My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 918 Implicated, Tracing Back (Part Two)

Liu Ruyin stood at the door of the private room, her fingers clenching slightly, and hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

She looked at Shen Changchuan by the window—the young man was much taller and more upright than he had been three years ago, and his eyes revealed a calm demeanor.

But it reminded her of the ruthless and decisive way he had killed Sun Butong.

"Thank you, senior, for your help."

She bowed with her hands clasped in greeting, appearing somewhat reserved.

Although Shen Changchuan had saved her life twice.

But actually,

They had only met twice.

In terms of their relationship, the two are really not that close yet.

Shen Changchuan gestured for her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and pushed it towards her, his voice calm and gentle:

"I might not even be older than you, so there's no need to call me senior."

"Senior is joking. As the saying goes, those who are capable should be respected. Those who are capable naturally deserve the respect of others. To make a fuss about age is nothing more than someone who takes advantage of their age."

"With the strength of a senior, one naturally deserves the respect of others."

Liu Ruyin quickly spoke up.

She dared not be presumptuous in front of such a master.

See here,

Shen Changchuan did not insist.

He paused, then looked at the other person with piercing eyes:

"I just overheard you arguing with the Beggars' Sect. It seems the Six Harmonies Sect has been implicated because of what happened to me back then?"

Liu Ruyin's fingertips trembled, and she almost spilled the tea.

She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and after a long while said:

“Since Young Master Shen already knows… that’s right. When Sun Butong died, my two senior brothers and I were present. As a result, some people in the Beggars’ Sect believed that Sun Butong’s death was related to the Six Harmonies Sect. Although there was no concrete evidence, they repeatedly made things difficult for us. To avoid trouble, my father temporarily ordered Senior Brother Ye to close the Ye Family Martial Arts School, and I was also ordered to return to the mountain to go into seclusion.”

She gave a bitter smile.
There were some things she didn't say, but some people in the Beggars' Sect actually knew that it had nothing to do with their Six Harmonies Sect.

After all, even with their strength back then, they couldn't have killed Sun Butong.

Moreover, judging from the injuries on Sun Butong's body and the signs of battle, anyone with a bit of experience could deduce the scene of the battle.
The problem is, since they couldn't find Shen Changchuan, the Beggars' Sect could only blame the women who were present at the time.

Especially later, after Shen Changchuan left, she brought the abducted children and the disabled children to Senior Brother Ye's martial arts school and publicly displayed them to everyone.

Such actions, which should have been self-defense, aroused great dissatisfaction within the Beggars' Sect.

The Beggars' Sect considered that it was a smear against them.

to this end,

Over the years, the Liuhe Sect has been suppressed by the Beggars' Sect.

However, Liu Ruyin couldn't say these things out loud, lest the senior in front of her think that she was shifting the responsibility for the suppression of the Six Harmonies Sect over the years onto the other party.

"Rumors are circulating in the martial arts world that the Beggars' Clan's branches have been repeatedly raided. A demon has used an unknown demonic art to control and seize many of the Beggars' Clan's martial arts manuals, causing a great upheaval."

"Now the Beggars' Clan is calling on friends and launching attacks everywhere, trying to find that demon. Amid such turmoil, some members of the Beggars' Clan want to take this opportunity to settle their grudges with the Six Harmonies Sect. We are also grateful for the senior's help; otherwise, if I had been captured by them, I fear my father would have been implicated."

Between talking,

Liu Ruyin's pretty face showed some resentment.

To deal with the opposing demon, the Beggars' Sect launched a series of major operations across various regions.

Under the cover of these major actions, dealing with a small Liuhe faction would not cause too much of a stir or attract too much attention, making it undoubtedly the best opportunity!

For the Six Harmonies faction,

This was undoubtedly an undeserved disaster.

The Beggars' Sect's actions were perhaps too domineering and unfair.

But what can we do about it?

The martial arts world is ultimately a world where martial arts reign supreme!

As the number one gang in the world, they are incredibly powerful. Their leader, a Grandmaster, is unparalleled in strength and would be a respected guest wherever he goes.

Even the ruler of a country must be treated with the highest honors.

In addition, his followers also have a wide circle of friends, with friends all over the world.

A tiny Liuhe faction,

Even if someone is domineering and unreasonable, what can you do? You don't even have a place to seek justice, and no one will listen to your cries for redress.

Liu Ruyin's face showed a helpless expression.

And upon hearing her words,
At this moment, Shen Changchuan's brows also furrowed tightly.

"It seems that your Six Harmonies Sect has truly suffered an undeserved calamity, and I have implicated you."

"No, no, no, how could you say that, senior?"

Liu Ruyin quickly shook her head:
"Back then, my two senior brothers and I were young and naive, and we ventured into that demonic cave outside Nanyang County. If it weren't for your rescue that day, young master, we would probably be dead by now!"

"Furthermore, the Beggars' Sect acts tyrannically, which has nothing to do with you, senior."

"Rather than saying that our senior implicated our Six Harmonies Sect, it's more accurate to say that the Beggars' Sect did something inhumane."

Regarding Shen Changchuan,
Liu Ruyin felt only gratitude and had no intention of taking her anger out on others.

In fact, this is also true,
Rather than attributing the suppression of the Six Harmonies Sect to Shen Changchuan,

It would be more accurate to say that the Beggars' Clan was arrogant and domineering, acting recklessly and without restraint.

Liu Ruyin would not blame anyone else.

"In any case, all of this is largely due to the fact that they couldn't find me."

Shen Changchuan shook his head.

Leaving aside the fact that what happened in the courtyard outside Nanyang County city involved them...
Unexpectedly, the commotion he had caused during this period still affected the other party and the Six Harmonies Sect.

This left Shen Changchuan speechless.

Could it be that the Six Harmonies Sect possesses some kind of innate scapegoat body?
“My name is Shen Changchuan. If any members of the Beggars’ Sect come looking for you about this matter in the future, you can tell them my name and let them come to me.”

"I'd really like to see what this so-called number one gang in the world is capable of."

Shen Changchuan spoke calmly.
They carried a sense of not only no fear of this so-called number one gang in the world, but also a subtle feeling of eagerness to try their luck.

Because of my own affairs, I've dragged other innocent people into this mess.
He didn't like this feeling.

The Beggars' Sect, huh?
Shen Changchuan's eyes turned deep.

Liu Ruyin was stunned for a moment, then blinked.

For a moment, she almost couldn't resist offering him a cup of tea—inviting the big shot to have some tea.

A person with real strength exudes domineering presence!
but,

Considering the strength of the Beggars' Sect,

Furthermore, Shen Changchuan seems to come from some secret sect and has little contact with the outside world, so he may have limited access to information.

Liu Ruyin couldn't help but gently offer her advice:

"Senior is incredibly strong. In another ten or twenty years, he might become invincible."

"But the Beggars' Sect is still the largest sect in the world. Although it acts arbitrarily and domineeringly, it still has the strength to support its rampant tyranny."

"It is said that in addition to its leader Guo Jianglong, who is a top expert at the Grandmaster level, its four nine-bag elders are all senior Grandmasters at the Innate Realm. When the four of them join forces, they can even rival a Grandmaster. Their strength is simply unfathomable!"

"If you are going to confront the Beggars' Clan, you should be careful."

Shen Changchuan's strength,

She approves.

Several years ago, when he was just a kid, he easily killed Sun Butong, the five-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, all by himself.

Now that they meet again, the fact that the other party easily scared away those Beggar Clan disciples with just a few gestures undoubtedly shows that his strength has reached a new level.

But even so,

Liu Ruyin still didn't believe that Shen Changchuan could gain much advantage from those senior martial arts masters at the Innate Grandmaster level.

This wasn't because she looked down on Shen Changchuan, but because...

Shen Changchuan is far too young!

Given that the other party looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, even if they started practicing martial arts in the womb, they would only have fifteen or sixteen years of experience.

This is far too far from the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!
Even if they possess some mysterious martial arts techniques,
However, given the absolute disparity in strength, if the enemy uses brute force to overcome skill, relying on the seemingly inexhaustible true energy of the Innate Realm to forcefully break through that ingenious defense, there will be no chance of recovery!
In Liu Ruyin's view,

Shen Changchuan's future is very promising.

She didn't want the other person to go looking for death before they had even matured.

Shen Changchuan also understood the implication in Liu Ruyin's words.

But he didn't care.

The other party meant well.

However, it is a deduction based on one's own understanding and self-perception.

She was unaware that she was a split soul created from the main body, whose strength might even surpass that of the ascended beings of this world.

If I were a native of this world, perhaps due to the limitations of reality, I, at around ten years old, would indeed be no match for a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm who has accumulated years of experience.

But the problem is, I am not one of them!
For myself,

Those age restrictions, meridian and dantian limitations, and true qi limitations are not a problem at all.

After obtaining the Flowing Water Qigong, Shen Changchuan, with his powerful spiritual energy and keen perception of his own body, quickly opened up his eight extraordinary meridians and completed the circulation of Qi in his dantian according to the Qigong's instructions.

"Don't worry, I, Shen Changchuan, never do anything I'm not sure I can do."

Shen Changchuan remained calm.

"That's good."

"The Grandmaster of the Innate Realm is said to have already connected the two bridges of Heaven and Earth, and can maintain his true energy without exhaustion even after fighting for three days and three nights."

"Such an existence is truly unimaginable!"

"I wonder when I will be qualified to meet such a peerless master."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyin's face showed a look of emotion.

This is also why she felt indignant and helpless about the unreasonable suppression of herself and the Six Harmonies Sect by the Beggars' Sect, but not very angry.

The gap is really huge!

The Beggars' Sect only needed one Nine-Bag Elder to wipe out the entire Six Harmonies Sect.

After all, even Liu Zhenshan, the strongest leader of their Six Harmonies Sect, was only a top-tier expert in the martial arts world and had never reached the Innate Realm.

What's the point of being angry when there's such a gap?

That's all.

Instead of losing her fascination with the legendary innate masters, she admired them even more!

Only by reaching the level of a Grandmaster can one truly step into the top of the pyramid of the martial arts world!

"Perhaps it won't be long before you see it."

It seems to have sensed something.
Shen Changchuan paused, his hand still holding the teacup, before suddenly speaking.

"?"

Liu Ruyin looked at Shen Changchuan with a puzzled expression.

"coming!"

Shen Changchuan did not answer the other party's question, but suddenly spoke up.

Liu Ruyin was completely bewildered.
Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps and the clanging of weapons erupted downstairs, accompanied by loud shouts and chaos.

"what happened?"

Liu Ruyin glanced at Shen Changchuan, and seeing his calm and collected demeanor, she couldn't help but lean out the window to look down.

However, below, dozens of Beggars' Sect disciples quickly surrounded the entire Wangjiang Tower like wolves and tigers.

"not good!"

Liu Ruyin's expression changed drastically, and she quickly turned to look at Shen Changchuan, her voice urgent:

"Senior! Those Beggar Clan disciples have returned with a large force!"

"Let's run!"

The surrounding streets were instantly cleared, and the busybodies, roadside vendors, and even pedestrians who had gathered there all avoided it like the plague, retreating far away.

They only dared to watch from a distance, not daring to approach.

In a moment,

The area downstairs was packed with Beggar Clan members.

Meanwhile, each of those Beggars' Sect members walked with a steady gait, clearly indicating that they were all elite fighters with considerable skill.

Such a grand scene,

Even Liu Ruyin was seeing it for the first time!
"No rush, sit down."

Shen Changchuan, however, remained calm and leisurely, taking a sip of tea.

"Don't worry, they're probably here to see me, not to seek revenge from those guys earlier."

"Moreover, perhaps after today, your Six Harmonies Sect will be able to get rid of this trouble."

Shen Changchuan said with a meaningful tone.

Liu Ruyin was somewhat confused.
But at this time,

She didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, the sound grew closer and closer.

There was a loud bang,
The door to the private room was smashed open, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Shen Changchuan's face frowned slightly.
An invisible surge of true energy spread out, forming a three-foot-high wall of energy that blocked the impact of the smoke, dust, and wood chips outside the dining table.

at this time,

Through the damaged gate, one can see that

In the outer corridor, rows of robust and muscular Beggar Clan disciples with bulging temples, who looked like skilled fighters, lined up on both sides, forming a passageway.

Subsequently,

A burly, resolute-faced elderly man strode forward and entered through the pedestrian passageway.

He was dressed in a nine-sack hemp garment, his eyes were like lightning, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Lu Changhe, the Nine-Bag Elder of the Beggars' Sect!"

Liu Ruyin's face turned deathly pale, and her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

This is one of the four Nine-Bag Elders of the Beggars' Sect, a powerful expert at the Innate Grandmaster level who has been famous in the martial arts world for decades!
Such an existence,

Even his father, Liu Zhenshan, could only look up to him!
right now,

This legendary figure appeared right in front of her!

Behind Lu Changhe, more than twenty elite disciples of the Beggars' Sect filed in, surrounding the entire third floor.

They were all at least three-bag disciples, and three of them were five-bag elders in charge.

There were also other people who seemed to come from other factions.

"finally found you!"

The roar of the Lu Chang River was like a booming bell, causing the cups and plates inside the building to tremble slightly.

"They really know how to hide it!"

"A rat in a stinking ditch has cost me so much energy and so many favors!"

"Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to save you!"

Lu Changhe, the nine-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage, his eyes blazing with fury.

It seemed as if it wanted to tear Shen Changchuan to pieces and swallow him whole!
