C35 Cruel Reality

"The Ghost Shadow Sect is different from the Blossoms Palace. Even though it's only a sect that has been rising for the past few hundred years, its internal system is much more complete than the Blossoms Palace. Its overall strength is also much stronger."

Although Lin Xiao's previous words of "walk" sounded very carefree and heroic, it was just the two of them alone. It was like destroying a sect. It was still somewhat difficult. Along the way, Ji Baihua kept explaining all kinds of strange "idiots" questions to Lin Xiao.

These were the answers to Lin Xiao's questions, "Why did a mediocre Ghost Shadow Sect only send out a third of their forces to annihilate the Blossoms Palace?"

Hearing such an explanation, Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "It means that your Blossoms Palace can't even be considered a complete sect."

These words had really poked Ji Baihua's sore spot. She glared at Lin Xiao and said, "Although I really don't want to admit it, it is the truth."

"Why is that so?"

This time, Lin Xiao really humbly asked for guidance. He did not have the slightest bit of mockery.

According to his thoughts, the Blossoms Palace had existed for over a thousand years. Even if it suffered a severe injury, its foundation should be stronger than a tiny Ghost Shadow Sect. Why was it only a few hours ago when the Ghost Shadow Sect attacked the Blossoms Palace? The Blossoms Palace was annihilated?

Ji Baihua revealed a sad expression and said, "In an ordinary sect, there are elders and elders under the Sect Master. After the deacons, there is also the division of inner and outer sect. This is just a simple structure of the sect. Some powerful sects even have some unborn experts guarding them. In the structure of the Ghost Shadow Sect, there were no hidden experts guarding it. Basically, it already had the size of a large sect, but our Blossoms Palace... Ever since that incident, it had been suppressed by the Tao Alliance. In the palace, such as the mother-in-law you saw earlier, whose strength has reached the Soul Formation stage and above. There were more than a dozen of them, enough to crush the Ghost Shadow Sect, but the real problem was... None of them can come out. "

"Even if the sect is destroyed?" Lin Xiao said in disbelief.

In the Cultivation World, the sect was equivalent to their own home, and even their home couldn't be protected. Was there any reason why they didn't come out to protect their home?

Ji Baihua explained, "Because they are too powerful. Any time they come out, they will be discovered by the Tao Alliance. According to the records of the Tao Alliance, they have been dead for hundreds of years."

Lin Xiao finally understood what was going on. To put it bluntly, these people... Because they had offended the Tao Alliance, the Blossoms Palace had somehow managed to save them. They had deceived the Tao Alliance, and it was precisely because of this that they had lived their entire lives. Once they were born, they could only live in the dark. If they were discovered by the Tao Alliance, not only would they find them, but they would also hunt them down endlessly. Because of this, the Blossoms Palace was attacked by all the sects in the Tao Alliance.

Therefore, the actual combat strength of the Blossoms Palace depended on Ji Baihua, the palace master.

"By the way, the Blossoms Palace is gone now. What do you plan to do in the future?" Lin Xiao changed the topic.

Ji Baihua smiled faintly and pointed to a lush and verdant mountain in front of her, as well as the lofty palace on top. She said faintly, "I am not in the mood to destroy it."

Lin Xiao looked at the map and found that they had arrived at the foot of the mountain of Ghost Shadow Sect. He immediately understood the meaning of her words and exclaimed, "What the heck, don't tell me you want to treat this place as the Blossoms Palace..."

"What do you think?" Ji Baihua sneered, "He, Yem Lia, destroyed my Blossoms Palace. He will use his own Ghost Shadow Sect to compensate me. This place is considered not bad."

"What about the Demonic Beast? I have heard that the Demonic Beast in the forest will launch a beast tide from time to time to attack humans."

"Do you know why the Ghost Shadow Sect only used a third of their strength to destroy my Blossoms Palace?"

"Why?"

Regarding this question, Lin Xiao had never thought about it seriously. When the two of them were fighting, he was at the critical moment of advancing to the Golden Core realm. How could he know if the gap between the two of them was huge or small?

If it wasn't for Yem Lia destroying the courtyard he lived in in the end, he might not have come out to help.

Ji Baihua's eyes flickered with a fierce light as she said softly, "That's because, over the years, our Blossoms Palace... It's too peaceful. The disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect have survived. Each of them has fought at least hundreds or thousands of times with the Demonic Beast in the Dark Charm Forest. Their actual combat experience is much greater than the Blossoms Palace's. The strength of the Cultivator is not only in terms of cultivation realm."

"Alright. What do you plan to do now?" Lin Xiao asked. He couldn't just charge forward like this, right?

However, reality proved that his thoughts were always against the truth.

Just as he was thinking about how he should go up the mountain to find Yem Lia, Ji Baihua had already moved.

She tapped her foot lightly, and her entire body turned into a white lightning bolt. It seemed light and light, but in fact, her speed was very fast. Her target was the two disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect who were patrolling at the foot of the mountain.

"Who is it?!"

One of the disciples discovered a fight and shouted. His voice came to an abrupt stop, as his head was floating in the air. After a long time, he finally landed on the ground, and blood splattered all over the ground. And on the ground, there were hundreds of flowers blooming.

"There's an enemy attack!"

After the other disciple recovered from his shock, he could only let out a cry before following in the footsteps of his companion.

Two corpses, two heads, the fresh flowers on the ground, and the bright red color stimulated Lin Xiao's nerves.

To be honest, he had never seen such an exciting scene ever since he came here. Even during the last battle with Yem Lia, he had destroyed Yem Lia's body in the end. But at that time, he had no other choice because he was in a life-and-death situation. After that, Yem Lia's' corpse 'was covered by countless ruins.

From the beginning to the end, whether it was Ji Baihua chasing him or Du Fei and Lin Yutong, after that, he fought Yem Lia and everything that happened in this world. It gave Lin Xiao an illusory feeling. He even felt that he was playing a game.

But now, in the blink of an eye, two corpses were lying coldly in front of him. One of the heads rolled to his feet, waiting for his big brother's eyes to stare at him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little nauseous, as if he wanted to vomit.

Bloody, cruel.

This was the reality of this world.

His face was pale as he shouted at Ji Baihua, "The culprit who destroyed your Blossoms Palace is Yem Lia. Why did you kill them? They are all innocent."

"Innocent?"

As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Ji Baihua turned her head over. She looked at Lin Xiao mockingly, as if she was looking at an innocent child. Her cold voice sounded, "To be honest, sometimes I really wonder if you just came to this world not long ago."

It had to be said that even though Lin Xiao knew that Ji Baihua's original intention was to mock him for leaving her mother's embrace just now and not knowing enough about this world, she still had a good judgment of people.

He said, "Alright, if it's like this, do you really intend to kill all the people of Ghost Shadow Sect?"

"If they stop me." Ji Baihua said faintly.

Lin Xiao was speechless. He felt that he did not know Ji Baihua anymore. In his mind, Ji Baihua was the kind of girl who looked cold on the surface but actually felt warm in her heart.

But now, she was still so beautiful and radiant in front of him. But for some reason, he felt that even her blood was cold.

"I don't know why you have such naive thoughts, but what I want to tell you is... The strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected. This is the principle of this world. This is the law of the Cultivation World. The Ghost Shadow Sect has destroyed the Blossoms Palace. That was because we were too weak. But now, I have killed them. It's because I'm stronger than them. Do you think... Wait! When you get knocked down by the enemy, the enemy will reason with you? "

After saying these words plainly, Ji Baihua's figure moved again because even though her previous attack speed was already fast enough, but it still gave the two disciples the opportunity to send out a message. At this time... There was already a small group of more than ten people rushing over from the mountain.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

Consecutive muffled sounds came from the forest. Lin Xiao did not even need to think to see the outcome of the dozen people.

According to Ji Baihua, the patrolling disciples of Ghost Shadow Sect were only outer circle disciples. These disciples were just wandering soldiers who had just joined the Ghost Shadow Sect. They didn't even have the chance to cultivate the inner force mantra of the Ghost Shadow Sect. Most of them were at the Qi Condensation stage, and there weren't even a few Foundation Stage warriors. How could they be a match for Ji Baihua?

Should they stop her?

Or should he just leave her be?

Lin Xiao didn't know what to do.

Previously, he was filled with hot blood and wanted to destroy the Ghost Shadow Sect, kill Yem Lia, and then continue to explore the continent.

But now, the scene that was happening in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined.

Life was as worthless as grass, a single coin was not worth it.

Is this the law of this world?

If it is, then what should I do?

After coming to this world, Lin Xiao's state of mind changed for the first time, producing self-doubt, making him stop moving forward.

"In your memory, I read a word."

The system appeared out of nowhere, and its voice was still indifferent. "Survival of the fittest, no matter which world it is in, it is the supreme truth."

"Perhaps in your previous world, there was a battle between people There was no such direct, bloody battle, but in reality, have you ever thought about it before? The darkness hidden under the exterior of morality and justice is the most terrifying? "

"But in my previous world, when killing someone, you have to pay with your life" Lin Xiao said in a daze.

"In this world, if you kill someone, you will have to pay with your life." The System said, "This is not the world you used to live in. If you want to live in this world, you have to pay with your life. You have to get used to the way you live here, Yem Lia of Ghost Shadow Sect. He led his disciples to charge into the Blossoms Palace and destroy it. He was the main culprit behind all of this. But have you ever thought about it? Could it be that all the disciples of the Blossoms Palace... Did he kill all of them by himself?"

"But he was the one who gave the order, right?"

"Then, may I ask if these disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect were forced to join the Ghost Shadow Sect?" The cold voice of the system was like a bucket of cold water that was poured on Lin Xiao's head. However, he suddenly became much more clear-headed. The system continued, "No one forced them. So, when they followed Yem Lia to the entrance of the Blossoms Palace... Today's outcome has already been decided, including you. Even if you don't have a single drop of blood on you today, as long as you follow Ji Baihua and stand in front of the mountain gate of the Ghost Shadow Sect... If you are standing in front of Yem Lia, if you can't kill him completely... Then, in the future, will he only seek Ji Baihua for revenge?"

" This... "

Lin Xiao suddenly did not know how to answer.

All the education in the first half of his life told him that killing people was not right. However, reason clearly pointed out that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by becoming more and more callous could one survive.

Was it wrong to live?

The answer was clearly no, but the price of living on was that he had to continuously kill along the way.

This was the cruelty of the cultivation world.

Whether it was Ji Baihua or the System, they gave Lin Xiao one today.
