Zhang Chen, upon hearing the Fox Spirit’s words, was deep in thought. So, all in all, it’s about fate, and fate determines everything. So, what exactly is fate? This is not only the confusion in Zhang Chen’s heart but also the confusion of all cultivators. After all, humans have only been exploring the Spiritual World for just a jiazi. Zhang Chen recounted the obsession of the remnants he had seen before. The Fox Spirit, upon hearing this, lamented, "What a sin! That Wei Yingwu deserves to die! Such a ruthless person is rare even among the Demon Race." Zhang Chen remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the Fox Spirit’s words. He collected the soul of the Fox Spirit and then sat silently in front of the sandbox. "My thoughts aren’t clear!" Zhang Chen sighed deeply, "Sleep!" Zhang Chen fell into a deep sleep, unaware that chaos had already enveloped the county town. As time went on, more and more nobles realized that their homes had been robbed, prompting them to flock to the authorities, putting pressure on the government. Many shady characters in the town were implicated, among them the evangelist of Yellow Heaven Dao. Zhang Chen finished his morning lessons as usual and performed labor duties with Chengyu. As Chengyu came to the statue he was responsible for cleaning, holding a rag, he wiped the offering table, then suddenly threw the rag on the table, cursing, "The more I think about it, the angrier I get! If I don’t vent this anger, my heart can’t be at ease." After saying this, he stomped out. "What are you doing?" Seeing Xiaodouding’s actions, Zhang Chen quickly called out. "Vent my anger!" Xiaodouding disappeared after speaking. Watching Xiaodouding’s figure, Zhang Chen hesitated briefly and then followed, fearing Xiaodouding might suffer a loss. Xiaodouding made his way to the funeral hall built by Wei Yingwu, observing Wei Yingwu kneeling in front of the hall burning paper money. Xiaodouding’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he pretended to casually approach Wei Yingwu. Wei Yingwu turned to glance at Xiaodouding upon hearing the noise, then continued to burn paper money, paying no mind to Xiaodouding. Xiaodouding came up behind Wei Yingwu, his eyes scanning the surroundings, seeing no third party present. A wicked curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as his gaze fell on Wei Yingwu’s legs. The next moment, he took a step forward as if he had tripped and lunged at Wei Yingwu’s legs. Xiaodouding’s lunge was unexpected, leaving Wei Yingwu with no time to react, followed by a scream. Read full story at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 Don’t get it wrong; the leg didn’t break, it purely hurt to the bone. She’s just a child; how could she have the strength to break someone’s leg? Even if she mastered the skill, she couldn’t. "What do you want to do?" Wei Yingwu reacted, looked at Chengyu, and directly pinned him to the ground, punching Xiaodouding in the eye socket, leaving him dizzy and unable to resist. "Stop hitting! I want to hit too! It’s just a misunderstanding!" Xiaodouding, pinned down by Wei Yingwu, frantically pleaded, "Senior Brother, it’s all a misunderstanding! I just accidentally bumped into Senior Brother! Little sister will definitely be careful next time!" As Xiaodouding pleaded, he reached for the sand on the ground! Hiding behind a tree, Zhang Chen, who had followed secretly, was speechless seeing this scene, "Martial arts? Just ? Martial arts are not promising; cultivating immortality is the way!" "This Wei Yingwu is utterly tasteless, hitting even a child! She’s just a child!" The next moment, Zhang Chen quietly approached from behind, catching Wei Yingwu off guard. Zhang Chen’s palm pressed directly onto Wei Yingwu’s shoulder, and the Body-Stabilizing Rune within him transformed into Golden Light, entering Wei Yingwu’s body. Wei Yingwu’s action of raising his fist halted abruptly, collapsing to the ground as if in a faint. Seeing this, Zhang Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile before swiftly leaving the scene to avoid being discovered by the recovering Xiaodouding. After a few breaths, Xiaodouding caught his breath, threw the sand from his hand into Wei Yingwu’s face, then crawled out from under Wei Yingwu. Seeing Wei Yingwu seemingly fainted, his gaze fell on Wei Yingwu’s thigh, and then he punched down hard---no fracture! Then Chengyu, like chopping large bones, finally heard a ’crack’ of a bone breaking at some point. Wei Yingwu’s entire thigh bent in an irregular manner. Only then did Chengyu get up from the ground and sprint away frantically. Witnessing this, Zhang Chen hiding in the shadows removed the Body-Stabilizing Rune, his form disappearing as well. Zhang Chen transformed into a bat, arriving back a step ahead of Xiaodouding. While Zhang Chen was wiping the sculpture, Chengyu came running in from outside the door, but at this time, Chengyu’s eye was black, and his hair disheveled, looking quite disheveled. "What happened to you?" Seeing Chengyu’s disheveled appearance, Zhang Chen, feigning ignorance, couldn’t help but feel a bit of concern and stepped forward to inspect. "I thought about it all night and still couldn’t swallow this anger. I just went and broke that boy’s leg; it finally let out my anger." Chengyu’s voice was full of cheer. "You..." Looking at Chengyu’s black-eyed appearance, Zhang Chen was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say. "What’s with the black eye?" Zhang Chen inquired, "Who hit you?" Saying so, he reached out to gently rub it. "That boy’s no match for me. I beat him into kneeling and begging for mercy. I pitied him, having a soft heart, and wanted to spare him, but who knew that dog didn’t appreciate it and sneaked an attack. I was caught off guard and took a punch." Chengyu seemed a bit unnatural, her tone somewhat apologetic, "That boy is taller and more robust than me; I didn’t react. But once I realized, that boy was beaten by me crying for his parents, crying so miserably! His leg’s broken! It’s a pity you weren’t there; you didn’t see how majestic I was!"
