394: Shi Feixuan's decision

She naturally knew of Duan Zhengchun's reputation; in the current Martial Forest of the Nine Provinces, there was likely no one who didn't know of him.

Setting aside how he had previously killed the Murong Family's Old Ancestor, the Earth Immortal Realm Master Murong Longcheng, in the Kingdom single-handedly, just recently, the news of Duan Zhengchun wiping out the Great Jin's army of four hundred thousand by himself was more shocking to the Nine Provinces than the destruction of an Imperial Dynasty.

After all, the destruction of a Dynasty was a battle between nations, yet Duan Zhengchun had annihilated an army of four hundred thousand with his own strength alone.

Just thinking about it felt inconceivable, yet it had truly happened.

If such a man was also handsome beyond belief, one could imagine his attraction and lethality toward women.

"Useless. Just meeting him once has given you such thoughts."

"Feixuan, have you forgotten all the teachings Master has given you over the years?"

"You are a monastic; how can you have so little self-control?" Fan Qinghui said angrily.

"Master, I know I was wrong. I will definitely overcome the Heart Demon and never let such things affect my state of mind again," Shi Feixuan said with her head bowed.

"No, this matter is not that simple. That witch and Zhu Yuyan appearing here are very likely coming for Duan Zhengchun."

"If she succeeds, it will be a disaster for our Vast Sail Quiet Temple."

"We know very well how strong Duan Zhengchun is. If he intervenes in the matters between the Demonic Sect and Vast Sail Quiet Temple, we won't have any chance to resist at all." Fan Qinghui looked at Qin Mengyao with a gloomy expression.

Qin Mengyao nodded; that was indeed the truth.

Currently, Duan Zhengchun's reputation was so great that every major Imperial Dynasty was finding ways to win him over and build a relationship with him.

Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan appearing here was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Then Senior Martial Uncle, in your opinion, what should we do?" Qin Mengyao thought for a moment and looked at Fan Qinghui.

"Hmph, as the Saintesses of Vast Sail Quiet Temple, do you still need this seat to teach you such things?"

"Since Zhu Yuyan can let her own disciple go and win over Duan Zhengchun, why can't you?"

"Furthermore, Feixuan has already become like this because of Duan Zhengchun. It's only natural for you to go," Fan Qinghui said with an arrogant expression.

Hearing her Master's words, Shi Feixuan suddenly raised her head and looked at her Master in shock.

Was this still the Master she knew? As members of the Righteous Path, how could they use such a method to win someone over?

Was she being asked to sacrifice her body to a demon? But Duan Zhengchun wasn't a Devil Head!

He was a God of Slaughter. Was Master asking her to use her charms to seduce him?

However, why did Senior Sister Mengyao not seem surprised at all, as if she had known about this for a long time?

What exactly was going on?

Wasn't Vast Sail Quiet Temple the representative of the Righteous Path? Why would they use such a method to win someone over?

"Master, you... what did you say?" Shi Feixuan looked at her Master in shock.

"What? You want to disobey orders?"

"You must know that to prevent the Demonic Path from growing stronger, as leaders of the Righteous Path, necessary sacrifices are required."

"The body is but a shell. As long as we can prevent the Demonic Path from expanding, any sacrifice is worth it." Fan Qinghui looked at Shi Feixuan with a calm expression.

Shi Feixuan was stunned, feeling that what her Master said made sense.

The body was just a shell. If this shell could bring peace to the Jianghu and prevent the Demonic Path from growing, then it was worth it.

"Junior Sister, as a Saintess of Vast Sail Quiet Temple, traveling the Jianghu is only one part; another point is to set things right."

"The Demonic Sect has always been our arch-enemy. Now that Zhu Yuyan has brought Wanwan to commit such a shameless act, how can we, as leaders of the Righteous Path, sit idly by and watch?"

"They can use Wanwan to entice Duan Zhengchun, and so can you. You are no less beautiful than that witch Wanwan. I believe Duan Zhengchun will surely be moved when he sees you."

"Even if that fails, I will be there to accompany you. We must establish a connection with Duan Zhengchun." Qin Mengyao looked at Shi Feixuan with a calm tone and determined eyes.

Shi Feixuan was completely shocked. It turned out everyone knew except for her.

Before she set out into the Jianghu, her Master hadn't mentioned this to her at all.

To suddenly tell her all this, how could she accept it?

This contradicted the principles she had been raised with since childhood.

Looking at the still dazed Shi Feixuan, Fan Qinghui looked at Qin Mengyao with a face full of helplessness.

"Mengyao, as the Senior Sister, you should enlighten your Junior Sister more in this regard. This Master is tired; you may go."

"Yes, Senior Martial Uncle."

Qin Mengyao nodded in agreement, stepped forward, and pulled Shi Feixuan away.

Coming out of her Master's room, Shi Feixuan's mental state was still somewhat abnormal.

It wasn't until the two returned to their room that Shi Feixuan regained her senses, but her eyes were still unfocused. She still couldn't quite understand why.

What her Master told her today had overturned her understanding of all these years.

Although her Master had taught her since childhood that good and evil cannot coexist, and that Vast Sail Quiet Temple was the arch-enemy of the Demonic Sect's Yinkui Sect and Flower Sect.

As long as the Demonic Sect could be destroyed, everything could be sacrificed when necessary.

"Junior Sister, have you understood? To stop the Demonic Sect, some sacrifices can be made when necessary."

"Prince Duan's reputation is so great and his strength so powerful that he can be called the number one person in the Nine Provinces."

"If such a powerhouse were to enter a demonic state because of the enticement of those two devils from the Yinkui Sect, it would be a disaster for the Nine Provinces."

"To prevent such a disaster from occurring, what does a mere shell matter, or even this life?" Qin Mengyao spoke persuasively, beginning to guide Shi Feixuan.

Listening to her Senior Sister's words, the light gradually returned to Shi Feixuan's previously unfocused eyes.

Wasn't this exactly the same as what her Master had taught her since she was a child?

Since ancient times, good and evil have been incompatible. To uphold the Righteous Path, what did a little sacrifice matter? No matter what, the Demonic Path must not be allowed to succeed.

Moreover, as long as she was by Prince Duan's side, she wouldn't have to worry about her Heart Demon anymore.

"Senior Sister is right. It was Feixuan who was narrow-minded."

"In that case, we shall set off for the Kingdom immediately. We must meet Prince Duan before the Demonic Sect does." Shi Feixuan looked at Qin Mengyao with determined eyes.

Shi Feixuan's reaction surprised Qin Mengyao slightly, but she understood the reason upon second thought.

It seemed her Junior Sister had already lost her heart to Duan Zhengchun; now that she had understood, she naturally felt no aversion to the matter.

However, they had already been delayed by a day, and Wanwan might have already arrived at Prince Kaoshans Residence.

Therefore, they had to hurry.

"Since Junior Sister has understood, then without further delay, we shall set off immediately."

"We have already been delayed by a day. Perhaps that Wanwan and Zhu Yuyan of the Demonic Sect have already established a relationship with Prince Duan, which would be very disadvantageous for us," Qin Mengyao nodded.

"Senior Sister is right. We shall set off immediately," Shi Feixuan nodded.

After reaching an agreement, the two set off directly for the Kingdom.

However, what they didn't know was that they were destined to come up empty-handed.
