High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 361 - 294: Everyone Was Outplayed—All I Seek Is a Clear Conscience!
"I really have to thank Sima Lin..."
After unleashing that punch, Su Mu gained a deeper understanding of the martial path he was to embark on. The road ahead was one that no human Martial Artist of this era had ever walked.
At this moment, the square at the peak of Celestial Cloud Mountain was in total chaos. A terrifying storm was about to be unleashed, yet Su Mu, who had created this storm, walked calmly along the path of Celestial Cloud Mountain as if nothing had happened.
Finally, he reached the foot of the mountain.
"Su Mu, you’re truly fearless, daring to kill Sima Lin."
"Today you’ve stirred up a massive trouble."
"However, you’ve made the right choice, so there’s no need to worry. Let’s return to Saint Martial University now, and I will take you to meet Qingfeng Martial Saint immediately..."
"With his protection,..."
The figure behind suddenly paused.
The elder turned around in confusion, his pupils suddenly constricting.
He saw Su Mu shaking his head calmly, "I will not go with you."
The elder’s expression changed drastically, as if he had heard something incomprehensible.
"Su Mu, have you gone mad?"
"Do you know who you killed today? Do you know who Sima Lin’s adopted daughter is? Aren’t you afraid of death, aren’t you afraid of implicating your family and friends?"
"Now only Qingfeng Martial Saint can protect you."
Su Mu still shook his head, "No need, I have already figured out a way."
After speaking, a flash of Spiritual Light appeared in Su Mu’s hand as two letters emerged. "Return these to their rightful owner, I trouble you to deliver these letters back to Qingfeng Martial Saint."
The elder was stunned, completely unable to understand what Su Mu was thinking. From Su Mu returning those letters, it was clear that he had made his choice from the very beginning.
He never intended to come under the tutelage of Qingfeng Martial Saint.
Not to mention why Su Mu would give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which other Demons could only dream of.
Or why, having given up the test, Su Mu would risk offending Overlord Blade Martial Saint to kill Sima Lin?
The elder didn’t understand, he couldn’t understand at all.
"Su Mu, do you know what you’re doing? This isn’t about pride..."
"Elder, I know very well what I’m doing."
"Tell me, why did you take action to kill Sima Lin today?"
"I, Su Mu, act only to live with a clear conscience."
"A clear conscience..."
Those four words struck the soul directly.
The elder’s mind went blank, a shiver ran up his spine, his heart trembled violently.
Once upon a time, he too was ambitious, eager to serve his country.
But he had changed, the reality was much harsher than he had imagined.
However, at this moment, he saw the sacred brilliance of ideals in Su Mu, the fearlessness and greatness that belonged to humanity.
He once again recalled the tearful admiration he felt when he first learned about the Human Great Sage and his followers fearlessly suppressing the Beast Cave.
No scheming, no factional strife, united as one. Everyone was willing to give everything for the future of humanity, including their lives.
What an inspiring, enviable, and honorable sight that was!
Right now, he felt it once again, the elder was briefly choked with emotion.
Just then, two terrifying auras rapidly approached from the mountain. The elder’s expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to shield Su Mu, as a massive Martial Arts Golden Body nearly twenty meters tall slowly formed.
"Su Mu, you go first, I’ll hold them off for you."
Su Mu’s eyes flickered, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
"Elder, leave it to me. They’re not here to stop me..."
"Besides, they can’t stop me, Su Mu."
