Bei Chu Shao was now on the verge of death. Lord Wu, consumed by boundless hatred, naturally vented all his fury on Bei Chu Shao.
With such deep hatred, what did righteousness, gentlemanly conduct, or the idea that killing was just a matter of beheading go to hell?
He wanted Bei Chu Shao to pay for his crime in blood. The pent-up hatred and anger in his heart had almost subsided, but it hadn't completely disappeared.
Even killing Bei Chu Shao wouldn't undo everything; it would only give him a final resting place, so that even in death he could see his parents, wife, and children.
Qin Chuan no longer cared whether Bei Chu Shao was dead or alive. This time, Lord Wu had avenged himself. Even if the Bei Chu family members came now and were killed by Lord Wu, Lord Wu would die with a smile on his face, deeply grateful to Qin Chuan.
However, having avenged himself, Qin Chuan knew that his group had made an even bigger mess. The Bei Chu family would definitely not let it go, but Qin Chuan wasn't afraid.
Lord Wu was even less afraid. Before, Lord Wu was afraid of death, afraid that he wouldn't die in peace, afraid of not being able to give his family an explanation.
Now that he had avenged himself, Lord Wu felt empty inside. He suddenly felt lost and didn't know what to do. Everything seemed meaningless; he didn't feel the sun had lifted, nor did he feel any joy in being alive.
This feeling was normal; anyone would feel the same way. For years, he had lived on hatred, enduring hardships that most people couldn't bear. These difficult days were his motivation to live.
But now, the hatred that sustained him was gone. He hadn't considered annihilating the entire Bei Chu family; firstly, he couldn't do it, and secondly, he only hated Bei Chu Shao and his group.
This might be a personal reason, since Lord Wu hadn't expected to be able to take revenge in this lifetime. He had even considered dying together with Bei Chu Shao, but he couldn't even do that.
Desperate, he turned to others, and Qin Chuan entered Lord Wu's world under these circumstances.
It must be said that Lord Wu was quite lucky. Now that his great revenge was achieved, he was deeply grateful to Qin Chuan, looking up at the sky and shouting.
While venting their anger, they would shout, "I've avenged myself, Father, Mother..."
After a while, Qin Chuan and his group left. Now that Qin Chuan had killed Bei Chudao, and some of the Bei Chu family members who came were also dead, the mess was now left to the Bei Chu family.
As for what the Bei Chu family would do, Qin Chuan didn't need to worry about it. He had left this problem to the Bei Chu family, and everything depended on their attitude.
The initiative was entirely in Qin Chuan's hands. The strength he had displayed today was enough to make the Bei Chu family take it seriously.
In this world, normally, the Bei Chu family would never allow any threat to exist, nor would they allow anyone who could threaten their position to appear.
Once such a person appeared, they would naturally be suppressed and eliminated as soon as possible, nipping it in the bud. This was normal; any ruler of a world would choose to do the same.
Unless you could demonstrate that the other party had no way to resist, then they would change their tactics. For the sake of their family and their lineage, they would definitely try their best to get your forgiveness; otherwise, they would have no choice but to flee as soon as possible.
Qin Chuan's current strength is formidable, but not enough to force the Bei Chu family to confess their crimes or flee.
Qin Chuan has gained a certain advantage, but to truly seize it, he must withstand at least one more attack.
Go back!
Go back! Qin Chuan feels much more relaxed now. He's almost avenged Palace Master Wu. Once his strength reaches the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, Qin Chuan is confident he can force the Bei Chu family to make sacrifices.
Now he just needs to cultivate slowly, but Qin Chuan knows the Bei Chu family won't allow him to do so.
However, Qin Chuan's self-defense capabilities are definitely sufficient. In fact, he could simply leave with a few people and return after breaking through to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
This is the safest option, but Qin Chuan doesn't want to do that; it's escapism. Running away from difficulties will reduce Qin Chuan's ability to cope.
Sometimes you can escape, but sometimes you can't. What do you do then?
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to run away. Staying here and holding on is a gain in itself.
Upon returning, Palace Master Wu seemed much more relaxed. He got thoroughly drunk and talked to Qin Chuan at length, almost to the point of kneeling.
Palace Master Wu, drunk, alternated between crying and laughing. Qin Chuan understood; after all, he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, and releasing them now was a good thing.
Old Luo was very happy. Palace Master Wu was Old Luo's best friend, and he knew best about Palace Master Wu's situation. As a true friend, Old Luo naturally hoped that Palace Master Wu would get revenge.
Now that revenge had been achieved, Old Luo was overjoyed. Encountering such a thing, happening to one's friend, was the most desirable outcome; he hoped that karma would prevail, that the wicked would be punished, and that this would naturally be a happy thing.
Old Luo was very happy.
Qin Chuan understood. He had always considered himself a person who hated evil, especially things like Palace Master Wu.
If he encountered such a tyrant like Bei Chu Shao, he believed he deserved to die, and he would kill him without hesitation, not just for merit, but even without public morality.
This was perhaps a kind of righteous path, a righteous path residing in the hearts of people. A normal person would have this sentiment, but most people lack the ability to act on it.
Even if they did, they wouldn't want to cause trouble for themselves. After all, nobody has much free time, and nobody thinks they're invincible. If they offend someone they can't afford to offend, they're just asking for death.
Qin Chuan dares to act this way because he now possesses strong self-defense capabilities, and also because he doesn't have many attachments here.
This is why many martial artists, after embarking on the path of cultivation, are often solitary individuals, severing all emotions and desires. The path of cultivation is lonely.
Only by enduring loneliness can one cultivate the Dao; only by severing countless emotional ties can one attain the Great Dao. Only
by letting go of too many attachments can one focus wholeheartedly on the Dao, becoming unburdened, free to do as one pleases, and not betraying one's own heart.
However, everything has two sides. Severing emotions and desires, cutting off countless emotional ties, also leads to loneliness. But if one has a family, attachments, and cultivates the ruthless path, many joys are unattainable for those on the ruthless path.
In fact, sometimes these joys can inspire creativity, and those on the ruthless path are prone to going astray, since they are unburdened, everything is based on cultivation, they dare to try anything, and can even sacrifice much of their rationality.
Therefore, those who ultimately become demons, slaves to power, mostly cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness because they cannot bear loneliness, the lack of companionship, and the desolation that drives people to madness and leads them to do outrageous things.
Qin Chuan has always insisted on cultivating the Path of Compassion, and this will never change; otherwise, he would rather abandon the path of cultivation altogether.
But sometimes things are not as they seem on the surface. For example, Qin Chuan thought of a problem: he didn't have the Five Elements Immortal Banner. What should he do?
Should he stop cultivating, but what about his rivals, Chu Shi Qingzhu?
Would he abandon his family, his wife, and his children?
