Chapter 544: Chapter 528: Is the Fallen Monarch Begging for Mercy?

What good are humans?

Ximen Kuan used to not know, and now he knows even less...

As a child, to prevent people in the village from dying now and then, he secretly swore to change the situation and to learn Daoist magic. Then he would protect the people, so no one would die.

After growing up, he indeed mastered Daoist magic, but from the moment he began his cultivation, it was destined that people would die because of him.

When he realized this, Ximen Kuan was in agony.

He was here to pursue cultivation, but the original intention of cultivation was to protect people, not to harm them...

Back then, it was his fellow seniors who comforted him, saying that this is what cultivation is like, without strength, how could he subdue demons and combat the Demonic Path?

But to want strength, that was the only way to go. Without Daoist magic, one becomes a mortal, and that means a quicker death.
