The main hall of the Shenxiao Sect.
"Sect Master, what exactly happened? Why did Ye Chen attract the Holy Master of the You Rong Clan? And why was Ye Chen sent to the Yingyue Sect for training? I demand an explanation!"
Yu Tianyue looked sharply at Shangguan Zhen and questioned him in a thunderous voice.
Although it is unclear what Rong Xuanqing meant by the struggle for destiny, it is obvious to everyone that Rong Xuanqing's actions were not well-intentioned towards Ye Chen. To put it bluntly, he was sending Ye Chen to his death!
He didn't understand why all this was happening. Wasn't Ye Chen's mother a member of the Rong family? Why would the Rong family, which had produced such a treasure, not treat her like an ancestor but instead persecute her? What was wrong with them?
Shangguan Zhen pondered for a long time, then sighed bitterly and said, "Master, it is all my fault..."
Shangguan Zhen knew that the crux of the problem lay with Chi Yuan, and the source of the problem was the framing three and a half years ago. So he explained the whole story in detail.
After hearing Shangguan Zhen's account, those present who were not fully aware of the situation exchanged bewildered glances. They never expected that everything would start from such a trivial matter. But what shocked and baffled them even more was that after Chi Yuan's cultivation was crippled, he actually managed to cultivate back to the fourth level of the Spirit King realm in just three and a half years, and even mastered a Heaven-rank spiritual technique. How was this possible?!
"Is what you said an exaggeration?"
Yu Tianyue frowned deeply, his aged face filled with a stern and solemn expression.
If what Shangguan Zhen said is true, then Rong Xuanqing's words about the destruction of the sect and the death of its people are not an exaggeration. Because everything that Shenxiao Sect did to Chi Yuan was enough to cause the sect's destruction!
Shangguan Zhen gave a wry smile: "Master, at this point, how could this disciple dare to exaggerate even a little?"
“I was also present at the time, and I can attest that what the sect leader said is true.”
The taciturn Elder Tianjian spoke up as a witness.
Yu Tianyue fell silent for a moment before speaking in a strained voice, "Then there are only two possibilities: Chi Yuan, like the legendary Emperor Ruyan, has awakened a divine bloodline, or his physique has evolved into a divine physique. Only in this way could Chi Yuan have such an unbelievable cultivation progress."
"Only these two possibilities would make the You Rong Clan favor Chi Yuan more. This also reasonably explains why You Rong Xuan Qing threw Ye Chen to Ying Yue Sect. It was probably to satisfy Chi Yuan's desire for revenge, thus creating an opportunity for Chi Yuan to kill Ye Chen."
After some deduction, Yu Tianyue had guessed the truth of the matter with a high degree of accuracy.
Shangguan Zhen also agreed with Yu Tianyue's judgment, echoing, "That senior didn't want us to get involved for this very reason. She also made it clear that ordinary people couldn't kill Ye Chen, and who else could kill someone with such great fortune besides Chi Yuan, who also possesses great fortune?"
"Hmph! Look what you've done!"
Yu Tianyue let out a thunderous snort, glaring menacingly at Shangguan Zhen, and said with heartache, "The fact that our sect has produced two unparalleled geniuses is a tremendous opportunity for our sect to shine for eternity. But now, one has been forced away, and the other has been thrown to serve as a whetstone for the other! What exactly are you doing as the sect leader? Do you even deserve to sit in this position?!"
"Master Yu, please calm down. This matter is not entirely the sect leader's fault. After all, opportunities are for those who are capable. It is certainly a great opportunity for two geniuses to emerge from the same source, but when the opportunity is too great, it is inevitable that one cannot handle it. If anyone is to blame, it is our sect for not having the fortune."
A semi-saintly ancestor pleaded on Shangguan Zhen's behalf.
"Hmph, you old codger, stop making excuses for him. If he couldn't handle two opportunities, surely he could handle one? My Divine Firmament Sect may not be as good as those holy lands, but are we not as good as the Moon Reflection Sect? Why is it that the Moon Reflection Sect can handle it, while my sect ends up only burdened with karma? Isn't it all because of the stupid things his sect leader did!"
Yu Tianyue rebuked him with a look of disappointment and frustration.
“Master is right. The fault lies entirely with me. If I had been more decisive and stopped it in time, the sect would not have lost the genius Chi Yuan. Even if two tigers cannot share the same mountain, our sect would still have been able to keep one, and we would not have ended up in this situation.”
Shangguan Zhen's face was full of self-reproach and regret. "That's not all. My biggest mistake was that I knew Pei Qingyun was deliberately spreading rumors to defame Chi Yuan's reputation, but for the sake of the sect's reputation, I didn't clarify the matter. Not only that, I also actively deceived Chi Yuan's parents, which led to him being wronged by his parents and family and ultimately being expelled from his home..."
“Master, I will not evade my mistakes, nor will I make excuses for myself. Since the cause and effect originated from me, then let all the cause and effect fall upon me. I am willing to resign from the position of sect leader and go to the border of Tianyuan to guard it for a hundred years!”
"you……"
Upon hearing these last words, Yu Tianyue's expression changed, and his hands trembled slightly beneath his sleeves.
Tianyuan is a hellish place.
There's a saying that circulates in the Spirit Origin Continent: "Better to enter the cycle of reincarnation than to enter the abyss of heaven."
Even if you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you still have the chance to be reborn. But once you enter the Heavenly Abyss, you won't even have the chance to be reborn.
Because those who enter the Heavenly Abyss, no matter how glorious their achievements, how high their status on the continent, or how terrifying their background, can only have two identities in the Heavenly Abyss: supplies and reserve supplies.
Regardless of their identity, their ultimate fate will be complete annihilation, both body and soul!
Of course, the danger level of the Tianyuan Borderlands is not as high as that of the Tianyuan interior, but as a borderlands that is such a terrifying place, how low can the danger level be?
Let alone guarding it for a hundred years, it would be considered lucky to survive for ten years. If it could return safely after a hundred years, that would be an incredible stroke of luck.
