot?"

Li Cunxu felt something was off, as if he’d forgotten something.

At home, the bathtub was filled with cold water, and Li Cunxu soaked in it.

With his current physique, even soaking in cold water all night wouldn’t make him catch a cold.

"I remember now."

After reminiscing for a long time, Li Cunxu finally remembered what he had forgotten.

He had forgotten about Li Shiyin’s eyes.

Because of the death of his three sons, Li Shiyin’s Holy Lotus Eye mutated into the strongest Talent Eye in the Lotus Eye lineage, the Demon Lotus Eye.

While establishing Tongdu, the Pupil Emperor, who was extremely fond of Pupil Technique Eyes, once created a ranking for Pupil Technique Eyes.

The Demon Lotus Eye ranked third.

The Pupil Emperor’s research on Pupil Technique Eyes was unrivaled in history, making his ranking highly authoritative and credible.

However, the ten great families of Tongdu refused to acknowledge it and buried the ranking list after the Pupil Emperor’s death.

The Pupil Technique of the Demon Lotus Eye is not fixed and comes in many forms, but all are exceptionally demonic.

Li Shiyin’s two Pupil Techniques are Demon Lotus Induction and Resentment Seed.

With Demon Lotus Induction, it can subtly influence others, extremely covert, even a King with high spiritual attainment wouldn’t notice.

An example is passersby ignoring and not helping Li Shiyin up, which is the result of this Pupil Technique.

Resentment Seed plants a seed of resentment. Once the seed takes root and sprouts, it amplifies the hostility towards the person marked by the Resentment Seed, eventually turning the resentment into a loathing of wishing to tear them apart.

This Pupil Technique, too, is particularly covert, completely undetectable.

In the game, Li Shiji became isolated because Li Shiyin planted the Resentment Seed in everyone who had a grudge against Li Shiji.

The highest ranking and most powerful individual among those with the Resentment Seed was a vice president.

It shows just how covert the Resentment Seed is.

The Resentment Seed was discovered later by the old president.

In fact, Li Shiyin’s Demon Lotus Eye Pupil Technique was nothing remarkable in comparison to Li Shiji’s Demon Lotus Eye.

After Li Shiji’s entire family was wiped out, in his intense emotional turmoil, Li Shiji awakened the Demon Lotus Eye.

Li Shiji’s Demon Lotus Eye Pupil Techniques are Dao Heart Seeding Demon and Demon Lotus Restructuring.

Dao Heart Seeding Demon plants a Demon Lotus seed in someone’s Dao Heart. If the Dao Heart is firm, the Demon Lotus seed won’t bloom, but if there’s even a single defect, the seed will take root and sprout.

Once the Demon Lotus seed takes root and sprouts, Li Shiji can have complete control, whether they’re a Beast Master or a pet.

To counter Dao Heart Seeding Demon, there’s only one way: defend the Dao Heart steadfastly, impenetrable, without a single flaw, or it will be too late for regret.

To what extent must the Dao Heart be solid? To go through the "Heart Inquiry Tribulation" a hundred times without the slightest hesitation, then this Dao Heart can resist Dao Heart Seeding Demon.

Isn’t Dao Heart Seeding Demon perverse!

When combined with Demon Lotus Restructuring, it’s even more perverse.
