At this moment, Yuan Pengwang and Xu Yuntian’s eyes were bloodshot, as if they could tear Liu Chuantian apart with their bare hands.
The men they had once considered as brothers in arms had now become the very ones who sought to kill them. It was an unbearable betrayal, something no one could possibly accept.
Liu Chuantian’s clear and piercing gaze turned to the list of eighteen names. With a flick of his finger, he erased his own name, “Liu Chuantian,” from the list.
“Why should I be listed alongside them?” he asked, his voice indifferent. He then looked at Yuan Pengwang and Xu Yuntian with a cold, contemptuous sneer. “You are willing to be his dogs, but I, Liu Chuantian, am not!”
“He did save my life. He taught me, guided my cultivation, and even helped me start a family,” Liu Chuantian continued, his gaze fixed on Ye Wushuang. His voice turned sinister. “But am I supposed to spend my entire life repaying him?”
His words seemed to be a challenge to Ye Wentian, as if questioning the very notion of gratitude and loyalty.
Yuan Pengwang sneered in disgust. “So, that’s why you killed the descendants of Lord Ye?”
“If you felt that Lord Ye’s kindness was not worth a lifetime of repayment, if you didn’t want to bear the name of the Ask-the-Heaven Guard, you could have simply left. Why did you harm the Ye clan?”
“In the past, the Heavenly Mechanism Bureau and the Holy Dan Sect, along with the five great families, attacked the Ye clan. The protective formation left by Lord Ye could have held them back long enough for us to escape with the Ye clan members. There would have been casualties, but we wouldn’t have been annihilated!”
“It was you, wasn’t it? You were the inside man. Otherwise, how could they have so easily broken into the Ye mansion?”
“It was you who knew everything about us seventeen, knew how we would flee and hide, and guided them to hunt us down until we were all dead, wasn’t it?”
Liu Chuantian let out a cold snort, his voice indifferent. “Why should he, Ye Wentian, be a legendary figure like a deity in the Qingyun Empire?”
“I, Liu Chuantian, can be one too!”
“If only…” Liu Chuantian paused, his voice dripping with resentment. “If only he had passed the Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision to me, I wouldn’t have done any of this!”
The Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision!
One of the three great legacies of the Ye clan.
“He gave the Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision to Feng Mo and Yin Yun, but not to me!”
“You’re lying!” Xu Yuntian shouted, his face flushed with anger. “Lord Ye had already said that you were not suited for the Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision!”
“He passed you a heavenly king-level spiritual decision, enough to reach the Guanyuan realm!”
Liu Chuantian sneered. “But that spiritual decision is nothing compared to the Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision. He never trusted me, just because I am from the Liu clan!”
“You’re lying!” Yuan Pengwang roared, his anger uncontrollable. “If Lord Ye hadn’t considered your feelings, he would have wiped out the Liu clan long ago. Are you even speaking like a human being?”
Both men were utterly furious.
It was at this moment that Ye Wushuang finally understood everything.
Liu Chuantian had played a significant role in the destruction of the Ye clan. He was not content with being an Ask-the-Heaven Guard; he wanted to be a legendary figure like Ye Wentian. He coveted the Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision and believed that Ye Wushuang was the one standing in his way.
“Liu Chuantian, you…” Yuan Pengwang began, but Ye Wushuang interrupted.
“Pengwang,” Ye Wushuang said calmly, looking at Yuan Pengwang and Xu Yuntian. “Step back.”
Their faces froze in surprise. They were already seething with rage, knowing that the black-clothed ancestor was none other than Liu Chuantian. What about their master?
Ye Wentian of the past, Ye Wushuang of the present, stood right there.
“Master, you…” Yuan Pengwang began, but Ye Wushuang repeated, “Step back. It will be dangerous for you.”
Yuan Pengwang and Xu Yuntian landed, their figures heavy with reluctance. Ye Yunzhe walked over, looking up at the sky and then at the two men. “The pain in our master’s heart must be greater than yours,” he said softly.
Upon hearing this, the two men clenched their fists tightly and bowed their heads. For five hundred years, they had been affected by the blood scabies spirit worm toxin, causing their strength to wane. In the past half year, they had barely managed to recover to the first or second level of the Myriad Methods realm. Yet Liu Chuantian was at the peak of the Myriad Methods realm. Against him, they truly couldn’t do much.
And as for their master… the situation didn’t look promising either.
Hundreds of feet above, two figures stood facing each other across the void.
Ye Wushuang’s gaze met Liu Chuantian’s.
“You know who I am, don’t you?” Ye Wushuang’s voice carried a hint of bitterness. “At this point, I don’t want to say anything about how disappointed I am. This is your choice.”
A trace of reluctance in Ye Wushuang’s eyes finally vanished. He looked at Liu Chuantian indifferently. “Five hundred years ago, you were already at the third level of the Myriad Methods realm. With your talent, reaching the Guanyuan realm in five hundred years should not have been a problem…”
“I suppose you obtained the coveted Tai Xu Yi Tian Decision after annihilating the Ye clan back then?”
Liu Chuantian let out a cold snort. “That’s a lie!”
