Chapter 184 The Male Supporting Character Who Avenged His Mistakes (12)
From the moment she was beheaded during the day until Ren Yueying fainted, only a few breaths had passed.
Everything happened too fast.
It happened so fast that before anyone could react, the outcome was already decided.
In the crowd.
Someone stood up and shouted angrily, "Ren Changqing! Your duel with Bai Tianyi is scheduled for tomorrow, and you've disregarded the rules and attacked prematurely! This doesn't count as a win!"
Changqing looked over.
The speaker was an elderly man dressed in Taiyi Sect attire.
He smiled and said, "Then I admit defeat."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Everyone is dead.
What's the point of winning or losing?
Many people's gazes toward Changqing changed; this little devil's actions were unpredictable, and he was truly not simple.
We can't afford to mess with them.
We can't afford to mess with them.
The old man was about to say something more when another old man in a gray robe, Qiao Zhonggong, tugged at his sleeve, stopping him from continuing.
Qiao Zhonggong's expression was complex.
He attended the funeral of Mrs. Day.
I'm here to support Bai Tianyi this time.
But at this moment, he knew perfectly well that his few men were no match for the enemy's sword. It was best not to step forward. If he angered the enemy and they stormed the Zhengyi Sect, who could stop them except for the sect's patriarch?
Isn't this embarrassing?
The Demon Child has already established himself; his Grandmaster-level strength is at the level of founding a sect, making him someone that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Zheng Yimen has fallen silent.
The others naturally fell silent as well.
Chang Qing smiled faintly and looked at Zhuo Shaohang, who was still in a daze.
"We have no enmity with each other. Since the outcome has been decided, there is no need to fight to the death. Let's call it quits."
After saying that, he waved his sleeve and left.
Zhuo Shaohang's eyes were bloodshot.
My mind is a complete mess.
We have no enmity with each other?
He hadn't sorted out the relationships at all. If Ren Yueying was his mother, then who was his father? Was it Bai Tianyi? He had originally suspected that Bai Tianyi was his father, but now that his mother had appeared first, and with a special identity as the acting leader of the Demonic Sect, it seemed unlikely that Bai Tianyi would have much contact with her. Therefore, his father must be someone else.
Countless questions swirled in my mind.
But now that Ren Yueying has fainted, he has no way to ask her anything.
Almost numbly, he picked up Ren Yueying and walked off the stage.
On the other side of the Demonic Cult.
Changqing noticed it, and so did everyone else, but surprisingly, no one intervened.
"Grandpa, Master, shall we go back too? My father's revenge has been avenged, and I can finally rest easy."
Changqing said calmly.
The two elders exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.
A group of people left looking fresh and clean.
The others, having enjoyed a strange and unexpected piece of gossip, were quite satisfied, and continued to speculate even after the main parties involved had left.
The most surprised person was naturally Ren Changqing, who was surprised that the little devil had reached the Grandmaster realm at such a young age.
This surpasses the achievements of the former leader of the Demonic Sect!
Even the legendary Sword God only broke through to Grandmaster around the age of thirty. What does this mean? Could it be that the demon brat's talent is even higher than the Sword God's?
Many people are worried that the evil cult is about to rise again.
“I don’t think there’s any need to worry so much. That little devil is better than Old Devil Ren was back then,” someone suddenly said.
Everyone immediately looked over, and it was an old man who was speaking.
"What do you mean by that, Master Wu?" Someone recognized that the speaker was Master Wu of the Tiansheng Business Alliance and immediately asked curiously.
The Tiansheng Business Alliance has a large business and is respected by both the righteous and demonic factions. Old Master Wu is an upright person who keeps his word and his words carry weight.
Everyone turned to look.
Old Master Wu cleared his throat. "I am a few years older than you, and I still remember the first time the previous Demon Lord of the Demonic Sect came down the mountain. It caused a bloodbath in the martial arts world, with countless deaths and injuries. This young man has made quite a stir this time, but only one person has actually died!"
"I heard he challenged various sects. Did any of you suffer any casualties?" Old Master Wu asked, looking at the people from the sects beside him.
The group was taken aback for a moment, then shook their heads with wry smiles.
That kid was already a Grandmaster, yet he challenged the younger generation. Many people were unconvinced when he lost, but now that I think about it, he not only showed mercy, he practically let the world go.
"This is it!"
Old Master Wu clapped his hands and said, “I don’t think this person is a bloodthirsty person. Even if this boy takes control of the Demonic Sect, he will at most maintain the status quo. It is unlikely that he will stir up the martial world and cause a great massacre.”
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
The topic quickly shifted to Ren Yueying and Zhuo Shaohang.
Some speculate that Ren Yueying fell in love with a young man surnamed Zhuo, and the two secretly had a child. However, they were forced to separate, which led to the current separation of mother and child.
Some people have also noticed the resemblance between Zhuo Shaohang and Bai Tianyi, speculating that the two may be related.
Some even say that Zhuo Shaohang was originally Ren Yueying's biological son, while the little devil Ren was the son of Ren Yueying's maid, creating a dramatic story of a real and fake young master.
People speculated and made all sorts of conjectures, but naturally there was no definite conclusion.
News of what happened that day quickly spread throughout the martial arts world.
The gossip instincts of countless people were ignited.
This kept the buzz going for a long time.
Many people are paying attention to the responses from both sides.
soon.
News has come from the Demonic Sect, but it's not a response to the gossip everyone's been asking about; rather, it's the news of a new leader taking over.
This was expected by everyone.
The little devil is already a Grandmaster at such a young age; it would be unreasonable for him not to become the sect leader.
However, the righteous factions naturally wouldn't offer their congratulations.
Changqing naturally didn't care.
He didn't have any grand ambitions to unify the martial arts world. After quietly announcing his appointment, everything remained the same.
On the other hand...
Ren Yueying was completely stunned when she heard the news.
"Shaohang!"
She grabbed Zhuo Shaohang's hand with a ferocious expression.
"That Ren Changqing killed your father! He even took away my position in the sect! You, you must kill him to avenge my parents!!"
Zhuo Shaohang's eyes were also slightly red.
"Mother, I know," he said in a hoarse voice, clenching his fists.
"You, you go practice your skills!" Ren Yueying suddenly urged, remembering something.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a person walked in from outside.
"Junior brother, Master requests your presence."
The newcomer was a man in his forties, the chief disciple of the Sword God, and also Zhuo Shaohang's senior brother.
"I see."
Zhuo Shaohang nodded and soon left with him.
The two arrived at a large hall.
Zhuo Shaohang bowed to an old man with three long tufts of beard, saying, "Shaohang greets Master." This man was none other than Zhuo Bufan, the renowned swordsman.
At this moment, Zhuo Bufan's gaze sharpened as he swept over his most beloved disciple.
"Shaohang, stay away from your mother. I have no righteous or demonic thoughts in my heart. I often say that the so-called righteous and demonic are in people's hearts, but your mother is possessed by demons. Being with her will do you no good." He said directly.
Zhuo Shaohang was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fist tightly.
“Master, that’s my own mother!” he said through gritted teeth.
He paused, then added, "Moreover, how can one not avenge the murder of one's father?"
"Junior brother, you mustn't be rude!" The senior brother couldn't help but shout.
"I'm stating the facts! Senior Brother, if you were me, would you still be so calm?" Zhuo Shaohang turned around and said angrily.
The eldest brother was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan sighed in disappointment.
"Shaohang, go downstairs and calm down first."
Zhuo Shaohang retorted, "I will never forget the hatred for my father's murder!"
To be honest, he couldn't say he had any deep feelings for Bai Tianyi, but he felt a deep hatred for Ren Changqing when he thought of him. This hatred stemmed not only from Bai Tianyi's death but also from his anger at suffering such a great loss on his first time leaving the mountain.
Why should I?
He should have made a name for himself, but instead, he became a laughing stock.
Now, when people in the martial arts world mention him as the disciple of the Sword God, they think of him as a loser. He suffered a setback as soon as he left the mountain, was defeated in front of so many people, and made others famous.
Therefore, this revenge must be taken!
He stormed out, practically slamming the door in a fit of rage.
Behind him, Zhuo Bufan frowned, and the eldest disciple quickly smiled apologetically, "Master, our junior brother is still too young..."
Zhuo Bufan waved his hand helplessly.
Let him be.
