Chapter 791: Why Don't You Get Out Already

Pfft—a leaf floating in mid-air struck several vital acupuncture points on the old man's body. The old man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and he discovered in terror that his dantian was damaged and his Cultivation was rapidly draining away.

"I'll say it one more time: get out." Chen Yu stepped forward, his Divine Sense suddenly erupting.

"Primordial Qi Realm..." Duan Ziqi was stunned. Under Chen Yu's pressure, he felt his scalp go numb; the suppression of their realms made him almost unable to lift his head.

"Understood? Now get out," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Fine. No wonder the Martial Alliance has undergone such a massive change. We, the Tiance Sword Mansion, have learned our lesson today." Duan Ziqi struggled to stand up and said viciously, "Chen Yu, our Xuanwu Pavilion will definitely settle this score. Let's go."

"Stop." Just as the group turned to leave, Chen Yu spat out two words indifferently.

"What else do you want?" Duan Ziqi asked angrily.

"You hurt someone and think you can just leave? I'm afraid it's not that easy," Chen Yu said coldly. "Kneel and apologize to my injured friend in the Martial Alliance, otherwise, none of you will be leaving Longwu Villa today."

As Chen Yu's words fell, the Lichen sword unsheathed in succession. A powerful Sword Qi split into four, hanging over the foreheads of Duan Ziqi and his five subordinates. If they dared to move another step, Chen Yu would kill them on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

"Chen Yu, don't go too far. Do you dare to offend our Tiance Sword Mansion?" Duan Ziqi was furious.

Their Tiance Mansion were the leaders of the martial arts world in the Jiangnan region, and they were also a Hidden Sect, the guardians of the Tianxin Pavilion. Was Chen Yu trying to offend them to the death? Was he truly not afraid of Tiance Mansion's wrath?

"You hurt someone, and I'm asking you to apologize. That's not going too far, is it?" Chen Yu grinned. "The Martial Alliance has been suppressed by your Xuanwu Pavilion for so many years. Now that I'm asking you to bow your heads, do you find it difficult?"

"The Alliance Leader is right. Kneel and apologize." The crowd in the Martial Alliance was impassioned. Chen Yu was already a god in their hearts; there was no need to hold an election for the position of Alliance Leader—they recognized Chen Yu.

After all, Xuanwu Pavilion had suppressed the Martial Alliance for so many years, and because the Tiance Sword Mansion's strength was overwhelming, everyone in the Martial Alliance had been unable to lift their heads.

Now, the people from Xuanwu Pavilion were bullying them even further. If Chen Yu hadn't stepped out to stand up for them, the Martial Alliance would likely have been ruled by Xuanwu Pavilion today.

Seeing the people of the Martial Alliance surrounding them, these few men suddenly panicked. After a long while, Duan Ziqi gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I apologize today. But Chen Yu, there will be plenty of time in the future. Our Xuanwu Pavilion will certainly not let this matter in the Martial Alliance end here."

Duan Ziqi walked in humiliation to Elder Liu, whom he had injured earlier, and bowed deeply. "It was my fault for attacking and injuring you. I apologize to you here."

After he finished speaking, he opened his right hand and, with a *crack*, he forcibly broke his own left arm. "Kneeling is impossible. I will break my own arm as an act of atonement."

Having said that, Duan Ziqi took his group and turned to leave. Although he did not kneel, as one of the Elders of Xuanwu Pavilion, he had lost all face at the Martial Alliance today. Just as he said, there would be plenty of time in the future; he would definitely settle this score.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't accept you as Alliance Leader before, but today you stood up for our Martial Alliance, so I acknowledge this Alliance Leader." Elder Liu stood straight and bowed deeply to Chen Yu. "From now on, in the Martial Alliance, I only recognize you."

"The Martial Alliance is willing to serve Mr. Chen as Alliance Leader." People from the Three Provinces and six cities had never been so eager; they bowed deeply to Chen Yu and cupped their fists in unison, shouting.

"Actually, in martial arts, the most taboo thing is to be combative and aggressive. But the people of Xuanwu Pavilion have always suppressed my Martial Alliance, bullying us by relying on their status as guardians of the Tianxin Pavilion. I know I am young and do not command full respect, but I promise everyone that this situation will not happen again," Chen Yu said loudly.

"Alliance Leader Chen, we will all listen to you from now on," someone shouted.

"Right, listen to Alliance Leader Chen." The crowd applauded one after another.

Chen Yu had been prepared to teach a few people a lesson at the Martial Alliance assembly, but he hadn't expected Xuanwu Pavilion to give them a push, making the entire Martial Alliance unprecedentedly united.

Chen Yu becoming Alliance Leader was already a certainty, but since Duan Ziqi's Tiance Sword Mansion was a Hidden Sect, these guys would definitely find a way to get back at them after returning.

However, Chen Yu didn't care. Tiance Sword Mansion had spent years as guardians of the Tianxin Pavilion and had suppressed the Martial Alliance plenty. Since Chen Yu had taken the stage as Alliance Leader, he would have to secure some benefits for the Martial Alliance—for instance, the Tianxin Sword Pavilion would be guarded by the Martial Alliance from now on.

Of course, that was a matter for the future. Chen Yu would be stationed at Longwu Villa from now on.

Night, Jizhao Nunnery.

Yu Sichen was practicing while keeping her hair. At midnight, looking at the crowd of Yin Souls waiting for salvation along the long corridor, Yu Sichen couldn't help but feel a bit startled.

"Master, when will these people be fully saved?" Yu Sichen asked.

"Heh, wherever there are people, there is a Jianghu. As long as the human heart does not perish, these Yin Souls who cannot enter Reincarnation will never be fully saved," Huizhao said, a kind smile appearing on her aged face.

"Why must it be this way? Isn't it better to do one good deed every day while alive?" Yu Sichen murmured.

"Where is Hell? In truth, Hell is within the human heart. When human desires are difficult to satisfy, greed, hatred, and dissatisfaction arise. Those who seek the path of liberation must also distance themselves from the fire of desire," Huizhao said slowly.

Yu Sichen nodded slowly. She felt fortunate that she had met Chen Yu in this life; otherwise, she would have been trapped in Hell forever, with no chance of turning her fate around. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, she missed him.

"Master, is there such a thing as fate in this world?" Yu Sichen asked blankly.

"The Buddha says that all phenomena are tied to fate. Everything in this world is a coincidence of causes and conditions; when the conditions arise, they perish, and when they are born, they are already empty," Huizhao said.

Yu Sichen nodded thoughtfully. She stood up slowly, her gaze passing through the souls in the corridor, and then looked toward the mountain stream.

In the night, the mountains and Chuan were silent, and all things were asleep.

"Every drop of water is the ocean. Because people have a 'self,' they experience suffering. The perspective of the self creates the past and the future, and creates good, bad, adversity, and prosperity. People live constantly in anticipation and desire. When the small self disappears and becomes 'no-self,' that drop of water merges into the ocean and attains freedom."

"Master, I don't quite understand," Yu Sichen said, looking at Huizhao with a complex expression.

"It is not that you do not understand, but that you are running away." Huizhao stood up slowly and walked away tremblingly. "The reason people suffer is that they are always pursuing the wrong things. By not forgiving all living beings, you are only making yourself suffer."
