Chapter 6296: You Are the Reason For This Sword Wound
Despite feeling conflicted, Jie Tian tightly gripped the Devourer Scepter and slowly approached his mother one step at a time.
Jie Tianran stared intently at Jie Tian with deep, unreadable eyes.
As if she had sensed something, Jie Tiannian somehow mustered the strength to turn around and look at her son. Her eyes were vacuous, a huge contrast to how she was before. Her vitality had completely dried out, making her as good as a walking corpse.
Faced with his mother’s gaze, Jie Tian halted his footsteps. His lips quivered.
“Why? You can’t bear to kill her?” Jie Tianran asked.
Jie Tian’s breathing hastened. He tried his best to calm himself, but he couldn’t control his physical reactions and emotions. His eyes reflected his raging emotions—sadness, panic, and fear.
He tightly gripped the Devourer Scepter, but his flickering eyes and hastened breath made his hesitation clear. In the end, he gritted his teeth, turned to Jie Tianran, and said, “Grandfather, my mother gave birth to me. I want to know what wrong she has committed to deserve death.”
Jie Tianran replied, “Not only did she aid Chu Feng’s escape, but she also gave your cultivation resources to Chu Feng. Are those not enough reasons for you?”
“But...”
Jie Tian still wanted to say something, but Jie Tianran interjected, “All that matters when it comes to devouring bloodlines is your interests. You don’t need sentiments. You shouldn’t spare anyone who threatens your interests. Those who achieve great things are not bound by such cheap sentiments. Close kin are often the ones who are the greatest hurdles to your success, let alone those who turn their backs on you. How can I believe that you won’t let me down if you can’t even do this much? Tian’er, I have high hopes for you.”
