Chapter 1282 - Chapter 1282 Chapter 574 The Weaklings Counterattack

Chapter 1282: Chapter 574: The Weakling’s Counterattack Chapter 1282: Chapter 574: The Weakling’s Counterattack Su Yun’s wish to die had taken Yun Xiu by surprise; she couldn’t have imagined that the servant, who had repeatedly vowed to seek revenge against her, would abandon all hope to live after seeing the Gu Master and An Yuanxi.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to avenge yourself against me? And now that your goal is within reach, how could you give up at this moment?”

Tears streaming down her face, Yun Xiu said encouragingly.

“Miss, please, let them be released from their suffering.”

Su Yun, also with tears streaming down her face, said: “Those still in the Underground prison have long ceased to be human. Their bodies are riddled with holes and their souls shattered to pieces. If they had the choice, they would have ended their lives long ago. If Saint Child would keep his promise to kill them should he fail to see you, it wouldn’t be punishment, but an act of mercy!”

It was a preposterous turn, the threat of killing becoming an act of charity, leaving Yun Xiu at a loss for words.

Watching the two of them exchange mournful glances, Tang Luo on the side twitched his mouth and spoke again.

In truth, he didn’t feel much empathy for the plight of Longyuan’s servants, since in his eyes, they were nothing but weaklings devoid of any spirit of resistance.

These weaklings certainly deserved sympathy, but they were not entirely blameless, just as Su Yun had said. The ugliness that prevailed in the Underground prison was surely not confined to their cell alone.

Su Yun might have come to terms with her own heart and let go of her hatred after encountering Yun Xiu’s kindness, but he couldn’t guarantee such a miracle would be repeated.

Perhaps, as Su Yun had suggested, releasing these broken souls might indeed be the best option.

For in the end, one must face oneself at some point. How will those survivors in Hanging Sky City, who embraced endless evil, hug their own putrid selves when they really achieve what they thought to be their goal?

Bitterness stems from regret precisely because the past can’t be relived. No matter how much you don’t want to admit to your actions at that time, they have already happened.

Regrettably, not everyone gets a chance to change their ways, and Su Yun is already luckier than the vast majority.

“I think she’s right.”

Tang Luo spoke somberly: “You haven’t been through purgatory, so you don’t know what they need. Maybe they would prefer liberation over seeing the light of day again.”

Yun Xiu turned around and glared at him in anger, but Tang Luo did not intend to rephrase his words, insisting instead, “In this matter, of course, she has more right to speak. I can understand your desire to save them, but you must also respect what they truly need. It’s like me liking pears; you can’t force-feed me apples and insist I accept that they’re more nutritious and better, right?”

“Heh…” Su Yun covered her mouth and chuckled: “It seems the son-in-law is quite a humorous man. Miss, you are really fortunate.”

“Alright, I will grant you your release.”

“Thank you, son-in-law.”

“Wait, don’t do it!”

With her arms spread, Su Yun was transformed into a mist of blood by a pinpoint strike of energy from Tang Luo’s finger snap, the Spiritual Fire igniting from the void to steam the blood away into a curling wisp of red smoke.

Yun Xiu’s outstretched hand failed to stop Tang Luo, ultimately catching only the red smoke slipping through her fingers.

“Why, why wouldn’t you even leave me time for a final word!?”

“Because I understand you, I know you wanted to use the Charming Eyes to make Su Yun forget her past and start over!”

The exposed Yun Xiu trembled with rage: “Since you knew, why did you stop me?”

“Because the life force of a human has limits,” Tang Luo explained.

“What are you talking about?”

“You are a healer; you should understand. No matter how miraculous the treatment method, it’s essentially about squeezing the self-healing life force and harnessing Spiritual Energy for healing. This little girl’s life force was already drained long ago. Just now, when she let go of her hatred, the force inside her heart dissipated, and her spirit declined.”

Tang Luo explained, “With her initial Foundation Building martial foundation, she will experience the five decays in a very short period of time, and those chronic diseases from her punishments will rapidly burst out, torturing her so much that life will seem worse than death. You think using Charming Eyes to erase her memories is clever, but I don’t necessarily agree. In a few days, when she is tormented by countless diseases and her hair has turned completely white, how will you explain to her, who has lost her memories, why this is happening?”

“…”

Yun Xiu slumped to her knees, looking up at the red smoke that had flown to who knows where, tears streaming down her face.

“Xiao Yun was such a good child. Even if she really liked my hairpin, she would only wear it then put it back in its place.”

“Uncle Su is a very good man; knowing that Xiao Yun loves to look beautiful, he would make hairpins out of bamboo peaches for Xiao Yun.”

“They are all good people. They just want to live peacefully. What did they do wrong? Why did the Dutian Heavenly King have to treat them this way?”

Looking at Yun Xiu, who was huddled up with her knees to her chest, Tang Luo walked up gently, sat beside her, twisted her shoulders around, and said earnestly, “For kind-hearted people not to be looked down upon, not to be humiliated, it’s necessary to have even more clever methods and even more formidable strength. And that path is one seldom taken. You’ve already done very well.”

“Is that so? But why haven’t I managed to protect anything?”

“Because most of the time, success or failure has nothing to do with effort. Going all out in the short term can’t change the disparity in absolute strength.”

Tang Luo said softly, “But life is long, and as long as the belief remains, one can ultimately break through the barriers. Even the Dragon State Demon King was overturned by the Yun Clan leading the charge. What’s the Dutian Heavenly King compared to that?”

Upon hearing Tang Luo mention the glories of her ancestors, Yun Xiu couldn’t help but feel bitter, “But that was Yun Zu, I…”

“In my eyes, you have all the qualities to become a strong person. The only problem is, you don’t believe in yourself enough.”

Tang Luo said seriously, “Actually, I know what you’re afraid of. You feel that even if you practice cultivation desperately, you still won’t be a match for the tremendous Dutian Heavenly King. But what I want to tell you is, the key to whether you can take your revenge is not based on the level of your cultivation, but on your determination and imagination!”

“Revenge? Determination?”

Yun Xiu said with a bitter smile, “Can I really obtain justice for those who have died?”

“The blood of the innocent can’t flow in vain. It’s precisely because the cost of doing evil is too low that the Dutian Heavenly King dares to be so brazen,” Tang Luo said coldly.

“If they don’t witness the wrath of the weak, they’ll truly believe there’s no one in this world who can deal with them!”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to let them know that all the wronged souls who died in Hanging Sky City are waiting for an opportunity to get back at the king. Until then, their resentment will never fade!”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that in the future, remember to discuss with me before getting involved in any fight or killing; don’t just run out there alone!” Tang Luo said irritably. “And another thing, don’t just talk about breaking up. Roommates like us, who have been through life-and-death situations, are supposed to stick together forever!”
