A Clear Conscience
In that instant, Lu Qingyao's body suddenly trembled. A powerful aura surged from her body, making her sword even sharper. It cut through the ape's fur and pierced into its flesh.
Behind them, Chu Xingyun seemed to have sensed something and looked at Lu Qingxuan. However, he saw that Lu Qingxuan's eyes had recovered. Lu Qingyao's sword flashed and easily cut off the head of the giant ape.
Rumble!
The ape's huge body fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
Lu Qingyao slowly landed on the ground. Her short sword was still stained with the ape's blood. She seemed to be hinting at something. She taunted, "The Giant Ghost-Faced Ape is only so-so. How easy."
Swoosh!
Qi Yuzhen's face turned livid. He glared fiercely at Lu Qingyao and immediately moved away. He rushed toward the surrounding spirit beasts, venting the anger in his heart.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyao withdrew her gaze in satisfaction. She smiled intimately at Lu Qingxuan. Her smile was so beautiful that it stunned the surrounding Wanjian Pavilion disciples. They were intoxicated by her smile.
Lu Qingyao would only act like this in front of Lu Qingxuan.
"Let's continue. Let's try to clear a path before dark." Lu Qingxuan also smiled. The two girls rushed forward and charged toward the spirit beasts again.
Time flew. Soon, the sun set behind the West Mountains.
As soon as night fell, the group arrived at the location of the spiritual light stone vein.
It was a mountain stream that covered a large area. There were many caves inside. The caves were deep and quiet, emitting whistling sounds. The cave at the front buried the spiritual light stone vein.
"The caves here are deep and connected to each other. There are also many spirit beasts hidden here. Please be careful." Lin Changche pointed to the front and warned them.
Along the way, the group encountered many spirit beasts. There were even a few spirit beasts in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. However, these were not the true dangers of Cangtian Valley.
The mountain stream in front of them was not only the place where the Spiritual Light Stone Vein was buried, but at the same time, it was also a place where danger gathered.
"Let's set up camp here. Tomorrow, we'll go deeper into the cave," Chang Mingyang said in a clear voice. Then, he rushed forward and carefully observed the situation around him.
After a few days of running around and killing spirit beasts, many disciples felt tired. They sat down cross-legged and began to recover their strength in preparation for tomorrow's battle.
Chu Xingyun was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock. Suddenly, his closed eyes opened and he spat out, "What's the matter?"
These words came so suddenly that Lu Qingxuan jumped in fright. However, she quickly calmed down and said gratefully, "It's all thanks to Sword Master Luo Yun. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Please accept a bow from your disciple."
"You don't have to thank me. This is Qingyao's idea." Chu Xingyun turned his head and closed his eyes again. "Moreover, I can also take advantage of this trip to let the four of them gain more experience and familiarize themselves with the affairs of the outer sect."
Lu Qingxuan nodded. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Suddenly, there was no more conversation between the two. There was only silence.
Just as Lu Qingxuan was feeling awkward, Chu Xingyun suddenly asked, "When Qingyao was fighting with the Ghost Face Giant Ape, your eyes were strange. That should be the power of the Other Eye, right?"
"That's right." Lu Qingxuan didn't hide anything. She said to Chu Xingyun, "My Soul-Awakening Eye can purify the mind and allow cultivators to see through illusions. It can also increase their battle strength in a short period of time."
"Soul-Awakening Eye." Chu Xingyun murmured. At that time, Lu Qingyao's battle strength suddenly increased after Lu Qingxuan's glance, which was why she dealt a heavy blow to the Ghost Face Giant Ape.
After all, the Sword Intent of Darkness that Lu Qingyao had mastered wasn't good at fighting head-on. Under normal circumstances, her sword wouldn't have been able to deal a fatal blow to the Ghost Face Giant Ape.
Chu Xingyun knew this, which was why he was sure that Lu Qingxuan also had the Other Eye.
"However, I only recently awakened the Soul-Awakening Eye. I can't use it for a long period of time. Not many people know about it," Lu Qingxuan added, which enlightened Chu Xingyun.
Not only could the Soul-Awakening Eye see through illusions, but it could also increase one's battle strength in a short period of time.
Such innate Other Eye was extremely powerful. If Lu Qingxuan had awakened it earlier, perhaps everyone would have known about it. After all, the title of the most beautiful woman in Wanjian Pavilion was too famous. Everyone was paying attention to her.
"Sword Master Luo Yun," Lu Qingxuan spoke again while Chu Xingyun was thinking.
She had already walked to Chu Xingyun's side. With a hesitant expression, she said softly, "I would like to thank you again for what happened last time. At the same time, I would also like to thank you for forgiving Qingyao's mistake."
As she spoke, Lu Qingxuan was full of gratitude. She bowed deeply to Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun opened his eyes and asked, "Qingyao's mistake? What did she do wrong?"
Lu Qingxuan was stunned. She was about to speak, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She was worried that others would hear it.
But the expression on her face had already made it clear that the mistake she was talking about was Lu Qingyao's transformation into the Shadow Swordsman and her wanton slaughter in Wanjian Pavilion.
"You and Qingyao are sisters. The two of you depend on each other. You made a great sacrifice in order to let her stay in Wanjian Pavilion, and she secretly suffered a lot in order to protect you. Could it be that in your opinion, her actions were all wrong?"
Chu Xingyun asked rhetorically, which made Lu Qingxuan frown. She opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, a voice sounded in her mind, "To those disciples of Wanjian Pavilion, their deaths were very tragic. It was a terrible disaster. But to you, their deaths were a kind of protection for you."
"Martial artists stand in this world and pursue the peak of martial arts all their lives. Their actions and words cannot be considered in every aspect. Even if you kill an extremely vicious and evil person, there will still be people who will loudly denounce you. Are you going to spare anyone just because you are afraid of being reprimanded?"
Lu Qingxuan shook her head and replied, "I won't kill anyone. Everyone has the right to live."
"But everyone also has the right to choose whether to kill or not," Chu Xingyun immediately responded the moment Lu Qingxuan's voice fell, which made her look stunned.
Lu Qingxuan turned her head and found Chu Xingyun staring at her. Although his expression was calm, there was a light of wisdom in it. He said loudly, "No one can distinguish right from wrong in the world. Right or wrong, it all depends on a single thought. As long as you have a clear conscience, that is enough."
A clear conscience!
These four words were like morning bells and evening drums, beating fiercely in the depths of Lu Qingxuan's heart.
At this moment, she felt as if all the hair on her body had been removed. The doubt in her eyes immediately dissipated, and her knitted brows also relaxed. She seemed to have understood something.
Chu Xingyun had a smile on his face. However, at that moment, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out from all directions. It was so powerful that it caused the entire mountain stream to tremble and vibrate endlessly.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qingxuan suddenly came back to her senses. She looked up and found that there was a vast and powerful Demonic Qi sweeping over from the depths of the mountain stream. Like a tide, it covered half the night sky.
At this time, the disciples of the Wanjian Pavilion also noticed something strange and looked up.
They saw that the Demonic Qi was getting stronger and stronger. It covered the sky and the sun, covering the moon and the stars, causing the entire space to be filled with a restless aura. The roar also became more and more shocking. Even the ground was shaking, and the mountain rocks were rustling.
Chu Xingyun kept staring at the terrifying Demonic Qi.
