This scene was recorded by the Divine Tree Saint with a recording bead when Chi Yuan used the Ninth-Order Spirit Venerable Experience Card to fight against the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor who possessed Ye Chen.
Since it concerns the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor and the battle took place on his own territory, the Divine Tree Saint naturally had to record the entire process to prove that the matter had nothing to do with the demon race. Otherwise, how could he sever ties?
After this incident, the Holy Lord of the Divine Tree personally went to the Hall of Righteous Law Enforcement and handed the footage over to Qin Xuantian for inspection. However, Qin Xuantian did not take any further action at the time, only asking the Holy Lord of the Divine Tree not to publicize it. It wasn't until recently that Qin Xuantian went to the Ten Thousand Mountains to invite the Holy Tree Saint to testify for Chi Yuan.
Seeing the battle scene on the recording bead, everyone was shocked. They never expected that Chi Yuan and Ye Chen had fought at such a high level. No wonder their hatred for each other was irreconcilable.
On Chi Yuan's side, An Yuxi, Rong Qingyan, and the others were equally shocked. They were also completely unaware of this battle, never expecting that the two had already engaged in a life-or-death struggle.
"Could it be that my husband and I first met after this battle?"
An Yuxi's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. That power clearly did not belong to Chi Yuan, otherwise he would not have been threatened by those three peak-stage transformed demons when they first met.
Moreover, this power should have disappeared after it was used. Otherwise, with the power of a peak Spirit Venerable protecting him, why would Chi Yuan have sought refuge under Feng Yaoyao's tutelage out of fear of being harmed by Pei Qingyun?
"So that's why Ye Chen suddenly disappeared from Jingyang City and hid in the Shenxiao Sect."
You Rongqingyan suddenly realized that when Feng Yaoyao and An Yuxi found her and wanted to kill Ye Chen, she wondered why Ye Chen had suddenly disappeared. After that, he hid in the Shenxiao Sect and even had two ninth-level Spirit Venerables protecting him when he participated in the five-year agreement battle. It turned out that he had been attacked by Chi Yuan.
She couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. She had been planning to secretly kill Ye Chen. If Chi Yuan hadn't killed the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul beforehand, her fate would have been unimaginable if she had attacked Ye Chen.
Without a doubt, Chi Yuan had unintentionally saved her life again!
You Rong Qingyan gazed at Chi Yuan with gratitude, her eyes almost overflowing with affection. She thought to herself, "So what if the young master is a little rough with me in the future? I owe him so much, what does it matter if I suffer a little? As long as the young master is happy!"
"We never imagined that this demonic child was truly a descendant of the Blood Demon Ancestor! We were all blind!"
Nangong Ming was filled with self-reproach and regret. The last bit of hope he had was completely extinguished. The evidence was irrefutable, and even the Xuan Tian Emperor himself had come out to testify. How could they still question it? He could not escape the crime of negligence. His reputation in the righteous path was ruined overnight, and his family would also have to bear a great infamy.
That's relatively mild. The more crucial point is that Ye Chen is on the side of the demonic path, so isn't Chi Yuan, who they've always suspected of being possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator, innocent? And with Chi Yuan's terrifying strength, which is completely inexplicable by common sense, if he wasn't possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator, how high would his talent be!
I'm afraid even having a divine body isn't enough.
Nangong Ming felt a bitter taste in his mouth. This karmic cause and effect was too great, so great that it might not only take his life, but also cause his own forces to suffer the backlash of karma...
Tuoba Hong, Qi Lin, Lu Daoya, and Li Wuwei also realized this, and were filled with remorse. How could they have been blinded by Ye Chen? How could they have not considered the possibility that Chi Yuan's talent far surpassed Ye Chen's? Now that they were entangled in such a huge karmic debt, how could they ever repay it?!
No!
Even if Ye Chen is a descendant of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor, it doesn't mean that Chi Yuan is innocent!
A sense of resentment welled up in the five people. They were unwilling to believe that Chi Yuan really had such an incredible talent. Even if Chi Yuan was not a member of the demonic path, he must have used some kind of abnormal cultivation method to have such heaven-defying strength, rather than relying on talent!
In fact, Chi Tianhao thought so too. Especially after seeing Chi Yuan use external force to kill the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul, it further confirmed his guess. He couldn't be sure whether Chi Yuan had been possessed, but the external force that Chi Yuan used definitely belonged to Chi Shang!
“Your Majesty, Nangong Ming never expected that Ye Chen was a descendant of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor and had already fallen into the demonic path. Nangong Ming has committed the crime of negligence in this matter, which almost caused a great disaster and made him a sinner of the righteous path. Afterwards, Nangong Ming will resign from his position as the sect master of the Emperor Sword Sect and go to the Law Enforcement Hall to plead guilty and accept judgment and punishment.”
With a look of shame, Nangong Ming confessed his guilt to Qin Xuantian.
Tuoba Hong, Qi Lin, Lu Daoya, and Li Wuwei all confessed their crimes and said they would relinquish their status as Holy Lords and go to the Hall of Law Enforcement to be punished.
What can they do if they don't admit it? With the Law Enforcement Hall hanging over their heads like a sword, they can't escape punishment even if they don't admit it; on the contrary, they will suffer even more severe punishment.
"Tianhao is also guilty of negligence in this matter. Afterwards, Tianhao will be removed from his position as the Holy Lord of Tianchi and go to the Law Enforcement Hall to be judged."
Chi Tianhao said with a complicated expression, "Nangong Ming and the other four are guilty, but so am I. In fact, my sins are even greater than theirs. After all, Chi Yuan is a member of the Chi family, and as the patriarch of the Chi family, I not only failed to protect Chi Yuan, but also helped Ye Chen, this born demon, to coerce and suppress Chi Yuan. It can be said that my sins are compounded."
Moreover, if Chi Yuan was not truly possessed, but rather a person of great fortune with even greater talent than Ye Chen, then he would suffer the backlash of double karma!
"Your Majesty..."
Chi Yue's eyes were filled with tears of regret. It was all because of her foolishness. In order to curry favor with Ye Chen, she slandered Chi Yuan. Now, she not only ruined herself, but also caused Chi Tianhao to suffer as well.
It truly proves what Rong Qingxian said: the cause of today will one day become the evil consequence that devours them...
Jiang Yi, Wu Ban, and the others were also devastated. If even the Holy Lords like Nangong Ming couldn't escape the punishment of the Enforcement Hall, how could they possibly escape it? Not only would they lose everything they had now, but their future would also be ruined. They would be utterly destroyed…
Yun Teng and Feng Ge were extremely relieved. Fortunately, they changed their stance in time, otherwise they would have suffered the same fate as Jiang Yi and the others. At this moment, they were extremely grateful to Yun Meng. If Yun Meng had not had the insight to recognize people and stood firmly on Chi Yuan's side, how could they have made the right choice?
Yun Lanshan and Feng Huai were both drenched in sweat. At first, they thought Yun Meng was blind to have missed the opportunity when Ye Chen took the initiative to propose. Now, looking back, if Yun Meng had given in back then, they would all have suffered a terrible fate. Who could bear the consequences of such an act?
"The Hall of Law Enforcement will deliver a fair verdict on your crimes."
Qin Xuantian then responded to the crowd.
The five members of the Nangong family exchanged glances and then suddenly declared in unison, "Your Majesty, it is indeed our oversight that Ye Chen is a descendant of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor. However, this does not prove that Chi Yuan is innocent. We still suspect that he has ties with the demonic path and that he may have been possessed by a powerful demonic being!"
"The biggest question is, where did he get the power to kill the Blood Demon Ancestor's divided soul?"
"I know!"
Just then, Chi Tianhao spoke in a deep voice.
