The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

My vision gradually blurred, and my strength gradually gave out.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Shen Jing, that's enough. Stop struggling and give up."

"You're the first person I've ever seen who could endure for so long after falling from the Azure Cloud Sword Technique."

Qin Feng knelt on one knee, somewhat weak. He had given his all in this attack, and his body was completely drained.

In the sky, Shen Jing's master, Li Chunfeng, noticed Shen Jing, which gave Zhong Xuan an opportunity to strike him with a powerful palm.

It fell straight down from the sky, creating a crater.

"My disciple, your master will help you out of this predicament."

Li Chunfeng tried to stand up, but found that his body wouldn't obey him and he couldn't get up no matter what he did.

"You have quite the nerve. You can barely take care of yourself, yet you still care about others." A wisp of black mist appeared beside Li Chunfeng, and then the black mist materialized, revealing Jonghyun's appearance.

Shen Jing held on for a minute, reaching her limit.

He prepared to leave a last message for his master, saying through telepathy, "I haven't saved much money in my life, it's all in the box under my bed. This is the last thing I can give you as a token of my respect. I think that a teacher for a day is a father for life, so I'll take care of you in your old age."

Next, Shen Jing left a final message for Jiang Chuan, saying, "Meeting you, my good brother, is my blessing. From the moment we met until my departure, I have always been happy."

"I know you are a responsible person."

"I hope you can help me fulfill my last wish, and you know what it is."

"I hope you can bury me in a place where birds sing and flowers bloom."

“I know this is not difficult for you, but I believe you can do it.”

"I hope you can find your own happiness, and don't let me stop you from moving forward."

"I will pray for you in another world."

"Alright, I'm leaving now." Shen Jing sighed with relief as he prepared to retract his hands, which were covered in blood and bone fragments.

He knew the consequences of doing so, but he wasn't afraid.

Birth is essentially a process of waiting for death.

A hint of composure flashed in Shen Jing's eyes, a profound understanding of the meaning of life and acceptance of the impending end.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's brows twitched, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entrance to the Diviner Alliance, making everyone present feel the chill of winter.

Jiang Chuan stood up, his gaze sharp as he scanned the crowd present.

His gaze was like a sharp blade, making people afraid to look him in the eye. He said coldly, "With me, Jiang Chuan, here today, the Diviner Alliance will be fine."

Although his voice was not loud, it echoed in the air, making people feel intimidated.

The authority in his tone was as imposing as a mountain, making it impossible to resist.

"Jiang Chuan, don't be so presumptuous."

With his late-stage Earth Rank strength and the added influence of a demonic cultivator, Jonghyun naturally refused to submit verbally.

“It’s not your place to run wild in the places where my Qingyun Sect wants to run wild,” Zhong Xuan said again.

Jiang Chuan appeared beside Shen Jing with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

The Azure Cloud Sword Technique—the Falling Attack—that was meant to end Shen Jing's life was neutralized by Jiang Chuan with a flick of his finger.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng felt as if his eyes were not his own.

Even knowing that Jiang Chuan was quite strong, wasn't it too insulting to break through the Qingyun Sword Technique's attack so easily?

Jonghyun moved with light steps, his figure appearing and disappearing silently behind Jiang Chuan.

"Trying to launch a sneak attack? You're not qualified." Jiang Chuan lifted the Dragon Roar Sword, its blade enveloped in immense thunderous power, and thrust it backward with explosive force.

Upon seeing this, Jonghyun flapped the black wings on his back to shield himself.

The two clashed, and Jiang Chuan's sword, imbued with lightning, pierced through Jonghyun's body without hindrance.

If Jonghyun hadn't intervened in time to grab the blade, the Dragon Roar Sword would have continued its advance.

In a simple exchange, Jonghyun began to suffer losses.

"How is this possible?" Jonghyun looked at Jiang Chuan, who was a level below him, in disbelief.

Jiang Chuan smiled calmly, not directly answering Jonghyun's question, but instead asking in return, "Do you really think that rank is everything?"

Jonghyun was stunned. He looked at Jiang Chuan, unsure how to respond.

Jiang Chuan's tone and expression deeply shocked him.

"ended."

Jiang Chuan stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand, and the Dragon Roar Sword let out a dragon's roar, the blade beginning to split open on Zhong Xuan's body.

The Dragon Roar Sword was like an awakened dragon. As it danced, its sword energy surged, and Jonghyun's body was instantly enveloped by the sword energy.

Each sword aura was like a sharp blade, cutting into Jonghyun's body.

He tried to resist, but found that the more he resisted, the stronger the sword energy emanating from the blade became, making him dare not make any rash moves and allowing the sword energy to circulate within his body.

Zhongxuan sensed something was wrong and flapped his black wings, speeding towards the direction of Qingyun Sect.

The Qingyun Sect disciples' faces turned extremely ugly when they saw their deputy sect leader flee.

It's unclear why Jonghyun chose to run away at this crucial moment.

Qin Feng, as the apprentice, also felt confused when he saw this scene.

Jiang Chuan wasn't worried about Jonghyun's escape. He stood still and said, "Three...two...one."

Jonghyun, who had disappeared from public view, has reappeared in the public eye.

At this moment, his body was badly damaged and he had lost the ability to fight, but his mind was still relatively clear.

He knelt before Jiang Chuan and pleaded, "Please spare me."

These simple four words resounded like thunder in the ears of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

As the vice sect leader, when had he ever been so humble in front of so many Qingyun Sect disciples?

"Master, what's wrong?" Qin Feng walked up to Zhong Xuan and asked incredulously.

In the past, Jonghyun was always calm and collected around him, but now he was actually begging for mercy from someone younger than him right in front of him.

If this matter were to reach the sect, how could he, as a disciple, save face?

Jonghyun was his mentor, his role model, and his faith.

He had always thought Jonghyun was omnipotent, but now he saw another side of Jonghyun that he found unacceptable.

He looked at Jonghyun, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"Kneel down and admit your mistake to Jiang Chuan, oh no, I mean, Master Jiang," Zhong Xuan instructed Qin Feng.

"I knelt down to him?" Qin Feng pointed to himself, then to Jiang Chuan. "Master, what's wrong with you today? Have you lost your mind?"

Zhong Xuan's words failed to persuade Qin Feng.

The young Qin Feng was naturally unable to accept this. He had only knelt to a handful of people in his life, and the thought of him kneeling to Jiang Chuan was as disgusting as swallowing feces.

"No, Master, I can't do it." Qin Feng couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Qin Feng, are you going to ruin me? Don't you listen to your master anymore?" Jonghyun said to him almost in tears.

Qin Feng blushed deeply upon hearing this, his heart filled with struggle and contradiction.

Looking at Jonghyun's disappointed eyes, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by needles.

But kneeling down before Jiang Chuan was far too difficult for him.

"Qin Feng, remember this."

"A true man can bend and stretch; just bear with it and it will pass."

"Although this matter is somewhat difficult for you, it will be a test for your spirit." Zhong Xuan began to brainwash Qin Feng earnestly. In order to make an exception for Jiang Chuan, he didn't care about his old face.

Qin Feng couldn't resist Jonghyun's persistent pleading.

He reluctantly imitated his master Jonghyun, sticking out his tongue like a lapdog begging for Jiang Chuan's forgiveness.

"No way, are the Vice Sect Master and Qin Feng possessed by ghosts?"

One of the Qingyun Sect disciples couldn't help but scream upon seeing this scene.

"Yes, those two are usually high and mighty figures in the sect."

Why do you look so disheveled today?

Another disciple couldn't help but speak up as well.

Soon, the Qingyun Sect disciples were stunned by Zhong Xuan's deep tenor voice, "What are you looking at? Kneel down and kowtow to Grandpa Jiang Chuan to admit your sins."

The disciples of Qingyun Sect looked at each other in bewilderment upon receiving the order. They had come to Qingyun Sect to learn skills, not to learn how to beg for help.

Making them kneel before Jiang Chuan, whom they dislike, is like killing their parents.

This is undoubtedly a great insult to their self-esteem.

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Jonghyun said again, "Aren't you going to listen to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qingyun Sect disciple, unable to withstand Zhong Xuan's pressure, reluctantly knelt on one knee and cried out to Jiang Chuan with an extremely insincere expression, "Jiang...Chuan...Master...Please...go..."

Jiang Chuan did indeed hear the words "Grandpa Jiang Chuan".

Although it sounded a bit strained, he couldn't hear the babbling that followed.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

He closed his eyes to rest, stretching his neck; he was waiting for someone.

The person who made him break his vows time and time again was Li Yi.

Li Yi was worried about Jiang Chuan while she was at home alone. After a struggle with her thoughts, she decided to come to the Diviner Alliance.

She dressed herself up very nicely for her arrival.

The hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind, like a blooming flower.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement, as if he was looking forward to the meeting.

Her smile is warm and sweet, and it's impossible not to be charmed by it.

She walked gracefully towards Jiangchuan, exuding a captivating aura with every move, making people want to get closer to her and understand her.

Beauty is not only reflected in appearance, but also in her temperament and inner qualities.

She was a woman of great wisdom and charm, irresistibly attracting everyone, including Jiang Chuan, after all, she was his woman.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home?"

Are you worried about me?

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes and looked at Li Yi walking towards him.

"I'm not worried about you at all," Li Yi said, walking up to Jiang Chuan and throwing herself into his arms, her words contradicting her true feelings.

Jiang Chuan stroked her face; he could feel her tension and worry.

Although she said she wasn't worried, her actions betrayed her.

"How could something happen to someone as capable as me?"

Jiang Chuan comforted Li Yi, hoping she could let go of her worries, and gently kissed her forehead.

After their intimacy, Li Yi looked at Qin Feng kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

She knew that Qin Feng had been forced into this position.

"Alright, you two get up." Li Yi finally couldn't bear it and said.

As far as she knew, the Qingyun Sect was a prominent force in Qing City.

She would be Jiang Chuan's woman from now on, and she didn't want his child to be in a miserable state of escape.

Jiang Chuan and she are both still young and should enjoy the life that people their age should have. They don't want to experience the days of bloodshed.

Therefore, with the mindset of "better to avoid trouble," she helped Jiang Chuan out of the predicament.

Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Jonghyun and Qin Feng immediately stopped their comical antics and showed expressions of gratitude.

Seeing that Jiang Chuan did not give them any instructions to stand up, Jonghyun bowed and said to Li Yi, "Sister-in-law, Jiang Chuan hasn't said anything, how could we dare?"

“I will stand up for him.”

"You two are both from the Qingyun Sect."

"I hope that such violent incidents will never happen again in the future."

"My beloved Jiang Chuan hopes that the Qingyun Sect will be more tolerant in the future."

Li Yi's exquisite face is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and dazzling.

Her words were like a blooming lotus flower, fresh and refined.

She always becomes the center of attention, no matter when or where, but she never flaunts it and always remains humble.

What are you still hesitating for?

Jonghyun nudged Qin Feng, who was staring at Li Yi's stunning beauty, with his body, signaling her to kowtow to him as a sign of gratitude for not killing him.

"No, my pride won't allow me to do that."

Qin Feng's values ​​have been constantly and uncontrollably overturned since he met Jiang Chuan. "Looking back on my life, I've never knelt down to a girl, especially one as attention-grabbing as her. Even if I did, it would be in bed. Unless you ask her to bring a bed over, I can't bring myself to do it."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Do you think I ever did?

"Aren't we doing this to survive?"

As Qin Feng's mentor, Jonghyun was indeed much more rational in this regard.

"No need to bother."

"I would be very grateful if you would just stop causing trouble for the Diviners' Alliance."

Lee Yi helped Jonghyun up. If his legs hadn't been so numb from kneeling, he would have definitely made excuses again.

Seeing his master Jonghyun stand up, Qin Feng stopped pretending and stood up as well, thinking that he must get his hands on Li Yi, this beauty, when he got back. He would be willing to give up twenty years of his life to get her.

"We will certainly remember your teachings and will not make the same mistake again."

Jonghyun and Qin Feng clasped their hands in greeting.

Jiang Chuan pulled Li Yi aside, and after a moment's thought, said, "Your kindness will harm us."

Li Yi looked at Jiang Chuan's serious expression.

Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Harmed us? What are you talking about?"

She thought Jiang Chuan was making a fuss over nothing.

"My little darling, releasing them is no different than letting a tiger return to the mountains."

"The feud has been formed, and the two sides will be locked in a life-or-death struggle."

"This kind of thing can't be explained in a few words, but you can trust me."

"Listen to me, I know what to do." Jiang Chuan stroked her small hand, helping her to process his words.

After hearing this, Li Yi was somewhat stunned.

She never imagined that her kindness would have such a stark contrast with Jiang Chuan's reaction.

Jiang Chuan used to be completely devoted to her, but now he seems like a completely different person. (End of Chapter)
