Chapter 65: Pray

Yao Chen deeply felt the confusion in Xiao Yans heart , but remained silent, not uttering a single word.

Since the moment Xiao Yan decided to go out for training, Yao Chen knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Xiao Yan would deeply understand that the true difficulty of pursuing the righteous path does not lie within himself, but in others.

There would always be some people who cannot be reasoned with, and resorting to violence only resolves the individuals causing problems, but not the problems themselves.

Xiao Yan stared lifelessly at the three headless corpses on the ground before turning his head and gazing calmly at the woman and the coachman on the carriage.

The woman remained unaffected by Xiao Yans gaze, while the coachman displayed a face full of fear, his body involuntarily shrinking.

He was just an ordinary commoner who had never witnessed such a bloody and cruel scene. Even though the person who met such a fate was a bandit who had robbed him, the coachman couldnt help but feel a sense of disgust towards Xiao Yan deep in his heart.

It was not directed at Xiao Yan as a person but rather an instinctual fear of Xiao Yans actions.

As he looked at the terrified coachman, Xiao Yans eyes regained a glimmer of light. He lowered his head in a daze, staring at the Heavy Black Ruler embedded in the ground, soaked in blood. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and gradually, his clearing mind began to silently reflect within his heart.

Is the righteous path that makes the weak fearful still considered righteous?

Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, looking at the fear in the coachmans eyes, and his inner thoughts became serious.

Why is he afraid?

Is it because I have been too cruel?

Xiao Yan speculated in his heart, but felt that something was amiss.

If it was because his methods were too brutal, then it should only elicit a sense of disgust.

After all, the three people he had killed were robbers who intended to take his money, and they might have even taken his life. The coachman should feel at least relieved, if not satisfied, with the outcome of those individuals meeting such a fate.

But why is he afraid of me?

Xiao Yan pondered for a long time but couldnt come to a conclusion.

In the end, he took a step forward and slowly spoke while looking at the coachman.

May I ask

Dont kill me!!!

Before Xiao Yan could finish his sentence, the coachman anxiously covered his head and curled up, begging Xiao Yan for mercy.

In that instant, Xiao Yans mind was struck by thunder, and he suddenly understood.

So, its like this

The coachmans fear was not directed at Xiao Yan as a person but rather the power he possessed.

The power to instantly kill three robbers who had oppressed him was something the coachman himself could never hope to resist.

If that was the case, there was only one possibility.

This womans strength far surpassed his own!

(You got it right~~~) Yao Chens voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yans mind. (Based on our initial assessment, this woman should be a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level).)

Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level)?!!

Xiao Yan was taken aback. Although he knew that there were several Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level)s in the Jia Ma Empire, it was his first time actually seeing one!

Wait a minute

Suddenly, Xiao Yan remembered something and looked at the three graves with a sense of compassion.

They were robbed by a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) and ended up dead. Its not unjust for the three of you to die

Quickly, Xiao Yan calmed down his shock and looked at the woman, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

Why did you come back? What about the coachman?

I was simply curious about you, about everything. As for the coachman, I let him go ahead, the woman answered softly, then asked, Answer my question. Why do such unnecessary things?

Upon hearing the womans question, Xiao Yan fell silent for a while before speaking calmly.

Its nothing. I just couldnt bear to leave them exposed in the wilderness.

Huh???

Xiao Yans words left the woman full of question marks on her face.

Who made them exposed in the wilderness? Their heads were blasted away!

Although even without Xiao Yan, the woman would have killed these three bandits, she still felt that Xiao Yan, as the perpetrator, saying couldnt bear it was somewhat hypocritical.

They were killed by you, the woman reminded him, to which Xiao Yan responded calmly.

Yes, I killed them, I wont deny that fact. I would do the same if given another chance, Xiao Yan paused, then continued, But what I said about not being able to bear it is also true. After death, apart from their bodies, they have nothing left. Regardless of whether they were good or evil, their bodies are the evidence of their existence, proof that they have had a journey in this world. If it can be preserved, then lets preserve it as much as possible. Even if nobody remembers, I only hope that in their next life, they can be remembered as someone worth remembering.

Listening to Xiao Yans words, the woman fell silent.

She had never heard such a viewpoint before.

It seemed that this young man not only differed greatly from ordinary people in terms of strength but also in his thinking.

At this moment, the womans curiosity about Xiao Yan grew even stronger.

Then, the woman removed her cloak, revealing her stunning beauty, and said, Im Yun Zhi. Whats your name?

Looking at the womans exquisite appearance, Xiao Yan, who had already been tempered by Yao Chens peerless beauty, remained unfazed and answered slowly, I am Xiao Yan.
