He glanced at Chen Wuliang and said leisurely, "Chen Zhengyi is doomed to die. If things really come to a head, the Ningxin Pill will be gone."
"Wait a minute." Chen Wuliang raised his head: "Two years."
"Two years it is." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and nodded heavily.
"Deal." Chen Wuliang had a tense expression, but in fact he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He definitely can't beat me now.
He had already wasted a lot of his cultivation time dealing with family matters, and he really didn't have much energy to waste here.
As for Xuan Yang Sect sending more experts to fight, that's impossible. After all, these are Chen family's private matters, so why should others help them?
Moreover, the Xuan Yang Sect's all-out support for the Chen family over the years has already aroused dissatisfaction among many elders.
Everyone has descendants in the secular world. Why is it that other people's descendants are ordinary people, while the Chen family can become a reclusive family?
The whole thing is a lose-lose situation. Anyway, Chen Zhengyi is already disgraced and will never be able to return to the Chen family. Moreover, Ye Xingchen has shown enough sincerity. This farce should come to an end.
"Elder Chen is a man of great wisdom and integrity, I admire him greatly." Ye Xingchen clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Kid, this is a deal, but if you ever clash with the Chen family again, don't blame me for being impolite," Chen Wuliang snorted.
"Don't worry, Elder Chen. As long as the Chen family doesn't cause me trouble, I won't bother with a reclusive family." Ye Xingchen nodded.
“That’s for the best.” Chen Wuliang nodded slowly. “You may go now. If there’s nothing else, I should return to my sect. Chen Zhengyi, you can do as you please.”
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded, turned around and left with Si Qianyu.
After Ye Xingchen left, Chen Wanning shakily rushed over from the side.
The Chen family manor had long since been reduced to ruins. This guy only escaped the ravages by hiding in the basement, but he looked completely covered in dust and dirt.
"Father...do we really have to sacrifice justice?" Chen Wanning's voice trembled slightly.
“Why keep such a useless person around?” Chen Wuliang snorted, his tone icy: “Murder and robbery are things that can be done once they’ve been done, but we shouldn’t let anyone have any evidence against him.”
"Even if we save him now, do you think he can still return to the Chen family as the head of the family?"
“No… but, but he’s my son, your grandson.” Chen Wanning looked somewhat bewildered.
"Then isn't Chen Zhengye your son or your grandson?" Chen Wuliang raised his eyes and stared at Chen Wanning: "Those who achieve great things must have the will to make timely decisions."
"Hesitation will only lead to missed opportunities."
"Father." Chen Wanning still wanted to try.
"What else do you want to say?" Chen Wuliang's eyes were filled with a strange light, and he was already impatient: "The Chen family has been in your hands for decades. What is it that I still need to step in to solve?"
“In the Xuan Yang Sect, I have to scheme against those old guys every day. It’s not as easy as you imagine.”
"I have a chance to become a saint, and you want me to give it up to save your good-for-nothing son?"
Chen Wanning dared not speak. He could only bow his head, his expression bitter: "Yes, I will obey Father's will in everything."
"Alright, go back now." Chen Wuliang waved his hand. "I should also return to Xuan Yang Sect. In the future, it's best to handle things on your own and not bother me anymore."
"Understood." Chen Wanning bowed, not daring to say another word.
In the darkness of night, Su Ruochu arrived at the foot of a mountain, a hundred kilometers away from Yanjing.
The mountain road was rugged and pitch black.
However, Su Ruochu moved swiftly and was completely unaffected.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked up. She saw a figure slowly appearing in the darkness.
This man was Zhou Li. He said calmly, "This road is blocked. Miss, you should take another route."
"I'm almost there, less than five kilometers from here. Changing our route will probably take longer," Su Ruochu said with a slight smile.
“That won’t work either. My master’s task for me is to guard this place, and no one is allowed to pass through here.” Zhou Li shook his head.
“I must pass through here today,” Su Ruochu said. “You have committed evil deeds in three lifetimes, so you were born like a demon in this life.”
"I hope you will face the consequences of your karma and never create more bad karma, otherwise you will surely fall into an abyss of no return."
"Heh, I've really committed quite a few sins in my life." Zhou Li thought for a moment, then sneered, "But so what? I'll walk my own path, do my own evil deeds, who can do anything to me?"
“Stubborn to the end.” Su Ruochu slowly shook her head: “He deserves to be executed.”
"Whether you can kill me or not depends on whether you have the strength," Zhou Li grinned.
He stared at Su Ruochu and took a deep breath.
Then he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a sharp scream.
At the same time, fine scales suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his cloudy eyes turned yellowish-green again.
His physical form was already evident; he was a freak, abandoned by his family after birth.
In Buddhism, this state is seen as the result of evil karma accumulated over three lifetimes.
After Zhou Li's form changed, he stretched out his right hand, and his palm became larger. His thick fingers were also covered with bluish-green scales, just like bronze.
At the same time, his movements became incredibly agile. He leaped up and attacked Su Ruochu.
Su Ruochu stepped back, her figure as elusive as a falling leaf.
No matter how fierce Zhou Li's attacks were, they couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
Zhou Li unleashed his full power, pushing his strength to its limit. His figure became almost a blur, like a hurricane.
However, Su Ruochu strolled leisurely amidst his extremely fast movements, and no matter how fast Zhou Li was, he could never touch the hem of her clothes.
Suddenly he let out a scream and his figure vanished into the night sky.
Su Ruochu stopped and stared intently ahead.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the darkness. She tilted her head to dodge the attack and then returned the blow with a palm strike.
The Buddhist palm strike instantly revealed Zhou Li's concealed form, followed by another barrage of attacks from Zhou Li like a storm.
Su Ruochu leaped up, clasped her hands together, and changed her hand seals continuously while slowly uttering the Zen mantra.
A golden bell suddenly appeared, enveloping Zhou Li within it.
In the night sky, the golden bell emitted a blazing light that burned all over Zhou Li's body.
Zhou Li let out a hysterical scream, covered his eyes, and knelt down on the ground in agony.
He also tried to break through the bell, but no matter which direction he tried, he was bounced back heavily.
The golden bell slowly began to spin, and Su Ruochu landed on the ground. She clasped her hands together and looked at Zhou Li, who was wailing and screaming in agony, with pity.
"What can you do even if you kill me?" Even though he was covered in wounds from the Buddha's light, Zhou Li still screamed and laughed bitterly: "The people I killed are already dead, they can't come back."
"You should have come sooner to kill me. If you had come sooner, you might have saved a few lives, hahaha..."
The pity in Su Ruochu's eyes vanished, replaced by a cold glint. She slowly clasped her hands together and murmured, "Conceal evil and promote good, follow the will of Heaven to prolong life!"
