He betrayed his brothers, always with the intention of using them, and now he dares to say that it was the wealth and glory that turned the hearts of his brothers…
This is simply the height of shamelessness!
Bu Liqing listened and was so furious that he started breathing heavily, even rolling his eyes.
In the eyes of a person like him, who values loyalty and righteousness, such behavior is simply the most detestable thing in the world!
Law Sovereign sneered and said, “Back then, I too laughed coldly; the brothers all laughed coldly together; because apart from laughing coldly, we didn’t know what else we could do, we didn’t even have the strength to curse him!”
“The boss said: Brothers, do you understand? The Nine Calamity Sword Master has both a mission and a punishment. If I fail to fulfill the heavenly restoration for you, my whole family will suffer divine retribution! Can you bear to watch me die?”
Law Sovereign continued indifferently, “When he said this, we all spat.”
“Pah!” Bu Liqing also spat.
“At that time, Second Brother said: We risked our lives for you back then, and we did it willingly. Now, it’s not the same! Boss, you were wrong. We brothers are willing to die for you, not for anything else, but for our brotherhood.”
“You don’t need to say anything. Just gather us together and say that you now know of a new mission: the Nine Calamity Heavenly Restoration. If you cannot complete it, your whole family will die. Just say this one sentence, even if it’s a lie, I will immediately arrange for my aftermath, and for my big brother, I would give my spirit!”
“Second Brother said back then: I’m not stingy, nor am I afraid of death. I have already decided on you as my big brother for so long. It’s normal for the big brother to need the brothers to sacrifice their lives when he’s in trouble.”
“But you shouldn’t have deceived us first, then used us, and in the end, forced us! Second Brother said at that time: If you say it like this, the brothers will willingly sacrifice for you, wouldn’t that be good? Boss, you’ve made a misstep. Now that things have come to this point, I cannot obey.”
“Well said!” Bu Liqing clapped and praised, “Your Second Brother is truly a person of character!”
Law Sovereign showed a hint of pride, saying, “Of course! Second Brother is exceptionally heroic!”
“And what did your big brother say?” Bu Liqing asked.
“The boss said… I have considered this, and I believe that the brothers will willingly die for me. But, on one hand, I am somewhat worried. After all, you are now all feudal lords, holding high positions, and your mindset is bound to change. Once one of you becomes disobedient and incites others, I’m afraid I’ll expose myself. If the mission isn’t completed, I would be annihilated.”
“So it’s better to control you first. If you have no power to resist, isn’t that more secure?”
“At that time, my Second Brother said: But even if you control us, you can directly use us for the heavenly restoration. Why must you say this before we die? Second Brother was very pained at that time, saying: We could have died in ignorance, but knowing this, do you have any idea how much it hurts us? Why would you do this?”
Law Sovereign paused here.
Bu Liqing was puzzled, saying, “Right, since he has the final say in everything, why not just kill you directly? Why must he torment you before death, especially to his brothers of many years? How could he bear to do such a thing? What is the intention here?”
Law Sovereign shook his head and smiled faintly, saying, “I knew that you, Old Bu, would never guess the reason. Hehe. At that time, apart from the Fifth Melancholy, none of us could guess. I still remember, after Second Brother asked the question, Fifth Melancholy sighed and said nothing.”
“So, what exactly was the reason?” Bu Liqing frowned and asked. He truly could not understand, feeling that this matter made no sense at all.
“At that time, the boss said, this is precisely the second reason I’m telling you. After all these years as brothers, if I were to kill you like this, my conscience would be guilty, making it easy for me to fall into the inner demon; even if I reached the Pure Land, I wouldn’t be happy. So I must tell you everything before you die.”
