Chapter 1119: The Karma of the Junzi Sect

Upon hearing Sun Wan's words, Wang Jianqiang's expression had completely frozen.

Damn it~

How could there be someone so shameless in this world?

A Demonic Sect that commits all manner of evil, actually daring to call itself the Junzi Sect?

Isn't this tarnishing the very three characters of the Junzi Sect?

Sensing the increasingly intense look of vigilance in Sun Wan's eyes, he remained silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "Senior, you have misunderstood. The Junzi Sect you speak of is not the Junzi Sect that I, Ye, come from."

"The Junzi Sect I, Ye, come from is also a hidden sect, but its influence is not strong, and it is not famous in Youzhou."

"However, the conduct of the Junzi Sect I, Ye, come from is diametrically opposed to the Demonic Sect Junzi Sect you mentioned."

"In the Junzi Sect I, Ye, come from, the first thing a Disciple must learn after Entry is not cultivation techniques or power, but the way of being a person, the Way of the Gentleman, and the Way of Kindness."

Sun Wan was startled; she did not immediately believe Wang Jianqiang's words, her expression somewhat skeptical.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a bitter smile, "Senior, I, Ye, have only been cultivating for a mere three hundred years or so."

"And as you just said, the Demonic Sect Junzi Sect was destroyed five hundred years ago."

"How could I possibly be a remnant of the Demonic Sect Junzi Sect? The timeline simply doesn't add up."

Having said this, he deliberately released a wisp of Soul aura, allowing Sun Wan to perceive his soul age.

Sun Wan half-believingly sensed Wang Jianqiang's soul age.

She was immediately startled.

It really was around three hundred years!

In that case, this person indeed could not be a remnant of the Demonic Sect Junzi Sect.

Immediately following this, she seemed to have thought of something.

When she looked at Wang Jianqiang, a look of shock appeared on her face once more.

"You have only cultivated for three hundred years, yet you have reached the cultivation of Level 8 Artistic Conception?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a chuckle, "Just a stroke of luck."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's understated response, Sun Wan could not recover for a long time.

Luck?

To cultivate to Spirit Transformation Stage Perfection in a mere three hundred years, and even more, to have cultivated Intent Power to Level 8.

This speed is simply unheard of!

It is certainly not something that can be explained by a single word like 'luck'.

Even if this person possesses great opportunities, his own talent must be incredibly astonishing.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to have such an astonishing cultivation speed.

After a good while, Sun Wan gradually returned to calm.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang with a complex expression, and after a moment of silence, she said, "What about the obstacle you mentioned earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang sighed, "Senior, I, the junior, have already said that to enter my Junzi Sect, one must perform the deeds of a gentleman."

"This is not a constraint that exists only in words, but one for which a Heart Demon Oath has truly been sworn."

"A gentleman does not commit evil, but he also must not intervene in the Karma of others without cause."

"As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

"This means that disciples of my Junzi Sect are not permitted to participate in the affairs of others without cause, thereby bringing trouble upon themselves."

"Once violated, at best, one will be plagued by an Inner Demon and find it difficult to advance in cultivation; at worst, a Heart Demon Tribulation will descend, and one will perish in the Tribulation, their Soul scattered."

Sun Wan was startled.

She was very intelligent, and after a brief moment of contemplation, she thought of the deeper meaning in Wang Jianqiang's words.

"You mean, you cannot help me without cause?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Sun Wan pondered for a moment, then said tentatively, "Then what if I can pay you a reward?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang immediately laughed, "Fairy is indeed intelligent; this can indeed perfectly circumvent the sect rules of the Junzi Sect."

Sun Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "That makes things easier. How much of a reward do you want? I will certainly do everything in my power to gather it for you."

Wang Jianqiang sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Senior, you have misunderstood."

"This so-called reward is not something that can be chosen at will."

"All things in heaven and earth are governed by Karma; a gentleman must follow the changes of heaven and earth and follow the Way of Cause and Effect."

"The so-called reward must also follow the Way of Cause and Effect."

Upon hearing this, a flash of confusion crossed Sun Wan's face, "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior helping me and my few friends with a kind heart on the battlefield is the cause, and I, Ye, wanting to repay the kindness by helping Senior is the effect."

"Senior mentioning a reward to resolve my, the junior's, dilemma is the cause, and the first thought that arises in my, the junior's, heart is the effect."

"Only a true effect can resolve my, the junior's, dilemma."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wan was thoughtful, "In other words, I must act according to your thoughts in order to resolve the Karma, and to let you not worry about the rules of the Junzi Sect?"

"Senior is wise, I, the junior, admire you." Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

Sun Wan pursed her lips and said softly, "Then can you tell me what your thoughts are? That way, I can prescribe the right medicine for the illness."

Upon hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face, "This..."

Sun Wan was startled, "Why, is there something difficult about it?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It's not exactly difficult, it's just... I'm afraid of offending Senior..."

Sun Wan was stunned, then she laughed, "You are also trying to help me, how could you offend me?"

"Speak freely."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression relaxed, "Since that is the case, then this junior will speak the truth."

"This junior wants to (two words omitted here)."

As the last two words from Wang Jianqiang were uttered, Sun Wan was suddenly stunned.

She seemed unable to believe that such shocking and outrageous words could come out of Wang Jianqiang's mouth.

After being dazed for a good while, she finally came back to her senses and said somewhat stutteringly, "You~ you said what?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang honestly said it again, full of vigor, "I said, I want to (two words omitted here)."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's confirmation once more, Sun Wan's mature and beautiful face turned completely red in an instant.

"I~ I~~ this~~"

"My age is enough to be your great-grandmother's great-grandmother..."

"You~ how could you be so..."

"Senior, that is where you are wrong." Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "We Cultivators fight against heaven for our lives; age has never been an issue."

Sun Wan shook her head repeatedly, "No, I am a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator; the gap between us is too great, and you actually..."

"Are you not afraid of being drained to death?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled indifferently, "A mere Void Refinement Stage, so what? Even if it were the Great Vehicle Stage, what is there to fear?"

Sun Wan was taken aback.

Only then did she remember this fellow's relationship with Xuan Ji.

Immediately, she revealed a thoughtful expression.

Facing the Great Vehicle Stage, this fellow actually managed to survive?

Could it be that he possesses some kind of Special Constitution?

Following that, she shook off these chaotic thoughts and continued to shake her head, "No, I will not agree to this."

With her personality, how could she ever do such a thing that compromises her principles?

If she were the type of person who would stop at nothing for her own benefit, why would she have refused her Senior Brother's threats earlier?

Seeing the look of determination on Sun Wan's face, Wang Jianqiang sighed, "I knew that Senior has a resilient character and would not easily go against your own heart."

"Very well, in consideration of the fact that Senior risked danger to help me and my companions on the battlefield earlier, this junior will change the way of resolving this Karma."
