"Young Master… Don't blame yourself… You did nothing wrong by killing those evil Cultivators." Feng Yuxiang spoke a moment after Yuan explained his battle with the Blood Sect, as there was a clear sense of guilt within his eyes as he explained how he killed thousands of disciples from the Blood Sect.

However, Yuan shook his head and sighed in a low voice, "You're wrong. I am neither feeling guilt nor self-blame because I killed those evil Cultivators. I am worried because I don't feel any sympathy even after killing so many people…"

"Even now, I cannot feel anything. Is there something wrong with me?"

"That's completely normal, Young Master. It just means your consciousness doesn't find anything wrong with killing some evildoers. I can assure you that there's nothing wrong with you. You're just growing up— as a Cultivator. That's it."

"Growing up, huh?" Yuan sighed.

Sometime later, Yuan said to Lord Luo, "Pang City should be safe now that the Blood Sect is gone."

"T-Thank you, Daoist Yuan! Once again, you have saved our city!" Lord Luo stood up and bowed to him.

"Unfortunately, our family doesn't have anything else to give you, as I had already given you our most valuable treasure."

"The Starry Abyss, huh?" Yuan suddenly retrieved the Starry Abyss.

"I still haven't thanked you for giving me this treasure. It has been really useful to me ever since then. This treasure is more than enough to compensate for everything I have done for the city… as well as what I will do for it in the future. Of course, I hope nothing bad happens to this place ever again."

"Thank you, Daoist Yuan."

After talking with each other for a little more, Yuan returned to his own room.

"I am going to spend some time clearing my mind," Yuan said to them.
