Chapter 1756 - 1752: Return to Where We Came From
"If I say no, you probably won’t believe me, right?" Mi Su chuckled and asked in return.
Shen Luo’s eyes gleamed with green light. Mi Su wasn’t lying, but it seemed she was withholding quite a bit.
"Fine, one last question: why are you doing all this?" He took a deep breath and asked again.
As his voice faded, Mi Su’s smile vanished, and her eyes sharpened like knives as she stared at Shen Luo for a long while before speaking gravely: "Why do you ask me why? Isn’t it because of the greed of you humans and immortals and the corruption of the Three Realms’ order? My Qingqiu Fox Clan was once a crucial force in resisting Chiyou’s Demon Clan, and now we’re relegated to a corner and reduced to subservience to the Human Race? Based on what?"
"When have the Human and Immortal Clans ever oppressed your Qingqiu Fox Clan? The Great Tang Dynasty Government stationed troops in Xiangyang Town merely as a precaution. As far as I know, they have largely refrained from entering Qingqiu Mountain’s territory." Shen Luo frowned and said.
"That’s just one side of the story. The Human and Immortal Clans have long harbored deep suspicion and animosity toward my Qingqiu Fox Clan and the entire Demon Race. Oppression and bullying are ubiquitous. Now, the resources of the entire Three Realms are firmly in your hands, while we demons are forced to survive in barren lands, constantly enduring the hunts of your two clans’ monks. How could we not seek vengeance for such a grudge?" Mi Su retorted coldly.
"So you colluded with the Demon Clan, slaughtered the people of Chang’an City, and attempted to unseal the Divine Demon Well? As far as I know, once the Divine Demon Well is unsealed, the Demon Race may indeed be revitalized, but the Demon Clan will also use the opportunity to grow stronger, possibly even affecting Chiyou’s seal. If Chiyou breaks free, the Three Realms will again plunge into chaos and suffering. Are you really willing to do this?" Shen Luo pressed urgently.
Mi Su remained silent. She gazed distantly in the direction of Chang’an City, her eyes seeming to pierce through the void. Moments later, she withdrew her gaze.
"I have answered your three questions already. This one is not among them!" She shook her head lightly, formed a spell with her fingers, and pointed into the void. Then, she retreated, her body merging into a cloud of gray-white mist and vanishing without a trace.
