Chapter 520 - 370 Beihuai City
With Ju Jiao’s death, the warriors of Shoushan Village can be said to have collapsed like a crumbling mountain. Relying solely on the High Priest Mai Sui, who is knowledgeable in magic, was utterly futile. Even without Li Yi lifting a finger, just his two mutant beasts alone could have inflicted heavy losses on Shoushan Village.
The High Priest Mai Sui understood this as well, and even though he was reluctant, he knew that this time, Shoushan Village had lost.
"Stop, everyone stop fighting."
Mai Sui, holding a green staff, approached with a complex expression on his face.
The other warriors of Shoushan Village, already demoralized by the death of Ju Jiao and with no heart to continue fighting, turned their gazes towards the High Priest upon hearing his plea.
Mai Sui looked at Li Yi, his gaze settling on his shattered arm, the silver bones shimmering with an unusual radiance. He spoke, "Foreigner, you have won this battle. We no longer have the strength to seek revenge against you. But as a descendant of the gods, I hope you can spare these innocent people. They only wish to pursue a peaceful life and mean no offense to you."
"Isn’t it too late to say this now? You were the one yelling the loudest earlier, urging Ju Jiao to kill me. And now you say you mean no offense? Do you think I would believe you?" Li Yi stared at him and said.
"Then let my death resolve this grudge, how about that?" Mai Sui spoke.
Li Yi said, "Killing you would be just a matter of words for me. Your life holds no value in my eyes."
Mai Sui said, "If you annihilate Shoushan Village, there will be no one left to tell you where your comrades have been trafficked to. Moreover, the strongest warriors in the village have already perished by your hand. With the loss of a High Priest, the village will surely decline and will no longer have the strength to seek revenge against you. Besides, I will restrain them and let them set aside today’s grudges."
"You, as a warrior bearing divine blood, should possess a magnanimity akin to the gods and learn to forgive weaker enemies."
