Chapter 30: The Righteous Path of the Human World

~12 min read 2,353 words

"Everything is over. When the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters from the major sects arrive, my mission to help the Wu Gong Alliance Leader Hong Hong Sihai kill the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen should be considered complete!"

Brother Qian Chen was neither happy nor regretful, raising his gourd to toast the morning sun.

The gourd still did not contain the fine wine that would fit the occasion, even though if Brother Qian Chen said a word now, there would be thousands of jars of the best wine in the Four Seas Hall for him to take. He also wanted to try the heroic spirit of roaming the martial arts world and drinking wine in big gulps... In this one day, he had seen through the most dangerous, ruthless, and cunning conspiracies, killed several of the most terrifying bandits in the martial arts world, and displayed a peerless demeanor with his sword energy in front of countless martial arts heroes.

He had made the most promising young talents worship him.

He had shocked the most composed Buddhist masters!

He had seen a peerless beauty die under his sword...

He had also gone from a nobody to dueling a great enemy under the witness of countless martial arts masters, showing his sanctity in front of people, and being hailed as a peerless Grandmaster.

The day before, Brother Qian Chen was unknown... The day after, he would inevitably be famous throughout the world.

Was this kind of gratification not worth a cup of wine?

It was a pity that Brother Qian Chen sighed silently in his heart: "It is not worth it... All the experiences in this world are ultimately fleeting phantoms, vanishing like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water. Only the Central Lands Realm and the Supreme Dao are bright and eternal, and only such eternal existence is worth my pursuit."

"A cup of turbid wine, although it can only delay my cultivation by two days... I still will not take it."

"Brother Huang, I have disappointed you. I am ultimately not a martial artist who seeks gratification through vengeance... I am just a practitioner seeking eternal freedom and roaming the world. Just a passerby in this world."

"The righteous path of the human world in this world ultimately still needs to be borne by benevolent and righteous people like you."

Brother Qian Chen climbed out of the window of the guest pavilion arranged for him by the Four Seas Hall, stepped on the window lattice, and used the force to climb onto the roof. Learning from the heroic posture of the heroes he had seen on television in his previous life, he chose a slightly flat place, lay down against the roof ridge, and watched the morning sun gradually rising in the east. The breeze brushed his face, and he suddenly felt a sense of intoxication.

He lay here for a long time, waiting for the moment to return to the Samsara Land.

At this time, someone brought a ladder and placed it under the eaves. A young boy climbed up the ladder, panting. It was the kitchen boy who had been burning paper money the day before. Brother Qian Chen raised his head and asked him: "What is the matter with you climbing up? Don't block my sunlight!"

The boy stood steadily on the tiles, bowed to Brother Qian Chen and said: "I am here to thank you, sir, for saving my life and avenging my great hatred."

"I am a guest of the Four Seas Hall; it is my duty to contribute to the host family," Brother Qian Chen said lightly.

The boy stubbornly performed a grand salute again and said: "I want to thank you, sir, for avenging Uncle Wang, Auntie Hua... Chef Fan... and Uncle Huang Yuhan, as well as my whole family."

"Uncle Wang, Auntie Hua... Chef Fan, should be the innocent kitchen servants brutally murdered by Divine Lord Dipper. Huang Huang Yuhan was harmed by Divine Lord Sun. These two murderers were killed by me... so I avenged them. But what is the story of this boy's family? Could it be that they were unlucky enough that his whole family worked in the Four Seas Hall and unfortunately perished in this disaster?"

The boy said in a low voice: "Uncle Huang Yuhan said that you, sir, are a reliable person, and told me that if I have anything to say, I can tell you, but I must never mention it to anyone else."

Brother Qian Chen's expression gradually became serious. Being specifically instructed by Huang Huang Yuhan yesterday, there must be something complicated about it.

The boy said in a low mood: "The Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen once killed my whole family... I still remember my mother, my sister, my brother, as well as my third uncle, fourth uncle, second aunt, and Aunt Qing, who distracted the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen so that I could escape... They..." The boy choked up and couldn't continue.

He calmed his emotions before saying to Brother Qian Chen, who was listening quietly: "Sir, I have a small selfish request I want to tell you."

"Now that most of the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen are dead, my revenge is almost complete. There is only one person who still makes me unable to let go. I dare not trouble you, sir, so I will just tell you what I know. If you meet that person in the future, you can be on guard. If you can kill that person, it would naturally be the best."

"That person is the Dragon Head of the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen!"

"You have seen the Dragon Head of the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen?" Brother Qian Chen asked in surprise.

The boy shook his head: "I have never seen him! But he was a good friend of my father. Every year he would come to my house to drink and discuss martial arts with my father. My father regarded him as his best friend in his life. Because his identity was special, his true identity was firmly hidden by my father, and even we children did not know."

"Once I heard his voice, heroic and loud. It was a man!"

"And his martial arts are extremely high..." The boy muttered some nonsense, most of which was hearsay, and the authenticity could not be determined. Although it could narrow down the scope of suspicion for the Dragon Head, wanting to find the true identity of the Dragon Head based on this was undoubtedly a delusion.

As the boy spoke, he began to cry: "My father accidentally obtained a piece of extraterrestrial strange stone at the Jietian Divine Peak in the Arctic Cold Plains. It contained supreme martial arts. Because it was only the true meaning of martial arts and not some secret martial arts manual that could not be passed on, my father kindly invited him to study it. Who would have thought that after studying it for several days... he suddenly said goodbye and left."

"A few days later, my father arranged for us to flee overseas secretly."

"As a result, on the way, we encountered the pursuit of the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen. These people kept forcing us to reveal a secret, and then I heard the laughter of my father's good friend... At that time, he was wearing the mask of the Dragon Head. He forced my mother to reveal the whereabouts of that extraterrestrial divine stone... and killed my whole family... I was hidden by Aunt Qing in a manure pit, and my uncles used their lives to cover for me!"

At this moment, Brother Qian Chen already knew who his father was!

"After I luckily escaped, I wanted to avenge my family, so I drifted to the Four Seas Hall, wanting to use the power of the great hero and great man, Hall Master Hong, to wipe out the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen. Unfortunately, I am not good at literature or martial arts. Uncle Huang Yuhan accidentally saw me stealing martial arts from the hall. He didn't blame me, but taught me martial arts himself."

"But I have learned for so long, and I am still mediocre in everything. Perhaps I will never be able to avenge myself in this life!"

"But your action this time, sir, killing so many people of the Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen... is enough to comfort my mother, brother, and uncles who died for me in the underworld!"

"Practice the martial arts Uncle Huang taught you and show me!" Brother Qian Chen said to the boy.

The boy's mood gradually became excited from low. He stepped on the tiles with a clatter, performed a set of boxing techniques, and recited many internal energy formulas. Brother Qian Chen shook his head and said: "The martial arts he taught you are wrong! If you continue to practice like this, you will never become a master in this life."

The boy was a little angry at first, seemingly dissatisfied with Brother Qian Chen slandering Huang Huang Yuhan.

But after thinking for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Huang Yuhan didn't seem to say that this was any peerless martial art... he only said it could be practiced to strengthen the body."

Brother Qian Chen said to him: "Have you ever thought that you and the Four Seas Hall also have a blood feud? Huang Huang Yuhan is the Chief Steward of the Four Seas Hall; it is impossible for him to cultivate the child of an enemy."

"You are talking nonsense!" The boy became stubborn at this moment. He said: "Uncle Huang Yuhan is my last relative. If he wanted to harm me, I would have died long ago!"

"Now you have some small cleverness." Brother Qian Chen sighed: "You shouldn't have told me so much. If others knew your identity, ten of you would have died easily!"

"Your aptitude is not good. Even if there were peerless martial arts in front of you, your highest achievement in this life would be a Grandmaster. Compared to your enemies, you are truly like an ant. So the higher you practice your martial arts, the more likely you are to die inexplicably. It is better to be a small bug that people ignore..."

"I suppose your family background was so great, yet they didn't leave you any profound martial arts. Huang Huang Yuhan also didn't try to pass on any higher martial arts essence. It was all for this consideration!"

"Have you ever thought that those who care about you most in your life only hope that you will live safely. Marry and have children... instead of being tortured for a lifetime for this illusory hatred!"

The boy said with tears: "I have also thought about giving up revenge, but I really can't do it. Even if I just tell you a little of what I know, sir, so that you can be a little useful when dealing with that villain, I would be very happy, throwing everything about life and death behind me!" Brother Qian Chen picked him up and said: "The Twelve Twelve Yuan Chen have us great masters to worry about. You, a boy with three-legged cat skills, don't come and try to be brave!"

"What you said is a little useful for me to eradicate the Dragon Head."

"But you have a feud with the Four Seas Hall. Without Huang Huang Yuhan's protection, maybe one day you will be discovered by the Four Seas Hall and then killed. Hurry up and pack your things and run, kid! I, an old man, will trouble myself to escort you for a while."

The boy said in a low mood: "Martial arts matters, martial arts end. My father also killed many people. He was killed by revenge, which is also the cycle of karma. I don't have the intention of revenge! And Uncle Huang also told me that after he died, I had to leave... I have already resigned from the job and was preparing to thank you, sir, and say goodbye before changing my name and hiding."

Brother Qian Chen smiled: "What is your name?"

"I am called Xiao Luo in the Four Seas Hall, but my real name is Luo Luo Shengyi! Mr. Brother Qian... thank you for avenging me!" Luo Luo Shengyi wanted to bow again, but Brother Qian Chen kicked him down the building and said: "Get lost quickly!"

Watching him gradually walk away, Brother Qian Chen followed from afar to protect him for a while.

Until he saw him leave Linhai with his own eyes, and no one was chasing behind, Brother Qian Chen turned his head slowly. He was about to return to the Samsara Land, and he had no time!

Brother Qian Chen sighed deeply on the road: "I can be considered to have lived up to Brother Huang! I didn't expect Brother Huang to have protected the child of an enemy like this in the Four Seas Hall all these years. I might already know who the Dragon Head is, but I have no evidence... At this time, saying things without evidence, besides startling the snake, has no benefit."

"Let the matters of this world be solved by the people of this world!"

"At worst, before I leave, I will tell that old monk Kongming my guess and let Skyborne Shaolin worry about it!" ===== CHAPTER 31 =====

On the road, Brother Qian Chen sighed deeply: "I can consider myself to have done right by Brother Huang! I never expected that Brother Huang, having been in the Four Seas Hall all these years, would actually protect the child of an enemy like this. I might already know who the Dragon Head is, but I have no evidence... At a time like this, saying things without evidence, apart from alerting the enemy, has no benefit at all."

"As for the affairs of this world, let the people of this world resolve them!"

"At worst, before I leave, I will tell that old monk Kongming my suspicions and let Skyborne Shaolin worry about it!"
