Bu Liqing's mocking words spread far and wide. The already distant Wuzhuo City was filled with hatred, and he nearly couldn't help but turn back for a decisive battle. However, he ultimately forced himself to hold back, soaring through the air and crushing every mountain, tree, house, person, and beast along the way to dust…
Bu Liqing watched as Wuzhuo City left, giving a cold snort. "Heir of the Morning Breeze, so what? If you dare to harm old Ning, I will ensure that you have no place to bury your body three days from now. If Morning Breeze and Liuyun feel sorrow and come to look for me, let them come. Just because you hold the banner of your ancestors, do you really think others won’t dare to touch you? Hmph, invincible? I was also called invincible three days ago…”
He turned his head to see that the others seemed to still be talking, so Bu Liqing didn’t disturb them. He sat down grumbling.
His brow furrowed: Could old Ning really be in trouble?
……
On the other side,
Law Sovereign walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, while Yue Lingxue followed casually. The two looked like close friends who had nothing to hide from each other, strolling in the snow.
"Brother Yue, today has finally arrived," Law Sovereign stopped and smiled faintly. "Heavenly Repair Jade has been refined."
"Indeed," Yue Lingxue snorted. "I personally witnessed the entire process of refining the Heavenly Repair Jade."
Law Sovereign chuckled, "You have quite the patience; you didn’t destroy the refinement of the Heavenly Repair Jade."
Yue Lingxue shook his head, "If the Heavenly Repair Jade were to be destroyed, Medicine Valley would suffer a backlash, and it would be ruined in an instant. Medicine Valley has saved countless lives over the years; although I wish to destroy it, I cannot do so at the cost of Medicine Valley’s destruction."
Law Sovereign mocked, "So Brother Yue is still a kind-hearted person with the world's welfare in mind?"
Yue Lingxue’s face turned furious, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that as Law Sovereign, you only view the common people as ants?"
Law Sovereign shook his head, "Not at all. It's just that Brother Yue is now aiding the tiger, so I couldn’t help but express my feelings."
"Aiding the tiger?" Yue Lingxue laughed heartily. "Law Sovereign, that statement is extremely strange."
Law Sovereign chuckled, "How has the law of Nine Heavens been for ten thousand years? Over this millennium, although I cannot claim my merits exceed those of my ancestors, I can say that it has kept Nine Heavens stable, allowing the nine great families to balance each other. Law enforcers have acted against evil-doers, promoting goodness, punishing the wicked, and though there are a few black sheep among them, they are promptly dealt with upon discovery. Brother Yue, do you acknowledge this?"
Yue Lingxue nodded, "Indeed, I acknowledge that."
"Nine Heavens has been peaceful for ten thousand years. Although there have been constant small frictions, large wars have never broken out; this is all thanks to the enforcement of laws. Even with the emergence of so many supreme beings now, it is evidence of that. If there had been frequent wars, I fear that among those supreme beings, eight out of ten would have long perished. Do you acknowledge this?"
Yue Lingxue nodded again, "Indeed, you deserve no small credit for this."
Law Sovereign let out a long breath, "But once the Nine Calamity Sword Master ascends, it will surely be a bloody storm, and the nine great families will be leveled to the ground. At that time, the flames of war will rage, and countless lives will be lost. Do you acknowledge this?"
Yue Lingxue replied, "I acknowledge it."
"Since that’s the case, if you still wish to aid the Nine Calamity Sword Master, is that not aiding the tiger?" Law Sovereign said calmly.
"You are distorting my words," Yue Lingxue retorted coldly. "Firstly, the duty of law enforcers over the past hundred thousand years is precisely to assist the Nine Calamity Sword Master, yet you have overturned that. Secondly, if you claim to care about the common people, I could still tolerate it, but speak honestly to your conscience, do you truly care?"
