However, on the other hand, if the other side were to actually succeed in turning Shen Jianxin into a poisonous person through scheming and trickery, it wouldn't be impossible for the various sect leaders to imagine such a scenario.
It is known that the stronger the power of the person being refined, the greater the power of the poisonous human created! Thinking of this, everyone felt a little uneasy.
The World Under One Person
"Holy crap!! These guys are really daring, turning Shen Jianxin into a poison man?! There's absolutely no need for that..." Wang Ye's brain was racing at this moment.
Perhaps Wu Menggui had this idea in mind, but Assassins' purpose was definitely not that! If that were all, Assassins would have no reason to keep fabricating news of Shen Jianxin performing chivalrous deeds in various parts of the Central Plains martial arts world.
Furthermore, he instructed Wu Menggui not to harm him in the slightest and kept a close eye on Shen Jianxin's whereabouts.
Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness
Yu Rui, who is hailed as one of the three wise men in the world, also noticed something unusual from the perspective of an outsider.
"Their goal seems to be to lure Shen Jianxin back to the Central Plains and then keep him occupied."
Whether it was Assassins transforming Shen Jianxin into a peerless hero or directly informing him of the news about the Heart-Piercing Lotus, their purpose seemed to be to stall Shen Jianxin!
"Then, what is the Assassins' purpose in keeping Shen Jianxin occupied in the Central Plains?!" Li Wangsheng's eyes flickered as he looked at Yu Rui, who was deep in thought.
"Qingshui Island, Shen Jianxin... Fuqiu... Immortal Fruit!!" Yu Rui was suddenly startled. She felt that she had vaguely guessed the truth. The Assassins' elaborate scheme was actually a diversionary tactic!
Seeing the sect leaders below suddenly become somewhat worried, Li Wangsheng glanced around and said, "Sect leaders, I know what you're worried about, but instead of delaying yourselves, you should think about how to deal with the mastermind behind the poison incident."
Dongfang Yuxuan shook his head and sighed: "Perhaps it's too late. You shouldn't have let him go down the mountain to poison people when he returned to Mount Hua."
"What connection does he have with the Poison Man? Even if he does, he's the one who eradicated the Poison Man." Li Wangsheng's tone was resolute, devoid of his usual playful demeanor.
"Esteemed sect leaders, Shen Jianxin is a member of the Chunyang Sect. As the sect leader, I will handle this personally. After you return, please keep a close eye on the progress of the poison incident."
Asking for flowers
"The image of the Chunyang Sect Leader in my mind suddenly became much more impressive. The Sect Leader is the one who truly understands Shen Jianxin and trusts him unconditionally!"
Li Wangsheng publicly declared in front of all the major sects that he could vouch for Shen Jianxin! He single-handedly shielded Shen Jianxin from the attacks of the sect leaders.
[On the other side, Shen Jianxin appeared in the woods, his figure becoming unsteady. Looking around, he found everything so eerie!]
Shen Jianxin walked through the forest and found coconut trees. Then, staring blankly at the thatched hut that appeared ahead, he realized that he had somehow reappeared on Qingshui Island, and that he was wearing the same clothes he had worn when he left the island.
Shen Jianxin, standing outside, noticed that Song Qiyu had woken up sometime earlier and was sitting there doing embroidery. Shen Jianxin quickly ran inside.
To his horror, he found Song Qiyu still lying in bed as before, but then a familiar laugh made him turn around and see Song Qiyu, who had been lying in bed, playing with the children.
[The scene shifts again, all the scenery shatters, and Shen Jianxin falls blindfolded into the starry sky, before returning to reality.]
Shen Jianxin lay asleep with his eyes closed, his upper body naked on the icy bed, his body covered in red and black patterns, surrounded by the Heart-Piercing Lotus he had been searching for!
The screen is now flashing back to the previous scene; it turns out it was all an illusion!
"Is this an illusion!? But it's more like a demon in his heart than an illusion! Saving Song Qiyu has become his obsession."
Seeing this sudden change, the people watching the video felt a strange sense of fear. They couldn't tell if it was an illusion or a manifestation of their inner demons! But they knew that the Heart-Piercing Lotus was the key to creating the Poison Man…
"However, judging from the method, it should be the work of the Assassins, not Wu Menggui…!" (Read exciting novels on Feilu Novel Network!)
As people gradually came to understand the Assassins' style of doing things, they concluded that he was mysterious, sophisticated, and powerful—it had to be him.
P.S.: Happy New Year everyone! I haven't been able to update as often lately, as I've been quite busy during the holidays. If all goes well, the next chapter will conclude the Shen Jianxin arc! It's also the most exciting part of the third season...
Chapter 195 The person you want to kill can't be killed, and the person you want to save can't be saved.
At this moment, the *Andrographis paniculata* near the cold bed was growing wildly, its roots gradually covering his entire body. Shen Jianxin, who had been keeping his eyes closed, frowned, seemingly in pain.
Assassin descended from the upper level and approached Shen Jianxin. As his long fingernails gently traced the lotus blossoms, they all bloomed without exception.
Assassin clenched his fist and placed it above Shen Jianxin. Blood then dripped from his hand onto Shen Jianxin's body. Shen Jianxin regained consciousness and opened his bloodshot eyes.
Shen Jianxin's eyes, filled with hatred, met Assassin's, then with a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, he grabbed Assassin's neck.
"This doesn't seem like the previous poisoner. Considering his past experiences and the constantly flashing images, it's not an exaggeration to say that Assassins wanted to drive Shen Jianxin completely mad!"
"Could this be the side effect of Andrographis paniculata, which is why the Assassins wanted to use it to deal with Shen Jianxin!"
Although Assassin was defeated by Shen Jianxin with a single punch in the previous battle at Maple Valley, no one dared to underestimate him. Whether it was Assassin's ability to manipulate public opinion at will or his wisdom in seeing through people's hearts and taking every step carefully!
When Shen Jianxin returned to the mountain to seal his sword, everyone saw him recount his three years of seclusion on Qingshui Island, and the scenes that flashed through his mind already showed signs of him going astray.
Meanwhile, the Deyue Tower was surrounded by soldiers from the Tiance Prefecture. The leaders of the various sects arrived, and the two holy maidens in red showed no fear, instead appearing as if they had expected it: "Sect leaders, we have been waiting for you for quite some time."
[With a flute melody, spider silk had already tightly wrapped around their necks. Qu Yun put down the flute and looked at the stealth spider in her hand: "Shen Jianxin isn't here at all. My stealth spider has searched the entire Deyue Tower."]
Li Wangsheng gestured for Qu Yun to remain silent, his face darkening as a surge of powerful internal energy erupted from his body, forming a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern behind him. He then grabbed a spider silk thread and demanded in a deep voice, "Where is my disciple, Shen Jianxin?!"
Looking at the terrifying Li Wangsheng, the other saintess remained calm and smiled, saying, "Hero Shen is already at the headquarters of Lake Link Network. We will lead the sect leaders there!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wangsheng suppressed his anger and released his grip on the spider silk.
"Sect Leader Li is absolutely stunning! He's been acting so unserious for so long, I never expected him to stay this handsome ever since he came down from the mountain."
Those watching the video couldn't help but admire Li Wangsheng's genuine care for his disciple; this was the first time they had seen him so angry since the video began airing.
Don't forget that Li Wangsheng has a very clear understanding of human nature in this martial arts world. He understands that Shen Jianxin has now been completely pushed to the opposite side by the Red-Clothed Sect, which is why he is so angry.
"The sect leaders could easily take our lives, but this is the heart of Chang'an! Today is a grand celebration, and a hundred thousand people have gathered here." As the two holy maidens spoke, a curtain was drawn back, revealing a gigantic, poisonous human head before the crowd.
[Echo turned to the Poison Man and continued, "The Poison Man before you is already in a sealed state. I implore the sect leaders to show mercy."]
The Legend of Qin
"That sounds nice, but it's just a blatant threat," Li Xingyun said resentfully. This meant they were treating all the people of Chang'an as hostages! No wonder they seemed so emboldened.
Zhang Zifan was puzzled: "How did the Red-Clothed Sect manage to transport such a large poisonous person here so quietly?"
As the center of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an must have been surrounded by Tang soldiers, and there should have been strict searches when entering and leaving the city!
The fact that the Assassins were able to hide such a huge poisoner in Deyue Tower so quietly suggests that the situation is probably more complex than imagined.
Qin's Moon: The Nine Songs of the Sky
"So one of the reasons they portrayed Shen Jianxin as a great hero was to distract the entire martial arts world, allowing the Red-Clothed Sect to take action!" Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Zi Nu slowly revealed her conjecture to everyone.
"Furthermore, the previous framing of the Poison Man was all the work of the Five Poisons Sect! Even if it is discovered, they can simply push the blame onto the Five Poisons Sect."
What a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone, directly ensnaring the entire martial arts world.
On the other side, Assassin, whose neck was being choked, smirked and gestured to those around him as he looked at Shen Jianxin: "Do you like it? These were all prepared for you."
[The only response was Shen Jianxin's clenched hands, red internal energy emanating from his body, instantly crushing the Assassin before him into pieces!]
However, Shen Jianxin found himself in a sea of piercing lotus flowers, and Assassin's figure reappeared before him. Shen Jianxin watched as his trembling right hand emitted red power, then with a flash, he unleashed a punch. This time, Assassin transformed into a stone wall.
"You think you can hide in this illusion and I can't kill you?!" Shen Jianxin turned to look at the Assassin who had reappeared behind him.
“Indeed, its effects aren’t quite realistic, but can you bear the bloody reality?” The Assassin’s androgynous voice sounded eerily strange within the illusion.
Shen Jianxin charged forward again, but this time Assassin transformed into Song Qiyu's appearance, forcing Shen Jianxin to stop, his pupils slightly trembling.
"Haha, Master Shen! The person you want to kill, you can't kill; the person you want to save, you can't save." The Assassins' words filled the entire space, and the scene changed accordingly!
"Now you are the center of this martial world. All the karmic entanglements started because of you. Becoming a god is impossible. Reincarnating as a human is also impossible! You can't save anyone."
The illusion returned to the sea of lotus blossoms piercing the heart. Slightly shaken, Shen Jianxin threw another punch, but it was still to no avail; it was as if the Assassins were the true rulers of this space. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novels!)
The old master of Under One Person frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He had already figured out what the Assassins were trying to do!
"The Assassins only wanted to use sophistry to drive Shen Jianxin into madness. What appeared in the illusion were Shen Jianxin's most painful memories."
In this space, everything Shen Jianxin did was in vain. Assassin could be said to have become his inner demon or external demon, guiding Shen Jianxin and promoting his own ideas.
Therefore, through various means of guidance, he wanted to bring Shen Jianxin into his camp and pass on his ideals.
Assassin appeared behind Shen Jianxin and continued to guide him: "You're wrong. It wasn't the Heart-Breaking Lotus that led you astray, but rather your own loss of direction. It was this that led me to the Heart-Breaking Lotus!"
"Have you ever wondered why you were so unsettled and your internal energy was disrupted on Floating Hill Island? It was because you taught me how to use the Heart-Piercing Lotus against you."
The scene shifts to Shen Jianxin sitting cross-legged before the Heavenly Sword, meditating, with the Heart-Piercing Lotus appearing prominently before him!
Shen Jianxin clearly wouldn't listen, slamming his fist into the ground. He continued his relentless attacks on Assassin!
The scene before them made everyone suddenly realize that the so-called Heart-Piercing Lotus was actually a product of Shen Jianxin's cultivation!
As expected, everything that happened before was Assassins' way of luring Shen Jianxin into their trap.
But how did the Assassins know about these things on Fuqiu Island? It seemed as if Shen Jianxin's every move was firmly in the Assassins' hands.
The name of the person
"No way, even someone as strong as Master Shen can't beat Assassins?!" In Wu Liuqi's hair salon on Chicken Island, Wu Liuqi stared blankly at the screen and expressed his doubts.
Watching Shen Jianxin continue his attacks in the illusion, Lanminghua, with a deadpan expression, revealed the reason: "The reason why we can't beat him is actually quite simple. Before, Shen Jianxin had nothing but his yearning for chivalry. The Assassins couldn't do anything about him."
"But now that he has something to worry about, he can no longer act freely without desires!"
This guy named Assassin is really something; in order to deal with Shen Jianxin, he's practically dragged the entire martial arts world into his scheme.
Chapter 196 If there is an afterlife, I will never enter this world again!
"I came to find you without regard for life or death. Whether it's the poisoner or the heart-piercing lotus, it all started because of you. We must settle this once and for all." Shen Jianxin had long since disregarded life and death, or rather, he had been prepared for it all along.
"As you wish!" With Assassin's words, a sudden surge of seawater appeared behind Shen Jianxin, engulfing the two of them. They then appeared on the surface of the sea above Floating Hill Island!
"In this world, whether royalty or commoners, everyone yearns for immortality. The Divine Fruit greatly increases one's power, granting eternal life!"
"If everyone in the martial arts world knew about such an extraordinary item, have you considered the consequences for Qingshui Island and Fuqiu Island?"
At this point, Assassin's demeanor suddenly changed. Pointing at Shen Jianxin, he said with absolute certainty, "No!! Of course you thought about it! That's why you've remained on Qingshui Island for years."
