The sky outside was still dark, but Tai Yin was already far away.
The Xiang Family's mansion was like a lurking old beast under the night sky. It didn't make any sound and kept its sharp teeth in.
Traces of time could be seen everywhere. Of course, in a place like Ying City, the Xiang Family's mansion wasn't the most historical.
When Xiang Longxiang, the Duke of Yi, was still alive, the Duke of Yi Family was the core place of the Xiang Family.
After Xiang Longxiang died in battle, he appointed Xiang Bei as the successor of the Xiang Family.
The core power of the Xiang Family was gradually returned to the hands of the family elders, waiting to be handed over to the mature Xiang Bei.
Xiang Bei, who was highly regarded by Xiang Longxiang and lived in the Duke of Yi Family, now moved out and lived in the Xiang Family's mansion.
Of course, he couldn't do something like chase Xiang Longxiang's descendant out of the Duke of Yi Family. However, if he continued to live in the Duke of Yi Family, it would be hard to avoid conflicts …
Xiang Bei could roughly guess the reason why Tai Yin left Chu in such a hurry.
It was because of the internal tension of the Tai Family, and also because of Jiang Wang.
He could protect Tai Yin in Chu territory.
However, he didn't know if he left Chu territory.
Tai Yin's skills were all in formations. In the Mountain Sea Realm, he had used up most of the formation disks he brought with him. Now, in front of Jiang Wang, he didn't have the ability to protect himself.
However …
"If you give him the Essence Soul Pill, what will you do?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room. The voice was old, but it contained the wisdom of time.
However, when he looked around, he didn't see a second person.
Xiang Bei seemed to be used to this voice. He said calmly, "What do you mean?"
"You know what I'm talking about!" The voice seemed to be angry. "You're at a critical moment. The position of the Xiang Family's successor isn't stable. If you can't replenish the 30% of your soul origin, you might be destroyed! "
"Is that so?" Xiang Bei used a white cloth to slowly wipe the halberd. His tone was still calm. "If I'm so easily destroyed, it means I should be destroyed."
The old voice became angrier. "Do you think you're very loyal? What did the art of war teach you? Is this the code of brotherhood? Do you think sacrificing yourself to help others is a virtue? But have you ever thought about the people who sacrificed themselves for you all the way to where you are now? Do you know what you're doing, Xiang Bei? "
Bei Xiang quietly covered the halberd with the velvet cloth and said with a rare calmness, "I knew it before, but I didn't know it later … Now I know it again."
"What … do you mean?" The aged voice was puzzled.
North Xiang said, "No matter what, Tai Yin is here to help me. In the Mountain Sea Realm, my needs are the most important. I must take responsibility for what happened to him. "
The old voice said, "Do you think Tai Yin is a good person? Do you think he doesn't know about your predicament? But you see how easily he takes it, and how easily he goes! I've seen a lot of people like him. Do you think he'll be grateful? He just needs you. He needs your resources. You treat him as a friend, and he treats you as a fat sheep. You're too ridiculous! "
"I know what kind of person Tai Yin is. He's not a perfect friend, but he's not as bad as you say. Besides, I'm only doing what I should do. What does it have to do with his character? "North Xiang said calmly," Also, I don't want to eat this Essence Soul Pill. "
"What do you mean?" The aged voice was even more confused.
North Xiang closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, "Just now, I was sitting here alone. I suddenly realized … If I don't change, I won't be able to defeat Jiang Qingyang for the rest of my life. "
"How is that possible? Why would you think that? You're only fighting for a moment now! "The aged voice said," The path of cultivation is long. Your future has endless possibilities! "
"No, I know. The moment he grabbed the halberd and brought me to charge at Tai Yin, I should have known. I placed my hopes on the future, and I fell into teamwork and sneak attacks … I'll never be his match. "
"Why was I so angry at that moment?"
North Xiang's voice was sorrowful.
"I was angry at myself. Why did I become so unfamiliar?"
"I was angry at myself. I lost the right to fight him head-on."
"You shouldn't think that way," the aged voice said, "North Xiang, there's no constant trend in war, and water is impermanent …"
"Those who can win because of the enemy's changes are called gods. Therefore, there's no constant victory in the five elements, impermanence in the four seasons, life and death in the day, "North Xiang casually continued," I know the art of war, and I also know the logic. But I can't deceive myself like this. "
"I've already admitted defeat in my heart. I don't dare to face him anymore … Why do I have to deceive myself like this?"
"I've been deceiving myself for long enough!"
North Xiang took a deep breath and said slowly, "With the strength of my spirit that far exceeds cultivators of the same realm, I'm invincible. I also know that I can fight for the top in the world.
When I lost to Jiang Wang at the River-Viewing Platform, I thought I lost because of my carelessness.
After I lost again at the Golden Millet Platform, I admitted the gap between us, but I thought I still had a chance after God Descends. Because I have the twin suns in the sky, I was born with such resplendent eyes …
In the Mountain Sea Realm, I actually hoped that 30% of his spirit source would be cut off so that I wouldn't have to suffer the pain of chasing after him. Because of this, I could have an absolute advantage in the spirit level.
But what about me?
These days, I've asked myself more than once —
But what about me? "
North Xiang gently pressed the halberd then raised his right hand. This hand was facing him. His index finger and middle finger slowly separated while the rest of his fingers closed.
He moved his right hand up.
In a tone so calm that it was almost strange, he said, "I relied too much on my eyes. They made me, but they also almost destroyed me. "
"What did I, North Xiang, rely on to stand out?"
That old voice suddenly became flustered. "No! What are you doing?! Stop! Don't do anything stupid! "
But North Xiang just continued to ask —
"Is it because of my eyes?"
"You were born with polycoria, so I, North Xiang, am unparalleled?"
"What if I peel off this pair of eyes?"
"Who am I … What am I?"
"Let me … find an answer."
When North Xiang said this, his lips slightly pursed into a faint smile. And the two fingers of his right hand had already pierced into his eyes without hesitation!
His face instantly scrunched up and his mouth unconsciously opened and closed, but there was not the slightest sound … He was in so much pain that he lost his voice!
Blood flowed down the two merciless fingers and spread down.
He fell to the ground and curled up. After a long time, he finally struggled to regain some rationality from the pain.
"You're crazy … You're absolutely crazy! You stupid, crazy brute, you've ruined your future with your own hands. "The old voice bitterly lamented," You've ruined everything! "
"Huff, huff …"
North Xiang curled up on the ground and breathed with difficulty. He stretched out his trembling hand and groped for a while before finally grabbing the body of the halberd.
After grabbing the halberd, he seemed to have eased a lot.
Even if the road ahead was pitch-black, his future was in the palm of his hand.
"Now I don't have any special eyes, and the power of my spirit is also very mediocre …"
He said, "But I've found myself."
"I haven't seen myself so clearly in a long time."
"Let me be destroyed!"
"Or. Let me reforge the light. "
