Because Chi Yuan was chasing Ye Chen too fast, the Heavenly Mirror failed to lock onto the scene immediately. Therefore, people outside did not hear Chi Yuan's last words. Only Jiang Yi and the others inside the tower, who had been tracking the two with their divine soul power, heard these words.
At first, they were wondering who the soul body that Chi Yuan killed was, but now they know that it was actually a split soul of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor, a giant of the demonic path!
This is simply unbelievable. If we refer to the strength level of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul that was killed in the past, wouldn't that mean that Chi Yuan has the means to kill a Saint?
You Rongxuanqing and You Rongmingxia were also quite surprised. Although they had long suspected that Chi Yuan was behind it, they were still shocked when it was confirmed.
You must know that when the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's split soul was destroyed, Chi Yuan was only at the Spirit King level. What kind of method was it that allowed Chi Yuan to destroy the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's split soul?
"Fu Feng, let me ask you this: did you truly annihilate the Blood Demon Ancestor's divided soul?"
Nangong Ming stared intently at Chi Yuan and asked, word by word.
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Chi Yuan remained calm and composed, responding with ease.
"This matter is of utmost importance; do not try to fool us!"
Nangong Ming's expression was cold and stern as he questioned again, "Is it truly a fragment of the Blood Demon Ancestor's soul?"
"If I said yes, would you believe me?"
A sneer appeared on Chi Yuan's lips. This wasn't a matter of whether he said it or not, but whether people would believe him. He couldn't produce any evidence, and his words were just empty promises. How many people would believe him if he said it?
Nangong Ming and the others were speechless. They naturally did not believe it. It was possible for a mid-to-high-level Saint to help Chi Yuan destroy the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul, but it was absolutely impossible for Chi Yuan to do it on his own, even if a Saint-level divine soul was attached to Chi Yuan's body.
Even with Chi Yuan's current cultivation level, his physical body is definitely not capable of bearing the power of a Saint-level being. He might barely be able to withstand the power of a Venerable-level being, but would the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul only have Venerable-level combat power? Surely it wouldn't be destroyed before it even had a chance to develop after just awakening, right?
It's impossible to even imagine. The Blood Demon Saint Ancestor is notoriously cunning, and even the righteous enforcers have a hard time finding his traces. How could he be so easily destroyed? Every time the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided souls developed to at least the mid-level Saint level, they were discovered before his whereabouts were discovered.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that he is a fragment of the Blood Demon Ancestor's soul?"
"The Holy Lord of Yaoguang, Tuoba Hong, asked."
"No."
Chi Yuan shook his head slightly, too lazy to explain further.
Without evidence, no matter how convincing the explanation sounds, it will be refuted, so what's the point of explaining? He can't possibly have someone search his soul, can he?
"Since there is no evidence, it cannot be proven that this soul body must be a fragment of the Blood Demon Ancestor's soul."
The Primordial Holy Lord Qi Lin descended and established the Dao.
"You mean to say that the two of us faked it?"
You Rongxuanqing spoke in an unfriendly tone.
Qi Lin remained noncommittal, disregarding whether he would offend the You Rong clan, and said solemnly, "I do not suspect that Fellow Daoist You Rong has forged memories, but without conclusive evidence, anything is possible, and we really cannot accept it."
“If Ye Chen is indeed a descendant of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor, then we have committed the crime of negligence and should be punished. However, everything requires evidence, especially since this concerns the reputation of us and our forces. Without conclusive evidence, we cannot admit our guilt.”
"This is what Lu Daoya, the Holy Lord of Mending Heaven, said."
Nangong Ming, Li Wuwei, and Tuoba Hong also expressed their support for this viewpoint. Even if they were branded as shameless, they could not easily admit their guilt, otherwise they would truly be unable to clear their names.
At this moment, many people were indeed cursing them for being shameless. Even Jiang Yi, Wu Ban, and Xiao Yu, the imperial son of Yao Guang Holy Land, and Ji Tianming, the imperial son of Butian Holy Land, who had been killed by Chi Yuan during the trial, felt ashamed.
This is truly a case of the boomerang hitting themselves. Before, they suspected that Chi Yuan was a demonic cultivator who had possessed someone else's body, and even forced Chi Yuan to prove himself. When Chi Yuan refused, they resorted to all sorts of sarcasm and attacks. But now, they have been accused of aiding and abetting evil, and of stubbornly refusing to admit that they were protecting the descendants of the Blood Demon Ancestor, thus ending up in a situation where they are being ridiculed and cursed.
This could even become an indelible stain on their lives, and in severe cases, it could turn into a demon in their hearts, damaging their Dao heart and making it impossible for them to advance to the Saint level.
The four were filled with remorse. It was a single misstep that had caused them eternal regret. They had completely ruined themselves. How could they ever face others as righteous people again?
"I can testify that the soul that was previously attached to Ye Chen's body and was killed by Fu Feng was indeed a fragment of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's soul."
At that moment, a majestic heavenly sound resounded above the Azure Lake. Immediately afterwards, a white-haired man dressed in white robes with a rather young-looking face and an old man with a body like a tree trunk, a face covered with divine patterns, green hair and green eyes walked out of the void and appeared in front of everyone.
"He is... the Xuan Tian Emperor?!"
Upon seeing the white-haired man, all the saints, including Rong Xuanqing and Fengyi, were shocked. They immediately bowed respectfully to Emperor Xuantian, saying, "Greetings, Emperor Xuantian!"
What?! The Xuan Tian Emperor?!
Hearing the titles proclaimed by the Holy Lords, everyone was utterly shocked. Who on the entire continent did not know of the existence of the Xuan Tian Emperor, the current leader of the righteous path, the Emperor Ancestor of the Xuan Tian Sect, and the Hall Master of the Righteous Path Law Enforcement Hall, Qin Xuan Tian!
At this moment, the legendary emperor actually visited the Yingyue Sect in person.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
From the highest-ranking members of the Yingyue Sect to the lowest-ranking disciples, everyone bowed down to Qin Xuantian with fervent reverence, as if they were seeing a god.
"He is actually the Xuan Tian Emperor?"
On Chi Yuan's side, An Yuxi, Rong Qingyan, and the others also looked up at Qin Xuantian with surprise in their eyes. However, they did not kneel down to Qin Xuantian like the others. Instead, like Chi Yuan, they bowed slightly and clasped their hands in greeting to Qin Xuantian.
"There's no need for such formalities, everyone."
Qin Xuantian smiled warmly and spoke gently. Then he raised his hand and gently helped all the people who had come to pay their respects to stand up straight.
Then, he looked at Chi Yuan with a kind gaze and said gently, "Young friend, I am Qin Xuantian, the sect master of Xuantian Sect and the hall master of the Righteous Path Law Enforcement Hall. I am willing to testify that the soul you killed was indeed a fragment of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor, but I need to disclose some scenes that may involve your secrets. Is that alright?"
"Seniors are free to disclose this information."
Chi Yuan did not object.
"good."
Qin Xuantian nodded slightly, then introduced the green-haired, green-eyed old man beside him to everyone, saying, "This fellow Daoist is the Divine Tree Saint of the Ten Thousand Mountains. He witnessed the whole process when Fu Feng and Ye Chen's divine souls fought in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and can prove that the divine soul was indeed a split soul of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor."
(Mentioned in Chapter 45)
"Greetings, fellow Daoists of the Righteous Path."
The Divine Tree Saint clasped his hands in a fist salute to the assembled saints, then raised his hand and waved it. A scene recorded by the image-recording pearl appeared in the sky above. "This is the scene of the battle back then. Please take a look."
