One has to admit that Mo Jiuyou's swordsmanship is top-notch in the entire Zhongzhou, even at the same level as Lin Hongye.
It is not wrong to say that he rarely finds rivals in Zhongzhou.
But unfortunately, the person he met was Lu Chen, a sword immortal from the upper realm above Zhongzhou.
Looking at Lin Yang who was shaking his head and laughing, Lu Chen said worriedly:
"Oh, Master, please stop laughing. I've destroyed his self-confidence. What should I do? Will he never recover from this?"
Just when Lin Yang was about to speak, a system task popped up instantly:
[Task 1: Change Mo Jiuyou's view on the righteous path]
Seeing this task, Lu Chen took a breath of cold air. After all, it would be extremely difficult to persuade Mo Jiuyou to change his views on the righteous path, even a little bit.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Yang has plenty of time to waste with Zhou Xiao.
He came back to his senses, coughed twice and comforted Lu Chen:
...
...
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. You can go back first, and I will come and persuade him."
Hearing that Lin Yang was taking action personally, Lu Chen felt relieved.
"Well, then it's up to you, Master. I'll go practice swordplay first."
After saying that, Lu Chenbian flew directly away from Zhou Xiao's cave, and Lin Yang walked to the front of the cave and shouted:
"Zhou Xiao, come out!"
But unfortunately, no one answered.
Lin Yang shrugged, then punched a big hole in Zhou Xiao's cave and walked in.
Zhou Xiao was seen sitting cross-legged on a cushion practicing. When he saw the gravel under Lin Yang's feet, the corners of his mouth twitched and he asked:
"Is it related to the gate of my cave?"
Lin Yang shrugged and said indifferently:
"I was so worried about you. I was afraid that you would lose to a kid and lose faith. I was so anxious that I came in to check on you."
After saying that, he sat on a stone chair nearby and asked Zhou Xiao curiously:
"Hey, you are a genius in the magic world after all. You won't be completely defeated by a failure, right?"
Zhou Xiao snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Humph, there is not a single normal person in your Chiyang Peak. I have made up my mind. I will not leave until my cultivation is restored."
Listening to Zhou Xiao's words, Lin Yang curled his lips and said sarcastically:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. With your physical talent, it will take at least a thousand years for you to recover to your original level of cultivation."
"Humph, a thousand years is a thousand years. What does it matter if I wait for a thousand years?"
"Also, are you okay? If you are, please leave my cave as soon as possible. I am going to start practicing."
Hearing Zhou Xiao's tone, Lin Yang was so angry that he laughed. If it wasn't for the task to complete, he would have definitely beaten Zhou Xiao up at this moment.
Helpless, Lin Yang could only lick his face and continue:
"Don't worry, I have something else I want to talk to you about."
"You want to talk to me? With me?" Zhou Xiao glanced at Lin Yang suspiciously, "I don't think there's anything to talk about between us."
"No matter what, we are officially master and disciple. What's wrong with you listening to me, your master, say a few words?"
Zhou Xiao sighed helplessly, and then said impatiently:
"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell me, and then hurry up and leave my cave."
Seeing that Zhou Xiao was willing to listen, Lin Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:
"Zhou Xiao, do you hate righteous monks?"
Lin Yang's first question made Zhou Xiao laugh. He couldn't help but sneer and then asked back:
"Lin Yang, you are a cultivator of the righteous path, and I am a cultivator of the evil path. Don't you think that your question is a bit naive?"
Lin Yang shrugged and continued to ask:
"What I mean is, putting aside our positions and prejudices, from your own perspective, do you really hate the righteous monks?"
Zhou Xiao still nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I still hate it."
"Why?"
Zhou Xiao listed them out without even thinking:
"Because you righteous monks are hypocritical and false. You say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. You are all a bunch of hypocrites. You are worse than the real villains like us in the demonic sect."
Lin Yang did not rush to refute, but waited until Zhou Xiao finished speaking before he continued to ask:
"So, how did you know so many shortcomings of the righteous monks?"
Zhou Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and then he said in a muffled tone:
"I heard it from the sect."
Lin Yang laughed and continued, "So, you still haven't let go of your prejudice and are still looking at the righteous cultivators with tinted glasses."
"Who said that? I saw it with my own eyes!" Zhou Xiao refuted and then continued:
"Before I took over this body, it was picking up trash with a group of beggars around the battlefield."
"If you righteous monks are really so selfless and righteous, then why would you let such a young child scavenge outside?"
"You say you're protecting the people, but what happens after you protect them? Have you made people's lives better?"
"In my opinion, this is just an excuse for you to plunder resources. As for the lives of the people, you righteous monks probably don't care at all."
"That's not like us, the demons. Even though we say we don't care, at least we really don't care at all. Unlike you, hypocrites."
Listening to Zhou Xiao's yelling and cursing, three black lines appeared on Lin Yang's forehead.
He promised that if it weren't for the system task, he would definitely beat up the brat in front of him first and then talk to him properly.
This kid is so infuriating!
Lin Yang took a deep breath and continued:
"You are generalizing. The process of war will certainly bring sorrow and death, but the purpose of war is to bring more happiness and inheritance."
"Yes, you did see a group of children scavenging, but this is the aftermath of the war. All we can do is slowly repair it."
"But how do you know whether more people have been saved because of this? If there hadn't been this war, how many people would have been displaced?"
"We did make mistakes, but you can't just look at the wrong side. Everything in the world has two sides. If you look at things with prejudice, you will only be blinded by one side."
Listening to Lin Yang's endless chatter, Zhou Xiao fell silent.
After a long while, he snorted coldly, "Even if it's really like what you said, so what? I am the devil, you are the righteous, there is a barrier between us after all."
"Also, you've said so many good things about the righteous monks, but what's really good about them? I can't see it at all."
Lin Yang raised the corner of his mouth and continued:
"The difference between good and evil is never based on identity, but on actions. A gentleman judges deeds, not hearts. No one is perfect when it comes to hearts."
