Chapter 164.1
After arriving at the temporary residence arranged for them by the Blood Devil Sect, Di Yu snorted coldly at Feng Shao, “Well, you brat, you dare to put the pot on my head, don’t you? Believe it or not, I’ll break your leg?”
Feng Shao quickly bowed and apologized, “Please don’t blame me. Senior, just now the junior was in a hurry and acted rashly, please don’t be the same as the junior.”
Lin Xiaoran took Di Yu’s arm and said coquettishly, “Aunt Di, it was only because brother Shao had no other choice! Don’t be angry!”
Di Yu gave Feng Shao a bad look, and said angrily, “If Ran’er didn’t intercede for you, I would have taught you a lesson!”
After saying that, Di Yu walked away in a huff.
Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran looked at each other and smiled.
Han Biyun couldn’t help but ask Feng Shao worriedly, “Senior brother Feng, it doesn’t look like the Blood Devil Patriarch has reached the limit of his lifespan, what should we do?”
The appearance of the Blood Devil Patriarch, no matter how one looked at it didn’t look like he was dying, but he seemed to be rejuvenated.
This made Han Biyun subconsciously think that the Blood Devil Patriarch should have broken through, which caused her to be in a state of confusion. It was also the reason why she didn’t speak much just now.
Listening to her, Feng Shao shook his head, and his expression suddenly became serious, “I’m afraid this matter is not that simple.”Both Han Biyun and Lin Xiaoran looked at Feng Shao in puzzlement.
Feng Shao stood up, looked at the Blood Devil Sect outside the door, and pondered, “The Blood Devil looks like he broke through. But after entering the mountain, did you smell the blood that permeated the whole place? The completely bloody smell of the entire Blood Devil Sect?”
Lin Xiaoran nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, “I thought it was just the blood devil sect’s usual atmosphere, but from brother Shao’s words, it seems that it doesn’t always smell of blood.”
Han Biyun was startled, and then asked, “Senior brother Feng, do you mean to say that the Blood Devil Patriarch used a forbidden technique to restore his lifespan?”
Feng Shao said in a deep voice, “I’m not sure, but senior Di should have verified it. If the Blood Devil Patriarch really did this, then senior Di will also make a move.”
Lin Xiaoran and Han Biyun’s expressions changed upon hearing the words.
If Di Yu needs to take action, then things may be a little troublesome.
The “forbidden techniques” Han Biyun refers to are certain sorceries that are not tolerated by the world, such as sacrificing living people and so on. The reason why the devil dao is not tolerated by the righteous path is because this kind of sorcery commonly exists in devil dao sects.
But under normal circumstances, devil dao sects would not easily use this kind of magic, because it means that they are touching the reverse scale of the righteous sects.
In normal times, although there are constant conflicts between the righteous path and the devil path with occasional casualties, real direct conflicts are actually very rare.
Although righteous sects take exorcising evil spirits and rectifying evil, killing devils and demons as their mission, they still need to give priority to the development of their sects.
If the sect can’t develop, what’s the use of being upright? Therefore, in many cases, righteous sects will try to avoid all-out conflicts with devil dao sects.
As for localized conflicts, they could be regarded as training, which is harmless.
Under the tacit understanding of the two sides, the probability of a full-scale war is actually very small.
No one would lightly start a war without being absolutely sure to eat the opponent in one bite.
Therefore, the righteous and evil sides have always maintained a delicate balance, and there has not been a scene of millions of corpses and blood flowing.
However, there is a premise for this balance, that is, no one should cross the bottom line.
Devil dao sects are okay, basically, there is no bottom line the righteous sects should watch out for. In some respects, in fact, devil dao sects don’t care much about what the righteous sects have done. Generally, it is righteous sects who seek trouble with the devil dao sects and fight with them.
Why? The reason is very simple, that is, devil dao sects cross the bottom line of the righteous sects at every turn!
For example:
If a daoist slaughtered a village, as long as it is not something that would affect them, then in the eyes of the devil dao sects, it is a normal operation. Besides, the village has nothing to do with them, so they won’t be meddling in other’s business.
But if a devil cultivator slaughtered a village, it would be different! In the eyes of the righteous sects, the devil cultivator is killing innocent people indiscriminately! As cultivators of the righteous path, they must act for the heavens and punish the devil cultivator!
Maybe at this time, some people think that those of the devil dao are more sincere and righteous compared to the hypocrisy of the righteous sects, but this is not the case at all.
The reason why there is such a difference between the two is that the righteous path has moral values, while the devil dao has no moral values.
Although life is as insignificant as an ant to a cultivator, human emotions cannot be completely ignored.
When a person’s compassion is completely lost, he will naturally not feel that the life and death of others have anything to do with them.
Just like in today’s world, some people deny the existence of the crimes that happened during massive wars from time to time, but it will arouse the people’s indignation. Even if the people have not experienced those catastrophes, they cannot and must not tolerate this kind of behavior that regards human life as nothing.
This is the difference between good and bad.
Therefore, the devil dao’s behavior, regardless of the righteous path, is not being sincere, but simply because they have no moral concepts at all. Words such as brave and righteous deeds belong to distant legends and fairytales for them.
That’s why, although the Blood Devil Sect is a devil dao sect, as long as their behavior is not too outrageous, the righteous sects don’t care much. But if the Blood Devil Patriarch started performing blood sacrifice in order to prolong his life, it would be tantamount to igniting the fuse!
Everyone would come to kill!
