1582 What Dao?

After his body was suddenly pierced through and the sharp sword passed through his chest, the intense pain made Jing Ruge’s mind go blank for a few seconds.

When intense pain rushed into Jing Ruge’s mind, he realized that he was injured.

Jing Ruge lowered his eyes and looked at the sword in his chest. It was the spirit sword that he had personally accompanied Zhang Zhanyi to find after they graduated from the inner academy and asked Master Duan Fen to refine it.

Zhang Zhanyi named it the Eternal Sword.

Back then, Jing Ruge thought that Zhang Zhanyi named the spiritual sword ‘Eternal Sword’ to commemorate their pure relationship. Now, it seemed that the eternal love in her heart wasn’t for him, but Yin Mingjue.

Jing Ruge never expected that one day, his blood would dye the sword red.

But the dark red blood and the intense pain made Jing Ruge feel despair and heartbroken.

Jing Ruge looked up in shock and saw that the person holding the sword was really Zhang Zhanyi, who had slept with him for more than a hundred years. His eyes were filled with disbelief. “You… Zhang Zhanyi, you actually injured me with the Eternal Sword…”

She really had no love for him.

When Zhang Zhanyi looked into Jing Ruge’s blood-red eyes, she hesitated.

When Old Madam Jing saw this scene, her gaze darkened and she couldn’t stand steadily anymore.

“Madam Zhang, how dare you hurt my son?!”

Qingxi noticed that Old Madam Jing had lost her composure and hurriedly leaned over to support her arm.

Avoiding Jing Ruge’s gaze, Zhang Zhanyi turned to look at the enraged Madam Jing. A sinister smile appeared on her lips, and she stabbed the Changyi Sword deeper into Jing Ruge’s body as she said, “I’ll definitely die today, but Madam, even if I die, I’ll drag your son down with me!”

Nothing made Jing Ruge more disheartened than stabbing him with the Eternal Sword.

Zhang Zhanyi stared at Jing Ruge in a daze and asked in a low voice, “All these years, I’ve been thinking that if it wasn’t for your brotherhood, perhaps Yin Mingjue would have accepted me. Jing Ruge, die with me!”

Zhang Zhanyi said that she wanted to drag Jing Ruge down with her, but she pulled out the Eternal Sword from Jing Ruge’s body to cut her own throat.

Panic flashed across Jing Ruge’s eyes.

At this moment, red spiritual energy flashed and wrapped around the spiritual sword, successfully stopping Zhang Zhanyi from committing suicide.

Zhang Zhanyi raised her head in shock and saw Yu Huang in front of her.

Yu Huang held Zhang Zhanyi’s spirit sword tightly as she sneered and said, “Madam Jing, won’t it be too easy on you by letting you slit your throat?”

Zhang Zhanyi’s lips trembled as she asked in a quivering voice, “What do you want?”

Yu Huang suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Xianli as she said, “Mr. Zhang, Zhang Zhanyi caused my mother to lose her physical body and suffer for 30 years. If I insist on imprisoning her soul in a puppet body and sealing the puppet at the bottom of the Ice Blazing Flame City of the Cang Lang Continent to make her endure the pain of her soul being roasted for 30 years, will the Zhang family have any objections to this arrangement?”

When she heard this, Zhang Zhanyi’s pupils dilated.

The way Zhang Xianli looked at Yu Huang changed. He probably didn’t expect Prime Emperor Divine Miracle’s beautiful disciple to think of such a cruel method.

Zhang Xianli said after some deliberation, “Madam Yu Huang, we are all righteous path cultivators. Refining people into puppets is too inhumane, and it is against the moral principles of us righteous path cultivators. Zhang Zhanyi is a vicious woman punishable by death. But you are young, and you are a disciple of a famous sect, so you should walk the righteous path. Look…”

Before Zhang Xianli could finish reading, he was interrupted by Yu Huang.

“Mr. Zhang, don’t talk to me about human nature or the righteous path, the demonic path, or the evil Ghost Dao. In my heart, there is only the path of revenge!” She glanced at Zhang Xianli from the corner of her eye and said with a mocking smile, “Could it be that I can only allow your family to bully my mother, but you won’t allow me to use the same cruel method to take revenge on Zhang Zhanyi? Then I want to ask, what kind of path is the Zhang family?”

“I think it’s tyranny!”

Zhang Xianli was rendered speechless by Yu Huang’s words. When Sr. Song and the other experts looked at him with gazes filled with condemnation, he realized that the Zhang family was really unable to protect Zhang Zhanyi this time.

He couldn’t even leave her a complete corpse.

Zhang Xianli stared at his niece, Zhang Zhanyi, then at Jing Ruge and Old Madam Jing. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of stopping Yu Huang, he understood their attitude.

The Jing family wouldn’t protect Zhang Zhanyi.

If the Zhang family insisted on objecting to Yu Huang’s suggestion, they might even be considered accomplices.

Zhang Xianli closed his eyes tightly, as if he did not see Zhang Zhanyi’s plea for help, and said hoarsely, “The Zhang family has no objections.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhanyi knelt on the ground.

She was prepared to die, but this did not mean that she was willing to be refined into a puppet by Yu Huang, have her soul bound to the puppet’s body and roasted by the flames.

Zhang Zhanyi crawled to Zhang Xianli on all fours. Then, she grabbed Zhang Xianli’s suit pants forcefully and kept kowtowing and crying. “Uncle, my parents died for the Zhang family. They are the heroes of the Zhang family. I am the descendant of heros. You can’t leave me in the lurch!”

It would have been better if she had not mentioned her heroic parents, but at the mention of them, Zhang Xianli felt even more disappointed.

Zhang Xianli pulled his leg out of Zhang Zhanyi’s arm forcefully. Then, he quickly took a few steps back and shook his head at Zhang Zhanyi. “Zhanyi, at this point, don’t slander your heroic parents anymore. If they were still alive and knew what you had done, they would probably make the same decision as me.”

When Zhang Zhan felt that Zhang Xianli really planned to give up on her, she sat there in a daze for a moment before crawling to Jing Ruge on her knees.

At this moment, blood was flowing out of Jing Ruge’s chest. It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but Zhang Zhanyi’s sword happened to avoid Jing Ruge’s heart and Beast Heart and passed through them.

Therefore, Jing Ruge’s wound looked bloody, but it wasn’t fatal.

At this moment, Qingxi was healing Jing Ruge.

The delirious Jing Ruge sensed that someone was holding his hand tightly and begged him for help with tears in his eyes. “Ruge, Ruge, save me. You said that you would protect me forever, Ruge!”

Jing Ruge could vaguely tell that it was Zhang Zhanyi, but he remained indifferent.

Not only that, but he even felt a little disgusted.
