Chapter 1346 - 1346: Just A Thief?

"Just think of it as someone framing me when I was at my weakest." Gu Chen sighed. "All the evidence was against me."

"How did this even happen? Even in Heavenly Realms, schemes like this are made?"Long Chen frowned. "I can understand though. I went through the same."

"An enemy had a woman tear her own clothes and act as if I forced her. It became a big mess. But fortunately, I was able to force people to tell the truth," he continued, remembering his own incident.

"Ah, so you went through it too. It was the same here. I was cultivating in my room, but when I opened my eyes in the morning, I heard people knocking on my door."

"And a naked woman was sitting in the group, crying. You can guess the next part. She blamed me for kidnapping her from her room and forcing her at night. I said I was innocent, but since I was a guy and the lady was claiming it while making it sound so realistic, no one believed me."

"Moreover, that person was a Disciple of the Buddha Sect, which made it seem even worse. I was captured and sent to the Heavenly Prison. Sigh, it had been such a long time."

"I'm sure that woman would probably be much older now. I really want to ask her someday why she did that? Unfortunately, I have a life sentence. I doubt I would ever get an opportunity to leave this godforsaken place," he added, sighing.

"I think you shouldn't lose hope. Who knows, you might get to leave someday. And then you can ask her personally and then kill her if you want," Long Chen pointed out.

"I don't want to kill her. I just want an answer. It doesn't matter what she answers us. I won't kill her," Gu Chen replied.

"Huh? Are you a simp or something? That person took your entire life from you, and you still don't want to kill her?" Long Chen asked.

"In the Buddha Sect, it's not allowed to kill women. That's what he's been taught from childhood. No matter what they do, he won't kill them," Zia Uzhi explained to Long Chen.

"What if they want to kill? What if they're after your life, trying to kill you? You can't even kill them to protect yourself?" Long Chen asked, surprised. Just what kind of logic is it? No matter what other people did, they couldn't do anything?"

"You can't kill even then. Their teaching is that if you are capable of killing them, then you're also capable of restraining them. So restrain them and get them punished accordingly, but you can't kill them," Zia Uzhi answered.

"You certainly know a lot about the Buddha Sect. Not bad." Gu Chen nodded. Whatever he said was correct.

"I still believe that it's a stupid rule," Long Chen muttered. He looked at Zia Uzhi. "Is it just me, or do you think the same too?"

"You're not alone. I share the same belief. You should be allowed to kill the person who wants to kill you. Anything else is stupid," Zia Uzhi agreed. "But then again, I can't comment on the beliefs of others. They have their own beliefs. I have my own beliefs."

"Do you want to learn the skill, or are you going to talk about my beliefs only?" Gu Chen rolled his eyes.

"I want to learn." Long Chen took a step forward.

"Good. Then I'll teach you the Buddha Gaze and the Buddha Freeze. But we must finish our fight. So surrender now."

"I was looking to fight you more. But I'll surrender."

"Good choice. Now, step aside. I'll teach you after I finish one battle."

Gu Chen looked at Zia Uzhi. "I challenge you to a battle."

"Sigh. I knew you'd do something like this," Zia Uzhi muttered, sighing.

He looked at Long Chen. "You should wait outside before anyone else can challenge you. I'll be right out after finishing the battle."

"It's alright. I want to watch." Long Chen stepped back, folding his arms.

He had just seen a single skill of Gu Chen, and he was already impressed. He wanted to see more. And if he liked it more, he could ask Gu Chen to teach him. Even though he believed that some of the beliefs of his sect were naive, he didn't mind taking advantage of the other rules.

Moreover, this was also a great opportunity to see the strength of Zia Uzhi, who was scared to enter.

Zia Uzhi didn't want to step inside, which showed that he was weak: probably because he was a thief and not a warrior. But when going to fight Gu Chen, there wasn't even a little frown on his face.

He was like a completely serene person who didn't care if he was challenged.

Long Chen wondered if Gu Chen was going to surrender after initial bouts.

Even though the rule allowed for the battle to end when a person surrendered, it couldn't happen in the first twenty minutes of the battle unless the other party agreed.

If Zia Uzhi wanted to surrender, he couldn't surrender like Long Chen since Gu Chen wasn't going to accept his surrender. The battle was going to stretch for at least twenty minutes which was enough for him to see the battle skills of both of them.

"It's good to face the person who knows so much about me. Just like I did with him, I'll also allow you to use a weapon," Gu Chen told the young looking man

"And just like he did, I'll also refuse to use my weapon. I don't think I'll need it, especially on you," Zia Uzhi replied, sighing.

"So, what's your cultivation? What realm should I restrict my cultivation to?" Gu Chen asked.

He could see the cultivation of Long Chen, but that wasn't the case with Zia Uzhi. Even though he couldn't see his cultivation, he was sure that this guy was stronger than Long Chen. Moreover, he also believed that he had a weaker cultivation as well.

"You don't need to. I'll restrict my cultivation to your realm," Zia Uzhi sighed.

"Huh? What?" His simple words made Gu Chen frown. Was he saying that he had a stronger cultivation? But how?

Gu Chen knew that he was the Elder of the Buddha Sect. His cultivation was already pretty high. For this kid to have a higher cultivation than Buddha Sect Elder? Just who was it?

Even Long Chen was thinking about the same question. Wasn't he just a thief? Why was he stronger than an elder of a top sect?
