#26 - Chapter 26: The bounty in the group, the first battle against the immortal cultivator
The Wang estate was brightly lit at night.
After several rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, the atmosphere was lively.
Xue Deshan was dead drunk at the banquet. He didn't use his qi and blood to dispel the alcohol, letting it go to his head, and he slumped on the table, rambling.
"It's not that easy to let go. No matter what, he's still my son!"
"Regardless of who's right or wrong, if your own flesh and blood were killed, could you easily let it go?"
"I hate myself for not teaching Yong'er well, and I also hate your decisiveness in killing, but I can also understand that even if you spared Yong'er's life, he would eventually die at the hands of the government executioner. After all, a life for a life is a matter of course..."
Xue Deshan's face was flushed with drunkenness, and sadness was revealed in his eyes. He stared straight at the half bowl of wine in front of him, muttering to himself.
Zong Hong and Hong Ling silently stayed by his side, sipping small cups of wine, their minds filled with thoughts.
Chen Changsheng, having eaten and drunk his fill, walked out of the house and strolled around the estate with Wang Jiayun, admiring the night scenery and enjoying the peaceful time.
A cool breeze brushed across their faces, and the moon was reflected on the lake's surface.
Wang Jiayun lightly brushed her hair, looked at Chen Changsheng's handsome face, and softly asked, "Is Young Master Chen thinking about Xue Yong's matter?"
Chen Changsheng turned his gaze to the night scene by the lake, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Xue Yong didn't die by my hand, but his death is inextricably linked to me. I wonder if I would feel more at ease if I had handed Xue Yong over to the government at the time."
He intervened to protect Hong Ling. As fellow disciples of the same martial arts hall, there was nothing wrong with doing so.
However, after seriously injuring Xue Yong and leaving him with no power to resist, Chen Changsheng indulged Hong Ling's revenge.
"Young Master Chen, you don't need to think too much. This is one situation, that is another. At that time, you had to think about how to protect yourself, not only to guard against Xue Yong's revenge afterward, but also to avoid Hall Master Xue's settling of accounts later. No one knows what they, father and son, would do."
Wang Jiayun's voice was soft, stating the facts: "Now that you have the strength to not fear the Xue family, father and son, you will naturally feel that it is better to hand people over to the government, but at that time, you had only been in contact with martial arts for a short time, and it was normal to have concerns."
She wrapped her arms around Chen Changsheng's arm and leaned closer: "You didn't do anything wrong. It was clearly Xue Yong who was wrong. Why create a mistake for yourself out of thin air?"
These words made Chen Changsheng slightly stunned, and he immediately realized that he was being too attached.
If it hadn't been for Wang Jiayun's guidance, he would have fallen into a cognitive bias, needlessly adding extraneous thoughts, and his actions would have become hesitant later on.
He is a cultivator, a long-lived being, and a spectator of time, but that doesn't mean he has no right to intervene in the myriad aspects of life.
Chen Changsheng inadvertently stood at a high angle, and the things he thought about naturally became more numerous and complex.
Wang Jiayun, from beginning to end, maintained the mentality of an ordinary person, looking at the problem from an ordinary perspective, without any messy thoughts, so her view was the most direct and insightful.
"Thank you, you have awakened me. Why think too much about life!"
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but hug Madam Wang and give her a hard kiss.
He is a cultivator, and a long-lived being, he must have both the indifference of a cultivator and the heart of a mortal.
The latter smiled brightly, her delicate and beautiful face, without makeup, seemed like a celestial being.
Being able to share Young Master Chen's worries is happier than anything else.
The two figures leaned close together, walking back to the room in the moonlight. Just as Chen Changsheng was preparing to reward Madam Wang properly, he stopped.
"Madam Wang, please go back first, and tell the surrounding servants to disperse."
Chen Changsheng's smile faded, he shielded Wang Jiayun behind him, and at the same time, a sharp sword hidden outside the house suddenly flew into his hand, vibrating with a faint sword cry.
"Wh-what happened?" Wang Jiayun realized something was wrong and instantly became nervous: "Do you need to notify Second Uncle and the others?"
"It's just a small matter. Your retreat is the greatest help to me."
Chen Changsheng gently used his true qi to carry Wang Jiayun away, held the sword in one hand, and pushed open the door.
He saw a one-armed man in a gray robe stained with blood, leaning against the bed.
His appearance was unremarkable, easily forgotten if placed on the side of the road, but his pair of cold eyes made people shudder.
"Fellow Daoist's act of trespassing is very impolite," Chen Changsheng said indifferently, somehow feeling that the other person's appearance was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Wait, it seems like I saw it in a portrait in the group file?
Chen Changsheng's mind moved, and all the portraits in the group file were arranged and displayed.
He glanced and found that one of the bounty portraits posted by group member Luo Shiyi was the person in front of him!
Foundation Establishment cultivator, Si Kui!
However, the Si Kui in front of him didn't seem to be in good condition. His cultivation realm had fallen from Foundation Establishment to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he had also been cut off an arm.
In the eyes of Foundation Establishment cultivators, Qi Refining cultivators with ordinary aptitude are no different from mortals. They are destined to be unable to establish a foundation and are the stepping stones for countless cultivators.
"I am not fortunate enough to enjoy your great opportunity, please leave quickly," Chen Changsheng said indifferently.
Si Kui snorted coldly: "Ignorant and foolish!"
Whoosh!
With a casual wave of his hand, a cold light burst from his fingertips in an instant, like a crescent moon that flashed past, cutting Chen Changsheng in half!
However, Si Kui raised his eyebrows, only to see that the Chen Changsheng who had been cut off dissipated, and what he had hit just now was only a phantom image.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Changsheng's movements were as fast as shadows, approaching, and the blade in his hand bloomed with scarlet lightning, continuously slashing out more than a dozen sword qi, like dense lightning that flashed across in an instant, illuminating the entire night.
Si Kui's expression was calm, leaning against the bed and flicking his fingers continuously.
Streams of white cold light shot out rapidly, colliding with the rushing sword qi and sparking clanging sparks.
While Chen Changsheng was wielding his sword, he formed a hand seal with one hand to activate the Blood God Lightning Technique, condensing lightning with blood.
Si Kui, who originally had a condescending expression, suddenly changed his face drastically.
As Chen Changsheng's lightning technique was activated, his shoulder arm, which was soaked with blood, suddenly bloomed with scarlet lightning, like blood snakes struggling and writhing, and the violent power of lightning burst out with blood light.
"What kind of lightning technique is this?!"
Si Kui let out a terrified cry.
Countless scarlet divine lightning bombarded, and the entire room was turned into dust under the lightning.
Immediately afterward, a beam of lightning rushed over, Si Kui's entire body burst out with true qi, and a long spear appeared in his hand, colliding with the swift lightning.
Boom!
Between the sharp swift lightning sword light and the spear light, a majestic true qi vibrated, spreading out in waves in a ring-shaped giant wave.
In an instant, a violent wind swept through, mud and sand flew, and the violent fluctuations destroyed all the surrounding buildings and greenery, leveling an area of dozens of feet!
