Transcending the Nine Heavens

ss Zi, I want to talk to him for a while.”

“Alright.” Zi Xieqing lifted her foot and pointed on Hong Wuliang’s body.
Hong Wuliang’s whole body shuddered, revealing extreme agony and indignation in his eyes.

Zi Xieqing had sealed his elixir field and meridians.

“You don’t have to evade us,” Wei Wuyan said softly, “I also need some witnesses.”

“Alright.” Zi Xieqing and Chu Yang agreed at the same time.

Wei Wuyan turned around to look at Hong Wuliang.
Hatred inundated Wei Wuyan’s eyes, but he couldn’t stop his tears from falling down.
His whole body also trembled vehemently.

“Teacher…” Wei Wuyan’s lips twitched.
“Why? Is this really the case?”

Hong Wuliang looked back with complicated eyes.
A hint of guilt flashed across his eyes, and he shut his mouth and didn’t speak.

“Speak!” Wei Wuyan howled.

Hong Wuliang didn’t answer.

Wei Wuyan sat in front of Hong Wuliang, looking forlorn and at a loss.
Then, Wei Wuyan began to speak, seemingly to be speaking to Hong Wuliang, or himself, or to the heaven and earth.

“I acknowledged my teacher when I was young.
At that time, my teacher was extremely powerful, while I was only a small child.
My teacher caught his eyes on my aptitude, and after gaining permission from my family, he accepted me as his apprentice, and nurtured me carefully.”

“Under my teacher’s guidance, I improved step by step.
From nothing, I became a Martial Artist, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Revered Martial Artist, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Monarch, and Martial Saint…”

“My teacher has always been pleased with my performance, and he’ll reward me for every progress I’ve made.
Every time when I had battling practice outside, if I suffered losses, my teacher would be sure to stand up for me.
In the end, my family members grew old and left me, one by one; I only had my teacher by my side… At that time, my teacher was all whom I could depend on.
He’s all my hope, and the greatest person in my heart.”

“That year, I was a sixth stage Martial Emperor.
Because I was focused on practicing martial arts, I didn’t think of having a marriage at all.
My teacher was also very worried and always urged me to get married, saying that he wanted to hug his grand apprentice… And he even found marriage brokers for me…”

“But that year, my teacher returned from serious injuries.
He has suffered from the vicious Purple Crystal Hand! Originally, I had given in to my teacher, and decided to marry a woman.
But seeing the state my teacher was in, I had to take care of my teacher.
So I put down that thought.
From then on, I adventured the martial world and risked my life to complete blood-payer’s tasks, so as to earn purple crystals.
Till the day when I saw E’er…”

Wei Wuyan looked up sadly when he said till here.

But he didn’t talk anymore, only swallowing his saliva non-stop.
His breathing, which had originally calmed down, gradually started to whistle like a broken wind box.

“Teacher, since you didn’t speak, are you acquiescing what I’ve said? You don’t know how to refute me already, is it?”

Wei Wuyan asked in a low voice.

Not waiting for Hong Wuliang to answer, Wei Wuyan continued to speak, “Yes, E’er was killed by you.
My son Xiaozhan was also killed by you…”

“You owed me a great debt of gratitude, but the enmity between you and I is deeper than the deepest sea!”

Wei Wuyan let out a long sigh.

“There’re indeed reasons that I’m called Wei Wuyan! Because I’m faceless 1 at the very beginning; I’m faceless towards my wife because she’s killed by you.
I’m faceless towards my child because he has died because of me.
I’m faceless towards my ancestors because I’ve ended my posterity; I’m faceless towards the heaven because I’ve called a bastard a teacher; I’m faceless towards you, teacher, because I’ll definitely kill you! And let your life end in my hands!”

“I’m guilty to my wife and child because I didn’t show enough love towards them; I’m guilty towards my parents and ancestors because I was not filial towards them; I’m guilty towards my teacher because I’m not loyal towards him!”

“I’m indeed faceless!”

Wei Wuyan stood up and asked Chu Yang, “Do you have water? I want to wash my face.”

He received the water from Chu Yang’s water bag, washed his face carefully, and tidied his hair.
Then he asked again, “Do you have any clothes? I want to change mine.”

Chu Yang was silent for a long time, but finally, he still took out a set of clothes.

He didn’t know what Wei Wuyan was going to do.

But Chu Yang felt that, at this moment, Wei Wuyan was already dead.
Wei Wuyan’s heart was already dead.

Wei Wuyan received the clothes and wore them on.
Then he looked at himself up and down, and nodded.

Then he held Hong Wuliang up and let him lean straightly against a stone.

Then, Wei Wuyan retreated three steps back, adjusted his clothes and turned around to face Hong Wuliang.
Then he knelt down piously and prostrated for a consecutive nine times!

“Teacher, this is the last time that I’ll be calling you this way.
After these nine prostrations, our relationship will be over! You’ve fulfilled me, but also you broke me.
You shouldn’t have killed my wife and son!”

“The debt of gratitude I owed you is as great as a mountain.
I disdain and am reluctant to act against you today! I need to worship my wife and son first and tell them about the matter.
From today onwards, you and I shall be sworn enemies!”

Wei Wuyan stood up.
His eyes were cold and flickering with chilly light.
“Hong Wuliang, old thief! I’ll personally take your dog’s life when I meet you next time! To revenge for my wife and son!”

As he said, he resolutely turned around and went off with big steps.

And he never turned back!
