Chapter 20: A Dungeon
Chapter 20: A Dungeon
Behind the portal turned out to be a dungeon full of cells.
What made Luo Tian very surprised was that he found dozens of people in each of those cells. Each of them looked haggard, even though their cultivation was intact, their strength was suppressed to the point that it was difficult for them to move.
Behind each of them, there was a whip that occasionally whipped them.
They didn't scream when the whip whipped them, it proved that they were very used to it.
Their gazes were always blank, but as soon as they appeared, they instantly became savage.
Countless angry screams immediately resounded from that dungeon.
What they said was almost the same, they all cursed Yingyue.
Their gazes on Yingyue were filled with hatred, her beauty seemed to mean nothing to them anymore, the only thing they wanted was to tear her into ten thousand pieces.
Yingyue paid them no mind, after appearing in that dungeon, she immediately stepped into it.
Sun Yang who saw the people in the cells showed a surprised expression.
He looked at Yingyue in surprise. "You caught so many people in your private space, why would you do that?"
"Of course, to feed my dogs," Yingyue replied casually.
"Don't worry, I won't lock you up with them because you will be the food of today."
"..."
A young woman with a transparent body then appeared in front of Yingyue, she was that space artifact spirit.
She bowed to Yingyue and looked ready to take her orders.
Yingyue threw the rope that tied Sun Yang to her and said, "pull him."
The spirit nodded and followed her orders directly.
In their own territory, artifact spirits or weapon spirits could still act on their own like primordial puppets. The difference between them is actually very simple, the latter can move independently be it their spirit or material body while the former can only move in spirit form and they can also only move within their material body like this space for example. Their material bodies can only be moved by their masters.
Luo Tian wasn't sure about the primordial weapons and artifacts created by the grand paragons because information about them was really very limited.
Because of that spirit that was now pulling Sun Yang's strings, Yingyue was finally able to walk side by side with Luo Tian. Shee looked at his face that still looked confused how to react, she then asked, "do you think I'm evil? Gathering humans here and using their flesh as food for my dogs."
"Yes, you are evil," Luo Tian replied directly.
"..."
Even though she tried to keep her expression, Luo Tian still saw her pout for a moment.
No matter what, everyone would want their actions to be justified by their loved ones even though it was clearly very wrong.
"Your answer is too honest," Yingyue finally gave an opinion.
"But have you forgotten? Women don't like men who are too honest."
"That's just an opinion based on facts, not my personal opinion of you," Luo Tian replied.
"Oh? So what's your personal opinion?"
"My personal opinion is the same, I still think you did the wrong thing."
Yingyue, "..."
"Husband, do you want to be hit?"
Luo Tian, "..."
He couldn't help but be surprised by the way she called him.
"Your opinion is still incomplete, please continue," she then added.
It seemed that she had deliberately addressed him with words; "my husband". Maybe so that he could give a more satisfactory explanation.
"Okay, but I want to ask first. Would you let them go if I asked you to let them go?"
"No," Yingyue replied without further ado.
"It's not that I don't want to comply with your request, but,"
"Yes, I understand," Luo Tian cut off her words before she finished her answer.
"Does that have anything to do with your opinion?" she asked.
"Yes, I'll give examples from stories I read often. In the mortal world, there are many corrupt officials. Corruption is considered a serious crime in the mortal world, those who do it are naturally considered evil. But do they see themselves as evil, and do their families view them as criminals?"
"Unless what they do causes the death of a human, they usually don't think of themselves as evil, maybe just a little bit evil."
"Many of them consider it as natural as when they steal money from their parents' wallets."
Yingyue had a high level of understanding, she immediately understood what he meant.
She nodded before saying, "I see, now I understand your point. Since killing is a common thing in the cultivation world, what I'm doing now is still justifiable from my point of view. After all, I did all of this so that my strength would increase and so that I could protect myself in this merciless world."
"Of course, to protect you too."
She looked at him with a gentle gaze.
"That's a good point of view, looks like I should read more about the mortal world," she added.
"You must not underestimate the mortal world, after all, their lives are full of schemes."
"Oh, but, are you equating me with those corruptors?"
She suddenly looked dissatisfied once again.
"..."
"Actually, corrupt people are honorable people, they are the main controllers of the mortal world. The only thing dishonorable is their path," Luo Tian quickly added.
"And you will not use that path."
"For now for sure, I don't know about the future. But I'm sure I won't change unless something big happens so I have no other choice."
"If that big thing happened to me and it would cause me to die, would you change to save me?"
"What did I say when I was drunk three days ago?" Luo Tian answered with a question.
"Hahaha," Yingyue laughed after she heard his answer, she said, "husband, I really love you more and more."
Whoosh...
She waved her hand, causing a spiritual barrier to appear around them.
She then grabbed his hand, pulled his body close to hers and wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing him passionately.
