Cultivation Online novel Chapter 913

Chapter 913 - Black Anguish Needle

Yuan stared at Sun Hao's burnt corpse with a look of disbelief and surprise. This is the first time one of his servants has killed a cultivator.

"Feng Feng, why did you kill him?" Yuan asked her.

Feng Yuxiang appeared before him with her head lowered.

"Young Master, I apologize for acting on my own, but there isn't any need for you to dirty your hands with these lowlifes. If you wish to kill somebody, please allow me to do it for you."

"Furthermore… Young Master, you don't like killing other humans, right? Since I occupy the space in your heart, I know your emotions better than anyone here. Every time you kill someone, your heart clenches slightly."

"However, no matter my reasoning, I have acted without your approval. Please punish me as you see fit, Young Master."

The Sect Masters in the room turned their focus from Sun Hao's corpse to Feng Yuxiang.

'W-Who is this beauty? Where did she come from?'

'This pressure… She's a Spirit King! And a high-level one, as well!'

'Did she just come out of his body?'

They all wondered.

Yuan rubbed his temples and sighed after a moment of silence, "Feng Feng, if I order you to kill someone, how is that any different from killing them myself? I am still the reason they died."

"And I won't punish you. I was going to kill him, anyway. I just wanted to know your reason for killing him, that's all."

"Thank you, Feng Feng, for worrying about me. You're right. I don't like killing others, but there are times when you must act even if doing so will make you feel uncomfortable. If I don't do it, I won't be able to protect those valuable to me— people like you, Feng Feng."

"Also, if I had to choose between dirtying my precious friends in blood or my own hands, I will gladly choose the latter."

"Young Master…" Feng Yuxiang's face flushed with redness when she saw the gentle smile on Yuan's face.

Yuan turned to look at Sect Master Li a moment later and spoke in a calm voice, "Sun Hao just tried to harm me. You all saw that, right?"

They all nodded in silence.

"Then you should have no qualms about me killing him. Do you have anything else to say?" _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Sect Master Li walked back to his chair and sat down in an exhausted manner. He took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm sorry. I should've spoken to him right after that incident. None of this would've happened if I had spoken with him."

"Don't blame yourself. People like him won't change so quickly after a single conversation." Yuan shook his head.

"Why are you still here? You've already accomplished your goal, right? Just leave already." Bai Enjue said to him.

"Actually, I still have some business here." Yuan said.

"What? What else do you want from us?"

"Not from you."

Yuan then turned to look at Sect Master Xiahou and said, "You're the Sect Master of the Spirit Healing Academy, right?"

"Eh? Y-Yes, I am…" She nodded nervously.

"Then do you know of a disciple by the name of Wang Xiuying?"

"Wang Xiuying?" She raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

Seeing her reaction, Yuan realized something.
