“May I know what else you need from us?” Jin Kequn asked through gritted teeth. “...Is it money?”
“Haha, don’t worry, you can keep your money,” Zhao Yunxiao laughed. “Instead, tell me something. What do you intend to do after I leave? Will you continue practising the Moonlight Sutra?”
“This...” Jin Kequn had a guilty look on his face.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to answer. Of course, you will,” Zhao Yunxiao answered rhetorically. “And that’s where the problem lies.”
Even though Zhao Yunxiao would be taking away the manual, that was not going to stop the bandits from continuing to practise whatever they remembered.
They had already gotten a taste of the power of cultivation, and were unlikely to stop despite not having the physical copy of the manual in hand.
Instead, they would probably try to practise according to what they remembered, and that was where the danger lay.
Because what they remembered might be wrong.
Practising a cultivation technique in the wrong manner could easily result in cultivation deviation, which would in turn lead to drastic outcomes, including death!
In fact, that was still the likely outcome for these bandits, even if they got to retain the manual.
They were all ordinary mortals and had no cultivators around to guide them on the basics of cultivation.
So, how could they ever have the right understanding of what was being mentioned in the manual?
It was already surprising enough that they had managed to get to where they were without any obvious issues, but that could be attributed to pure luck.
At the same time, there could already be underlying issues brewing within, just that they had yet to grow into an obvious problem.
The situation would only get worse as they progressed, until a point where things became completely irreversible.
When that happened, the entire group would be completely wiped out!
This was also why Zhao Yunxiao had decided to gather everyone and assess them altogether, instead of going straight to the leader.
It was to decide what he should do with these bandits next.
If they retained the vile mentality of bandits, Zhao Yunxiao would not have cared less about their eventual outcome.
But looking at things now, be it due to the Moonlight Sutra or otherwise, their behaviours were certainly different from the generic bandits.
In that case, Zhao Yunxiao did not want to just stand by and watch as they indulged in their newfound power, only to end up meeting a tragic death where they might not even understand how they died!
“Don’t worry, we won’t abuse our power for our personal gains,” Jin Kequn assured. “I am not sure how much my words are worth, but I promise that we will not become a problem that you will have to fix in the future.”
Zhao Yunxiao locked eyes with Jin Kequn, and proceeded to assess him from head to toe.
Still, this was a tough decision that he had to make.
Should his assessment be wrong, Zhao Yunxiao’s next step could very well end up creating a group of powerful bandits that even he might be unable to control in the future!
Even so, he would like to trust in his judgement this time.
Huu-!
“From today, forget about everything that you have learnt,” Zhao Yunxiao said after letting out a deep breath. “I will look through the Moonlight Sutra and leave you a proper mantra before I leave. Practise that instead, and I will be back to teach you further in time to come.”
“You mean...?!” Jin Kequn widened his eyes in astonishment.
“This...!” Qiao Yulang was just as surprised.
