"Your abilities cannot be explained by the word 'talent' alone."
Nangong Ming said coldly, "Saint-level spiritual techniques, spatial laws, and even magic weapons capable of killing Spirit Venerables should not be something you can do with your current cultivation level, yet you can do them all. Is this also a talent?"
"Hmph, I bet this Qiankun bag and that demonic aura are all a show you put on yourself, aren't they? You're trying to confuse the public and cover up the fact that you've been possessed by a powerful demonic being!"
Li Wuwei spoke aggressively.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan's eyes turned cold: "I gave an explanation, but you say I fabricated it. Do you really think that just because you have a mouth, you can slander me at will?"
"You fiend, you still want to argue!"
At this moment, Gan Yang flew over and roared at Chi Yuan with a face full of grief and indignation: "You have clearly been possessed by the Great Demon. You are using the excuse of revenge to eliminate the scourge of the demonic path. Give me back my consort!"
"Chi Yuan, I heard Chi Yang say that you used to be an upright and righteous person who hated evil. But do you still have any of that spirit now? Ye Chen did wrong, but even if he did wrong, he didn't deserve to die! Don't you know how important his Divine Sun Body is to countless living beings on the continent? If you really weren't possessed by a demonic cultivator, why couldn't you give him a chance to atone for his sins? Why did you have to put him to death?!"
Chi Yue's eyes were also filled with tears, her face showing heartache.
"You people spout platitudes about morality and justice, using the so-called 'big picture' as a pretext to criticize others, but in your hearts you are nothing but selfish and self-serving schemes. You are a bunch of hypocrites!"
An Yuxi appeared beside Chi Yuan and looked at the crowd, criticizing them with sarcasm.
"You're right. You're only biased towards Ye Chen because he has the Divine Yang Physique. If my disciple's physique were better than Ye Chen's, would you still be acting like this?"
Feng Yaoyao, who appeared alongside them, sneered.
"My senior brother was never possessed by a demonic cultivator; you mustn't slander him!"
Ning Wan'er glared angrily.
“That’s right, Senior Brother could never have any connection with the demonic path!”
"You're slandering me!"
"We believe that our senior brother is innocent!"
Lu Ziling and her six fellow disciples came to Chi Yuan's side to speak on his behalf. When Chi Yuan was framed by Ye Chen before, they were unable to stand by his side. This time, even if they were to stand against the entire righteous path, they would still stand with their senior brother and give him their unreserved trust!
“My Yingyue Sect can also vouch for him.”
Yu Ling Shuang also appeared and stated that Chi Yuan had accepted Yu Bing He's inheritance and would be the future sect master of Ying Yue Sect. Ying Yue Sect had no reason not to stand on Chi Yuan's side.
"I also believe in my elder brother!"
At this moment, Chi Yang stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "My elder brother has never changed his heart towards the righteous path. Since he said that Ye Chen's heart is with the demonic path, then Ye Chen must be inseparable from the demonic path. Killing him is not to eliminate a scourge for the demonic path, but to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path!"
Chi Yuan gave Chi Yang a deep look, then calmly stepped forward and said, "You keep saying that I killed Ye Chen to eliminate the future leader of the righteous path for the demonic path, then I will show you what the true face of the future leader of the righteous path in your eyes really is!"
After saying that, he turned to You Rong Xuanqing and said, "Senior Xuanqing, please tell me some of the truth about Ye Chen."
"Can."
You Rongxuanqing nodded in response and said slowly, "You only know that Ye Chen is the son of a demonic cultivator, but you don't know that he has another identity. He is the descendant of Lin Xiao, the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor, who has been the leader of the demonic path for thousands of years!"
These words caused an immediate and earth-shattering reaction.
"What?! Ye Chen is a descendant of the Blood Demon Ancestor?! This... how is this possible?!"
Nangong Ming looked incredulous and exclaimed in surprise.
The descendants of ordinary demonic cultivators are not the same as the descendants of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor. The demonic nature of their bloodline can never be washed away. No matter how they are taught, they will eventually be influenced by the demonic nature and fall into the demonic path. They can be said to be born demons!
Li Wuwei, Qi Lin, Lu Daoya, Tuoba Hong, and Chi Tianhao were all utterly shocked. Who was the Blood Demon Ancestor? He was the mortal enemy of the current Xuan Tian Sect Emperor Ancestor, Xuan Tian Emperor, who had brought countless disasters to the righteous path. And Ye Chen was actually a descendant of this demonic tyrant whose crimes were beyond description?!
Yunlan Mountain was also shocked. No wonder the Rong family did not stand on Ye Chen's side even though they knew Ye Chen possessed the Divine Yang Body. It turned out that they knew Ye Chen was a born demon child and was destined to become a great calamity, so they decisively severed ties with Ye Chen.
Fortunately, he pulled back from the brink and changed his stance to support Chi Yuan, otherwise he would have been in deep trouble.
Feng Huai, Feng Yi, and Feng Kun were also somewhat taken aback. They were unaware of this situation and thought that the Rong clan only supported Chi Yuan because he possessed the Chaos Saint Body. Sure enough, the women of the Rong clan were all very scheming.
"Is Ye Chen a descendant of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor?"
Jiang Yi, Wu Ban, and the other imperial princes were equally stunned by this truth. They had been focusing their suspicions on Chi Yuan, but it turned out that Ye Chen was the real traitor of the demonic path? Then... weren't they aiding and abetting evil?!
On Chi Yuan's side, apart from Chi Yuan, the others who did not know that Ye Chen was a descendant of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor were equally shocked. They all knew that Ye Chen was not a good person, but they did not expect him to have such an amazing identity.
"No wonder my senior brother treated him so well back then, but he turned around and framed my senior brother, destroying his cultivation. It turns out he was a treacherous villain all along!"
"We never imagined that such a great demon was hiding among us. Luckily, we distanced ourselves from him in time, or we would all have fallen victim to his evil deeds!"
"Hmph, it must have been that demon who used the Blood Demon's evil magic to control our minds back then, otherwise how could we have been so obsessed with him?"
"Yes, it must have been him!"
"Luckily, my senior brother killed him. Otherwise, if we had been forced by the family to marry him, we would have been completely ruined."
"I knew it! Senior Brother is on the side of justice! He's the one who's ridding the righteous path of evil!"
Lu Ziling and her six fellow disciples all felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a calamity.
They dared not imagine what would have happened to them if they hadn't realized their mistake in time and had remained under Ye Chen's control with the evil arts of the Blood Demon Ancestor. They also dared not imagine what a miserable life they would have faced if Chi Yuan hadn't killed Ye Chen.
That was absolutely terrifying, a hundred times worse than a nightmare!
"This wretched creature actually has such a background?"
You Rong Qingyan and You Rong Qingxian were still shaken. Fortunately, they met Chi Yuan, otherwise their entire lineage would have become the furnace for Ye Chen, this demon prince, and even their flesh and blood cultivation would have become his resources. Just thinking about it makes one shudder.
