From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But he was met with a slap in return.

The crisp "snap" sound echoed throughout the entire venue, making everyone watching jump in fright.

"Was Zuo Ruotong killed by Wu Gensheng and his gang?" Jiang Liu asked again.

"Yes!"

Lu Jin called out again.

Snapped!

The sound of slapping rang out again.

For a moment, everyone swallowed hard, watching Jiang Liu slap Lu Jin with a blank expression, each one trembling with fear.

Humiliation, shame—

These emotions surfaced in Lu Jin's mind, making him grit his teeth.

It wasn't because I was slapped in public, but because it came from within!

He knew the truth behind the massacre of the Sanyi Sect. The situation escalated to that point because Uncle-Master Si Chong and Senior Sister Chengzhen insisted on finding Wugensheng to divert attention from internal sect conflicts, only to be killed by members of the Quanxing Sect, leading to a complete and irreconcilable feud between the two sides…

When his friend Zheng Zibu asked him for the truth, asking if Master Zuo was killed by Wugensheng and Li Muxuan, he remained silent; but when asked if Zuo Ruotong was killed by Wugensheng and Li Muxuan, he admitted it.

True!

Zuo Ruotong's death was related to Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan's intrusion into the Sanyi Sect, but he knew the truth clearly!

That means it can't be said that Master Zuo was killed by Wugensheng and Li Muxuan, but rather that he chose death voluntarily at the last moment...

What happened next, due to the deaths of Si Chong and Cheng Zhen, spiraled out of control, something no one had anticipated!

The reason why Lu Jin felt ashamed and humiliated was because he knew clearly that he had violated the Lu family's family rules and precepts of seeking truth from facts!

This also goes against the earnest teachings that Master Zuo once gave him!

Even now, when faced with this "fellow disciple" whom Zhang Zhiwei has confirmed as Ghost Hand King's adopted son and who taught the Reverse Life Technique to the Left Sect Master, but who is not a member of the Sanyi Sect, he still stubbornly refuses to recall that past!

# Chapter 571 Cultivators Should Not Be Deceived

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

After knocking Lu Jin down once again, Jiang Liu looked at the swollen face and asked calmly, "Be quick about it. I don't really like torturing old men."

Lu Jin struggled to his feet, about to speak and take another slap, when someone blocked his way.

The newcomer was dressed in a white shirt and red pants, with pink hair, a round face, and rosy cheeks. He stared at Jiang Liu with wide eyes and said, "Don't hit my great-grandfather! I don't know what mistakes he made in the past, and he doesn't describe his past to us younger generation, but if you keep hitting him, he'll die!"

The visitor was none other than Lu Linglong.

"Even if he dies, I can still retrieve his soul from the underworld." Jiang Liu raised his hand and flicked it—

Snapped!

Jiang Liu's outstretched hand traversed space, passing over Lu Linglong's cheek, and knocked Lu Jin, who had just gotten up, back down. He then asked, "Was Zuo Ruotong killed by Wu Gensheng and his gang?"

"I'll fucking fight you to the death!"

Lu Jin went completely mad, bypassing Lu Linglong and throwing a punch at Jiang Liu, but he was met with a slap in return.

Snapped!

The crisp sound of slapping echoed throughout the venue.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Lu Linglong quickly helped Lu Jin up and asked with concern.

"fine."

Lu Jin stood up, shook her dizzy head, gently pushed Lu Linglong away, and looked directly at Jiang Liu, "This is between him and me, don't interfere, go away!"

"Grandpa..."

Lu Linglong was unwilling, but since her grandfather had already spoken, she couldn't say anything more. The older generation had its own pride.

"No matter how many times you answer, my answer is only one: Yes! Master Zuo was not killed by Wugensheng or Li Muxuan, but they are the ones who caused his death!" Lu Jin's eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and he could even be described as hysterical.

"is it?"

Jiang Liu lowered his hand and asked the old Celestial Master, "Brother Zhiwei, what is your opinion of him?"

Zhang Zhiwei sighed and said, "I don't want to get involved, but since you asked me, I can only say eight words: love makes one want to live, hate makes one want to die."

"Humph!"

Lu Jin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and snorted coldly, "I don't have your level of self-restraint! Repaying kindness and avenging wrongs are my principles!"

Wang Ai and Lü Ci also largely agreed with this point.

but.

Jiang Liu grinned, staring at Lu Jin, but pointed behind him at Zhang Zhiwei, saying, "You think Zhang Zhiwei is well-mannered? It seems you don't understand him at all. It seems all these years of friendship have been for nothing. He's a cunning old fox!"

Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what old fox?"

I'm just an ordinary old man, only good at fighting, unlike you.

A carefree traveler, untouched by worldly affairs, lets the years of life unfold as they may.

"Don't change the subject! Honestly, I still prefer the young Zhang Zhiwei. The older ones... especially the ones who became celestial masters, are boring."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's mouth twitched, but he shut up.

Wang Ai, Lü Ci, and the people nearby were certain that Jiang Liu was indeed of the same generation as them, but at such a young age, could it be that he had truly attained immortality?

Jiang Liu retorted before turning his attention to Lu Jin, saying, "Since you don't admit it, then I'll say it: Immortal Zuo Ruotong of Daying was not killed by Wugensheng or Li Muxuan. It was his own stubbornness, his responsibility to his disciples, and his expectations for future generations that led him to choose to end his own life."

"Shut up!"

Lu Jin's eyes were bloodshot as she rushed forward, only to have Jiang Liu tap her forehead with a finger.

Just once.

Lu Jin's eyes suddenly turned white, and his consciousness sank into the deepest part of the inner world.

Zeng Jiang's past flashed before Lu Jin's eyes: working in the lower courtyard, truly joining the Sanyi Sect, learning the Reverse Life Triple Technique, the Lu family compound, and Li Muxuan and Wugensheng joining the Sanyi Sect through disguise...

Until Zuo Ruotong broke through three levels under Wugensheng's pressure and fought against him, wanting to prove herself again, but she could not advance. Wugensheng asked, "What if you can't get past this level?"

Zuo Ruotong calmly replied, "There will be successors."

This sentence brought tears to Lu Jin's eyes.

Master Zuo is the person he admires most, and that remains true to this day. As his disciple, however, he has gradually strayed from Master Zuo's ideals.

Is this really a good idea?

Is he really considered a member of the Trinity School?

After a long while, Lu Jin came to her senses, knelt down with a thud, tears welling in her eyes, and sobbed.

"Now, tell me, was Zuo Ruotong killed by Wugensheng and Li Muxuan?"

Jiang Liu asked the question again.

This was also the last chance he was giving Lu Jin.

Simultaneously.

Jiang Liu was also negating his obsession with cultivation over most of his past life.

If we can pull through—

A triple victory is just around the corner.

I can't get through this—

Then Lu Jin is finished.

"No."

The moment she uttered those words, Lu Jin seemed to lose all her strength. Her eyes were lifeless as she struggled to her feet. "In your eyes, is my life a joke?"

You can call me "Big Brother," but I'm not your senior brother.

Jiang Liu internally refined his Qi, exhaled it, and let it enter through the fontanelle, flowing through the nine orifices, causing Lu Jin's injuries to heal at a visible speed. Even the wrinkles on his forehead lessened. "Now that I am no longer deceiving myself, it is time to cultivate!"

"I'll ask you again, what is your purpose in seeking revenge against Wugensheng and Li Muxuan?"

"For the sake of Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, and the other disciples of the San Yi Sect."

Lu Jin gritted her teeth, "I know things turned out that way because my senior uncle and senior sister disobeyed the sect leader's orders, and the other disciples in the sect were gossiping. They also cared about the reputation of the Xuanmen sect and wanted to shift the blame by going to find Wugensheng."

Either use him to break through to the third level, proving that the Reverse Life Third Level is still one of the strongest techniques in the world.

Either kill Wugensheng to prove that the Sanyi Sect is still powerful.

but--

Since things have developed to that point, I have no other choice!

"No, you actually had a choice, but you chose to side with your fellow disciples in your sect and betrayed the rules and precepts of your Lu family when it came to the rules and precepts of your sect and the Lu family."

If Si Chong and Cheng Zhen insist on going to find Wu Gengsheng, you can choose to kneel down and beg Si Chong and Cheng Zhen not to go to find Wu Gengsheng.

They will compromise with you, their excellent disciple, and you are aware of this.

Although Master Zuo has passed away, the influence of the Third Division remains, and petty people dare not provoke trouble.

After Si Chong and Cheng Zhen were killed, according to the Lu family rules and precepts, your choice should be to investigate the truth, find out which Quanxing members were responsible, and only cause trouble for them. You should also try your best to persuade your fellow disciples, because Quanxing is a bunch of scoundrels, and even with a sect leader, they can't control their disciples' unauthorized actions.

Jiang Liu pointed out this fact, and seeing Lu Jin's gloomy expression, he added, "However, as the sect leader, if you can't manage your disciples and let them do evil, you can't escape blame. It's not something you can get away with by saying 'If Quanxing has to be obedient, then it's not Quanxing.'"

As the leader of Quanxing Sect, Wugensheng's failure to manage the sect's members is a sin!

You want to cause him trouble—

no problem.

But I hope you will always understand why you want revenge against him.

Love makes one wish to live, hate makes one wish to die.
