(PS: 27/69, fourth update!)
Virtually everyone unconsciously gazed at the Northern Ocean Clone.
The Northern Ocean Clone opened his palm, light surging as a figure surfaced.
There was only the figure of a single person.
Shi Jun.
Seeing this scene, many thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.
"Calm your heart," Yan Zhaoge said calmly. Shi Jun was uncharacteristically silent as he nodded soundlessly.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge exchanged glances with Xue Fei, both knowing that Shi Jun had invested his feelings towards Shen Ying over the past few days.
Shi Jun hated evil as his foe, crying out against injustice as he felt pity towards the weak. These were all true.
However, he had a strong personality. If someone had tricked and schemed against him, after he had learnt of the truth, it would only result in an intense backlash.
Like Yan Zhaoge and Xue Fei, Shi Jun was also someone who did not make a move, but when he did, his fists did not care whether his opponent was male or female.
Therefore, Shi Jun did not feel conflicted at all when dealing with someone who had tricked and schemed against him. Whether or not the other party was a woman, whether or not she was acting pitiful, he would not show any mercy.
His rather silent appearance now was because Shen Ying's current position in his heart was not ordinary. She was not just someone whom he had lent a helping hand to in the face of injustice.
In such a situation, discovering the truth of the matter in the end would be even more hurtful, at the same time making him feel even more resentful.
No one knew how Shen Ying had behaved in front of Shi Jun.
She had looked calm and resigned to her death, as if she had finally no longer had to suffer the torment of her heart, even feeling somewhat like she was atoning for her sins?
She had indeed schemed against Shi Jun in the past. However, as the two of them had interacted privately over the past few days, she had also fallen in love with him, gradually unable to bear it?
Looking like she was about to cry, her heart like it had died, not saying a word as she closed her eyes and awaited death?
There were also various other methods …
Yan Zhaoge instantly thought of quite a few. As for those methods of crying bitterly to the heavens and the earth, swearing and swearing in defense of herself, Yan Zhaoge did not consider them at all, also not feeling that Shen Ying would do such a thing given her mental state.
However, whether it was Yan Zhaoge or Xue Fei, neither of them asked Shi Jun about the specifics. Xue Fei only patted his disciple's shoulder lightly.
The surrounding martial practitioners of the other great sects had yet to disperse, all looking at Yan Zhaoge somewhat expectantly, yet also not having too much hope.
The martial practitioners of Water Crystal Palace and the Spirit Returning Sect were all secretly sending sound transmissions to the Changli Mountain martial practitioners, clearly hoping to plead on their behalf.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, the leading Changli Mountain Elder saw that Yan Zhaoge's gaze was gentle as he calmly met his gaze.
This Changli Mountain Elder's heart jolted slightly as he came to some understanding, "He is giving our sect a favor by having Water Crystal Palace and the other sects owe our Changli Mountain a favor."
"Although this person is domineering and arrogant, and his methods are ruthless and cruel, he is not an arrogant and unreasonable person …"
As he pondered, this Changli Mountain Elder bowed solemnly towards Yan Zhaoge, "The forces of Evil are rampant. Now that the Dao is waning and the Devils are on the rise, I hope that Mister Yan can lend a helping hand and help the common people."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "For the sake of the common people, this Yan will naturally act."
Having finally received Yan Zhaoge's declaration, the group of people finally let out a breath of relief.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Rest easy, everyone. The forces of Evil will not be able to overturn the heavens."
Now that he was still saying this, the group of people gradually realised this as well, feeling that Yan Zhaoge had a card up his sleeve.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Let's go."
Saying thus, he led them on their way.
Actually, to Yan Zhaoge, while he seemed to have many enmities with the forces of Good in the Vast Ocean World, he was indeed more inclined towards Good.
This had nothing to do with the difference between Good and Evil in name. Cultivating in certain martial arts was also not directly related to one's moral character.
The forces of Good similarly had despicable people, the forces of Evil similarly had heroes.
However, on the other hand, it was not that those of the forces of Good were all hypocrites. There were also many people of the forces of Evil who were extremely vicious and evil, committing crimes.
The reason why Yan Zhaoge was more inclined towards the forces of Good in general was that in terms of cultivation methods at least, the martial arts of the forces of Evil were more bloody and brutal.
Many martial arts of the forces of Evil required blood as a sacrifice, sacrificing the lives of a great number of ordinary people.
Taking the Vast Ocean World as an example, for the martial arts of Soul Shocking Island to be accomplished, they would have to slaughter a great number of living people, merging their souls into their aura-qi and true essence on the spot.
The Illusory Shadow Demonic Art of the Sacred Evil Sect plundered the life essence of others to cultivate in.
Green Snake Island reared tens of thousands of snakes, feeding on human flesh.
The Evil Shifting Sect cultivated in the Profound Dark Sabre Qi aside, cultivating in the Blood Sea Sabre Qi, as its name suggested, was to obtain the blood of others to refine the sabre. The Dim Shifting White Bone Sabre similarly had to refine the yin qi of human bones.
The Dragon Slayer Sect and the Brilliant Thunder Sect who were more open and aboveboard in their ways had all slaughtered their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Of all the martial arts of the forces of Evil that Yan Zhaoge knew of, not many of them were easy to deal with.
The Six Spirits Demonic Fist, despite being called a demonic fist, was actually already rather grand and gentle. However, the true best method of cultivating in it was to obtain the essence blood of those six types of spirit beasts to temper one's body.
Yan Zhaoge felt that his benevolence and moral integrity were rather limited. Still, he still felt repulsed by most supreme martial arts of the forces of Evil.
Brought along by Yan Zhaoge, the others didn't know where to go for the time being as they could only wait patiently.
Sitting side by side with his disciple, Xue Fei swivelled his head to look at Shi Jun. He saw that Shi Jun's expression was already gradually beginning to return to normal.
It was just that Shi Jun's gaze was somewhat vacant.
Feeling his Master's gaze, Shi Jun swivelled his head to look at Xue Fei, asking softly, "Master, did I do wrong this time? Being made use of by someone, I nearly caused a great disaster. "
Xue Fei shook his head, first saying, "Acting bravely when seeing injustice on the road is always the right thing to do."
"Sometimes, when the situation is urgent, there is no time for us to consider too much, requiring us to act decisively."
Looking at his disciple, he said evenly, "However, it is precisely at times like this that you have to be more careful. Your opponent may have set up a trap, possibly distorting the truth. Sometimes, we may even encounter situations where right and wrong are not so clear."
"The other party's target this time was actually Zhaoge. You have no need to blame yourself for scheming against you."
"Your way of doing things is not wrong. However, you still have to be more careful in the process of doing things."
Shi Jun nodded. "Disciple will remember."
He swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, saying softly, "This time, it was all thanks to little senior apprentice-uncle Yan. I know that it was because he didn't want me to bear the burden of having my reputation tarnished, fearing that I wouldn't be able to get over this, that little senior apprentice-uncle Yan used such a troublesome method to help me clear my name."
Shi Jun smiled. "Otherwise, if it was Uncle-Master himself, I'm afraid he would have just started killing. What's there to argue about?"
Hearing this, Xue Fei could not help but smile.
Now, Yan Zhaoge's group suddenly received a message.
The Chief of Myriad Sword Pool, Yan Gang, reinforced Water Crystal Palace with the Sacred Artifact, the Floating Sinking Sword. The Evil Saint Lin Qiancheng suddenly retreated, his whereabouts unknown. The Chief of Water Crystal Palace, Lin Shi, and the Chief of Myriad Sword Pool, Yan Gang, engaged in a great battle against the Chief of the Dragon Slayer Sect, Zhao Zhong, and the Chief of Soul Shocking Island, Liu Shuo.
The crisis of the Crystal Palace could basically be said to have been resolved.
Hearing his words, everyone was taken aback before they simultaneously looked towards Yan Zhaoge.
"Lin Qiancheng chose the most advantageous path for himself," Yan Zhaoge said.
The Changli Mountain Elder asked hesitantly, "But where will Lin Qiancheng go?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "Right now, we are precisely going to stop him."
