Chapter 727: Is Being Kind a Crime?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Tian Fa Xuan Beasts almost all fell to the ground with admiration in this moment. This brother-in-law of theirs was simply too formidable! Eldest sister was so domineering, yet she was still scolded like that. This was too imposing, too incredible!

Mei Xue Yan’s face turned white, and a trace of rage finally blazed in her eyes. She was not angry about Mo Xie snapping at her. Instead, she was angered by his uncaring attitude toward the fate of the common people!

“Mo Xie, how could you say that? For the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, what are the losses of mere personal interests worth?” Mei Xue Yan took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Even Venerable Mo could make such a great sacrifice. Do we have to still insist on taking their lives? Is there any meaning in doing that?”

“Truly too soft hearted. I told you to scram to one side just now, didn’t you hear?!” Jun Mo Xie snorted angrily. “If not for your concern for the War for Seizing the Heavens, would those ten Superior Supreme experts from the Elusive World of Immortals have been able to inflict you with a heavy injury that plagued you for more than a hundred years? If not for your concern for the War for Seizing the Heavens, would the three Holy Lands have dared to take actions against you? Countless people would have already died by your hands in that case! If they didn’t take advantage of your soft heartedness and your concern for the big picture, would they ever dare to do so?!

“Time and time again, you’ve placed yourself under that War for Seizing the Heavens. And time and time again, you’ve ended up suffering!” Jun Mo Xie smiled coldly and continued. “And this time, the reason they’re begging for mercy, is actually still for that damn War for Seizing the Heavens! Let me ask you, how much longer do you intend to suffer before you finally wake up!? Think about it yourself; if the roles were swapped, and you were the one begging for mercy today, do you think those people from the three Holy Lands would let you off? Could it be that you weren’t seeking to live because of the War for Seizing the Heavens?!”

“I can of course imagine what they would choose. But this is different...” Mei Xue Yan hurriedly denied. “I can sense the Venerable of Life and Death’s true feelings this time; he’s really...”

“And so what? It still wouldn’t make any difference!” Jun Mo Xie said coldly. “Because this time, they’re still making use of your broadmindedness! I’ve never denied that Mo Xiao Yao is truly thinking for the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens this time and that his actions are truly for the sake of the world! As for his heart, you’re not the only one can feel it. I can also sense his sincerity! But this should not be the reason for us to let them off just because they begged for mercy! Do you understand?”

This was the first time that Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan had quarreled since they had met! And it was an extremely serious argument!

“Jun Mo Xie, don’t try to measure the stature of an upright man by the yardstick of a base man! Although we’re in a poor situation right now, we’re still not people you can demean!” Jia Qing Yun gritted his teeth with anger, and the veins on his temples throbbed heavily.

“I’ve always been a base person. Have I ever denied that? Only, are you all considered upright men?!” Jun Mo Xie looked at him with a chilly gaze. “I only ask you one thing, Mo Xiao Yao. Stop making that face as if you have suffered bitterly in the society and are nursing a great grievance as if you’ve been wronged greatly. Lift up your head and open your eyes! Since the most difficult words have already been said, could it be that you don’t have the guts to open your eyes and look at the person who holds the power of life and death over you in the eyes?”

Mo Xiao Yao opened his eyes slowly as though they were heavy with lethargy. A deep humiliation could be seen in his eyes as he asked coldly, “What do you want to ask? Go ahead! This old man shall hear them clearly!”

“I’ll only ask you one very simple question! Did the Elusive World of Immortals take action against Venerable Mei so many times over the years by making use of her weakness of prioritizing the big picture over her interests? Did you all do that knowing that she wouldn’t kill recklessly because she was considering the War for Seizing the Heavens? That’s a very simple question right? You just need to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Give me a definite answer!” Jun Mo Xie asked coldly.

“Yes!” A hint of guilt appeared on Mo Xiao Yao’s pale face. However, his answer had come without hesitation. The fact was as such. They had indeed been taking advantage of her kindness to plot against her time and time again!

“If Venerable Mei was a vicious character that didn’t shy away from doing any evils and was the kind of Tian Fa Lord who acted without any inhibitions, would you still dare act like that?” Jun Mo Xie pressed relentlessly.

“We would not dare! But, if an opportunity appeared for us to kill her with certainty, we would definitely seize it!” Mo Xiao Yao sighed and shook his head. “Because, if she disregarded everything and one day decided to activate the Xuan Beasts to trample the continent, a huge disaster would ensue! Thus, we needed to consider very seriously whether she was such a character or not. It’s fortunate for us that she isn’t!”

Mei Xue Yan closed her eyes bitterly.

She had already guessed that this was reason long ago. But hearing these words from the culprit with her own ears now still gave her a deep pain, as if ten thousand arrows had pierced her heart. There was also a sadness over the worthlessness of her actions!

It turned out that the reason that the people whom she’d fought side by side with in the past moved against her was actually because of her kindness!

It was because she was too kind and too concerned about the big picture that they acted so outrageously, ambushing her on so many occasions and even almost taking her life!

It was because they knew that her retaliation would never be too ruthless! She would never deal with them in the same way they dealt with her! Thus, they became completely fearless!

What exactly happened to this world?

Is kindness the reason for deserving death?!

Is kindness the reason for deserving to be ambushed and plotted against?!

Is kindness the reason to be suppressed?!

Is kindness the excuse for others to act despicably?!

In that moment, Mei Xue Yan sunk deeply into a state of bewilderment..

“Now, you’ve been defeated! But you suddenly want to bring up the matter about the War for Seizing the Heavens...” Jun Mo Xie laughed scornfully. “Venerable Mo, I know that you are truly feeling regretful in your heart now, which is why you begged for mercy in consideration for the War for Seizing the Heavens. I know that you truly wish to contribute your strength toward the War for Seizing the Heavens! That is an undoubtedly noble and admirable intention! To this extent, you’ve also made a huge sacrifice! Based on just this point alone, I respect you!”

“But I have to say this! No matter how noble your intentions are, they are not the reason for you to bully others and do all kinds of evil!” Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly. “For the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, for the sake of the world, these words are extremely good to hear! And you all have indeed fulfilled those words and made your contributions! But that doesn’t mean anything! Every evil needs to have a corresponding consequence! Just because you’ve guarded the continent in the War for Seizing the Heavens doesn’t mean that other people should obediently stretch out their necks for you to slaughter whenever you please!

“Even if it’s for a so-called heroic cause, evil deeds cannot be simply covered up with past merits!” Jun Mo Xie continued emotionlessly. “There are some people who commit robbery so they can feed their family; in a more noble view, perhaps they’ve adopted countless orphans and was robbing others to feed the children... However, the noble cause does not change the fact that they’ve committed robbery! Some people commit murder in order to protect their loved ones. But the fact remains that they killed and took another’s life! This is the truth; no one would let these criminals go just because they committed the evil for a so-called noble cause!

“By what rights then, do you expect to be an exception?” Jun Mo Xie pressed relentlessly. “You schemed against your comrades, betrayed your allies, hunted the Xuan Beasts, and robbed their Xuan Cores, justifying everything by claiming that you’re increasing your strength for the War for Seizing the Heavens! Of course, I indeed believe that you’re truly using your upgraded strength for the War for Seizing the Heavens... However, are there really any connections between this and that?!

“The War for Seizing the Heavens was your duty from the very start! It’s not an excuse! And it’s not a shameless reason for you to commit all kinds of evils!” Jun Mo Xie snorted and his voice grew increasingly calm. “Today, I will definitely not let you off!”

Pointing coldly at the group of experts on the ground, he sneered. “Mo Xiao Yao, I believe that you meant every single word you just said! But do you know how many people have died here today? Turn around and look at your subordinates. Which one of them do not harbor extreme hatred toward us? There are over 80 Superior Supreme experts gathered here now; Mo Xiao Yao, while I may believe that you will not seek revenge, what about them? Can you guarantee that none of them will seek revenge against me and against the Jun Family?! Tell me, can I really let you all go? Can I release the tiger back into the mountain? Would I dare to do that? If it were you, would you dare?!”

Mo Xiao Yao’s spirits sank and he sighed longly!

From the start, he had found Jun Mo Xie’s words to be incredibly jarring to the ears and he took them as a great humiliation! However, as he listened, he finally understood. They had indeed been too overboard with their actions!

The three Holy Lands had always felt that as long as it was for the War for Seizing the Heavens, every action they took would be right! However, this thinking in itself was a great mistake!

“Jun Mo Xie, what inhibitions do you still have about us? Could it be that you want us to swear blood oaths and sign a written vow with our blood?” Xiao Tian Ya asked with clenched teeth.

“Blood oath? That’s nothing but a line of words! Anyone can utter those words by moving their lips. Written vow? That’s also just a piece of paper! Do you think I would put my faith in those things?” Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly. “You want me to bet the lives of my entire family on the reliability of your so-called oaths? You people can even turn your backs on the thousand year old pledges made by your ancestors and attack Tian Fa. If I believed your words today, wouldn’t I truly be a retard? I will not take this kind of risk and I do not dare take this kind of risk!”

“We’ve suffered an overwhelming defeat in this battle. To think that we had been self-indulgently plotting and scheming, even making plans for after the battle. So it turns out that we were overestimating ourselves and courting our own humiliation!” Mo Xiao Yao laughed bitterly. Turning around, he saw the rage and hatred on the faces of those 80 experts behind him. Even Mo Xiao Yao could clearly sense the deep hatred and malice in their hearts, and he couldn’t help but sigh helplessly!

It was as Jun Mo Xie had said. Although he could guarantee that he would not seek revenge himself, even going as far as being able to guarantee that Jia Qing Yun, Xiao Tian Ya, and the other Venerables would not seek revenge, but what about the rest? Judging by the poisonous rage on their faces and the killing intent radiating from their bodies, if those people said that they wouldn’t seek revenge, even he wouldn’t believe them!

There was simply no need to talk about it!

This kind of bone-deep hatred was so intense that even if they were bounded by all kinds of vows and restrictions, someone would definitely still secretly take revenge. As for the words about them going to Tian Fa to offer up their lives if they managed to survive the war two and a half years later, that was even more nonsensical!

Jun Mo Xie most likely would not fear their vengeance, and the same went for Mei Xue Yan. However, what about the rest of the Jun Family? The other Tian Fa Xuan Beasts? Not everyone was Venerable-level experts!

There was also the Duanmu Family, Sikong Family, Dongfang Family... as long as any of the people here managed to leave here alive today, those families would all be met with a vengeance of blood! That was a matter of certainty!

There was no doubt about it!

Just ten Superior Supremes were able to ambush Venerable Mei back then, even nearly managing to take her life! Not to mention the 80 peak level experts present here! Although Mei Xue Yan had already been seriously injured at that time, the might of those Superior Supremes was also unquestionable!

With the exception of the Jun Family, it wouldn’t be an impossible matter to completely flatten all those affiliated families! In fact, just sending one or two of the 80 experts here would be more than enough to accomplish this!
