The moment this question was raised, the previously lively atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Xiao without prior arrangement.

Now that both the righteous and the demonic paths have gathered here, this is another very sensitive issue.

If the fight is not fought well, it will cause displeasure between the two sides, and the conflict will break out prematurely.

Perhaps by then, before they even enter the secret realm, half of the people here will have died or been injured.

Everyone looked at Lin Xiao with curiosity, wanting to see how he would answer.

Of course, most of the time it was because he embarrassed himself.

As this question was posed, the ancestors in the void were also drawn over, all pricking up their ears to hear how the younger generation viewed the righteous and demonic paths.

Lin Xiao did not rush to answer, but instead looked at the man who asked the question.

Asking this kind of question at this juncture clearly means someone wants him to suffer.

After all, the usual Daoist conferences were all about discussing various Daoist techniques and mystical arts.

"Gentlemen, does anyone want to answer first?"

"I'm curious about everyone's views, or rather, how you view this issue?"

Lin Xiao looked at the person who asked the question.

Name: Zhao Jingang

Age: 122

[Cultivation Level: Divine Power Realm (Third Level)!]

[Fate: Ordinary, a stepping stone, foolish!]

[Life Script: An ordinary mortal with a high opinion of himself, always thinking he can create a different life, but in reality he is a fool who is used by others and helps people for thousands without even realizing it.]

His end was tragic; he offended someone he shouldn't have, and died at the hands of another.

... ... ..

His information was that of an ordinary person: a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm, a true disciple of a second-rate sect, and nothing else seemed amiss about his background.

Zhao Jingang snorted coldly and said, "The righteous path is to slay demons and eliminate evil, and to save the world. The demonic path is to kill and set fires, and to be vicious and cruel. This is my understanding of the righteous and demonic paths!"

"Senior Brother Lin Xiao, you are, after all, a true disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, the number one sect of the righteous path, yet you dare not speak out?"

Lin Xiao looked at this person, whose understanding of the concepts of righteousness and demonic paths was completely different from his own.

Now that he has expressed his opinion, he is smug and mocking him.

Lin Xiao still didn't answer, instead looking at the others.

"Gentlemen, do you all share the same view?"

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, different opinions immediately arose from the surrounding crowd.

"Bah! What do you mean by slaying demons and eliminating evil to save the world is the righteous path? Haven't you righteous people done plenty of dirty things? If slaying demons and eliminating evil is the righteous path, then I've slain demons and eliminated evil, so I'm considered part of the righteous path too?"

A disciple from a top-tier demonic sect immediately retorted with disdain.

He looked at the righteous sects around him with disdain, and in his eyes, their faces were full of hypocrisy.

Those righteous sects were furious after being sprayed with insults.

"Nonsense! This is utter nonsense! Whether something is the righteous path or the demonic path is not for us to decide. The world will judge whether it is the righteous or the demonic path. You have committed too many murders, arsons, and massacres, so it is no problem for the world to judge you as the demonic path!"

At this moment, Chen Yangsheng, a true disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land, stepped forward and said with a serious expression.

"Bah! Haven't you righteous sects ever done these kinds of things?"

Another disciple of the demonic path stepped forward, pointed at Chen Yangsheng's nose, and angrily said.

What was originally a pleasant discussion turned into a chaotic marketplace, with arguments erupting.

Fortunately, most of them were very restrained and no fights broke out.

"Master Lin, what are your views on the righteous and demonic paths?"

Xu Changge suddenly looked at Lin Xiao and asked.

As his voice rang out, the crowd that had been arguing fell silent, and everyone listened attentively to how the first sect of both the righteous and demonic paths viewed the issue.

"Lin believes that the true demon is looking at the heart, not the cultivation method or the lineage of the master!"

Lin Xiao calmly shared her opinion.

Everyone frowned upon hearing this entirely new explanation.

Even Lin Fan and the others beside Lin Xiao frowned deeply.

“Senior Brother Lin Xiao, your statement is too dangerous. Since ancient times, those who cultivate demonic arts are naturally people of the demonic path, and those who follow the demonic sect are naturally people of the demonic path as well. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.”

"As a true disciple of the foremost righteous sect in my Tiannan Dao Domain, you are now promoting such theories. The Tianyan Holy Land is truly unworthy of its title as the foremost lineage in Tiannan!"

A refined scholar, exuding an air of scholarly elegance, stood up abruptly and angrily rebuked Lin Xiao.

He was positioned in the middle, quite a distance from Lin Xiao.

But this did not prevent his voice from reaching everyone's ears. The voice seemed to be mixed with a righteous spirit, and everyone was shaken to their core by the sound.

"Oh? Junior brother, if that's what you mean, then I'll have to have a serious talk with you."

"Your Haoran Academy is a well-known orthodox sect in my Tiannan Dao Region, a second-rate sect, and the Haoran Qi you cultivate is also a representative of the orthodox path. So, does that mean that everyone who enters your Haoran Academy is an orthodox person?"

Lin Xiao asked with a faint smile.

"That's for sure. Anyone who wants to cultivate righteous energy must have the world in their heart, slay demons and monsters, and save the common people. If there is even the slightest evil thought in their heart, they will not be able to cultivate righteous energy!"

"Because this righteous energy is effective against demons and evil spirits, and is especially effective in slaying evil. If someone from the demonic path wants to cultivate this righteous energy, they are undoubtedly inviting trouble and courting death!"
