Chapter 226

He suspected that Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao were acting, deliberately showing such brotherly love to make him soften his heart and let them go.

Once these words were spoken, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao did not hesitate in the slightest; they both raised their palms, Haoran Righteous Qi erupted, and they struck directly toward their own foreheads.

This palm strike had no hesitation, no mercy, was decisive and unstoppable, as if it could shatter a mountain.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhangsheng was finally moved, realizing that Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao were indeed deeply brotherly and were not acting.

But he still did not take action, because he could not guarantee that his own expression just now had no flaws and whether they would notice anything.

Bang! Bang!

Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao both struck themselves dead with one palm.

"This... this..."

"The two masters Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao... sigh!"

"This matter... True Person Li is too heartless!"

"..."

The scholars of the Imperial Academy did not expect that the two masters Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao had really committed suicide.

They wanted to blame Li Zhangsheng, but logically speaking, Li Zhangsheng was not wrong; he was just repaying resentment with uprightness.

After all, who told the two masters Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao to prepare to take action against Li Zhangsheng.

But if they didn't blame Li Zhangsheng, it seemed they couldn't get past that hurdle in their hearts.

In the end, they could only mutter to themselves, complaining of Li Zhangsheng's heartlessness.

"Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao! If you don't wake up now, when will you?!"

However, at this moment, Li Zhangsheng tapped the space between the eyebrows of the two Chengs.

Using his spiritual sense as a guide, he used the two great techniques, the *Supreme Heavenly Demon Dao* and the *Six Paths of Reincarnation: Hell Path*, to create the illusion of the two masters Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao committing suicide. Not only did the scholars of the Imperial Academy believe it to be true, but even Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao themselves had not discovered any clues.

Now, Li Zhangsheng withdrew his spiritual sense, and the *Supreme Heavenly Demon Dao* and the *Six Paths of Reincarnation: Hell Path* dissipated one after another.

"This is... this old man just now..."

Cheng Yi looked around blankly, his brows tightly furrowed, as if recalling what had just happened.

"Didn't this old man commit suicide?! How come..."

Cheng Hao was extremely surprised; he remembered clearly that he had chosen to commit suicide just now, so how could he... be perfectly fine now?!

"Alright!"

"From now on, the karma between you and me is settled!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

"May I ask True Person Li, have you... comprehended something from the Haoran Righteous Qi just now?!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng about to leave, Cheng Yi could not care about thinking about what had just happened, and hurriedly spoke to stop him, asking the doubt in his heart.

"Oh?!"

"How did you know I had gained some comprehension?!"

Li Zhangsheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Cheng Yi was so sharp.

"Hmm?! Elder Brother, you mean True Person Li... not only comprehended the Haoran Righteous Qi, but also had other... comprehensions?!"

Cheng Hao was stunned upon hearing this and asked incredulously.

"I don't know what True Person Li comprehended! I just had a guess."

"Originally, I just wanted to ask and see, but I didn't expect that True Person Li really had other comprehensions."

Cheng Yi was also very surprised in his heart; he had just asked casually, but he didn't expect... it was actually true.

"Because True Person Li's Haoran Righteous Qi was too magnificent, too grand!"

"I'm not afraid of True Person Li laughing! Just the Haoran Righteous Qi that True Person Li comprehended is fully a hundred, or even a thousand times that of this old man!"

"Therefore, this old man dared to guess that the Haoran Righteous Qi True Person Li comprehended is not simple, and perhaps there is something else... something this old man cannot see through?!"

"Otherwise, how could there be such a vast, magnificent... Haoran Righteous Qi that covered the entire Lin'an City?!"

Cheng Yi spoke heavily, stating his thoughts.

"So that's how it is!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded slightly, indicating he understood, and then said lightly, "It's nothing else! It's just that I comprehended a cultivation system related to Confucianism."

"So it was just a cultivation... wait!"

Cheng Yi echoed, but suddenly, his whole body shook, and his voice involuntarily rose,

"Wh... what?! A cultivation system related to Confucianism?!"

"True Person Li! Is... is what you said true?!"

Cheng Hao was also shaken and asked incredulously.

"Hmm? Of course it's true."

"Isn't it just a new cultivation system?!"

"What's the big deal?!"

"Would I lie to you?!"

Li Zhangsheng looked at Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, extremely surprised, not understanding why they were so excited.

You have to know, he had created the immortal cultivation method, created the array path, created the elixir path, created the puppet technique. He even turned the tribulation of heaven and earth into heavenly punishment... all sorts of things, Li Zhangsheng had done too much!

Compared to that, what did a cultivation system related to Confucianism count for?!

"True Person Li... actually created a new cultivation system for Confucianism?! Hiss!"

"If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't believe it! But if it's True Person Li... I have to believe it!"

"That's right! True Person Li first created the three realms of immortal cultivation, then turned the tribulation of heaven and earth into heavenly punishment, and even became the Lord of Heavenly Punishment... if he were to create another cultivation system belonging to Confucianism, it's not very likely! It's absolutely true!"

"..."

The scholars of the Imperial Academy were all shaken as well.

At first, they were also a bit skeptical, but thinking of the various great feats Li Zhangsheng had made before, it seemed... they had to believe it!

"Worthy of being True Person Li!"

"Wang Xianzhi said, 'If Heaven had not given birth to True Person Li, the martial arts world would have been like a long night for eternity!' This old man originally thought it was a bit of an exaggeration! Who would have thought, I actually underestimated True Person Li!"

"If Heaven had not given birth to True Person Li, it's not just the martial arts world that would have been like a long night for eternity! The immortal path and the Confucian path are also... like a long night for eternity!"

Cheng Hao gasped, exclaimed in surprise, shocked beyond measure, and then sighed with great emotion.

If it were before, he absolutely could not have said such words, but when Cheng Hao let go of his prejudice, he had to admit that Li Zhangsheng indeed fit these evaluations!

If even Li Zhangsheng didn't fit, I'm afraid no one in the world could fit.

"True Person Li! This old man... has an uninvited request."

At this moment, Cheng Yi, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly with firm eyes.

"Oh?! Since..."

Li Zhangsheng was startled, wanting to say that since it was an uninvited request, then there was no need to say it.

But before he could finish, Cheng Yi had already stated his uninvited request. With a thud, he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing three times and nine times to Li Zhangsheng, "I wish to honor the True Person as my master!"

Seeing this, Cheng Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, subconsciously knelt down, kowtowed three times and nine times, and called out, "I wish to honor the True Person as my master!"
