Chapter 1867: The Reason for Mercy (1/2)
“Have a seat, E Chen sress in understanding the Way to Grand Ascension You’re half a step fro advanced e trouble h to seventh level?”
Forefather Ehed dejectedly “I don’t know Perhaps that’s just written inChen shook his head with a s one’s fate in the martial dao world While some are more fortunate than others, all cultivators who are truly on track to greatness possess the courage to forge their own path despite what their fate entails You, Embittered Bamboo, are not the unlucky sort Otherwise, I wouldn’t have spared you in our fight Wouldn’t it have been less risky for me to eliminate you then and there?”
The forefather paused “Didn’t you spareChen snorted “Enslave you?”
He shook his head and, in lieu of an explanation, waved his hand in the air A good nued out of the blue, covering the table before him
“Are… are these empyrean decrees?” The forefather widened his eyes “So many of theained I have many more decrees Do you still think I need to keep you around as a slave?”
Embittered Bamboo stared at the table owlishly, unable to utter a word He felt lightheaded He’d thought Jiang Chen only spared him to serve, but that didn’t see lord Jiang Chen, I’ve been blinded by my own biases,” he said hesitantly “It see your tiht and killed a good number of empyrean cultivators, many of ere ahead of you in cultivation Do you knohy I killed them without hesitation, but spared you at the ti face He truly had no clue The youngChen smiled faintly “I encountered more than a hundred cultivators who are more powerful than you are in Myriad Abyss, and there are many more than that there However, a lot of them can’t rival you in inherent presence due to the circumstances under which they cultivate
“They’rein Myriad Abyss, which is conducive to their cultivation If they’d been cultivating in your tribe or the huht Moreover, they live to leech off their sects and other experts They don’t have their agency like you do If I kill you, I’ll be elie Tribe for the next thousands of years I couldn’t find it in myself to do that”
“You couldn’t?” Embittered Bamboo couldn’t believe his ears “My tribe has always been the biggest threat to the huic that you would opt not to exter Chen shted as the other seniors of the huht believe that the Ee Tribe had to be rooted out while they were at their reed
The human race wasn’t his only consideration His perspective was broader
On a suard, preventing theer scale, the tribe would be part of the resistance against demons when they struck
The conflict between the human race and the Embittered Bamboo Tribe existed within the Divine Abyss Continent However, once the demons rose, they’d threaten all existence on the continent If they were left unchecked, all races would become their slaves with no hope of liberation
Of course, Jiang Chen wasn’t going to spell everything out for the forefather
