Chapter 2795: Departure
Perhaps it was because the female ape was protecting her son with all her might that he felt compa.s.sionate.
Perhaps it was because the sight of the Sanguine Ape race reminded him of Monkey.
Or perhaps he had an inexplicable resistance towards the Evil Fiend Battlefield…
In short, Su Zimo did not want to hurt them.
Su Zimo took out some healing medicine from his storage bag and placed them in front of the female ape under her puzzled gaze.
He roughly explained how to consume the medicine.
The female ape looked at Su Zimo, still somewhat in disbelief.
These living beings from the outside world wanted to kill them in exchange for
Battle Merits. Why was this person so kind?
Su Zimo did not explain either. Suddenly, a few green lights shot out from his fingertip and entered the female ape’s body instantly.
That action was extremely fast and by the time the female ape reacted, it was already too late!
The female ape was enraged and thought that Su Zimo was casting a Dharmic curse on her. The blood glint in her eyes shone once more as she bared her teeth at Su Zimo, wanting to injure him.
However, before long, the female ape’s killing intent calmed down with a bewildered expression.
The green lights contained immense lifeforce and did not harm her at all. After entering her body, they healed her injuries rapidly!
Even the wound on her thigh that was corroded by a curse technique began to develop some tender flesh, showing signs of gradual improvement as her bloodline circulated.
At that moment, the female ape finally understood that the human cultivator was healing her!
The female ape knelt on the ground and clasped her hands, kowtowing to Su Zimo repeatedly with an emotional expression.
The young monkey seemed to have sensed Su Zirno’s goodwill as well and ran circles around his feet, squeaking.
Su Zimo looked into the young monkey’s clear and pitch-black eyes.
Those eyes were so innocent and devoid of hatred.
In fact, it did not even know that the moment it was born, it carried the burden of a Sin Spirit and could be killed at any moment in exchange for Battle Merits!
Su Zimo was helpless against their fates.
He sighed internally and remained silent for a moment before turning to leave. Su Zimo arrived beside Lin Xunzhen and Beiming Xue and the three of them walked side by side towards the exit of the cave.
Lin Xunzhen did not say anything about Su Zirno’s decision.
After a while, she suddenly said, “Peak Master Su, the Evil Fiend Battlefield is not a suitable place for you.”
Su Zimo was silent.
Lin Xunzhen continued, “The reason why we entered the Evil Fiend Battlefield was to kill the the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits. The righteous and evil are irreconcilable!”
“Even if you save that Sanguine Ape today, she will repay kindness with ingrat.i.tude if we meet again in the future! Evil Fiends are Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits are Sin Spirits. What do they know about human nature?”
“Perhaps.”
Su Zimo did not argue and merely replied indifferently.
Right then, voices sounded from outside the cave.
“Everyone, do you believe that Peak Master Su Zhu will definitely let that beast go?”
It was Shen Yue’s voice.
Although they were separated by the cave, the Green Lotus True Body’s hearing was extremely strong and he could still hear Shen Yue’s voice clearly.
w.a.n.g Dong lowered his voice and said, “So be it. It’s just ten Battle Merits. It’s not a big deal. It’s fine as long as there’s no internal strife between all of us.” Shen Yue harrumphed coldly. “All of you saw it earlier on. He actually fought with me for that beast. What’s the meaning of this?”
“As the Peak Master of a peak in the Sword World, does he treat us as disciples of the same world?”
w.a.n.g Dong persuaded, “Brother Shen, you’re exaggerating. Peak Master Su isn’t targeting you. It’s just that the situation was critical and we didn’t have time to communicate. He could only save the female ape first.”
Qin Zhong suddenly said, “Actually, I feel that Peak Master Su Zhu is like a burden in our team and seems a little redundant.”
■■Not to mention that he can’t help much in combat, we have to spend more than half of our energy taking care of him.”
Pausing for a moment, Qin Zhong added, “Of course, it’s our duty to protect our fellow disciples. However, because of him and Junior Sister Beiming, we 11 lose many opportunities to obtain Battle Merits.
“That’s nothing.”
Monk Jue Jian said in a deep voice, “From my observations, it’s mainly because Peak Master Su Zhu is very scholarly and benevolent. He doesn’t seem like someone who is decisive in killing, even when dealing with the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits.”
“It’s acceptable for us to release a beast today. However, what should we do the next time we encounter any Evil Fiends and Peak Master Su Zhu becomes benevolent and wants to let them go as well?”
When he heard that, even w.a.n.g Dong fell silent.
Right then, w.a.n.g Dong seemed to have sensed that Lin Xunzhen, Su Zimo and Beiming Xue were about to walk out of the cave and instructed hurriedly, “Stop talking.”
Before long, Su Zimo and the other two arrived outside the cave. Su Zimo looked at w.a.n.g Dong, Shen Yue and the others. “I didn’t kill that female ape…”
“Ha!”
Shen Yue could not help but sneer. “See, what did I say?!”
w.a.n.g Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others frowned.
Qin Zhong could not help but say as well, “Peak Master Su Zhu, we came to the Evil Fiend Battlefield to fight and obtain Battle Merits for your Sword Burial Peak.”
“That’S ten Battle Merits for that female ape, but you let her go just like that. Isn’t it a little…”
“Fellow Daoist Qin, you are right.”
Su Zimo nodded and removed the Blessed Heaven World Badge from his waist, handing it to Lin Xunzhen. “There are ten Battle Merits on it. It’s equivalent to the female ape’s life, right?”
“Hmm?”
Everyone focused their gazes and saw that Su Zirno’s Blessed Heaven World Badge had 20 Battle Merits.
in other words, apart from the ten Battle Merits that Lin Xunzhen gave him initially, Su Zimo also obtained ten Battle Merits himself!
Right from the beginning, no one knew how Su Zimo got those ten Battle Merits!
“Alright, alright.”
w.a.n.g Dong hurriedly stood out to smooth things over and said with a smile, “That’s good. With these ten Battle Merits, it’s equivalent to killing that female ape.”
Lin Xunzhen, Gong Sunyu, Shen Yue and the others did not say anything and the atmosphere turned cold.
A moment later, Shen Yue suddenly said, “Peak Master Su Zhu, I might have offended you in my words earlier on. Please forgive me.
“However, I still want to say something. Why don’t you and Junior Sister Beiming leave first?”
“Fufu…”
Beiming Xue could tell the disdain in the hearts of Shen Yue and the others and did not argue. She merely sneered and said to Su Zimo, “Master, let’s go! w.a.n.g Dong had a helpless expression and could only laugh bitterly. He said tactfully, “Peak Master Su Zhu, Junior Sister Beiming, don’t worry. The Evil Fiend Battlefield is too dangerous after all. At the very least, you won’t be in any danger when you return to the Blessed Heaven World.”
Su Zimo was silent.
Actually, the reason why he entered the Evil Fiend Battlefield was partly because he was curious and wanted to take a look. On the other hand, he wanted to protect the Perfected Immortals of the Sword World.
Now that he knew the true thoughts of everyone, Su Zimo no longer insisted. With Lin Xunzhen leading the Sword World team and the Myriad Sword Formation, they should not be in any danger in the Evil Fiend Battlefield. At that thought, Su Zimo cupped fists slightly. “In that case, I’ll bid farewell to everyone and wait for your triumphant return in the Blessed Heaven World.”
“Alright!”
“Peak Master Su is wise!”
When they saw Su Zimo agree to leave, Shen Yue, Qin Zhong and the others were invigorated and could not help but praise. The worry on their faces dissipated rapidly.
Everyone felt relieved and could not suppress the excitement in their hearts. Without Su Zhu and Beiming Xue, it was equivalent to getting rid of a huge burden.
They could finally let loose and display their skills to kill to their hearts’ content in the Evil Fiend Battlefield!
