646 Hypocrisy 2

Chang Pu appeared to have thought of something and turned to look at Ji Fengyan.

"If I recall correctly, there were rumors that an ancient dragon appeared during the capital institute battle?"

Chang Pu's words startled Ji Fengyan.

"A second ancient dragon, haha… your Emperor must be extremely happy?"

Ji Fengyan stared at Chang Pu. It was true that an ancient dragon had joined the battle at the capital institute. However, Grand Tutor Xing Lou had instructed all soldiers and students involved in that battle to keep the existence of that dragon a secret. They were not to reveal anything to anyone.

Hence, although the Emperor knew how the battle at the capital institute went down, they kept the appearance of the ancient dragon from him under the orders of Grand Tutor Xing Lou. To this day, only those who had been personally present at the battle knew of the dragon's existence.

Fearing the appearance of the dragon would cause chaos, Ji Fengyan had kept him hidden whenever she went back to the capital city or when she was at Moonset Valley.

Ji Fengyan never felt so thankful for her initial decision and consequently felt a sliver of gratitude towards Xing Lou for prompting it.

At first, she had thought Xing Lou was afraid that the appearance of the ancient dragon would cause an unnecessary disturbance among the people. Now that she thought of it… he had been consciously protecting that ancient dragon.

Ji Fengyan still held some doubts about Chang Pu's words, but she was very clear on one point.

It was undeniable the human nature had a dark side.

During her past life, she had already witnessed many shady and twisted means to augment one's own potential. Wantonly colluding with demons, cultivating the essence of demon bones and blood—all just to enhance one's own power.

"Human beings… they aspire to greater power but are afraid of that same power. They are contradictory creatures. And it is under such a contradicting dilemma which gave rise to something even more horrifying…" Chang Pu's amusement deepened as he looked at Ji Fengyan.

"Ji Fengyan, don't you think that as human beings, Terminators are overly powerful?"

Ji Fengyan's expression shifted. She finally realized why Chang Pu had suddenly changed his attitude and was willing to reveal the story behind the ancient dragon. He was trying to raise Ji Fengyan's suspicions about the nature of humans.

After all…

Ji Fengyan was a Terminator. By normal human standards, the power of Terminators was beyond doubt. With that World-Termination-Armour, hadn't that power far surpassed the might of a normal human being?

"Have you ever wondered why the lifespans of Terminators are so short?" Chang Pu asked in an enticing tone. He was slowly seducing Ji Fengyan into his trap.

Ji Fengyan glanced at Chang Pu before suddenly raising her hand and giving a vicious tug at her Demon Binding Rope!

A fierce pain shot through Chang Pu's entire body. His evil smirk was totally wiped off his face as he turned white in agony.

"Save your demonic guiles for someone else, it's useless on me." Ji Fengyan stared coldly at Chang Pu. One must never completely believe in a demons' words. Once bewitched by a demon, you would end up as their pet dog, like Song Yuan.

"You demons have no right to judge humans, regardless of how we behave. The number of innocents who have died in your hands far exceed those caused by the internal strife of humans." Ji Fengyan's eyes shone exceptionally bright.
