Everyone was stunned by what they saw. They had heard of immortality before, but they never expected that Shen Jianxin would stay away for so many years to protect the peace of Qingshui Island.
I previously thought that Shen Jianxin had completely lost faith in the martial world, which was why he went into seclusion again! And also to find a way to save Song Qiyu!
"This Assassin has seen through Shen Jianxin so thoroughly, he knows everything about his behavior and way of thinking!"
Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness
"With unparalleled martial arts skills and immortality... if he were to become a poisoner, I'm afraid no one in this world would be able to do anything to Shen Jianxin!" The thing that Li Chengen of Tian Ce Mansion feared most has come to pass. This is a major event that can shake the martial arts world, and this secret is enough to drive the whole world into madness.
"I believe that sects, forces, and even independent individuals in this world will not let such an opportunity pass them by, and will all set sail to search for the so-called Floating Hill Island and Clear Water Island! The era of great pirates is about to begin."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding sect leaders all wore speechless expressions. What kind of time is this? Can't we be serious for once? The Great Pirate Era? I'm the Pirate King, aren't I?!
"But in any case, the most urgent task now is to dismantle the Red-Clothed Cult, which is why we are gathered here, isn't it?"
Li Wangsheng's words calmed the minds of the sect leaders. After all, this matter had not yet occurred, and the Red-Clothed Cult Assassins posed a great threat to the entire martial arts world!
The Assassins manipulate people's hearts. In the video, Shen Jianxin, who is 14 years old, has already entered the game in order to protect the secret of immortality on Qingshui Island. What Shen Jianxin has to face is people's obsession with immortality.
Shen Jianxin's face was grim, and the seawater beneath his feet began to ripple. He said resentfully, "My only target in returning to the Central Plains is you. From the moment you sent your men to Qingshui Island, I made up my mind."
Assassin remained unperturbed, closing his eyes and placing his hands behind his back: "I've prepared for you for three years. Of course I know what you're planning!"
"You want to erase all evil from this world. You want to stop the poison crisis, you want to seal away the secrets of Shimizu Island. But you can't do any of these things."
Assassin flipped his body, and the entire world began to spin. Shen Jianxin fell from the sky, was then pulled into the sea, and finally hung in the Heart-Piercing Lotus Sea.
A cloud of black energy emanated from Shen Jianxin's chest, struggling desperately, but to no avail.
Assassin slowly stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, and continued in his eerie voice, "What I gained after three years of meditation on Floating Hill Island is actually another kind of power."
"You think I led you astray? In truth, you've already gone mad."
When Shen Jianxin opened his eyes again, it was as if he had returned to the scene on Qingshui Island. The Heavenly Sword pierced towards him from the sky, then stopped in front of him, and then, amidst the tremors, transformed into the Floating Hill Immortal Sword, emitting a red light!
"Assassins actually prepared for three years to deal with Shen Jianxin. It seems that the punch he received back then really left him with a trauma!"
"So what he spent three years comprehending on Qingshui Island was not the Heavenly Dao Sword, but the Floating Immortal Sword from Floating Island!"
It's worth noting that when Shen Jianxin returned to Chunyang to seal his sword, his Uncle-Master Yu Rui saw that his internal energy had turned red. Previously, the internal energy in the Chunyang manual was blue, which indicated that Shen Jianxin had begun practicing his technique.
Those watching the video speculated that Shen Jianxin had actually comprehended a different kind of power on Qingshui Island, not the power of the Pure Yang Manual. Therefore, the clash between the two powers within his body led to Shen Jianxin's demonic possession!
The Andrographis paniculata might be a product of his demonic aura, which is why Assassin said that Shen Jianxin helped him find the Andrographis paniculata!
As Assassin explained the reasons, everything suddenly became clear. However, everyone felt their minds were a bit overwhelmed; it was all so intricately linked!
Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness
“This Shen Jianxin was originally an ordinary person. He gained supreme power and the recognition of the Heavenly Dao with his pure heart! His strength and state of mind are not matched.” In Li Fu’s secret base in Chang’an City, Li Fu and Qiu Yeqing were reviewing the intelligence they had collected about the Assassins.
Qiu Yeqing looked at Li Fu with admiration and nodded like a chick, "Brother Fu, are you saying that his mental state has too many flaws, which is why he is so easily manipulated and bewitched by the Assassins?"
Wasn't he a Taoist at Chunyang Palace before?! Logically speaking, if he had even read a bit of the Tao Te Ching and the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, he wouldn't have been so easily misled by the Assassins' illusions.
Assassin continued to bewitch Shen Jianxin, disrupting his peace of mind: "Qingshui Island truly is a paradise. After the battle of Rilun Mountain Castle, the entire martial world wants to find a way to annihilate the great hero Fujiwara Hiroshi in one fell swoop."
"If I hadn't used the Lake Network to create a completely new Shen Jianxin and maintain his activities in the Central Plains, they would have found Qingshui Island sooner or later."
"Nonsense!!" Shen Jianxin roared angrily, unleashing a burst of red power that broke free of his restraints.
"You must act as the embodiment of chivalry, upholding justice and punishing evil!" Assassin, with his back to Shen Jianxin, continued, "But what evil have I done?! To protect the secret of Clearwater Island."
"If you intend to eliminate me, then how are you any different from those who claim to act on behalf of Heaven but indulge their own selfish desires?"
"Kill me, and Qingshui Island will be safe?! The leaders of the six major sects already know the secrets of Fuqiu and Qingshui Island. Are you prepared to become an enemy of the world?"
[Then he grabbed Shen Jianxin by the neck and pulled hard, and Shen Jianxin reappeared on Qingshui Island, where the ground was littered with the corpses of the six major sects who had fought and killed each other for immortality.]
Shen Jianxin's eyes turned bloodshot, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his breathing became rapid. When he came to his senses, he found himself once again in the sea of flowers of the Piercing Heart Lotus, with Assassin's voice echoing from all around.
"It is precisely because you owe her that you have inherited her will. Shimizu Island originally had nothing to do with you; if it weren't for one life falling and another being born, why would you be so fixated on it? Since you refuse to face it, I will shatter all of this for you."
At this moment, Shen Jianxin was enveloped in black energy, his hair disheveled, completely possessed by demonic possession. His right hand transformed into a red longsword using his inner power, and in a mere instant, he locked onto Assassin's position, piercing his abdomen with a single strike!
"Shen Jianxin! I've been waiting for this day." Assassin seemed unsurprised. The longsword that had materialized in Shen Jianxin's hand gradually dissipated, and Assassin slowly retreated, drawing closer to the edge of the cliff.
"This is not the end, this is just the beginning." Assassin then plummeted down the cliff behind him. Shen Jianxin reached out to try and grab him. This was the scene the sect leaders witnessed after passing through the stone gate.
Assassins' words seemed to whisper in my ear: "One day, you will stand before me and hear the cheers of the crowd..."
"Shen Jianxin!!" The people outside were still celebrating, constantly calling out Shen Jianxin's name!
Seeing that Shen Jianxin had dealt with the Assassins, Dongfang Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems we don't need to worry about the Assassins' plot anymore."
[Ye Zhiqing of the Seven Show Sect became serious: "Perhaps what we should be worried about is not the person who fell off the cliff."]
"Holy crap!!! The Assassins really see through people's hearts. Now Shen Jianxin has been completely pushed to the opposite side of the six major sects!"
"Assassin's words are like knives stabbing Shen Jianxin's heart. Those he wanted to protect and save have all been destroyed by Assassin, and with his current unstable state of mind, his situation is even more difficult!" (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Shen Jianxin kept his secret to protect Qingshui Island, but now that the six sect leaders know it, he has to kill them to keep the secret, which means making an enemy of the entire martial arts world!
"So Ye Zhiqing of the Seven Show Pavilion is not without reason to worry. For them, the one in danger now is Shen Jianxin!"
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Shen Jianxin was caught in a dilemma: to protect Qingshui Island and fight against the world, or to abandon it. What choice would Shen Jianxin ultimately make...?
The World Under One Person
"Even if you are invincible, what should you do when the people you are protecting are divided into two groups, not because of morality but because of pure greed and killing each other?" The old master knew that Shen Jianxin had reached the point where he had to make a choice!
The path of self-discovery is difficult! It is hard to find a perfect solution in this world. Evil in this world originates from the human heart. Where there are people, there is evil. Shen Jianxin has burdened himself with too many responsibilities and responsibilities that should not belong to him. When he tried his best but found that he was powerless to change the situation, his inner demons accompanied him, and there was no cure.
"It's a waste of Assassin's eloquence if he doesn't become a pyramid scheme member!" Wang Ye was dumbfounded by the brainwashing techniques. Assassin attributed all the conflicts in the martial arts world to the appearance and power of Shen Jianxin.
But in reality, whether Shen Cun exists or not, whether he is strong or not, what is meant to exist will still exist. It's the same in every era; it cannot be eliminated. A new era simply presents a new contradiction…
Li Chengen of the Tian Ce Mansion looked around, then stepped forward, spear in hand: "Shen Jianxin, why did you kill him!"
Shen Jianxin, enveloped in black aura, stared at the crowd below with bloodshot eyes. Assassin's seductive words echoed in his ears: "The leaders of the six major sects all know the secret of Clearwater Island. Are you prepared to become an enemy of the world?"
"Bang!" Seeing that Shen Jianxin didn't answer, Li Chengen's eyes darkened, and the spear in his hand rang out crisply: "Shen Jianxin! The crisis in Chang'an is not over yet. There are still too many unsolved mysteries here. You must come back to Chang'an with me to be investigated!"
A blue Bagua symbol appeared before the sect leaders, its terrifying aura causing everyone to take a step back. Li Wangsheng appeared in front of them without them noticing: "Commander Li, Shen Jianxin is a disciple of Chunyang Palace. This is a matter for Chunyang Palace, and Chunyang Palace will give you an explanation."
"Sect Leader Li! Do you intend to repeat what happened back then?" Li Chengen's face also darkened.
Little did he know that his words had thoroughly enraged Li Wangsheng, who immediately became less polite, his eyes turning fierce: "Junior, watch your words!"
Just as a fight seemed imminent, Ye Zhiqing quickly intervened to stop it. She then discovered through the nearby lakeside internet that advertisements had been circulating about the legendary swordsman Shen Jianxin at Deyue Tower, and a large crowd had already gathered near the tower!
"Hero Shen!!" The crowd cheered, completely unaware of the impending danger! This was the scene Shen Jianxin witnessed as he stepped out of Deyue Tower.
At this moment, the four holy maidens of the Red-Clothed Sect stepped out from the crowd: "Great Hero Shen, we have been waiting for you for a long time! Tonight, Chang'an belongs to Great Hero Shen's celebration!"
Because of the large number of civilians nearby, Li Chengen dared not act rashly. The Holy Maiden of the Red-Clothed Cult activated the mechanism, changing the appearance of Deyue Tower. Shen Jianxin also discovered the Great Poisoner hiding inside!
"Sword Heart..." Li Wangsheng was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Red-Clothed Sect!
"Today is Hero Shen's celebration! As long as Hero Shen remains in Chang'an, Chang'an will always be peaceful!" The Holy Maiden of the Red-Clothed Sect walked between Li Wangsheng and Shen Jianxin, speaking softly.
"As expected, the sect leader is the true love. It's Shen Jianxin's good fortune to have such a sect leader. He has always truly regarded Shen Jianxin as his own disciple!"
"However, now even the sect leader Li Wangsheng is in a difficult position. Tian Ce Mansion represents the imperial court, and if things get out of hand, it could potentially drag the entire Chunyang Sect down with it!"
But what's most unexpected is why the Cardinal Holy Maiden still speaks with such confidence, as if everything is still within her expectations. But wasn't the Assassin already dead?! Could her own death also be part of the plan?
Shen Jianxin, wearing an Assassin's cloak, walked step by step towards the Heavenly Ladder.
"By embarking on this path, you will inherit President Sa's legacy and become the master of the Lake Network!" The Holy Maiden of the Red-Clothed Cult clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed 397 times in reverence.
[Upon reaching the summit, Shen Jianxin looked at the enormous poisonous figures hidden all around him. His mind went blank for a moment, and the figure of Assassin reappeared before him, silently watching him: "Shen Jianxin, one day, you will stand before me and hear the crowd chanting my name..."]
At this moment, half of Assassin's face appeared to resemble Shen Jianxin, then disappeared. He turned around and drew his longsword!
"Shen Jianxin!!!" The people cheered enthusiastically!
Amidst the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers, Shen Jianxin transformed into a streak of light, instantly annihilating the four powerful poisoners. He then proceeded to wipe out all the poisoners hidden in Chang'an!
"Today, no matter how many poisonous people there are in Chang'an, just like you, not one of them will leave alive!" Under the gaze of the Red-Clothed Cult's Holy Maiden, Shen Jianxin, his face covered in blood, slightly turned his head, his entire face suddenly becoming incredibly terrifying, like a demon!
The Holy Maiden of the Red-Clothed Cult steadied herself: "Killing these poisoners won't change anything. Your skill has indeed exceeded expectations. Even you couldn't have considered the bigger picture so quickly!"
"Back on Qingshui Island, I warned you that even with your unparalleled martial arts skills, you probably couldn't protect everyone! You couldn't kill those you wanted to kill, and you couldn't save those you wanted to save."
In Shen Jianxin's eyes, the Holy Maiden suddenly transformed back into the Assassin. Black energy surged from Shen Jianxin's body once more, and he gripped the Holy Maiden's neck tightly. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his blood-soaked appearance made him look utterly terrifying.
At this moment, Li Wangsheng placed his hand on Shen Jianxin's shoulder, shook his head, and stopped Shen Jianxin: "Jianxin, come back to Mount Hua with me!"
At this moment, a large number of soldiers from the Tian Ce Mansion surrounded them. Li Chengen said, "Li Wangsheng! If you bring this man with you, your Chunyang Palace may not be able to bear the responsibility."
Shen Jianxin looked at them quietly: "The matter in Chang'an is related to the Red-Clothed Sect from back then, and I will resolve it personally. I will also give this martial world an explanation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire city of Chang'an began to tremble. Zhou Shen once again ignited his black aura, then turned around and knelt down before Li Wangsheng, kowtowing heavily and whispering, "Sect Leader, if there is an afterlife, let us meet again at the summit of Sword Debate Peak! Shen Jianxin will only be a closed-door disciple and will never enter the world again…!"
Shen Jianxin stood up, and the blue pure Yang energy detached from his body, transforming into a crane that soared into the air. With a cry, it transformed into a Bagua symbol before finally taking the shape of a sword.
[Far away in the Heavenly Dao realm of Mount Hua, trembling incessantly, while in Chang'an, the pure Yang energy, transformed into the shape of a sword, suddenly exploded like fireworks.]
Like twinkling stars falling from the sky, the people below cheered, thinking it was fireworks.
After doing all this, Shen Jianxin knelt before Li Wangsheng and continued softly, "From this day forward, Shen Jianxin is no longer a member of the Chunyang sect."
Li Wangsheng remained silent, tears welling in his eyes. He slowly extended his hand, which trembled uncontrollably.
After doing all this, Shen Jianxin walked outside, her hair back in its usual ponytail, but her former smile was gone.
P.S.: I've been quite busy with the Chinese New Year holiday lately, so I can't help it.
