Ch86 - Whether or not it is righteous or evil, what does that have to do with you? (2/2)
As soon as he left, all the things on the table were destroyed by Su Xuanyan. Su Xuanyan had been upstairs the entire time, and when he came downstairs, he wrecked everything Han Wuzheng left behind with a glance, and even gave a cold snort, extremely unhappy about Xue Ling calling the other party his master. But he could not even make Xue Ling betray his sect as the other party insisted on killing Han Wuzheng himself. Su Xuanyan had always been unable to win against him, and therefore could only take out his anger on the things that Han Wuzheng had left behind.
Xue Ling had just battled with him earlier, and did not want to talk to him right now, so he turned around and began to study his own system.
The system had recently been urging to finish up in this world as soon as possible because it had news regarding Xue Ling’s tail in the next world, and the system was more excited about it than Xue Ling was. Xue Ling’s attitude now was already completely different from his previous anxiousness to retrieve his tail, because finding all his tails would mean that his travels through one world after another would end. He currently did not want to end his relationship with the man at all, so he was also not as eager to find and retrieve all his tails.

No one knew why the land of Jiuzhou was holding a demon slaughtering conference for the first time, but everyone’s enthusiasm for the event was practically overflowing. Battle was a very interesting thing for the players who used to be ordinary people but had now all become cultivators. They only needed a reason to fight until the world became a place of chaos and darkness, so when this grand demon slaughtering battle began, it quickly went out of control. By the time everyone came back to their senses, there was already no way to stop this war. Too many people had already died, and too many people had made a name for themselves in battle.
Nobody expected that this war would really be able to make the Venerable Devil show himself, so when the gate to the Devil World opened in front of them, people from both the devil and righteous factions both stopped their actions.
When cultivators fought, it was the mortals that suffered. The land of Jiuzhou had already become a wasteland due to the war between cultivators, and more and more people fell into the devil’s path because they were dissatisfied with the righteous path. Just like in the original plot, more and more people were bestowed power by the Venerable Devil, and the devil’s path cultivators had already overwhelmed the righteous cultivators by more than just a bit. Even those like Han Wuzheng who only commanded from the back had come out to fight and kill. This time, the gate to the Devil World opened because he threatened the devil’s path cultivators’ dominance.
Han Wuzheng watched the gate as it opened, a light in his eyes shining brilliantly as he sensed a trace of that familiar power that he had set himself against for so long.
Yes, it was this person who had toyed with him when he was still the main computer and then completely ignored him after he had lost the power of the main computer.
He had been very angry, but there was nothing he could do because there was ultimately still a gap in their powers. The gap was still there, but now he could really see this person and finally knew how to get ahead of him.
This was probably the first time that the Venerable Devil had appeared in front of the world. Anyone who had seen him before, regardless of whether they were god, or human, had already all died. At this moment, the gate to the Devil World was finally open, and endless darkness surged out. Except for Xue Ling, who had his gaze lowered as he slowly pulled out his sword, the battlefield fell into unprecedented silence as everyone looked up at the gate.

As a sword spirit, the system was somewhat excited at this moment. Xue Ling’s insistence on killing Han Wuzheng himself had been for the sake of the system – now that the system was the sword spirit of his life bonded sword, once the sword passed through Han Wuzheng’s body, the system could take the opportunity to invade and eat Han Wuzheng’s data and promote itself.
Although its host had never used it as a golden finger, he still remembered it, which made the system foolishly happy.
Han Wuzheng probably was unaware that he was already regarded by others as food, and that someone was quietly staring at him in secret. He had his head raised as he looked up at the gate and the person who stepped out from within.
This was also the first time that Xue Ling had ever seen Su Xuanyan as the Sealed Devil. He spent two seconds thinking about it, and felt that Su Xuanyan’s appearance was more in line with his aesthetic, before turning his head away and no longer looking at the Sealed Devil.
When he noticed that Xue Ling’s gaze had not fallen on him, the Sealed Devil became even less interested in the righteous path. He looked down at the dense group of people and waved his hand, directly taking away their cultivation. He curved his lips as he opened his mouth to say, “The righteous path cannot tolerate evil, and the devil’s path cannot be allowed to exist in this world?” The words that he uttered was the slogan of this time’s devil slaughtering conference. They were very grand, but they were full of irony when coming out of his mouth. “In this world, what is right, and what is evil?”
Han Wuzheng opened his mouth to reply, “We and ours are righteous, you and yours are evil. Cultivating the devil’s path harms lives, and is an evil way that heaven and earth cannot tolerate. Just like you, it should always be buried in the darkness. Although you are sealed as the Venerable Devil, you are still alone and friendless.”
“Alone and friendless.” The Sealed Devil seemed to be savouring the taste of these words. His purple eyes swept over the righteous cultivators, making many people tremble against their will. “I am not a lonely person, and even less a degenerate man who spends his days in endless darkness. But if you want to live like that, I can take you there.”
Han Wuzheng frowned as he said, “Sealed Devil, what you do is forbidden by heaven. Even if you can stand here today and look down on us all, it doesn’t mean you won’t be a prisoner in the future.”
“That is a very good threat, but I think that you won’t be able to see that day.” The Sealed Devil curved his lips, snapped his fingers, and Han Wuzheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Han Wuzheng opened his eyes wide in shock. A long sword had just passed through his chest, and the blood he had just coughed up left a stain of red on his robes. The sword was painted red with his blood, and his own data was being invaded. Han Wuzheng’s entire system was on the verge of collapse, and Han Wuzheng disbelievingly turned his head to see a cold-faced Xue Ling.
“You…” He had originally thought that this small artificial intelligence would not have the ability to make a move on himself, and had not thought that it would even be able to see through his identity, but the fact that it was relentlessly formatting his data told him clearly that he had been tricked.
“Master, the premise to speak harsh words is that you and the other side are equal, not that you are far inferior to the other side. Where did you get your belief that he would let you go even after you made such threats?” Xue Ling stared at him, and his eyes were cold. It was actually no different from the first time he had looked at him, but Han Wuzheng had always thought that this was just his character and he had been born like this. Xue Ling continued to look at him, and suddenly curved up his lips and laughed. “Or did you think that you would have a chance to run away and then swallow me up to become like him?”
Han Wuzheng made a sound, and spat out another mouthful of blood. The entire battlefield was suddenly in a great uproar, not having expected that such a thing would happen. After all, this kind of disciple betraying the master scene was too great to watch.
The Ten Thousand Sword Sect sect leader was so angry that his beard was almost about to flip up. He pulled out his sword and angrily called out, “Xing Dong! What are you trying to do?! Deceiving your master and destroying the ancestor?!”
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
“Deceiving my master and destroying the ancestor?” Xue Ling turned his head, and the smile on his face became even more attractive. Perhaps it was because of such a smile that many of the indignant people from the righteous path blushed, hurriedly turning their heads and no longer looking at him. “Does a man like him deserve to be my master?”
“Are you trying to betray your path?!”
“Path?” Xue Ling sneered as he spoke, “It will never be your turn to discuss whether my path is righteous or evil.” The sword in his hand whispered softly, and Xue Ling knew that the system had succeeded. He pulled out the sword in one move, and the blood that Han Wuzheng spat out was completely unable to sully his white clothing. He held the blood-stained sword in his hand, and his white robes moved on their own, his elegant style and unsurpassed beauty the same as it had always been. However, there was no longer the ice that would last for a thousand years on his face. What remained was a smile wicked enough to make people blush. “Whether or not it is righteous or evil, what does that have to do with you?”
No one could answer his question. Everyone was frightened by his rising momentum as he no longer hid his strength, and displayed his power that proved his qualifications as the second Sealed Devil.
Under such powerful pressure, no one could speak.
“Oh.” In the sky above the scene, the man looked down as he watched the play and couldn’t help but laugh.
