Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

"Go back soon."

At the entrance of Sanchuan Town, Zhao Yan, with tears in his eyes, waved goodbye to Russell, who was walking further and further away at the end of the road.

After thirteen years of companionship, it's really hard to leave now.

It all depends on whether he can succeed in this battle. If he succeeds, he can at least stay with Russell for another four hundred years. If he fails...

Let it be.

Once Russell's presence had completely disappeared, Zhao Yan's expression suddenly changed.

The initial reluctance seamlessly transitioned to coldness and sternness.

Turn around and leave.

Russell, after sensing his master's gaze shift away from him, also sighed deeply.

Stepping out, the stars shifted and the constellations changed.

The master's life force should be seized by his disciple.

Let this starry sky shine for you and me, master and disciple, tonight.

……

Wu Mansion.

After a night's rest, the seekers gathered together.

The Laoshan brothers looked around and took out a bronze mirror.

"What is this?" This bronze mirror is made of extraordinary material. Even Mr. Wu, an ordinary person, could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary object.

"Our ancestral treasure of Laoshan is the Treasure-Seeking Mirror," Gu Qian introduced. "As long as there are seekers of the Dharma or Dharma corpses nearby, this mirror will react. We brothers can then activate it with our magic power to display the scene seen by that person in the bronze mirror. With this item, the difficulty for us to find Dharma corpses will be greatly reduced."

So amazing?

The Three Truths Dharma Gate had long since fallen into decline, and Ma Chao and his disciples had never seen such a wondrous treasure before, so they all showed expressions of curiosity.

"Huh? Where did A-Guang go?" Huang Erguo turned around, wanting to say something to Gao Haoguang, but found that his junior brother had disappeared without a trace.

"That little boy? He just went out." Hai Shan, wearing a big-headed doll mask, replied. He had seen the white-haired boy walk out of the gate with a worried expression, seemingly heading towards the other side of the mountain.

"What is this brat doing going out now?" Ma Chao muttered under his breath. It wasn't because his junior disciple had left without saying goodbye and made him lose face, but because he was worried that the Dharma Corpse was currently lurking in Sanchuan Town and that the boy might be in danger all alone.

"Hey! The Treasure Mirror is moving! There's a Corpse of Dharma nearby!"

Just then, Gu Qian suddenly pointed at the mirror and said...

The two brothers worked together to activate the magic mirror. The mirror surface distorted for a moment, then became clear. From the perspective of the magic corpse, the corpses of the two children were being devoured.

"Damn that corpse! How could he do this to such a small child? Go and kill him!" Upon seeing this, Master Wu's eyes widened in anger. He looked around at the scene and quickly located the corpse's position. The group rushed forward to intercept it.

In a corner they couldn't see, a tiny figure, no bigger than a palm, jumped down from the roof beam and followed closely behind them.

At a dough figurine stall on another street, Zhao Yan could easily observe the every move of the Wu family's group through the small figurines.

The Laoshan brothers' magical treasures are indeed quite troublesome; even he dares not easily reveal his aura.
He discovered the cannibalistic corpse by chance three years ago. He strictly forbade it from harming children and innocent people within the territory of Sanchuan Town. However, due to the matter of the Three True Disciples, he had relaxed his control over it, which made it feel that it had an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Fortunately, this wicked creature wasn't entirely useless; it could draw some fire for him, so he let it go and allowed the other party to harm the child this time.

As for cause and effect or retribution, it doesn't matter. This is what he thinks, and there's no denying it.

He just wants to survive, and he'll stop at nothing to do so.

Of course, if a righteous person were to come and kill him, he would have no complaints, because what's done is done.

"Hey! Time to pay your protection money!"

The observation was interrupted when an uninvited guest arrived at the stall: Wang Dalai, a notorious local thug from Sanchuan Town, came to collect protection money.

Russell had considered using some means to get rid of this guy, but Zhao Yan stopped him. According to Zhao Yan's investigation, although Wang Dalai had a bad temper, he was a real man when it came to getting money. Once someone had taken protection money from him, anyone else who wanted to cause trouble would have to get past him first.

Unsurprisingly, Zhao Yan, who had given all his money to Russell for travel expenses, was severely beaten by thugs for not paying the full protection fee.

Gao Haoguang, who was on his way to the Other Shore Mountain to find the Corpse-Extinguishing Talisman, happened to encounter this incident. With the idea of ​​punishing evil and promoting good, he performed a heroic rescue, saving Zhao Yan from Wang Dalai's clutches.

The two thus formed a bond and began to discuss the question of whether people would be able to have enough to eat in the future.

In a corner unnoticed by anyone, the Three Truths Under the Same Moon Token shone brightly, and an illusory vortex slowly opened and then closed in an instant.

"..."

coming.

On the summit of the other side, Russell opened his eyes. Although the time was short, it was enough for him. Amidst the twinkling stars, a wisp of thought carried two paper figures downstream along the path of cause and effect.

Is that my master's wife's aura?

Well, perfect.

Russell stood up and began to release his spiritual sense without any hesitation.

A straight line can be drawn between two points.

Although this statement is somewhat inappropriate in this context, Russell did indeed do just that.

He lives in the present world and leaves an anchor point in the future. What he needs to do now is to leave his mark in every moment of these hundred years.

Although the punishment of causality began the moment the world became aware of his actions, this level of punishment, even when combined with the constant erosion of time, could not stop his actions.

Just wait a little longer, I'll open this passage.

Just as he was feeling moved, Russell caught a glimpse of Zhao Yan, who was chatting animatedly with Gao Haoguang. Suddenly, his lips twitched, because he saw Zhao Yan, whose identity as a Dharma Corpse had been exposed, stuffing a blood-soaked figure imbued with the Rejuvenating Blood Body Technique into Gao Haoguang's mouth.

Russell:

(〝▼plate▼)
You rascal Zhao Erhuo!

I'm working myself to the bone to save your life, and you're secretly thinking of taking on another apprentice behind my back.

What's the difference between this and parents having a second child behind their son's back?

Not to mention that he did this in broad daylight, right in front of him.

What is this called? A blatant criminal!

I'm so angry!

After a moment of impotent rage, Russell sighed and thought, "Oh well, he's my mentor, so I'll forgive him."

The battle on the other side also began soon afterward.

The eight people had found the corpse that possessed the supernatural power of "Bird and Beast Body" and could freely transform into various birds and beasts. They chased after it all the way, and under Russell's influence, they approached the direction of the Other Shore Mountain without deviating from its course, and were intercepted in front of the Other Shore Mountain.

The Laoshan magic can control ghosts to attack, the Five Elements Sect uses the Five Stars magic to assist, and together with the large-scale area-of-effect damage of the Three True Treasures Method of the three sects, the magic corpse was seriously injured in no time.

This was even without Hai Shan making a move.

"I enjoyed talking with you, but I have other things to do now. I'll come back to you after I've dealt with these issues, and I'll introduce you to a senior brother later."

Zhao Yan swapped the positions of his main body and his avatar using a substitution technique.

He was in an extremely good mood.

Because none of the Sanzhen disciples who tracked them down here possessed even a minor supernatural power.

Even if Jiang Mingzi left them some talismans or magical artifacts, they wouldn't be able to support them at all.

After Zhao Yan left, Gao Haoguang didn't hesitate for a second, scrambling and crawling towards the location of the stone tablet on the other side of the mountain. He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew who Zhao Yan's murderous intent was aimed at in that instant.

Not long after, Zhao Yan killed Gu Qian, Gu Hou, and A Pao with overwhelming strength. Just as he was about to take the lives of Ma Chao and his two disciples, Hai Shan appeared to stop him. The umbrella-shaped magic weapon in his hand was called "Momentary Longevity Flower", which could slow down the time of things under the umbrella except the user to 0.05 times.

Relying on this magical artifact, Hai Shan, who already possessed exceptional talent, struggled to hold on against Zhao Yan.

Seeing Hai Shan's defeat and the imminent annihilation of the Sanzhen Sect, Gao Haoguang finally retrieved the three talismans left to him by Jiang Mingzi—

【Three True Heavenly Descent Divine Weapon Talisman】, 【Three True Scattered King Sword Formation Talisman】, 【Three True Profound Creation Talisman】

The first talisman can gather earth and stone to summon a powerful divine general.

Once activated, the second talisman can command numerous golden light swords to form a sword array.

The third talisman is an auxiliary talisman. It can double the power of the [Three True Kings Sword Formation Talisman] without the need for magic power to activate it.

With the help of the Three True Heavenly Divine Weapon Talisman, Gao Haoguang was able to contend with Zhao Yan's divine power, the Great Evil Blood Body, for a short period of time.

With the Three True Kings Sword Formation Talisman, Gao Haoguang can completely annihilate Zhao Yan.

Russell watched all of this unfold.

To bring something to life, you must first kill it.

Finally, beneath the golden sword array that swirled in the sky like fish swimming in the sea...

Zhao Yan's body was destroyed, leaving only his head, which re-evolved into a body, but his life force was exhausted and there was no possibility of resurrection. He faced his own death.

"What a sorry sight," Zhao Yan sighed, looking at himself. "Luckily, A Luo didn't see me, or he would have laughed at me mercilessly."

"A Luo? Is that your eldest disciple?" Gao Haoguang asked.

“Yes, he’s a good kid too. If you met him, you’d probably like him too.” Zhao Yan nodded, but his gaze lingered on a spot behind Gao Haoguang.

Gao Haoguang also noticed Zhao Yan's unusual behavior and hurriedly turned around to look. There, a phantom light and shadow were gathering, transforming into Russell's figure.

"Aro?" Zhao Yan asked in a trembling voice, "How did you get here?"

"Didn't you tell me to go and come back as soon as possible, Master?" Russell said with his hands on his hips and laughed. "Don't worry, the corpse in Qingshan Town has been completely destroyed."

"Ah... I'm sorry to disappoint you, A'Luo, with my appearance like this." Zhao Yan scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed as the master to have his disciple see him in such an awkward state.

“Don’t be silly, I’ve always known.” Russell walked up to Zhao Yan, a wisp of ethereal light condensing at his fingertips: “Master, do you believe me?”

"Don't do anything foolish," Zhao Yan cautioned, quite pleased with Russell's growth, before slowly closing his eyes.

"Then, Master, see you again a hundred years from now. Remember to bring the gift I made to your wife." Russell pointed a finger at Zhao Yan's brow, shattering Zhao Yan's last vestige of life.

From Gao Haoguang's perspective, the world before him lost its color in an instant, as if it had turned into an old photograph. Then, the space and time in this place paused like an old movie, and then it was played in reverse.

Over the past three years, the murders committed by Zhao Yan in Sanchuan Town, or those caused by him, have come back to life one after another.

For example, the two children killed by the corpse this morning, the eldest son of Mr. Wu who was mistakenly killed, and so on...

Among these people, Russell selected those with the deepest karma and killed them one by one.

Even after death, one's karma remains.

Russell also bore the karmic consequences of Zhao Yan's actions.

"What do you want to do?" Gao Haoguang looked at everything happening in front of him in disbelief.

"Watch closely." Russell slowly stretched out his hand and clenched it. In a world invisible to the naked eye, Russell grasped countless invisible veins. An inexplicable power descended upon Russell, causing the space around him to freeze inexplicably.

The void and the world began to shatter from his center, with layers upon layers of bubbles filling the entire universe.

Everything seemed unreal.

"He transforms freely, he transforms eternally."

Russell's thoughts exploded, and in the clear blue sky, countless stars began to circulate.

All the brilliance of heaven and earth was obscured by it, and the world was shrouded in white.

In the void of chaos, Russell sensed the surging of time, the rushing of water, and the apparent birth of order within the chaos.

When did the moon first shine on people today? When did the moon shine on people of the past?

The heavens and earth are vast and timeless, like countless stars that have always illuminated humankind.

Relying on this ancient star that has accompanied Earth since its birth, he projected his image onto every moment of the past and present.

In the vast river of time, he is like a skilled surgeon wielding a scalpel.

They seized Zhao Yan's human body and copied all his memories as a Dharma Corpse, then used the Rejuvenating Blood Body to reshape his body, allowing him to flow downstream.

Sanchuan Town, 2020 AD.

On the other side of the mountain.

Before countless members of the Gods.

Above the sky, a bright moon hung high in the heavens, casting its gentle light.

Countless starlight intertwined.

Between nothingness and reality, a paper figure holding another paper figure is born out of thin air and falls into the hands of Shangguan Xiao, who is surrounded by enemies.

On the paper figure, a drop of blood suddenly overflowed, then spread, growing into a body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah Yan!" Shangguan Xiao couldn't contain his joy as he stroked his lover's cheek.

"Senior sister?" Zhao Yan opened his eyes, feeling his heart beating and the vibrant life force within him, and he couldn't believe it.

Where is this place?
How did I transform from a corpse back into a human?

Is it Aro?
Countless questions exploded in my mind.

He remembered what Bertrand Russell had told him on his last night, that they would meet again in a hundred years, and quickly asked, "Senior sister, what year is it now?"

“In the Gregorian calendar, it’s 2020,” Shangguan Xiao replied.

"Hey! What are you guys doing! Are you going to fight or not?"

The current successor of the Three Truths Dharma, Zhou Liuqing, and Duan Xinglian, the holder of the Three Truths Moon Token, watched the scene unfold before them, bewildered.

Especially Duan Xinglian, who had clearly seen the man in front of him from the Three Truths in the Same Month Token not long ago.

Zhao Yan, who should have been a corpse exterminated a hundred years ago, why is he now appearing in the world as a human?

"Oh, right, Senior Sister, this is for you." Zhao Yan opened his hand, revealing a slightly wrinkled paper figure inside. Shangguan Xiao didn't understand why, but she never refused Zhao Yan's requests.

She grasped the paper figure; she died, and then she came back to life.

Just like Zhao Yan, he survived in 2020 as a human being.

In 1906, not too far in the past, another cause and effect was transferred to Bertrand Russell.

But it didn't matter to him.

If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry.

"All causes and effects are imposed upon me."

He sighed deeply, as if his words carried the law of heaven, and that his pronouncements were lawful.

Like endless years, yet also like a fleeting moment of beauty, the stars rise and fall in the cycle of life and death.

Countless causal chains, both illusory and real, firmly enveloped the spacetime in which Russell resided.

An unprecedented and unparalleled karmic punishment, beyond words, has descended. (End of Chapter)
