Chapter 1125 You've Said It All
Feng Tianyu looked at Ye Wanxi standing in front of him, his eyes, tinged with blood from his demonic possession, flickered slightly, and he called out with some trepidation, "Yuanyuan..."
"Is this what you've been hiding from me all this time?"
The matter of Shen Yunniang is one thing, and the matter at hand is the other.
Ye Wanxi could roughly guess why Feng Tianyu wanted to keep it from her, but it was precisely because she knew that she felt even more heartache.
"Yuanyuan, I..."
Feng Tianyu considered his words and wanted to explain, but Ye Wanxi interrupted him first: "After you became a demon, did you suffer a lot?"
Feng Tianyu was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Did you suffer a lot? Maybe.
After Wu Yequan pulled off that stunt back then, although the people of the Demon Realm were eventually forced to retreat, the psychological trauma was not so easy to erase.
So much so that even after many years, people still fear the word "demon." Unfortunately, he fell into demonic possession and happened to be a fellow disciple of Wu Yequan. After his identity was exposed, he was naturally labeled a traitor by everyone.
Even though his master and fellow disciples never abandoned him and never turned against him with their weapons, people from other sects did not share the same deep feelings and were not as easy to talk to.
For many years, Fengtian Domain was hunted down by righteous people who claimed to be "slaying demons and eliminating evil" and by the demons under Wu Yequan's command.
Many years later, Feng Tianyu personally entered the Demon Realm and killed Wu Yequan, causing the remaining demons to be severely weakened and scattered like birds and beasts. Only then did people gradually accept him.
However, many people still hold prejudices against him because of his identity and often call for his execution.
Feng Tianyu remained silent, but Ye Wanxi already knew the answer in her heart, and her heartache deepened.
She pursed her lips and tentatively asked her second question: "After you became a demon, did you ever harm your fellow disciples, or... innocent ordinary people?"
“No,” Feng Tianyu replied without hesitation. “I only kill those who commit heinous crimes and are cunning and treacherous. That was true before, and it will be true now.”
"If that's the case, what are you afraid of?" Ye Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious when she heard him say that. Then she turned to look at Wu Yequan and said calmly, "You're saying that Senior Brother has fallen into demonic possession, so he's no different from you? I don't agree with that. Some people, even when they're stuck in the mud, still have noble aspirations, while others, even if they wear a gentle exterior, still can't hide their ugly and filthy inside."
Wu Yequan's smile suddenly froze, and his face immediately darkened.
Ye Wanxi ignored him and continued, "You just said that God is unfair, allowing some people to have wealth, power, and talent from birth, so you want to kill all those who are richer, more powerful, and more talented than you, take their things, and use them for your own purposes. You even call it taking back what's yours."
"How is your behavior any different from that of a robber? What's ridiculous is that you do robbery, yet you try to put on a glamorous facade, making people think that what you're doing is justifiable and a righteous act. But what did those people you killed do wrong? Just because they were good enough, they became sinful, while you, who are not good enough, become the victim. Isn't this just a disguised form of 'I'm weak, therefore I'm right'?"
"Because you are weak, useless, and incompetent, everyone in the world has to accommodate you and coax you, otherwise they owe you something. What about those ordinary people who can't even kill a chicken? Compared to you, who still has the opportunity to enter the immortal sect to cultivate, aren't those who struggle to make ends meet, working diligently from sunrise to sunset, yet often unable to even guarantee their family's basic needs, more pitiful and less favored by God than you?"
Ye Wanxi met Wu Yequan's increasingly cold eyes, tearing away his mask word by word, stepping on his sore spots one by one.
"You feel that your brother has taken too many advantages from you since birth, that your parents favor him, that the people they like also like him, and that they don't like you. So you go to great lengths to kill him, to kill those who 'wrong' you, but you never reflect on whether you are really worthless, or whether it's not that your parents don't value you, but that you yourself are incapable of taking on great responsibilities and keep people at arm's length?"
"No matter how bad they were to you, at least they never deprived you of food, clothing, shelter, or transportation. But those people I just mentioned, they weren't as troublesome as you, yet even having enough to eat and wear was a luxury for them. So according to your logic, it's right for you to rob those who are better off than you, and it's right for them to rob you too? But in reality, the people you killed the most were these ordinary people who had no power to resist."
"When you face those who are better off than you and look glamorous, you take everything with a clear conscience, and then you play the victim, grandly accusing yourself of injustice and demanding justice. But when you turn around and face those who also need justice, you change your tune, only saying 'survival of the fittest.' You can say whatever you want, but no matter how much you say, it can't hide your selfish nature."
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Not to mention the distant past, that idiot you raised has forgotten even his original name, yet he always remembers that no matter how many years have passed, no matter what the cost, he will resurrect you. But what about you? He has been missing for so long, his fate unknown, and you haven't even asked him a simple question."
Wu Yequan's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately knew who Ye Wanxi was referring to.
"It was just a young body I prepared for myself in advance, but unfortunately it was never used. Now that I have been resurrected, it is even less useful. A useless puppet has no reason to exist in this world."
Ye Wanxi was not surprised by his answer, or rather, she felt that it was exactly as she had expected.
"If even those who are absolutely loyal to you feel this way, then what about others? In the end, you will only ever love yourself."
The poor fool still thought that this person had some feelings for him, that he at least had someone to care about in this world, someone who was truly sincere to him.
In the end, it was nothing but a fabricated illusion by others, and all efforts were in vain.
"So what if I am?" The human skin she wore had been torn off, and Wu Yequan simply stopped pretending. "So what if I am selfish, hypocritical, cold-hearted, and ruthless? History is written by the victors. Once I become the victor, even the Heavenly Dao will submit to me and be trampled under my feet. Mere mortals are not worth dying for. Not only mortals, but all who disobey me will die. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish."
"Today I will use these hundreds of thousands of mortals to ascend to immortality, and I will first use the two of you as sacrifices for the formation!"
Without further hesitation, Wu Yequan activated the array above his head, heading straight for Ye Wanxi and the other person.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and dark clouds churning, much like a demon descending upon the world, foreshadowing impending doom.
