Wan Lei still didn't quite understand and shook his head.

Wan Hongxin chuckled and said, "Let me give you an example. You're in a fight with someone, and the enemy suddenly throws an explosive magical treasure at you, which you catch.

At this point, you have two choices. One is to let it explode as it is, which would kill you and a few friends nearby.

The other choice is to throw it out the window, letting it explode outside. But there's a stranger outside. This way, you all save your lives, but the innocent stranger outside will be killed.

Don't argue, just these two choices. What do you choose?"

Wan Lei said without thinking, "Of course I'd throw it out. My life and my friends' lives are the most important."

"But in their eyes, you would have killed an innocent person."

"But I saved more people."

"But you still killed someone, someone who shouldn't have died, but died by your hand."

"But the explosive magical treasure belongs to the enemy."

"But you're the one who threw it out. The life of the person outside isn't worth less than the lives of you and your friends."

"But saving more people is also a meritorious deed, isn't it? Can't that offset the sin of killing that person?"

Wan Hongxin sighed and said, "This is the logic of the Heaven's Condemned. Merit does not offset demerit. In their eyes, life is priceless.

If life could be measured by value, then if someone killed a hundred people and then saved a thousand, would that mean the crime of killing a hundred people could be offset?"

Wan Lei was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed dumbfoundedly, "What kind of bullshit logic is that? At that time, who would think so much? A person's instinct is to protect themselves. As long as I don't die, what does it matter if I kill a hundred or a thousand people?"

"That's why I say the Heaven's Condemned are a group of extreme lunatics. If they encounter this kind of thing, they will spare no effort to kill the person who harmed others...

Even if he saved more people."

Wan Hongxin sighed. This time, Wan Lei had stirred up a hornet's nest and was being targeted by the Heaven's Condemned.

"Well, fine, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are plenty of people who want to kill me. Aren't there a bunch of corpses lying on the ground? Let them come. If they have the ability, they can kill me. If they don't, they'll be killed by me."

Wan Lei was helpless and resentful. Who did he offend? As soon as he came to this world, the Heavenly Punishment was after him to the death, the Heaven's Condemned were targeting him, and he was being hunted down by the assassins hired by Second Uncle. He really didn't know when he would die.

"Listening to you, these corpses aren't with the Heaven's Condemned?"

Wan Hongxin asked suspiciously.

"That's right. That girl has already come to kill me twice. The last time was the time when Wan Jin and the others were beaten. I joined forces with her to defeat Wan Jin and the others, and then I defeated her and spared her life. This second time, she came to kill me again, but she ran into the assassins again and joined forces with me again. She's really a silly girl."

Wan Lei couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of Qi Manyao.

"In that case, and adding the fact that I saw you showing mercy everywhere when you were fighting her, and she even pleaded for you in the end, this girl is not bad. You can consider bringing her into our Wan family."

Wan Hongxin said with a smile.

"Forget it. She's only thinking about killing me. Are you suggesting that I bring her home and sleep with one eye open every night?"

Wan Lei curled his lips and said.

"Her heart must be very complicated, and so is yours."

Wan Hongxin glanced at his son.

Wan Lei looked at his father in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

The storm of the night finally passed, and the father and son returned home.

Wan Lei didn't mention the black-clad assassins, and Wan Hongxin didn't ask, but he knew very well that the assassins were hired by Wan Xiaotian.

Wan Hongxin looked at the rain curtain falling from the eaves outside the window and murmured to himself.

"Second Uncle, have you become so mad? You're actually attacking Lei'er. I always thought that no matter how much we fought, we were still family. Even if we lost in the future, you would leave us a way out.

But now it seems that we are irreconcilable. If you are unrighteous, don't blame me for not showing family affection.

But Lei'er was actually able to take care of three Foundation Establishment cultivators and ten peak ninth-level Initial Force Realm cultivators by himself. Then Lei'er's talent far surpasses Wan Liuchuan's... My family has hope..."

Wan Lei sat alone in his room, constantly thinking about the powerful expert who had warned him of danger and given him a lightning bolt that surpassed the Heavenly Dao. Who exactly was this expert?

Since he came into this world, he had never met any mysterious experts except for his family elders. He didn't think that the mysterious expert was his father.

Although Wan Hongxin was a Core Formation expert, that lightning bolt was far beyond what Wan Hongxin was qualified to possess.

Who exactly are you? You said that when I am qualified to stand in front of you, I will know who you are, but how can I be qualified?

Wan Lei kept thinking in his heart.

A few more days passed. Early one morning, Wan Hongxin took Wan Lei to the small forest early.

Today was the day Wan Lei would undergo the third wave of Heavenly Punishment.

After waiting for a while, Sui Potian and his son, Sui Xiaohang, arrived as scheduled.

"Brother Hongxin, long time no see."

Sui Potian greeted Wan Hongxin with a smile, cupping his fist.

Since he saw the possibility of Wan Lei overcoming the Heavenly Punishment last time, coupled with Wan Lei's crushing performance against powerful enemies in the academy competition, Sui Potian's attitude towards Wan Hongxin was no longer the lukewarm attitude of the past, but became much more cordial.

"We haven't waited long, we just arrived as well. Today is the day Lei'er will undergo Heavenly Punishment, and I hope Brother Potian will protect him."

Wan Hongxin also said with a smile.

"It's a small matter. This is what I, as an elder, should do. Lei'er is able to use Heavenly Punishment to improve his cultivation. He can be said to have unparalleled talent. Of course, I am willing to see him continue to become stronger."

Sui Potian smiled like a kind elder.

"Good, Lei'er, go and wait for the Heavenly Punishment."

Wan Hongxin said to Wan Lei.

"Xiaohang, you go over too. You two brothers have agreed to share life and death."

Sui Potian let Sui Xiaohang go over as well.

Wan Lei and Sui Xiaohang walked into the small forest. Watching their backs, the smile on Wan Hongxin's face gradually disappeared.

"What's wrong, Brother? Is there a problem with Lei'er?"

Sui Potian keenly noticed that Wan Hongxin's mood was not right and asked carefully.

Wan Lei couldn't have any problems, otherwise, what would happen to his son?

Wan Hongxin shook his head and said, "No, Lei'er is the same as before. There is no problem in undergoing the Heavenly Punishment."

"That's good, then why are you frowning?"

Sui Potian was relieved.

"But my Second Uncle has a problem. You don't know, a few nights ago, right here, something happened..."

Wan Hongxin sighed.
