The Feng Zun Journey
Occasions
No creature in the world would be happy, if life and death were under the control of another, even if it was the spirit of a weapon.
The white-haired woman's question revealed an un veiled vexation and anger.
Although he was a sword spirit, he was a living being who had possessed intelligence and feelings. He naturally felt he had his own right to stay alive.
Unfortunately, his question was directed at Feng Zun, who had known many cases of sword spirits attacking his own master.
Even all the swords he had used before, all of them had spirits as well.
Feng Zun also knew that in the event of a debate on the matter, there would be no suitable answer to resolve it.
Just like humans, sword spirits were ultimately also born with their respective destinies.
Some sword spirits would risk everything for their master, without the slightest fear of death.
Some sword spirits will try as hard as they can to free themselves from their master, fighting at every opportunity, for the realization of freedom.
Some sword spirits, such as Qing Ruo, harbored the desire to rebel and kill their master from the very first moment it was born.
While the sword spirit of the white-haired woman was in a red dress?
He was willing to work for his master, and he was also loyal, but he would not be willing to sacrifice his life for any reason.
But this is not a question of whether sword spirits should have control over their own fates or not.
Actually this was a question about, whether he had done something wrong.
So then...
Did he do it?
The answer is that he did nothing wrong.
But on the other hand, he also could not be considered innocent!
“I have one question for you. When Qing Ruo suggested joining forces to take down her master, did you have warned Bai Chen? Feng Zun said coldly.
The white-haired woman's expression turned erratic under her gaze.
He slowly lowered his head and said, "At that moment, I don't believe that Bai Chen will actually choose to manipulate Celestial Blaze, so I interpreted Qing Ruo's words as an attempt, so I interpreted Qing Ruo's words as an attempt, to trigger trouble between me and Bai Chen."
“So, did Bai Chen really not know about it?" asked Feng Zun.
The white-haired lady nodded, then explained, “But if she does not choose to manipulate Celestial Blaze, the tragedy of that time will never happen!”
Feng Zun smiled and said, “I'm not here to discuss about what's right and wrong with you. Actually, what happens next will also have nothing to do with me. If I don't owe the Eternal Dragon Palace a favor, I won't bother asking a single question.”
He stopped here, then looked at the blue lantern, “No matter what you say, Bai Chen and the experts of the Eternal Dragon Palace died here. Do you never feel guilty, in your heart and conscience?”
The white haired woman was silent.
"Then why are you still waiting for Qing Ruo's arrival here?" asked Feng Zun.
He clearly knew that the trail of slashes on the lantern, equal to the trail of wounds on every dead cultivator, was also Qing Ruo's deed.
This was unquestionable proof that, after killing Bai Chen, Qing Ruo had attempted to free the white-haired woman from her shackles, it was just that she failed in the end.
He said with my saying, "If I tell you, that I'm waiting here so that I can kill him with my own hands, will you believe me?"
"Why?" asked Feng Zun.
The white-haired woman smiled grimly, "I feel a sense of guilt in my conscience."
It was just one simple statement, yet it seemed to have drained all of its strength, and its voice was filled with suffering and melancholy.
Before, when Feng Zun asked if he had a guilty conscience or not, he remained silent.
But now, he finally answered, and it seemed like he revealed a wound that had been so deep in his heart.
He looks very tortured.
Chuyu could only sigh to himself.
But Feng Zun however, was not too touched. "Then why are you so sure that Qing Ruo will come looking for you?"
The white-haired woman took a deep breath and said “Because she likes me. When he failed to get me out of the Soul Shackling Lantern, he went insane, and he killed every single Eternal Dragon Palace disciple who was here to vent his anger. He also said, as long as there was a chance, he would definitely do everything he could to take me away."
An expression of conflict appeared on his face, which came from a mixture of pain and hatred. “But he never knew that, I hate ruthless killers like him!”
Chuyu's expression turned erratic, he seemed to be able to feel such a deep hatred, which the white-haired woman was feeling.
This was the kind of hatred that accumulated over countless years, and no one could hide it.
"I can give you a chance," Feng Zun said.
The white haired woman was stunned. A moment later, he asked confusedly, "You're not going to kill me?"
Feng Zun said casually, "I just think that if Qing Ruo were to be killed by the woman he loved, it would probably comfort these dead souls."
"Are you not afraid that I'm lying to you?" ask the woman.
"Fear? ... Even if you join forces with Qing Ruo to attack me, you guys are still no match for me. So why should I be afraid?”
A moment later, he sharply changed tactics. “Of course, to prevent the unexpected, I will limit you. After you kill Qing Ruo, I will give you freedom."
“What kind of restrictions?” the woman asked confusedly.
Feng Zun pointed to the blue lantern. “Part fully into that lantern and allow me, to confine you to using the Eternal Dragon Palace formation.”
The expression of the white haired woman changed drastically. “But if I do this, doesn't that mean I'll never be able to escape confinement?”
“When the time comes, I can teach you to fuse those artifacts into your cultivation.” Feng Zun said calmly.
The white-haired lady wanted to ask, “Does such a miraculous method really exist in this world?”
But in the end, he held back.
He remembered how Feng Zun had made him submissive, with a terrifying majesty that was like a god, and the boundless power of his sword intent.
"Okay, I agree!" The woman clenched her teeth and nodded.
