Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 301 One Person Does It, One Person Takes the Responsibility?

After an unknown amount of time, when Chengzhen slowly opened his eyes, what came into view was the ceiling of the inn.

A look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously tried to get up.

Just as Chengzhen was about to move, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly came from all over his body!
The intense pain made Chengzhen instinctively want to let out a wail, but when he tried to shout, he found that his throat was already so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound.

"woke up?"

A familiar voice reached Chengzhen's ears. Upon hearing the voice, Chengzhen was first taken aback, then a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

So it was him. No wonder...

Zhao Zhen slowly walked to Chengzhen's window and glanced at Chengzhen lying on the bed, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

"Your injuries are severe; all your meridians are shattered. It's a miracle you're still alive."

Upon hearing that all the meridians in his body had shattered, Chengzhen's pupils contracted sharply.

As a cultivator, he was naturally well aware of the consequences of having all his meridians shattered.

The world of supernatural beings is full of strange and wonderful techniques and schools of thought, but no matter what school it is, the flow of Qi can never go around one point, and that is the meridians.

If we compare Qi to a vehicle, then the meridians in the human body are the roads that the vehicle travels.

What's the use of having the best car if there's no road?

In other words, from this moment on, Chengzhen's decades of reverse cultivation have been completely wasted. From now on, he has become a useless person who is even worse than an ordinary person!
Thinking of this, Chengzhen couldn't help but shed a tear of despair.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen felt a pang of reluctance, but to live up to the Left Sect Leader's entrustment from years ago, he steeled himself and continued expressionlessly:

"The disciples who came out with you earlier have all died at the hands of Quanxing..."

Chengzhen slowly closed his eyes. The greatest sorrow is the death of the heart. He was already in utter despair, so he didn't have much of a reaction when he heard the news.

"Actually, I was already there when you first met Xie Zhu and the others."

Chengzhen, who had completely given up hope, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing the news, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhao Zhen by the window.

In response, a cold-blooded smile gradually crept onto Zhao Zhen's lips.

"You heard me right. I could have saved you from the very beginning, but I didn't. Senior Brother Chengzhen, why do you think that is?"

"you……"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Chengzhen's hoarse voice miraculously recovered somewhat.

"Didn't you say it yourself? I'm not a member of your Trinity Sect, so why should I meddle in other people's business?"
In fact, a similar deadly situation had already occurred once in Qingyi City. However, that time, in order to repay the kindness of Master Zuo, I forcibly dragged Master Zuo along to protect you... no, or rather, to protect the Sanyi Sect from this calamity.

This time, I decided to let things take their course. Sure enough, without Master Zuo's protection, this outcome wasn't unexpected.

"This is clearly...my mistake...why...should my...three disciples...pay the price?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen revealed a mocking expression.

"Senior Brother Chengzhen, you have been the head of the Sanyi Sect for many years, why can you still ask such a childish question?"
Human beings are essentially a collection of all social relationships. There is no such thing as one person doing something and taking all the blame.
Moreover, as the leader of the Sanyi Sect, your every move and word represents the entire Sanyi Sect!
As members of the Sanyi Sect, it is only natural for the three of them to pay the price for their sect leader's mistakes!

Hearing Zhao Zhen's cold and almost heartless words, Chengzhen's anger was hard to calm down for a long time, and even her speech became much smoother.

"If that's the case, then why did you save me in the first place? Why didn't you just watch me die!" "Die? That would have been far too easy for you, Senior Brother Chengzhen~"

As she spoke, Zhao Zhen smiled and carried a stool to sit down next to Chengzhen's bed.

"I know that now that your cultivation has been destroyed, you must really want to just die."

But don't forget, before he died, Master Zuo entrusted the entire burden of the Sanyi Sect to you!
If you die like this, how can you face the spirit of Master Zuo in heaven?
After you die, how will you face your mentor?!

"you!!!"

The veins on Chengzhen's forehead bulged out. If looks could kill, Zhao Zhen would probably be riddled with holes by now.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die. I've already sent someone to notify Lu Jin to come and pick you up."

Senior Brother Chengzhen, this is the last time I will call you Senior Brother. From now on, whether the Sanyi Sect lives or dies will have nothing to do with me anymore.

As for you... whether you hate me or want to kill me in the future, I'll wait for you.

boom!
After saying that, Zhao Zhen slammed the wooden door shut, leaving Chengzhen alone in the room, screaming incessantly.

Outside the door, Zhou Zhengyang, who had been keeping watch, rushed to greet them upon seeing this.

He was right outside the door, so he heard everything that was being said inside.

"Chairman Zhao, by being so frank, I'm afraid that not only will Master Wu not be grateful to you in the future, but the Sanyi Sect might even turn against us..."

"Let them turn against each other then. We already have enough enemies in the world. We're not afraid of getting itchy from having too many lice. We won't make a difference if we lose one more family, the Trinity."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, then reached out and rubbed his temples.

I'm still a little uncomfortable with deliberately playing the villain.
"Were all the Quanxing members arrested?"

"This……"

A hint of difficulty flashed in Zhou Zhengyang's eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Zhao Zhen frowned.

"Aside from the few who fought to the death under Master Wu, and the mournful Zhu Yan whom you killed on the spot, Chairman Zhao, the identities of the remaining Quanxing members who attacked the Sanyi Sect in that alley have been ascertained."

Although I followed your instructions, Chairman Zhao, and secretly issued orders to the Jiangsu branch in my capacity as headquarters, however…

"but what?"

"But so far, our people haven't made any moves."

"Why? Is it because we don't have enough manpower, or are they busy with other tasks?"

"..."

Seeing Zhou Zhengyang's hesitant expression, Zhao Zhen immediately snorted coldly, and an aura of authority from a superior instantly enveloped Zhou Zhengyang!
"Say!"

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's stern shout, a bead of cold sweat immediately appeared on Zhou Zhengyang's forehead.
