Chapter 322: Chapter 137: Setting off to the Great Wilderness, Junior Sister Returns Home!_3
Taking the chance to observe the grand disciple recruitment ceremony of the Tianshui Sect was one thing. But if they could meet the legendary Saint Chen Chang’an, it would simply be the icing on the cake.
After all, if this really happened, they could brag about it for the rest of their lives when they retired from adventuring.
However, they didn’t expect to meet Chen Chang’an in such a way.
If they could turn back time, they’d rather not have this meeting.
"Gentlemen, didn’t you want to kill me? Why aren’t you proceeding?" Chen Chang’an looked at them and said with a slight smile.
"Senior, spare us, we really didn’t know it was you!"
"Yes, yes, we didn’t know it was you, senior. If we had known, even with a thousand times our guts, we wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you!"
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, these men were instantly terrified and immediately begged for mercy.
"It’s okay."
When Chen Chang’an heard their words, he smiled gently. Hearing the tone of Chen Chang’an, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Prior to their arrival, they had warned themselves to maintain composure and not cause any trouble here in the territory of the Tianshui Sect.
However, who could have foreseen the sudden appearance of this mysterious bird? They were instantly fascinated.
If they could capture this bird, they wouldn’t have any worries for their future lives!
So, they took action.
They couldn’t have imagined that their actions would bring about the presence of Chen Chang’an.
Fortunately, it seemed that Chen Chang’an didn’t intend to quarrel with them.
This was indeed an unexpected joy.
However, just when they breathed a sigh of relief, the next moment, the slight smile on Chen Chang’an’s face vanished all of a sudden.
Then he continued with the words he’d just spoken:
"It’s okay, just be careful in your next life!"
"Sen...!"
The crowd exclaimed in shock, quickly begging for mercy.
But it was too late.
Swoosh!
Without seeing any action, Chen Chang’an’s folding fan suddenly swung.
The next moment, those who were begging for mercy suddenly looked as if they had suffered a horrific shock, their bodies instantly turned into ashes.
Then, with a gust of wind, their bodies dispersed in the wind.
Not even a trace of blood mist could be seen at the original location, as if they had been completely erased from this world.
"Brother, you...? You killed them??"
Seeing Chen Chang’an kill several people with a wave of his hand, Mao Ruxue exclaimed in surprise.
She’d been up in the mountains for such a long time, but this was the first time she’d seen her brother become so temperamental.
"Silly girl, they made a ruckus in my territory, and even had the audacity to show me their middle finger. If such people aren’t killed, should they be kept as a memento?"
Chen Chang’an pointed at Mao Ruxue’s forehead while speaking in frustration.
It seemed there was a need to teach her later that "immortal grass would grow again by the spring wind even if it was burnt."
In the cultivation world, no one was truly virtuous. These loose cultivators were never good people to begin with.
If left to escape, they would undoubtedly harbor resentment for today’s-events, eventually causing unnecessary troubles in the future.
Chen Chang’an never liked trouble.
"Aunt, I think Master did nothing wrong by killing them."
At this moment, Lin Qingxue next to her spoke up. She looked at Mao Ruxue, and then at the place where the men had died, and said:
"Aunt, I recognize these men. They belong to an organization called Southern Bandits."
"Over the years, they’ve looted a lot, committed arson, and robberies. They take advantage of the recruitment period of the major Immortal Sects to make their moves."
"Over the years, they’ve been disliked by many major sects, but due to their stealthy methods and ability to travel like the wind, they were rarely caught."
"I didn’t expect them to come here, but it seems they won’t be causing trouble anymore."
"So that’s what happened." Upon hearing this, Mao Ruxue nodded.
In reality, she wasn’t surprised by Chen Chang’an killing people. As someone who had been part of the Rebirth Hall for years, killing people wasn’t a big deal.
She was surprised because this was her first time seeing her brother kill people so casually, she found it a bit strange.
After all, it was quite out of character for Chen Chang’an!
Regardless, they were dead now. If Chen Chang’an hadn’t killed them, she had planned to secretly take care of it later.
Yes, this was what Mao Ruxue had initially planned.
The principle that "immortal grass would grow again by the spring wind even if it was burnt" was something she understood too.
Meanwhile, as Mao Ruxue and Lin Qingxue were discussing, Chen Chang’an had already walked up to Chen Yi.
"Disciple Chen Yi pays respects to Master."
Seeing Chen Chang’an coming over, Chen Yi quickly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
Then he looked behind him at the Cyan Bird, and pleaded towards Chen Chang’an, "Master, Qing Yu is truly a good beast, can you please spare its life?"
"Little brat, when did I say I was going to kill it?"
Hearing this, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but smile and shake his head:
"Step aside first. Let me check its injuries."
"Yes, Master."
Listening to Chen Chang’an’s words, the sorrow on Chen Yi’s face quickly turned to joy, and he promptly stepped aside to make way for Chen Chang’an.
When Chen Yi stepped aside, it gave Chen Chang’an a clear view of the great Cyan Bird that was behind him.
