The moment his words fell, a flicker of astonishment crossed Jiang Taibai's face, followed by a cold sneer.
Zheng Xiang, meanwhile, stood frozen where he was, staring at Ye Yu in disbelief. He knew why Jiang Taibai had become like this.
Having witnessed too much deceit and treachery in the Dark Hall, Zheng Xiang was merely someone who carried out orders. Jiang Taibai, however, was different. He was the one responsible for accepting missions.
Over this period, Jiang Taibai had seen far too many unbelievable things.
Fathers killing sons and disciples killing masters were nothing unusual in Jiang Taibai's eyes.
On the Divine Continent, countless inconceivable things were hidden away in dark corners, simply undiscovered by ordinary people.
At the beginning of man, his nature was evil.
Jiang Taibai no longer believed in anyone. If you believed someone was a good person, you might gain a little happiness. But if they were actually a bad person, what you might lose was your life.
Between a bit of happiness and death, anyone knew which to choose.
This was the Divine Continent. They were in the cultivation world, where the law of the jungle was the essence of the world.
"Little Junior Brother, why have you become like Eldest Senior Brother? There are still plenty of wonderful things on the Divine Continent. It wouldn't be good for you to become as gloomy as him," Zheng Xiang hurriedly persuaded him.
Jiang Taibai snorted. "Gloomy? Looks like it's time to show you what true darkness is. Once this is over, you'll take over the Dark Hall. At the beginning of man, his nature was evil. You simply don't understand."
"Tch, who are you trying to scare? I don't believe it. I'm far more sunny and cheerful than you," Zheng Xiang said, curling his lip.
