"Afterward, I searched for the whereabouts of these four bone demons and came to the Water Marsh Country in the Central Continent."
Listening to Mo Qian's account, Mu Qingqing and Xin Ci, within the consciousness space, couldn't help but sigh at Mo Qian's tragic experiences.
Mo Qian pulled out the Mo Ye Sword planted in the ground but did not put it into his Sumeru Ring.
Instead, he turned to Mu Qingqing and Luo Ningshuang and questioned them coldly, "Senior, and you, do the two of you owe me an explanation for letting those three bone demons escape?!"
Hearing Mo Qian's words, Mu Qingqing also found it strange and looked towards Luo Ningshuang.
She had indeed seen this Senior Sister Luo desperately trying to stop Mo Qian from killing the bone demons earlier.
What made Mu Qingqing even more bewildered was,
Didn't Luo Ningshuang deeply hate the Nether God Race and their demonic creatures?
Why had she suddenly changed her tune and started protecting those three bone demons?!
Faced with the gazes of Mu Qingqing and Mo Qian, Luo Ningshuang lowered her head and fell into silence for a moment.
After a long pause, Luo Ningshuang finally raised her head and said weakly, "Those three bone demons are my family. I couldn't just watch them die, so..."
"Family?"
Mu Qingqing was somewhat surprised.
However, Mo Qian suddenly grabbed Luo Ningshuang's collar in anger and said sternly, "They are no longer your family! They are demonic weapons, and furthermore, they are our enemies!"
"No, they've only been infiltrated by demonic souls. There's still hope for them to be saved," Luo Ningshuang continued to make excuses for her family, unable to bring herself to be ruthless.
However, Mu Qingqing shook her head and explained, "There is no hope for them to be saved."
"That's impossible. Junior Sister, you asked me to bring them back to the Shengxin Holy Court. My Master will surely have a way."
"Senior Sister Luo, as a disciple of the Shengxin Holy Court, you must know that demonic weapons are man-made killing monsters refined by the Nether God Race."
"If the demonic soul hasn't fully merged with the host's body, there might still be hope for recovery. But as for those three bone demons, your family, you saw their faces and bodies are no longer human-like."
"In other words, they have already become complete demonic weapons!"
Although saying this was cruel to Luo Ningshuang, it was the truth, and Mu Qingqing could do nothing about it.
Luo Ningshuang couldn't accept it for a moment, tears flowing down again. She cried out heartbrokenly, "I don't believe it! They can definitely be saved! Junior Sister Mu, believe me, Master will surely have a way..."
"Wake up!"
Mo Qian released Luo Ningshuang's collar, but he truly couldn't stand hearing her words. He stared into her eyes, his face contorted, and roared at her, "Do you know what you're saying?!"
"If your family, who have become demonic weapons, can be forgiven and saved, then how can the countless innocent civilians who died in my Moyuan Empire be accounted for?"
"Don't forget, my hometown, the Moyuan Empire, was razed to the ground and its people massacred by your so-called family. Among those who died were the elderly and women and children."
"You have your family, but doesn't everyone else have family too? Yet their loved ones were brutally murdered by your three monstrous family members! And not just one or two, but tens of millions of lives from the entire Moyuan Empire!"
Mo Qian's voice grew more agitated, veins bulging on his forehead.
Having survived the disaster in the Moyuan Empire back then, he knew all too well the catastrophe those bone demons had brought to his homeland.
Therefore, he would never forgive those three bone demons, no matter what, and was determined to eradicate them completely!
Yet, the Luo Ningshuang before him wanted to stop him. Enraged, Mo Qian clenched his fists.
But he still didn't strike. Instead, he slammed his fist hard onto the ground.
Mo Qian's eyes turned crimson, and he shouted in frustration, "Damn it!"
Luo Ningshuang was stunned by Mo Qian's impassioned words.
At this moment, she didn't know what to do. Her heart was in turmoil, unable to find a resolution.
Luo Ningshuang had always detested all Nether God demonic creatures and the Nether God Race, but now her family had become what she detested the most, yet she couldn't bring herself to strike them.
Between the great cause of eradicating Nether God evils and saving innocent people, and her selfish desire to protect her family,
Luo Ningshuang found herself unable to make a choice. She could only shed tears and look at Mu Qingqing with a pained and confused expression, sobbing, "Junior Sister Mu, are complete demonic weapons truly unable to revert to their original forms? And what should I do..."
For her, making a choice was an extremely difficult task.
Although Luo Ningshuang's tear-streaked face was heart-wrenching,
Mu Qingqing was also powerless and could only stand there in silence.
Luo Ningshuang's family had already become complete demonic weapons. She truly had no way to turn those three bone demons back to their original forms.
Even if Mu Qingqing had the means to do so, the fact that those three bone demons had slaughtered a large number of innocent civilians in the Moyuan Empire was undeniable, and Mu Qingqing didn't know what to do either.
At this moment, Mo Qian broke the deadlock.
He turned his back to Luo Ningshuang and Mu Qingqing. He sheathed the Mo Ye Sword into his Sumeru Ring and said coldly, "I am going to kill those three bone demons now. If you want to stop me, then come!"
Luo Ningshuang was startled and instinctively wanted to call out to him.
But the hand she had extended suddenly stopped in mid-air. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken, and her eyes dimmed.
What Mo Qian had said earlier was indeed true. Although she was in pain now, Mo Qian was no less so.
He carried the hatred of the entire Moyuan Empire. What right did she have to stop him?
After a moment of silence, Luo Ningshuang made a decision in her heart.
Then, she stood up from the ground, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said with a resolute expression, "Wait, I'll go with you!"
But Mo Qian seemed not to hear her. He walked straight ahead without turning back to answer her.
Luo Ningshuang insisted, "I won't stop you. Please let me go with you!"
Only then did Mo Qian pause, glance back at Luo Ningshuang, and say indifferently, "As you wish."
After speaking, he turned around and continued walking forward. Luo Ningshuang also mustered her spirits and followed.
"Wait a moment."
Mu Qingqing, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke, calling out to them.
Both Luo Ningshuang and Mo Qian turned their heads in confusion, looking at Mu Qingqing.
"Senior?"
"Junior Sister Mu?"
"Is there something else?"
They both asked in unison.
Mu Qingqing calmly said, "Nothing much. I'm just suddenly very curious, do you know where that bone demon is now?"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian and Luo Ningshuang froze on the spot.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Mu Qingqing knew their current situation and felt a surge of speechlessness.
No way,
So neither of you two know where the bone demon is?
And Mo Qian, how did you manage to walk forward so coolly just now?
It made me think you actually knew where those three bone demons were.
Mu Qingqing couldn't help but inwardly complain.
