Chi Yuan's coldness disgusted Chi Yue, especially the harsh word "get out," which almost ignited a powder keg within her.
Chi Yuan is truly wicked. He took her kindness for granted and has no integrity whatsoever. If it weren't for Young Master Ye, she wouldn't want to have anything to do with such a person!
Chi Yue suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, "I am telling the truth. Do you know how serious the consequences of obsession turning into demonic possession are? Nearly ten thousand years ago, our clan produced a peerless genius who, at the young age of two thousand, stepped into the eighth level of the Saint Reincarnation Realm. However, due to obsession turning into demonic possession, he willingly fell into the demonic path and eventually became a great demonic tyrant, causing many horrific disasters. Do you also want to fall into demonic possession like this ancestor?"
Chi Yuan listened to these words without expression, but Liu Ruyan's expression was complicated as many memories were stirred up.
“What Fairy Chiyue said makes sense. Chiyuan, your obsession is too deep. You should really try to let go. Don’t you think you’re too stubborn now and have become a different person?”
Emperor Sword Sect's imperial son, Jiang Yi, walked over and echoed, looking at Chi Yuan with scrutinizing eyes.
Chi Yuan remained noncommittal, and said sarcastically, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering'? You haven't experienced my suffering, you haven't witnessed the evil I've encountered, so what right do you have to advise me to let go? How can delicate flowers and tender grass like you, who have had a smooth life since childhood and have been protected and escorted all the way, know what suffering is, what true evil is?"
"It's nothing more than self-righteously imposing one's own biased understanding on others, then thinking that one has grasped the truth. When others don't listen, one thinks that others are wrong and stands on moral high ground to impose criticism in order to show that one's own brilliance and correctness."
"To put it nicely, you are hypocrites who are ignorant of human suffering; to put it bluntly, you are a bunch of wicked and hypocritical people who commit evil deeds under various high-sounding banners, based on your personal preferences!"
"you……"
"Chi Yuan, do you know what you're saying?"
Upon hearing Chi Yuan's words, Jiang Yi and Chi Yue were both furious. Chi Yuan's words not only denied their character and personality but also insulted their righteous beliefs. They had kindly tried to bring Chi Yuan back, but Chi Yuan regarded it as an act of violence and evil and slandered them. It was outrageous!
The faces of the Holy Lords outside the Seven Absolutes Tower were also very ugly. At first, Jiang Yi and the others forced Chi Yuan to prove himself, which was at their behest. Chi Yuan must have guessed this as well. These words were less an insult to Jiang Yi and Chi Yue and more an insult to them.
Chi Tianhao sighed inwardly. The Chi family ancestor that Chi Yue mentioned was none other than the Heavenly Ancestor Chi Shang. He was once the greatest pride and faith of the Chi family, and was regarded as the hope for the Chi family to return to the imperial clan. However, he eventually fell into demonic ways and became a sinner of the entire righteous path. Is history going to repeat itself on Chi Yuan?
"You brought Ye Chen here, so you must have listened to some slander again, thinking that the fault lies with me and not him, and you want to clear his name, right?"
Chi Yuan's expression was indifferent, his gaze cold as he stared directly at Chi Yue.
Chi Yue's expression turned cold as she said, "Ye Chen did make a mistake, but he has deeply repented and is willing to make peace with you. Can't you give him a chance to make amends?"
"Give him a chance to win him back?"
Chi Yuan said mockingly, "Fine, let him cripple his cultivation and let me see his sincerity in trying to win him back."
"Senior Brother, I really didn't mean to ruin your cultivation. I truly know I was wrong and I'm willing to pay the price. But to ask me to cripple my own cultivation is something I simply cannot do. I haven't yet eradicated the demonic sects and taken on the responsibilities that come with being a divine body owner. How can I harm myself and let the demonic sects have one less major enemy?"
Ye Chen spoke sincerely and righteously, subtly digging another big pit for Chi Yuan.
Chi Yue's expression changed, and her gaze towards Chi Yuan became scrutinizing: "Chi Yuan, don't you know the principle that with greater talent comes greater responsibility? Ye Chen is a possessor of a divine body, shouldering the great responsibility of becoming the leader of the righteous path and destroying the demonic path. If he were to cripple his cultivation, wouldn't the demonic path be rid of a major threat?"
"Does he even deserve to be a leader of the righteous path? He speaks sweet words, but his heart is more despicable and vicious than anyone else's. If he were to grow up, he would be a great scourge to the world!"
Ning Wan'er said coldly.
“That’s right. No one knows Ye Chen better than me and Qingxian. He is now deeply tainted by demonic nature and has fallen into the demonic path. Sooner or later he will become a great enemy of the righteous path. And you still expect him to become the leader of the righteous path? That’s really foolish and ridiculous.”
You Rongqingyan sneered and criticized.
You Rongqingxian coldly replied, "I wasn't wrong when I said you couldn't distinguish right from wrong. You believed everything I said. Who knew that Ye Chen not only committed unforgivable evil deeds, but also mastered a Heaven-rank demonic spiritual skill? Even now, in front of a group of people who know him well, he lies repeatedly to cover up his true colors. You tolerate and trust such a hypocrite. Is this the behavior of the righteous path? You are clearly aiding and abetting evil!"
“Mother, Aunt, I know that my biological parents have a blood feud with you, but it has nothing to do with me. I don’t even acknowledge such parents. How can you transfer your hatred to me and slander me for falling into the demonic path just because I was born to them? I have lived in the Da Gan Kingdom since I was a child and have never left the Da Gan Kingdom. How could I have had the opportunity to come into contact with the demonic path?”
Ye Chen defended himself with a wronged expression.
"As former relatives of Young Master Ye, it is indeed inappropriate for the two of you to slander him like this."
Wu Ban, the imperial son of the Primordial Holy Land, stepped forward to speak up for Ye Chen, saying, "As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. No matter how great the mistakes of Young Master Ye's biological parents are, they should not be blamed on him. Yet you have labeled him as a member of the demonic path. I find it hard not to believe that you are deliberately fabricating lies in order to take revenge on him in a righteous manner."
"Putting everything else aside, Chi Yuan's decision to have Young Master Ye cripple his own cultivation raises suspicions about his true intentions. Right now, the suspicion that he has been possessed by a demonic cultivator has not been cleared. If he really has a great connection with the demonic path, wouldn't this move be eliminating a future leader of the righteous path for the demonic path?"
"Yun Teng, the prince of Yunlan Holy Land, said meaningfully."
not good!
Upon hearing this, the Holy Master Yunlan realized that things were going badly. Yun Teng's words were tantamount to putting Chi Yuan on the hot seat, and Yun Meng was firmly on Chi Yuan's side. Wasn't this offending Yun Meng as well?
As expected, Yunmeng was furious upon hearing this. She stood beside Chi Yuan and looked at Yun Teng with icy eyes, saying, "According to you, I am also an accomplice in eliminating the future leader of the righteous path for the demonic path?"
Yun Teng was startled and quickly said, "It wasn't Yun Meng, I didn't mean that..."
"Stop talking!"
Yunmeng interrupted Yun Teng and drew a clear line without hesitation: "Since your Yunlan Holy Land believes that Chi Yuan is a member of the demonic path and insists on standing on Ye Chen's side, then from now on, I, Yunmeng, will only recognize the identity of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and will no longer have any relationship with the Yunlan Holy Land and the main branch of the Yun family!"
