Chapter 185 The Male Supporting Character Who Avenged His Mistakes (13)
"So, Ren Yueying took Zhuo Shaohang to live in Mugui Valley? To supervise his training every day so she can take revenge on me?"
Upon hearing this, Changqing almost burst out laughing.
The young man opposite him nodded and smiled.
"This is no lie. It is said that the mother and son had a rather unpleasant argument with Sword God Zhuo Bufan when they left. Although Zhuo Bufan did not say that he would expel Zhuo Shaohang from the sect, he did say that he would not involve him in his personal affairs."
Changqing nodded.
This is a very wise approach.
However, Ren Yueying's tendency to push her child to excel hasn't changed. Perhaps it's just her nature. The original owner suffered terribly under her care, and now Zhuo Shaohang will have to experience it for himself.
That's interesting.
After returning to his courtyard, he had the system project a picture of Zhuo Shaohang practicing martial arts.
He shook his head at the sight.
Zhuo Shaohang's sword moves were filled with killing intent, but he was also extremely agitated, far from the demeanor of the Sword God's successor in the story. Moreover, his expression had lost its composure, and his eyes were filled with ferocity and rage.
"If you keep training like this, you'll probably never have a chance in your entire life."
He muttered something to himself and lay down.
Returning to the valley at dusk.
After completing a set of sword moves, Zhuo Shaohang was covered in sweat and panting heavily.
He felt very bad.
After leaving his master, he returned to his birthplace, but his practice not only failed to make any progress, but he also became restless and irritable, with throbbing pains in his temples.
tired!
I'm so tired!
But her mother was not understanding and kept urging him on.
He wanted to stop, but Ren Yueying had already appeared behind him without him noticing.
"Zhuo Shaohang! Ren Changqing is a Grandmaster, and now several months have passed, yet your skills have regressed instead of improved. Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhuo Shaohang: "I, I..."
He had no idea what was going on. He used to practice very quickly, but somehow a few months passed and his talent disappeared.
Ren Yueying frowned. "Don't you want revenge at all? Are you blaming your father and me for not raising you? I've told you, you were kidnapped by thieves when you were little..."
As she spoke, Ren Yueying's eyes also reddened.
Zhuo Shaohang was extremely annoyed. "Mother, can you please stop saying these things while I'm practicing martial arts? Why don't I want revenge? And I've never blamed you."
"Then why haven't you made any progress in months?"
Zhuo Shaohang was speechless. "My master never said that when he taught me martial arts."
Ren Yueying's tone sharpened, "You still mention your master? He even told you not to get close to your mother!"
"Alright, alright, I'll continue practicing. Stop talking."
Zhuo Shaohang didn't want to continue the conversation.
Ren Yueying persisted, "Do you find your mother annoying? Ren Changqing was like this before! You're all the same, ungrateful wretches!"
For a moment, Zhuo Shaohang couldn't help but admire Ren Changqing.
He was able to live with such a mother for decades and even made rapid progress in his cultivation.
No!
What he can do, I can definitely do too!
Zhuo Shaohang gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind.
He wants to break through, to take revenge, and to get back everything he has lost!
Practice your skills!
Keep practicing!
However, even Zhuo Shaohang himself did not expect that the more anxious he was to practice, the less effective it would be. For the next six months, he was exhausted and even injured. But Ren Yueying did not understand at all and would often compare him with Ren Changqing.
This was unbearable for him.
"Yes, yes! Your son is perfect in every way! Then what are you doing here? Go enjoy yourself in the Demonic Sect and continue being your acting leader!"
One day, he finally couldn't hold back and started to argue.
After all, he was no longer a child at this point. He hadn't been disciplined by Ren Yueying since childhood, and even if he had filial piety, it had been almost completely worn away in the past six months.
Ren Yueying's tears fell in a downpour.
"Me? Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for your own good!"
Zhuo Shaohang was tired of hearing this.
"Don't say such things! I don't need your help! You come from a demonic sect, while I belong to the righteous path! We've never been on the same path!"
“I will avenge myself! If you want to avenge Bai Tianyi, you can go now. By the way, why don’t you go? You also know martial arts, and you are a first-rate master. Moreover, you are acquainted with Ren Changqing. You have a great chance of success, right?”
Suddenly, Zhuo Shaohang thought of something, stared at Ren Yueying, and questioned her.
Ren Yueying was taken aback; why did those words sound so familiar?
It took her a while to remember that Changqing had said the same thing to her, and she became even angrier.
"Zhuo Shaohang! You won't listen to me, will you? You, you—"
Zhuo Shaohang turned and left.
He has lost patience.
"Stop right there!"
Ren Yueying screamed and stood in front of him; she couldn't lose this son.
"I'm going to practice my martial arts, don't stop me!"
Zhuo Shaohang shoved Ren Yueying away and walked away without looking back. Behind him, Ren Yueying stood there, stunned and distraught.
Things didn't go as she expected.
However, things did not develop as Zhuo Shaohang had anticipated.
The more he wanted to break through, the more...
The more difficult it is, the harder it becomes.
He even nearly went mad several times.
This made him very frustrated.
Ren Yueying offered no comfort whatsoever; she was like a madwoman, wanting to control him while simultaneously harboring deep resentment towards him.
Zhuo Shaohang gradually felt a sense of despair.
what to do?
He even gradually lost his self-confidence.
How can I take revenge or clear my name if things continue like this?
He couldn't help but keep an eye on Changqing's movements.
The more I learned, the more desperate I felt.
After his father's killer succeeded as the leader of the Demonic Sect, he kept a very low profile and rarely appeared in the martial arts world. All affairs of the Demonic Sect continued as usual, and no major battle between the righteous and the demonic forces was launched. Everything was as peaceful as before.
A cult leader who dislikes killing!
This contrast in his identity actually made him very popular in the martial arts world.
A young grandmaster who wields power in the demonic sect, he has only killed one person since his debut—his father's murderer—and otherwise keeps an incredibly low profile.
Young people in the martial arts world actually idolize him, and many take pride in imitating his style!
Zhuo Shaohang nearly vomited blood upon learning this.
"Shameless! Utterly shameless!"
He couldn't help but curse.
Only he knew how wicked and how good at pretending Ren Changqing was!
He couldn't help but jump out and accuse, "You are all righteous people, don't you feel ashamed to worship a villain from a demonic cult?"
But all he got in return was a sneer.
"What villain? You're just jealous, aren't you? Come on, tell me, what evil deeds has he done since his debut?"
"That's a Grandmaster! Putting everything else aside, Zhuo Shaohang, when you fought in the arena that day, wasn't it easy for him to kill you? He spared your life, and now you're slandering him?"
"The Demon Who Doesn't Kill—this isn't just a random title. He has less blood on his hands than countless righteous people. Isn't that a fact?"
Everyone chimed in with their own words, making Zhuo Shaohang's blood boil.
That's all an act!
These people are complete idiots; they've all gone mad!
His eyes were bloodshot, and his blood was churning.
"Die! All of you, die!"
Suddenly, he let out a heart-wrenching roar, and attacked, killing several people in succession.
Inside the restaurant.
Screams erupted as countless people scrambled to escape for their lives.
It wasn't until the scene was completely empty that Zhuo Shaohang came to his senses.
"What...what have I done?"
He looked at his blood-stained hands and collapsed to the ground.
......
The Sword God's disciple has fallen into demonic possession!
The news quickly spread throughout the martial arts world.
The system immediately informed Changqing of the message.
At this moment, Changqing was lying in a small courtyard filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. On the stone table next to the recliner, there were various fruits. Upon hearing this, he simply reached out, picked a fresh grape, and popped it into his mouth.
"So, Zhuo Shaohang was killed?" he asked casually.
"No," the system replied. "He lost an arm to the Sword God and was taken away. The Sword God promised the martial world that he would never be allowed to appear again."
Changqing: ......
Sure enough, this is the advantage of having connections.
Zhuo Bufan treated Zhuo Shaohang like his own son, raising him from a young age, and in a critical moment, he saved him.
"Where is my dear mother?" Changqing asked again.
“She’s gone mad.” The system chuckled. “She didn’t want her son to be taken away, but this time, the Sword God didn’t care about her identity and attacked directly, seriously injuring her and forcibly taking Zhuo Shaohang away. Now, your good mother is acting like she’s gone crazy.”
Changqing: ......
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, a few days later, Ren Yueying arrived at the Demonic Sect with disheveled hair. She demanded that Changqing lead men to attack Sword God Mountain and take back her son.
"Ren Changqing, you are also my son, you must help me! Otherwise, I will die in front of you!"
Ren Yueying looked crazed, holding a short knife to her own neck.
All the elders looked at Changqing with sympathy; it must be really tough for him to have such a mother.
In response to this.
Changqing remained unmoved. He waved his hand, and five or six burly men entered, carrying a golden coffin.
“Mother, if you want to commit suicide, you can start now. I have prepared to give you a grand burial, which will settle our mother-son relationship. By the way, I will inform Zhuo Shaohang. Whether he comes or not is up to him.”
Ren Yueying's hand trembled uncontrollably, but she couldn't bring herself to stab him.
Changqing sneered and stood up. "Looks like you're not so crazy after all. Please, you should go to Sword God Mountain yourself to find your son!"
Ren Yueying practically fled in panic.
Changqing stopped paying attention.
Later, the system said that Ren Yueying seemed to have really gone mad, and Changqing stopped paying attention to her.
A few more years passed.
He heard that a new female villain had appeared in the martial arts world, who specialized in kidnapping other people's children, raising them as her own sons for a few days, and then killing them.
After the matter escalated.
Then someone organized and plotted to ambush and kill that villain.
A few days later.
A senior from the righteous path came to visit and solemnly carried Ren Yueying's body.
The visitors were several old men from major sects, almost resigned to their fate. They never expected that the person was actually the mother of the Demonic Sect leader. Therefore, in order not to implicate their sects, they came to confess their crimes and submit to execution.
“Send her to Sword God Mountain; her son is there.”
Changqing didn't get angry, nor did he kill anyone. He didn't even say any polite words; he simply had his men carry him away.
The old men, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, hurriedly left.
Changqing heard that the Sword God was quite understanding and allowed Zhuo Shaohang to hold a funeral for Ren Yueying. However, the scene was very quiet, and almost no one came to pay their respects.
After that, Changqing never heard anything more from the system.
In this life, he led the Demonic Sect for many years, mostly through laissez-faire governance. The martial world remained the same, and the grudges and feuds continued unabated. However, there were no major battles between the righteous and demonic factions, and he did not take action again.
When he passed away at an advanced age, many righteous people from the righteous path came to pay their respects.
This legendary leader of the demonic cult only killed one person in his entire life.
