One sentence, something that an average person could hardly remember; a sentence from eleven years ago, even fewer would recall it. However, Cai Yuanheng has always remembered a phrase spoken by a boy eleven years ago!
…………
On an afternoon eleven years ago, two slaves, one old and one young, were sold into Zhang Manor. At that time, Cai Yuanheng was merely a steward at Zhang Manor.
"Beat him for me, beat this old fool to death... Haha... Yes, hit him hard..." The triumphant shouts came from Cai Yuanheng's mouth. Not far away, two strong men were following his orders and mercilessly beating an elderly servant, while beside them, a boy was crying out in despair.
"Stop hitting him... Stop hitting him... Tian Bo will be beaten to death by you..." Tears as big as beans flowed continuously down his face, soaking it with wet marks. His tender eyes were red from crying, but no matter how much he shouted and pulled, he could not stop the two burly men.
"Haha... Aren't you the one who was throwing a tantrum like a young master? Why aren't you pretending now? And you, old man, a lowly slave, how dare you talk back to me? Why aren't you speaking now..." Cai Yuanheng showed no pity and had no intention of stopping.
The frail and elderly Tian Bo ultimately could not withstand the fierce beating from the two strong men and quietly died at their hands. To everyone's surprise, the boy who had just been crying bitterly did not shed another tear; he simply stared at Cai Yuanheng. The calmness in his eyes gave Cai Yuanheng a chilling feeling.
For the first time, Cai Yuanheng felt a twinge of fear towards a boy!
"Do not underestimate the poor youth!" Just five simple words. After saying this, the boy embraced Tian Bo's body and his thin figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Yet those calm words deeply lingered in Cai Yuanheng's heart.
…………
"You are Sun Zhe's son..." Staring intently at Sun Zhe, after a long pause, Cai Yuanheng finally slowly spoke the final answer. As he did so, a complex expression flickered in his eyes. Although he was reluctant to believe it, he ultimately confirmed that this young man before him was indeed that boy from back then.
Sun Zhe!
As soon as Cai Yuanheng spoke these words, everyone in Zhang Manor looked at Cai Yuanheng and Sun Zhe in disbelief. All of them wore expressions of incredulity. Sun Zhe had been a slave in Zhang Manor for eleven whole years, bullied by them for eleven years; how could they not know... But the young man before them was now a high-ranking Cultivator. The difference in their statuses was like heaven and earth; how could they possibly be the same person!
"This... how is this possible..." The Yuan Clan covered their lips with both hands, their eyes wide in shock as they exclaimed.
"There is nothing impossible in this world!"
The response did not come from Cai Yuanheng, but from Sun Zhe, who was riding a horse. As he spoke, Sun Zhe leaped from his horse, lightly patting its side with his right hand before landing silently on the stone pavement. Following closely behind, two disciples of the Xuan Lei Sect also jumped down from their horses and stood behind Sun Zhe.
"Cai Yuanheng, I didn't expect you to recognize me. Did you think that after the beating I took six months ago, I was dead..."
However, Cai Yuanheng did not respond, his eyes flashing with a hint of light as he seemed lost in thought.
"No, it can't be. I clearly saw you were dead; this is impossible. This is a trick; you are a ghost, a ghost..." One of the servants screamed in terror, and Sun Zhe focused his gaze, only to find a middle-aged servant looking at him with fear etched on his face.
This man was none other than Zhang Laizi, who had personally thrown Sun Zhe's body into the Graveyard along with Brother Three. He had clearly seen that Sun Zhe had no breath left, dead beyond any doubt. Now that Sun Zhe suddenly appeared before him, his fear was greater than that of Cai Yuanheng. He shouted loudly in panic and ran away.
"Hmph! Do you think I'll let you go..." With a cold snort, one of the disciples from the Xuan Lei Sect had a glint of cold light in his eyes. Before Sun Zhe could speak, he swiftly moved forward to prevent Zhang Laizi from escaping. In an instant, he appeared right in front of Zhang Laizi, who hadn’t even reacted before a right hand glowing with a faint purple light struck his chest.
"Ah..." A mournful scream escaped Zhang Laizi, whose body flew back like a kite with its string cut.
With a dull thud, Zhang Laizi's robust body fell to the ground, and a mouthful of bright red blood sprayed from his mouth. He hunched over on the ground, groaning in pain, unable to stand again.
Just one palm! The power of a Cultivator was perfectly demonstrated; in front of a Cultivator, an ordinary person had no chance to resist at all. At that moment, the people of the Zhang Manor finally understood their situation of being at the mercy of others. The current Sun Zhe was no longer the slave who could be bullied by anyone.
After casting a faint glance at Zhang Laizi, Sun Zhe paid him no further mind; his true enemy was Cai Yuanheng. Compared to him, everyone else was unimportant.
"Cai Yuanheng, when you brutally beat me to death as Tian Bo, did you ever think about this day? You tortured me for eleven long years; did you ever think about this day? Six months ago when you tried to kill me, did you ever think about this day?"
After enduring eleven years of torment and humiliation, the grudge against Tian Bo consumed him. Day and night, he yearned for revenge, but he knew he lacked the strength. All he could do was silently endure. Now, he finally had the chance to reclaim everything for himself and for Tian Bo.
On one side, Sun Zhe slowly approached Cai Yuanheng, his gaze growing colder with each step. As he moved forward, the sound of his footsteps echoed in Cai Yuanheng's mind like thunder.
"Is there really no room for redemption? You know that a large part of the Zhang Family is now under my control. If you make a request, I will certainly fulfill it," Cai Yuanheng asked, his face slightly pale. At this moment, he was unwilling to face not just Sun Zhe but also the vast Xuan Lei Sect.
"Can you return Tian Bo to me?" Sun Zhe asked, staring at Cai Yuanheng from a distance, a chilling smile spreading across his lips.
"I..." Cai Yuanheng was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Brother, please stop!"
At that moment, a young man who had been following Cai Yuanheng stepped in front of Sun Zhe.
Sun Zhe's gaze sharpened, and his steps halted instantly. Two piercing glints shot from his eyes as he coldly asked, "Do you dare to block me?"
