One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

Chapter 23 "I...I killed the Old Celestial Master?!"

Li was reluctant to finish recording completely, repeatedly savoring the wonderful video.

"Hmm, not bad, iconic scenes included, +1."

"Maybe in the future, we can show this thing to Old Lu so he can relive his peak achievements."

"Sigh, Old Lu really has to thank me; he can brag about it for a year..."

The old celestial master naturally noticed Li Buren's arrival. He brushed the dust off his clothes and was about to come over to ask about the situation.

A dark figure suddenly appeared.

"Clatter".

A corpse was thrown directly in front of everyone; it was a demon from the Quanxing sect.

Meanwhile, a rustling sound came from the nearby woods, and a tall, imposing figure appeared.

"Rongshan? What are you doing here?"

The old master's expression instantly darkened.

Rongshan, that big, clumsy guy, was still scratching his head and chuckling.

"This kid tried to ambush me when I came down the mountain. I could tell at a glance he was a member of the Quanxing sect, so I easily dealt with him."

Seeing that Rongshan still seemed to be seeking credit, the old master's tone immediately became stern.

"Rongshan! I'm asking you what you're doing here! Didn't I tell you to go and guard Uncle Tian?!"

Rong Shan's expression changed instantly, and he stammered in response.

"Xiaoyu said... Grand Master, you are in great danger, and Uncle Tian also asked me to go down the mountain to help..."

"Nonsense! Old Tian can't protect himself, how can you leave him there alone!"

Rong Shan's heart was beating faster and faster, but he still tried to remain calm.

"It's alright, it's alright. That place is remote, there are no demons to bother us, it's fine..."

As he spoke, Rongshan's voice grew softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhiwei seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly looked at Li Buren.

"Unbearable, did you just come down from the mountain? Is there anything going on over there?"

Li couldn't bear it for a moment, then scratched his head.

"There's nothing much going on, really. It's just that Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing, and Lü Liang are whispering to each other somewhere nearby."

"I thought they were too noisy and talking too loudly, so I interrupted them."

The old celestial master and his group instantly changed color.

Rongshan, in particular, who had been struggling and trembling, fell to the ground with a thud.

"Quanxing...Gong Qing...Lü Liang..."

Rong Shan spat out those words through gritted teeth, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and he charged up the mountain like a madman.

The old master calmed down and turned to Li Buren to ask.

"What happened after you saw them from over there?"

Li scratched his head, unable to bear it any longer.

"What happened? Didn't I already say that I interrupted them because they were too loud?"

The old master scratched his head.

"I know, so what happened after you interrupted them? Where did they go?"

Li couldn't help but scratch his head frantically.

"I've already interrupted them, how else can they leave?"

Old Celestial Master: "?"

"But when I was about to leave, someone stopped me."

Li couldn't bear to put on a serious expression.

"Stop you? Who?"

The old master was clearly somewhat skeptical; who in the Quanxing sect could stop this kid?

"One unparalleled master, two heroes, Ding Shian."

The old master's face instantly turned ugly.

"Even Ding Shian has made a move?"

"So you mean you ran into Gong Qing and Lü Liang on the mountain."

"After dealing with them, you ran into Ding Shian, who intercepted you and forced you to hand over the two men. Then you hid here?"

Li couldn't help but nod.

Zhang Zhiwei could sense traces of a previous fight in Li Buren, and was almost certain that he was a master of Ding Shian's caliber.

After a moment, he frowned.

"Let's go up the mountain."

...

When Li Buren, the Celestial Master, and the others arrived at the mountain, Rong Shan's enormous body knelt before the door.

He opened his mouth wide, his body heaving, but he couldn't utter a cry.

The "Ahhh" sounds were deafening and trembling.

Zhang Lingyu cried out "Uncle-Master!" but then lost her voice.

The old master's face was expressionless as he looked at Tian Jinzhong, who was already dead in his wheelchair but had a peaceful expression and seemed to be in no pain.

How could he not know what secret Tian Jinzhong was keeping?

He simply didn't say anything, but now that someone has killed Tian Jinzhong for this secret, he has no choice but to kill all those people in order to keep the secret.

"Rongshan".

The old celestial master shook Rong Shan, who was kneeling on the ground, his voice as calm as the deep water of an ancient well.

"Life and death are predestined, so take it easy."

Rongshan seemed not to hear, and continued to utter "ah ah" with his mouth wide open.

The old celestial master slapped Rong Shan, sending him flying and crashing into a stone wall before stopping.

"Wow!"

A deafening cry rang out, and Rongshan was crying so hard that he almost fainted.

In an instant, every disciple of Longhu Mountain was in tears, and a sorrowful atmosphere pervaded the entire place.

The one who spent seventy years in a wheelchair, who, even after being crippled, still cherished every disciple of Longhu Mountain, was their beloved Grand Master.

died.

He died on the night the Quanxing gang attacked Longhu Mountain.

Li Buren stood in the crowd, looking at Tian Jinzhong in his wheelchair.

He silently bent down.

"I will keep this secret."

His thoughts returned to the moment when Li couldn't bear to deal with the two Quanxing members and was preparing to leave.

...

"I can't bear it, come here."

The old man, who hadn't slept for seventy years, spoke in a hoarse voice.

Tian Jinzhong, who had been somewhat agitated after the two rushed in, gradually calmed down.

It was a calm that had never been before.

The meditation he had cultivated over the past seventy years seemed to have reached its culmination at this moment, allowing the old man to truly find peace.

Tian Jinzhong certainly knew why Quanxing had come, and he also knew that he had kept this secret for far too long.

"I can't bear it. I know you're a smart man, and I know you can guess something, but promise Grandpa you'll be foolish this once, okay?"

Li Buren looked at the old man, whose withered face was somewhat frightening and whose eyes were bloodshot, and was somewhat moved.

"This isn't some kind of 'being sleepless' mentality; this is the seventieth year that conscience has been bound to the fire and tormented day and night!"

Li couldn't bear it and thought to herself, but she couldn't help but tear up.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Tian Jinzhong gave Li Buren a deep look, his gaze drifting as if he had returned to decades ago.

"Back then, Huaiyi was also incredibly talented and exceptionally intelligent."

"Sometimes I regret pressing Huaiyi for answers, and sometimes I regret not walking with Huaiyi."

"But most of the time, I wanted to die, to end it all."

"But my master said that those who seek the Tao cherish life the most, and told me not to actively seek death. No matter how difficult it is, I must live on."

"I have persisted like this for seventy years. Seventy years is already the age of seventy for ordinary people."

"This secret is old, but I am even older. Even if it weren't Gong Qing, it would have been someone else. I have kept this secret for far too long."
