Xu Qi’an immediately looked at Li Miaozhen and found that she was not surprised.
“Just some wandering cultivators. With the Heaven and Earth Society’s strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to deal with them,” he said with a frown.
Daoist Bailian explained with a somewhat helpless tone, “Those wandering cultivators are the most troublesome. We don’t wish to commit excessive slaughter, but if we ignore them, they may turn against us.
“They are numerous and use any means necessary. They pose a significant threat to ordinary disciples. Yet, indiscriminate killing is a grave taboo…”
“Even if your life is threatened, you still can’t kill?” Xu Qi’an asked in surprise.
Bailian shook her head and said softly, “The Earth Sect cultivates merit, not a Dao heart.”
*So she means that the concept of a clear conscience doesn’t apply to the Earth Sect. Killing will always damage their merit. From this perspective, killing irredeemable villains would be fine since eliminating evil is an act of virtue. However, those wandering cultivators are not all evildoers…* Xu Qi’an came to an understanding.
Chu Yuanzhen chuckled. “I’ll go help as well.”
