Chapter 217: Bowed Spine, the Bronze Ancient Palace Reappears
After several days, former enemies met again.
Only this time, their identities had changed.
“Still standing there? Quickly kneel and apologize to Chen Sanzi!”
The old man continued to scold Cang Hong, while Nalan Xingde slowly sipped his tea, and Chen Shisan stood calmly.
Everyone’s expressions were seen by Cang Hong.
At this moment, Cang Hong felt dizzy as a choice lay before him.
Having lived in Huayang Heaven since childhood, Cang Hong was well aware of Huayang Heaven’s morals.
His master’s anger wasn’t because he had provoked enemies.
It was because he feared that he would lose to an “ant,” and the current humiliation was his master’s punishment.
Even more laughable was that the situation now was exactly the same as at the Eight Treasure Restaurant.
Back then, he had bullied others with power, and now, Chen Shisan did the same.
But could he make the same choice as Chen Shisan?
Thinking this, Cang Hong said, “Master, fighting among cultivators has no right or wrong.”
“If he doesn’t accept it, let him come and k*ll me himself. Why should I…”
“Slap!”
A bright red palm print appeared on Cang Hong’s face.
“Wretch, is this how I taught you?”
“When you’re out, you bully people with your power. If not for Chen Sanzi’s mercy, would you still be alive to speak?”
“You have no right to be Huayang Heaven’s ‘world walker’ in this state.”
Hearing this, Cang Hong stepped back in shock.
This identity of ‘world walker’ was what he had sacrificed everything for, and now he was a defeated person.
As a defeated person, if he didn’t listen, he might not d*e but would lose everything.
Realizing all this, Cang Hong’s eyes turned red as he looked at Chen Shisan, bl**d trickling from his mouth.
Looking at the ordinary Chen Shisan, Cang Hong recalled Chen Shisan’s words.
“Because you are stronger than me, you want me to bow down, regardless of right or wrong.”
“And if one day I become stronger, can I also make you bow down, regardless of right or wrong?”
These two sentences echoed in his heart, and Cang Hong smiled bitterly.
His white teeth were already covered in bl**d.
“Hahaha!”
“Chen Shisan, you’ve won, truly won.”
“Today you are stronger than me, so I’ll kneel.”
“Though my bones are broken and spine bent, I, Cang Hong, will live longer than you.”
“As long as I’m alive, you, Chen Shisan, will always have an enemy, an unyielding one.”
Thud!
Knees slammed hard onto the stone floor.
Cang Hong knelt!
Not only did he lower his head, but he also raised a beast skin bag over his head with both hands.
“Here is 1,700 catties of divine source, Cang Hong apologizes to Chen Sanzi!”
Watching Cang Hong kneeling, Chen Shisan pursed his lips and took the beast skin bag.
“In fact, you shouldn’t have knelt. Xiancha once said, once knees bend, they never straighten again.”
“Thank you for your teaching, Sanzi!”
Cang Hong gritted his teeth and said.
Despite his hatred for Chen Shisan, it grew even deeper.
He knew Chen Shisan was right, and his actions were the dreams of many young cultivators.
Never bowing to power or fame.
But dreams are just dreams; reality isn’t like that.
To reach where he is today, he had given up too much.
A person who had endured the darkness and filth of the secular world saw the ideal person and naturally despised them to the extreme.
Because such people’s appearance stabbed the “original heart” that had long died within Cang Hong.
“Quickly get up! Quickly get up!”
“Old sir, this is just a child’s play, why be so serious?”
“There’s nothing to worry about, just explain it clearly.”
With the situation nearing its end, Nalan Xingde finally “realized” and helped Cang Hong up.
Seeing this, the old man glanced at the dazed Cang Hong and said indifferently.
“A jade needs to be carved to become a vessel; this is a test for him.”
“Sir, please visit our Huayang Heaven, and we shall show our hospitality.”
“From now on, let my wayward disciple show you around Huayang Heaven.”
With that, the old man got up and left, leaving Cang Hong alone.
“Senior, this way, please.”
Cang Hong said flatly, his demeanor lifeless.
…
“This is Huayang Heaven’s ‘Purifying Spring.’ Soaking in the spring water can wash away all negative influences.”
Cang Hong introduced expressionlessly.
Looking at the spring water, Nalan Xingde raised his eyebrows and said, “Really wash away all negative influences?”
“Yes, all negative influences can be washed away.”
“I don’t think so. At least, this spring water can’t wash away the filth and murderous intent in your heart.”
Hearing this, Cang Hong looked up at Nalan Xingde.
“Senior, you are powerful. What you say goes.”
“Hahaha!”
“Don’t blame everything on power.”
“Back then at the Eight Treasure Restaurant, you were much stronger than Chen Shisan and could control his life and d*ath at will.”
“But did you make him bow?”
“Huh!”
At these words, Cang Hong sneered and looked at Chen Shisan beside him.
“I couldn’t make him bow, but such people d*e quickly and miserably in the cultivation world.”
“Even if Senior protects him, one day there will be someone Senior can’t deal with.”
“True, he might d*e miserably, but such people still deserve respect, don’t they?”
Hearing this, Cang Hong’s expression became even more desolate.
Yes!
Such people like Chen Shisan indeed deserved respect.
Because they were everyone’s original form, but most people gave up their original form when faced with cruel reality.
He, Chen Shisan, achieved what most couldn’t, and he was truly impressive.
But it was precisely because of this that he hated him.
Bang!
A violent shake interrupted Cang Hong’s thoughts.
“Bookworm, hurry and help! Look what I found!”
Bai Ze’s voice echoed throughout the cave heaven.
A magnificent Bronze Ancient Palace was dragged out by Bai Ze.
Swipe!
Just as the scene unfolded, Nalan Xingde pushed Cang Hong slightly.
Though it was a light push, Cang Hong flew out at an incredible speed.
“You are a pitiful person. I won’t k*ll you, hoping you will someday escape the sea of suffering.”
Watching Cang Hong fly away, Nalan Xingde smiled and said.
After everything was done, Nalan Xingde looked up at the Bronze Ancient Palace in the sky.
“No wonder Bai Ze targeted Huayang Cave Heaven; it’s because of this thing.”
“Huayang Cave Heaven, you are playing with fire!”
As the words fell, Nalan Xingde appeared in the air and blocked all the great powers of Huayang Cave Heaven.
…
