Chapter 384: Kill Until I Die

"The Abbot and the elders actually agreed just like that...?"

"Didn't Elder Dan Xunzi say that this move is not a compromise or concession, nor is it forgetting hatred, but for the sake of the human race, it is the great righteousness of our Pill Sect."

"But they agreed too readily. The Abbot Master didn't even speak the whole time."

Behind the Tianji Hall of the Pill Sect, in the nine-turn corridor of the Longfeng Forest.

A group of Pill Sect disciples who had returned from the Abbot's bedroom were gathered here, discussing the Abbot's prompt acceptance of the Five Great Immortal Sects' entrustment.

Their confusion was not because the Abbot would agree, but because the Abbot agreed so readily.

Honestly, they thought the Pill Sect would definitely make those Immortal Sect disciples kneel before the Martyrdom Monument to admit their guilt before considering agreeing to the matter of the Sage Land.

In fact, the reason why the Five Great Immortal Sects sent such a number of disciples must have been because they had the idea of calming the Pill Sect's anger. They didn't expect the Abbot not to have put forward any conditions.

Even, the Abbot in the entire bedroom discussion didn't speak, and all the decisions were read out by Elder Dan Xunzi.

All these things made the disciples in the corridor discuss endlessly.

At the same time, Ji You, who had left the Abbot's bedroom, was sitting in a tea pavilion on the North Mountain of the Pill Sect, looking out at the lush mountains and forests.

This was the mountain peak where he fought with Chen Ke, an elder of the Chen family, more than a year ago. There were still huge gullies cut out by sword energy on the outward slope, but they had been reinforced with ropes and had not been filled in.

In fact, he was also a bit surprised by the Pill Sect's positive feedback.

Because he was also prepared for the Pill Sect to need the Five Great Immortal Sects' disciples to plead guilty, and the Five Great Immortal Sects' disciples not to comply, thus causing a small-scale conflict.

Who knew everything would be so smooth? Everything was decided in just a half-hour bedroom discussion.

However, although surprised, he didn't think the Pill Sect did anything wrong.

Because the Five Great Immortal Sects couldn't continue to make concessions, let alone the Pill Sect still didn't have the ability to protect itself, and also needed to worry about whether the Immortal Sect would turn against them after the Sage Land was repaired.

However, even if no more conditions were put forward, it wouldn't be excessive to leave everyone hanging for a few days.

Getting a response the next day was something he hadn't expected.

Danyangzi once said that the Pill Sect is a sect that will remember pain, and such a reaction clearly didn't fit their temperament.

And just as Ji You was pondering, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the mountain road below.

Ji You turned his head to look, and after seeing who it was, he stood up from the table.

"The matter of the Sage Land has been discussed by me and the elders in the sect for many days. Please forgive me for not visiting you immediately."

"Abbot, you are too polite. After the Five Great Immortal Sects surrounded Danshan, the Pill Sect's willingness to open the mountain gate again is already giving Ji You enough face."

Ji You responded, and then saw Patriarch Yuan Li walking up the mountain and arriving at the tea pavilion.

The Pill Sect's medicine pool has the effect of slowing down human aging, so Patriarch Yuan Li doesn't look old from his figure, but from his demeanor, one can see the frost of time.

According to rumors, this Pill Sect Abbot has worked hard for the Pill Sect all his life and only had Yuan Caiwei and Yuanchen very late.

Perhaps it is because of this that the generation gap between Patriarch Yuan Li and Yuanchen is so deep, so much so that his cheap brother-in-law always wants to run down the mountain and is full of rejection for the life his father arranged.

Patriarch Yuan Li sat down in the tea pavilion at this time, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Elder Dan received Young Master Ji yesterday and returned to the palace to report to me. It is said that Young Master Ji has made great contributions to the human race's disaster, and can even be considered a benefactor of the Immortal Sect."

"Forget about the title of benefactor of the Immortal Sect. It's a bit uncomfortable."

"It seems that Young Master really has some criticisms of the Immortal Sect."

Ji You didn't know Patriarch Yuan Li's purpose for coming, but he felt that he had a strong desire to confide, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Too much combat power will make this world extremely unbalanced and difficult to develop. The sages of a thousand years ago existed to establish life for the human race, but the Immortal Sect is a product that shouldn't have appeared."

Patriarch Yuan Li couldn't help but speak after hearing this: "Then has Young Master ever heard of the Chu family's affairs?"

"Chu family?"

"About the old past of the Chu family's Seven Orifices Exquisite Body causing the Immortal Sect's covetousness."

Ji You realized that he was talking about this, so he nodded: "I've heard of it. I even heard a wild history that the Chu family ancestor who was dissected as a test subject was live-dissected."

Patriarch Yuan Li was slightly surprised, not expecting him to even know about the live dissection.

You must know that that was a very, very long time ago, and the world's living beings don't know how many generations have changed.

And Youzhou is under the control of the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion. Few people dare to mention this matter, and even the Chu family's clan records dare not write this matter too clearly. Only those who have experienced that matter and those who are close to the Chu family will know the truth.

However, knowing that Ji You knew about the Chu family ancestor being live-dissected, he became even more curious about Ji You's sword strike.

"Since Young Master knows about this, did you hesitate when you struck your sword in the Heavenly Dao Altar?"

"Why hesitate?"

"Because the Chu family was also for revenge, and also to wash away hundreds of years of humiliation."

"That's not revenge."

"?"

Ji You picked up the teacup: "If the Chu family's actions can also be considered revenge, then their revenge is avenged, but who should those who were harmed to death by them seek revenge from?"

Patriarch Yuan Li was silent for a long time after hearing this: "Is Young Master also of the school of 'when will the cycle of retribution end'?"

"No, I am of the school of 'an eye for an eye', but the revenge I think of should be upright, and should not be piled up with the lives of unrelated people. In the name of slaying dragons, doing the deeds of becoming dragons."

"Then if Young Master Ji were in the Chu family's situation, what would you do?"

Ji You looked up at Patriarch Yuan Li: "If I can't kill the Abbot, I'll kill the direct disciple. If I can't kill the direct disciple, I'll kill the elder. If I can't kill the elder, I'll kill their descendants."

Patriarch Yuan Li pinched the teacup: "But the holy artifact suppresses Qingshan, such revenge will eventually lead to death."

"Then my revenge is to kill until I die."

Patriarch Yuan Li's eyes trembled instantly after hearing Ji You finish speaking, and then he fell into astonishment and silence.

In fact, since last night, he had been pondering whether the Chu family could be considered revenge.

This matter is very important to him, because if it is considered revenge, he will feel that the killing karma on his body will not be so heavy.

But until this moment, he realized that what the Chu family did was not revenge.

Because revenge should only have two results: he dies, or you die, and there should not be taking the place of others, and there should not be countless wronged souls who sacrificed for this.

Then, this Pill Sect Abbot began to understand his father.

His father helped the Chu family establish a family in secret back then because the weak should pity the same weak, and should not use the name of revenge to wantonly deprive the lives of the even weaker.

"On the matter of the human race's disaster, Abbot Yuan's emotions seem to be more in favor of the Chu family?"

"It is because the Pill Sect also experienced dark turmoil back then, so when I think of the Chu family's past, I have a kind of empathy and sorrow."

Patriarch Yuan Li felt that Ji You seemed to have noticed something. After explaining, he changed the subject: "Did Young Master Ji rest well on Danshan yesterday?"

*Cough cough*, Ji You choked on the tea.

He didn't expect Patriarch Yuan Li's topic to change so quickly, nor did he expect him to ask this.

This is actually a very ordinary greeting, often appearing in conversations between hosts and guests, and can also be regarded as a signal to end the previous topic, without too much practical significance.

But the problem is that Ji You stayed in someone's daughter's boudoir yesterday and fiercely made the daughter moan all night. Being asked this suddenly is too scary, and it makes him feel unable to answer.

Patriarch Yuan Li also thought of the disciple's report yesterday that Ji You didn't rest in the backyard of the Yuheng Hall. His eyes trembled, and his face turned a bit dark.

However, he quickly restrained his expression and then said to Ji You: "I think Young Master Ji will definitely not let Caiwei fall into danger in the future."

"Naturally not."

"Then please also look at Caiwei's sake and protect Yuanchen."

"Yuanchen has called me brother-in-law for five years, I will definitely not let anything happen to him."

Ji You nodded and agreed, but his brow couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, feeling that Patriarch Yuan Li's words seemed to have a slight meaning of entrusting an orphan, but he couldn't distinguish whether it was his own illusion.

In fact, what Patriarch Yuan Li is still worried about is participating in the millennium clans' collusion to cause disaster.

Because he still doesn't know who captured his daughter, led his son down the mountain, and doesn't know where the person who came to the Pill Sect with Chu Xiong is now.

There is no wall that doesn't leak in this world, and there are still people who know about this matter hiding in the world. It is natural for him to worry about exposure. The meaning of entrusting an orphan in that sentence just now comes from this.

In fact, as early as when Ji You killed five Boundless Realm experts on Danshan, Patriarch Yuan Li knew that his daughter and son had someone to rely on, not to mention that he forcibly tore open the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice and killed Chu Xian, the former holy son of Profound Origin, in the evil spirit.

After drinking the tea, Patriarch Yuan Li got up from the tea pavilion.

The opening of the Sage Land is not something one person can do, and repairing the cracked Sage Land is even more difficult.

So he has to mobilize troops and generals, strive to set off as soon as possible, and let the end of the millennium clans' collusion to cause disaster subside as soon as possible.

Watching Patriarch Yuan Li go away, Ji You poured the tea into the ditch, then put away the tea set and went down the mountain.

He went to Danshan this time, besides asking the Pill Sect to repair the Sage Land, he had another purpose, which was to use the Pill Sect's medicine pool to break through the barrier.

With the continuous improvement of his physical realm, the amount of spiritual energy he needs is getting larger and larger, and ordinary places can no longer satisfy him. ===== CHAPTER 385 =====
