Chapter 741: Chapter 0743: Loyalty and Righteousness Are Hard to Fulfill Both

Although Chu Feng did not deeply understand some matters concerning the eight major factions of the outer Jinghu World, he still knew about them. For those in the Jinghu World, these were basic common knowledge.

Of course, for someone at Chu Feng’s level of existence, it was impossible not to know even if he didn’t want to. Moreover, there were detailed records within the Dragon Soul, and Chu Feng had long since committed them to memory.

As the saying goes, one cannot have too many skills, and knowing a bit more had no downsides for Chu Feng. After all, he had to face people from all walks of life every day.

While Chu Feng was speaking with the Sect Leader of the Beggar Sect, a bullet buried itself in the ground at the feet of Old Black Man’s mother.

Having never witnessed such a spectacle before, Old Black Man’s mother was terrified and screamed miserably.

"Boss, you don’t have to worry about me, you must absolutely not compromise with them," Old Black Man’s mother screamed, but her attitude remained resolute.

"Madam, rest assured, if anyone dares to harm a single hair on you, I will take their entire family’s lives, and I mean what I say," Chu Feng’s attitude also turned truly cold.

Chu Feng looked at the Old Beggar and said, "You are considered a master of your generation, is this your code of conduct?"

Old Beggar replied, "I don’t wish for this either, so I hope you can cooperate. People in the Jinghu World value the concept of ’righteousness.’ They have done favors for me and for the Yao Sect. The debt I and the Yao Sect owe them leaves me with no choice. I have no grudge against you, and that’s why I hope for your cooperation."

Chu Feng knew exactly who the Old Beggar was referring to when he mentioned ’them’—it could be no one other than the Qi Family.

Chu Feng sneered and said, "So this is the style of the Yao Sect, forcing others into action without any grudge or quarrel? The Yao Sect has truly lost all its face. The eight major factions of the outer Jinghu World have always been seen as symbols of loyalty and righteousness. And what are you doing now? Is this the loyalty and righteousness of the Yao Sect? Forcing others to do things against their will, is this your idea of righteousness?"

Old Beggar seemed to have anticipated what Chu Feng was going to say and therefore did not argue back. It was as if he wanted Chu Feng to vent fully, to explode with all the discontent in his heart.

After berating for a long while with no reaction, Chu Feng couldn’t be bothered to continue.

When Chu Feng stopped speaking, Old Beggar finally said, "You are right in all you say, but I have my own difficulties, so it’s your choice now. I won’t make things difficult for anyone."

Chu Feng really wanted to rush over and slap him twice. After saying so much, all he got in response was a mere mention of being helpless and then being told to choose for himself—this was shamelessly irresponsible.

Chu Feng was filled with righteous indignation, and yet the other was so calm and nonchalant; it was obviously intentional.

Chu Feng took out his Dragon Card from his bosom and said, "You should recognize this, right? You say the Qi Family has done favors for you. If the information I’ve received is not mistaken, the owner of this card has also done favors for you."

When Old Beggar saw the Dragon Card, his eyes narrowed and he asked, "Where did you get the Dragon Card from?"

Chu Feng replied, "That’s none of your concern. I just want to know, do you recognize it or not?"

The Old Beggar nodded seriously and said, "Of course I recognize it, Senior Divine Dragon has granted me a great favor."

Chu Feng responded, "Since you recognize it and admit it, then you should know what to do without me teaching you, right?"

The Old Beggar was truly hesitant now; the Qi Family had shown him kindness, but so had the Divine Dragon. In fact, if it had not been for the Divine Dragon back then, the Yao Sect might have ceased to exist altogether.

"Why hesitate? It seems that nowadays, people really have lost their old values. So-called loyalty and righteousness are just empty words. People’s hearts have been corrupted by self-interest, and what they owe to others in terms of gratitude has long been forgotten," Chu Feng said mockingly.

After speaking, Chu Feng weighed the Dragon Card in his hand, saying, "If Senior Divine Dragon knew about this outcome, he would probably be very sad. These are the people he once helped."

After a pause, Chu Feng taunted, "What do you think would happen if the Divine Dragon, in a fit of rage, decided to attack your Yao Sect? What kind of events do you think would unfold from the Divine Dragon’s wrath?"

The Old Beggar really thought Chu Feng was a bastard. "I’m just a high-level beggar," he thought to himself, "how am I supposed to make such a difficult choice?"

Although he somewhat doubted that the Divine Dragon was still alive, who could be certain? With a man who had created myths, anything was possible.

After pondering for a long time, the Old Beggar finally lifted his head and said, "I am willing to fight you fairly, without getting anyone else involved. If you win, I will kill myself to atone to the Divine Dragon. If you lose, I also promise not to harm a single person, but simply to complete my own task."

"Have you no shame at all? With a choice like that, there’s no loss for you either way. You make it sound as if you are embodying both loyalty and righteousness. Have you become so shrewd with age?" Chu Feng was really irked by the Old Beggar, having never seen such a shameless person, never come across such unfair terms.

Regardless of what Chu Feng yelled, the Old Beggar remained as calm as ever, saying, "This is the greatest concession I can make, and the only way I can uphold both loyalty and righteousness. If you agree, we will fight. If you don’t, then forget I said anything." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Chu Feng was furious with the Old Beggar, exclaiming angrily, "Fine. I agree. Just wait until after I watch you, an old beggar, kill yourself. Then I will see how I wipe out your entire Yao Sect. I will make sure none survives, not a single one."

The Old Beggar was still unfazed, saying, "I’d be dead by then, what do you think I could possibly see? Or do you think it would anger me? On the other hand, if I haven’t died, that means you lost. Do you think you’d still have a chance against the Yao Sect?"

By now, Chu Feng was sure of it, this Old Beggar had grown nothing but cunning in his lifetime.

Chu Feng forced himself to calm down, remembering what his master had told him. Any decision made in a fit of rage is wrong and meaningless.

Only by staying calm can the right decision be made, only then can one avoid regret.

"Huff!"

Chu Feng took a deep breath and said, "Fine, I agree to your despicable and shameless terms. But right now, let the person go."

The Old Beggar nodded, saying, "That’s possible. It wasn’t my intention to use a person as a threat."

Chu Feng really wanted to curse. If that wasn’t his intention, then what was he actually doing?

Could people really be so shameless?

But with Chu Feng at the mercy of the knife, and the other party holding all the advantages, what could Chu Feng say, what could he do? Other than go along with it, there was nothing else Chu Feng could do.

Chu Feng took another deep breath, attempting to calm himself down again.

"Release the person first, once they’re free, we can have ourselves a proper fight," Chu Feng said.

The Old Beggar released the captive, bringing Old Black Man’s mother over to Chu Feng’s side.
