Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 63 Heavenly Dao Arena

Jingni followed Yang Che all the way and discovered that Yang Che's lightness skill was actually very high. Although his speed was not extremely fast, it was elusive and unpredictable, and his aura did not leak out. He left no trace after passing by, making him a top-notch candidate to be an assassin.

If an outsider wanted to hunt down Yang Che, even if their martial arts were superior to his, it would probably be very difficult to succeed. Thinking about what happened after Yang Che destroyed the Poison Scorpion Sect, Jing Ni's mind raced, and she began to think more about things beyond the mission.

The two stealthily made their way through the darkness to the southern part of the city, where they stopped in front of a two-story building.

"Tianyi Daoist Temple?" Jingni's gaze swept over the plaque in the center of the small building, silently memorizing the name.

Yang Che walked straight in, wearing a mask he made himself, which was somewhat similar to Jing Ni's mask.

When Yang Che entered the Heavenly Dao Sect, the few people who had stayed in the small building quickly stood up. These were the beggars that Yang Che had subdued earlier. In the center of the hall was a martial arts arena where two identical girls were practicing swordsmanship. They were twin sisters that Yang Che had rescued from the Poison Scorpion Sect.

Although Yang Che has already established the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the Heavenly Demon Strategy has determined that the mission is not yet complete. Therefore, Yang Che has not yet obtained the Heaven-Mending Path, which is the inheritance of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and naturally cannot pass it on to the Jingzhe sisters. The sword technique that the two are currently practicing was obtained from Jingni.

As an assassin of the Luo Wang organization, Jing Ni has killed not only high-ranking officials and nobles but also chivalrous figures in the martial arts world over the years. For her, taking out a sword manual is an extremely simple matter.

At this moment, the Jingzhe sisters wielded their long swords, both exuding a chilling killing intent. Even though their opponents were their own sisters, they showed no mercy. The wildness that Yang Che had once seen in them was now transforming into murderous intent.

Yang Che didn't know what kind of mental journey the two girls had gone through to undergo such a transformation. He only knew that this transformation was exactly what he needed.

The Butian Pavilion disagrees with the Flower Sect. It is based on assassins and focuses on the art of assassination, without needing any more emotions.

Yang Che's appearance caused the two girls to sheathe their swords and look at him, bowing to him along with the others.

Yang Che accepted the offer without hesitation and then said, "The Heavenly Dao Academy is well-managed. From now on, we will use this as a foundation to recruit suitable young men and women to learn martial arts, and then select disciples from among them who are qualified to become assassins of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

This is Yang Che's plan for the Butian Pavilion. As an assassin organization, the Butian Pavilion is not like the Flower Sect, which has only one successor in each generation. It is a complete organization and a sect.

The Heaven-Mending Pavilion that Yang Che is currently building is only in its initial form and is far from being the real Heaven-Mending Pavilion. In his plan, he will swallow up the Nightfall in three years and gradually devour the Net in five years. Only after three years of growth and a five-year plan will the Heaven-Mending Pavilion be the real Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

The Demonic Sect's vision has never been limited to just one corner of the martial arts world.

"It's all thanks to the Pavilion Master's foresight," said the group of former beggars who had now become members of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"I have important business to attend to for a while, and you only have one mission." Yang Che's voice was cold beneath the mask, which perfectly matched the people's understanding of the assassin leader.

"Please give your orders, Pavilion Master." The group remained solemn. They had already experienced Yang Che's terrifying power, and now they felt no desire to resist him.

"Within three months, take the head of Wang Renyi, a wealthy man in the south of the city. You can devise the specific plan yourselves. If you fail to complete the mission by then, you will have no reason to exist. The Butian Pavilion has no need for useless people."

"Yes." The group felt a chill run down their spines as they sensed a killing intent emanating from Yang Che that, though not powerful, struck straight to the soul.

Jing Ni looked at everything in front of her, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. Yang Che playing the zither and painting might be very charming in the eyes of other women, but in her eyes, he was utterly boring. On the contrary, the cold and aloof Yang Che now made her feel good.

Of course, if Yang Che were truly only cold and aloof, Jing Ni wouldn't have felt this way. Most assassins in the Nightfall are like that, and she's never seen showing any affection for any of them.

Jingni's curiosity about Yang Che stemmed purely from the fact that she already knew about Yang Che's other side, which is why she was so interested in his cold and indifferent side.

Therefore, to be more precise, Jingni was interested in Yang Che, who possessed the aura of both the Flower Sect and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, rather than the side that Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and Hong Lian only saw.

After leaving the Heavenly Dao Academy, Jing Ni surprisingly asked Yang Che, "Why did you establish an assassin organization? Is it to expand your power, or even control the state of Han, like Ji Wuye did?"

"Controlling Han, Ji Wuye? Han is too small. As for Ji Wuye, he is just a small obstacle on my path forward, a mere stumbling block." Since Jing Ni rarely took the initiative to ask, Yang Che naturally did not hesitate to offer his explanation.

"So, you want to establish an organization similar to the Net?" Jing Ni pressed, now increasingly curious about Yang Che.

"Indeed, the Net only covers the world, while the Heaven-Mending Pavilion aims to mend the great Dao of this world," Yang Che said solemnly.

When he first awakened his memories, all he thought about was romance and poetry, but when he possessed the Heavenly Demon Strategy, all he thought about was the world.

Romantic themes are still indispensable, but the world cannot be dominated by only a few.

Who doesn't have a dream, to plan the world according to their own ideals? King Zheng of Qin had such an ideal, Han Fei had such an ideal, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in the future also had such an ideal. This is the ultimate romance for every man.

"Can't an assassin just be an assassin?" Jing Ni asked, a look of confusion on her face.

Yang Che stared at Jing Ni in astonishment. Only then did he realize something and asked, "Why did you become an assassin?"

"I don't know. I've been caught in the net since I can remember," Jingni said blankly.

"Do you enjoy killing?" Yang Che asked.

"I don't know." Jingni shook her head.

"Did you kill people for money?" Yang Che asked again.

"No." Jingni shook her head. She had no desire for fine food and clothes, so naturally she had no desire for money either.

"That's for cultivating more advanced martial arts, for achieving greater fame, and for gaining a higher status?"

Yang Che pressed on with his questions.

"No, I never thought about cultivating any advanced martial arts. The martial arts I cultivate were all given to me by the Net. I cultivate whatever they give me. As for fame, what do I need those things for? And status, those are not my pursuit either," Jing Ni shook her head and said.

"Then why do you serve the Net?"

Yang Che became curious. He had always wanted to peer into Jing Ni's inner world and understand her from a woman's perspective. He had made many efforts for this, but he forgot the simplest way: first understand this female assassin, and then understand her as a woman through her.

Jing Ni was bewildered. She had never thought about this question before. Why did she become an assassin? She didn't know. Why did she have to keep carrying out missions? She didn't know either.

"You are not for fame, not for profit, not for martial arts, and not for high position. You are still alone. You have no desires, so the Net cannot tempt you. You have no relatives, so the Net has nothing to threaten or control you. You are clearly the freest person in the world. Why do you obey the Net's orders?" Yang Che scrutinized Jing Ni, his eyes full of curiosity.

Jing Ni is ruthless and without desire, so what can the Luo Wang do to control her?

In the original trajectory, Jing Ni was not afraid of being hunted down by Luo Wang. It was only after she became pregnant and gave birth that she had something to worry about, a weakness, and had no choice but to compromise.

But Jing Ni now has no weaknesses.

"I don't know." Jing Ni shook her head blankly. She had never thought about these things. She was born to be an assassin, and she was already used to everything.

"If I weren't an assassin, what else could I be doing?"

Jing Ni looked bewildered; the once ruthless female assassin now possessed a touch of feminine vulnerability.

"I can only be an assassin," Jing Ni murmured to herself, as if answering Yang Che, or as if saying to herself, "I understand." Looking at Jing Ni at this moment, a flash of inspiration crossed Yang Che's mind.

Jingni looked at Yang Che, who had suddenly realized something, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes. What kind of answer would Yang Che give her?

"It seems you're not so difficult to handle after all." Yang Che looked Jing Ni up and down. After spending time together, he had already concluded that Jing Ni was hard to approach. But now he realized that he had overcomplicated the issue. The reason his approach was ineffective on Jing Ni was because they weren't on the same wavelength.

His most complex methods, when used to deal with a simple-minded person, seem to be highly skilled, but in reality, they are completely counterproductive.

Under Jingni's puzzled gaze, Yang Che continued, "You just need a reason to live, and right now, you're using the Net as your reason for living. This isn't your choice, but rather because you've become accustomed to the Net. One day in the future, this reason will definitely change."

The more Yang Che spoke, the clearer his judgment of Jing Ni became, which explained the things Jing Ni did in the original trajectory.

Her heart was empty, but once something or someone occupied it, her heart would be completely filled.

She is a very pure person. Right now, she is a pure female assassin, and in the future, she can also be a pure woman. In the original trajectory, this pure female assassin has transformed into a pure mother.

Jingni looked at Yang Che, whose joy was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal, and wondered why he was so happy. Was it because of her?

As Jingni pondered, she couldn't help but think of this possibility. Realizing that it was possible, her heart skipped a beat, and her previously empty heart seemed to have gained a strange emotion.
