155 In This World, Light Will Definitely Be Redefined
The light in a woman’s eyes was the power and belief that could punish evil.
Light, as its name suggested, would bring light, fairness, justice, and redemption to the world.
Killing the people of the evil sects who cultivated evil arts was equivalent to eliminating evil.
This was what she had been instilled with since she was young.
However, she had never seen such a scene with her own eyes.
In the past, her mission was to fight against the strong because she was powerful.
This was the first time she had seen such a scene.
“Is she dead? If she’s not dead, I’ll stab her again.”
Then, a soldier raised his spear and stabbed the woman in the back again.
“Stop!”
The woman shouted and rushed over to grab the spear in his hand.
“She’s already dead. Why are you still so cruel?!” she said with a frown.
“Lady Yue, they’re a group of evil beasts. We have to be careful. We can’t let a single one of them live. No matter what we do to them, it won’t be a problem,” the soldier said.
The woman pointed at the boy’s body and said angrily, “Is he also one?”
The soldier said respectfully, “This boy is a remnant of the evil sect. If we let him go, he might also cultivate evil techniques. Secondly, he’ll hate us. To cut the grass, we must eliminate the roots. We must kill him. Lady Yue, if we don’t kill him, there’ll be many people like him in the world. They’ll become a very difficult enemy for us in the future.”
This was his ideal because he had been doing this all these years. Everyone had been doing this.
The woman fell silent.
At this moment, the old woman walked over.
“He’s right.”
“Master, I understand.”
Her eyes were fixed on the two corpses.
After that, she found an excuse to leave the massacre.
She wore a veil and went to the battlefields of the various evil sects alone.
What she saw was completely different from what she had imagined.
The light in her heart had completely changed.
Killing the evil faction was something she had to do in her life because she represented the light.
However, why were those innocent children and the elderly implicated?
It was clearly just one of their family members who had cultivated evil techniques, so why did they have to kill entire families?
Just because their family members might also cultivate evil techniques in the future? Was it because they were worried that these people would become their enemies in the future and seek revenge? Just because they were not sure if these people would cultivate evil techniques?
They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go?
Her faith had collapsed.
“Ming…”
She stood outside a village and muttered to herself.
In front of her was a cloud of smoke.
This village was the stronghold of a branch of an evil sect.
There were a large number of people from the evil sects hiding here. Now, one of the sects had sent people here to destroy the village.
Wails and cries rang out incessantly.
“What exactly am I guarding…”
In front, a few children were crying and shouting as they ran out of the village under the protection of the adults.
A spear pierced through an adult’s chest.
“Hurry… Run…”
A woman extended her hand to the two children in front of her and shouted with all her might.
“Quickly run! Hurry up!”
The man hugged a soldier’s leg.
“Hurry up and run!” the man shouted.
“You’re looking for death.”
The soldier sneered and stabbed the spear into the man’s back.
“Still not letting go?”
He attacked again and again, and every time he pulled the spear out, it was accompanied by blood and flesh.
“Dad… Mom…” the two children cried.
“Hurry… Run…”
The man’s mouth was filled with blood, and he fell down.
Jiang Yue’er witnessed the entire scene.
She stood there in a daze.
The two children ran away from her while crying.
The two soldiers gave chase.
Obviously, they could not escape.
Jiang Yue’er stood there without moving.
“I’m not defending it. I’m not…” she muttered to herself.
It was not until two soldiers ran to her side that she made her move…
Bang, bang!
She sent them flying with two palm strikes. Then, she turned around and left with the two children.
…
“Ming…”
Jiang Yue’er arrived at a dark place.
Lin Ming walked out.
“Who are they?”
Lin Ming looked at the two children.
“I don’t dare to hand the people I saved over to Master and the others. I could only bring them to you.”
She had just gone to find her master alone to discuss this matter, but she was firmly rejected.
From that moment on, she completely understood that this was not what she wanted.
Lin Ming walked over and gently patted the two frightened children’s heads before turning to Jiang Yue’er.
“Do you still want to keep your so-called light?” Lin Ming asked.
“I want it!” Jiang Yue’er’s expression changed. “But I want to hold on to the light I want.”
“Join me.” Lin Ming extended his hand.
“No, you defend chaos and darkness. We’re different. I’ll still destroy your defense.”
Jiang Yue’er turned around and was about to leave.
“I’ll leave them in your care. I’m leaving.”
Lin Ming looked at her back view.
“I love you,” Lin Ming said softly.
“The one I love is the old you…”
Jiang Yue’er left.
Three years later.
Sacred Heart Sect.
Jiang Yue’er was tied to a pillar and surrounded by countless powerhouses.
“Jiang Yue’er, do you admit your mistake?”
An old man glared at Jiang Yue’er and rebuked her.
Jiang Yue’er raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.
“What wrong did I do?”
“You bastard! You betrayed the light, colluded with the evil faction, interfered with our actions in the dark, set up an organization, and secretly informed the evil people of the evil faction and helped them escape. What wrong did you do? You deserve to die!”
Jiang Yue’er smiled.
“All the people I’ve helped are innocent. They burn their lives to cultivate just to become martial artists and to become stronger. They’re completely different from the true evil sects, so what did they do wrong? It’s all of you and me who are at fault, not Lin Ya! Lin Ya is the savior of the continent. She’s the one who holds fast to the light!”
“You, you! Men, carry out the execution!”
At this moment, the old woman made her way over to Jiang Yue’er.
“Yue’er, if you admit your mistake and come back, I can spare you from death.”
“Master…”
Jiang Yue’er looked at the old woman and muttered, “I’m sorry to have disappointed you.”
“Sigh, my disciple, why are you so stubborn?”
Jiang Yue’er cracked a smile.
“To die for my beliefs, I can die with no regrets. I lived the first half of my life wrong. Before my death, I truly worked for the light I believe in. It can be considered as making up for it.
“Master, that was never the light I wanted.”
“Yue’er, as long as the evil techniques aren’t eliminated, the world will eventually turn dark.”
“Some evil techniques are evil techniques, and some are not! What Lin Ya created was a divine skill that could give ordinary people the opportunity to cultivate! It doesn’t steal, it doesn’t rob, it doesn’t kill, it doesn’t commit evil, so why is it an evil art?” Jiang Yue’er said.
“Good, good! You’re still so stubborn, huh? Men, light a fire!” the old man said angrily.
The torch lit up the pile of crystals beside Jiang Yue’er, and a raging fire began to burn.
Jiang Yue’er was still smiling. She looked at the old woman and said, “Master, Lin Ming is right. The light now is only conquering. Every massacre is done in the name of peace and light… Although I don’t approve of his actions…
“I believe that the light of this world will be redefined!”
The fire swallowed her.
After a few minutes…
A blood-covered figure carrying a sword walked over.
“Lin Ming, how dare you come to Sacred Heart Sect!?”
Everyone looked at him.
“Where’s Yue’er?” Lin Ming asked coldly.
He followed the crowd and looked at the flames in front of him… His eyes narrowed.
“You guys… You guys…”
He clenched the sword in his hand.
“I want you all to die! Argh!”
