Chapter 265: Ye Lingxuan’s Worries

Master Lingkong’s short sentence stunned everyone present.

Everyone predicted that Ye Lingxuan would be furious.

After all, as the eldest senior sister, Ye Lingxuan was the most loyal disciple of the sect. Facing the betrayal of Wang Shuang and his group of friends, being angered or producing killing intent was absolutely reasonable.

Furthermore, Senior Sister Ye Lingxuan was still young.

Young people were full of vigor. It was reasonable for them to kill one or two people when they are in a rage.

However, Master Lingkong was different.

Master Lingkong was already 300 years old.

A 300-year-old old man should have long seen through all kinds of injustice in the world. Even if he encountered a huge matter, he should not show his emotions.

How come…

Even he made a move?

The only explanation was that…

This time around, Master Lingkong had really been angered.

His expression and tone still remained calm.

Despite that, everyone could clearly feel the anger in his heart that surged like a volcano.

An ordinary man’s anger could be seen on the physical level.

On the contrary, an able person would never show their anger physically.

Everyone present looked at Master Lingkong, who was sitting in the middle with his eyes closed. Everyone’s faces were pale.

All the disciples looked at Master Lingkong, who was sitting in the middle with closed eyes, and their faces were as pale as snow.

Many of Wang Shuang’s henchmen were so frightened that their faces had ashen. They plopped to the group like a pile of mud and were at a loss for words.

As for Ye Lingxuan, she naturally did not expect Grandmaster to personally make a move.

She held her sword and stood rooted to the ground for a long time. She came to a realization only after the Grandmaster had given her an order. Then, she no longer hesitated. One by one, she directly swung her sword and punished the traitors who were on the ground!

Thanks to the Grandmaster’s order, Ye Lingxuan showed no mercy this time.

Countless people cried their hearts out in an attempt to have Ye Lingxuan spare their lives.

Though in the end, Ye Lingxuan’s face was ice-cold as she mercilessly swung the long sword in her hand.

This would be considered the largest scale of execution in the Green Dragon Sect in the past hundred years.

When the execution was over, Ye Lingxuan did a headcount on the number of traitors. Shockingly, she found that there were a total of 89 traitors that had lost their lives under her sword!

89 people…

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, she still staggered and almost fell when she found out the actual number.

She, Ye Lingxuan, had not even killed this many enemies over the past 20 years.

However, today, she had personally killed many people from her own sect.

Ye Lingxuan’s originally cold expression turned slightly pale…

It would be a lie to say that her heart did not waver…

These were all disciples of her own sect…

Some of them had even cried and begged her eldest senior sister to spare their lives before they died…

Some of them were only 17 or 18 years old, at the prime of their lives…

Ye Lingxuan held her sword and stood there in a daze…

In the end, she was still a kind and soft-hearted person.

If no one were to enlighten her and guide her through today’s massacre, it would definitely form a demon in her heart and negatively affect her cultivation.

Right at this moment, a warm current could be felt from Ye Lingxuan’s back…

‘This was…’

Sensing this aura, Ye Lingxuan raised her head. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Master Lingkong’s voice from behind her.

“Calm your heart and let yourself go…

“Lingxuan, you’ve been bewitched…”

Master Lingkong’s voice was ethereal and long. When it flowed into Ye Lingxuan’s ears, it gradually dispelled the chaotic thoughts in her heart.

“If you let them go today, they won’t be grateful to you. They’ll only replace you weak and easily bullied.

“You’re the sect’s eldest senior sister, the spokesperson of the Green Dragon Sect.

“You can’t be as soft-hearted as before.

“You should know that compassion won’t rule the army.

“Those who are merciful to their enemies are cruel to themselves.

“Imagine if you didn’t show up today, the remaining hundreds of disciples of the sect would have been killed by these 84 traitors.

“At that time, would you resent yourself for not attacking earlier?”

Master Lingkong’s words traveled into Ye Lingxuan’s mind.

When Ye Lingxuan heard her Grandmaster’s words, she fell silent again.

She naturally agreed with Master Lingkon’s words.

However, what surprised her was that it was her Grandmaster who said these words to her.

‘Didn’t my Grandmaster always teach me to ‘forgive and forget’?

‘Today, why…’

“Grandmaster, but didn’t you tell me before…

“In the past, the sect was peaceful and stable. If some disciples didn’t listen, they would be punished. Now, the sect is facing destruction.

“Today, the sects from the Central Plains are attacking. What if the people from the Southern Plains come tomorrow? What if the people from the Northern Plains come the day after tomorrow?”

“Lingxuan, haven’t you noticed?”

“These Martial Arts Continents… are about to change!

“The spiritual energy has recovered, and countless great sects have appeared.

“What you will face in the future is a world of cruel struggles.

“If you let others off today, tomorrow, you might very well be a dead soul under someone else’s blade…”

Master Lingkong sighed.

Speaking of which, he had understood these principles more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, the spiritual energy had not dried up yet, and countless sects were competing with each other across the entire Eastern Plains.

No matter how strong one’s cultivation base was, there was always a risk of death when going out.

Moreover, ever since the spiritual energy had dried up, the various sects started to go into hiding and no longer contacted each other. The disciples of the various sects had been peacefully developing for nearly a hundred years.

It was these hundred years that allowed the sects to relax their sense of danger and gradually stabilized.

They would have lost even their most basic sense of crisis.

Master Lingkong was no exception.

That was the cause of the sect’s current crisis. The fact that Master Lingkong was easily plotted by Wang Shuang.

Therefore…

The crisis this time had awakened Master Lingkong, he had started to recall the life he had lived a hundred years ago.

This world had always been unstable.

The reason why he had a stable and happy development before was because the sect had been peaceful for too long…

Master Lingkong sighed in his heart.

His sense of crisis told him that from now on, he could not be relaxed.

In addition to that, this round of killing the traitors of the sect in public was the beginning of his sense of crisis awakening!

…

At this moment, after Master Lingkong gave her some advice, Ye Lingxuan also felt as if she had been enlightened and was instantly cleared of her worries

She thought of the many crises that she and Victor had faced in the mystic realm.

The dangers of being ambushed by the other sects.

The dangers of being killed by the Fire Sect Master.

The dangers of being trapped in the fog and nearly dying.

If it weren’t for Victor’s agility and the luck bestowed by God.

They would have died countless times by now.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan tightened the grip of her right hand that was holding a sword.

The mental knot in her heart had been completely cleared at this moment.

‘I did the right thing.

‘This was a society where the strong preyed on the weak.

‘Those traitors of the sect indeed deserved to die!’

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan’s furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

She turned around and looked at the benevolent face of Master Lingkong, nodding her head vigorously.

Then, she refocused her attention on the current predicament.

Victor was fighting the Fire Sect Master with his life on the line.

She had carried out half of the plan they had discussed, and the rest had yet to be carried out.

The task she still had to complete was…

Ye Lingxuan raised her head and looked at the group of cultivators lying in a distant corner.

They were the… disciples of the other three sects!
