Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 1613 - Sacrifice

“Zijian…”

For a moment, Li Qingshan had no idea how to answer her. With that, had she exactly changed or not changed?

She was still kind-hearted, but she was no longer soft-hearted. If killing a person could save ten thousand, she would definitely do so, no matter how innocent that one person was. That was just a price that needed to be paid. Even if that person was herself, she would not hesitate at all. That was also just a “sacrifice” that had to be made.

By “sacrifice”, it originally referred to the livestock offered to the heavens, which were pure in colour and physique.

Throughout history, all accomplishments of greatness came with tremendous sacrifices. If they could not offer up a bountiful sacrifice, how were they supposed to be blessed by the heavens?

Yu Zijian’s lips curled slightly. “What a pair of fools.”

Li Qingshan smiled. “Not bastards?”

“Yes. I’m one too.”

Yu Zijian murmured, “I know this world is not a pure land. Not everyone I killed deserved to die either. However, as long as I swing my sword an extra time, it should turn out a little better! There are many pitiable people among demonic cultivators too. Even if you kill all of them, there’ll still be people who do evil, but at least it’ll be a bit better!”

“Pure land!” Li Qingshan sighe
