Conflicting Beliefs

Lie Shang’s flames lifted the sand into the air, hostility that shouldn’t have been there flourishing. He brandished Sky Scorcher Sword and questioned, “Mu Yu, which side are you taking?”

Mu Yu stared at his feet. He didn’t agree with Xiang Nan’s methods, yet didn’t want to impose his opinion on Xiang Nan because he could understand where Xiang Nan was coming from. In the end, Mu Yu explicated, “I want to do what I want to do.”VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

“In that case, I’ll put you in line while I’m at it. Otherwise, I’m going to have to collect your bodies sooner or later.”

Lie Shang, now a Spirit Severing Realm Ninth layer cultivator, trapped Mu Yu in a circle of flames. The black branches around Mu Yu burnt down, but Wood Spirit Sword would spawn green leaves to keep the heat at bay. Mu Yu tapped the ground and teleported out of the fire trap.

“Shifu forbade us from learning formations. Why did you defy him?” Cheng Yan reprimanded.

“I have no choice,” Mu Yu quietly answered, not expecting Cheng Yan and Lie Shang to understand Ku Mu as an individual or how he felt.

“I can’t allow you two to continue to tread down the wrong path,” asserted Cheng Yan. “I am responsible for you now that Shifu can’t keep you two in line.”

Cheng Yan, now also a Spirit Severing Realm Ninth Layer Cultivator, converted the sand on the ground to metal blades.

“I am following Shifu’s will to protect mankind. We can use other strategies to dethrone Third Heaven Palace. I will not allow you to defuse Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation to do so, though! Are you abandoning Shifu’s teachings?”

Since filial piety and justice were both virtues, why was Mu Yu’s decision wrong?

“... If Third Heaven Palace killed Shifu and I could revive him, would you tell me to revive him?”

Lie Shang broke his rhythm for the question he never asked himself hit him out of left field.

“Would you tell me to revive Lan Ling’er if Third Heaven Palace killed her?”

Lie Shang stopped his assault and crunched his fingers.

“Even if you opposed it, I would revive them if it came to it the same way I’m trying to revive Dad.”

Lie Shang extinguished his flame, unable to debate.

Every man was selfish. Every man could preach equality, virtues and morals when he wasn’t the victim. When he was on the receiving end, everything he preached becomes secondary to his desire to resolve his emotional turmoil. Not everyone was as tolerant as Sword Shadow Dust Gale. If one couldn’t be magnanimously selfless, why couldn’t they be an ordinary man who never betrayed his conscience?
