Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Zhou Wencong replied with a smile, "Yes! Father, all I did was break two bowls. Did you really have to try to kill me, even pretending to be dead? As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs! You didn't have to be so cruel!"

As he spoke, he described his transgression as merely a minor one.

"Evil son, evil son!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhou was filled with rage and shouted, "What do you mean, 'Just because you broke two bowls, you want to kill me?' If you hadn't killed my husband and me, would we have needed to do such a thing?"

Unexpectedly, even now, this beast shows no remorse. If Zhou Wencong had politely admitted his mistakes, and given that the Zhou couple had been resurrected, perhaps he would have spared the man's life.

But for Zhou Wencong to say such things now is truly infuriating.

"hehe!"

Seeing that the Zhou couple were enraged, Li Wenrui burst into laughter and said, "I have decided to retry this case. Zhou Wencong did not kill his parents, so he is acquitted!"

As he spoke, he slammed his hand heavily on the table. With a loud bang, the people on either side, seeing Li Wenrui's stern gaze, stepped forward and released Zhou Wencong.

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Wencong stretched his limbs, stood up, looked at Zhu Fengxian and smiled, "Mother, let's go!"

As he spoke, he was overjoyed. He had thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, he was able to come back to life.

Although the Zhou couple had been resurrected and possessed their inheritance from the Zhou family, which he feared he could no longer obtain, the most important thing under these circumstances was to save his own life.

"En!"

After seeing her son released without charge, Zhu Fengxian knew he had committed many evils, but he was still her child! She felt guilty for not being able to give him a happy family, and wished she hadn't sent him to live with the Zhou family.

In that way, the subsequent events wouldn't have happened.

Upon seeing Zhou Wencong released without charge, the Zhou couple exclaimed bitterly, "Heaven has no eyes! Heaven has no eyes!"

The two men, who had been killed by Zhou Wencong, were now resurrected and, seeing each other acquitted, were heartbroken.

After all, the bad guys didn't get their comeuppance, so naturally they couldn't stand it. Even though this person was his son, he had killed them once.

"Uncle and Aunt, please don't be angry. Don't let him get sick from anger, that wouldn't be right."

As she spoke, Ru Ping, who was standing nearby, began to offer words of comfort.

Zhou Wencong walked over with Zhu Fengxian and said with a smile, "Zhou family, although you have raised me, you now want to kill me. From now on, I will never return to the Zhou family."

He paused and then said, "From this day forward, I will change my name to Li and my pen name to Wencong. There will be no further connection between us."

With that, he flicked his sleeve, intending to leave.

"Get out, you unfilial son! I never want to see you again."

When Master Zhou saw that the other party was showing off his power in front of him, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

Chapter 351 Thunderstruck

"Ha ha!"

Seeing his adoptive father's angry expression, Zhou Wencong couldn't help but burst into laughter. At this moment, Zhu Fengxian pulled her son and hurriedly said, "Cong'er, let's go quickly! There's no need to linger any longer."

After saying that, he wanted to take Zhou Wencong and leave quickly.

"Hmph, I'm going to stay here. The Zhou couple tried to harm me, but now I'm finally free. Seeing their angry expressions makes me very happy."

As he spoke, Zhou Wencong couldn't help but laugh.

"You wretched children, how could I have raised such ungrateful wretches?"

As he spoke, Master Zhou became enraged and shouted, "If Heaven has eyes, let it strike this unfilial son dead!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but feel dejected. Over the years, Zhu Fengxian and Zhou Wencong had lived in the Zhou residence, but the two of them had turned around and accused him.

Li Xiuyuan watched silently as the grudges and affections of the people on the field came together. After Zhou Wencong was released, he did not show up to stop him, but watched coldly. In his heart, he thought that no matter what, Zhou Wencong could not live.

Let Zhou Wencong be happy for a while, and then put him to death. It would be quite a sight!

Hey!

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan heard Master Zhou complaining that Heaven was blind, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He chuckled and said, "It's about time."

"Boom!"

A thunderclap echoed in the sky, and the once clear sky was instantly obscured by dark clouds. This was all orchestrated by Li Xiuyuan, who possessed both the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique and the inherited grains of the Dragon Subduing Memory, as well as the methods to summon lightning.

Although it couldn't compare to the Heavenly Thunder or the lightning from a heavenly tribulation, Li Xiuyuan could easily deal with ordinary people.

Upon seeing Master Zhou, the crowd had barely uttered the words "May lightning strike Zhou Wencong!" when, to their surprise, the sky immediately responded, and the gazes directed at Zhou Wencong became mocking.

It seems this guy must have done something heinous, otherwise why would even God disapprove and help Master Zhou?

Upon realizing this, everyone stepped back, fearing that the lightning might strike them and drag them into the chaos after they had only witnessed the spectacle.

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"

As he spoke, Master Zhou was very happy. He had originally had some faint feelings for Zhou Wencong, but after what had just happened, those feelings were gone.

"Uncle, let's hurry up and leave, lest we get struck by lightning."

However, Ru Ping spoke up. It turned out that the group was very close to Zhou Wencong, so they naturally had to move away.

After hearing these words, the Zhou couple naturally didn't think much of it and quickly stepped back. Guangliang and Biqing, who were standing nearby, also followed them.

"This... how could this be?"

Seeing the changing atmosphere in the sky, Zhou Wencong was extremely surprised. Could it be that God had opened his eyes and wanted to punish him?

Upon thinking of this, Zhou Wencong felt a deep sense of fear. Only by actually doing such a thing would one be afraid of lightning. After all, he had killed his father and mother and wronged a monk. None of these things would end well.

Even the heavens are against it now. The ancients were more superstitious, and with all sorts of gods appearing in the world, they had even greater reverence for the heavens.

"Son! Hurry, let's get under the house quickly."

As she spoke, Zhu Fengxian, who was standing next to her, quickly pulled her son up. She was naturally unwilling to let Zhou Wencong be struck by lightning.

"Yep!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wencong responded repeatedly, and the mother and son were about to leave.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and a silver bolt of lightning fell from the sky, like a lightning serpent, crashing down directly.

The mother and son, who were holding hands, were suddenly blown apart. Zhu Fengxian was lying on the ground, unconscious, having been knocked unconscious by the explosion.

On the other hand, Zhou Wencong was not in good condition either. His face was blackened and his skin was torn and bleeding, which was quite terrifying.

Zhou Wencong wasn't killed instantly by the explosion, but Li Xiuyuan held back, because killing him immediately would have been a bit unpleasant.

"No... I don't want to die!"

As he spoke, Zhou Wencong staggered and ran towards the building in front of him, wanting to hide inside temporarily. As for his mother's safety, he no longer cared about it.

After all, Zhou Wencong could kill even his adoptive parents, so why would he risk his life to save his mother?

As the saying goes, the kindness of raising and nurturing is greater than the kindness of giving birth!

"Boom!"

Before Zhou Wencong could even take two steps, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and two more silver streaks of light fell from the sky, striking him directly on the head.

With a loud bang, Zhou Wencong was struck dumb. In an instant, his hair turned into an afro. If a modern person were here, they wouldn't find it strange.

However, Zhou Wencong's injuries were not serious. He took two more steps forward, but then lightning struck again. This happened three times in a row.

Zhou Wencong finally collapsed to the ground, driven by his will to survive, he could only crawl forward step by step.

As for the others, they just watched from the sidelines, not daring to intervene. In their view, this was God's punishment for Zhou Wencong.

At this point, even the imperial envoy Li Wenrui dared not say anything more. As for going up to save his son, that was out of the question. He wanted to live a few more years and would not risk his life for his son.

"Boom!"

Silver snakes fell one after another. If someone were to count them, they would know that there were a total of nine lightning bolts. As the lightning subsided...

Zhou Wencong collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, and at that moment the dark clouds in the sky gradually disappeared.

After seeing Zhou Wencong die, everyone couldn't help but think that Heaven had eyes and was punishing the wicked young man severely.

Chapter 352 The girl hangs herself

"Ha ha!"

"This time, God has eyes and has severely punished the scoundrel."

When Guangliang and Biqing saw Zhou Wencong being struck by lightning, they burst into laughter. At the same time, the crowd outside the execution ground, having witnessed the heavens' mercy, became even more devoted to gods and immortals.

As for Li Wenrui on the field, after seeing his son hacked to death, he didn't even dare to clean up Zhou Wencong's body. Originally, he didn't really believe in ghosts and gods.

Unexpectedly, this happened, and it was Zhu Fengxian who buried Zhou Wencong's body after she woke up.

Although Li Xiuyuan disliked Zhou Wencong, Zhu Fengxian had not made any mistakes, so he naturally wouldn't kill her.

After the Zhou family returned to their residence, Li Xiuyuan appeared among them.

Upon seeing the holy monk appear, the Zhou couple exclaimed in delight, "Holy monk, where were you just now?"

The two were puzzled. Li Xiuyuan was clearly walking with them, so how could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I have been on the execution ground all along; you just didn't see me!"

As he spoke, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan seemed unwilling to say more, the Zhou couple did not ask any further questions, but instead instructed the servants to take good care of them.
