Volume 1 Chapter 360: Emperor Yun’s Mercy
Then he pointed at Jue Yan and said calmly: "If you meet someone like him in the future, don't listen to what he says or does. Just raise your hammer and hammer him to death. Every hit will hit the target. No one is innocent."
"Ah?" Xuanyuan Dabing and Jueyan screamed at the same time. Dabing shouted: "Your Majesty, this..."
Jue Yan fell to the ground, his heart, which had just calmed down, was hanging in the air again, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Xiang Yun looked at him coldly and said calmly, "What's so pitiful about a man like him who has no backbone and is willing to be a slave just to survive? Today he has taken refuge with you. If he encounters danger in the future, he will definitely retaliate. Keeping him by your side will only cause more trouble!
Moreover, this person was able to do such a thing in such a short time, he must be quick-witted, extremely intelligent, and full of cunning; look at the blood on his head, so tragic, it makes people feel soft-hearted and kind. This person can be so cruel to himself, if you become his enemy, he will only be more ruthless!
How can we keep such a ruthless and rebellious person?"
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Dabing was horrified. Looking at Jue Yan again, he felt that he was extremely scary and cunning like the wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and was truly vicious.
Jue Yan was also shocked all over, looking at Xiang Yun as if he were a monster. He really didn't know why the other party could see through his inner thoughts with just one glance.
Xiang Yun added: "You are very smart, but your cleverness may backfire. If you had refused to surrender today and been beaten half-paralyzed by Da Bing, and then requested to surrender, I might have looked at you differently and rewarded you with a general. Unfortunately... you are too impatient."
Jue Yan's heart suddenly sank, and at the same time he agreed with Xiang Yun's words very much. Now that things had come to this point, he was extremely angry and wanted to fight to the death, but when he saw the five-clawed golden dragon in the sky, he calmed down.
Jue Yan thought back to what Xiang Yun had just said, and suddenly realized where his way out was. In an instant, the begging look on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a look of determination to die. His eyes were firm and resolute, and he slowly stood up and looked directly at Xiang Yun.
He said in a deep voice: "In fact, I am not afraid of death. After entering the world of cultivation, I have my own awareness and have long put death aside. I just made a wrong choice in my life and offended you. Now I am not as skilled as you, so I have nothing to say. If you want to kill me, then kill me!
But I have done so much today, I have humbled myself, and it is not for myself! "
Jue Yan spoke sincerely, and then pointed at the Kuangba Sect disciples around him and said: "They are all my disciples. How can we not have feelings for each other after living together day and night? It is my fault that I offended you. I really don't want to drag them to be buried with me. They are still... young..."
As Jue Yan spoke, his tone became increasingly high and intense, and he even roared out loud: "You can't die in such an unclear way like this!"
Jue Yan's tone softened again, and he pleaded, "You can take my life yourself, please show mercy and spare the life of my disciple!"
"In this way, I can die without regrets!"
Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Do you think you have the qualifications to talk to me? Leaving them here will only cause trouble to my Great Yun Empire. Wouldn't it be fair to kill them all? For me, it's just a matter of a thought, and it won't be a problem."
Jue Yan shuddered and shouted quickly, "I didn't hurt a single civilian in the capital of the Great Sun Dynasty the other day. Why are you repaying my kindness with resentment today?"
Xiang Yun smiled again, nodded and said: "You are really a man of integrity, risking your life to save your disciple. I admire your righteousness."
Hearing this, Jue Yan's heart became unstable, his eyes flickered, and a hint of joy came out of him, but he quickly restrained it.
Xiang Yun then said to Da Bing, "I'll teach you another lesson. This man is really smart. He sacrificed his own life for the lives of many. You see, he is righteous. He retreated to advance. He won my appreciation and saved his own life."
Xuanyuan Dabing didn't understand and just frowned without saying anything. Jue Yan indeed took two steps back and became even more afraid of Xiang Yun. He didn't even want to stay there any longer and looked around frantically, trying to see if there was a way to escape.
Xiang Yun continued, "If you hadn't begged for mercy just now, I would have believed your righteousness and spared your life. It's such a pity."
Jue Yan was desperate and couldn't find a way to escape. He made up his mind and pretended to be stupid. He said in a trembling voice: "Every word I said just now was sincere. There is no lie. Why do you have to think so complicated about people's hearts and make me panic and scared?"
With this, his panicked look of looking around just now was concealed. As if sincerely, Xiang Yun smiled and said, "It's so simple. I promise you that I will spare the life of the disciple of Kuangba Sect."
Jue Yan was not happy but surprised when he heard this. Xiang Yun took out a spiritual dagger and threw it in front of him, saying coldly: "Please kill yourself!"
At this moment, Jue Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Cold sweat soaked his whole body and even slid down from his forehead, continuously dripping onto the sharp blade of the spiritual dagger.
There was silence all around. The disciples of the Kuangba Sect also held their breath and dared not speak at this moment. They also wanted to see what choice Jue Yan would make and what Jue Yan was thinking in his heart.
Jue Yan, who was tall and muscular, looked like a lonely little boy at this moment, shivering and feeling extremely helpless.
Although he didn't want the disciples of Kuangba Sect to die, he didn't want to die either!
Xiang Yun did not speak to urge him, but waited quietly. Time passed bit by bit. Suddenly, Xuanyuan Dabing seemed to have figured something out, and said slowly: "Just go ahead. Your disciples are all heroes. If His Majesty says not to kill them, we will definitely not kill them. We will take them all in and train them into the strongest Fire Cloud Army. We will never lose face for your Kuangba Sect."
Xuanyuan Dabing meant well, but to Jue Yan it sounded ironic and made him even angrier.
But under pressure, he had to slowly grasp the spiritual dagger, take deep breaths, raise it high with slight trembling, and slowly move it towards his neck.
The blade was sharp and cold, and the closer it was to his neck, the faster his breathing became and the more cold sweat he produced.
Finally, the dagger was placed on his neck. Jue Yan closed his eyes tightly, wanting to ruthlessly slash him. However, when he thought about his high position, strong cultivation, and the fact that he was far from fifty years old, he was unwilling to die like this.
A strong feeling of reluctance filled his heart. He only needed to make a slight stroke of his hand and everything would be over. However, he just stood there motionless.
"Bang!" With a slight sound, the spiritual dagger fell to the ground. Jue Yan still didn't have the courage to die. He dropped the spiritual dagger and immediately kowtowed to Xiang Yun and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong. I hope Emperor Yun will have mercy and give me a way to live!"
This time his tone was sincere and genuine, and it was not fake after all. The Kuangba Sect disciples around him felt blocked and depressed, and felt that their leader was not a hero and had low spirits. However, they also understood him very well, after all, no one wanted to die. Under this contradictory emotion, everyone's affection and respect for the Sect Leader Jue Yan was fading rapidly.
