It's no wonder that the demons made this judgment.
They had witnessed Chi Yuan's performance in the Seven Absolute Tower Trial from beginning to end, and in their view, the only way to achieve such cultivation results at the Spirit Sect level was to be possessed by a powerful being.
Of course, they did not conclude that Chi Yuan was possessed by Chi Shang after listening to Chi Tianhao's analysis and judgment. Rather, it was earlier, when they saw Chi Yuan use the Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm, a Reincarnation Realm giant demon who had witnessed Chi Shang using this spiritual technique deduced that the person who possessed Chi Yuan was Chi Shang.
Therefore, the demons who originally came to seize Ye Chen decided to take Chi Yuan away instead after Ye Chen was killed by Chi Yuan.
They don't care whether Chi Yuan is a possessed body or not; as long as Chi Yuan has enough growth potential, it's worth investing in him.
However, not everyone genuinely wanted to push Chi Yuan to the position of leader of the demonic path. In comparison, they were more interested in figuring out how Chi Shang rapidly improved his cultivation level and mastered abilities above the Venerable level after possessing Chi Yuan's body.
After all, when it comes to possession, the demonic path is the expert among experts, but even in the history of possession in the demonic path, no one has made such heaven-defying progress after possession.
If they can master the method, they might be able to replicate it when they pass away and live a second life!
As one demonic force after another appeared, a terrifying sense of oppression, as if the sky were collapsing, enveloped the entire Yingyue Sect. All the disciples of Yingyue Sect felt a great terror of impending doom, and their minds were on the verge of collapse.
Qin Xuantian frowned slightly, raised his hand and unleashed a gentle force that enveloped everyone, neutralizing the demonic pressure from the demonic forces and allowing everyone to relax.
He looked up at the demonic forces in the sky, his eyes filled with a chilling light that could freeze the heavens.
With his strength, he could easily capture these demonic thieves without lifting a finger, but as the other party said, he could not easily take action against them, because each of these top demonic forces had the shadow of the Heavenly Abyss Supreme behind it.
Making a move against any of them could invite a bloody revenge from the supreme ruler behind them, triggering a terrible disaster.
This is also why the demonic path is still rampant even after he has been an emperor for so many years. These lackeys are not to be feared. The real source of chaos is the Heavenly Abyss Supreme. As long as the Heavenly Abyss Supreme does not die, even if the demonic path is destroyed a thousand times, it will still rise from the ashes.
"Young friend, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can touch you."
Qin Xuantian moved his lips and secretly transmitted his voice to Chi Yuan.
It's not that he can't take action against these demonic cultivators, but rather that he can't act before they're tainted by karma. This is because what the Heavenly Abyss Supremes fear most is being tainted by karma. After all, their physical bodies cannot leave the Heavenly Abyss, and once they are tainted by external karma, the cost of resolving it will be extremely high. The greater the karma, the more they avoid it.
Therefore, as long as Chi Yuan does not agree to go with the demonic path, he has a reason to take action when the other party tries to forcibly take Chi Yuan away. In this way, even if he kills him, the Heavenly Abyss Supreme behind him will not dare to act rashly and can only swallow his anger.
Chi Yuan remained calm and composed. He had no intention of joining the demonic path. Although he was disappointed with the righteous path, it did not mean that he wanted to join the demonic path. After all, his previous suffering was all due to the people of the demonic path, so why would he associate with them?
His gaze swept over the group of demonic cultivators, finally settling on Chi Tianhao, his expression icy cold: "So you wanted to see me possessed by the so-called Heavenly Ancestor of Despair?"
Chi Tianhao felt a pang of guilt, and under Chi Yuan's gaze, he sensed a trace of panic and fear. He forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "You are a member of my Chi family. How could I want to see this outcome? But all indications suggest that there is a high probability that you have been possessed by our clan's ancestor Chi Shang, who was obsessed with demonic possession and fell into the demonic path. Otherwise, where did you get the two spiritual techniques you possess, as well as the power to destroy the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor's divided soul?"
"Chi Yuan, if you weren't possessed by the Heavenly Ancestor, then you should explain to everyone where you learned your Great Evolution Overturning Heaven Palm and Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Force, and the source of that power. Otherwise, how can everyone believe you?"
Chi Yue said earnestly.
What if I don't explain?
Chi Yuan said calmly.
"That means you have a guilty conscience!"
Cangming Saint Lord Li Wuwei snorted coldly, "If you don't explain the source of these two spiritual techniques and that power, it proves that you can't explain them at all, or that you dare not explain them. Because you know that Tianshang Saint Ancestor has committed many crimes and is a great demon of the same level as Xuemo Saint Ancestor. Once it is exposed that you are the body possessed by Tianshang Saint Ancestor, the entire righteous path will not tolerate you, and Xuantian Emperor will not tolerate you either!"
Chi Yuan chuckled upon hearing this, showing no sign of panic despite his inability to explain the two questions. He calmly replied, "I will not explain these two questions, as they are my secrets. However, I can tell you all that I do not know anything about the Heavenly Ancestor of Sorrow, nor have I been possessed by him. From beginning to end, I have always been myself. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
"However, I advise you all to keep your faith. After all, I can't control cause and effect. If it brings you any disaster one day, don't blame me."
"Of course, if you are still not convinced, I don't mind giving you a little shock."
Seeing that Chi Yuan had made his stance clear and was unwilling to explain, but instead confidently urged them to believe, Chi Tianhao, Nangong Ming, and the others began to waver. They didn't know what kind of small shock Chi Yuan could give them, but they knew that this was a very important decision for them.
If they still suspect that Chi Yuan has been possessed by Chi Shang, it's fine if that's the case, but if it's not, they will suffer even more severe karmic repercussions.
"Our Northern Cold Divine Palace believes that the young master has not been possessed."
At this moment, on the other side, in contrast to the various demonic palaces, a snow-covered, windswept ice palace descended from the void.
It was none other than the Northern Cold Divine Palace, one of the top forces of the righteous path.
“My ancient warrior clan also believes in you, young master.”
"Our Celestial Academy also believes in you, young master."
“My Supreme Heavenly Palace is willing to vouch for you, young master.”
"Our Starfall Pavilion has complete trust in you, young master."
...
With the emergence of the Northern Cold Divine Palace, other top righteous forces appeared in this world one after another, and the holy lords of these forces all stood firmly on Chi Yuan's side, expressing their trust.
Only then did Nangong Ming and the other Holy Lords realize why the top forces of the righteous path hadn't appeared before—they had all been observing from the shadows.
