"This is the second thing I want you to do." White Lotus said faintly, "Save that innocent marine."
Her voice seemed to be beside Jiang Wang's ears, but it also seemed to drill into his heart and interrogate his soul. "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to refuse or fulfill your promise? "
Jiang Wang pulled out his sword.
He rushed out of his hiding place. He and his sword formed a vertical line and pierced through the air. He rushed to the front of the man in black in an instant.
The man in black was doing something like this in Qingjiang, so he had to be alert at all times. He made hand gestures and waited.
A water shield appeared in front of him.
Jiang Wang pierced through it with his sword. Purple Qi rushed to the sky.
The man in black had to throw the cloth bag on his shoulder at Jiang Wang in order to protect himself.
If it was in the past, Jiang Wang would not have held back after such a ferocious sword attack.
However, after practicing with Zhao Lang during this period of time, his East-rising Purple Qi was already at ease.
The power of the sword dissipated immediately. Jiang Wang reached out to take the cloth bag. He turned his body several times to disperse the force and guard against his opponent at the same time.
However, the man in black had already taken the opportunity to escape.
He was doing something like this in Qingjiang. If he was caught by the Qingjiang Navy, he would die immediately. No one would be able to save him. Therefore, he did not dare to continue fighting.
Jiang Wang did not chase after him. He cut open the cloth bag with his sword and saw an unconscious and half-naked Bei Nu inside.
She looked like a human beauty, but there were two shells covering her chest.
Jiang Wang immediately took off his outer garment and covered her. He then checked her breath and confirmed that she was still alive. He made hand gestures with one hand and condensed a cloud of water vapor, which covered Bei Nu's face.
Bei Nu woke up slowly. She was shocked to see Jiang Wang. She felt relieved when she touched the clothes covering her body.
"Don't worry," Jiang Wang said gently, "I have chased away the person who kidnapped you. You can return to Qingjiang now."
Bei Nu covered her clothes with her hands. Her eyes looked frightened and worried. She said softly, "My name is Xiao Shuang. May I know my benefactor's name?"
"My name is not important. I just want you to know that not everyone in the human race is bad. Some people will harm you, and some will save you. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Miss, please go back so that your family won't be worried. "
The aquatic creatures were all born with natural meridians of Dao. They were not weak creatures that could be easily killed.
Bei Nu Xiaoshuang took a careful look at Jiang Wang. Then she covered herself with her clothes and turned into a stream of water, leaping into the vast and mighty Qing River.
"Well, the beauty is far away!" White Lotus appeared in front of Jiang Wang and deliberately stretched out her hand in front of his eyes. He didn't care what he was thinking.
Jiang Wang came to his senses and noticed that White Lotus was carrying a man in black.
"What's this?" Jiang Wang frowned.
White Lotus's beautiful eyes looked straight at Jiang Wang. Her eyes were full of smiles. "I have to tell you that the business of kidnapping aquatic creatures is not something that ordinary people can do. You've already shown your face tonight. If you let him escape, the people behind him will find out everything about you in less than a day. By then, not only will you be at their mercy, your brothers, your friends, and your sister … "
She smiled and threw the man in black on the ground. "So, you're now faced with a choice."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wang's sword had already slashed the vital part of the man in black.
"I don't have a choice."
Jiang Wang put his sword back into its scabbard. His expression was stiff. "Isn't this what you want to tell me?"
"No." White Lotus smiled. "What I want to tell you is that behind this man is the Arrest Department, the Zhuang Court, the place you yearn for!"
She was probably so happy that she couldn't hide the joy in her words.
Jiang Wang's face was as still as water.
"I don't believe it," he said.
"Then explain. We've been allies for several hundred years. Why is the Zhuang Court so afraid of the revolt of the aquatic creatures of Clear River? Why is it that when the army of the aquatic creatures of Clear River moved slightly, the city guard of the entire Clear River commandery basically mobilized in full force? Why did they leave behind such a great opening, allowing the tragedy of Xiao Lin town to become reality? "
White Lotus said, "Because they know what they've done too well. They know that once they have evidence, it's extremely likely that the Clear River manor will launch a war regardless of everything! "
Jiang Wang fell silent.
"What does the Zhuang Court look like in your mind? Light? Stalwart? A fatherly figure? "
"Do you really think that before the incident of Xiao Lin town, all the people of the Arrest Department mobilized in full force to hunt down the Heart Devouring Demon?"
"Is a mere Heart Devouring Demon worth mobilizing so many people? The true main force is' protecting 'those vicious beasts … "
Jiang Wang could no longer remain silent. His voice was hoarse. "You're like a demon. You're pulling me into the abyss step by step. "
"Don't accuse me. I'm not pulling you. From Alioth peak to here, it's all a choice you've made, isn't it? "
"You know me very well. You seem to have given me a choice, but you know that I have no choice. "Jiang Wang looked at her." Who are you exactly? What are your intentions? "
"I'm …" White Lotus said sternly as if she wanted to give an answer, but she suddenly smiled frivolously. "Your savior."
"I'm very grateful to you for saving me. But to be honest, I'd rather you hadn't saved me. "Jiang Wang's voice was filled with some pain. This was the pain of his beliefs collapsing. He was destroying the system of values he had established in the past and giving birth to a new one.
This process was very torturous.
"Then who's going to take care of your sister?"
"My brothers will definitely take good care of her."
"You're far too naive! No one can definitely take care of anyone in this world. Even you might not necessarily be able to do it, let alone those sworn brothers of yours. Have you forgotten how Fang Pengju died? "
Jiang Wang said in a low voice, "You're too sinister!"
"Heh." White Lotus snorted softly. "I'm just not naive."
"My business is done. I'm leaving first." Jiang Wang didn't want to say more. In terms of words, he had never gained an advantage over White Lotus.
"Before you go, you might as well think about another question." White Lotus said from behind him, "If sacrificing those people in Little Forest Town is to save more common people living in this kind of environment. To save them from the lamentable situation of being 'food' for vicious beasts. In that case, are they still evil? "
White Lotus looked at his back and also waited for his mood, looking forward to whether or not he would change. "Or perhaps it's another kind of justice?"
Jiang Wang halted his steps and suddenly turned around! He forcefully pressed down on his sword, his long hair flying!
"Those damned bastards! No matter what reason they use, no matter what excuse they use, they have nothing to do with the word 'justice'! White Lotus, I owe you my life. But if you're in cahoots with them, take this life back! "
The sound of the wind and the moonlight were both silent for a moment.
White Lotus stared blankly, then suddenly laughed tenderly. "What are you talking about? They're in cahoots with you. "
"Some things can't be joked about, White Lotus," Jiang Wang said very seriously.
"I know, I know." White Lotus nodded perfunctorily. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly slapped at Jiang Wang. The gentle energy pushed Jiang Wang about a hundred feet away in the air.
"Don't look back. Go! "
Jiang Wang was in the air, not daring to look back.
This was because he had already sensed the arrival of that terrifying pressure, like the collapse of a mountain and the pouring of a flood.
But even if he ran with his back facing the direction, he could still see the instant eruption of a brilliant white light behind him.
That light was incomparably violent and dazzling.
In that instant, it almost annihilated all hearing and covered all vision.
Even if his back was facing the direction, even if he could only see the light from the corner of his eye.
It was already so scorching that his eyes stung, and tears flowed incessantly.
