Chapter 580: The Enemy Is Never Innocent; The Rear Determines the Head
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er felt somewhat bewildered.
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s smiling expression, Xu Yao forced a smile and replied, “Sir, please don’t joke around. This is too frightening.”
“Who said I was joking?”
With a smile, Chen Changsheng took out a small hourglass and said, “Before the hourglass runs out, if you can’t provide me with a satisfactory answer, I will have to take your heads.”
“Moreover, I feel that you may have misunderstood something. Just because I am smiling does not mean I cannot k*ll.”
“You are my old friends, but that does not mean I won’t k*ll you.”
“The living beings that have died at my hands, directly or indirectly, number in the millions. Taking your heads is not a burden for me.”
“If you still don’t believe me, you can wait for the hourglass to run out, and you will see for yourselves.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng stood still and waited quietly.
In response, Ma Ling’er immediately said, “Sir, we have never thought of protecting those people.”
“They are in league with the Savage Wilderness; they will always be our enemies in this life and d*ath.”
Facing Ma Ling’er’s words, Chen Changsheng leisurely looked at his palm without giving a reply.
Clearly, Ma Ling’er’s answer did not satisfy him.
At this moment, Xu Yao also spoke up, “Sir, I know you doubt us, and we are willing to submit our loyalty.”
“No matter who is involved in this matter, as long as you give the order, we will definitely take that person’s head.”
Silence!
Chen Changsheng still did not respond.
At this time, both of them were sweating profusely, as they didn’t know what answer Chen Changsheng wanted.
Just then, Jian Fei rushed over from a distance.
Seeing the scene, Jian Fei first froze, then hurriedly said, “Sir, they don’t understand the situation. I will explain the harmful relationships involved to them.”
Upon hearing Jian Fei’s words, Chen Changsheng did not look up and simply said, “I don’t want to talk to you now. If you bother me again, I will cut off your tongue.”
“Aren’t they good at guessing?”
“Then let them guess well what I want.”
Hearing this, Jian Fei anxiously looked at Ma Ling’er and said, “Miss Ma, this matter is quite simple. Think carefully.”
“With your intelligence, you will quickly understand.”
“Smack!”
Chen Changsheng slapped Jian Fei on the shoulder and pulled him aside.
Clearly, Chen Changsheng did not want Jian Fei to say too much.
“Only half the time is left; you need to think faster.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s reminder, Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er became even more anxious.
At this point, Ma Hu also rushed out from the room.
“Sir, I…”
“Get back!”
Ma Hu had just opened his mouth when Chen Changsheng interrupted him. Then, the old sword wrapped in his cloth bag began to tremble.
“If they can’t answer, you will d*e too.”
“If this sword behind me cuts you down, it would be somewhat of a waste, so you’d better roll back and prepare to end your own life.”
“In consideration of our acquaintance, please don’t make it too difficult for me.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s calm eyes, Ma Hu pursed his lips and said, “As per your command, Ma Hu will naturally obey!”
After saying this, Ma Hu retreated back into the room.
Seeing this situation, Ma Ling’er instantly became anxious.
“Xiancha, this matter has nothing to do with my family.”
“I know, but that does not matter. What matters is that you only have one-third of the time left.”
“Swish!”
The Seven Fleeting Swords transformed into seven flying swords aimed at Chen Changsheng.
Looking at the flying swords before him, Chen Changsheng remained calm and showed no defensive actions at all.
“Xiancha, don’t force me.”
Ma Ling’er clenched her fists, and her eyes began to redden.
She knew the price of going against Chen Changsheng, but she couldn’t tolerate her family dying this way, inexplicably.
“You still have one-fourth of the time left.”
“Swish!”
Xu Yao also drew her Black Xuan Sword, pointing it at Chen Changsheng.
“Xiancha, one person does the crime; one person should bear the consequences. We are willing to accept any punishment. Please do not involve others.”
“There’s still eighty breaths of time!”
From beginning to end, Chen Changsheng paid no attention to Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er, just counting down by himself.
Time passed little by little, and as the last grains of sand were about to fall, Xu Yao threw her Black Xuan Sword in frustration and cursed, “MD!”
“Just don’t let me catch that traitorous b*stard; otherwise, I will make sure he meets a terrible end.”
Hearing this, Ma Ling’er also pulled back the Seven Fleeting Swords and said, “Xiancha, after catching those traitors, please execute them slowly in front of my grave; otherwise, I won’t be able to swallow this resentment.”
“To be dragged down by this group of trash, I wouldn’t even d*e content.”
“Smack!”
The hourglass was pushed over by Chen Changsheng, and the last grain of sand ultimately did not fall.
“Congratulations, this answer satisfies me.”
“Explain it to them. I need to save some energy to deal with others.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s order, Jian Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Miss Ma, your earlier thoughts were quite dangerous.”
“As the saying goes, the rear determines the head. You are in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, so everything you do must naturally consider the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”
“If there are traitors in the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, your feelings towards these people can only be hatred.”
“If you have compassion in your hearts, it means you don’t think they did anything wrong, and in the future, you might do the same.”
“Even if you do not have compassion and maintain an indifferent attitude, that is also unacceptable.”
“To put it bluntly, if someone wants to target your family, but you turn a blind eye…”
“Can such a person bear the future of the family?”
After this, Xu Yao and Ma Ling’er realized how big of a mistake they had just made.
Because they had just felt sorry for those people, even harboring a thought of pleading for them.
Seeing the ashamed expressions of the two, Chen Changsheng spoke up.
“In this world, many matters do not have right or wrong; only differing stances exist.”
“I do not evaluate whether their thoughts are right or wrong; I only know that they stand on the opposing side of the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, on my opposing side.”
“Those who stand opposite me, no matter their thoughts or starting points, are always my enemies.”
“Against enemies, I will exterminate them completely.”
“Their existence threatens the ones I care about.”
“If you do not have this notion, then your future is destined to end tragically.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er raised her head and asked, “Xiancha, what about the innocent ones on our opposing side?”
“I just said, those who stand opposite us are enemies.”
“Enemies are never innocent.”
