Chapter 3: The Ancestor Takes Action



The cells were not large, and each had only a narrow window for light.

The weather has been bad recently, with heavy rain for several days. It was evening now and you should not be able to see anything outside.

But Chen Kuang's gaze passed through the iron bars of the window and saw a starry sky...

A vast, clear, and dazzling starry sky!

Above the distant cloudless sky, there is a vast river of stars, and countless stars shine with extraordinary brilliance, like an extremely gorgeous brocade.

The colorful aurora appears and disappears, like a hazy veil thrown to the world.

The scene was so abnormal, so beautiful that it was even a little weird and scary.

Chen Kuang felt dizzy and dazed for a moment, and felt that he had difficulty breathing and even trembled all over.

Isn't it raining outside? The jailers are covered in thick moisture and cold.

Where's the rain? Where's the clouds?

Just a moment...

"It's the Saint! It's the Saint who took action!"

Excited voices came from a nearby cell.

A prisoner who was probably a Confucian scholar suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly at the strange scene outside the window.

"It must be the Liang State Patriarch who abdicated the throne to his younger brother six hundred years ago and then lived in seclusion!"

"Legend has it that he reached unparalleled cultivation and was close to sainthood. Turns out it's true!"

The Confucian prisoner cried and laughed:

"There's help! There's help!"

"Hahahaha, the Liang Kingdom shouldn't be destroyed! The kingdom can continue!"

The other prisoners were suddenly in an uproar, as if they had new hope, and they climbed up talking in unison.

"Is he really a saint?!"

"Indeed! This is the might of a saint! That day, when the Zhou State saint took action, this was the aura!"

The dead silent cell suddenly became lively even with the air inside.

"...Pressure from a Saint?"

Chen Kuang stared at the starry sky and repeated in his voice.

That dangerous and uncomfortable feeling that makes one's hair stand on end and heartbeat quicken, is this what is called coercion?

Some information emerged from my memory——

"Saint" is a title given to those immortal practitioners who have truly transcended the mundane world and are capable of moving mountains, filling the sea, calling the wind and rain... and doing everything.

There was also a glimmer of hope in Mrs. Liang's eyes.

She stood up and looked at the sky, clenched her fists, and muttered to herself.

"As long as we can hold back the Eastern Emperor, even with the support of the 50,000 Zhou troops, they will not be a match for the cultivators of the Daliang Spiritual Platform..."

She turned around and looked at Chen Kuang happily: "Mr. Chen, we are saved!"

“Boom—”

The second wave of loud noises came one after another, shaking the earth and causing chaos inside and outside the cell.

"Um……"

Chen Kuang took two steps back, lowered his head, and saw that a crack had appeared on the floor of the cell, extending all the way to the wall.

He couldn't help but be amazed.

It's really... quite exaggerated...

The battle between the practitioners was just the aftermath, but its power was as strong as an earthquake, comparable to a natural disaster!

This world is probably a little more dangerous than he imagined.

What I did just now was really asking for trouble.

In the world of high-level martial arts, perhaps even ordinary people are athletes.

Sure enough, I was still influenced by the inherent thinking of my previous life and was a bit impatient.

Chen Kuang slowly exhaled.

Speaking of which, after Huo Hengxuan saw his suicidal thoughts, he actually warned him. This doesn't fit his cruel and perverse personality, nicknamed "God of Killing"...

Wait...that's not right!

The scene just now flashed back.

He followed the other person's direction... and turned his head!

Damn, this old bitch is not reminding me, she is testing me!

Chen Kuang cursed in his heart and heard the old man's hoarse voice again.

"Haha, you can really see it."

Chen Kuang held his breath and restrained himself from looking back.

Huo Hengxuan grinned:

"Isn't it a bit late to continue pretending now?"

Chen Kuang: “…”

It's indeed late.

Chen Kuang simply turned his head and looked at Huo Hengxuan frankly, his eyes shining like stars without any disguise.

“…”

Huo Hengxuan anticipated how panicked and disfigured the other party would be after he exposed his true identity.

In his opinion, this man first pretended to be a blind musician and then deliberately approached Lady Liang. He must have had bad intentions.

Moreover, this person must have killed someone not long ago, the bloody smell on his body cannot be covered up...

In his opinion, there was no other person except a spy from the Zhou State.

But I didn’t expect Chen Kuang to just give in and stop pretending.

During the brief pause, Mrs. Liang also realized the meaning of Huo Hengxuan's two sentences.

Her originally happy expression froze and turned into nervousness, and she pursed her lips.

"Mr. Chen...all court musicians should be blind."

"Um."

"So you, you're not a musician?"

She actually wanted to ask if you were lying to me. If you were someone sent by Zhou State to approach her and trick her into believing something, then this steamed bun was indeed insignificant.

After the despair of national destruction, the only kindness received was actually fake...

She lowered her head, feeling a little lost.

"I am."

Chen Kuang had a headache.

He really isn't suited to acting...

Chen Kuang whispered:

"I was blinded by my parents when I was young. At six, I was sold to a musician as an apprentice. At sixteen, I entered the palace. It has been three years now. From the beginning to the end, I have been a citizen of Liang. This is absolutely true."

Huo Hengxuan sneered sarcastically:

"So this is what it means to lie with your eyes open."

"I didn't know there was a way to restore sight to the blind."

Chen Kuang was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"The living and the dead, the flesh and bones, aren't there? General Huo."
