Chapter 17: Fairy of Mercy



The woman who walked into the cell was out of place in the dark and gloomy environment.

She is dressed in black and green gauze, graceful and elegant, like Ruan Zhixiang orchid, with a pure heart and a jade reflection.

Her long black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, her face was blurred, only her eyes were extremely beautiful, clear and pure, without any worldly dust, yet seemed to have pity for everything in the world.

Chen Kuang was stunned.

It's nothing, this woman is just too beautiful.

It is obvious that the bright moon is my predecessor, looking back it becomes a smile, cold and detached for thousands of years.

This poem suddenly flashed through his mind.

The woman was clearly not smiling, and her true face couldn't even be seen clearly, but Chen Kuang felt that this line of poetry was very appropriate.

I guess even if she smiled, she would be extremely cold.

Chu Wenruo could be called a national beauty, but she was only as beautiful as these eyes.

I wonder how beautiful the face under the green veil would be?

Without any words, Chen Kuang immediately knew that this woman must be one of the two immortal masters guarding the Heavenly Prison.

Chen Kuang took a deep breath and did not speak immediately. He was wondering what the attitude of this immortal master would be and how he could provoke him to the greatest extent.

The woman walked in slowly and the door of the prison closed.

"Bang."

The entire sky prison was completely plunged into darkness.

The woman in black now blended into the darkness. Her beautiful and cold eyes were extremely calm. It didn't seem like she was surrounded by darkness, but more like... she had dyed everything around her black.

Chen Kuang's heart skipped a beat for unknown reason.

It was so quiet… He realized that there was no sound in the cell.

The sound of the wind, the snoring, the chirping of insects, the friction of clothes and straw, all disappeared!

Only a soft female voice was left nearby.

"You're waiting for me."

Shen Xingzhu walked in front of Chen Kuang, looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and said lightly:

"So I came—"

"Let's see who this mortal is who could deceive Li Hongling and instigate Wei Su without even meeting him. Who is he?"

Shen Xingzhu met his eyes, and her gaze seemed a little curious and disappointed.

I'm curious, "If you're not blind, how could you fool Li Hongling into thinking you were? Blindness isn't something you can disguise with a single acting skill, unless you were blind originally and are now healthy."

What was disappointing was "It turns out that you are not an ordinary person, but a cultivator. However, your strength is a little lacking, and you are very courageous."

Just these few words made Chen Kuang feel creepy, his teeth clenched, and his muscles tensed up.

Just like birds and rabbits encountering jackals, wolves and cheetahs, they instinctively want to escape.

But what made him feel even colder, to the point where he didn't dare to move at all, was...

Huo Hengxuan next to him also stopped moving.

From the moment this woman came in, the entire prison fell silent.

Chen Kuang didn't dare to turn around to see what happened to Huo Hengxuan. Was he asleep, or...

"Don't worry."

Shen Xingzhu seemed to see through his thoughts and actually started to explain:

"I don't kill people, nor do I save people. The war between Zhou and Liang has nothing to do with me. It should be left to the people of the two countries to resolve on their own."

Her tone was calm, and her voice was soft and gentle, making her seem easy to talk to.

But judging from the fact that she exposed all of Chen Kuang's disguises as soon as she came in, if you really think she is a person who is consistent in appearance and heart, you will be in big trouble.

This woman must be the kind of ruthless person who can talk to you calmly one second and stab a knife into your heart the next.

Chen Kuang was silent for a moment, and simply asked:

"Since Immortal Master neither kills nor saves people, why does he appear on this battlefield to guard the Heavenly Prison for General Li?"

Shen Xingzhu lowered his eyes and said:

"My Xuanshen Dao sect is compassionate and respects morality. We only follow our own path. We hope to use this path as a boat to help people realize the meaning of the world. If people don't listen, I won't persuade them."

"I came here not to defend the city, but to quell the war."

Chen Kuang couldn't help but ask, "Stop the war? How?"

Shen Xingzhu said calmly: "Preaching - if you are destined, you will understand my way."

Chen Kuang: “…”

He twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although I have long known that there must be all kinds of strange and bizarre "Tao" in the world of high-level martial arts, this is a bit too outrageous.

What a kind fairy!

It turns out that her way is to talk to you about some principles and then let you figure it out on your own.

Whether you can understand it or not, and whether you follow her teachings or not, has nothing to do with her...

It's really quite high and mighty.

So magical! So fairy-like!

It's simply the ultimate expression of hypocrisy.

Chen Kuang felt a little angry for some reason and asked again:

"Master, is your compassion just about moving yourself? Aren't there innocent people suffering from the war right before your eyes? If you can't persuade the culprit, can't you save these people?"

Shen Xingzhu's eyes fell on his legs and said:

"You mean... yourself?"

"I say, in this world, the people of Liang State, millions of people have died under the iron hooves of the Black Armored Army. Could it be that Immortal Master turned a blind eye?!"

Chen Kuang took a deep breath and felt an unfamiliar emotion rising from deep within his body.

This should belong to the original Chen Kuang.

He is from Liang.

As a victim, he was naturally furious when he saw a person who had the ability to prevent the demise of Liang State standing idly by and yet speaking condescendingly of mercy.

Shen Xingzhu's expression did not change, he seemed to be thinking:

"I see. This is why you deceived Li Hongling and provoked Wei Su."
