Chapter 1146: Your Ancestors Had Fated Opportunities (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under the bright moonlight, the streets were quiet and serene. The silver-white light shone on the walls and the streets. The wind seemed to howl and merge with the footsteps heard in the night.
A lone figure was illuminated by the moonlight.
Occasional barking of dogs broke the silence of the streets.
Yan Yuezhi looked at the person behind her with fear in her eyes.
But there was no change.
With a sigh, she respectfully said, “Greetings, Senior Lou.”
“It seems you know who I am,” Lou Mantian said with a smile.
Under the moonlight, he did not seem so frightening.
“Corpse Ancestor, your reputation precedes you,” said Yan Yuezhi.
“You’re quite interesting. You know who I am yet remain so calm. Do you think my strength isn’t sufficient to harm you?” Lou Mantian asked.
Yan Yuezhi shook her head. “Senior, your power is beyond the understanding of a junior like me. Since that’s the case, what’s the use of worrying about it? No matter how terrified I am, if you wanted to kill me, there would be no stopping it.”
“Seems like you don’t think I can be as calm and composed as you?” Lou Mantian asked.
Yan Yuezhi shook her head again and remained silent.
Lou Mantian did not ask her anything further. “I’m very curious. You discovered the Corpse Clan. Why did you leave them be? Shouldn’t you have exterminated them? Wouldn’t it bring trouble to you later?”
“Trouble?” Yan Yuezhi sighed softly. “Indeed. The Corpse Clan does have a knack for attracting trouble, especially within these city walls.”
“Then, why not kill them all?” Lou Mantian asked.
“There’s no exact reason,” she said calmly. “It’s just that I don’t see them as tools or puppets but as independent individuals. So, they have the right to seek survival. They deserve to live as much as anyone else.”
“They deserve to live? For how many years has the West been hunting the Corpse Clan? Are you showing them compassion?” Lou Mantian asked with a smile.
“Compassion?” Yan Yuezhi looked at him. “Senior, you must be joking. I didn’t show them anything. I just let them be. They’ve been surviving fine. If they create trouble, I won’t show them mercy or compassion.”
“Will you keep an eye on them?” Lou Mantian asked.
“Of course not.” Yan Yuezhi shook her head.
“Then, how will you know if they do something evil?”
“I don’t know,” Yan Yuezhi said. “Just like all living beings in the world, whether they’re members of immortal sects or the royal family, no one knows whether they’ll choose evil until they do it. But killing them all just on a guess won’t bring peace to anyone. Evil cannot be eradicated by more killings, after all. In that way, everyone is the same in this world.”
“You’re too soft. If they hadn’t been exterminated before, would the West have been where it is today? Would there have been such lasting peace? Why do you think other clans don’t create trouble as they please? It’s all because they were afraid of Gu Jin slaughtering them. He suppressed all the clans. That’s why humans could shine. Do you really think that from the West to the East, from the East to the North, Gu Jin was just traveling? He was killing his way through. When it comes to you, you think all beings are equal. Does everyone really deserve to have a life?”
Yan Yuezhi looked at the person in front of her and sighed softly. “Yes. I’m indeed soft. My achievements as an immortal aren’t that much. But it’s an honor that you are comparing me to Senior Gu.”
Lou Mantian looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
“You have a good temperament. I was calling you soft to trigger you to anger so that I could use it as an excuse to kill you. But here you are, admitting to it and avoiding a fight,” said Lou Mantian.
Yan Yuezhi bowed. “Thank you, Senior, for not killing me.”
“I’ll ask you something. Of course, it won’t be for free,” said Lou Mantian. “Do you know what’s happening in the North?”
“A divine object has disappeared, and it’s causing chaos in the North. The evil corpse of the Divine Corpse Sect has been revived,” she said.
“A divine object?” He frowned. “The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
He looked up at the sky. “The Great Era War…”
Then, a black aura condensed into a black ball in his hands. It looked as though it contained endless mysteries inside.
“This is for you. It’s Corpse Energy. The Corpse Clan in the West will acknowledge you and obey you. You can also reach me with this. Of course, I can reach you through this too. You are quite extraordinary, with exceptional luck. Your ancestors might have encountered quite an opportunity that has been passed down to you. With my help, your future will be bright. I want to fight in the Great Era War, but I have a feeling I might not be the protagonist of this story. Perhaps it could be you,” said Lou Mantian. “Even if you want to refuse, you can’t.”
The ball of Corpse Energy flew to Yan Yuezhi.
After hesitating for a moment, she accepted it.
Lou Mantian smiled. “Let me tell you one more thing. The evil corpses in the West might wake up later. However, there are some in my bag that you can use. But of course, everything comes with a price. I’ll also need your help in the future. There’s another thing. The one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is heading to the North.”
Yan Yuezhi was surprised.
It seemed that the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was heading to the North to train.
But could she make it?
