Chapter 293: All of You, Come at Me
“We are also humans!” said a man in a blue Daoist robe.
“We can’t feel it!”
“You’re not. You’re bugs, bloodsuckers, parasites clinging to ordinary people!” Shi Feizhe looked at them and sneered.
The dozen or so Daoist priests in front of him were naturally not all the Daoists invited by the Ascension Path. Shi Feizhe saw many more Daoists watching from afar, just observing without participating.
The serious Daoists were all researching flight and observing from a distance, not engaging in gossip.
Who the hell would be like Sun Daoren’s lackeys, coming to block Shi Feizhe?
“You… how can you curse people?!” The blue-robed Daoist’s face flushed red as he spoke.
“I’m just speaking the truth.” Shi Feizhe glanced at him and said, “If you’re not convinced, I allow all of you to come at me.”
“If reasoning could persuade others, then what’s the point of fists?”
“If reasoning could change people’s minds, then what’s the point of labor reform?”
If reasoning could make people repent and change their ways, Shi Feizhe wouldn’t have been chased like a dog when he first entered the Jianghu.
“Sun Daoren… this barbarian is so arrogant! He wants to fight all of us!” The blue-robed Daoist couldn’t stand the humiliation, but he didn’t have the guts to continue arguing with Shi Feizhe. He could only complain to Sun Daoren.
Sun Daoren glanced at him. Don’t you have any self-awareness as to why he said all of you come at me?
In his eyes, you dozen or so are just burdens!
He might exchange a single blow with Shi Feizhe, and all of you burdens would be wiped out!
South of Qing Province was Xu Province. After taking Qing Province, sooner or later he would have a battle with Shi Feizhe. Just now, the two of them had each expounded their own ideals.
In general, although their goals were similar, their approaches were very different.
Shi Feizhe wanted ordinary people to become the masters of the Nine Provinces and participate in their governance.
But the reason why the Jianghu was so chaotic was because there was no strong and wise ruler.
He couldn’t accept the absence of an emperor, a wise ruler.
What Shi Feizhe said sounded good, ordinary people being in charge, but the more people there were, the harder it would be to reach a consensus! A bunch of people chattering all day, discussing this and that, wasn’t a good thing.
That’s why there was 《”Taiping Jing”》’s saying: “The words of a multitude of ants crawling on a pillar are not as good as the words of one wise and virtuous person in the country!”
This meant that no matter how many opinions ordinary people had, they might not necessarily be right.
In other words, the opinions of ordinary people weren’t necessarily correct.
As for the emperor being a part of the oppression of ordinary people, he didn’t quite agree with that either.
A Jianghu without an emperor wasn’t a good Jianghu. There was no conflict between ordinary people and the emperor. The emperor’s enemies were actually local tyrants, powerful families, and city lords.
An emperor was necessary. If the emperor wasn’t wise enough, wouldn’t there still be their Yellow Heaven Path’s Great Virtuous Teacher to advise him?
All these ideas and thoughts flashed through his mind.
His Dao was different from Shi Feizhe’s, so this was an opportunity to test him.
“All of you, step back. I’ll ask Old Demon Shi for some guidance!” said Sun Daoren.
He thought Shi Feizhe was a demon because Shi Feizhe’s reforms were taking away the livelihood of everyone in the Jianghu.
If Shi Feizhe wasn’t a demon, who was?
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so Daoists around him all ran away.
The Yellow Heaven Path had swept across three provinces, and they knew Sun Daoren’s strength very well.
A fight between top experts wasn’t something they could watch. They might lose their lives if they weren’t careful.

“You first!” Shi Feizhe said, looking at Sun Daoren, who had the appearance of an old farmer.
Persuasion couldn’t change the minds of people in the Jianghu. Only profound education could do that.
Sun Daoren didn’t hold back. He didn’t bring any weapons this time. He came to observe the ceremony empty-handed, so he raised his palm.
A Yellow Heaven rose behind him, instantly covering the blue sky, turning the world in Shi Feizhe’s eyes into a field of orange-yellow.
That yellow wasn’t gamboge, nor was it sallow or bright yellow. It was a yellow similar to loess, but not quite.
The 《”Taiping Jing”》 had been passed down to him, and he didn’t know how many people it had been passed on to, but no one had ever successfully cultivated the 《Yellow Heaven World Establishment Method》.
Only he had succeeded, only he, a desperate old farmer in his forties, had succeeded.
According to common knowledge in the Jianghu, after the age of thirty-five, a martial artist’s Qi and blood would decline, and it would be impossible to cultivate True Qi. But Sun Daoren had broken this common knowledge and started practicing martial arts in his forties.
Before he practiced martial arts, he was just a poor and destitute tenant farmer in a village.
He hadn’t even started a family in his forties and only had half a dilapidated house. By chance, he met a wandering and destitute beggar. He gave the beggar half a bowl of leftover rice, and the beggar chanted a scripture at his door.
Strangely enough, he remembered the scripture and even comprehended it in his dreams. He could even cultivate it in his daily life.
Because that was what he desired.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone was well-off and there was fairness and impartiality?
Later, he thought, since there was no such peaceful and prosperous world, why not create one?
He continuously broke through the 《Yellow Heaven World Establishment Method》, and his True Martial Divine Image was Yellow Heaven, the Yellow Heaven he understood.
The earth was yellow, and the sky should correspond to that yellow.
Heaven and earth should be the same color! How could the sky be blue and the earth yellow?
Therefore, the blue sky was unjust, and the Yellow Heaven should prevail!
Under the Yellow Heaven, all rules would be changed by Sun Daoren, this wise and virtuous teacher. This was the power of the Yellow Heaven Path that had swept across three provinces!
Shi Feizhe saw a two to three-meter-long yellow palm stretching out from the Yellow Heaven and slapping down towards him.
This was the “Yellow Heaven One Qi Great Handprint”!
Facing this palm, Shi Feizhe stood motionless. A white light appeared around him.
Under the white light, the Yellow Heaven melted like snow, along with the Yellow Heaven One Qi Great Handprint that had reached him.
It had to be said that the Psionic Suppression Field was indeed useful.
Sun Daoren frowned as he watched the white light dispel the Yellow Heaven. He was about to strike again when he heard someone shout from afar, “Give this old Daoist some face.”
It was Sima Qiudao.
He had heard someone fighting and hurriedly rushed out.
Sima Qiudao came between the two and said, “You are both honored guests invited by this old Daoist, here to observe the ceremony tomorrow. Could you give this old Daoist some face and not fight on the mountain?”
Sun Daoren and he were both from the Daoist sect, so he had to give him this face.
Shi Feizhe was waiting to recruit the people from the Ascension Path, so he also had to give him this face.
Therefore, the two of them stopped at the same time. They glanced at each other, both knowing that this was just the beginning.
Shi Feizhe also discovered that this unassuming Sun Daoren was actually a Barrier-Breaking Martial Artist!
He didn’t expect that there were still Barrier-Breaking Martial Artists in the Jianghu besides the long-missing Hua Chonglang and Ren Daokuang!
The final enemy of the Jianghu was the enemy with different ideals!
