And there's more...
Is what this person is doing truly permissible by the righteous path?
Meng Wanwan turned her head to look at the people from the Shangguan family and the people from the Mirage Tower.
Here, the Shangguan family and the Shenlou family have the most members. In the path of cultivation, the Shangguan family is the head of the cultivation families, and the Shenlou family is also one of the four major sects.
They are exemplars of the righteous path and guides on the path of cultivation in this day and age.
But at this moment, they all watched in silence as Granny Han began the refining process.
She didn't understand.
Even in the TV dramas she watched in her previous life, those seemingly righteous families and sects would at least say a few words of justice when they saw something like this.
Why do they just let it go like that?
Meng Wanwan asked Meng Xiuyi, "Father, is what the Han family is doing also permitted by the righteous path?"
Meng Xiuyi seemed to be used to this kind of thing. She patted Meng Wanwan's head and said softly, "Whether it is allowed or not is just a matter of self-definition by those in power."
A mocking smile played on his lips.
Back when the Shanglin Sect first went berserk, how many aristocratic families did they slaughter in search of cultivation resources?
How many people in the righteous path have spoken out for those powerful families that were wiped out overnight?
Only in the secluded mountains does a post occasionally appear exposing their evil deeds to the public.
However, the clearing notice can only be issued to individuals, not to an entire sect.
Most of those scumbags from the Shanglin Sect are still alive and well, aren't they?
The people in the lava bobbed up and down, struggling, and occasionally their hands could be stretched out as if they were calling for help.
Meng Wanwan spoke very softly, but it was just too quiet inside the cave.
The conversation between the father and daughter was like a knife piercing the hearts of everyone present.
Some people turned their heads away and didn't say anything.
Some people glared at them angrily.
Chi Yun sneered, "A mere rogue cultivator, what do you know about the righteous path? Your cultivation follows the path of parroting others' ideas, of course you feel no pressure at all."
"But you don't know how we aristocratic families and sects survived after the war between gods and demons?"
"In a great battle, all the powerful figures of our sect perished, our sect suffered losses, and our inheritance was hindered. Isn't this one of the reasons for the current decline of the path of cultivation?"
"How can we restore the Nine Realms Continent to its former glory? We must follow the example of our predecessors and take it one step at a time, figuring it out ourselves. And this path will inevitably be filled with all sorts of sacrifices."
His gaze turned to Granny Han with a conflicted expression: "I don't know if the current situation in the Han family matches what I said, but I do know that, firstly, this is an internal family matter and has not affected anyone outside the Han family, so we have no right to interfere."
"Secondly, right and wrong are not something an ignorant rogue cultivator like you can define. The future of these Nine Realms depends on the sacrifices of sects and families like us. What right do you have to judge?"
He sneered, "Don't always use your air of knowing everything to judge your ignorant field. This is a matter concerning the entire Nine Realms Continent, not a trivial matter where you might fight tooth and nail for a single spirit stone. You short-sighted people have no right to comment."
"Don't even mention sacrificing two people, even sacrificing an entire clan would be worthwhile if it could bring even the slightest progress to the Nine Realms Continent."
"If we're talking about sacrifice, why didn't she sacrifice herself?" Helian Xiao interrupted Chiyun's self-righteous argument without any politeness.
He held his greatsword in his hand and hurled it, aiming it directly at Granny Han.
Granny Han's smile faltered for a moment, then she quickly retreated, planting her greatsword where she had just stood.
Granny Han asked in a low voice, "Young Master Helian, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Helian Xiao sneered.
"Are the Han family really not afraid of my punishment, Xiaoshanyou, for doing these things in front of my Helian family?"
"Han family, Mirage, have you forgotten what my principles have been since my birth?"
Helian Xiao leaped into the air, landing lightly on one foot on his greatsword.
His handsome features were coldly fixed on the molten lava.
Seeing that things were not going well, Granny Han immediately took out a formation plate and threw it by the pool.
Helian Xiao stepped on it, but failed to break the barrier formed by the array plate.
Taking this opportunity, Granny Han quickly formed a hand seal and muttered something under her breath.
After a series of piercing cries, there was no more movement in the pool.
Helian Xiao was furious. He roared, "Han family, how dare you! Since the birth of my Helian family, we have proclaimed to the world that no one is allowed to do anything out of line, otherwise, we will surely be punished."
"Granny Han, I, Xiaoshan You, do not accept Master Chiyun's excuses. Right is right, and wrong is wrong! The Helian family will definitely pursue this matter to the end, or else, we'll meet again in Hundred Flowers Forest!"
This time, Granny Han's gaze finally darkened.
"Young Master Helian, why press this so hard? Although the Hundred Flowers Forest has entrusted the Helian family with the responsibility of investigating the Nine Realms, the Helian family must also be aware of the reality. That person in the Hundred Flowers Forest has not appeared since five hundred years ago."
As she said this, a hint of mockery appeared in Granny Han's eyes.
"We don't even know if that person is alive or dead. Even if she is, she has turned a blind eye to the terrible state of our Nine Realms all these years. We have to save ourselves, and she still wants to control us. Young Master Helian, be careful not to incur the wrath of the masses."
Having said that, Granny Han no longer held back and grabbed at Helian Xiao with her bare hands.
Helian Xiao felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
He exclaimed in shock, "You..."
Granny Han smiled faintly, and her sharp spiritual energy pierced into Helian Xiao's skin.
A bright green light mixed with a clear white light blocked Helian Xiao's path.
He turned around and saw Meng Wanwan and Shangguan Liuyue forming hand seals, looking at him.
Helian Xiao laughed loudly: "Thanks!"
Meng Wanwan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shangguan Liuyue.
Shangguan Liuyue looked at her and said helplessly, "Sigh, I feel like this whole thing is pretty disgusting."
Meng Wanwan smiled: "What a coincidence, I think so too."
What the hell is this stuff made from living people? As a promising young woman of the 21st century, Meng Wanwan felt her worldview had been shattered.
The Nine Realms Continent has fallen, surely because of the despicable bastards who ruined it.
The Shangguan family originally had no intention of making any moves. The Shangguan family was the family with the most complete lineage, so they didn't have many disgusting things to do.
It can be said that they are a relatively clean family.
If they don't do it, they certainly won't prevent other aristocratic families from doing it either.
So, I originally just wanted to be a spectator.
Just like during the war between gods and demons.
As a result, they still received a warning look from their ancestors.
As a result, the Shangguan family became even more timid.
The situation was different for Mirage. Since Mirage itself was dishonest, it couldn't allow the world to be too pure, so it directly confronted the Meng family.
