After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 2 Be a good person

Besides wanting to get away from those two women, Shen Xu's other thought was that he needed to run away as soon as possible!

Because ten years from now, the Blood Fiend Palace of Guangchuan Domain will launch a major attack on Xingchuan Domain, where he is located, and will carry out a strategy of destroying sects, annihilating families, massacring cities and draining blood from all forces in Xingchuan Domain.

Wherever the blood tide created by the Blood Fiend Palace passed, corpses littered the land, and not a blade of grass grew.

If he didn't want to rejoin the Blood Fiend Palace, fleeing the Xingchuan Domain was his only option to save his life. The Blood Fiend Palace's goal was to conquer the entire Xingchuan Domain, and his current sect, the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, and its territory would certainly not be spared.

But before he left, he had to take Uncle Wang with him. Uncle Wang was an old servant left to him by his long-deceased parents. He had been taking care of him ever since he came to this True Origin Continent from Blue Star. They were more than family.

"With a cultivation level of four in the Qi Nourishing stage, I should have joined the Green Bamboo Sword Sect less than two months ago. However, the outer sect competition should not be far away." Sensing his own cultivation level, Shen Xu calculated the approximate time.

He remembered losing to Shen Guangjian in the outer sect competition in his previous life, not even making it past the first round. The main reason was that he entered the sect at the wrong time. His opponents were all veterans who had entered the sect a year or even two years earlier than him, so he was naturally no match for them.

He and Shen Guangjian both belonged to the Shen family, one of the four major families in Yunlong City. The only difference was that he was from a collateral branch, while Shen Guangjian was from the direct line of the Shen family. He remembered that Shen Guangjian seemed to covet the sword in his hand.

However, Shen Guangjian refrained from harming him out of consideration for their shared clan, instead subtly threatening him to hand over the sword. Shen Xu felt that if he had stayed at the Green Bamboo Sword Sect longer in his previous life, Shen Guangjian would have been unable to resist taking action against him.

But this time, it seems he can use that sword to redeem Uncle Wang from the Shen family first.

Back inside, he securely fastened the sword hanging by the bedside to his waist, and then headed straight for where Shen Guangjian was staying.

Shen Guangjian is at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, making him one of the most powerful cultivators among the outer sect members. Naturally, he lives in a higher position, and his wooden house is larger and more luxurious.

"Shen Xu, what are you doing here?" Shen Xian asked coldly.

"Are you Shen Xian?" It had been a long time, and he could no longer remember the appearances of some people he hadn't interacted with much.

He remembered that Shen Xian was a member of the Shen family who entered the Qingzhu Sword Sect in the same batch as him, and was considered a direct descendant of the Shen family. Therefore, he received Shen Guangjian's care as soon as he entered the Qingzhu Sword Sect.

However, it seems that Shen Xian's cultivation talent is not as high as his, so they have never gotten along well and he often causes trouble for him.

"I need to discuss something with Shen Guangjian."

"Shen Xu, how dare you address the young clan leader by his name? Do you have no concept of hierarchy?" Shen Xian shouted condescendingly.

Shen Xu picked at his ear impatiently, "The dog barked before the master even spoke."

"Who are you calling a dog!" Shen Xian's eyes seemed to spit fire.

"Fine, it's not you! I need to talk to Shen Guangjian about something. A good dog doesn't block the way." He had no interest in arguing with Shen Xian here.

"Shen Xu, you're asking for it!" Shen Xian pretended to grab Shen Xu's collar.

Shen Xu easily dodged Shen Xian's grab with a quick movement, while Shen Xian fell to the ground due to the momentum of his body.

Looking at Shen Xian lying on the ground, Shen Xu felt that the combat experience he had honed over the past ten years in the midst of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was a bit of a waste to deal with a mere kid.

Shen Xian angrily got up, his anger almost bursting out of him. Just as he was about to draw his sword, Shen Guangjian's door suddenly opened.

A handsome young man in white stepped out and said coldly, "Both of you, come in!"

"Your place is much better than mine," Shen Xu said, praising the furnishings in Shen Guangjian's room.

Seeing Shen Xu find a seat after entering, Shen Guangjian couldn't help but frown.

"Shen Xu, Shen Xian is at least your clansman. Your words are too much!" Shen Guangjian rebuked coldly.

"Shen Guangjian, you don't need to pretend. I'm not here to waste my breath on you!"

"I know you want my sword. You defeated me in the outer sect competition, so my sword is yours. But if I defeat you, you must restore the freedom of Uncle Wang, who has always taken care of me. What do you think of this offer?"

Shen Xu slammed the sword heavily on the table in front of him.

"Haha, Shen Xu, you really overestimate yourself. You even want to challenge Brother Lightsaber? Are you out of your mind?" Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Shen Xian immediately burst into laughter.

Shen Guangjian stared intently at the longsword on the table. "Shen Xu, I can agree to your conditions, but I don't want your sword. I want you to learn to respect your elders in the clan, and after you lose, you must apologize to me in public for your behavior today."

"You're hypocritical, but I can agree to your conditions." Shen Xu gave Shen Guangjian a mocking look, then picked up his sword and left his room.

As Shen Guangjian watched Shen Xu's retreating figure, his eyes immediately darkened. From the Shen family to the Qingzhu Sword Sect, no one had ever dared to speak to him in such an attitude.

"Brother Guangjian, Shen Xu, that orphaned scion of the collateral branch, is too arrogant. Should I find someone to teach him a lesson?" Shen Xian's tone was full of resentment.

Shen Guangjian stood up and said coldly, "There's no need. The higher he jumps, the better, because when the outer sect competition comes, I will let him experience what it's like to fall from the sky into hell!"

His cultivation talent at the human level was indeed high, but that wasn't a reason for him to be arrogant. He needed a deeply painful defeat to make him realize where he truly stood.

On the way back, Shen Xu suddenly realized that Shen Guangjian from his previous life seemed to be doing quite well.

He knew that Shen Guangjian had won second place in the outer sect competition. Later, as Shen Guangjian's strength continued to rise, he even married the granddaughter of a hall master of the Qingzhu Sword Sect and became one of the core figures of the Qingzhu Sword Sect.

When the blood tide swept through the Green Bamboo Mountains, Shen Guangjian gained the appreciation of an elder of the Blood Fiend Palace and joined the Blood Fiend Palace early on. With the help of the Blood Fiend Palace, the Green Bamboo Sword Sect was quickly wiped out by the blood tide. Based on this achievement, Shen Guangjian transformed into the person in charge of the Blood Fiend Palace in the Green Bamboo Mountains and became the true leader of the Green Bamboo Mountains.

The reason he knew so much was because he had also participated in the battle that destroyed the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. He had hoped to save a few acquaintances, but Shen Guangjian's betrayal led to the Green Bamboo Sword Sect's destruction at a speed that exceeded his expectations.

He could only watch as familiar faces turned into pools of blood in the tide of blood, or were transformed into blood puppets by the Blood Fiend Palace's puppeteers, who only knew how to kill.

To be honest, he didn't think Shen Guangjian had gone too far. After all, everyone looks out for themselves!

Moreover, he was also a member of the Blood Fiend Palace, so he didn't seem to have the right to criticize Shen Guangjian.

But given a second chance at life, everything starts anew. In his previous life, he had no choice, but in this life, he wants to be a good person!
