Chapter 78 Cause and Effect, the Truth
Chapter 78 Cause and Effect, the Truth
"I'm confident in my strength. I never intended to kill her there, and she certainly wouldn't have been seriously injured."
He stared at Zhang Yunmiao, his mind racing: "On the contrary, it's you who's always been by Su Rentong's side. If something happens to her, you'll be the prime suspect!"
"How could it be me? My junior sister and I are from the same sect, and we've been together since Earth to the Ancient Realm. Why would I want to harm her!"
Zhang Yunmiao's face darkened, and he angrily shouted at Chen Ren, "Stop making baseless accusations here! You cannot escape your guilt!"
"Heh, me spouting nonsense?"
Chen Ren smiled coldly on the surface, but secretly, he had already drawn his sword.
The sword of cause and effect is drawn, a rehearsal!
The small bow beneath the sword of calamity became the link between cause and effect. Chen Ren saw that line again and continued to walk forward along it.
At that moment, the instant he grasped the sword of calamity, time outside froze completely.
His little bow returned to that night.
He also witnessed that absurd and laughable scene: Su Rentong had actually died in such a ridiculous way.
He was indeed indirectly responsible for her death, but the mastermind was actually Zhang Yunmiao.
His face immediately turned cold.
"Damn, I see!"
He was asking why Zhang Yunmiao was so eager to target him; it turned out that he was the one who killed the person.
He genuinely believed that after he severed Su Rentong's spiritual roots, magic, and assets, she died from a stroke caused by anger.
Coincidentally, this happened right after he left. At that moment, he was so afraid of being discovered that he didn't care what others were doing.
So they didn't notice that Su Rentong's presence had disappeared.
"However, this also saves me a worry. Zhang Yunmiao, I really don't know whether to thank you or kill you."
Chen Ren sneered, feeling confident after the rehearsal ended.
At this moment, Zhang Yunmiao was about to make a move, but Chen Ren, knowing the truth, wouldn't tolerate it.
In an instant, his figure vanished from his spot, and in another flash, he was already in front of Zhang Yunmiao.
This time he didn't hold back, and a powerful kick was aimed at his dantian.
If it really comes down to a fight, his dantian and qi sea will be shattered, and he'll be a cripple for life.
Zhang Yunmiao's face was filled with terror, as if a shadow of death had descended upon him.
He never expected that this bastard would be so bold as to try to kill him in front of his master.
Just when he was about to succeed, Chen Ren realized he couldn't continue fighting.
Everything around him was frozen, firmly suppressed by a terrifying spiritual energy.
It was Wenren Yu who intervened; seeing his disciple being bullied, he certainly wouldn't want Chen Ren to continue harming him.
"Chen Ren, how dare you!"
Wenren Yu's face turned ugly: "I'm still here, and you're still going to kill my disciple?"
"So what if you're Zhang Yunqing's disciple? Killing one wasn't enough, you have to kill my second disciple too!"
He couldn't help but use his spiritual power when he spoke, which made Chen Ren's internal organs tremble and cause them to shift and rupture.
"Cough... Ugh..."
He coughed up blood and felt excruciating pain all over his body.
It hurts.
He shakily took out the ibuprofen and swallowed it, then glared angrily at Wenren Yu.
"He shouldn't have been killed? I think you really should take a closer look, see what this beast did, and how Su Rentong actually died!"
Chen Ren stared intently at Wenren Yu and Zhang Yunmiao: "What kind of skill is it to bully the weak? When my master returns, you'd better not hide!"
"Bullying the weak?"
Wenren Yu laughed angrily: "This is the Ancient Realm, not Earth. What's wrong with bullying the weak? You're just an ordinary disciple who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage. So what if I kill you?"
"Are you really that naive? I'm not killing you because I'm kind, not because I can't kill you."
He has now completely broken off all pretense of civility, and at this moment, he naturally stands on the side of his apprentice.
Chen Ren's heart sank lower and lower. The law of the jungle, the prosperity of human civilization, lies beneath the most savage nature.
He miscalculated. Even if he told them the truth, they probably wouldn't believe him. To put it bluntly, he lacked talent and connections, and people simply looked down on him.
If it weren't for Teacher Feng Jinghu here today, I might have already been killed.
…………
At this time, Wang Chengxian and Ren Renren had already returned to Shangqing Peak. They spent a lot of money to take a flying vehicle directly back to Qingcheng Mountain Academy.
The ticket price was over 200,000 yuan per person, which made them feel heartbroken, but they couldn't care less at the moment. Their junior brother was in critical condition, and they had to ask the elders of the sect to step in.
"Still can't contact Master?"
Wang Chengxian asked Ren Renren, who shook his head: "I can't get through on the phone, and he hasn't replied to my messages either."
"I have no choice but to do as my junior brother says. I just contacted the Foundation Establishment backer of the Wang family, but when he heard that I was going to be associated with Dongfang Dongyang, he actually hung up on me."
Wang Chengxian looked grim. They put on the Swiftness Talismans that they usually couldn't bear to use and quickly ran up the mountain.
With a whoosh, the wind and human voices rushed from the foot of the mountain to the top.
"Junior brothers, why are you in such a hurry?"
Senior Brother Liu Qi happened to be on the mountain as well. He had already completed his mission and returned. When he saw their hurried and flustered appearance, his heart sank.
problem occurs?
"Senior Brother, there's no time to explain! Junior Brother is trapped in Xiaoqing Kingdom, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Tianshi Cave are trying to kill him!"
After saying this, Wang Chengxian had already run into the Sanqing Hall and immediately saw the prayer mat on the ground.
Without saying a word, he kicked him!
"Crack!" That was the sound of a foot bone splitting open, but the futon remained completely still.
[Ding: Wang Chengxian's Karma Sword Drawing Value +20]
What material is this futon made of?
He gasped, gritted his teeth, and began to push with his hands.
No, it still wouldn't budge. Wang Chengxian hurriedly called out to Ren Renren, "Come help me!"
He shouted loudly, and Ren Renren also joined in pushing, but even the two of them couldn't move the prayer mat an inch.
"It still doesn't work. Quick, go and call all the senior brothers and sisters on the mountain."
In this Shangqing Palace, besides them, there are three senior brothers and sisters: Renmu, Renchuan, and Renqian. However, because everyone is always making money to buy cultivation resources, they often cannot meet.
Coincidentally, everyone happens to be on the peak today.
With the combined efforts of the six people, they finally managed to push the prayer mat down.
"Junior brother, why are we pushing these prayer cushions?"
Renxi frowned and asked, "Why did Junior Brother get into trouble with a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Celestial Master Cave?"
Wang Chengxian ignored it and stared at the empty Sanqing Hall. Didn't Chen Ren say that an old man would spawn? Where is the old man?
He had already pushed the prayer mat off the table.
"I don't know, but my junior brother said it's feasible."
He was at his wit's end. Was he just going to watch himself die in Xiaoqing Kingdom?
"I think we should go together to rescue Xiao Ren."
As the senior disciple, Liu Qi calmly spoke up: "After all, he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Our only chance is to gamble."
"If he wants to kill Xiao Ren, he has to kill us first. We are all the disciples of Shangqing Palace. He has to be wary of our Shangqing Palace's founders and elders before he can make a move."
"That's a good idea!"
Wang Chengxian's eyes lit up instantly, but soon he lowered his head again. He, Ren Renren, and senior brother Liu Qi could agree, but could Ren Mu and the other two agree?
Who would be willing to risk their life for a junior brother they've known for less than a year?
"I'm the one who brought Xiao Ren into this family."
Liu Qi's voice was resolute. He glanced at Ren Mu and the other two, but still couldn't bring himself to speak.
This is moral blackmail, and he knows what Wang Chengxian is thinking.
Who will be sent to their death?
"Senior brother, do you perhaps think we're cowards who fear death?"
Ren Mu laughed and said, "Do you think we're able to enter the Shangqing Palace because we're like those impure-hearted people from other sects?"
One of Zhang Yunqing's Great Daos is Observing the Heavens, which allows one to see a person's character and distinguish right from wrong. The fact that they were able to enter this sect has already proven their character.
