Chapter 899 - 849: Liudao’s Explanation! (Part 1)

A few claps of thunder shook the entire Divine Land.

The sky turned dark, as a web of lightning illuminated the heavens.

Whether they were ordinary citizens or those who had attained higher enlightenment.

Everyone knew that something significant must have happened somewhere.

Such an unexpected phenomenon, one could easily say, was more bizarre than snow in June.

In the eyes of those old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, shock was evident.

After all, such an event, with the entire sky as its backdrop, was something they were witnessing for the first time!

"Heavenly punishment? Who is being punished?"

"Towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain? What crime is being chastised?"

"I cannot calculate, not a single bit. What kind of person and what deeds could have provoked such celestial wrath?"

In countless corners, many enlightened people spoke in hushed tones with furrowed brows.

Yet the Heavenly Punishment Thunder came quickly and also left quickly.

The Ninth Layer Thunder crashed down.

The whole world returned to peace.

The dark sky also returned to its previous sunny brightness.

As if none of this had ever happened.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Qin Fan disappeared under the Heavenly Thunder.

Aside from the split Training Spirit Clan, only the lonely rocks, grass, and blood splatter remained.

Qin Fan seemed as if he had never existed.

Alive, he was unseen.

Dead, his corpse was unfound.

...

Jiangzhou.

Jinling.

Shanghai.

Hangzhou.

All of Qin Fan’s relatives and friends were sent back by the Six Paths while in a coma.

They lay peacefully on their beds, sleeping soundly, as if everything had been a dream.

No.1 Villa.

After placing Qin Chu and Wei Shuying on the bed.

The Six Paths sat alone on the living room sofa, with a face full of grief.

He looked up at the ceiling, feeling somewhat empty, bewildered, and guilty.

If only he had acted sooner, if only he had realized his mistakes earlier.

Would any of this have happened?

No-!

Absolutely, things would have developed in another direction.

But life does not offer chances for ’if’.

He had personally buried his chance at enlightenment.

Moreover, he had caused Qin Fan to invoke this impossible-to-survive Heavenly Punishment!

The power of those layers of Heavenly Thunder, he felt an ominous sense of destruction so terrifying that even he was shaken.

Let alone Qin Fan, without the Nascent Soul and Prison Suppressing Body, even if he had them, he would have no chance against the destructive fury of the Ninth Layer Heavenly Thunder.

Qin Fan is dead, leaving only legends.

This was the singular thought lingering in the chaotic mind of the Six Paths.

Not a word, not a movement.

Even the Six Paths forgot how long he had been sitting on the sofa.

He had temporarily dismissed all the servants of No.1 Villa.

The large villa, now silent, was eerily frightening.

How long had passed?

Suddenly.

Two terrified screams emerged from the bedroom.

"Little Fan!"

The voice was frantic and chaotic.

Equally hysterical.

Qin Chu and Wei Shuying, tears falling the moment their eyes opened, rushed out from the bedroom.

They clearly remembered everything that happened to them on Kunlun Mountain.

But now, they appeared back home, safe and sound?

If the previous events weren’t so vividly etched in their minds, they would have thought it a mere dream.

In their panicked yelling, the couple anxiously ran into the living room.

They didn’t see Qin Fan’s shadow.

But they saw a man sitting on the sofa, staring blankly.

"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin!"

Rising from the sofa, the Six Paths addressed them calmly.

"Who are you?"

Startled by the sudden voice.

Qin Chu and Wei Shuying stared in bewilderment.

"Young Friend Qin Fan is an ageless friend of mine, entrusted to me, I brought you back!" the Six Paths truthfully nodded.

"Where has Little Fan gone? Where did he go? What exactly happened? What is all of this?"

As soon as the Six Paths finished their words.

Wei Shuying lunged forward like a madwoman.

Her face pale and trembling, she tightly gripped the Six Paths’ arm, speaking in a disordered fashion.

"Mrs. Qin, don’t be agitated, calm down and listen to what I have to say!"

Silently gritting his teeth, the Six Paths softened his tone, soothing her.

"Shuying, calm down first, let this gentleman speak slowly, speak slowly!"

Qin Chu, whose entire body was also trembling, spoke with a chattering jaw.

As he spoke, he gently patted Wei Shuying.

As a man.

As the head of the family.

He knew, Wei Shuying could panic, but he couldn’t.

"Okay, okay, sir, I’m calm, I’m calm, sit down, sit down!"

With Qin Chu’s reassurance, Wei Shuying’s emotions slightly improved, yet she still urgently and anxiously insisted.

"Mrs. Qin, you’re welcome, don’t panic! Let me put it this way, Young Friend Qin left temporarily because there was an urgent matter in Huaxia, so he entrusted me to bring you all back! There’s nothing to worry about, maybe none of you want to revisit that scene, but it’s all over! Everyone is safe now! Rest assured!"

Unaccustomed to lying, the Six Paths carefully monitored his emotions to avoid showing any weaknesses, and with a sincere gaze, he slowly expressed his words.

"That person, didn’t that person ask Little Fan to make a choice? Since we were able to come back, doesn’t that mean something happened to Little Fan? Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me, I want Little Fan, I want my child, I want him now, right now!"

To the claims of the Six Paths, Wei Shuying was obviously not inclined to believe.

As she spoke, her emotions spiraled out of control.

For her at this moment, as long as Qin Fan appeared, as long as her child appeared.

She would let go of everything, she just wanted Qin Fan back!

"Mrs. Qin, calm down! What I’ve told you is the truth; Young Friend Qin left because of urgent matters! Furthermore, he won’t be able to contact you for some time! But believe me, Young Friend Qin is fine! If it weren’t true, what would be the point in deceiving you? Indeed, at that time, the situation forced Young Friend Qin to make a choice, but at the last moment, I intervened and helped him out of the crisis! Do you want me to demonstrate my abilities for you?"

Patiently, he finished speaking.

The Six Paths rarely spoke so lengthily.

After he finished, he bent over and placed his hand on the redwood coffee table.

Silently.

The next second.

The sound of cracking began!

The sound of snapping stretched out.

The entire coffee table instantly shattered into pieces!

Watching this scene.

Qin Chu and his wife were dumbfounded!

With such an inexplicable and sudden display, their subconscious started to believe the story of the Six Paths.

After all, they had no other choice; at least it provided some comfort to themselves.

With someone of such capability assisting them, it seemed not impossible for them to have been rescued from peril.

"But why didn’t Little Fan say anything before leaving? Didn’t he consider that we would all worry about him? He can’t do this, he shouldn’t do this, what if something happens to him, how could his father and I live!" said Wei Shuying, tears streaming down her face.

"Mrs. Qin, I understand you, and I appreciate your feelings! But there was no choice, it happened so suddenly, which is why Young Friend Qin had to leave urgently, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked me to bring you back! Rest assured, he’s fine. As to what he’s doing, I have no idea, but he will be alright, trust me, and trust Young Friend Qin! Okay?" the Six Paths said in a deep voice, suppressing the turmoil of his emotions.

"Okay, okay, that brat must have thought things through, by the way, what should we call you, sir? Thank you, and thanks for bringing us all back!" Qin Chu nodded, his expression somewhat forlorn.

Vaguely, he sensed something was amiss.

But couldn’t pinpoint it, and he didn’t dare to bring up his suspicions, fearing it might further upset Wei Shuying.

"Mr. Qin, no need for courtesy, you can call me Six Paths! Now that you’re awake and I’ve delivered Young Friend Qin’s instructions, I shall take my leave! I have other matters to attend to; we can talk about other things another day! Farewell!"

Saying that, the Six Paths arched his hand in salute.

Then, in Qin Chu and his wife’s somewhat bewildered send-off, he walked out.

Given that the Six Paths had said so much, they could no longer hold him back for more queries.
