Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 24: Helping Others is a Joy

“Alas, to be honest, regarding the incident with Senior Brother Li Jianyin from the day before yesterday, the three of us brothers feel quite guilty,” Chu Yang sighed deeply, his emotions clearly visible. “So, in regards to your visit today, our senior brother did not resist. Allowing you to vent your frustrations can be seen as giving you an explanation for that incident.”

He expressed his disappointment, saying, “However… a lone man fighting alone should not disturb the Purple Bamboo Garden like this or be so arrogant! Tell me, with such actions, where will the reputation of our Purple Bamboo Garden be placed?”

“Fellow brothers in the same sect, we are united as one. Why must you push us so hard?” Chu Yang’s expression turned grave with indignation. “You have hurt someone… that’s alright, but you still want to act like victims… How can you be so shameless?”

As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone present was left speechless, nearly spitting blood. The three people secretly watching from within the Purple Bamboo Garden also felt their blood rush!

Can a person really be this shameless?

Taking advantage and pretending to be innocent isn’t something that can just be done like this…

“Look, my skills have easily defeated Qu Ping. How much stronger do you think my senior brother, Stone Thousand Mountain, is? He is several times stronger than I am!” Chu Yang said angrily and wronged, “My senior brother’s martial arts far exceed yours, yet he did not resist and allowed you to vent your frustrations. What more do you want? Must you kill someone?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunyan and the others looked at the already unconscious Stone Thousand Mountain with a hint of caution in their eyes!

Indeed, if a junior brother’s skills have reached such a level, how could the elder brother Stone Thousand Mountain be weak?

It seems that this time, competing for the position of elder brother, Stone Thousand Mountain would become a formidable rival!

“Now, you’ve injured one of us, and I’ve helped you out a great deal. Although we have suffered some losses, I choose to repay a grievance with kindness. After all, we are brothers in the same sect. What can’t be resolved? Let’s consider this matter settled,” Chu Yang said generously. “For the sake of Second Martial Uncle, I will not hold it against you.”

Liu Yunyan and the others felt that they were about to faint, their vision filled with stars.

You’ve already beaten someone to the point of being bloody and half-dead, and you still have the face to suggest ‘letting it go’… and with such an air of having granted a great favor, no less, for the sake of ‘Second Martial Uncle’…

“Of course, if you brothers want me to help you out, I won’t refuse. I have always believed that helping others is a virtue. I always keep this teaching of our sect in mind.”

Chu Yang smiled sheepishly. “I feel a bit embarrassed saying this, but I’m just like that—I’m used to helping others out, to be there for those in need, especially for my fellow brothers. We are all one family… yes, I would even risk my life to help…”

Liu Yunyan and the others looked at Qu Ping on the ground and shivered. Is this helping…? Helping your bird’s head… We are not fools…

The others’ eyes were fixed on Liu Yunyan’s face, clearly waiting for his reaction.

But Liu Yunyan found himself in a difficult position. Although he was ranked in the top ten, and his skills surpassed those of Qu Ping, after witnessing Chu Yang's battle just now, he understood that he would definitely not be a match for Chu Yang!

In such a bizarre combat style, if it were him, he would suffer a great loss!

If he stepped forward and lost… that would be an unbearable blow to his sect!

Moreover, he could not afford to lose face.

“Chu Yang, good strategy! Let’s call it a day for this matter!” Liu Yunyan thought for a moment and decisively said in a gloomy tone, “When the eighth-generation disciple ranking battle at Sky Tower begins, we will inevitably cross paths between Gathering Cloud Peak and Purple Bamboo Garden. At that time, let’s settle this under the watchful eyes of the entire sect!”
