"Yes! That's right!"
"I am a sinner of the Chi family, I am a sinner of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land!"
"But are you all innocent?!"
Chi Tianhao suddenly roared and stood up, pointing at everyone and angrily spewing insults.
"Elder, when Chi Yuan's parents asked the family to seek justice from the Divine Firmament Sect, who suggested suppressing the matter?"
"Second Elder, when Chi Yang's parents wanted to leave the Holy Land to find Chi Yuan, who said that Chi Yuan's return would affect Chi Yang's state of mind? Who said that Chi Yang might develop inner demons due to guilt and that Chi Yuan should never be allowed to return? Who insisted on placing Chi Yuan's parents under house arrest?"
"Third Elder, do you think you're any better? Don't think I don't know you wanted to secretly find Chi Yuan and get rid of him! Why didn't you think of saving him back then? You're supposed to be his ancestor!"
"And you, you, all of you, do you think you're innocent? Don't you bear any responsibility at all? When the decision was made on how to deal with Chi Yuan, who among you raised any objections? Who among you felt any sympathy for Chi Yuan or wanted to seek justice for him?"
"And what was your attitude when I went to recruit the Divine Sun Body? You all told me not to offend him and to do whatever it takes to win him back. Have you all forgotten?"
"I deserve to die, I am unforgivable, but don't you all bear any responsibility? Now that something has happened, you all come to curse and accuse me. Before this happened, where were you, giving orders and pontificating?!"
Chi Tianhao's indiscriminate attack left all the saints of Tianchi with ashen faces, yet they were unable to refute him.
Chi Tianhao was telling the truth. Before the incident, none of them had thought about trying to persuade Chi Yuan to come back to him.
In their eyes, a branch disciple whose cultivation had been crippled was utterly insignificant. No matter how much injustice and suffering he endured, he was not worthy of their sympathy or pity, because Chi Yuan was completely worthless. If Chi Yuan were not Chi Yang's elder brother, he wouldn't even have the right to let them know his name.
Not only that, they also harbored a strong aversion to Chi Yuan because of Chi Yang's deep guilt towards him, believing that Chi Yuan would hinder Chi Yang's cultivation and might even cause Chi Yang to develop inner demons.
Therefore, they all agreed that Chi Yuan's parents should be placed under house arrest to prevent them from searching for Chi Yuan. Some even wanted to secretly eliminate Chi Yuan to completely remove the demons from Chi Yang's heart.
It can be said that the current situation of Tianchi Holy Land and Chiyuan is not the fault of Chi Tianhao alone, but the responsibility of the entire decision-making team.
Chi Tianhao did not insult them wrongly.
As for recruiting those with the Divine Yang Body, this is also a consensus among the decision-makers. If they were in the same situation, the outcome would probably be similar.
It can only be said that those who lack empathy and only see profit and opportunity are destined to suffer this fate.
Even now, they are not filled with regret or anger because of Chi Yuan's suffering, but because Chi Yuan possesses the Chaos Saint Body.
They even harbored the illusion that no matter how strained things became, Chi Yuan was still a member of the Chi family, with Chi family blood flowing through his veins. They believed that as long as they took the initiative to admit their mistakes and tried their best to win him back, Chi Yuan would still return to the Chi family and the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.
Thinking of this, many saints have already begun to discuss in private the resolution to remove Chi Tianhao from his position as the Holy Lord of Tianchi, strip Chi Yue of her status as the Imperial Daughter, abolish her cultivation, and expel her from the Tianchi Holy Land, in order to give Chi Yuan an explanation and try to win him back.
Of course, the Shenxiao Sect cannot be let off the hook either. The justice that was not sought before must be rectified in time.
As for confining Chi Yuan's parents and preventing them from seeking out Chi Yuan's guilt, they can simply shift the blame onto Chi Tianhao, while the parents pretend to be kept in the dark. Perhaps this way they can get away with it.
Just then, a Venerable-ranking deacon of the Holy Temple appeared and reported to Chi Tianhao: "Holy Lord, Prince Chi Yang has come to the Holy Temple with his parents and requests to see you."
Upon hearing this, Chi Tianhao frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him. He said in a deep voice, "Please let them in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The esteemed steward immediately came out of the hall to greet them, and before long, Chi Yang and his wife Chi Li and Lin Huixin arrived at the temple.
"Yang'er, what's going on here?"
The Third Elder looked at Chi Yang with a puzzled expression and asked in a gentle voice.
"Lord Chi, and all the senior Lords of Tianchi, today my wife and I are taking our son Chi Yang away from the Tianchi Holy Land. From now on, we will sever all ties with the main branch of the Chi family and the Tianchi Holy Land, and have no further involvement with them. We have come here to bid you farewell."
Chi Li's expression was indifferent. Facing these saintly and powerful beings who had once made him tremble with fear and dare not even breathe loudly, he felt no fear at this moment, only disgust and hatred.
He once didn't understand why his lineage would break away from the main family of Tianchi, preferring to give up the resources of the Chi family and the Tianchi Holy Land, severing all ties, and willingly settling down in a small town in the Daqian Kingdom.
Now he understands.
This is a den of demons, merely disguised as a righteous sect.
"What did you say?!"
Chi Li's words caused an immediate uproar. All the saints glared at Chi Li angrily and rebuked him sternly.
"Chi Li, do you know what nonsense you're spouting?"
"Chi Yang is the imperial son of our clan, the future leader of our clan. Are you crazy to take him away?"
"Chi Li, I know you harbor resentment towards the family's sacred ground, but you can't destroy Chi Yang! He's your son, how can you destroy him?!"
"Don't say such nonsense again, or I will never forgive you!"
...
Chi Tianhao's eyes were complicated. He naturally did not want to let Chi Yang go. After all, Chi Yue would definitely be punished. If Tianchi Holy Land lost the princess and then the prince, wouldn't it be in a situation of being unable to find successors?
Now that all the saints in the Holy Land have greatly reduced their lifespans and the Venerables have suffered heavy casualties, the Holy Land may even face a shortage of core strength in the future. It can be said that we are counting on Chi Yang, who possesses the Supreme Bone, to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Chi family and the Heavenly Pool Holy Land. There is absolutely no room for failure.
However, if Chi Yang is determined to leave, can they stop him? Would they dare to force him to stay?
Having just suffered a calamity of fate, if Chi Yuan's family were to suffer further consequences, the Heavenly Pool Holy Land would likely be truly doomed...
Chi Li had clearly grasped this point, so he was completely fearless. Facing the angry accusations of the saints, he said coldly, "Yang'er has already told me about my son Chi Yuan. I never expected that you would be so heartless and vicious! For an outsider, who is also the culprit who harmed my son, you have actually slandered my son as a demonic cultivator who possessed his body, and even wronged him as that ancestor who fell into the demonic path, trying to drive him to his death!"
"How can we tolerate such treatment of my son?!"
"Either let my family of three leave today, or my family of three will commit suicide here. Let's see if your Heavenly Pool Holy Land can bear such karma!"
