The visitor was none other than Miao Yuanzheng.

The lantern in his hand had already attracted a moth, which was frantically beating against it, trying to rush into the firelight inside.

“Yu Jing, I heard you've been looking for me all these years.”

“And you promised that whoever could kill me could have you do anything for them.”

Miao Yuanzheng said loudly.

Yu Jing slowly drew out his long saber:

“That's right!”

“I've been searching the world for you for ten years. You old rat, hiding here and there, I couldn't find you no matter what.”

“So, after making that promise, I secluded myself in the mountains and forests, practicing my saber techniques every day.”

“If someone can find you, then I can kill you with my own hands!”

He held his long saber and slowly walked towards Miao Yuanzheng.

Yu Jing's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was surging with killing intent.

Tonight would be the night he personally avenged himself!

Miao Yuanzheng then said:

“Good, I will kill myself with my own hands.”

“You must promise me to go out and help someone.”

Yu Jing's footsteps stopped.

An unexpected look appeared on his face, which was filled with murderous intent.

“You've come to die?”

“You have no ties, you're ready to die, so you came to find me specifically?”

“Miao Yuanzheng, you've become weak!”

Yu Jing said in a deep voice.

Miao Yuanzheng shook his head slightly:

“I've married, had children, and sheathed my saber for many years. My martial arts haven't improved at all. Compared to you, I am indeed weaker.”

“And I'm not without ties. I have a young child who is the person I cherish most, and I'm willing to give everything for him.”

“But with the greater good at stake, I am also willing to sacrifice myself for righteousness.”

“My young child will also receive better care. Even if I die, I will have no regrets.”

Yu Jing was stunned for a long while.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He looked as if he had heard a funny joke.

He even bent over with laughter, and tears came out of his eyes.

After a long while, he laughed loudly:

“Hahahaha! This is really hilarious!”

“You people from the Heaven and Earth Hall are just a bunch of petty, self-seeking people. Your eyes are only on money. You are shameless and worse than beasts!”

“And you, Miao Yuanzheng, are the best of them.”

Yu Jing mocked incessantly.

But Miao Yuanzheng's expression remained calm.

Only after Yu Jing stopped laughing did he speak:

“People always change, especially when I personally witness countless people losing their wives and children, which makes me feel the same deeply.”

“Whether you believe it or not.”

“I just want to ask you, Yu Jing, does your promise still stand?”

Miao Yuanzheng understood Yu Jing's character, so he came here.

But he wanted to be sure if Yu Jing had changed.

Yu Jing snorted coldly:

“My promise, Yu Jing, is worth a thousand gold, so naturally it stands.”

Miao Yuanzheng nodded.

He had a feud with Yu Jing.

Back then, Miao Yuanzheng killed one of Yu Jing's friends.

And Yu Jing was a very loyal person, the kind who would do anything for a friend.

So, over the years, Yu Jing had been looking for Miao Yuanzheng, intending to avenge his friend.

And now, this grievance could be settled.

Miao Yuanzheng knew that he was no match for Yu Jing.

Back then, he couldn't beat Yu Jing, who was also a seventh-rank.

Yu Jing fought for righteousness, able to forget life and death, fighting hard without retreating.

And Miao Yuanzheng fought for money, lacking confidence, retreating when in danger.

Now, Yu Jing was already a sixth-rank martial artist.

Miao Yuanzheng was even more no match for him.

Immediately.

Miao Yuanzheng threw away the lantern in his hand, then untied the long saber on his back and threw it down.

“Are you going to kill me, or will I end my own life?”

He asked Yu Jing.

He was going to his death.

But he didn't regret it.

When the Great Virtuous Teacher hoped that he could recommend martial artists, he had already made mental preparations.

The Way of Peace relieved the sick and suffering of the world, regardless of wealth or poverty.

Miao Yuanzheng felt fortunate to be involved in such a cause.

Now Miao Yuanzheng knew that the martial artists needed by the Way of Peace were not those who were greedy and self-serving.

But those who put benevolence and righteousness first, and were eager to help others.

In this materialistic world, there were too many of the former and too few of the latter.

Fortunately, Miao Yuanzheng happened to know a few.

He had already successfully persuaded two of them to join the Way of Peace.

And now, Yu Jing was the last one, and also the one with the highest martial arts.

If the Way of Peace could get Yu Jing's help, the effect would definitely be greater than Miao Yuanzheng alone.

Miao Yuanzheng had never been able to report to the Great Virtuous Teacher.

Tonight, he would repay his kindness with his life.

On the other side.

Yu Jing was instead surprised and uncertain.

He stared at Miao Yuanzheng, as if wanting to determine whether Miao Yuanzheng was playing tricks.

After a long while, Yu Jing asked:

“What are you doing this for, coming to die like this?”

Miao Yuanzheng replied:

“Taiyang County, the Great Virtuous Teacher.”

Yu Jing was shocked when he heard this name.

Although he had lived in the mountains for a long time, he was not completely unaware of the outside world.

When he went out regularly to look for news of Miao Yuanzheng, when he occasionally went out to purchase supplies, or when he occasionally met woodcutters and hunters in the mountains, he would learn many things.

Now in Qing Province, this name could be said to be well-known.

Everyone knew that the Great Virtuous Teacher could cure diseases with talisman water, treat diseases for the people, and eliminate plagues.

Those who had the ability went to Taiyang County to seek help.

Those who had no ability also hoped that one day the Way of Peace could reach their area and send life-saving talisman water.

The Great Virtuous Teacher could be said to be a living immortal in everyone's mouth.

It was he who allowed the people of Qing Province, who had suffered from the plague, to see hope in despair.

“So it was him.”

“No wonder you are willing to sacrifice your life for him.”

“You hope that I will help the Great Virtuous Teacher. Could it be that he has encountered trouble?”

Yu Jing continued to ask.

Miao Yuanzheng did not hide anything and answered truthfully:

“The Yang family of Qing Province is trying to kill the Great Virtuous Teacher, monopolize the healing talisman water, and sell it at high prices to earn money.”

“The Great Virtuous Teacher's talisman water is given away for free, just so that poor people can also have talisman water to treat their illnesses.”

“So now the Great Virtuous Teacher and the Yang family have become mortal enemies, and the two sides have a deep feud, and I am afraid that they will never stop.”

“I don't want someone like the Great Virtuous Teacher to die in the hands of the Yang family, a group of greedy, ruthless, and reckless villains.”

Yu Jing was silent after listening.

He naturally knew about the Yang family.

Especially since the Yang family had great wealth and power in Qing Province, and their background was even more profound.

Being an enemy of the Yang family required great courage.

That Great Virtuous Teacher was really not afraid of death.

But this Miao Yuan, was also not afraid of death.

At this moment, Yu Jing believed that Miao Yuanzheng had really changed.

This made Yu Jing feel a trace of admiration in his heart.

Yu Jing himself was a person who valued righteousness.

But compared with Miao Yuanzheng at this time, he felt a little ashamed of himself.

The righteousness that Yu Jing valued was the loyalty between friends, it was small righteousness.

The righteousness that Miao Yuanzheng valued was for the Great Virtuous Teacher, and also for the thousands of poor people in the world who were suffering from the plague, which was indeed worthy of great righteousness.

But his revenge could not be left unavenged.

Immediately, Yu Jing cupped his fist at Miao Yuanzheng:

“Miao Yuanzheng, you really made me look at you with new eyes. I respect you as a man!”

“But my friend's revenge must be avenged!”

Miao Yuanzheng replied:

“I know, that's why I came.”

Yu Jing slowly drew out his long saber and pointed it at Miao Yuanzheng:

“But I will give the Great Virtuous Teacher some face, and also give your righteousness a bit of respect.”

“Now you are seventh-rank, and I am sixth-rank. My martial arts are much higher than yours. It would be too boring to kill you directly.”

“I will use all my strength for three moves, and you will also use all your strength to resist.”

“If you don't die after three moves, your grievances and mine will be written off.”

Yu Jing made the biggest concession.

He gave Miao Yuanzheng a chance of survival.

But only a line.

With his current martial arts, it was almost certain that he could kill Miao Yuanzheng within three moves.

He would never hold back.

Whether Miao Yuanzheng could get that chance of survival depended on fate.

But Miao Yuanzheng said:

“Three moves or thirty moves don't matter, I just want to know if your promise has changed?”

Yu Jing snorted coldly:

“You dare to look down on me?”

“I will do the matter of assisting the Great Virtuous Teacher, without you saying, I will do it myself.”

Miao Yuanzheng finally felt relieved.

He picked up the saber that was thrown at his feet, and then took out the elixir given to him by the Great Virtuous Teacher when he left.

“Yu Jing, you shouldn't have given me a chance to live.”

“Because once there is a chance to live, then for my young child, I will use all means and do everything.”

“Then your revenge will be impossible to avenge.”

“If you regret it now, it's still too late.”

Miao Yuanzheng replied in a deep voice.

Yu Jing was furious when he heard this:

“Dare to look down on me?”

“My word, Yu Jing, is as good as gold, why should I regret it!”

“Stop talking nonsense, take the move!”

After saying that, Yu Jing's knees bent slightly, and then he exerted force suddenly.

The whole person rushed towards Miao Yuanzheng fiercely like a cannonball.

Seeing this, Miao Yuanzheng swallowed the Fuhu Pill without hesitation.

A burst of internal force also burst out from the dantian.

He held the long saber, looked at Yu Jing, who was rushing like a tiger, and his face sank like water.

“Come on!!!”
