Chapter 631

Venti nodded repeatedly, looking approving:

"Right! If anyone goes, it should be me!"

Jiang Yan glanced at Venti and said softly:

"Peak Master Zhongli has already broken through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, Elder Alice is also on the verge of breaking through, and finally, only you, Peak Master Venti, are left."

"You should also put more effort into cultivation; otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate to let Peak Master Ei get ahead."

"What's more, after the Nine Nether Secret Realm ends, you will follow me to the Xuanming world; I hope you can break through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit in the Xuanming world."

"The Honkai world's affairs don't need to trouble you."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Venti touched his head sheepishly.

"Hehe! Just kidding! I'm also working hard; after the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference ends, I should be able to break through."

"I hope so."

Jiang Yan said noncommittally, looking at Neuvillette.

"I will tell you about the people in the Honkai world who need attention before you leave."

Neuvillette nodded and said softly:

"Sect Master, do you need me to specifically look for some geniuses to bring back?"

"Leave this matter to Himeko."

Jiang Yan looked at Himeko and said lightly:

"As a human native to the Honkai world, Himeko should know better who is a genius."

Himeko nodded heavily; she would bring back those who were famous among the people who appeared on the screen just now.

Even the worst would be seedlings for inner disciples.

As for the good ones like Kiana and the others, Himeko had to wonder if they had divine bodies.

There were simply too many geniuses in the Honkai world.

However, Himeko still hesitated and said:

"Sect Master, what about Otto..."

"You want to ask how to deal with Otto, right?"

Jiang Yan asked calmly, and Himeko nodded.

"What Otto has done, Sect Master, you have also seen; although in terms of love, he is a guy worth praising, but it cannot be denied..."

"He is also a paranoid lunatic."

This statement was deeply acknowledged by everyone.

Jean frowned slightly and said softly:

"Human experiments, disregarding life, condoning evil... from these perspectives, this guy already meets Shushan's standards for subduing demons and eliminating devils."

Before Jiang Yan could answer, Rosalyne on the side said seriously:

"But, he also blocked the Honkai for five hundred years and saved countless lives, didn't he?"

377. Otto is likely a genius, remember to bring him back

Jean looked at Rosalyne and said softly:

"What does Senior Sister Rosalyne mean?"

Rosalyne shook her head and said helplessly:

"Junior Sister Jean, Otto, in my opinion, cannot be considered heinous."

"Admittedly, for some people, they would rather Otto die immediately, but for most people in that world."

"Otto is the hero who let them live; for five hundred years, how many people didn't die because of the Honkai and lived out their lives?"

"This is his achievement; I think Otto is not as sinister and vicious as demonic cultivators, without humanity."

"In his dark soul, there is still a final shining point."

"As the saying goes, judge by actions, not by heart; regardless of whether it was because of Kallen, he ultimately protected countless people."

"You cannot simply define him as a demon because of some mistakes."

As she spoke, Rosalyne looked at Jiang Yan, noticing the flash of satisfaction in his eyes, and immediately became more confident.

"Of course, the most important point is, I think, our Shushan currently lacks strength."

"Otto is unparalleled in strategy, and his brain is excellent enough; this alone is enough to prove that he will be a cultivation genius."

"Such a genius should join Shushan and contribute to Shushan's revival; Sect Master, is that so?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Yan, and the latter nodded slightly, smiling:

"Rosalyne has already acquired a high ability to judge cultivators."

"In fact, it is just as Rosalyne said."

"There is an old saying in the cultivation world: killing one is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is a hero, slaughtering a million is a hero among heroes."

"Although it is cruel, between the interests of the majority and the life and death of a small number, if we cannot have the best of both worlds, Shushan will also choose the interests of the majority without hesitation."

"There is right and evil in the world, but it is by no means black and white; there are righteous cultivators who act recklessly and ruthlessly, and naturally there are demonic cultivators who pity the world and subdue demons and eliminate devils."

"The world has always been a delicate gray."

"Jean, do you understand?"

Jean was silent for a moment, and her whole person seemed to radiate a brand-new style.

She bowed and said:

"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Senior Sister Rosalyne! The disciple understands."

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"Otto, he acts without a bottom line, can be considered sinister, but can also be considered frank."

"He has harmed many people, but he has also protected many people."

"Although he doesn't care about either."

"But he is indeed not a purely evil person."

"Right now, Shushan is in a period of needing people, and Otto is intelligent and will be a good seedling for cultivation."

"If there is a chance, bring him back, but don't rush it."

"Otto is very vigilant, and what's more, Himeko has a grudge against him; if it doesn't work, just bring back the beacon of the Honkai world first."

Neuvillette nodded and kept the name Otto in his heart.

Himeko, however, said with some worry:

"Sect Master, Otto is not a purely evil person, but he will do anything to achieve his goals..."

"If he cultivates, I'm afraid..."

The original Otto could manipulate the world with strategy; if he cultivated...

Wouldn't he just take off?

Jiang Yan smiled silently and shook his head:

"Himeko, I hope you always remember that in the cultivation world, the first rule is that strength is respected."

"Power is the capital that determines everything."

"If you want to control a person, cultivators have too many means: forcibly branding enslavement runes, seizing souls and modifying minds."

"Coercion and inducement are means that cultivators have never disdained to use."

"But Shushan disdains to do such things."

Jiang Yan was somewhat proud.

"Shushan encourages all disciples to have appropriate ambition; even if Otto wants to be the Sect Master after cultivating, as long as he has the ability to defeat me, he can."

"In the world of cultivators, when strength is not equal, there is no right to equal communication."

"And naturally, there is no... right to scheme and be schemed against."

"The strong kill the weak, what does it have to do with the weak?"

Himeko was somewhat melancholy; she was ultimately somewhat one-sided in her thinking.

Otto's strategy is unparalleled, but so what?

In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are children's tricks.

Even if Otto risked his life to plan for a thousand years, Jiang Yan would just watch a joke; if he wanted him to fail, he would just wave his hand.

Just by being about to break through to Refining Void and Combining Dao, in these heavens and myriad worlds, under the Immortal Realm, there are not many people who can scheme against him.

Replacing Otto with the strength of the Evil Sword Immortal would be about the same.
