If Very Jun went south, he would go north, the further away the better.
This situation would last for at most three or two months, then he would no longer fear Very Jun. With the power of six days and one Heavenly Cycle, two months would be ten Heavenly Cycles, six hundred years of cultivation.
He might not be able to reach the pinnacle of the super-strong Innate pyramid, but he would surely have a place among the top Innates.
Whether it was war or peace, Xun Wu You would have the confidence to face any unexpected events.
The location of the Blood Dark Crystal Tower was in the southwest direction. The north was considered peaceful. Xun Wu You traveled for half a day and arrived at an ancient city teeming with people.
The streets and alleys were filled with ordinary people seeking refuge. This area was within the territory of the De Feng Ancient Path, protected by the Confucian Sect. The security level was very high.
Xun Wu You had robbed a sum of money from Yu Liang Huang and was worried about having too much money and nowhere to spend it. So he found the most expensive restaurant and ordered the signature dish to enjoy a hearty meal.
The owner and the waiter were wary. Recently, there had been more and more people who ate and ran away without paying. This young man didn't look like a wealthy son who had money to spare.
The meal cost three hundred taels of silver. If he couldn't pay when the time came, it would be a problem.
In the world of Thunderclap, doing business was the most miserable. Shop owners would occasionally encounter scoundrels who ate and ran away without paying, or powerful Innate warriors who ate and ran away. There was nothing they could do.
If it weren't for the fact that Xun Wu You was dressed in Confucian Sect attire, they wouldn't have dared to serve him a table full of delicacies. After all, the temple might be gone, but the monks would remain. The Confucian Sect still valued reason.
This restaurant was special today, entertaining martial artists carrying weapons.
Calling it a martial world might not be accurate. In this world, there were all sorts of monsters and demons. The martial world was about martial arts, while Thunderclap was about fantasy themes.
The first-floor hall was packed. Even if Xun Wu You didn't want to listen, bits and pieces of conversation reached his ears, forming a few fragments: Jian Zhi Chi was captured!
He was imprisoned in the De Feng Ancient Path's cage.
Xun Wu You sighed. This character, loved by neither his father nor his mother, was a replica of himself.
He grew up in an orphanage, watching the faces of those uncles and aunts. His childhood was filled with shadows.
He left the orphanage at fifteen and started to support himself.
Survival was difficult in the twenty-first century. He hadn't experienced great storms, but there were many trivial matters. However, compared to Jian Zhi Chi, those were all blessings.
What was a tragedy of life?
His mother had cuckolded his father and ran away with a Confucian Sect talent. His father went crazy from excessive drinking. Jian Zhi Chi was often hungry in his childhood, eating one meal and starving for three. It was heartbreaking to watch.
Xun Wu You understood that kind of suffering. He could empathize deeply.
Jian Zhi Chi didn't die in his childhood. Perhaps fate felt that Jian Zhi Chi wasn't miserable enough. It used Very Jun's hand to plant another plot on him.
He spent three Heavenly Cycles as a walking corpse.
Xun Wu You wasn't surprised at all that Jian Zhi Chi was captured.
Jun Feng Tian had personally taken action. Even Gui Qi Zhu had to run for his life. What chance did Jian Zhi Chi have?
In the past one hundred and eighty years, there were at least eight thousand martial artists killed by Jian Zhi Chi. These martial artists who had gathered were going to the De Feng Ancient Path to demand justice.
Xun Wu You hesitated for a moment before deciding to turn back to the De Feng Ancient Path to give Jian Zhi Chi, who shared his misfortune, justice.
Jian Zhi Chi was the one who killed those people, but the mastermind behind it all was Gui Qi Zhu.
He paid with a ten-thousand-tael silver note. The waiter looked at the amount and almost fainted. He couldn't possibly find the change for this!
He thought he had encountered someone who was eating and running away without paying, but it turned out to be a low-key wealthy second-generation.
Xun Wu You said that if he couldn't find the change, he would just put it on his tab and deduct it from his next meal.
The owner was overjoyed. He had seen people who paid on credit, but this was the first time he had seen someone put it on their tab. It meant almost the same thing, but only those in business could understand the difference in essence.
Ten thousand silver notes were equivalent to a sudden increase in working capital. The owner thanked Xun Wu You profusely as he saw him leave the building.
It wasn't his money, so he naturally didn't feel bad spending it. He had to thank Yu Liang Huang for his "generosity" for allowing him to spend lavishly.
...
The De Feng Ancient Path was built into the mountain, located at the peak of the mountain range. It was surrounded by seventy-two peaks, guarding the solemn imperial palace. Ordinary people would take three to five days to climb to the peak.
But for experts, flying on their magical instruments, they could reach the top in two incense sticks' time at most.
Xun Wu You reached the top of the mountain. Before him was an ancient bronze gate, a hundred feet tall. The plaque had five large golden seal characters inscribed on it: Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parent, Teacher. It was extremely majestic. The mountain wind seemed to carry a righteous aura.
The buildings behind the mountain gate resembled the Imperial Palace of a forbidden city. They were beautiful and grand. Looking from afar, a towering tower stood in the center of the palace, reaching for the sky.
That was the Hao Zheng Five Paths, the Hao Zheng Supreme Hall where Lin Tian Xing resided. It almost touched the depths of the sky.
Looking down at the clouds, shaking the heavens, reaching for the infinite!
The previous Xun Wu You had lived in the Hao Zheng Supreme Hall since he was a child. He didn't know that the Hao Zheng Five Paths looked so awe-inspiring from the outside.
Xun Wu You had been thrown out of the Hao Zheng Five Paths by Lin Tian Xing. He hadn't had the chance to admire the spectacular beauty of the De Feng Ancient Path.
According to the celestial phenomena, the pavilions and towers were scattered around, worshipping the central floating giant tower, as if countless immortals were paying homage.
Xun Wu You was awestruck. No wonder the De Feng Ancient Path could unify the Confucian Sect. In terms of momentum alone, what kind of building could compare to the De Feng Ancient Path?
He stepped into the gate. Two Confucian scholars blocked his way.
"Stop! The Confucian Sect does not see any outsiders recently!"
Xun Wu You looked strange. He wasn't even allowed to go home?
He hadn't left the Hao Zheng Supreme Hall for twenty years. Few people in the Confucian Sect knew about him. He didn't have any credentials to prove his identity. Xun Wu You was troubled.
