The few elders of Kunlun continued chatting for a while, mainly discussing the future development route. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Qing Shan stood up and said, "Everyone is tired today. Let's go back and rest. Two elders, don't continue thinking about it. The past is the past … …"
Ji Mie and Elder Hong Yue responded in succession. Both of their faces were filled with fatigue. They stood up, pushed open the door and walked out first. Qing Shan followed behind them. After he walked out, he did not return to his own residence but he went straight to the entrance of Zhang Shuren's courtyard. There were two Kunlun disciples guarding the entrance. However, when they saw that the new supreme leader had arrived, they did not stop him and allowed Qing Shan to walk in.
Qing Shan pushed the door open and saw Zhang Shuren drinking from a big bowl. His face was full of anger.
Seeing Qing Shan, Zhang Shuren frowned. But he still stood up and cupped his hands, "Headmaster."
"Yes." Qing Shan nodded slightly and said, "Drinking?"
"Yes, drinking."
"Okay, let me drink with you." Qing Shan sat down on the stool. Although Zhang Shuren was in a bad mood, he could not say anything. He went to find a pair of chopsticks and poured some wine for Qing Shan. Then he sat down, raised his bowl and drank half of it in one gulp.
Qing Shan took a sip and put down the bowl. He picked up the chopsticks and ate some food. Then he asked, "Are you in a bad mood? Are you angry?"
Zhang Shuren said angrily, "I just don't understand. We are losing face now. Instead of this, we might as well fight to the death. Why are you so soft in front of Xiao Bing? Why are you so afraid of him? "
Qing Shan sighed and said, "Don't you understand? Times have changed. The era when martial arts could make a country feel awe is over. If it was a few hundred years ago, some of the top ancient martial arts sects were roped in and relied on by the country. The country did not dare to offend the ancient martial arts world too much. Often, they would turn a blind eye to some things. But can it be the same now? Can't you see the current situation after the mountain was unsealed? Martial arts haven't completely declined, but science and technology have really developed. Those guns and cannons from a hundred years ago might not have much lethality against Empyrean powerhouses like us, but now, even we might lose our lives. "" That's right. That's right.
Zhang Shuren said, "I'd rather die in glory than live in dishonor. Martial Brother Zhang Shuren, this is what I think in my heart. Why do we learn martial arts? Wasn't practicing martial arts to be superior to others? If we don't even have this, I don't think there's a need for our Kunlun to exist anymore. "
Qing Shan had a serious expression as he said, "Practicing martial arts is not just for the sake of being superior to others. Our Kunlun Sect exists to pass down the teachings of the Kunlun Sect. Firstly, no matter what we do, the bottom line is that the teachings of the Kunlun Sect must not disappear. As for the face, dignity, and reputation that you are thinking of, those are all for the sake of the individual. You are an elder … … you should think of the big picture. "
Zhang Shuren said indignantly, "What I can't stand the most is the so-called big picture. Kunlun Sect has been sealed for so many years. Now that we have finally seen the light of day again, we actually have to endure the anger of a little brat. No matter what, I can't swallow this anger. If we don't succeed, we die for a righteous cause. Senior Brother Zhang Shuren, you should bring us back our pride. To be honest, I feel that Xuan Mie shouldn't have died. If it was me, I would also do the same. "
Qing Shan looked at Zhang Shuren and shook his head, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Junior Brother, come. Let me toast you again. We have been brothers for so many years. In the past, we have always hoped to see the light of day again. I remember that we have talked about this topic countless of times. Now, we have finally achieved it. Actually, this is already a hope for our Kunlun Sect. I believe that the future will only get better and better."
The two of them clinked their wine bowls again. This time, both of them finished the wine in one gulp.
Qing Shan wiped the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he looked towards the door and said, "Who is it?"
Zhang Shuren was stunned for a moment. He immediately ran towards the door. Just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. After that, he saw a long sword had already pierced through his chest. His eyes were filled with disbelief, followed by anger. He struggled to turn his head and looked at Qing Shan who had a face full of pity. He clenched his teeth and said, "You … you actually want to kill me. Why?"
Qing Shan sighed. The pity on his face gradually disappeared. There was only ruthlessness in his eyes. He pulled the sword out from Zhang Shuren's body and inserted it back into the sheath. He said coldly, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. I also didn't want to do this. But for Kunlun Sect, I can only do this … You are too proud. You can't accept failure. You are burning with anger. If I don't kill you, sooner or later, you will bring a great disaster to Kunlun Sect. I am not afraid of death … But the next time, it is very possible that Kunlun Sect's orthodoxy will be destroyed by our hands!"
Zhang Shuren's pupils contracted slightly. Then, they gradually widened and became lax …
Qing Shan looked at Zhang Shuren who had already died on the ground. Thinking of the past, he squatted down and helped Zhang Shuren close his eyes. With a bit of self-blame, he said, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother. But I don't regret killing you. In the whole Kunlun Sect, you are the proudest and the most difficult to control. Since I can't help you resolve the anger in your heart, then I must kill you in the cradle. I can't let you become the weakness of Kunlun Sect in the future and bring disaster to Kunlun Sect!"
Qing Shan walked to the door and opened it. He slowly walked out and shouted to the disciples who were guarding outside, "Go inform Elder Ji Mie and Elder Hongyue. Ask them to come here!"
The two disciples replied, "Yes!"
Seeing that the two disciples had left, Qing Shan closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "I hope I didn't do anything wrong. Xuan Mie and Zhang Shuren both died in my hands. Let all the sins be concentrated on me."
Ji Mie and Hong Yue hurried in from outside. After seeing Qing Shan standing at the door, Ji Mie asked, "Headmaster, did you call us here for something?"
"Yes." Qing Shan said, "Come in with me."
After that, Qing Shan turned around and walked into the room. Ji Mie and Hong Yue looked at each other with doubt in their eyes, but they still followed him in.
After entering, looking at the body on the ground, Ji Mie cried out involuntarily, "The Sixth Patriarch … is dead? Who killed him? Was it Xiao Bing? "
Hong Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Bing has already forced us to this extent, and he still won't let us go?"
"No." Qing Shan said coldly, "I killed him."
"You … Headmaster, it's you?"
Hong Yue and Ji Mie looked at Qing Shan at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.
Qing Shan said coldly, "It's me. If this person doesn't die, Kunlun's orthodoxy will be destroyed."
These two were not fools. They were stunned at first, but soon understood what Qing Shan meant. In fact, they had long seen that Zhang Shuren was the same as Xuan Mie. They would make a move sooner or later, which might bring trouble to Kunlun Sect. But they just wanted to persuade Zhang Shuren later. They did not expect that Qing Shan would be so decisive and kill Zhang Shuren directly.
Qing Shan looked at the two of them and said, "Xuan Mie was killed by me, and Zhang Shuren also died by my hands. They were both my martial brothers, and Xuan Mie was our former headmaster. I have committed two major crimes. First, I offended my superiors, and second, I killed my fellow sect members. It's normal for you to blame me, but I will never regret it. For the future of Kunlun, I'm willing to bear all the sins. After I die, I will go to the ancestors of Kunlun Sect to explain and apologize!"
Ji Mie and Hong Yue did not know what to say. They hesitated for a moment. Hong Yue sighed first and said, "Headmaster, what you did is for the future of Kunlun. We can understand. Although you killed the Sixth Junior Brother … Alas … Don't tell others that you killed him. Just say that the Sixth Junior Brother committed suicide because of the grief in his heart."
Qing Shan nodded and said, "You deal with the things here. I will go first."
Ji Mie asked, "Headmaster, are you going?"
"To see Xiao Bing." Qing Shan sighed and said, "It's time to give in. Sometimes, although giving in is a step back, it is not for the sake of a step back. A step back is often for a few steps forward."
Both Ji Mie and Hong Yue sighed and then bowed and said, "Headmaster, I am sorry."
Although the two of them didn't feel good, especially since Qing Shan actually killed Zhang Shuren, they also knew that Qing Shan's heart was under a lot of pressure. The grief in Qing Shan's heart was no less than theirs.
Qing Shan slowly walked out of the courtyard and all the way to Xiao Bing's residence. When he walked into Xiao Bing's courtyard, he stood at the door and said directly, "Deputy Minister Xiao, can we have a talk in the room?"
Xiao Bing was resting in the room. Hearing Qing Shan's voice, he turned over and sat up. There was a smile on his face. He murmured to himself, "This new headmaster is a thoughtful person. Let me see what he has to say."
Xiao Bing walked over and opened the door. He looked at Qing Shan and said, "Headmaster Qing Shan, please come in."
Qing Shan answered and stepped in.
Xiao Bing said, "Headmaster, please sit down."
"Deputy Minister Xiao, please sit down."
The two of them sat down respectively. Then Qing Shan said in a shocking tone, "Zhang Shuren is dead. He is my Sixth Junior Brother. I just killed him."
There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Bing's eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face. He said meaningfully, "Headmaster Qing Shan, you have shown me your sincerity!"
