As they traveled towards the central region, Song Xia and his group took down several more forces from the Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect. One of the managers not only defected to them but also used his power to suppress everything he could.
"We joined the Divine Origin Sect because of its reputation as the number one sect in the world, but we were extremely disappointed after entering." Manager Xu Da smiled sadly. "There is serious infighting within the sect. Everyone prioritizes their own interests. The discipline of the disciples is mostly indulgent and biased. Disciples without power can only be relegated to the margins. After many years in the sect, we are extremely disappointed, so we asked to come here."
Song Xia realized that this was the case. She had thought that these people in front of her, regardless of their talent or cultivation, should not be in such a harsh and cold place.
Shi Shuangzhi asked, puzzled, "If that's the case, why not just leave the Divine Origin Sect directly?"
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to escape." Shi Liuchuan's expression was cold. "The Divine Origin Sect would rather lose a genius within the sect than see them become famous outside."
“That’s right.” Xu Da took a deep breath. “Before us, there were several senior brothers whose talent and cultivation were even greater. Because they suffered unfair treatment, they asked the elders of the sect to uphold justice. However, they did not get justice and were stripped of their cultivation and expelled from the sect. We then learned about the dangers involved and only dared to live a life of ignominy.”
"The number one sect in the world, the sect that gave birth to the savior, is so biased in its management. No wonder disasters are so frequent in this world." The cultivator standing with Xu Da did not hide his disgust for the Divine Origin Sect. "The fact that such a sect did not bring about its own destruction shows that the way of heaven is unjust."
"It will be soon," Song Xia said calmly. "The Divine Origin Sect has been like this for a long time, so there are quite a few cultivators like you who oppose it. What savior? To this day, who have they saved? It's probably just a gimmick created by the two sects to control the world."
"But after all, it was the Nine Heavens Palace's calculation. The Nine Heavens Palace wouldn't deceive the world for their sake, would they? Also, I heard that it was the two saviors who stepped in to stop the crisis when Thousand Island was attacked by monsters."
"Nine Heavens Palace?" Song Xia scoffed. "If the Nine Heavens Palace's calculations were useful, would the world be getting worse every day? As for the crisis on Thousand Li Island, I haven't encountered any cultivators from Thousand Li Island yet, but Thousand Li Island is not a small force. Even the local cultivators couldn't do anything about it. I don't believe that two Golden Core stage kids could stop the crisis without exaggeration."
After Song Xia said that, Xu Da and the others also became suspicious. The main reason was that the reputation of the Divine Origin Sect had long been lost in their eyes, so it was not impossible that this matter was just the Divine Origin Sect creating momentum for those two so-called saviors.
Someone angrily said, "Does the Divine Origin Sect not fear divine retribution for acting like this?"
"It is precisely because the Heavenly Dao is gradually fading that such sects are allowed to grow so powerful. If the Heavenly Dao were pure and just, how could hypocritical and shameless sects like the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect grow so powerful? How could a fraudster like the Nine Heavens Palace, who deceives the world, possess such a lofty status?"
It seemed that Song Xia's rant had struck a nerve with the Heavenly Dao, causing the heavens and earth to change color instantly, but the storm quickly dissipated due to insufficient strength.
Therefore, Xu Da and others admired Song Xia and his group even more.
"I still don't know where you come from, senior?"
"Phoenix Wing Peak, a descendant of the true phoenix bloodline."
"True Phoenix Bloodline?" Xu Da and the others were taken aback. "Didn't the Divine Origin Sect say that Shi Tiankui, one of the saviors, was the last person in the world with the True Phoenix Bloodline?"
"The true phoenix bloodline can only be passed down through kinship. I only knew that Master Qing had the true dragon bloodline, but I had never heard that Fairy Su Mu had the true phoenix bloodline."
"Where did Shi Tiankui's true phoenix bloodline come from?"
Song Xia's eyes were filled with frost: "The truth will soon come out. A fake Phoenix bloodline could never be a savior."
If Xu Da and the others had any doubts before, now that they know the truth, they are completely convinced. Although the matter is absurd, they subconsciously choose to believe Senior Song in front of them. After all, the Divine Origin Sect has long lost all credibility and prestige in their hearts.
"Senior Song, your children all have the surname Shi. Are they related to Shi Changqing and the others...?" The group asked nervously, but in the end, they couldn't suppress their curiosity.
"All I can say is that my son also has the bloodline of a true dragon, and my daughter's bloodline of a true phoenix will soon be found as well."
This answer left Xu Da and the others speechless with shock. If the young man and woman before them were born with the bloodlines of a true dragon and a true phoenix, then what about the saviors of the Divine Origin Sect who were so widely touted? And what was the explanation for the return of the true phoenix bloodline? Could it be related to Shi Tiankui?
"Rumor has it that Master Changqing had a wife before Fairy Su Mu, and had twins with her. However, it is said that the brother and sister were not very talented because of their mother..."
Xu Da and the others looked at the young man and woman in front of them. They couldn't tell the girl's cultivation level, but the boy was a rare genius who could cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment at such a young age. If this brother and sister were indeed Shi Changqing's eldest son and daughter, then Shenyuan Sect had deceived the world from the very beginning.
And then there's Senior Song. If Senior Song was indeed Shi Changqing's first Daoist partner, then the Shenyuan Sect has been slandering Senior Song from the very beginning. After all, with Senior Song's cultivation level, how could he possibly be such a despicable person as the Shenyuan Sect has rumored?
Furthermore, given Shi Changqing's character, if his first Daoist partner had no redeeming qualities, why would he have married her? And why would the Shenyuan Sect have tolerated it?
Such a clumsy and flimsy lie, and they never suspected it before!
Xu Da and the others exchanged glances: "We swear to follow Senior Song to the death from now on."
“I don’t need you to do anything. I just don’t want the world to be misled by the Divine Origin Sect anymore. I hope that when we confront the Divine Origin Sect in the future, you can help clear up the doubts of the world.”
Xu Da understood: "We have long been disgusted by the hypocrisy of the Shenyuan Sect and have always wanted to expose their filth to the world. Please rest assured, Senior Song, regarding this matter."
Along the way, there were quite a few cultivators like Xu Da who had suffered oppression from the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect. After witnessing Song Xia's unpredictable abilities and Shi Liuchuan's true dragon bloodline, they all expressed their intention to follow them, either openly or secretly.
Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi still feel like it's a dream: "We didn't promise anything, so why did they support us so firmly?"
"It is evident how unpopular the Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect are on ordinary days."
“I used to think that the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect were invincible behemoths. Now I see that these behemoths are nothing but empty shells. In reality, they are rotten inside and out. With just a little external force, they can be overthrown from the inside out.”
