My Master Knows It All

”I believe, Senior Brother, and our ancestors of the God Slaughter Sect would rather see our Great Teaching destroyed than watch you betray the Human Clan and defect to the Sky Clan!”

”That’s just what you think.” The Divine Slaughter Sect Lord became agitated as he spoke, pointing towards the graves opposite.

How do you know that my master, and the ancestors of our God Slaughter Sect, the successive Sect Hierarchs, would definitely want our sect to be buried with the Human Clan?

How do you know that if they were in power, if they were the Sect Hierarch, they wouldn’t choose to join the Sky Clan?”

”Nonsense! Don’t think that all Sect Hierarchs are as lacking in principle as you!”

Immortal Lord Yi Sha, upon hearing the Divine Slaughter Sect Lord dare to insult Senior Brother and the past Sect Hierarchs of their God Slaughter Sect, could no longer restrain the fury within him and raised his hand to strike the Divine Slaughter Sect Lord.

”Smack!”

A crisp sound echoed on Spirit Mountain.

A heavy slap from Immortal Lord Yi Sha landed on the face of the Divine Slaughter Sect Lord, leaving a distinct palm print, the force so great that it made him sway slightly.

The Divine Slaughter Sect Lord did not change hands, nor did he summon any immortal energy, enduring the slap head-on.

”This strike is to repay you for all these years of your teachings to me.”

The Divine Slaughter Sect Lord’s face gradually turned manic as he looked at Immortal Lord Yi Sha, pointing upwards and shouting, ”You think what you’re doing is right?

Let me tell you, the Sky Clan never intended to completely exterminate the Human Clan; they just wanted to oppress us, to maintain all clans in a delicate balance.

But what about you? You repeatedly provoke the Sky Clan, challenging their bottom line. In the end, you’ve enraged them, pushing the Sky Clan to decide to thoroughly destroy the Human Clan!

If it weren’t for your provocations, the Sky Clan would still be oppressing the Human Clan slowly, as they always have. It’s you who have harmed the Human Clan!

It’s your endless provocations that almost prompted the Sky Clan to wage a full-scale war against us.

You claim to be acting for the Human Clan, but have you considered how many will die if the Sky Clan really goes to war against us?

And if you hadn’t discovered my establishment of the Eternal Assembly, I could have taken the entire God Slaughter Sect to join the Sky Clan and preserved it!

You think every Sect Hierarch shares your mindset? Although you are senior, you’ve never been a Sect Hierarch. Without being one, you’ll never understand the considerations required! You’ll never grasp the mindset of a Sect Hierarch!”

”So, you think you’re justified? So you’re telling us you want to join the Sky Clan, to become their lackey? To preserve our God Slaughter Sect, you plan on sacrificing so many of our brethren from the Human Clan?

You say I haven’t been a Sect Hierarch, that I don’t understand the mindset of one. Fine, then I’ll seek out those who have been Sect Hierarchs. The All Immortal Sect Leader and the Flame Sun Sect Leader, both have been Sect Hierarchs, yet neither has betrayed the Human Clan to join the Sky Clan! Our Human Clan has so many Great Teachings, yet you’re the only one among their leaders who has betrayed us!

What else do you have to say?

You claim that your way could preserve the Human Clan? How can you be so sure that the Sky Clan is merely oppressing us and doesn’t truly intend to exterminate us?

Even if you’re right, even if the Sky Clan is only oppressing us, what then? What will become of the Human Clan when we submit to them?

We’ll only become a vassal clan to the Sky Clan, a second-tier race!

The Sky Clan will bully us at will, our women will be humiliated, our children stolen away as slaves.

Why do we resist? It’s for the entirety of the Human Clan! Haven’t you even considered any of this!”

The Divine Slaughter Sect Lord roared angrily, ”I haven’t, and I won’t think about these issues! I only know that as the God Slaughter Sect Lord, I’m responsible for our sect! The survival of others has nothing to do with the God Slaughter Sect!”

”What do you mean it doesn’t?” Immortal Lord Yi Sha pointed at the Divine Slaughter Sect Lord’s nose and shouted, ”If the backbone of our entire Human Clan is broken, it will never stand tall again! Even if you lead the God Slaughter Sect to join the Sky Clan, you’ll merely be a lackey, forever stooped.”

Tell me, which cultivator, or indeed any person, would willingly live their entire life bowed over!

Do you not know regret even now!”

The Divine Slaughter Sect Lord, still defiant, said, ”I have nothing to say to you. Victory decides the victor and the vanquished. If we delay until the Sky Clan invades the Four Continents of the Human Clan, who knows how many Great Teachings and experts from the Human Clan will defect by then. At that time, I might even be appointed by the Sky Clan to govern the entire Human Clan, and then the victor would be me, enjoying the admiration of all God Slaughter Sect disciples.

But you’ve exposed me early, so I’ve failed, becoming the Human Clan traitor.”

Immortal Lord Yi Sha retorted angrily, ”Betrayal? Do you think everyone will be like you? And don’t keep bringing up the God Slaughter Sect; you’re unfit to be its Sect Lord, unfit even to be its disciple. Our God Slaughter Sect has no need for disciples like you! Now tell me, who else is involved in your Eternal Assembly?”
