Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1236: Chapter 602: Causality_2

He is the Realm Master of the Da Xuan World, having risen in the Da Xuan World, naturally encompassing all the causality of Da Xuan.

Even creatures unrelated to him, without any bloodline ties, are essentially his descendants, because all things grow between heaven and earth, and he is the world itself. As the saying goes, Heaven creates all beings to nourish people, hence all living beings in the world have an inseparable causality with him, unless they transcend the world, achieve the God Realm, otherwise, they cannot escape his influence.

Observing his own causality is meaningless; he should observe the multitude of living beings in the world.

"I inherently have an unbreakable causality with the multitude of living beings, thus allowing me to know future destinies. If I start from a point to a line, and interfere slightly, what kind of impact will this have on causality and destiny?"

Chen Mu gazed down upon the living beings.

...

Somewhere in the mountains and forests.

An old man, appearing to be a servant, was leading a young boy of about fifteen or sixteen, fleeing.

Behind them were dozens of black-clothed men, all holding sharp blades, their eyes cold and indifferent, pursuing relentlessly. Someone amongst them drew a bow, strung an arrow, and with a twang that split the air, released a Thunder Arrow glowing with tendrils of lightning towards the boy.

"Hmph!"

The old servant snorted coldly, lifting the boy with one hand while his other hand swung down fiercely, gripping the arrow in his palm.

The arrow burst with a blast of lightning but ultimately dissipated in the old servant’s palm.

However.

When the old servant discarded the arrow, there were slight scorch marks left in his palm, clearly not unscathed.

"Uncle Wu!"

The boy held by the old servant noticed this and couldn’t help but voice his concern.

The old servant, known as Uncle Wu, didn’t pause in the slightest, continuing to stride forward through the forest with the boy in tow, saying, "Young Master, rest assured, though the Thunder Arrow contains some thunder power, the shooter’s strength is weak and can’t fully harness its power, posing no great threat to this old servant. Just ahead is the Ganlu River; having long practiced the Kan Water Sect, once in the water, this old servant can surely help Young Master escape the pursuers."

The boy he held was named Yu An, bearing the surname Yu, indeed part of the Yu Family, though merely a remote branch.

In the current world, the Yu Family stood truly at the pinnacle of the Da Xuan World; even for remote branch disciples, few dared to recklessly pursue them.

Thus, those pursuing this young master of the Yu Family and the old servant also came from within the Yu Family, from another branch.

Wherever there are people, there are conflicts; the Yu Family has developed over tens of thousands of years to become the world’s largest. Naturally, internal strife is also ongoing and chaotic, with even blood brothers becoming enemies over resources and status.

This particular branch of Yu An’s line was such; his father, Yu Xinyuan, was once a genius rising from the remote branch, dominating for a while, even beginning to compete with the main family for the legitimate position, but ultimately failed.

Factional battles are very cruel, especially in small places where the position of family head is almost equivalent to being a local emperor. If a branch tries to assume the main position and succeeds, that’s fine, but if they fail, the consequences are naturally very dire.

Yu An’s branch nearly met total annihilation!

Including Yu An himself, who was also pursued by the main branch. Thankfully, a loyal old servant protected him along the way, hiding both identities, yet they were discovered not long ago, resulting in another pursuit.

The old servant Wu Nan protected Yu An, occasionally blocking arrows from behind, fleeing for dozens of miles until a mighty river finally appeared ahead.

Ganlu River!

Called Ganlu, it was actually an extremely murky and yellow river, the water raging fiercely. A Martial Artist with Tendon Changing and Bone Tempering wouldn’t dare enter easily; only those who practiced the Kan Water Sect and reached the Five Viscera Realm could enter comfortably.

Just as the old servant approached the riverbank with the young master, before he could let out a sigh of relief, his expression suddenly changed.

Because by the river,

an unknown middle-aged man in a green robe had appeared at some point.

This middle-aged man, Wu Nan recognized, was named Yu Chen, from the main branch, a formidable figure of the Six Viscera Realm!

In this remote area, the Six Viscera Realm was actually the top-tier strength; the strongest master of the Yu Family’s main branch here was merely a Grandmaster, far inferior to the main family in Central Prefecture.

In fact, the main branch here of the Yu Family was just a branch of the Central Prefecture’s and they were just a branch of a branch.

"The farce ends here."

Yu Chen eyed the fleeing Wu Nan and Yu An, speaking calmly, "After this many days of fleeing, you must have suffered. You needn’t struggle further. Yu An is, after all, my niece or nephew; I won’t take his life. As long as I cripple his roots, the family can offer him a shop for a peaceful life."

"My young master, like the master, has a highly ambitious spirit. Such an outcome is no different from death, is it?"

Wu Nan spoke with a calm tone.

He understood Yu An’s nature, knowing this was an ending Yu An wouldn’t accept, choosing rather to die.

Yu Chen said coldly, "Can you escape?"

Wu Nan replied, "This old servant can only try."

As the words fell, the distance between the two sides grew smaller and smaller, until only a dozen or so yards remained. Wu Nan suddenly exerted, throwing Yu An high up, past Yu Chen, towards the opposite bank of the Ganlu River.

Simultaneously, his frail and stooped body suddenly unfolded, his clothes bursting apart, revealing a withered and decayed figure, but at this moment, blazing blood qi emerged from the withered body.

"You are indeed loyal."
