"A large red robe, in one place, became dirty and unsightly."
"After the hundred holes were loosened, it became a mess of feces and urine."
Watching Zheng Ren kill Sun Zhuo, I should have been overjoyed.
In fact, I did not show that emotion outwardly.
Sun Zhuo is destined to die.
He created all those twists and turns, yet in his final attempt to fight back, he was still powerless.
He died in Zheng Ren's hands, which was only right.
Zheng Ren's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
He pulled his finger out of Sun Zhuo's skull, his body still trembling slightly, and his pupils still contracting.
The previous fear had now materialized, and there was even a strong feeling of fear after the event!
For him, the four principles of Mount Shian is still everything.
But he wanted to be a true person, to cultivate his own disciples.
This does not mean that Zheng Ren wants to destroy four principles of Mount Shian and let it be eaten by the Tianshou Daoist Monastery!
The reason for my calm face is here.
The matter is far from over!
Sun Zhuo is a sword, a sword aimed at Zheng Ren!
He, too, needs to pay the price!
The price of killing the true person of four principles!
"Sun Zhuo dared to deceive the true man, infiltrated Mount Shian, intended to overthrow my Four Principles door, deserve to be killed!"
"All disciples associated with Sun Zhuo must be detained, and all must pass the 'Questioning the Heart' trial. Those found guilty shall be executed!"
"The true man, too, must pass the 'Questioning the Heart' trial!"
"The Inauguration Ceremony is temporarily suspended. When Mount Shian is completely purified, and the cleaning of the door is completed, then we will……"
Zheng Ren spoke with certainty, his tone decisive.
However, He Youqing's face looked extremely cold.
"Brother Three, do you think this is the punishment for you?"
"The personal disciple is a spy of the Tianshou Daoist Monastery. He has stolen all the teachings of Mount Shian. If it were not for my younger brother and the Taoist master from the Liu family to attest, today, you would still be listening to Sun Zhuo's slanderous words, and Mount Shian would have nearly been destroyed by your thought!"
"You yourself believe that Chih-yi Jade is likely counterfeit, then your moral heart is already chaotic."
Before He Youqing finished his words, Zheng Ren's forehead was covered in sweat, and he spoke decisively: "The first elder brother's words are very right. This naturally cannot let me redeem my sins. I plan to, after presiding over the Inauguration Ceremony, resign from the true man position of Mount Shian. I have no face to lead the door……"
"I..."
At this time, He Youqing raised his hand again.
There was an item clearly present in his palm.
It was a small, ancient bronze tube.
He Youqing remained silent.
Zheng Ren's body shook again.
The two of them were almost on an open table. Zheng Ren had always been evading He Youqing, always in retreat, and even today, staging this grand scene, was to coerce Zheng Ren not to cause chaos in Mount Shian.
However, almost an open secret is still not an open secret.
When He Youqing revealed the bronze tube that could kill the true person of four principles.
Among those present, only I, Si Yan, the seven elders, and Zheng Ren knew the meaning, and no one else was aware of it.
"You should bear some responsibility."
"Instead of casting a big mistake and still wanting to retreat, renounce the true man position, is not your shield. If today, Sun Zhuo is my disciple, I have no face to face my master and ancestors, let alone the thunder cliff under Mount Shian where I would make amends!"
"Third younger brother, are you going to be stubborn and continue to retreat, unwilling to take responsibility? Or are you going to act decisively and show the aura of a true person!"
"I don't want you to resign from your true person position, but I hope you can resolve some things!"
"After all, you are the true person of Mount Shian, and the true person of my Mount Shian has never given others any opportunity to reproach!"
He Youqing spoke each word clearly, each one pressing tightly!
Zheng Ren's eyes turned red.
He clenched his fists tightly, his body tensed, as if his emotions had reached a certain critical point!
At this moment, He Youqing raised his left hand again, and he took out a Four Principles Mirror.
After my last conversation with He Youqing, the Four Principles Mirror was handed over to him.
"Third younger brother, you arranged the grand ceremony but forgot this item, leaving it in the Spirit God Hall. If I hadn't checked once, I'm afraid this item would have fallen into Sun Zhuo's hands, and you would have made a bigger mistake."
"What if Sun Zhuo gave you a false mirror instead? You would have no excuse for your death."
"How could the true man of Mount Shian lose such a valuable item?"
He Youqing pushed his hand forward, and the Four Principles Mirror fell towards Zheng Ren.
At this moment, Zheng Ren was at a loss, and after catching the Four Principles Mirror, he stood still, bewildered.
That tense emotion felt like the surging river of a thousand autumns.
The next second, he tremblingly turned his head and looked at the body of the true person of four principles.
Bang!
Zheng Ren fell to the ground heavily.
He didn't cry, but his expression felt as though he was on the verge of weeping.
"I won't go to the Thunder God Cliff!"
"The person who dies on the Thunder God Cliff is a traitor, a spy, and an outsider."
"I am the Mingjing True Man of Mount Shian!"
"I am guilty, and the punishment I deserve!"
"Master, I have no face to face the mountain gate, and I have no face to see you……"
Quivering voice echoes in the Shangqing Hall unceasingly.
And as things reached this point, all the disciples of Mount Shian looked confused and bewildered.
Some may have some guesses, but many still don't understand.
Of course, even those who have some guesses don't understand Zheng Ren's current state of mind!
Booming!
Thunder roars!
Zheng Ren suddenly raised his head, and his body shot upward abruptly!
I see, he is forming a hand seal, clearly the Thunder Technique!
In the next instant, Zheng Ren stepped onto the eaves of the Upper Clear Hall, taking advantage of the momentum, he leaped higher!
Booming!
Booming!
The thunder is so loud that it seems like it's going to burst the sky!
A blinding bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, making the surroundings as bright as day.
The lightning did not strike the ground, but struck Zheng Ren directly.
In that moment, Zheng Ren's body suddenly shone, and even the thousands of fine veins on his body could be seen, like a web of spiders, densely packed!
In the next instant, Zheng Ren landed straight on the ground.
Yes, he stood in front of the gate of the Upper Clear Hall, directly in front of the body of the Four Principles True Man, facing him.
The elders in the first row did not retreat. They are all top-notch experts and would not be so easily injured.
The remaining disciples and students in the other rows fled in panic.
The smell of burning spread out in all directions.
Zheng Ren's entire body became as black as charcoal.
The heavenly thunder called forth by a true man of my level is naturally different from the one I called forth.
I am not strong enough to kill the Tianshou Taoist, but if it were Zheng Ren or He Youqing, that might not be the case.
Similarly, Zheng Ren wants to die, but he doesn't want to go to the Thunder God Cliff. However, the method he chooses to die is so eye-catching!
Self-destruction using the lightning laws of Mount Shian!
This confirms what Si Yan and Han Zizi said: Zheng Ren would never jump off the Thunder God Cliff even if he were to die!
...
Silence, silence, and the profound sorrow.
He Youqing walked to Zheng Ren's body and took out the Four Principles Mirror from Zheng Ren's arms.
The mirror that has been exposed to the thunder has gained a faint, intangible aura.
He Youqing looked at everyone, then bowed respectfully and said, "Senior elders and Dao brothers, today our Mount Shian has suffered such a great tragedy. I beg your forgiveness."
"However, my third younger brother is also a true person of responsibility. He is willing to self-punish, and I, He Youqing, am also determined that there is only one outsider, Sun Zhuo, in our Mount Shian!"
"This Inauguration Ceremony will not be interrupted. Please continue to observe the proceedings!"
