This Li seemed to have become a completely different person.
He was a person who had been completely cut off from everything that had happened in the past.
He was someone who had no emotions and only a heart of stone. He only knew how to carry out the orders of the sect and only existed for the future of the sect.
Cheng Qing read Li's state of mind.
His heart felt like it had been grabbed.
He knew that the mental torture and mental trauma he had anticipated toward Li had now become a reality. To the pure, kind and righteous Elder Begonia, it was like the turning of the sky, the overturning of the earth, the collapse of mountains and rivers, the collapse and destruction of the entire world.
In the face of such a huge change, if a person wanted to maintain his mind and not lose his mind, then he would have to form a new world view, construct a new psychological defense mechanism, and convince himself of this.
There was no right or wrong, only reality.
And now, Li Jun was telling Cheng Qing that she had completed the process of self-remodeling.
He stopped five steps away from the other party.
Cheng Qing knew that he had to do something, say something. He had no time to hesitate, much less escape, whether it was out of righteousness or personal affection.
He stared into Elder Li's eyes, knowing that whatever he said now was useless. Explaining was unnecessary, and words of consolation were even more useless. His sympathy was especially laughable.
The only choice he had was to give the other party a real life.
According to the method of activating the Pearl of Manifestation, he had shed Su Chen's outer appearance and returned to his true appearance.
He tried to use a calm and gentle tone as he confessed, "I am Cheng Qing, Sect Master of the An Tian Sect. I impersonated Su Chen as someone who had hidden the Thousand-Jue Sect because I sensed that they were colluding with the Sun family. There might be a possibility that they were selling off their country, so I wanted to find evidence to save them from possible danger.
"My appearance is fake, my actions are imitative, but everything I did in the Thousand Extreme Sect, all of the words I said, came from my own heart. Li? Have you saved me before, and I have saved you as well. I've lived through hardships together with you, and we've given our backs to each other. It's not because we want to use you, but because you're Li? "
With that, Cheng Qing took a deep breath. He looked at Li Jun and said no more.
He could only say this much. Any more nonsense would be useless. He did not want to use the words' pretentious' and 'exposed to the bone.' Perhaps the result would be better, but he did not have that kind of character.
The meaning he wanted to express had already been expressed clearly.
Li Yi's posture remained the same, her stone-like face remained the same, and the way she looked at Cheng Qing didn't change at all. It was as if she didn't see or hear anything.
But she did.
The act of drawing the sword.
The green reed was out of its scabbard inch by inch, and its sword qi was flowing. Its voice was sharp and fierce.
She said, "You killed Li Zhi and a lot of disciples from the Thousand Extinction Sect."
When she said this, her voice was emotionless. It was flat and straightforward, just like the person she was now.
Cheng Qing understood what Li Yi meant.
He was not Su Chen. He was Chen Qing. He had killed Lee Yanyi's uncle, so this was a personal grudge. He had killed many of the elders and disciples of the Thousand Extreme Martial School. This was a public feud.
No matter what kind of person she was, or the vice head of the Thousand-Jue Sect, or the heir to the sect, all she needed were two words: blood debt will be repaid with blood.
Cheng Qing stared straight at the Vice Hall Master of the Thousand-Jue Sect before him, and drew out his Heaven Lake Sword inch by inch.
After defeating Qin Zong, who was at the third level of the Conviction Realm, Cheng Qing had already used all his strength. Now that he was facing off against Li, who was at the fourth level as well, Cheng Qing's chances of winning were zero.
He had no intention of running away.2
If he had only wanted to stay alive, he could have entered the Nine Phoenix City and become a cowering tortoise.
In this battle tonight, there was no retreat for the Western Paradise cultivators within Sun Moon City!
Revealing his sword, this was Cheng Qing's only option.
It was also to show his respect for Li Jun.
Respect for a cultivator who had drawn his sword.
Li Wu made his move.
