"Zi Xuan sacrificed her life to help Shushan repair the Demon Locking Tower for your sake."
"Even before she died, she passed on all her life's skills to you, allowing you to quickly become an immortal!"
"And now, not only do you deny that she is a descendant of Nuwa, but you also disregard her bloodline and slander her granddaughter as a snake demon!"
"Moreover, this granddaughter is your bloodline from your previous life, Lin Yeping!"
"You actually ignored it!"
"You are truly cold-blooded to the extreme!"
Li Yao's words were sharp and incisive, each sentence piercing the heart.
Each sentence made Xu Changqing's face turn paler.
Every word made Xu Changqing take a step back.
Xu Changqing wanted to refute, but he was powerless to do so.
Because Xu Changqing knew that what Li Yao said was true!
Li Yao was right, he has changed.
He started to change after he became the head of the Shu Mountain sect.
Becoming indifferent!
Become ruthless!
Everything now revolves around Mount Shu!
He didn't want it to be like this!
However, as the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, he had to do it this way.
Shushan is his home!
Mount Shu is everything to him!
He will absolutely not allow anyone to destroy Mount Shu!
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing's face darkened, and his gaze turned cold once again.
He raised his eyes and shouted sternly, "How dare you, an outsider, interfere in the affairs of Mount Shu?!"
Chapter 588 Ancient Secrets of a Peak Worldview
"really!"
"I can't be bothered with your Shu Mountain Sect's messy affairs!"
"However, I will not let this matter rest so easily since your Shu Mountain Sect captured my beloved disciple!"
"If only you had taken the initiative to admit your mistakes and released my disciple from the beginning."
"Perhaps, I can let it go for Jing Tian's sake!"
"However, your Shu Mountain Sect considers itself the number one immortal cultivation sect in the world, and is arrogant and domineering, even slandering my disciple as a snake demon!"
"Therefore, today I will definitely seek justice for my disciple!"
Li Yao's tone was very firm.
"He actually recognizes Jing Tian? How come I've never heard Jing Tian mention him before?"
"No wonder he's so familiar with the situation in our Shu Mountain!"
"But why have I never heard of such a powerful figure before?"
What exactly is his relationship with Jing Tian?
"Where exactly is he from?"
Xu Changqing felt extremely heavy-hearted, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
However, regardless of where Li Yao came from, he has killed so many Shu Mountain disciples today, and Shu Mountain is now irreconcilably opposed to him.
Just as he was about to make a move against Li Yao, a figure flashed out.
"Hmph, since the founding of my Shushan Sect, generations of disciples have diligently cultivated immortal arts, acted uprightly, subdued demons and imprisoned them in the Demon Locking Tower, protecting the human world from the disturbances of evil spirits. They are deeply loved by the people and are even revered as immortals in the Shu region."
"If it weren't for our Shu Mountain Sect, the world would have been overrun by demons long ago, and there would be no peace today."
“In the past, I witnessed you slaying demons and destroying their lair, and I respected you as a true man!”
"I never expected you to be so unable to distinguish right from wrong, spouting nonsense, not only slandering my Shu Mountain Sect, but also slaughtering my Shu Mountain Sect!"
"I, Situ Zhong, will never let you get away with this!"
The one who spoke was Situ Zhong, the Sword Immortal who had remained silent all along.
Although he had left the Shushan Sect for many years, he never forgot that he came from the Shushan Sect.
"This is utterly ridiculous!"
"That's right, your Shu Mountain Sect has indeed been subduing demons and monsters all along, that much is undeniable!"
"But you surrendered to the demons instead of killing them, and instead imprisoned them in the Demon-Locking Tower, using the Demon-Transforming Water to refine the demons into spiritual energy for your own use."
"Is this what you call being upright and honorable?"
Li Yao said sarcastically.
"Nonsense!"
"The Demon-Transforming Water in the Demon-Locking Tower is a reward from the Divine Realm for the merits of Shu Mountain in eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. It was bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi and is used to dissolve the demonic power of demons."
"The Demon-Sealing Tower thus became a symbol of the 'divine right of the immortals' of Mount Shu!"
"How dare you slander the Demon-Sealing Tower and Mount Shu, and even slaughter my Mount Shu disciples! Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Emperor's wrath and the wrath of Heaven that will punish and kill you!"
Situ Zhong said indignantly.
"Recognizing a thief as one's father!"
"You're so childish!"
"Back then, after the ancient war between the three races, the allied forces of humans and gods won, while the beast race suffered a great defeat and fled to another world, where they established the Demon Realm."
"In the name of fighting against the demon realm, Fuxi established a hierarchical system in the divine realm and proclaimed himself the 'Heavenly Emperor,' stipulating that the status of gods was higher than that of humans, that the divine race would rule the earth, and that humans must obey the rule of the gods."
"But later, the gods gradually became corrupt and wantonly enslaved the human race. The human race had no choice but to rise up in resistance and an uprising broke out!"
"Fuxi ordered the suppression, but the human race resisted fiercely."
"Fuxi was furious and ordered Nuwa to destroy humanity and to recreate a new human race that would obey the gods."
"Nuwa refused and was stripped of her divine status by Fuxi."
"Fuxi also sent down a flood that ravaged the world."
"Nuwa descended to earth to mend the heavens, control the floods, and lead humanity in a struggle against the divine realm!"
"If it weren't for Nuwa leading the human race to resist the gods, how could there be the human realm as we know it today? How could there be Mount Shu as we know it today?"
"You have put the cart before the horse. Not only do you deny the existence of Nuwa's descendants, but you also recognize a thief as your father and worship Fuxi as a supreme god!"
"It's utterly ridiculous!"
Li Yao's words were like a bombshell, leaving everyone from Shu Mountain buzzing in their heads.
Especially those disciples of Mount Shu!
They had no idea about these ancient secrets!
If what Li Yao said is true, then the actions of the gods are truly despicable.
However, the gods are high above and have always been revered by the world.
Would they really do something so heinous?
"absurd!"
"Nonsense!"
"Fuxi has always been selfless and compassionate towards all living beings. How could he possibly do something to destroy humanity?"
"You're talking complete nonsense and spreading rumors!"
Situ Zhong said angrily.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you can ask your sect leader!"
"The head of the Shu Mountain sect should be very clear about these matters."
"Look, your Shu Mountain sect has three generations of sect leaders here. You can ask any of them!"
Li Yao looked at Xu Changqing, Chang Hao, and Dugu Yuyun and said.
"Nonsense!"
"You fiend, spouting nonsense here, slandering Mount Shu, defaming the divine race, and sowing discord between the human and divine races, you truly have ulterior motives!"
"I am certain that you are a great demon sent from the Demon Realm to overthrow Mount Shu and then dominate the human world to achieve your ulterior motives!"
"Senior brother, if this demon is not eliminated, the human realm will not be at peace, and all living beings will suffer from its ravages!"
Chang Hao said with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.
"Indeed, this demon is extremely wicked and deserves to be punished; he must be eradicated!"
Dugu Yuyun quickly echoed.
"kill!"
Xu Changqing frowned, and finally uttered a single word.
He reached out and activated his magic, and a celestial sword flew out with a hum.
"Sky-Splitting Slash!"
Xu Changqing focused his mind and poured all his consciousness into the immortal sword.
Instantly, the immortal sword hummed and burst forth with light, slashing towards Li Yao in mid-air.
