The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 55: Following the Way of Heaven and Acting as a Hegemon

"Just when you were feeling unsatisfied, Ning Daoqi came knocking on your door again, thus defeating you. Moreover, when you escaped, unlike before, you already had a family, a wife and a daughter. When you didn't pursue Ning Daoqi, I guessed that you were considering Bi Xiuxin's face."

Xi Mingzhang sighed:
"In this situation, you who always look down on others would never allow yourself to be under the protection of a woman, even if this person is your wife. You choose to leave again."

"If you say that I left this time because I realized my own shortcomings and wanted to fill some flaws in my mental skills, then I am underestimating you."

"You just want to prove your great talent to both the righteous and evil ways, and to the whole world. You also want to prove to your beloved wife that being Shi Zhixuan's wife is something you can be extremely proud of."

"So, you left behind the peerless martial art "Immortal Seal", which is able to control both the righteous and evil ways. Because you think this item is the most valuable and the most recognizable, you gave it to me as the best gift a husband can give to his wife."

"Then you became an official, managing the Western Regions for the Sui Dynasty. Within a few years, you formed alliances and gained great power throughout the world."

"He also used his own successful experience in managing the Western Regions to persuade Emperor Yang of Sui to adopt a gamble-like method, intending to mobilize the entire country's military force to make a magnificent declaration, rather than forcing Goguryeo to surrender without bloodshed."

"If we win, the world will be at peace and the war will cease. By then, the Sui Dynasty will have won over the Mohe, pacified the Khitan, and attracted Baekje and Silla. Goguryeo will be fighting alone, and victory will be just around the corner."

"Looking at the overall situation, most of what you did was not for the world to see. You just wanted your beloved wife to see it. She was always thinking about how to bring peace to the world, so you brought back a prosperous era for her with all nations paying tribute."

"It's a pity that this glorious expedition, which was supposed to be a great success, has suddenly become a farce that has been laughed at by the world."

"Years of hard work were destroyed in an instant. You must understand the principle that winners are kings and losers are bandits. Even if you are a proud and stubborn person, when you encounter such a situation, the first thought that comes to your mind is probably to go home."

"At home, there will be someone who understands you, and there will be a heart that understands you."

"But when I returned home, I was greeted by a daughter with eyes full of resentment and a cold grave."

"From then on, everyone thought that the Evil King was crazy, and the people in Cihang Jingzhai also thought that you were possessed, which was why they were so afraid of Ning Daoqi."

Xi Mingzhang glanced at Shi Zhixuan, who already had a sinister look on his face:
"I am the only one who understands that you are never afraid of anyone in the world, but you are afraid to face yourself."

"After learning of Bi Xiuxin's death, you should have been possessed by the Butian Pavilion's mental method, and never again be moved by any worldly emotions. However, due to the existence of Shi Qingxuan, you are the only witness to the story between you and Bi Xiuxin that ever truly existed in this world."

"Whenever I think of her or see her, it constantly touches upon some past events in my heart that I should have forgotten."

He said leisurely:

"When I left, the willow trees were swaying. Now I come back, it is raining and snowing."

"Master Shi, even if you get the evil emperor's relic in Yang Gong's treasure house under this bridge and restore your power, what can you do?"

"Your heart and your emotions cannot allow you to reach the highest level of martial arts in the world. The reason is that you have never seen through it from the beginning to the end."

"If you can see through the word love, you will definitely not go astray and split into two sides, because martial arts are created by humans, so how can humans be controlled by martial arts?"

"To this day, you have not recovered, but there is still something pent up in your heart. You don't want to forget, and you don't want to forget. You have a mixture of hatred and love in your heart, and you can't forget, so you have been standing still."

Xi Mingzhang's mind moved, and an aura that made people's hair stand on end and kept silent enveloped Shi Zhixuan.

"You want to obtain the evil emperor's relic, not to use the essence of the evil emperors of all generations contained in the relic to improve your skills, but to use the ruthless and fierce energy in the essence of these peerless evil demons, which is like the ruthless and fierce spirits of millions of wronged souls seeking their lives, to promote the unity of the two sides of yourself.

"That is, use the so-called evil side to devour the good side. However, you will eventually find that the good and evil are just your heart at work. Even if the two sides merge into one, what can it do?" "No matter how hard you try to forget, there are some things and some people that will still stubbornly remain in your heart and will never go away."

In an instant, Shi Zhixuan's expression kept changing, and the aura around him kept rising and falling.

But in just a few breaths, his aura began to show signs of perfection, and he exuded an extraordinary, indescribable elegance, a carefree and unrestrained demeanor, and a faint evil aura permeated through him.

"Master Shi, with your character, even if I gave you the 'Great Dao Heart Demon Planting Method', I'm afraid you would go even further. You must know that the heart and the demon seed are closely related to one's own state of mind. Therefore, I let you restore your power, which can be regarded as repaying your two years of teaching."

When Xi Mingzhang's figure was about to disappear like a bubble, he suddenly raised his head and said softly:
"For some reason, I feel that there is a deep malice in the world."

He shook his head with a smile and disappeared from the spot, leaving Shi Zhixuan standing there with a complicated look in his eyes.

I just felt that the little monk who sat under me in the past had a better state of mind. He felt a sense of ethereal existence and transcendence of this world, as well as an extraordinary sense of being in harmony with its light and dust, being untainted by the mud, and being among the secular world without being tainted by the red dust.

Suddenly, a sentence appeared in Shi Zhixuan's mind:

"Without any worries, everything can be killed."

half a month later.

Emperor steps on the peak.

Xi Mingzhang passed through the seven gates as if he was in an empty space. He relaxed his senses a little and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise as he felt a Taoist energy mixed with Buddhist nature.

"The people of Cihang Jingzhai are really stubborn and ignorant. Why can't they follow their hearts like the Zen Master Jingnian? I really don't want to kill women."

When his voice spread far and wide, it alarmed everyone and attracted them to come out.

Among the disciples led by Fan Qinghui, there was an old man with a tall hat and a wide belt, five long beards, an elegant and simple face, and a thick brocade robe, which made his figure, which was already taller than that of an ordinary man, look even more majestic like a mountain.

At this time, Shi Feixuan raised the Color and Sky Sword, quickly leaped out from a pavilion, and landed next to Fan Qinghui.

"Wuchang, you have practiced Zen and worshipped Buddha for decades, but have you learned to become bloodthirsty and lawless?" Fan Qinghui said sternly.

Xi Mingzhang turned a deaf ear and said slowly:
"Everyone, do you know what an old friend is?"

"The so-called old friends are those who should not appear in your life."

As soon as these words were spoken, a red dot appeared between Shi Feixuan's eyebrows on her beautiful face, which was as pretty as a fairy.

"Feixuan!"

Fan Qinghui quickly supported Master Feixuan's falling body, but immediately found that the disciple he had taught was already dead.

"The whole sect is following the Way of Heaven and doing what Heaven does. Very good!" Xi Mingzhang said slowly:

"So today, I will follow the will of heaven and kill your entire family. This is a retribution, a cycle of cause and effect."
