Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 432 - 426: Resolve Grudges [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

Sha Chen, by his own strength, blocked Nezha and the other two. No matter how their Divine Powers, Magical Tools, or sword qi struck him, he remained indifferent and unmoved.

The Three Holy Mother was quite astonished. Nezha and the other two were stunned, their faces frozen in disbelief. Then, in utter panic, they quickly stopped their attacks.

Dragon Girl exclaimed, "General Brother, are you all right?"

Sha Chen said, "Can you stop fighting?"

Dragon Girl responded, "Nezha killed my third brother! He’s my sworn enemy; I cannot forgive him."

Ao Lie also said, "Brother, don’t interfere in this matter."

Sha Chen said indifferently, "I must intervene in this matter. He follows me, as do you all. I do not expect you to let bygones be bygones with a smile, but you cannot fight in my presence."

Ao Lie and Dragon Girl exchanged glances, then glared at Nezha and said, "Nezha, if you dare, fight us outside."

Nezha, unwilling to show weakness, scoffed, "You think I’m afraid of you? If I were to truly get serious, forget just the two of you, I could take on your entire Dragon Clan without a problem."

Ao Lie and his sister were provoked, furious beyond measure and teeming with killing intent, shouting for a fight to the death.

Sha Chen pressed them directly to the ground and said sternly, "I’ve said it before, in my territory, no disturbances are allowed. If you don’t behave, I’ll simply kill you all."

Seemingly sensing Sha Chen’s killing intent, Ao Lie, Dragon Girl, and Nezha instantly calmed down, becoming obedient and not daring to make a sound. They were already afraid of Sha Chen, and he certainly wouldn’t want to see them causing trouble like this. Moreover, they believed Sha Chen was a man of his word. If they were to die at his hands, it would be a truly tragic end.

Nezha was the first to relax, saying, "River Lord, I wasn’t the one causing trouble; these siblings were relentless. For the events of the past, I have received my just desserts, and all enmity has already dissipated. Yet, they still pursue it relentlessly. If there are still issues, everything is up to you, River Lord."

Sha Chen nodded and said, "In this matter, listen to me."

Nezha cupped his fists and said, "I’ll abide by the River Lord’s orders." Then he turned to look at Ao Lie and his sister, his eyes filled with coldness.

Sha Chen also looked over and asked, "You two, will you respect my decision?"

Ao Lie and his sister naturally had immense trust in Sha Chen. After exchanging glances, they said, "Of course, Brother. We’ll leave everything to your decision."

Sha Chen let the three of them up. The Three Holy Mother wanted to persuade them, but Sha Chen stopped her with a look. In this kind of matter, what the Three Holy Mother said truly wouldn’t make a difference. They only trusted Sha Chen, and Sha Chen had to make a fair decision on this matter.

Sha Chen had them sit down again, then said calmly while looking at them, "You all know about the matters of the past. It was Nezha who caused havoc in the seas, killed Ao Bing, and then the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea flooded Chen Tang Guan in retaliation. Later, Nezha committed suicide to atone for his sins, correct?"

All three nodded, and the Three Holy Mother also silently nodded. After this event, the Divine Enthronement calamity began.

Sha Chen continued, "The events of the past had their cause and effect, which dissipated entirely after Nezha’s suicide. The Dragon Clan has stopped pursuing the matter, and the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea has not mentioned it again. As juniors, there’s no need for you to constantly keep hatred in your hearts. Moreover, the enmity has been dissolved, the karmic debt settled. Nezha has already paid with his life; that should have been the end of it."

Nezha nodded in agreement from the side. However, this time, Ao Lie and his sister furrowed their brows, clearly not entirely in agreement.

Sha Chen looked at them and said, "If you think I’m incorrect, you can speak up. I am not an unreasonable person. If you can find the words to refute me, then I will listen to you."

Ao Lie and his sister opened their mouths to speak, then hesitated, wanting to refute him but unable to find the words. They remained silent for a long moment, unable to utter a word.

Sha Chen looked at them and said calmly, "It seems you have nothing more to say. Let’s put this matter to rest."

Dragon Girl, somewhat reluctantly, said, "General Brother, but... did my third brother just die in vain? He doted on me when I was a child." As she spoke, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

Nezha’s gaze flickered, and he lowered his head. He was kind-hearted and had always regretted his past impulsiveness.

Sha Chen reached out and patted Dragon Girl. Seizing the opportunity, she burrowed into his embrace and wept bitterly. "General Brother, my third brother was really good to me. I cried for so long after I lost him. I really miss him. SOB SOB SOB, General Brother, your embrace is even warmer than my third brother’s. Thank you, thank you for comforting me, thank you..."

Sha Chen had originally intended to push her away, but after some thought, he patted her back and offered a few words of comfort. His attempts at comfort seemed to make it worse; the more he tried to console her, the more bitterly Dragon Girl wept, tears streaming down her face.

Sha Chen could see that Dragon Girl’s feelings for Ao Bing weren’t that deep; she just wanted to use this opportunity to grow closer to him. However, he didn’t expose this.

Sha Chen said, "Let the past be the past. I do not wish for you to fight. Even if you cannot be friends, you must not try to kill each other. If you listen to me, do as I say. From today onward, get to know each other and forgive each other."

Dragon Girl said, "General Brother, I’ll listen to you."

Sha Chen smiled and patted her on the head. She seemed to enjoy it immensely and smiled sweetly.

Ao Lie also said, "Brother, I’ll listen to you as well."

Actually, regarding Ao Bing, they really had nothing to say. The past enmity had long been resolved. It was just that now, upon encountering Nezha and having gained strength, they wanted revenge. After Sha Chen stopped them, they had already calmed down. They all followed Sha Chen and knew that fighting among themselves was unacceptable, as it would put him in a difficult position.

Sha Chen said, "If you want to compete, you may, but it must not endanger your lives. Besides, if you are to compete, why not see who can reach the Quasi-Saint Realm faster? Nezha wants to strengthen the Li Family; you want to restore the Dragon Clan’s honor. Why not compete to see who is more capable by focusing on improving your own strength? Isn’t that a better way?"

The three fell silent for a moment, then their eyes sparkled with determination. Clearly, they had made up their minds.

Nezha stood up, then turned to Ao Lie and his sister and cupped his fists, saying, "Although the enmity of the past has been resolved and I have paid with my life, I still feel guilty. I, Nezha, promise here that if your Dragon Clan ever faces danger in the future and I can help, I will."

Ao Lie and his sister were taken aback, their faces flushing. While they still blamed Nezha, it had happened a long time ago. With Nezha having spoken to this extent, if they still insisted, they would seem unreasonable.

Thus, they fell silent for a moment. Then, under Sha Chen’s watchful gaze, they also cupped their fists.

"We all follow Brother. Let’s hope we can work together, support him in every possible way, and not cause him trouble."
