A Flood of Misplaced Compassion

Gu Yuena had an expression that said she had expected this; she had thought of it as soon as she saw that Feng Ling was Evil Soul Master.

Feng Ling is Evil Soul Master who relies on devouring to increase her strength. Now that she has the opportunity to devour Martial Soul of the same origin Bright Phoenix, how could she possibly let it go so easily?

Yan Shaozhe, however, thought he was special, capable of making an Evil Soul Master stop for him; this was nothing but arrogance and foolishness.

Ma Xiaotao's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the anger in her eyes almost overflowed.

She knew all too well what it felt like to have your Martial Soul affected by external factors and forced to awaken. Only she knew how painful and desperate she was when her Evil Fire Phoenix went out of control back then.

However, her teacher, Yan Shaozhe, whose own Bright Phoenix Martial Soul influenced Feng Ling's Evil Phoenix Awakening, not only showed no remorse but also became entangled with her, ultimately bringing trouble upon himself...

Ma Xiaotao closed her eyes; she dared not think too deeply about it.

The last trace of gentleness on Zhang Lexuan's face vanished completely. She tightened her grip on the teacup, causing a tiny crack to appear on the cup's surface.

She knew better than anyone the harm Evil Soul Master posed to the continent, and she was even more aware of the cruelty of devouring Martial Soul of the same origin. Since Feng Ling had already decided to completely devour Yan Shaozhe in order to complete her Martial Soul Evolution, she would never give up easily.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't possibly be unaware of the stakes involved, yet he allowed things to escalate to this point. He was incredibly foolish and irresponsible towards the Shrek Academy and the entire continent.

Even so, if Yan Shaozhe had won Douluo I, he would have been fully capable of killing Feng Ling.

But in the end, out of consideration for their past relationship, Feng Ling go.

This is absolutely outrageous; I really want to swear.

Is this something a normal person would do? He wanted to kill you, he was going to kill you, and you won, and you still let him go.

I really want to pry open Yan Shaozhe's head and see what's inside. Is it water?

You've won, but what if you had lost? Do you think Feng Ling would have given up on devouring you just because you had some feelings for her? How could that be possible?

Wang Dong'er's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched tightly, her eyes filled with intense mockery and anger.

She had seen too many fools like this, unable to distinguish right from wrong and bound by so-called past feelings. Tang San, who treated her as a pawn, was one, and this Yan Shaozhe was even more so.

They were already intent on killing him, and he won the fight but still let them go out of old friendship? He's utterly stupid.

If he were the one who lost today, Feng Ling would not show the slightest mercy and would devour him without hesitation, leaving not even bones behind.

His laughable old feelings are worthless in the face of the Evil Soul Master's ambition.

Tang Ya's cold smile deepened, and a hint of ruthlessness even appeared in her eyes.

She knew all too well the way Evil Soul Master operated; once they set their sights on a target, they would never let go easily, let alone the opportunity for Martial Soul to undergo ultimate evolution through the absorption of the same source.

Yan Shaozhe actually dared to Feng Ling go, which was like letting a tiger return to the mountains. He not only planted a time bomb for himself, but also left a disaster for the entire Shrek and the entire continent.

Only someone as muddle-headed as him would do something so stupid. Does he really think the Evil Soul Master would show him mercy out of some laughable old friendship?

Ice Empress couldn't help but sneer, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

She'd lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and this was the first time she'd ever seen such a naive and foolish person.

The other party already had a knife to his throat, just waiting for an opportunity to devour him completely. He had finally won and had a chance to eliminate the threat forever, and he just let the person go like that?

If this were in the Far North, anyone who dared to kill her would have been frozen into an ice sculpture and crushed into dust long ago. She wouldn't have given them a chance to come back.

Just as Lin Ye said, Yan Shaozhe's brain is completely full of water.

I really don't understand under what circumstances Yan Shaozhe let an Evil Soul Master go?

Officially, he was a member of the Shrek Academy. Even if his status wasn't that high back then, he was still a successor personally trained by Mu En.

This represents the side of absolute justice, so his duty is to eliminate Evil Soul Master and protect the continent.

On a personal level, when faced with a partner or lover she's been dating for a long time, Feng Ling might not hesitate to want to devour you.

This isn't some kind of relationship; it's clearly a tragic fate, an incredibly tragic fate.

A cold, mocking glint instantly appeared in Wang Dong'er's eyes as she walked alongside Lin Ye.

She was no longer the naive girl who was kept in the dark. She already knew who Yan Shaozhe really was just from the descriptions in Lin Ye's diary.

This kind of clueless man is exactly the same as that hypocritical, sanctimonious man.

They spout lofty rhetoric about justice and responsibility, but their hearts are filled only with their own worthless personal feelings, and they can arbitrarily distort even the most basic principles of right and wrong.

If someone can so easily let go of a life threatened by their spouse, what's the fundamental difference between them and someone who, for their own schemes, confines my entire life to their own ends? It's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Lin Ye is right. From both a public and private perspective, there is absolutely no room for leniency in this matter.

Shouldn't Yan Shaozhe, as a man, hate her at this moment?

I'm in a relationship with you, and you don't want a Jiujiu commitment, fine, but you even want to kill me.

Faced with a woman like that, wouldn't any normal man hate her more than anyone else?

Even the murderer of one's father might not be as shocking or heartbreaking as learning that one's spouse wants to kill them.

The Far North.

Ice Empress looked at the words that simultaneously appeared in his mind and couldn't help but let out a sneer.

She had seen enough of the survival of the fittest in the world of Soul Beast and the hypocrisy and pretense of the human world. What she despised most were these fools who couldn't tell what was important.

Humans are truly strange creatures. Even when betrayed to the brink of despair, and almost losing their lives in the hands of the other party, they can still cling to that vague and ethereal old affection.

In the Far North, someone as ruthless as her, capable of killing her mate, would have been torn to pieces and fed to the Snow Demon Wolf long ago. How could she possibly escape and continue to wreak havoc on the world?

Only these self-proclaimed righteous people could do such a stupid thing, and they deserve to be schemed against time and time again.

But Yan Shaozhe was able to endure it, and not only that, he let the person go because of old feelings.

I really can't understand it. Whether for public or private reasons, we can't let Feng Ling go. We have to grind her to dust.

But he just let him go. What can you do about it?

The Far North.

A thoughtful look flashed in Snow Empress's eyes. She had lived much longer and had witnessed too many dynasties rise and fall, and sects rise and fall. She knew all too well what kind of catastrophic disaster a moment of mercy could cause.

They understand even more clearly that the so-called righteous path is often ruined by the selfishness of those in high positions.
