Chapter 1385
Lin Daiyu: "How else could she become the female sword immortal who sweeps away all demons!"
Su Xiao: "By the way, I have a question—why is there no room for reconciliation between orthodox and evil factions within Shushan? The younger generation kills each other at the slightest provocation, yet they're still called heroes?"
Su Xiao: "Could it be that ancient heroes differ from modern ones?"
Yue Buqun: "Probably not—at least in my era, the standard for a hero is extremely high; most people in the martial world aren't worthy of the title, they're just fighting for survival."
Hu Yifei: "This ties into the creation context of The Shushan Sword Immortals. When the author wrote it, it was during the Republic era, when Japan invaded… the demons in the novel were likely embodiments of the Japanese aggressors."
Hu Yifei: "As a Chinese person, when the sword immortals in his story encountered these demons, do you think he'd let them hold back? So throughout the entire Shushan tale, Shushan disciples are arrogant and brimming with killing intent, often decapitating foes with flying swords, giving the impression that they're almost evil."
Hu Yifei: "When your homeland is invaded, how could you ask the author to write gentle, tender sword immortals? It's impossible."
Su Xiao: "So that's how it is! Sister Yifei really knows a lot!"
