This question from Wang Jiu finally awakened the Academy Cultivators from their daze.
Indeed, how did they become so unknowingly immersed in it? Isn't that the swordsmanship that people despise and resent the most? What's so appealing about slaughter and killing? What's more shameful is that as the battle entered a fever pitch, everything in the Sword World began to operate, and the aura of slaughter nearly overflowed, making everyone subconsciously imagine scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood... Yet that bloody scene not only did not repel them but instead stirred a passionate fervor deep within, filling them with a transcendent longing.
This runs counter to the Academy's long-standing anti-war philosophy.
Even the eloquent Shang Miaoyu was momentarily speechless, feeling ashamed and alarmed at his earlier loss of composure.
