"Fairy Chiyue, is what Fairy Yourong said just now true?"

After Rong Qingxian left, Jiang Yi secretly sent a telepathic message to Chi Yue asking her something.

Yes, that is true.

Chi Yue couldn't hide it; the matter had already spread like wildfire, and anyone could find out by asking around. There was no way to keep it a secret.

Jiang Yi looked thoughtful. It seemed that Ye Chen was not as simple as he appeared. If Ye Chen was really pretending and his mind had already been corrupted by evil, then their tolerance and support could indeed lead to disaster.

Chi Yue was also very troubled. She didn't want to admit that she was wrong, but if Ye Chen really had a problem and Chi Yuan hadn't been possessed by a demonic cultivator, then her actions would definitely bring irreparable losses to the Chi family and the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.

Perhaps she needs to ease tensions with Chi Yuan to avoid making things too strained and leaving no room for reconciliation in the future.

As for Ye Chen...

Chi Yue turned to look at Ye Chen, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she said, "Young Master Ye, do you truly have no remorse for framing Chi Yuan back then?"

"How could this be? Fairy Chi, you've misunderstood me."

Ye Chen quickly put on a bitter expression and said in a helpless tone, "I never intended to harm Senior Brother Chi. Back then, it was entirely under the guidance of Grandmaster that I committed this unintentional mistake. Since then, I have lived in regret and guilt every day, constantly thinking about apologizing and repenting to Senior Brother Chi in hopes of gaining his forgiveness, but..."

"But Senior Brother Chi misunderstood me too deeply. He wouldn't listen to any of my explanations and was determined to kill me. I had no choice but to become his enemy..."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Chi Yue's eyebrows lifted, and she was already eight or nine parts convinced. After all, Chi Yuan wouldn't even forgive his own brother, and he even had a bitter and resentful attitude, wanting to take fierce revenge. How could he forgive Ye Chen?

It's important to understand that Chi Yang only wronged Chi Yuan and sincerely admitted his mistake, but this did not earn Chi Yuan's forgiveness. Ye Chen, on the other hand, was the one who caused Chi Yuan's misery. It's easy to see that no matter how much Ye Chen apologized and repented, he could not resolve Chi Yuan's hatred and would be forced to face Chi Yuan to the death.

Jiang Yi and the other Holy Lords outside the tower who heard Ye Chen's explanation also chose to believe Ye Chen. Judging from Chi Yuan's attitude towards Chi Yang, it was clear how deep Chi Yuan's hatred was. Under such circumstances, no matter how much Ye Chen tried to salvage the situation, it would be futile. Therefore, it was reasonable for Ye Chen to become an enemy of Chi Yuan in order to protect himself.

"Alas, Chi Yuan's obsession runs too deep. He may have already become a demon. If this continues, even if he is not possessed by a demonic cultivator, he may still fall into the demonic path."

Jiang Yi sighed softly. These words expressed the thoughts of all the Holy Lords. In their view, Chi Yuan's obsession turning into a demon was indeed a very dangerous sign. After all, in their long cultivation careers, they had seen many righteous cultivators fall into the demonic path because of their obsession turning into a demon.

Regardless of whether Chi Yuan has been possessed by the Demon Emperor, the mere fact that he shows signs of becoming a demon indicates that Chi Yuan is not far from the demonic path.

"No matter what, we have to make him let go of his obsession, otherwise his life will be ruined."

Chi Yue said in a deep voice, then turned to Ye Chen and said solemnly, "Young Master Ye, rest assured, I will do my best to persuade Chi Yuan to let go of his hatred. I hope you will not hold a grudge and can also let bygones be bygones, so that this feud can come to an end."

"Don't worry, Fairy Chi. As long as Senior Brother Chi can let go of his hatred, I will definitely shake hands with him and make peace!"

Ye Chen said seriously that this was pure nonsense. The conflict between him and Chi Yuan was already irreconcilable. It was a matter of life and death, and neither he nor Chi Yuan could ever turn hostility into friendship.

However, he was still happy to say such nice things, as it could gain the trust of others and also make Chi Yuan hate him. Why not?

Outside the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's statement, the Holy Lords smiled with satisfaction and expressed their approval.

"The fact that Ye Chen can let go of past grievances shows that he is still kind at heart."

"Indeed, on the other hand, Chi Yuan's obsession is too deep, which is a bad thing. What grudges in this world cannot be resolved? Why must you make it a fight to the death?"

"Making mistakes is not a big deal. As long as you realize your mistakes and turn back to the right path, there is still hope for recovery. On the contrary, if you are too obsessed and become possessed by demons, then you are truly beyond redemption."

...

"I am relieved to hear Young Master Ye's words."

Chi Yue smiled, thinking that even though Chi Yuan wanted to kill Ye Chen, Ye Chen was willing to put aside his grudges and make peace with Chi Yuan. Ye Chen had only been misled by his master and committed an unintentional mistake. What was there for Chi Yuan not to forgive? He really had no magnanimity.

If she gets to see Chi Yuan again, she, as his cousin, really needs to have a serious talk with him. She can't let Chi Yuan continue to hate him; otherwise, he'll only go further down the wrong path.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was quick-witted, otherwise it would have been difficult to fool him. This time, he almost got himself into serious trouble because of You Rong Qingxian.

Recalling the enormous crisis he had just encountered, Ye Chen gritted his teeth in hatred. Since Rong Qingxian was disregarding past feelings and wanted to expel him from the sect, then he shouldn't blame him for being a rebellious disciple.

Sooner or later, he will turn You Rong Qingxian into his furnace!

...

In another space on the fourth floor.

Feng Ge, the imperial prince of the Tianfeng clan, watched as Yun Meng hunted down a fifth-tier demonic beast, ready to provide assistance at any moment.

Although Yunmeng made some gains in the first three levels of the challenge, and her cultivation level was able to jump from the fourth level of Spirit King to the sixth level of Spirit King, it was still quite difficult for her to hunt down the fifth-level demon beasts of the Spirit Emperor level.

Fortunately, the power boost from the Burning Heaven Refining Void Technique was strong enough, and the top-tier Emperor-level bloodline granted her immense potential, causing her spiritual skills to leapfrog in power. Therefore, she could barely fight against the weakest fifth-tier demon beast.
