In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 36 Do not condone evil just because it is insignificant

After a stick of incense had burned, the Emei disciples who had participated in the bandit suppression gathered in front of the mountain stronghold, led by several elders.

Besides the Emei disciples, there were also dozens of women, most of whom were beautiful.

They all looked unwell, and some of them were disheveled.

It was during these six months that the bandits abducted women from the mountains to use for their daily pleasures.

After scanning the crowd, Miejue said, "First, find out if anyone here still has family members alive. If so, help send them over. If they have nowhere to go, bring them back to the city and have the disciples there help arrange some work for them."

Juechen and the other elders were already quite accustomed to receiving orders from the Extinction Army.

In times of hardship, these defenseless women often met a tragic end when they fell into trouble.

In the past, under the extermination order, everyone did their best to help these women or orphans who had suffered misfortune.

The rest can only be left to fate.

This is why, in the martial arts world, when people talk about Extinction, they say that Extinction is ruthless, fierce, and often shows no mercy.

Yet no one criticizes the Extinction Clan or Emei's usual practices.

On the way down the mountain, some of the Emei disciples whispered excitedly, while others turned pale, their minds still immersed in the scene of fighting with the bandits.

This bandit suppression was not a major event, so the Emei disciples brought along were all inexperienced and had never seen blood before. They were also being used for training.

The same rice feeds a hundred different people; the same experience will elicit different reactions from different people.

But after experiencing many things, you usually get used to them.

That's how the martial arts world is.

Behind the massacre, Zhou Zhiruo appeared somewhat silent than usual.

Gu Shaoan also remained silent.

His mind raced, constantly reviewing the battle with the bandits and identifying the shortcomings of the previous fight.

Just then, the voice of extinction suddenly rang out.

"Shao'an, Zhiruo."

As the two looked up at Extinction, Extinction's voice, which was turned away from them, slowly rang out.

"You two should take today's events as a warning. Do not do evil because it is insignificant, and do not neglect good because it is insignificant. Good is good, and evil is evil."

"As disciples of Emei, we should uphold good intentions and not condone evil because it is insignificant."

Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo nodded in response.

"The disciple understands."

Extinction gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent.

But both of them clearly heard a long sigh following the word "Extinction".

His voice sounded weary, as if worn down by the elements.

An hour later.

In a house in the eastern part of Yushan City, Gu Shaoan sat cross-legged, his expression serene, like a monk in meditation.

A moment later, feeling the internal energy filling his body again, Gu Shaoan smiled inwardly.

The "Emei Nine Yang Skill" originates from the "Nine Yang True Scripture".

In terms of restoring internal energy, it is inherently superior to ordinary internal energy cultivation methods.

In addition, Gu Shaoan's foundation was extremely solid, and the first level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill had reached the perfect level.

This allowed the full effect of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" to be realized.

Otherwise, how could Gu Shaoan, who had only cultivated his internal energy for a little over a month, have been able to sustain such a long battle on Blackwood Mountain without running out of internal energy?
"knock knock"

Just then, Gu Shaoan suddenly noticed a figure passing by outside the door. A knock suddenly sounded at the door.

"Junior brother, are you asleep?"

Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's gentle voice, Gu Shaoan got up and opened the door.

What came into view was Zhou Zhiruo's pretty face, full of confusion, outside the door.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, Zhou Zhiruo felt a little embarrassed and lowered her voice, saying, "Did I disturb my junior brother's cultivation?"

Taking in Zhou Zhiruo's expression, Gu Shaoan waved his hand and said, "The cultivation is over."

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shaoan suggested, "I just finished cultivating and wanted to come out for some fresh air."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan stepped out of the room and sat on the threshold.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo also sat down next to Gu Shaoan.

The night was dark and windy. When I looked up at the sky, all I could see was darkness, and I couldn't see a single star.

But Zhou Zhiruo's mind was clearly not on that at the moment.

Gazing at the night sky, her eyes somewhat vacant, she said, "Junior Brother, tell me, Second Senior Sister has been in Emei for so many years, how could she just die like this today?"

Before Gu Shaoan could respond, Zhou Zhiruo spoke again.

"Besides, aren't we from the same sect? Why would Second Senior Sister want to harm us? What did we do wrong to anger her?"

Gu Shaoan didn't rush to answer Zhou Zhiruo's question, but instead asked in return, "If in the future, junior brother also does something to anger fourth senior sister, will fourth senior sister harm me?"

When asked by Gu Shaoan, Zhou Zhiruo did not hesitate at all.

"How could that be? You're my junior brother. Even if you've made me angry, you're still my junior brother. How could I possibly harm you?"

Gu Shaoan continued, "What if it were the eldest senior sister, the second senior sister, or the third senior sister?"

Zhou Zhiruo said earnestly, "Of course not."

Gu Shaoan nodded and asked, "Then why would Senior Sister think that Second Senior Sister would harm us for this reason?"

"This"

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Then, Gu Shaoan said again, "Senior sister needs to know that people are different. Just because you are kind doesn't mean that others are kind at heart. Never use your own standards to measure and think about others."

"This is why Senior Sister couldn't understand why Second Senior Sister would suddenly harbor malicious intentions and kill her fellow disciples."

"As for why Second Senior Sister suddenly drew her sword against us, after a few years, when she has more experience in the martial world and has experienced more things, she will understand why Second Senior Sister did this."

Zhou Zhiruo asked, "Junior brother is so smart, you must already know the reason. Why can't you tell me now?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "Even if I tell you now, Senior Sister still won't understand. Rather than that, it's better for her to understand later."

Ding Minjun's actions today also involve extinction.

It's a bit complicated.

If we were to speak frankly, it would inevitably affect Zhou Zhiruo's state of mind, doing more harm than good.

Seeing that Gu Shaoan was unwilling to talk about it, Zhou Zhiruo sighed softly and stopped asking.

After a long pause, Zhou Zhiruo spoke again: "Senior Sister has been in Emei for over twenty years, yet Master killed her without hesitation today. I don't know how Master could bear to do that?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan asked, "Does Senior Sister think that Master's punishment of Second Senior Sister today was too severe?"

Zhou Zhiruo did not respond, but her silence was tantamount to acknowledging Gu Shaoan's statement.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan thought for a moment and then asked, "Senior Sister, do you think it's easy or difficult to be the leader of a sect?"
