Chapter 142 (1/2)

”Hoicked!” Xue Wei shen he learned the truth about the priestess and her bloodline She nodded in response ”In the oath that the villagers swear, they also have to swear that they will make their descendants swear the sain his father dying through the destruction of his soul Since then, no one has even thought about escaping from this fate”

”What about you?” Xue Wei asked curiously ”Don't you have to swear an oath as well? Are you not going against that oath right now?”

Jiang Fengmian shook her head sadly ”I don't have to swear the oath The experts who ers would be able to keep me, and my ancestors, in check”

”It is the same with the women and the children; they are not forced to make the same oath, because the experts were certain that they would just do their best to support their spouses and friends”

”At the saain Don’t forget, the experts placed down quite a few formations, where the Thousand Mist Formation is the h the formation for the rest of their lives and eventually perish, sooner or later”

Xue Wei was silent and contemplative The sword in his hand was known as an evil spirit, but he felt differently about its actions prior to the big battle

The only thing this santed was to achieve i an expert at the apex to a sword spirit, Xue Wei was unsure, but he was confident it had so to do with the experiments made by Bai Tianyi

These other experts had wanted to acquire his methods and resorted to such ruthless ain be free It was apparent to Xue Wei who the evil ones were, on a personal level

Xue Wei and Tianyi’stheir soul contract, so the foruely understand the latter’s mindset The sword spirit could sense not only Xue Wei’s need for answers, but also a hatred towards the apex experts that had caused all of this to happen to begin with

Not because he felt sorry for the sword, but because generations of villagers had been treated as slaves

”Don't think like that!” Tianyi suddenly said with a stern voice ”Do not feel sorry for theets If you want to do them a favor, then kill them! Then their descendants will finally be free, and they can once again live a life of freedom”

”The ones who have already taken the oath have no chance of ever tasting freedoain The best we can do is exterminate them to the very last person”

Tianyi was harsh, but Xue Wei understood that he was correct If they allowed just one person to return to the village, then the next generation would also be forced into taking the oath and the cycle would remain unbroken

Xue Wei nodded his head His heart, which had wavered slightly, was now firain, and his eyes were narroith decisiveness as he returned to the task at hand

Hei Gou had no thoughts of pity towards the villagers He was a beast, and he did not care for others than himself and his dear ones

Xue Wei did not feel that Hei Gou was inhu his nature, and it was not possible to change his views on things, so why even bother trying?

”I will roup and make him cause as much ruckus as possible,” Xue Wei briefed the others on their first move ”I leave all the Sky Warriors to you Don't let them rush over and focus me,” Xue Wei warned Hei Gou

”I will try to deal with all the Earth Warriors, but since I have quite a few more experts to deal with than you, come to assist me as soon as you can!”

They had no in-depth plan Their only hope was to take the oath-sarriors froe by surprise with internal tur through their numbers

Xue Wei and Hei Gou left the priestess at a safe location inside a cave nearby before they snuck up to the large group of experts The priestess was not someone they wished to risk in the free-for-all that the battle would turn into later on

It did not take theroup They were around forty experts, so theyon their surroundings to locate Xue Wei and Hei Gou

They saw no signs of their two targets, but what they did find was one corpse after another Now that they were turning the forest upside down, every single body was being discovered

Some of them had already been partially eaten by wild beasts, but most were fresh ounds all over and blood still about to coagulate

These experts fro was suicide They had already acknowledged that if they h one of its secrets, butalone would also lead them to their deaths

Since this was the case, they decided to gaiven up on actually winning this battle

Their eyes were listless, and their moods became more and more depressed with each corpse they found

It was currently night, and the Ver appearance
