It’s not Prudent and Don’t be a Good Person

The world would be in peace after killing Taiping (aka. Peace, the translation of his name in English).

This statement sounded rather funny, yet neither Liu Ci nor Yuan Qijing laughed.

It was because what Jing Jiu said was the common understanding of the world, even though the "world" referred mostly to those of high status.

What Jing Jiu intended to convey was crystal clear; the Green Mountain Sect had to regard the Immortal Taiping as its enemy and kill him, no matter how the Immortal Taiping thought of his own status on Green Mountain and how the confrontation with the West Ocean would play out.
