“Brother Shang, you…”
Blue Moon and Kong Ming were utterly incredulous.
They couldn’t comprehend why their senior brother, Shang Heyun, would do something like this.
Including the disciples of the Rising Sun Hall below who witnessed this scene, their faces also showed disbelief.
“Ancestor Shang, he…?”
Whoosh—
However, what answered them were two more sharp black lights.
Shang Heyun’s face, which had been filled with rage, now revealed an icy cold murderous intent.
“Junior Sister Lan, Junior Brother Kong Ming, don’t blame me.
I just want to continue living.”
“Continue living?”
Blue Moon and Kong Ming were first stunned, then as if understanding something, they asked in disbelief:
Senior Brother Shang, what did Hu Wentian and the others promise you? To actually make you go against our original intention and the promise you once made.”
“Intentions? Promises?”
A self-mocking smile flickered across Shang Heyun’s face.
He shook his head.
“Junior Sister Lan, Junior Brother KongMing, you don’t knowme at all.
My intention has always been just to survive.
When we founded the Rising Sun Hall together and fought against the oppression of the major sects, it was so.
Now, my choice to surrender to the Great Ling Imperial Palace, to that entity from the outer world, is also so.”
These words hit Blue Moon and Kong Ming like a heavy hammer, turning their faces pale.
As it turned out,
They had never really understood Shang Heyun from the beginning.
The so-called intentions, desires, and promises were nothing but tools for him to grow stronger and survive.
To think that they even treated him as their elder brother, someone they could completely rely on and trust.
It was all fake, everything was just an illusion!
Or to be more precise, they had misjudged and trusted the wrong person. For a moment, Blue Moon and Kong Tianjun’s Dao hearts were slightly unstable, their cultivation showing signs of instability, indicative of falling into demonic madness.
However, Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, and Luo Tianba on the opposite side showed no mercy.
Seizing the moment of emotional turmoil in their adversaries, they launched a fierce attack.
In just an instant, Blue Moon and Kong Ming were gravely injured, on the verge of collapse.
However, at this moment, a green light suddenly bloomed in the void.
In an instant, it turned into a shield.
Ting, ting, ting! A series of sounds rang out.
The attacks from Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, and others hit the green shield, only sparking off a series of sparks, unable to break through its defense.
This caused Shang Heyun and the others to narrow their eyes in surprise. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They immediately retreated.
At the same time, where they had stood, a green sword qi swept through, creating twisted ripples in space.
That is…
Hu Wentian, Shang Heyun, Luo Tianba, and the others all focused their gaze. Looking intently, they saw space opening in that area, and two figures emerged from within.
A man and a woman.
It was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At this moment, they looked around and finally settled their gaze on Blue Moon and Kong Ming, nodding their heads.
“Fortunately, it seems we are not too late.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan released a sword qi with his hand.
The sword Qi was golden in color.
In the blink of an eye, it split into countless threads.
It instantly swept towards the battlefield below.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
“Ugh!”
“Arghhhh!”
In that instant, countless demonic monsters and cultivators from the Eastern End and the Central Plain.
Jiang Chengxuan, however, did not focus on the situation below any longer and turned his attention back to Blue Moon and Kong Ming.
Fellow Daoists, the path we choose, the actions we take, and the vows we make are our own affairs, irrelevant to others.
The path of cultivation is long and winding, and who hasn’ t encountered betrayal, mistakes, or confusion along the way?
If we choose to punish ourselves for these experiences, becoming trapped in a corner of our thoughts, wouldn’t that be making it too easy for our enemies?
In doing so, what does it prove other than our original intentions, desires, and promises are just like the morning dew, drying up as soon as the sun shines, and nothing more?”
These words instantly enlightened Blue Moon and Kong Ming, who were originally in a daze and in pain.
Their previously fluctuating and unstable auras immediately stabilized.
Their spirit, Qi, and essence also ascended to a higher level, like beacon fires shooting straight into the sky.
“Thankyou foryour advice, FellowDaoist Jiang.”
Blue Moon and Kong Ming immediately bowed in gratitude.
“You are right. On the path of cultivation, all unexpected events are merely tests of the sincerity of our own intentions.
As the saying goes, a knife unsharpened is not sharp, jade uncarved is not formed, and a heart unrefined does not know truth from falsehood. We had indeed fallen into a trap just now and were on the brink of disaster. Please accept our gratitude.”
Saying this, Blue Moon and Kong Ming bowed deeply to Jiang Chengxuan again. This was a gratitude for awakening them to enlightenment, deep as the ocean. A mere bow could hardly express their full appreciation.
However, the current moment was obviously not the time for expressing thanks.
Jiang Chengxuan did not mind this and turned towards Shang Heyun, Hu Wentian, and Luo Tianba, smiling faintly as he said.
