Chapter Thirty Enlightenment

  "Smelly brat, make your move!" Cán Yúnzi exclaimed impatiently as he watched Yang Chen remain still.

  Yang Chen slightly shook his head and said in a low voice, "There is no such great hatred between these two and me, I don't need to put both of them to death! Besides, if they both die, the Tian Dao Men will investigate and it will definitely lead to me!"

  Zan Yunzi listened to Yang Chen's words and suddenly burst into a rage, scolding Yang Chen as an idiot, a fool, and a coward.

  Yang Chen listened to Can Yunzi's words, a helpless smile in his heart. Although he had only been in contact with this Can Yunzi for one day, he had gained some understanding of the man, knowing that his temper was extremely violent. If he tried to reason with him when he was angry, it would only make his temper even more violent, and he would be scolded until his face turned blue. If he didn't try to reason with him, Can Yunzi would eventually calm down after venting his anger.

  Yang Chen didn't bother with him either, standing still on the spot, his eyes fixed on Zhao Qian and Wang Rui who were still arguing.

  As expected, Ruyunzi looked at Yangchen ignoring himself, muttered a few words and then stopped.

  However, at this time, the struggle between Zhao Qian and Wang Rui became more and more intense. Zhao Qian's mouth continuously spat out dirty words, almost scolding all eighteen generations of Wang Rui's ancestors.

  Wang Rui didn't dare to utter any profanity, because behind him was the precipice with no bottom in sight. He feared that if he provoked Zhao Qian, Zhao's anger would get the better of him and he would really push Wang over.

  "Yang Chen! Brother Yang Chen, Brother Yang Chen, save me! Save me! Hurry up and save me!"

  Wang Rui looked at Zhao Qian's crazed expression and knew that no matter how he explained, Zhao wouldn't listen. The most crucial thing now was to save his own life, so he finally spoke up and begged Yang Chen, who had been watching from the side.

  Yang Chen listened to Wang Ruiqi's pleading voice, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

  "You stinky brat, you won't even kill those two people, are you planning to go save him instead?" Zan Yunzi looked at Yang Chen who had fallen into deep thought and hastily reminded him: "Don't forget how they treated you!"

  Yang Chen thought back to all that Wang Rui had done for him, and suddenly made a decision in his heart. He took a deep breath, stood still where he was, and didn't make any move.

  According to his previous character, he would definitely go to save Wang Rui, but since coming to the Tian Dao Gate, he has encountered so many injustices, which have made his originally simple and kind heart begin to change subconsciously.

  Zan Yunzi looked at Yang Chen's appearance and said with satisfaction: "This is almost it!"

  Zhao Qian looked at Yang Chen without coming up, with a cold smile, his face ferociously turned to Wang Rui and said in a tone full of killing intent: "You won't say it? Good! Very good! You have guts! I see you don't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

  As he said this, Zhao Qian deliberately pushed Wang Rui towards the back a little.

  Wang Rui took a glance at the bottomless cliff behind him, scaring out a cold sweat, and hastily grabbed Zhao Qian's hand, with a pleading face saying: "Qian Ge, Qian Ge, it really wasn't me who took it! It really wasn't me who took it! You have to believe me!"

  Zhao's face twisted into a sinister smile as he said, "Fine! Fine! Don't say it's unfair! Then go die!"

  At this moment, a cracking sound came from the stone under Wang Rui's feet.

  Right after that, before everyone could react, the stone under Wang Rui's feet directly separated from the cliff and fell down. However, Wang Rui standing on the stone naturally also escaped the falling fate.

  However, Wang Rui did not fall directly, but grabbed Zhao Qian's sleeve and immediately let out a fearful cry for help.

  However, Zhao Qian's sleeve had already been torn in some places due to the earlier tug-of-war with Wang Rui, and now it was on the verge of being completely ripped apart.

  A loud ripping sound, before everyone could react, Zhao Qian's sleeve was directly torn open, Wang Rui let out a miserable cry and fell straight down the cliff...

  Yang Chen was stunned instantly, he didn't think Wang Rui would actually fall down.

  "Good riddance! Good riddance! Haha!"

  Zhao Qian's face was stunned as he looked down at the cliff, his heart shocked beyond measure. In fact, he just wanted to scare Wang Rui a bit and get him to return the Jiqi Dan to himself. But he never expected that Wang Rui would actually fall from here. The cliff was bottomless, and for an ordinary person like Wang Rui, falling from here meant certain death with no chance of survival.

  Actually, if it were two days ago, Wang Rui might not have died from falling down here because he still had the token given to him when he became an apprentice, which could save him three times. However, due to yesterday's events, Zhao Qian has already taken away his token, saying it would be held as collateral until the Gathering Spirit Dan is found and returned to him. Who knew that today such a thing would happen.

  Yang Chen was the first to react, staring at Zhao Qian who was still in a daze, silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and turned around to walk away into the distance.

  Now, Yang Chen didn't want to say anything more to Zhao Qian, because he understood that in the Tiandao Sect, being a registered disciple was a lowly position, but even so, they were still human. Now that it had escalated into a matter of life and death, even if Zhao Qian's cousin was Liu Feng, the sect wouldn't just let it go like that. After all, Zhao Qian was only a registered disciple, and there was no need for the Tiandao Sect to tarnish its reputation over one such person!

  So Zhao Qian will inevitably be punished by the sect, either being expelled from the sect or paying with his life!

  Yang Chen did not directly return to his residence, but instead found a relatively empty place to sit down and calm down.

  "Stinky brat, are you feeling sad for that person who fell off the cliff earlier?" The puzzled voice of Can Yunzi directly appeared in Yang Chen's mind.

  Yang Chen took a deep breath and then let it out, saying with emotion: "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but he died because of me!"

  Zi Yunzi coldly snorted and said, "What kind of twisted logic is this? If you killed someone, then it's your fault. If you didn't kill them, then it's not your fault! Whose fault can his death be blamed on? If anyone's to blame, it's only himself! In fact, he got off easy and didn't suffer much before dying!"

  He paused for a moment and continued, "When you are ready to embark on the path of cultivation, you should have the awareness of death. In the world of cultivation, it's either you kill him or he kills you. If you have a kind heart and don't want to take lives, then why cultivate immortality? Why pursue the Tao? You might as well become a monk."

  Yang Chen listened to Can Yunzi's words, remained silent for a moment, nodded in agreement, and a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. "You're right! This world is indeed like this. I won't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren wants to kill me. For the sake of my own life, why should I still be soft-hearted?"

  At this moment, Yang Chen suddenly became enlightened!

  This is an enlightenment of human nature, an enlightenment of the world!

  Zhu Yunzi smiled in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, very good! With this kind of enlightenment, you can ensure that your lifespan will be longer on the path of cultivation!"
