Luluwei tilted her head too, feeling that Lu Cang hadn't done anything wrong.
If someone tried to kill you, what was wrong with defending yourself?
Even if they belonged to the Life Church, they were no exception.
Leng Qingying replied to Lu Cang with utmost seriousness. "It shouldn't be like this."
"I don't think you would have killed them so decisively before."
"Lu Cang, could it be... that you've been corrupted too?"
Lu Cang said, "Leng Qingying, I've never liked people trying to kill me."
As Leng Qingying asked this, Lu Cang also looked inward at his sea of consciousness.
Golden towers and jade halls rose within the vast Cloud Palace Sea of Consciousness. Its magnificent radiance filled the expanse. There wasn't the slightest sign of corruption.
If it had been murky like Luluwei's, Lu Cang might have had reason to doubt himself.
But his sea of consciousness now gleamed with golden splendor.
That had nothing to do with corruption, did it?
Besides, his thoughts hadn't changed at all. He hadn't become cruel and ruthless.
He'd even taken his time explaining his reasons before killing anyone.
Only when his explanation failed to get through and they attacked him first did he strike back.
And besides...
By now, he'd learned quite a few rituals and forging arts that required sacrifices of living people or offerings of life.
But he hadn't gone around catching people to use as test subjects.
If he really had been corrupted, he would surely have done whatever he wanted, killing indiscriminately and committing cruel acts, wouldn't he?
Lu Cang knew himself well. He really had mastered too many things...
So if he were corrupted and had no restraints, he could definitely do things a hundred times more cruel than anything he'd done so far.
