From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But seeing you at your age still acting so deceitfully—

"I really can't stand it anymore."

Lu Jin: "???"

So, he got slapped for nothing?

But then again, since he's a disciple of the Great Ying Immortal, he's also a fellow disciple, probably the senior brother...

So, Zhang Zhiwei's saying "the eldest brother is like a father" was indeed true!

However, the word "deceitful"—

Lu Jin's eyes were extremely serious as he questioned, "Fine! I'll treat you as my senior brother! Then tell me, where were you after that incident? Why didn't you return to the sect after Master died? Why didn't any of us fellow disciples know of your existence?"

The scene was not a good place to discuss these topics, and Lu Jin knew that, but when he thought about the Three Ones Sect becoming history and Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan disappearing without a trace, he could not suppress the anger in his heart!

If the river had flowed back then—

Wugensheng is definitely not going to escape!

"I can be considered a disciple of the Great Ying Immortal, but I am not a disciple of the Three Ones."

Jiang Liu remained calm and handed over a piece of paper, on which were drawn the Hetu Luoshu and the Reincarnation Wristwatch. "Also," he said, "if you want to resolve your inner conflict and understand the relationship between us, do me a favor: find these two things, and then—"

I'll help you.

How can I help?

"I'll help you find Li Muxuan." Jiang Liu offered one of his bargaining chips.

"A word is settled!"

Lu Jin grabbed the paper, carefully examined the design of the Hetu Luoshu and the Samsara Wristwatch, took a picture, and sent it to the Lu family members and other extraordinary individuals within the Lu family's forces, asking them to keep an eye out for relevant clues. "Do you really know where Li Muxuan is?"

“Zhang Zhiwei can vouch for me,” Jiang Liu said.

"Don't drag me into this... Never mind, I'll vouch for you."

Zhang Zhiwei originally wanted to stay out of it, but considering Jiang Liu's special status, he nodded and endorsed him. Otherwise, he suspected that Jiang Liu would shamelessly ask him about the specifics of the Celestial Master's Degree.

That's something that can be explained to Jiang Liu, who isn't a disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect.

Unless he is willing to accept the Heavenly Master's ordination!

# Chapter 570 Deceitful Heart (Part 2)

The grand ceremony continued, but everyone's attention was clearly focused on Jiang Liu, a mysterious figure who was only eighteen years old, could be on friendly terms with the Old Celestial Master, and dared to slap Lu Jin. They wanted to find out his true identity.

But how did they manage to find it?

In this time and space context, Jiang Liu can be described as "appearing out of nowhere" in a physical sense, equivalent to a newborn "baby". The so-called past is only "one or two hours", and there is no trace of anything before that.

"Old Celestial Master, may I ask who this friend of yours is?"

Wang Ai leaned on his cane and spoke very cautiously, afraid that Jiang Liu might slap him across the face if they disagreed.

Lu Ci was also tempted, but did not speak.

“The adopted son of the Ghost Hand King.”

After a moment's thought, Zhang Zhiwei revealed Jiang Liu's identity.

"The Ghost Hand King has an adopted son?"

Wang Ai, Lü Ci, Lu Jin, and Zhang Zhiwei were all from the same era. Although they had never fought against Ghost Hand King, they had heard of his reputation. They even knew that the destruction of the Sanyi Sect was inextricably linked to Ghost Hand King's disciple, Li Muxuan.

Who would have thought—

That guy even has an adopted son!

And he's still alive today, looking just like a young man...

She has the appearance of an immortal!

Could it be that he has truly attained immortality?

"Are you still the Quanxing?"

Lu Jin squinted.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, but it was Zhang Zhiwei who spoke first: "Although he is the adopted son of Ghost Hand King, he is not Quanxing. Otherwise, why would Master Zuo have passed on the Reverse Life Technique to him?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and said, "So, in terms of seniority, you really are my senior brother?"

“I’m not a member of the Sanyi Sect, and I’m only eighteen. If you’re willing, I’ll call you Master Lu, and you can call me Brother Jiang. We can just call each other by our own names.”

Jiang Liu put his arm around the elderly Lu Jin's shoulder and chuckled.

Lu Jin's lips twitched, but she didn't answer.

We have such a "young" senior brother now—

What a hassle!

But Jiang Liu was somewhat unforgiving, seemingly with ulterior motives, and asked, "Judging from your appearance, you've cultivated for most of your life, yet you're still stuck at the second level. Don't you dare to break through?"

Indeed, with each of the three stages lacking something, the higher the progress, the more unbalanced the three cores become...

I've also heard about the Sanyi Sect. Based on my understanding of the Left Sect Master, he won't be killed by someone. Instead, he will die to prove his innocence and reveal the fact that the Threefold Sect cannot reach the Heavenly Realm. Perhaps he hopes that the disciples of Sanyi can wake up from their illusory dream of the Xuanmen Sect?

"Having lived all these years, you've still etched that pain in your memory, even deceiving yourself to this day... Is this how Master Zuo taught you to cultivate?"

At first, Lu Jin thought this "senior brother" was going to give him some pointers, but the more he listened, the more something seemed off. He couldn't help but raise his Qi, but because Jiang Liu was holding his neck, the Qi he had gathered was instantly shattered by an invisible force, making it impossible to circulate through his body and activate the reverse life state.

Helpless, he could only keep a cold face and pretend to ignore it.

"...I've heard that you've lived a flawless life, acting with integrity and a clear conscience?"

But Jiang Liu had no intention of giving up so easily. "If you ask me—"

That's utter nonsense!

Isn't this your Lu family's rules and precepts?

All the members of your Lu family, as long as they are not too rebellious, are they all without a guilty conscience?

Ask yourself honestly, are you really qualified to pass on the technique of Triple Rebirth?

The Left Sect Master attained the third level of enlightenment, realizing he couldn't reach the heavens, and was willing to die to prove his innocence. Yet you chose to protect your senior uncles and brothers, not even daring to dissuade them, and ultimately even went against your own conscience—

Tell me, is this right?

You are unwilling to accept the destruction of the Trinity Sect and want revenge, no problem. But ask yourself, who was your original enemy? And what was your purpose in seeking revenge?

Li Muxuan? Wugensheng?

Those two deserved to die, but who else could have escalated things to that extent? And why did you kill them?

Faced with Jiang Liu's questioning, Lu Jin wanted to lash out, but since he couldn't mobilize or circulate his Qi, he was just a slightly stronger old man and couldn't even struggle.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Jin's eyes were bloodshot as he growled.

I want to save you.

Facing those bloodshot eyes, Jiang Liu said calmly, "I'll just ask you one question now: Was Zuo Ruotong killed by Wugensheng and Li Muxuan?"

"Yes!"

Lu Jin gritted his teeth and roared.

Snapped!

A crisp slap rang out.

Jiang Liu had released Lu Jin's shoulder at some point, then slapped Lu Jin again, knocking him to the ground: "You're not the Lu Jin I know, but I still want to take responsibility for you, so—"

Was Zuo Ruotong killed by Wu Gensheng and his group?

"Brother Jiang, aren't you being a bit...?"

Tian Jinzhong had just opened his mouth when Zhang Zhiwei stopped him, saying, "Junior brother, don't get involved. It's their family matter... probably."

To be honest, Zhang Zhiwei wasn't sure if Jiang Liu from another time and space could be on friendly terms with Lu Jin from his own world.

However, I don't think it will harm Lu Jin.

"But in front of so many people—"

Tian Jinzhong was somewhat worried.

"Perhaps, some things really do need to be explained in public."

The moment Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking.

Lu Jin got up, looked directly at Jiang Liu, and said, "It was Wu Gensheng who killed him! What the hell do you mean?"

Snapped!

He was met with another slap!

"You fucking!"

Lu Jinzhen was enraged. He circulated his Qi throughout his body, his skin turned white, his hair and beard stood on end, and a surge of white Qi aura emanated from his body. The contestants in the preliminary rounds after the Azure Dragon Group and the audience in the A venue were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

but--

Snapped!

Looking at the crazed Lu Jin, Jiang Liu reached out and pressed down, his large hand pinching Lu Jin's face. His magnetic field bound Lu Jin's three cores, and with a slight tremor, he knocked Lu Jin out of his Qi transformation state.

So what if it's activated in two stages?

It was still a slap!

"Was Zuo Ruotong killed by Wugensheng and his gang?"

Jiang Liu asked again.

"Yes!"

Lu Jin roared, disregarding those around him, and activated the second level again.
