Chapter 177 Dao League Secret
Shi Feiyang was silent for a moment, and finally sheathed his sword slowly. His tone also softened a lot: "Okay, I'll trust you this time. But you have to remember that the Brotherhood is not a place for trifling. Any betrayal will be punished unforgivably."
"However, since you are here for revenge, I think the president is willing to lend you a hand, but the premise is that your actions cannot violate the interests and principles of the organization."
Shi Feiyang's eyes revealed a deep sense of responsibility, from which it can be seen that his loyalty to the Brotherhood is extraordinary.
"Thank you, Brother Shi." Seeing the other party's attitude, Ximen Tianyu finally felt relieved. "The reason why I didn't mention this matter before was because I was worried that everyone would misunderstand my motives and affect the trust between us."
Shi Feiyang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he slowly said: "Brother Ximen, what do you think is true morality?"
Ximen Tianyu was slightly stunned by Shi Feiyang's jumping topic. Although he didn't know why the other party asked this, he still gave his own answer: "In my opinion, true morality is not limited to personal grievances and hatreds, but transcends these and is related to the harmony of the hearts of the people and the world more broadly. It is the protection of the weak, the adherence to justice, and the fight against injustice."
"Your answer shows your innocence and passion, which is why I admire you."
"But as for the morality you just mentioned, how many people in this world can do it?"
Shi Feiyang turned his head to look at Ximen Tianyu, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling his past experiences, and as if he was examining the true face of this world.
"Brother Ximen, the morality you talk about is indeed beautiful and noble, but reality is often more cruel than ideals."
"For example, if you find the monsters that killed your parents one day, would you kill them or not?"
"If there ever comes a day when I face the murderer who killed my parents, I will not be merciful and will destroy him with thunder and lightning!"
Ximen Tianyu blurted out the answer without even thinking about it.
After all, in his heart, revenge for his parents has been his obsession for many years. This hatred has long been deeply buried in his heart and has become the source of motivation for his practice and growth.
"But in this way, you have violated the morality you just mentioned. After all, the outside world is advocating peace between humans and demons. If you kill them like this, it will be an act of 'destroying peace between humans and demons'. After all, in order to achieve this goal, the Taoist Alliance stipulates that monks are not allowed to seek revenge on demons in private."
Shi Feiyang said this.
Ximen Tianyu frowned upon hearing this and fell into deep thought. He had never thought that the path of justice and revenge in his heart would have such a profound conflict with the concept of peace advocated by the outside world.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Seeing Ximen Tianyu lost in thought, Shi Feiyang suddenly laughed, but there was obviously a hint of bitterness in that smile.
"Peace between humans and monsters... If it can be achieved, it will certainly benefit future generations. But when you see monsters that hurt your loved ones, can you still look at this matter calmly?"
"Brother Ximen, I understand your pain and determination, because I have had similar experiences. However, this world is far more complicated than we imagine, and it is often difficult to reconcile morality and selfishness. Therefore, I did not choose to join the Dao League, but came to this Brotherhood."
Shi Feiyang's words revealed a sense of vicissitudes and helplessness, as if he was using his own experience to warn Ximen Tianyu. Ximen Tianyu's expression became serious when he heard this. He wanted to refute Shi Feiyang's point of view with his own understanding, but he found that he could not easily deny the other party's words. After all, what Shi Feiyang said was exactly his inner struggle now.
Reason told him that personal grudges should take a back seat to the greater good of human-demon peace. However, the bond of emotion and blood made it impossible for him to ignore his parents' hatred.
Ximen Tianyu fell into deep conflict, and now he seemed to finally understand the motives of those opposing forces.
"It seems that you can't give a decent reference answer." Shi Feiyang patted Ximen Tianyu on the back, signaling him to relax. "I am the one who said too much. You don't need to think too much. Prepare for the next action in time and don't keep the president waiting for too long."
Ximen Tianyu nodded. Although he had a thousand thoughts in his mind, he also knew that this was not the time to indulge in personal emotions. He took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and turned to look at Shi Feiyang. After saying what he had just said, the other party had already left, leaving this space to him.
Thinking of the next action to be implemented, Ximen Tianyu chose to send a message to Tushan Rongrong to ask for her opinion.
"Sister Rongrong, the Brotherhood is planning to enter the ruins tonight. What should I do?"
Originally, Ximen Tianyu shouldn't be so indecisive, but the appearance of Jin Chenxi forced him to deal with it carefully.
On the other side, Tushan Rongrong, who was on her way, immediately responded after receiving Ximen Tianyu's message.
"We can't let the contents of the ruins fall into the hands of the Navoli Brotherhood."
Tushan Rongrong's voice was transmitted to Ximen Tianyu's ears through the magic sound transmission weapon.
"why?"
As if sensing the nervousness in Tushan Rongrong's words, Ximen Tianyu was worried that he might miss some details, so he asked decisively.
"Because the things in the ruins are the secret teachings of the Taoist Alliance!"
Tushan Rongrong's voice echoed in Ximen Tianyu's ears: "The items in the ruins are actually a treasure lost by the Dao League hundreds of years ago, called the 'Dao League Secret'."
"This item has the ability to see into the secrets of heaven and obtain inheritance, and it is of immeasurable value to practitioners. The Navoli Brotherhood has always wanted to obtain this treasure, and their purpose may not be as noble as they say.
"I see, no wonder they mobilized so many troops." Ximen Tianyu suddenly realized, and had a deeper understanding of the challenge he was about to face. He pondered for a moment, and continued to send a message to Tushan Rongrong, "Sister Rongrong, how is the situation over there?"
Tushan Rongrong's voice sounded particularly calm through the sound transmission magic weapon: "Tianyu, your first priority at the moment is to ensure your own safety. Later, the Brotherhood and the Dao Alliance will inevitably have a large-scale conflict, and you only need to ensure that the Dao Alliance secret message will not fall into the hands of the Brotherhood during the chaos.
"I will come to meet you as soon as possible after dealing with Jin Chenxi, but before that, you need to make some judgments on your own."
