Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

"Wan'er, do you think that I, your master, am a little cold and heartless?"

Nangong Wan shook her head and said nothing, but what she was thinking was,

"The Moon-Shattering Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. The responsibility of inheritance rests on Master, so the continuation of the sect is naturally the top priority."

"It's just that Master's purpose was correct, but her methods were too explosive. How can I say she was wrong?"

Lingyue looked at Nangong Wan, who looked like a little girl in front of her. This disciple had stayed in the Hehuan Sect for a long time, but after coming back, her heart was still kind.

Although the methods were quite cruel and ruthless, in Lingyue's opinion, they were far from enough!
"Wan'er, do you know how many years my master has lived now?"

"I can still remember clearly what happened a thousand years ago. At that time, I was just like you now. I always considered other people's thoughts, the impact, and many other things before doing anything."

“But Wan’er, you can be like this during the Jindan stage, but you are destined to condense the Yuanying stage. After the Yuanying stage, you must know one thing.”

"That's the so-called rules, influence, the eyes of the world, moral criticism, everything is decided by you."

"As long as you are at peace in your heart, these rules and regulations will not affect you at all."

"There is no right or wrong in the actions of Nascent Soul cultivators. Everything they do is the truth. Only when two Nascent Soul cultivators meet will their strength determine who is right and who is wrong."

Nangong Wan listened carefully, and her heart was deeply shocked. Her cultivation had reached the middle stage of Jindan. At this rate, she would be ready to form an infant within a hundred years. By then, she would also be a part of the group that controlled the rules.

However, in her opinion, this method of doing things is still a bit inhumane.
"Master, these Jindan cultivators are the pillars of our Yanyue Sect. If we force them to die like this, won't it cause some backlash?"

Lingyue smiled and said,
"Even ants try to survive, let alone these experienced Jindan cultivators."

Just as Lingyue finished speaking, a female monk came in to report.

"Grandmaster, Uncle Nangong, Nishang and the other five uncles did not choose to fight after they went out, but fled directly."

"Currently, eight magic dao Jindan cultivators are chasing him."

Lingyue stood up at this time and said,

"It's time. The Ten Great Battles are over. It's time for us to leave."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, as if he had received some instructions, and six enormous ships rose up in the Yanyue Sect. Each one was like an ancient treasure, emitting powerful spiritual light.

"Among these six large ships, three are abandoned. Only the three ships where the three of us Yuanying are are driving the fourth-order treasure ships. Yunlu has been suppressed by us through the righteous way, and will not take action this time. This way there is a glimmer of hope."

"Those disciples who led away the Jindan cultivators used their lives to open a path for us to escape."

Lingyue said this to Nangong Wan beside her. These words not only fell into the ears of Nangong Wan, but also into the ears of the foundation-building disciple who came in front to report the battle situation. That disciple kept his head down and said nothing.

Nangong Wan patted the disciple's shoulder and revealed a tearful face. This person was Nishang's disciple, Shen Xiner.

Shen Xiner has been precocious since childhood. She carried a blood feud and was willing to sacrifice her life. She witnessed her enemy being dismembered with her own eyes. In the end, she was noticed by Yi Jue and given to Nishang.

Nichang has been very good to her over the years, so she is not someone who forgets her roots. She just listened to the high talk of the Yuanying master in front of her, as if her master, a low-level Jindan cultivator, was just a chess piece that could be manipulated at will, and could only hide the darkness in her heart. Lingyue naturally didn't care about the thoughts of a foundation-building disciple. She and Yunlu both knew that the power of the Yanyue Sect was too strong. If they let it go directly, no matter which sect of the demon sect, would not feel at ease.

Therefore, as the defeated party, they naturally had to pay a price. Of the nearly ten Jindan cultivators from Huangfeng Valley, less than half were left when they left Yue State. There were nearly twenty Jindan cultivators from Yanyue Sect, and at least ten had to stay.

On this point, both the righteous path and the evil path are surprisingly consistent.

This is the rule for Nascent Soul cultivators. Once it is determined, it must be executed.

However, after the Yanyue Sect did as they were told, Yunlu could no longer kill them all. Once they did that, the Yanyue Sect would have to fight to the death. Although the fight to the death of the three Nascent Soul cultivators could not shake the Hehuan Sect, it would still be easy to cause some trouble.

Therefore, when Nichang and the other six people flew away, Yunlu did not show any expression. He knew that these cultivators were doomed to die. He simply ignored the Yanyue Sect and moved his body to catch up with a Jindan cultivator.

"Submit, or die!"

A female cultivator who had reached the Jindan stage was stopped by Yunlu. She immediately activated a magic silk ribbon weapon without hesitation and pulled it towards Yunlu. Yunlu flashed and came to the side of the female cultivator. With both hands flying, a seal was directly imprinted on the female cultivator's body.

The female cultivator flew out instantly, and then pink lines began to spread on her body. She then felt that the magic power in her body disappeared, and she could not even control her own body, and was trapped there.

"Demon Yunlu, please kill me!"

"I can't possibly give in!"

Yunlu laughed and said,

"I don't take to heart what comes out of your mouth."

"I will remember what your body tells me."

Then he waved his sleeves and collected the woman's elixir directly into his own furnace magic weapon, and then went to track down another female cultivator.

The moment Yi Jue saw Ni Chang coming out, he followed her. Then, with the cooperation of the two, Ni Chang was taken into the Ring of Wonders by Yi Jue without any chance to fight back.

"It's a good thing you're here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

"We never expected that Lingyue would use this method to achieve the goal of weakening the Yanyue Sect, leaving us completely unprepared."

Nichang transmitted the message,
Yi Jue said,

"I have said before that the Yanyue Sect is the number one sect in Yue State. If Yue State is defeated, and if the Yanyue Sect is too strong, none of the sects in Yue State will be willing to take them in."

"Both the righteous and evil sects are unwilling to see such a powerful and talented Yanyue Sect."

"After this great battle, I'm afraid that the Moon-Shattering Sect won't be able to recover for hundreds of years. In this way, at least the righteous and evil sects can rest assured about such a huge monster."

"It seems that Lingyue has found a witness from the righteous side, but in fact, how can it not be that both the righteous and the evil sides are working together to weaken the Yanyue Sect? However, this may not be what Lingyue herself wants to do. Naturally, leaving requires making choices."

"She is probably worried that you Jindan cultivators will not obey her and that the power of the Yanyue Sect will fall into someone else's hands after her death." (End of this chapter)
