Song Xiwei thought he was just different from her in terms of ideology, but she didn't know that his true nature was so cruel.
He squinted at Kotoha and said, "You have saved countless lives and think of yourself as a living bodhisattva, but little do you know that you have already fallen into evil ways."
"Before today, I did not kill any living beings, but if you remain obstinate, these people will die because of you. This is the karma you have created, while I am merely doing something that is more beneficial than harmful." Yan Ye had completely absolved himself of his guilt with his words.
Song Xi sneered and summoned her natal magic weapon. The hairpin emitted a faint light in her hand, and when it was activated, her chest burned and stung.
Even so, she did not back down in the slightest.
Kotoha saw the magic that Song Xiwei was using; this was no ordinary magic, but a powerful magic that could transfer all the people in the city to another location.
Under these circumstances, Song Xiwei actually went to such lengths to do this.
She truly cares about the common people, and even at this critical moment, she has carried this sentiment so deeply.
Kotoha's smile vanished, and she looked at her with a hint of exasperation: "Is it worth it? For the sake of these complete strangers, you're forcibly unleashing such a powerful spell. Your natal magic weapon can't withstand it, and your life will be in danger. Where has your wisdom gone? Why are you being so foolish?"
Song Xiwei didn't have time to respond to Yan Ye's words because she was focused on casting a spell to relocate the people.
But then another voice spoke up before she could, saying, "He really is quite stupid."
Upon hearing this voice, Song Xiwei's body trembled.
His eyes searched everywhere, and he heard several screams. The soldiers surrounding the city gate fell down, and a tall, handsome man in a soldier's uniform walked up to him. Who else could this man be but Ao Qian?
Song Xiwei's eyes lit up, and her voice was filled with surprise: "I'm so glad you're alright!"
Aoqian didn't respond to her words. Instead, he walked up to her and asked calmly, "How much longer?"
Song Xiwei paused for a moment. She found it incredible that the two of them could still chat so calmly at this point. "About an incense stick's time?"
Upon hearing this, Aoqian frowned, his expression turning sour.
His gaze lingered on her pale face for a moment before he spoke in a muffled voice, "I understand."
He knows? What does he know?
Song Xiwei was completely confused.
But then she saw Aoqian shielding her with his entire body. He was a head taller than her and wore armor, making him appear much stronger.
It almost completely blocked Song Xiwei from view.
Song Xiwei couldn't see Aoqian's expression, but she could see his upright posture.
Then Aoqian's calm voice rang out: "Concentrate on casting your spell, and I will keep out any bystanders."
Song Xiwei's chest was burning painfully, and the omnipresent stinging pain greatly limited her ability to cast spells.
At this moment, Aoqian's appearance, whether it was a misperception or not, inexplicably gave her a sense of comfort.
Even though she knew he had destroyed his spiritual veins and was practically useless, unable to protect her from anything.
But I was still touched when I heard him say those words.
It was worth it!
Who said it's not worth it?
Ao Qian is a great demon who has shaken the entire Six Realms, and so many people fear him.
But he is the one who is on the same side as me at this moment!
He should have been evil and corrupted, but he was buying himself time to save the world first.
Kotoha, who is always compassionate and saves people, stands on the opposite side.
Such a scene is truly ironic.
