Chapter 350-Equality
"Settling accounts? What accounts should be settled?"
Wuji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. At the same time, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched the body of the teapot.
In an instant, a surging hot stream gushed out from the spout of the kettle like a roaring dragon.
This stream of hot water seemed to be precisely controlled by an invisible giant hand and fell steadily into the exquisite porcelain bowl in front of Wuji, without even a drop splashing out.
At this moment, Bian Xing's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but seemed unable to speak because of his full heart of guilt.
Finally, he took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, "I... I handed over the two mineral veins in our holy land to Liu Yuntian!"
After saying this, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Wuji's sharp gaze, his heart full of regret and self-blame.
You know, the reason why Wuji Holy Land was defeated in the battle with Liu Yuntian was not just because of that battle.
As the saying goes, a centipede is still alive even after death. Even if Wuji unfortunately died, as long as they have the two mineral veins containing endless wealth and resources as a solid backing, the people of the Holy Land can still engage in a protracted battle with Liu Yuntian.
After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, money is important, but what is more crucial is the constant supply of spiritual power.
Even if there is not enough money to purchase those extremely precious elixirs and magic medicines, as long as there are enough spirit stones in hand for everyone to absorb the spiritual power in them, then relying on its own powerful recovery ability and the nourishment of spiritual power, the Wuji Holy Land may be able to hold on and wait for the opportunity to launch a Jedi counterattack.
However, for Liu Yuntian, the situation was completely different.
The forces he led did not have such a deep foundation and the ability to fight continuously. If he could not win the battle quickly, once he fell into a long-term stalemate, he would be the one to fail in the end.
Therefore, the main reason why Wuji Holy Land suffered a crushing defeat in this contest and completely lost the chance to turn things around was Bian Xing’s fatal betrayal.
"What do you think...can be considered a true victory?"
Wuji slightly extended his slender index finger and tapped the table softly, accompanied by crisp "tap tap tap" sounds, like a unique melody.
After a brief pause, he continued slowly: "In fact, there is no need for you to be so persistent as you are now."
Having said this, he calmly put two fingers together, and then lightly stroked the middle of the porcelain bowl filled with boiling water as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water.
In an instant, under Bian Xing's horrified gaze, Wuji pinched one side of the edge of the bowl, and then placed one half of it steadily in front of him.
Although the bowl had been precisely divided into two by Wuji at this moment, the hot water in the bowl seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and did not spill out at all, but still quietly gathered in that half of the bowl.
Looking at the miraculous half bowl and the motionless hot water in front of him, Bian Xing suddenly looked up as if awakened from a dream.
His face was filled with disbelief, he stared at Wuji with wide eyes, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sword Heart! You actually realized the Sword Heart?!"
Facing Bian Xing's shock, Wuji simply nodded calmly, as if he was not overly happy or complacent about being able to realize such a realm.
On the contrary, his extraordinary calmness made Bian Xing feel a chill in his heart.
After a short silence, Wuji slowly explained: "Yes, it was Liu Yuntian who helped me understand the true meaning of the sword heart..."
"Liu Yuntian?!"
Hearing this name, the already strong look of doubt on Bian Xing's face instantly became even stronger.
In his inherent cognition, Wuji and Liu Yuntian are both true kings.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Between the two kings, it should be a life-and-death struggle.
Instead of killing Wuji, Liu Yuntian helped him comprehend the heart of sword?
What kind of number is this?
Helping the enemy?!
Wuji slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at the half-broken bowl in front of Bian Xing. His eyes were as calm as water, but they contained deep emotion and memories.
"Looking back, I didn't have a single supporter by my side. Everyone looked at me with doubt and even ridicule. However, you were the only one who stood firmly by my side, giving me strength and support."
Wuji's voice was steady yet had a barely perceptible tremor.
Upon hearing this, Bian Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, saying self-deprecatingly: "Yes, at that time they all thought you were just a lunatic who was dreaming. They thought your ideas were ridiculous, childish, and even naive. But I believed every word you said."
"Because I deeply agree with what you said - Qingxi is definitely not just an ordinary disciple. In my heart, her existence is far more precious than any other person or any wealth!"
At this point, Bian Xing's eyes became exceptionally gentle and firm.
"At that time, I often thought about this: if we could successfully build a new world where everyone is equal and class constraints are completely broken, just as you described."
"Then, perhaps Qingxi's life will not seem so cheap, and can be respected and cherished as it should be?"
Wuji slowly reached out his hand, gently patted his arm, and said in a gentle and caring tone: "Isn't your Qingxi back?"
This short sentence seemed to carry the warmest spring breeze, gently blowing through Bian Xing's heart, instantly relaxing his tense nerves.
Bian Xing tilted his head slightly, his eyes passed Wuji and turned to the beautiful figure squatting by the river not far away who was busy working.
Looking at the familiar figure, he couldn't help but reveal a silly smile, muttering to himself: "In fact, I already knew in my heart that Qingxi...it's impossible for her to come back..."
At this point, his voice lowered a little, and he continued, "When Liu Yuntian found me... I knew it."
Wuji listened to Bian Xing's confession quietly without interrupting.
Bian Xing took a deep breath and said, "But I don't care... My heart tells me that she is right!"
"Because I have lost something before, I know how to cherish it more."
He raised his head slowly, "Those two mineral veins..."
At this time, before Bian Xing could finish, Wuji immediately raised his hand to interrupt him, "Didn't you risk your life to protect those two mineral veins?"
"For this, your immortal path was cut short..."
"With your talent, if you had practiced till now, you would not be worse than me."
"Your things... you naturally have the right to dispose of them."
"We...are equal!"
