"Lu Jin, calm down! What you are doing now will only make things worse!" Zhang Hao shouted.

Lu Jin was touched by Zhang Hao's words. He stopped, but the anger in his eyes was still burning.

"Zhang Hao, how can you expect me to stay calm? This traitor caused the destruction of my Sanyi family. How could I let him go!" Lu Jin roared.

Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing and others stood aside, closely following the development of the situation. They knew that Lu Jin's questioning might reveal the secrets of the Trinity School back then, so they pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss any details.

"Li Muxuan, you are so brave! How dare you bring the evil boy Wu Gensheng to challenge our Sanyi Sect!" Lu Jin's voice exploded like thunder, making the eardrums of the people around him buzz.

Li Muxuan had no expression on his face and responded calmly: "Lu Jin, I am not here to challenge you, but to settle some old accounts."

"Old scores? What old scores do you have with Trinity Sect that you can settle?" Lu Jin sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, "You are nothing but an ungrateful person. Master took you in with good intentions, but you didn't know what was good for you and became a completely evil child!"

Li Muxuan frowned when he heard this, and recalled the past. He had regarded Zuo Ruotong as an immortal and wanted to become a disciple of the Sanyi Sect, but was humiliated by Zuo Ruotong. At that moment, the anger and humiliation in his heart burned like a flame, making him determined to challenge the Sanyi Sect.

"Lu Jin, you only know that I have become a completely evil child, but you don't know why I became like this." Li Muxuan took a deep breath and calmed down. "Back then, I came to Trinity with high hopes, but was humiliated by you. Although I, Li Muxuan, am not a great talent, I also have my own dignity and pride. I challenged Trinity only to prove my strength, not out of malice."

"Prove your strength? Who do you think you are? A Quan Xing evil boy is worthy of challenging my Sanyi Sect?" Lu Jin sneered, "You are nothing but a jumping clown. Even if you don't enter Quan Xing, you are not worthy of becoming a disciple of my Sanyi Sect!"

Li Muxuan was silent for a moment and said nothing more. He knew that no matter how he defended himself, Lu Jin would not understand his difficulties. Over the years, he had a deeper understanding of the past. He was no longer trapped by the grievances of the past, nor was he angry about Lu Jin's accusations.

However, Lu Jin refused to give up and pressed Li Muxuan step by step, asking him to confess at Zuo Ruotong's grave to express his regret for his actions.

"Li Muxuan, you must go to the master's grave to repent, otherwise I will never let you go!" Lu Jin's voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Li Muxuan sneered and said self-deprecatingly: "Repent? I, Li Muxuan, have done things with a clear conscience, why should I repent to anyone? Besides, your master and I are from the same school, and he is not necessarily more conscientious than me."

Hearing this, Lu Jin's face turned even darker. He waved his fist in anger, wanting to teach this ungrateful guy a lesson.

"Li Muxuan, are you just leaving like this?" Lu Jin's voice sounded behind him, with a bit of anger and unwillingness.

Li Muxuan stopped but did not look back. "Let the past be the past." His voice was calm and cold.

Lu Jin stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger. "That's easy for you to say! You are to blame for the downfall of Trinity Sect!"

Li Muxuan sighed softly, "Lu Jin, you and I both know that things are not that simple. The demise of the Sanyi Sect is the result of many factors, and it is not the fault of Wu Gensheng and I alone."

Lu Jin sneered, "You've pushed it cleanly. If it weren't for you and Wu Gensheng, how could Master..." Before he finished his words, tears welled up in his eyes.

Li Muxuan looked at Lu Jin, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that he could not change the past, nor could he eliminate the hatred in Lu Jin's heart. He could only endure it all silently, hoping that time would dilute everything.

At this time, Zhang Chulan and others also rushed to the scene. They saw the tense atmosphere between Li Muxuan and Lu Jin, and their hearts tightened. They knew that if Li Muxuan really left, Lu Jin's inner demons might become more serious.

"Li Muxuan, you can't leave!" Zhang Chulan shouted loudly.

Li Muxuan turned around and looked at Zhang Chulan and the others, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Why did you stop me?"

Zhang Chulan stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Lu Jin's inner demons have not been resolved yet. If you leave, he may become even crazier."

Li Muxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I can't solve his inner demons. You should understand that there are some things that he can only rely on himself."

Zhang Chulan and the others were disappointed when they heard this. They knew that Li Muxuan was right, but they were still unwilling to give in.

At this moment, Lu Jin suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, and his eyes became ferocious and terrifying. "All of you get out of here! I want to kill Li Muxuan and avenge my master!"

Zhang Chulan and others saw this and immediately joined forces to resist Lu Jin's attack. They knew that the current situation was beyond their control.

However, at this moment, Li Muxuan suddenly spoke up. "Lu Jin, do you really think that killing me can relieve the hatred in your heart?"

Lu Jin paused, and turned to look at Li Muxuan, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. "I..."

Li Muxuan continued, "Zuo Rutong's death and the demise of the Sanyi Sect are facts that cannot be changed. You hate me, so what? Can you turn back time and change the past?"

"Baby, don't you think this is strange?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask.

Feng Baobao blinked and shook his head, "What's so strange? Isn't the purpose of life to eat, sleep, and do what you like? Why think so much?"

Zhang Chulan smiled bitterly. Feng Baobao's straightforwardness always left him speechless.

At this time, Lu Jin's roar came from a distance. He pointed at Li Muxuan, his eyes full of anger: "How dare you mention Master's name! What qualifications do you have!"

Li Muxuan sneered, not afraid at all: "Lu Jin, you didn't obey the master's orders yourself, and you still have the nerve to blame me?"

The dispute between the two attracted everyone's attention. Zhang Hao stood aside and watched it all quietly. He knew very well that the root of the dispute was a sentence Zuo Rutong said before his death.

"There is no need to take revenge, you cannot take revenge, and there is no revenge to take." Zhang Hao whispered this sentence, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

When Lu Jin heard this, his body trembled violently, as if a corner deep in his heart was touched. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "You...how do you know?"

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to Li Muxuan: "Li Muxuan, do you think you did the right thing?"

Li Muxuan snorted and said proudly: "I have no regrets!"

"Have a clear conscience?" Zhang Hao shook his head. "You disobeyed master's orders and betrayed the sect. Is this how you can have a clear conscience?" Li Muxuan's face changed. He wanted to refute, but found himself speechless.

Lu Jin looked at the two of them, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He thought of his master's instructions before his death, and his own persistence and struggle over the years, and he couldn't help feeling confused.

"Did I really do something wrong?" Lu Jin muttered to himself.

Zhang Hao looked at Lu Jin, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes: "Lu Jin, you have been trapped by the inner demons and are unwilling to face your past. In fact, Master's words have already given the answer."

Hearing this, Lu Jin's body trembled again. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the waves in his heart.

"What happened back then... was my fault." Lu Jin finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that Lu Jin, who had always been stubborn, would admit his mistakes.

"Lu Jin, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have such strong murderous intent." Li Muxuan said with a smile, a hint of provocation in his voice.

Lu Jin sneered and said, "Li Muxuan, you are a Quan Xing demon, how can I show mercy to you? Moreover, you had the opportunity to join the Trinity Sect, but you went astray and became a Quan Xing evil child. It is really heartbreaking!"

Li Muxuan shook his head indifferently and said, "Lu Jin, why are you so obsessed with the Trinity Sect? Even if you join it, what will happen? The Tongtian realm? Humph, that's just an illusory legend."

Hearing this, Lu Jin's face darkened and he angrily said, "How dare you question the Tongtian realm of the Sanyi Sect? Back then, Master Zuo wanted to accept you as a disciple, but you were so arrogant and conceited that you didn't know what was good for you! Now you have even become a Quan Xing demon, which is really shameful and lamentable!"

Li Muxuan sneered and said, "Lu Jin, do you think you are superior to others just because you joined the Trinity Sect? The way to practice cultivation lies in one's heart, not in the sect. If you persist in your mistakes, I'm afraid you will never reach the true peak."

The conversation between the two became more and more intense, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. At this moment, Zhang Chulan on the side suddenly said: "Two seniors, why do you have to argue like this? Everyone has their own fate and understanding of the way of cultivation. The realm of Tongtian may be difficult to reach, but cultivating the original heart is something that everyone can do."

Hearing this, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan turned to look at Zhang Chulan. A hint of appreciation flashed in Lu Jin's eyes, and he said, "Boy, you are right. The way to practice is indeed in the heart. Although you have not practiced in the Tianshi Mansion, you have received some of the true teachings of the old Tianshi. It is indeed extraordinary."

Li Muxuan also nodded and said, "Zhang Chulan, your opinion is quite interesting. Perhaps we should really re-examine the meaning of cultivation."

The atmosphere between the three gradually eased, and they began to have an in-depth discussion about the way of cultivation. Although Lu Jin still had some grudges against Li Muxuan, he was no longer as hostile as before. Li Muxuan also began to reflect on his past and had a deeper understanding of the dispute between Sanyi Sect and Quanxing.

This conversation lasted for a long time until night fell, and then the three of them left.

Lu Jin stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Li Muxuan and Zhang Chulan going away, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He understood that the path of cultivation was not simply a struggle between sects or pursuit of realms, but a tempering and growth of the inner self.

Only by cultivating your true heart can you truly reach the pinnacle.

Li Muxuan also silently vowed in his heart to re-examine his own path of cultivation and no longer be bound by the shadow of the past. He wanted to find his own path and pursue the true path of cultivation.

"Tongtian, does it really exist?" Lu Jin muttered to himself, frowning.

Lu Jin's master, Zuo Ruotong, was a master of the third level of reverse life, but he also failed in his quest to attain the state of Tongtian. Whenever Lu Jin thought of his master's regrets before his death, he would feel an inexplicable pain in his heart.

"Master, is it true that the third level of reverse rebirth cannot lead to heaven?" Lu Jin asked silently in his heart.

One day, Li Muxuan found Lu Jin with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Lu Jin, do you know that Wu Gensheng is not the murderer of your master?" Li Muxuan said straight to the point.

When Lu Jin heard this, he was shocked and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"What did you say? Wu Gensheng is not the murderer?" he asked in a trembling voice.

Li Muxuan nodded and continued, "Wu Gensheng only has the means to verify whether the third level of Ni Sheng can reach the sky, and the destruction of the Sanyi Sect is also closely related to you."

After hearing this, Lu Jin was stunned as if struck by lightning. He never thought that the enemy he had been pursuing was not the real murderer. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the demise of Sanyi Sect was actually related to him.

Li Muxuan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Lu Jin's heart fiercely. He began to reflect on his own behavior and began to realize his blindness and mistakes in dealing with the death of his master and the destruction of his sect.

"I...I have been wrong for so many years!" Lu Jin hugged his head in pain, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Lu Jin's heart was full of contradictions. He wanted to obey his master's will and not seek revenge, but he also wanted to avenge his master. This conflict made him miserable and he spent every day in torment.

"Master, what should I do?" Lu Jin shouted in his heart, but got no response.

Lu Jin gradually realized that his inner demons came from not daring to face up to his own guilt. He blamed all his faults on others, but never really reflected on his own behavior.

"If I want to truly solve my inner demons, I must face my own problems." Lu Jin made up his mind and began to look for answers.

"Those evil people in Quanxing actually used this as an excuse to surround and kill them!" Lu Jin gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger.

Li Muxuan sat aside, silent. He had mixed feelings in his heart, as if he was also responsible for the death of Chong and Cheng Zhen. If it weren't for seeing him and Wu Gensheng, they might not have met with the accident.

"The Sanyi Sect doesn't understand Quanxing, and the Quanxing people don't care about the friendship between fellow disciples." Li Muxuan sighed, "They are even grateful to Si Chong and Cheng Zhen for giving them an excuse to take action."

Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye and others were filled with sighs. They originally thought that all Quanxing people were evil, and the Trinity Sect was the embodiment of justice. But now it seems that things are far from that simple.

"Mr. Lu, you have always been hostile to Quan Xing. Is it because of what happened between Si Chong and Cheng Zhen?" Zhang Chulan asked. (End of this chapter)
