Chapter 417: Even in the face of death, one should face it with composure
"I, Qin Bai... have hunted aberrants my entire life, and I can say with a clear conscience that I have lived up to this cultivation, lived up to the words 'Aberrant Purge.' In the end... I did not collude with those beasts, did not taint the filthy blood of those aberrants that stains my hands... I preserved this bit of reputation and backbone..."
Qin Bai's tone was flat. "That... is enough."
He did not beg for mercy, much less try to justify his past actions.
In the final moments of his life, he chose to accept everything with equanimity.
For a man as proud as him, who had lived his whole life with pride, there was no compromise before an absolute bottom line, no allowing himself to be condemned for all eternity...
Perhaps, this was the best outcome he could secure for himself.
It was also his final shred of dignity.
Qin Bai straightened his robe, which was slightly disheveled from the fight. Although it was still stained with dust and blood, he tried his best to make himself look presentable.
Then, he actively walked towards Situ Hong and Shangguan Xue, giving a slight nod.
