Chapter 162: This Is Not Your Place to Run Wild!
Chapter 162: This Is Not Your Place to Run Wild!
"Stand still, don't move."
A cold voice echoed through the courtyard.
The movements of the Supreme Grandmaster instantly froze.
At this moment, a vast force was being transmitted from the large hand on his shoulder.
It seemed that if he took another step forward or showed any resistance, this force would surge down and tear him to pieces!
Shocked to the core, he dared not make the slightest move.
This sudden change instantly caught the attention of everyone present.
"Junior Brother Qin!"
Su Zimo and the others’ eyes lit up.
Wei Wushuang also turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, who had arrived just in time.
"Shallow Water Dreams of the True Dragon, truly a delusional fantasy!"
He sneered, then took a step forward, suddenly reaching out his hand.
The vast force seemed to tear through the void; though it was just a simple motion, it created an overwhelming pressure that was hard to bear!
"Second Brother!!"
Wei Wujie shouted, trying to stop his second brother from making a move.
However, Wei Wushuang seemed to ignore him, and his large hand continued to descend toward Qin Zheng.
Pang!
Just as everyone thought Qin Zheng would be sent flying and severely injured by this palm strike, a heavy, muffled sound suddenly echoed.
The ground beneath everyone's feet trembled as if a heavy object had crashed down.
Qin Zheng also extended his hand, gripping Wei Wushuang's wrist like a vise, preventing him from bringing it down any further.
"You?!"
Feeling the force transmitted through his wrist, Wei Wushuang’s expression changed, and he looked at Qin Zheng with shock and suspicion.
At this moment, Qin Zheng had one hand on the Supreme Grandmaster’s shoulder and the other gripping Wei Wushuang’s wrist, yet he remained calm and composed.
"Regardless of your status, this is not a place for you to run wild."
Qin Zheng looked at him, his eyes slightly cold, and spoke calmly.
Wei Wushuang frowned, about to say something more.
Crack!
At this moment, the force on his wrist intensified, and a faint crack of bone could be heard.
A flash of pain crossed Wei Wushuang’s face. When he looked up at the young man in front of him, he saw an unmasked coldness in his eyes.
In the end, he did not say anything more but merely huffed and fell silent.
Seeing him lower his head, Qin Zheng released his grip, swept past the two of them, and walked to Wei Wujie’s side.
"Master, are you alright?"
Wei Wujie shook his head, indicating he was fine, then looked at the opposite side and said, "If Second Brother came here just to mock me, then please leave."
"As you can see, I am doing well here, and my disciples are also doing well."
Wei Wushuang hung his hands, looking at Wei Wujie. After a few moments, he coldly huffed and turned to leave.
"Brother has asked me to come and take you. We will set off early tomorrow morning. Whether you come or not is up to you."
Before leaving, he paused, turned to look at Wei Wujie, and said these words.
After speaking, he used his Lightfoot Technique and instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The Supreme Grandmaster followed Wei Wushuang’s figure and quickly left as well.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Zheng with some fear.
To crush Wei Wushuang’s wrist bones bare-handed, how much strength must one possess!
After the two left, Fu Yu arrived late. He was responsible for calling Qin Zheng, but he had come a bit slowly.
Noticing the heavy atmosphere in the courtyard, he also fell silent.
"Brother."
Wei Wujie murmured, lost in thought.
Qin Zheng and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say, and could only temporarily stay by his side.
"You have seen a spectacle."
After a moment, Wei Wujie’s voice suddenly sounded.
Without waiting for the others to speak, he continued, "I come from the Wei family in the Capital City. The person just now was my second brother."
This point was clear to Qin Zheng and the others, as Wei Wujie had called him “Second Brother” several times.
It was just that this second brother didn’t seem to care much.
Wei Wujie paused here, pondering where to start.
After a few moments, he spoke again, "When I was young, I had decent talent and abundant resources. I quickly advanced to the Supreme Grandmaster realm."
"Thus, I became arrogant, thinking I would be the next National Guardian Saint of the Great Jin Dynasty, with a bright future ahead."
"At that time, our Ancestor had just killed a great Demon Saint, and the Wei family was granted the opportunity to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele."
"Our Ancestor had reached the peak and no longer needed this opportunity, so he passed it down to the family’s disciples."
"At that time, among the family, only the three of us brothers had reached the Supreme Grandmaster realm."
"Eldest Brother was a seasoned Grandmaster, just one step away from breaking through the limit and becoming a half-step Martial Sage."
"Second Brother’s realm was the same as mine, having just broken through not long ago."
"However, I was young and impetuous, with too high an ambition. I believed that if I seized this opportunity, I could break through the limit and become the nineteenth National Guardian Saint of the Great Jin Dynasty."
"So, I disregarded the feelings of others and demanded this opportunity, without considering that with this opportunity, Eldest Brother might very well break through the limit and become a half-step Martial Sage!"
"Eldest Brother had always pampered me since childhood, so he voluntarily gave up this opportunity. Second Brother did not compete, and the rest of the family, seeing my rapid progress, agreed to let me have it.
"After all, for the Wei Clan, having one more Demi-Saint isn't a big deal, but if they were to gain a National Guardian Saint, the significance would be vastly different."
He paused for a moment before finally sighing and saying, "I wasted this opportunity, and I didn't even reach the threshold of becoming a Half-step Martial Saint."
"Feeling disheartened, I realized that all my wild ambitions were just a joke. So, I locked myself in the courtyard and sat there for ten years!"
"My older brother cares for me. Seeing my state, he silently left the capital city to slay demons and eliminate monsters at the Great Jin Dynasty's borders, accumulating merit to get me another chance to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele."
"During one of his demon-slaying missions, he was ambushed by several Sage Envoys, severely injured, and damaged his foundation. He couldn't break through the limit and advance to the Half-step Martial Saint realm."
"I feel guilty, so I left the capital city and came to Qingzhou to slay demons and eliminate monsters, accumulate merit, and get my brother another chance to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele."
"That divine stele is truly extraordinary. As long as one can observe it, there's a great chance that my brother's damaged foundation can be restored."
". . ."
Wei Wujie spoke at length, sharing things he had never told anyone before.
After hearing his words, the others understood why his second brother treated him with such an attitude.
It turned out that the calm and steady Commander General in everyone's eyes was once a spoiled child of his family, which was quite a contrast.
Qin Zheng also keenly understood more from Wei Wujie's words.
The Wei Clan in the capital city was also a powerful family with a Martial Saint!
Only a Martial Saint could slay a Great Saint of the Demon Race, and it could only be a Martial Saint!
It was unknown how many National Guardian Saints the Wei Clan had.
The Wei Clan had only gotten a chance to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele after slaying a Great Saint.
He had only slain several dozen Demon Saints, and he was going to get a chance to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele?
Connecting this to what Wei Wujie had just said about coming to Qingzhou to slay demons and accumulate merit to get a chance to observe the Enlightenment Divine Stele.
Qin Zheng instantly understood that this opportunity wasn't earned through his own merit but was given to him by Wei Wujie!
He looked at Wei Wujie, about to speak.
At that moment, Wei Wujie also turned his gaze towards Qin Zheng.
Wei Wujie saw that Qin Zheng had understood the reason, so he shook his head lightly and said, "The court recently gave our Ancestor another chance to observe the divine stele. My brother has already experienced rebirth after collapse and advanced to the Half-step Martial Saint realm, so he doesn't need it anymore."
"I'm not gifted, and such an opportunity would be wasted on me. Giving it to you is the best choice."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and then continued, "Tomorrow, you'll leave with my second brother for the capital city. With him, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Master, what about you?"
Sun Zhilan quickly asked.
Wei Wujie's Essence, Qi, and Spirit had been scattered, and staying here would only lead to his death.
However, if he returned to the capital city, there was a chance that his scattered Essence, Qi, and Spirit could be restored!
After all, the Great Jin Dynasty's capital city gathered numerous powerful individuals, and nothing was impossible there!
However, Wei Wujie shook his head. He smiled calmly and said, "I've spent most of my life in Qingzhou, and this Linyuan City is indeed a good place to rest my bones."
He implied that he wouldn't return to the capital city.
Hearing this, the others fell silent and didn't say more.
They couldn't understand Wei Wujie's feelings, so they couldn't say anything.
Qin Zheng remained silent for a few breaths before finally agreeing with a 'yes.'
Observing the Enlightenment Divine Stele was indeed a rare opportunity, and it could lead to a transformative change in his strength!
So, he didn't want to give up on it.
If not, he could slay a few Great Saints in the future and repay Wei Wujie.
After Qin Zheng agreed, Wei Wujie's face showed a hint of fatigue, and he said, "Alright, you all can go back now."
Hearing this, the others left, leaving Wei Wujie alone in the courtyard.
"Sigh..."
At this moment, the old man let out a sigh filled with helplessness.
Time passed.
The next day.
Linyuan City, Commander's Manor.
"You're really not going back?"
Wei Wushuang's face turned slightly cold.
Wei Wujie, like an old and worn-out man, exuding dusk energy, shook his head and said, "I'm not going. Staying here is good."
After saying this, he turned to look at Qin Zheng and continued, "This is my most talented disciple. I'll trouble my second brother to bring him back to the capital city."
Wei Wushuang's gaze shifted to Qin Zheng, and his eyes showed a hint of apprehension as he said, "You're giving him the opportunity you accumulated over decades?"
Wei Wujie nodded calmly and said, "He will become the National Guardian Saint of the Great Jin Dynasty!"
"Hmph! You're still as blindly self-important as before!"
Wei Wushuang snorted, then turned and got into the carriage, saying, "This is your choice, and I won't interfere. But my brother asked me to give you a message."
"He doesn't blame you!"
After saying this, he entered the carriage, and it slowly drove away.
