Purification Arts (2)
“You-”
Ye Mu only said one word before the monk reached out with his hand to seal her eight critical acupuncture points!
Instantly she became immobile. The Silent Master then went behind her. His hand guided her to sit cross-legged. He then proceeded to sit down and pass internal force from behind into her back!
He had trained in the arts of purification, which now combined with Ye Mu’s devil arts. When these two extremes intertwined, between his pure arts and Ye Mu’s devil arts, it was just barely enough to balance each other out. Therefore, he had to pay for this exchange with his own vitality.
Meanwhile, Ye Mu was unable to see behind her, but the Silent monk’s handsome face grew older. Even his eyebrows started to turn gray. He never cared about his appearance, but it was clear that he was unsightly. He didn’t want her to see him like this.
Ye Mu was truly anxious. She wanted to stop him but was unable to. Especially when she discovered that he was using the purification arts on her. She panicked to the point of screaming!
“Silent Master, do you no longer want to live?!” She had hundreds of years of internal forces. Could she actually be completely purified by the monk? He most likely will run out of power by then!
Evidently she still cannot move. The voice of the Silent monk then came up behind her,
“You should heed Your Majesty’s words: You only became like this today because of what I did to you with my own hands.”
“No, you didn’t do it!” Ye Mu quickly replied, “This martial arts form I have was already rooted in evil. Even before you did anything, I may have also changed into this state regardless.
Hearing Ye Mu say how she didn’t blame him made him chuckle. Even though his face has started sagging, his smile was still brilliantly beautiful right then,
“Maybe not… but I am happy to die for you…”
“Silent Master…”
“Ye Mu, did you know that you are my only friend that I have recognized in this life? I felt bad for what I did to you, it ate me up inside. Every day, I condemned myself in my own heart.”
Ye Mu also wanted to turn around and stop him, but it was already too late. The devil’s martial arts has awoken within her and has started to absorb the Silent monk’s internal force. Just like how she killed the other people before, it drew out his core. Now, the monk was slowly being killed by her murderous aura little by little.
Ye Mu turned ashen pale because once the devil’s magic started, she couldn’t stop herself anymore.
“Silent Master, Why… Why are you doing this!”
Ye Mu closed her eyes intently, “I have never blamed you. You truly don’t have to do this at all!”
She had hoped that he would live rather than die like this. She never once wished death upon him. Even when Mo Linyuan said that the Silent Master wronged her, she nevertheless still felt the same within her heart.
Because in her heart, the monk was someone who helped her when she was going through difficult times. He was the one who would read her scriptures when she couldn’t sleep. Even when she snuck out of the mountains to pick fights with other people, he was always there by her side then too. Regardless of what he had done, she would never wish death upon him!
Tears kept falling. Behind her, the monk was unexpectedly tranquil.
“Little Mu’er, you should know my life story by now right? In truth, I hated this life I lived… When I was a child, I didn’t understand… why I had to become a monk…”
He had a muted smile as he said, “But my father loved my mother dearly. He told me I could only become a monk because otherwise it would be disastrous for my mother if I ever joined the secular world.”
As he said this, his expression became extremely bitter. His eyes also recalled the appearance of his beloved father’s equally dreadful and miserable face.
