Chapter 43: Sun Yuan Discusses Righteousness, Chen Lixue's Nine Yang

  "Haha, I now have nothing, the righteous alliance I worked hard to build has been taken over by others. What else do I have to fear? Death, I used to be afraid of it, but not anymore. I even want to go to the King of Hell and file a complaint! Chen Li had an expression like a dead pig not fearing boiling water, meaning if you want to make a move, hurry up, I'm still in a rush!"

  "You're quite an arrogant little thing, but how do you know you can plead your case once you arrive at the underworld? As the saying goes, 'The gate of the yamen faces south; if you have a good case but no money, don't come in.' Do you think only the gates of the yamen in the world above face south?" The mountain god sneered and stopped moving forward, his footsteps coming to a halt, but the mud on his body scattered even more wildly.

  "Is the King of Hell also this kind of person? Is there no justice in this world?" Chen Li's face, which had been expressionless, suddenly changed, like a rabbit whose tail had been set on fire, and he jumped up, shouting excitedly.

  "Hmph, justice naturally exists, but that depends on who's talking about justice!" The mountain god statue let out a cold snort. "You're too naive, haven't you heard the saying 'heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs'? Justice is only something the strong can enjoy. For someone like you, a lowly commoner, do you think the King of Hell would even bother to discuss justice with you? As the saying goes, 'it's easy to deal with the King of Hell, but hard to deal with his underlings!' You think you can meet the King of Hell? Dream on!"

  "You, you, you! I don't believe it, is there nowhere in this world where reason can be spoken? Chen Li's face suddenly turned bright red, and for a moment he was speechless."

  "Ah, yes! How could it not be?! As long as you have a strong fist and a heart of justice, this is the place for reasoning, wherever you go, everywhere is a place for reasoning, whether in the mortal world, or in the underworld, or even in the heavenly court!" The mountain god statue said with profound meaning.

  "What's the point of telling me all this, I don't have anything on me that's worth your envy!" A glint of light flashed in Chen Li's eyes, only to dim down immediately. It wasn't until now that he remembered that not just in the underworld or heavenly court, but even among ordinary people, his fists weren't big enough.

  "Hmph, you indeed have nothing worthy of my attention, but coincidentally, I and you share the same temperament. My fists are weak in other places, but if it's among mortals, then they're not ordinary at all. All along, whether in the immortal realm or elsewhere, the fairness and justice I've pursued have been nonexistent. Tonight, I happened to be passing by and coincidentally heard your lofty ambitions, so I spent some divine energy to manifest my physical form and wanted to lend you a helping hand." The mountain god said in a deep voice.

  "Are you going to help me?" Chen Li's face lit up with excitement. "Are you going to impart your immortal techniques to me?"

  "No, no, no. Once you learn the immortal's method, you won't be considered an ordinary person anymore. At that time, you'll find that there are too many powerful people in this world, and your fist is really too small. The fairness you pursue is just a fleeting cloud. Therefore, you can't learn the immortal's method. You can only study mortal martial arts. As long as you don't exceed certain limits, at least you can maintain a bit of integrity within a certain range." The mountain god said with a shake of his head.

  "Is that so! I don't have those martial arts manuals, only a Purple Air Decision, but it's already been snatched away by someone else!" Chen Li said dejectedly, hanging his head.

  "You don't have it, but I do! Over the years, I've collected some things that are useless to people at our level, but they're just right for you. As long as you master them, taking back the Righteous Alliance will be a piece of cake."

  "To help you master the Orthodox Alliance as soon as possible, I have sent an assistant to assist you. The martial arts secret book you want is on him. Today, I have stayed here for too long, and this is not my jurisdiction, so I must leave. You should take care of yourself." With a flick of his sleeve, the illusion disappeared without a trace, and Chen Li blinked to find that the mountain god statue had returned to its original position. The place was just like before, as if nothing had happened.

  "Hey, hey, don't go! Where's that assistant?" Chen Li rubbed his eyes and after finding out that the mountain god had indeed vanished into thin air, he stomped his foot loudly and shouted, his anxious tone evident in his words.

  "Stop yelling, kid. The mountain god has already left. These nights are not peaceful, and there are several monsters that come to hunt at night. If you want to die, keep shouting." A somewhat strange voice came from behind the statue of the mountain god. Chen Li looked carefully and saw a person wearing a black cloak walking out of the darkness.

  "Are you the messenger of the mountain god?" Chen Li took a big jump back two steps, startled by Sun Yuan's sudden appearance, and then reacted, asking somewhat hesitantly.

  "Nonsense, or do you think I'm something else? If I were a monster, I would have eaten you up long ago and wouldn't be standing here talking to you?" Sun Yuan walked out of the corner and into the main hall of the mountain temple, saying "Since it's the mountain god's order, I won't decline. Come over, I'll pass on to you a martial arts secret manual. This manual is called the Nine Yang True Classic, an extremely powerful manual that is many times more powerful than your Purple Air Decision."

  This set of Nine Yang True Classics was created by Sun Yuan in just a few minutes, after he had achieved the level of You Dan. According to legend from his past life, Sun Yuan easily created this secret method for absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The true energy produced by this secret method is much lower than that of demonic power and immortal power, which is what martial artists call internal energy.

  The Jiu Yang Zhen Jing is a technique that specializes in absorbing yang-attributed spiritual energy. If practiced to the highest level, the practitioner can ignite a pile of dry wood with just one palm strike, which is quite impressive. In the world of martial arts, it's considered an ultimate technique. Therefore, for Chen Li, this secret method is the most suitable.

  "Then tell me!" Chen Li showed a hint of excitement, regardless of whether it was true or false. He didn't seem to have anything to lose, and with this secret recipe, he had another hope after all. So Chen Li's attitude was very cooperative.

  As soon as Sun Yuan finished speaking, Chen Li immediately sat down cross-legged, concentrated his mind and showed a listening expression. He wanted to seize this opportunity well, otherwise he would regret it later.

  Nowadays, he still insists on a thread of justice, but the way of execution has changed. Nowadays, he is more willing to use his fists to maintain this thread of righteousness, rather than so-called morality. At this moment, Chen Liyi heard the name of Jiuyang Zhenjing and knew that this set of martial arts was not to be underestimated. He urgently wanted to become stronger and naturally sought it out.
