Chapter 148: The Purple Mansion Sacred Lord is Kidnapped, Third Elder Questions Chen Changsheng
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ziling spoke.
“Sir, if the powerful ones do not k*ll people, then why do all the major forces continue to fight?”
“Sigh!”
“I never said they don’t k*ll.”
Chen Changsheng firmly denied Ziling’s conclusion, and then continued.
“What I said is that they dislike the feeling of killing. I didn’t say they don’t k*ll.”
“It’s precisely because of this loathsome feeling that they will try their best to solve problems with strategy.”
“After all, while killing others, their own people also d*e.”
“But if strategies cannot resolve certain situations, they will raise their weapons again.”
“At that time, they will be even more ruthless and decisive!”
“Pain now is better than pain later. Killing everyone at once can save a lot of trouble.”
Ziling: “…”
What a “pain now is better than pain later,” Tian has broadened her horizons again.
“Well, we’ve reached this point. Whether you can understand it is up to you.”
“Hurry up and do what you need to do. If the spoils of war are too little, can you justify all the people you’ve killed?”
“You might not care about these things, but can your subordinates endure it?”
With those words, Ziling and Gongsun Huaiyu immediately ran towards the distant battlefield.
Self-reproaching for the heavy burden of killing is a minor matter; it’s acceptable to lament it in a fitting atmosphere.
But dividing the spoils of war is a major matter that cannot be delayed.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and Chen Changsheng led everyone back, leaving only a massive tomb behind.
Before the battle, everything was grandiose, but the ending was so bleak.
Perhaps this is the daily life of the cultivation world.
…
Back in the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, Chen Changsheng’s days visibly calmed down.
Throughout the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, no one doubted Chen Changsheng anymore.
Without anyone causing trouble, Chen Changsheng naturally enjoyed the peace.
After teaching Ziling the new cultivation method, Chen Changsheng immersed himself in the “Sea of Learning” within the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.
At the same time, the younger generation of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land and Chen Changsheng gained fame through this battle.
A thousand people fought across a thousand miles, sweeping through three forces within ten days.
Achieving such results solely with young people, one could say there has been no precedent in five millennia.
The Purple Mansion disciples’ bravery and the strategizing of their leaders were seen by all factions.
If the teamwork ability of the Purple Mansion disciples surprised people, then Chen Changsheng’s performance left them astounded.
Single-handedly repelling the Great Elder and Holy Son of the Kunlun Sacred Ground, and then delivering three consecutive blows that forced the entire Kunlun Sacred Ground to bow.
Such achievements had never been seen in the Central Courtyard for ten thousand years.
In the face of such brilliant achievements, countless people gave up on challenging him.
But this peaceful life Chen Changsheng only experienced for a month before it was completely disrupted by a furious shout.
“Chen Changsheng, get out here!”
The powerful momentum made the entire Purple Mansion Sacred Land tremble, which startled Chen Changsheng who was lying under a tree reading.
Upon hearing such commotion, Ziling and Gongsun Huaiyu also emerged from their seclusion.
Soon, the younger generation of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land gathered together.
“Third Elder, what’s wrong with you?”
Looking at the enraged elder in front of her, Ziling felt quite troubled.
Given that the Third Elder had the strangest temper and was the most hostile towards the Seventy Wolf Smoke,
he ignored Ziling’s attempt to speak.
After scanning the crowd, his gaze finally rested on the playfully watching Gongsun Huaiyu.
“Wicked girl, I don’t know what kind of trick you used to bewitch the entire sacred land, but as long as I Lin Kaishan am still alive, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land will not let you run rampant.”
“Let Chen Changsheng come out and talk to me.”
Hearing Lin Kaishan’s disrespectful remarks about Chen Changsheng, Gongsun Huaiyu, who was watching, became displeased.
“Fine, old scoundrel!”
“If you dare say another word about my master, I’ll make you regret it!”
As she spoke, Gongsun Huaiyu stepped forward to confront Lin Kaishang.
Seeing this, everyone hurried to stop her.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng’s voice came from afar.
“Huaiyu, this is the Third Elder. How can you be so rude?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s voice, everyone immediately made way and bowed.
“Greetings, Holy Son!”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s status in the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, Lin Kaishan narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
“Good, Chen Changsheng. In just a few months, you’ve made my Purple Mansion prodigies submit to you. I truly underestimated you.”
“Hahaha!”
“Third Elder jests. This is merely the respect my fellow disciples have for me.”
“I hold my fellow disciples in my heart, and they will naturally elevate me.”
“But seeing how angry you are, it seems you’re very dissatisfied with me. What did this junior do wrong?”
Hearing this, Lin Kaishan threw a letter at him and said,
“If you don’t give me an explanation, you may not leave the Purple Mansion Sacred Land today.”
Taking the letter from Lin Kaishan, Chen Changsheng opened it in front of everyone.
But when everyone saw the contents of the letter, the corners of their mouths started twitching.
The content was simple: someone had kidnapped their sacred leader and demanded ransom, threatening not to k*ll him.
Seeing this situation, Ziling tugged on Gongsun Huaiyu’s sleeve and whispered, “Mischievous girl, what’s going on? Is there some misunderstanding?”
“I don’t know either!”
“I haven’t heard my master mention anything about this. This is definitely not something the Seventy Wolf Smoke would do. I’ll send a message to inquire immediately.”
Before Gongsun Huaiyu could act, Chen Changsheng raised his hand to stop her.
“There’s no need to ask. This was done by the Seventy Wolf Smoke.”
“The letter bears the unique mark of the Seventy Wolf Smoke. No one else could have forged it.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng admit it himself, some Purple Mansion disciples who wanted to defend him didn’t know how to speak.
Seeing this, Ziling grew anxious, “Master, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land and the Seventy Wolf Smoke don’t have any deep-seated grudges.”
“Maybe you should plead for leniency and have them release my master. After all, this situation is rather absurd.”
Ziling used the most tactful language to express her thoughts, but Chen Changsheng became extremely “annoyed” after hearing it.
“What nonsense! How can the Purple Mansion Sacred Land bow to bandits like the Seventy Wolf Smoke? Let me write a letter and show them our attitude.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and wrote a few words on the letter.
“Give it, or deal with it yourself!”
Everyone: “…”
Are you trying to k*ll the sacred leader and take over yourself?
