Chapter 170: Chapter 30 Lawlessness (Thanks to all readers for their rewards)At this point, the corpse left by Constable Chen had turned into a clump on the ground, from bones to flesh all turned into a steaming, rapidly drying mass of dark red meat paste. This was the outcome for those who "recklessly drew spirit into the body without cultivating their Essence Qi to its peak"—completely pulverized by the forces of heaven and earth. An Jing possessed the Heavenly Mandate that allowed him to skip steps, but those who did so recklessly would certainly not meet a good end. "He was just a minor character, probably didn’t really know the situation," someone said. An Jing brought a dustpan and broom, cleaned up the dried-up meat paste, then took it to the riverbank, grinding all the remaining traces away, even the hard bones were crumbled into dust and scattered into the river. Friends who often dealt with corpses knew that with such treatment, nobody could recognize the body. After completely erasing all traces of Constable Chen, An Jing sighed, "It’s a pity, otherwise, more lives could have been saved... But there will be opportunities in the future. When I deal with the Chongyi Building, I should be able to rescue those kidnapped people." "You still harbor good intentions, I see," said the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit cynically. "It’s just that your methods are rather befitting of the Evil Sect, our righteous Immortal Sword would not use physical torture to force confessions, especially enjoying it," the Sword Spirit remarked. "I’m not actually forcing a confession," An Jing admitted frankly. "I simply can’t hold back. Thinking about the miserable fates of those poor people, I can’t help but let these beasts be tortured as well," An Jing explained. "Hmm..." Upon hearing this, even Subdue Evil pondered, "An Jing, if you always hold this thought, even though you continue to act heroically, in the end, you too will become like them, viewing life as trivial and the universe as your own, a Demon Leader." "So what?" An Jing turned, his equipment sorted, then he transformed back into his former self, Dust Li, and walked leisurely away from the riverbank, "I don’t care." He said calmly, "I just don’t eat people, but I never said I don’t kill, nor did I say I aim to be a good person." "I will... be crueler than them. More bloody and horrifying, becoming a more..." "lawless Demon Leader." "If that’s the case," Subdue Evil sighed, "I need to think if there’s any Demon God swordsmanship related to the Nether Sea Youli, or any other kind of Blood Fiend demons sword technique... There should be something that fits your mood." "What?" An Jing had thought that Subdue Evil Sword Spirit might lecture him, urging him to be less cruel in the future, but instead, the spirit was surprisingly open, already thinking about changing cultivation techniques, "Is that possible?" He said in surprise, "You actually... are willing to let me practice the Demon Dao cultivation techniques?" "What do you think a sword is?" To this, Subdue Evil Sword Spirit seemed unconcerned, speaking almost as if it were a matter of fact, "A sword is a tool for killing! Whether it be quick or torturous, what’s the difference? Especially when it comes to torturing Heavenly Demons and Evil Ghosts, that is the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, utterly justified!" "From the common people to Imperial Heaven, all beings in the universe eagerly desire, they crave that we inflict the greatest, most unimaginable pain on them!" "The Great Dao is omnipresent, even in... slaughter and torture!" "This..." hearing this, An Jing indeed froze, his voice filled with disbelief, "Is this true... no, this isn’t what I imagined..." "Haha, do you know how terrifying the punishments are in the Ghost Capital Underworld? Do you know that evildoers and evil spirits have to endure subjective millennia of punishment through the eighteen levels of hell?" Subdue Evil Sword Spirit laughed, "This is why I didn’t want to tell you about the original regulations of Embracing the Void because what you imagine in your mind, that majestic, bright, and just thing, does not exist between heaven and earth." "An Jing, what do you think the Sword Immortal is? What do you think the Sects are?" As he said this, Subdue Evil Sword Spirit’s tone became solemn and deep, "Supreme Dao and Morality once stated: He who bears the stains of the state is the Master of the Nation; he who bears the misfortunes of the state is the King of All Under Heaven. Countless Sects ruled all under heaven, how could they possibly lack such methods to handle dirt and darkness? The Demon Dao is a necessary existence in the entire universe and part of the Sects... carrying the negative while embracing the positive, this is the necessary darkness." "Moreover, the operation of a power, the actions of a powerful entity, can every thought be bright, clean, and just? Common people believe that Immortals are flawless, that is because they lack insight, but if we ourselves genuinely believe that, then aren’t we being dishonest to the Dao as Cultivators?" "To only acknowledge the pure self and deny the tainted self, is this not also a deception of the sword, of the heart?" "Common people may naively see the world in black and white, that’s as far as they can see." "But we are Sword Cultivators— the sword has two edges, one for righteousness, one for desire, with the heart as the Sword Spine, supporting the flawless Dao Heart that balances justly without deviation, integrating yin and yang!" "...I have learned." At this moment, An Jing truly nodded from the heart, feeling a brand new understanding of his past enlightenment with the Embracing the Void Sects. Although the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit not only cannot clearly distinguish whether it is an Immortal or an Immortal Sword, but now it even doubts if it is an Immortal Sword at all, no matter what, It indeed is a guide with its unique thoughts, firm logic, and a perspective of seeing the bigger picture. An Jing was very grateful for the guidance, but he actually wanted to clarify a bit, "I’m not really a Sword Cultivator, I just use the sword as a weapon..." "Your case is quite special," while the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit did not hear, It was lost in thought at the moment, "Is it the sword of a Demon God or a sword of slaughter... or perhaps a sword of judgment in the Netherworld..." —It’s all about the sword. This conversation couldn’t go on, a typical Sword Cultivator mindset. An Jing sighed, ignoring the Sword Spirit lost in thought. Though the Sword Cultivator mindset had infiltrated his brain, he believed that the other party would eventually find the most suitable cultivation technique for him. Just like the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban. Meanwhile. A blind fortune-teller also arrived at this border city amidst the growing blizzard. "Ming City... The last time I came here was two hundred years ago." The blind Taoist Priest ’surveyed’ the entire city, heaving a long sigh, "Engulfed in flames, either perishing in a great fire or slowly extinguishing... This city’s fate has ended, I wonder if it can survive this calamity." While he was reflecting, the blind Taoist Priest uttered a light ’huh’, looking towards the direction where An Jing was dismantling Constable Chen, "Blood Qi, official Qi... Is this, an attack on the government officials?" It was evident that the Taoist did not have much respect for the Da Chen officials, just shaking his head, "No, one-on-one. It’s a personal vendetta, truly brutal." "Ming City really has become a lawless land; how can someone dare to kill a government constable." "And who is this person? This method of killing..." "Doesn’t it seem a bit too much like the Demon Sect?" An Jing, who was identified as being from the Demon Sect, had also returned to the inn at this point. "I’m sorry, sir, but there’s nothing we can do..." As An Jing was packing his luggage, preparing to leave, the inn keeper wiped the sweat off his brow, explaining, "They had a search warrant, but your items are definitely not short— we watched the entire process, we even stopped those constables from taking your gemstones!" "I don’t blame you." An Jing waved his hand, the government office came with a search warrant to deal with him, the inn certainly wouldn’t dare to obstruct, but as long as he left for a bit, it would lead to a search of his place, so of course, he couldn’t stay at this inn anymore. And other inns likely would be no different, and a new place to stay would be hard to find. The inn keeper constantly apologized to An Jing, although he didn’t quite understand what exactly was going on with the local constables, An Jing was clearly not someone he could afford to offend, backed by the Dust Li great family. As a gesture of apology, he wanted to refund the accommodation fees for An Jing’s stay, but An Jing did not accept it as he had been quite comfortable here. There is an accountable perpetrator for every injustice; he was well aware of who was responsible. "What to do next? Rush to Chongyi Building and challenge them all?" Upon thinking this, the Sword Spirit became quite enthusiastic, It had never encountered such a situation before. Although It had lived through long ages, most of Its memories had been forgotten, and those that remained were of vanquishing demons and evil, It really had no clue how ordinary cultivators would handle this situation. "No hurry." And An Jing was truly calm— mainly because killing Constable Chen had considerably improved his mood, "Currently, they are unaware of my true strength, yet I have a general understanding of theirs. On the surface, I am in the light and they are in the dark, but in reality, it’s the opposite." "We stick to the original plan, investigate a bit more when they report back tonight, make perfect preparations, and then we can be invincible in every battle." "For now, let’s go to the tea house." "I think it’s time to have an open and honest conversation with Granny Huai."
