"It's just that you're afraid to face your past self... you're just running away."
"Someone like you... dares to call yourself the Human Emperor? How laughable."
"Even if I, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, were to remain Su Bai's lackey... I would never... aid and abet evil, nor would I, Ouyang Yun, be your... henchman who harms all living beings in the world!"
The woman in the red robe remained silent.
The surrounding violent aura also subsided at this moment.
"...It really is a magic weapon... devoid of emotions and desires... But I'm curious, since you've already seen through my plan to test your heart, why did you suddenly unleash such powerful sword energy?"
"If I'm not mistaken... you do indeed harbor resentment towards Su Bai right now?"
"But you... dare not face this state of mind. How... could it be that even the legendary Immortal-Slaying Sword, one of the Emperor's Swords, dares not face itself?"
"Or are you willing to... go against your own heart and fall into inner demons for the sake of an ant that is not even worthy of being called an immortal?"
Ouyang Yun sneered, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
It seems... that I have already guessed her current state of mind.
"Resentment? Of course I have it, who doesn't? But what can resentment do?"
"For the sake of my vast human race, even if I were to perish on the spot, I would have no regrets, let alone this... tiny bit of resentment!"
"But... that only applies to Su Bai. As for you... well, I'm sorry, I... won't hold a grudge at all, because you don't deserve it!"
The woman in the red robe sneered.
"Heh, interesting. As expected of one of the Emperor's Swords, its power is indeed extraordinary."
Above the sky.
Ouyang Yun's expression was rather unpleasant.
However... the red-robed woman's hurtful words could not shake his resolve.
After all... he was an immortal who had passed the test of conscience and comprehended... the Law of Conscience!
"Compared to you, he is indeed not simple... but compared to him, he is nothing."
"I am willing to acknowledge him as my master, not for any other reason... but for the countless human karmas he carries... that is enough for me to follow him to the death!"
The woman in the red robe continued her cold mockery.
After saying a few words to him, Ouyang Yunzhi realized he couldn't sway his mind, so he simply disappeared.
"Ha, coward, a coward who only knows how to run away... Is that all you've got? You dare to question the Law of the Heart?"
"In my opinion, these so-called principles of self-examination are mostly just a bunch of second-rate, worthless rules!"
"Don't you think so, Su Bai?"
The woman in the red robe sneered.
She turned her head and saw that the thin figure that had been moving forward had stopped at some point, and was surrounded by ethereal and otherworldly aura.
This scene made her frown.
But when she looked around, she had a knowing look on her face.
So, we've entered the Third Heaven Realm.
"His strength was already on the verge of a breakthrough, and his swordsmanship had reached the level of entering the immortal realm... The even denser immortal energy here will naturally allow his cultivation to... advance another step!"
The woman in the red robe had a glint in her eyes.
The next moment, she had a sudden thought and instinctively swung a sword beam to the side.
Sizzle...
As the longsword pierced his body, a fat cultivator who had been hiding in the void was suddenly revealed.
