Chapter 33 She's reversing cause and effect!
"This is the territory of my Holy Witch Clan. Outsiders are not welcome. Please leave!" Lan Mi's tone was icy, exuding a chilling aura.
"So you are Lan Mi? You are so disrespectful to your senior. No wonder the legacy of the Witch God Temple has declined to this extent in your hands."
"It's not your fault that the Holy Maiden of your clan couldn't protect her people, but losing their trust is the most tragic thing," Feather Fan said mercilessly.
As fellow saintesses, Lan Mi couldn't possibly have failed to notice the power of faith surrounding her. Yet, she pretended not to know her, not only failing to respectfully welcome her in but also attempting to expel her from her clan without her knowledge.
With such a narrow mind, I really don't know how she was chosen to be a saint!
Yu Shan came here only to quietly check on the current situation of her clansmen, and had no intention of competing with Lan Mi for the position of Holy Maiden.
But since Lan Mi is this kind of person, then she has no choice but to fight for her.
Lan Mi originally thought that Yu Shan was aloof and disdainful of power struggles, so she deliberately spoke coldly to make Yu Shan leave in a huff.
After all, the Holy Witch Clan is now in a weak position, so there's not much to fight for in the position of Holy Maiden.
But to my surprise, she was so unscrupulous as to reveal her identity directly.
Lan Mi couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry: "Feather Fan, what right do you have to act like a senior in front of me?"
If it weren't for the fact that protecting your soul cost the four elders most of their lives, they wouldn't have been so easily killed by their enemies later!
If all our clansmen hadn't sacrificed half their lives for you, our Holy Witch Clan wouldn't have become weaker overall.
The suffering that our people are enduring today is all thanks to you!
We were forced to migrate away from our spiritually rich ancestral land, and much of the legacy of the Witch God Temple was lost during the migration.
I, the Holy Maiden, have devoted myself to my people for a full 150 years. Why should I give up my position to you as soon as you return?
If you were still the former Holy Maiden of the Tongtian Realm, I would be willing to make room for you.
"But look at yourself now, you're only at the Spirit Fusion Realm, yet you dare to presume to act like a senior in front of me?"
Lan Mi grew angrier as she spoke, her beautiful face contorted with rage.
Yu Shan was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t expected that her people had suffered so much because of her. A deep sense of guilt almost overwhelmed her.
At that moment, she wished she could atone for her sins with her death and repay the suffering her people had endured.
Surrounded by boundless negative emotions, a warm feeling suddenly came from her abdomen. Yu Shan clearly sensed that it was Xi'er in her belly comforting her in a silent way.
At the same time, Xiao Bao sensed her extreme sadness. It gently rubbed its head against her palm, conveying a strong emotion: Don't be sad, Xiao Bao is with you!
Xiao Bai put his arm around her shoulder, pulled her into a tight embrace, and gently kissed her hair.
Mao Li said, "Master, don't fall for her tricks. She's reversing cause and effect!"
You first used time reversal to save your people, suffering a backlash from the heavens. Only then did the elders and people of your people sacrifice their own life force to preserve your soul.
This is them repaying a debt of gratitude, not you actively demanding a return.
If you had chosen to save yourself back then, the Holy Witch Clan might have been wiped out five hundred years ago. Why then would they have suffered so much because of you?
Mao Li's words enlightened Yu Shan. Ever since the day she awakened her memories of the Holy Witch Clan, she had been burdened with a deep sense of guilt, always feeling that she owed her clansmen something.
Only now did she realize that the clansmen had sacrificed their own life force to preserve her soul, and the elders had used their life force to open the teleportation array for her. All of this was imposed on her by them, and it was not her own choice.
Why should she feel guilty about this?
As the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the rise and fall of her people during her reign, never considering her own selfish interests in the slightest.
When faced with the life and death of her people, she did not hesitate to choose to protect them, and for this she almost perished.
She really doesn't owe them anything.
Yu Shan finally broke free from the siege of negative emotions and said frankly, "Lan Mi, during my hundred years as the Holy Maiden, I led the Holy Witch Clan from a middle-level power to a top-level power."
How glorious was the Holy Witch Clan back then? No major power in the Misty Heaven dared to underestimate our clan.
You have been a saintess for 150 years, yet you have caused my clan to grow weaker and weaker, becoming a small and insignificant clan that even a mid-level sect can bully.
Tell me, do I have the right to act like a senior in front of you?
After saying these words, Yu Shan formed another hand seal, easily breaking the isolation barrier set up by Lan Mi.
Then she called out loudly to her people inside the fence: "Fellow villagers of the Holy Witch Clan, Feather Fan has returned!"
