The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

15 – Interstellar Hell (4)

The terrible War of the Heavenly Demons ended after only five years.

All of the masters of the Martial Clan, who had been pushed back, gathered together in one place, and even the traitorous members of the Demon Sect joined them in attacking the Heavenly Horse. Tianma was killed, and with the loss of Tianma, the Magical Sect soon fell into infighting.

They were defeated, displaying a level of unity that went beyond bad to downright ugly. And now, the Murim are on the move again.

The first course of action was to hunt down and purge the traitors, especially Gu Feifang, and even the Five Great Emperors, who had fallen to Tianma.

Indeed, the initial crushing defeat was understandable, but only with the help of the masters in hiding.

Had it not been for that, Tianma would have truly fallen to them. The buildings of the Martial Clan have been completely destroyed, and there is literally nothing left but ruins.

The barriers to the outside world had long since been torn down, and the Martial League’s sign had been burned along with the building, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.

Nevertheless, the new overlord of the Martial League chose to make it his home. This was to ensure that the terrible defeat would never be forgotten.

“We cannot repeat the past in a fit of arrogance. Investigate thoroughly!”

Fortunately, the new warlord had the ability to turn things around, and the wisdom that comes with experience. He began his investigation.

Not all factions were attached to the Heavenly Horse, including the Five Great Sects and Gu Feifang. If that were the case, then the Warring States would indeed be doomed.

As a result, it was reported that the Hebei Fang Family, the Sichuan Tang Family, and the Southern Gong Family had resisted to the end. Upon hearing the report, Meng Zhu lamented and said.

“I should have known when the greatest masters were being defecated on one after another…….”

The Hebei Fang Family and the Southern Gong Family suffered great losses from the sudden surprise, and the Sichuan Tang Family was even able to kill Zhao Jiajue and take his place.

How dare they kill their own parents and usurp their place? Naturally, the Martial King would not stand idly by. He personally punished the Sichuan Tang family.

The punishment, which was carried out without any investigation, quickly tore the Sichuan Tang Family apart. However, the results of the investigation were quite the opposite.

At that time, evidence had been discovered that Jia Zhu was in league with the Heavenly Horse; the Sichuan Tang family’s cattle had learned of Jia Zhu’s affair, and had rebelled to stop it,

but now they had torn the Sichuan Tang family to pieces. Meng Zhu sighed.

“You have to admit, though.”

Everyone was out of their minds. The name of the Martial Emperor had become little more than a symbol, tainted with arrogance and greed.

The days of pure celebration of the achievements of others were long gone, and all they could think about was how to bring down their opponents.

Of course, not everyone was like that. There were those who tried to point out what was wrong with the Murim and change it, but they were all dead.

Assassinated behind their backs by the Heavenly Horse, of course. There were even a few that were killed out of jealousy by other sects.

I was outside, writing on a single fluttering cloth. Suddenly, someone rushed in, a very large young man.

“Meng Zhu, this is ridiculous!”

“Suddenly, what’s all the fuss about?”

“You’re letting the Heavenly Demon live?”

“Yes, I’ve decided to let him live.”

The young man’s eyes began to glow with volcanic anger. Seeing this, Meng Zhu sighed.

The Heavenly Demon, a monster of the Martial Realm that had once been considered one of the best in the world, had suddenly joined forces with the Heavenly Horse to slaughter countless Martials.

If one were to simply count the number of Martials it had slaughtered, it was far more than the Heavenly Horse. To spare such a demon, of course, made no sense.

However, Meng Zhu’s thoughts were slightly different, and he stood up without a word, looking at the young man who was still holding back his anger.

“Hundred and one questions, hundred and one questions! Follow me, and I’ll tell you why.”

“If you can’t convince me…….”

“Then I’ll offer you my seat or my neck.”

“If you’re so sure…… I understand.”

The young man nodded and fell in behind Meng Zhu. It was Meng Zhu who had sought to reunite the shattered forces of the Martial Kingdom and strike back.

Of course there was a reason for that. His head knew it, of course, but his heart hadn’t accepted it. Meng Zhu strode forward.

There was nothing left of the place where the Martial Spirit had once stood but rubble and rubble and rubble.

“There are three reasons for that decision.”

“You mean the reason to keep the demon alive?”

“You may not believe it, but…… it is.”

“Tell me the reasons.”

“Okay, the first reason is the demon’s merit.”

“You mean meritorious? What merit does that demon have?”

“You may not believe it, but it is meritorious.”

As the vanguard of the Heavenly Demons, the Heavenly Demon is guilty of killing countless Martials, but he also has the distinction of betraying and killing the Heavenly Demons.

It was a very angry situation, but…… must be admitted. If it weren’t for that demon’s betrayal, the Martial Kingdom would have been defeated.

The demon had been in league with Mu Lin and had led the titan into a trap, eventually succeeding in piercing the titan’s heart with his own hand and taking its life.

If nothing else, the feat had to be recognized, and there was also a practical reason for the feat.

“I will ask you directly. Do you think we are capable of dealing with a thousand demons now?”

“…….”

“I believe your silence is the first reason.”

“Then what are the other reasons?”

“You’ll have to see for yourself.”

Boom! Boom! A tremendous noise rang out. With a ferocity that was almost exhausting to watch, the young man immediately drew up his strength.

However, Meng Zhu’s expression was far too nonchalant. Soon, they arrived at a deserted mountain.

At the center of it all was a man who wore a red aura like armor. The young man recognized it at a glance.

But there was something off about the demon’s condition. It had ripped off his arm with its own hand. With his remaining hand, he pierced his chest and ripped out his heart.

Even if it was a demon, it was in such excruciating pain that one couldn’t help but question its existence. Meng Zhu said nonchalantly.

“He’s been like that since the fight ended.”

“Hasn’t it already been a year?”

“That’s right. Even though he’s been hurting himself like that every day,…… he doesn’t die.”

“What?”

“The Heavenly Demon Sucking Blood Gong, it’s the one that keeps that demon alive.”

Heavenly Sucking QigongThe Heavenly Sucking Qigong literally absorbs the internal power of an opponent.

According to the texts I stole from the school, there is no other way to master the art than to spill the blood of tens of millions of people.

Instead, mastering the art gives you an immortal body that will never die. I thought it was a myth. Until I saw this.

“We can’t kill it in the first place, which is the second reason.”

“Ha, but that doesn’t mean we can’t leave it alone, does it?”

“Then what are you going to do, shackle it or imprison it?”

“…….”

“It won’t do any good. Nothing can restrain that demon.”

“Now, wait!”

Meng Zhu walked forward nonchalantly. The demon was killing his body over and over again with its ferocious momentum. But Meng Zhu was too calm.

He reached the demon’s face, and only then did it stop tearing itself apart and look up at him. Blood continued to flow from its dried-up eyes.

The sight of him in tears of blood was more than enough to make him a demon. Nevertheless, the demon grabbed Meng Zhu by the crotch and spoke.

“My chest hurts, my intestines feel like they’ve been ripped out, but I can’t feel anything.”

“The pain of the mind overwhelms the pain of the body.”

“I can’t feel anything, I can’t feel anything, I can’t feel anything, I can’t feel anything, I can’t feel anything.”

The physical pain began to dull as it was repeated over and over again, but the mental pain remained like a loner, gnawing at the demon’s insides.

Bloody tears fell from the demon’s eyes. The young man was horrified to see the demon clutching at Meng Zhu’s crotch, pleading with him.

“Kill me. Kill me! I’m your enemy! Kill me quickly!”

“…….”

“You can do that! You can kill me and get even!”

Meng Zhu looked down at the demon without saying a word. He kicked the demon in the jaw with his foot. The demon’s jaw turned slightly. But its body didn’t move.

Whether it did or not, Meng didn’t care. Rather, he chuckled at the sight, a sight that would have crushed the faint of heart…….

He could not hold back his laughter. How could he, it was so delightful. He bent over, unable to contain his laughter. And faced the demon.

Thank God. I’m so glad you can feel pain. I’m glad you can feel regret to the point of tearing your guts out. Meng Zhu laughed.

“Certainly, given time, I might be able to break your spell.”

“…….”

“But…… why should I?”

They say sinners go to hell to pay for their sins. But who can be sure of that? What if hell doesn’t exist?

Meng couldn’t get the thought out of his mind.

What if hell doesn’t exist, and you just reincarnate into nothing or become someone else? You think you can just get away with it without paying any consequences?” Meng Zhu laughed. He laughed until he was about to spit his guts out of his mouth.

What, you have a record of killing a thousand horses? You can’t actually kill them? Meng Zhu already knows.

“You don’t even have to send it to hell.”

That’s the third reason why Meng Zhu, and the rest of the martial arts world, hasn’t killed it.

“Because…… for you, this place is hell.”

Demon, did you really think you could kill so many people and just take it easy?”
