Bab 222: Absorbing the Sword Bloodline Foundation

Inside the tent, Yale and Herken were waiting for an attack that Herken hoped wouldn't happen.

"Herken, if someone attacks us I will kill that person immediately, we can't afford to travel with prisoners and with the traitors as backing in the Larken Clan, I doubt those prisoners would end up punished afterward even if we managed to reach the Larken Clan with them as prisoners. I can use Soul-search or kill the attacker directly with my sword; it had a special effect, and if the one who dies due to my sword isn't evil, that person would be able to reincarnate. You can choose the method."

Yale doubted that those members of the younger generation knew anything because they were just pawns of the elders behind them and if he wanted to soul-search them Herken wouldn't know. However, if Herken thought that the attackers needed to be soul-searched, Yale would do it because using the sword to kill them wasn't important; letting Herken choose had another finality.
