A single strike through the heart, clean and swift, even the Daluo Immortals descending upon the world would be at a loss.
Han Suzhen lowered her head to look at the blade tip in her chest, and with difficulty, turned to look behind her, only to see Chai Chuanxin quickly withdraw the dagger and hastily retreat.
"Pffft~"
Blood spurted out, causing another wave of horrified screams from those around.
"Why?" Han Suzhen looked at Chai Chuanxin, her eyes filled with confusion.
Chen Sanliang on the high platform was also dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at the scene, then suddenly let out a roar: "Brute, do you want to die?"
However, Chai Chuanxin swiftly stepped behind the Imperial Guards of Prince Pingbian’s Mansion, his face complex as he looked at Chen Sanliang and Han Suzhen, but he only let out a faint sigh without speaking.
On the high platform, Chen Sanliang was trembling with anger, his whole being as if struck by five thunders, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Chai Chuanxin, letting out a roar: "Brute, what are you doing!!!"
This was a disciple he personally recruited, but now he had killed his own wife with his own hands, he couldn’t comprehend why, for he had not treated Chai Chuanxin unfairly.
"I am merely standing on the side of reason; Han Suzhen, in order to win the argument, dared to employ despicable means to attempt to assassinate Mr. Wu. Such vile, shameless tactics are outrageous to both humans and gods." Chai Chuanxin’s voice was cold and firm: "Mr. Wu is the pillar of our Confucian institution, the cornerstone of our Confucian ideals, how could she harm him? This wretched woman dared to try to destroy our Confucian pillar, her crime deserves a thousand deaths! Killing her with one stab was too lenient!"
"Though she is my mentor’s wife, in the face of great righteousness, personal relations do not matter." Chai Chuanxin looks righteously at Chen Sanliang: "Master, as a man of letters, decorum and faith are etched into your bones, you should know what great righteousness is, right? You wouldn’t blame your disciple, would you?"
"Brute! Damn you! You truly deserve a thousand deaths! You should be cut to pieces!" Chen Sanliang on the high platform, in a fit of emotion, rushed down to beat Chai Chuanxin to death, but Mr. Wuliu waved his hand, and several Imperial Guards stepped forward to block him.
"From today on, we cut ties and sever relationships, no longer master and disciple! In the future, I will do everything to kill you, you ungrateful wretch." Chen Sanliang roared from the high platform.
"Han Suzhen dared to commit murder in broad daylight, my Academy will not leave it at that!" Over there, Mr. Wu clutched his severed arm, a hint of evil qi flashed in his eyes, then he looked at Chai Chuanxin:
"Chai Chuanxin, what you did was right. In the face of great righteousness, trivial personal emotions are insignificant. You acted with righteousness by destroying personal relations, saving me from crisis. That Chen Sanliang does not understand great righteousness and even expelled you from the school, but I cannot sit and watch your future destroyed. I intend to take you as my closed-door disciple, are you willing?"
"I am willing, disciple pays respects to teacher." Chai Chuanxin immediately knelt to the ground, full of joy in his voice.
Before everyone’s eyes, Chai Chuanxin directly changed allegiance.
Yet it was not over; Chai Chuanxin did not forget to stab Chen Sanliang with his words: "Teacher, in your heart, you only acknowledge small personal righteousness, oblivious of the world’s great righteousness. You have flaws in your character, you are unworthy to be my teacher. I advise you to abandon your studies, do not let others be misled by you. In the few months I studied under you, your knowledge seemed grand and insubstantial, entirely impractical, merely your own fantasies. I urge you to come out and see the world, see the knowledge in the world, awaken from unrealistic dreams early. Your knowledge will only mislead students, you are unworthy of pursuing knowledge!"
Chai Chuanxin’s verbal attack severed heart and mind, causing Chen Sanliang to black out, spitting out fresh blood!
To be so humiliated and negated by his most proud disciple, what face does he have left to pursue knowledge?
"Let’s begin the argument! No one can stop me from arguing. The death of a reckless woman is too trivial to affect the grand scheme of things?"
Mr. Wu cast an approving glance at Chai Chuanxin, slowly walking toward the high platform.
While beside, the Young Master Zhu Xun, seeing Han Suzhen’s corpse slowly falling, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Han Suzhen in his arms, but unfortunately, by that time, Han Suzhen had already passed away.
The Young Master held Han Suzhen’s body in a daze, his eyes full of vacancy, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Chen looked at Han Suzhen’s body lying on the ground, somewhat stunned: "Has Han Suzhen gone mad?"
Looking at Chai Chuanxin standing among the crowd, Zhang Chen showed a hint of shock in his eyes: "How could Chai Chuanxin do such a thing to Han Suzhen? Isn’t she his mentor’s wife? If this spreads, his reputation might be ruined, and his future completely destroyed!"
At this moment, a storm surged in Zhang Chen’s mind, and he was utterly shocked and speechless, but soon Zhang Chen came to his senses. With his wisdom, he glanced over the expressions of everyone on the scene and couldn’t help but gasp: "This is a conspiracy! Completely a conspiracy to destroy Chen Sanliang."
First, to kill his wife, causing a blow to his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, shaking his mind.
Then, his direct disciple completely negated his knowledge, using great righteousness to suppress small righteousness, another overwhelming blow to his mentality.
Zhang Chen’s Dharma Eye opened, looking toward the high platform, indeed seeing Chen Sanliang’s face twisted with rage, eyes full of fury, wishing he could rush down from the high platform to strangle Chai Chuanxin, but was blocked by the Prince’s Mansion’s Armored Warriors.
At this time, a fragrant wind swept by, and Xie Lingyun, dressed in black form-fitting armor, appeared by Zhang Chen’s side, whispering: "Chen Sanliang has been schemed against! Since Han Suzhen obtained the Flood Dragon’s flesh, her plan to assassinate Mr. Wu had already been leaked. Then the Academy used it to trap her, culminating in this counterattack. However, the only thing that the Academy did not expect was that Han Suzhen would actually dare to attack Mr. Wu, almost killing him on the spot."
