The grievances of thousands of innocent cultivators swirled around Tiandanzi. Though they could not cause her any physical harm, they suddenly wrapped the once gentle and refined Tiandanzi in an eerie aura, making her feel like a vicious woman. Such a cultivator's resentment would not only affect one's karmic fortune, but also easily give rise to inner demons.
Yet Tiandanzi looked at me with an expression of utter innocence, gazing blankly around her. Without any reason, she had suddenly become a femme fatale who had killed countless people. Furthermore, the countless resentful spirits surrounding her felt as though they were about to erode her mind and soul—a threat far more severe than my own murderous intent.
With a pitiful air, Tiandanzi asked, "Junior Brother Hu, I truly never sent anyone to assassinate you, nor did I harm so many fellow cultivators in the Cultivation World. You cannot casually pin this karmic retribution on me without cause. The things you claim I did—I never did them, and I will not acknowledge them." It was as if this had fortified her state of mind, for the wandering resentful spirits around her began to dissipate.
