Chapter 523: Did the Heavenly Ghost True Person die?

"Why?" Chen Chuyang asked back.

Tianlian Zhenren pondered for a moment, then spoke truthfully: "The Yin Gui Sect has committed countless evils, their sins are towering; if they do not die, I cannot face the millions of souls they have slain."

"Slaughtering cities, killing people, seizing souls, capturing spirits, massacring mortals, not treating humans as humans—such a sect, is it still worth saving?"

"Their deaths are no loss, Fellow Daoist Chen Chuyang, are you really going to aid a tyrant in his cruelty?"

"As humans, from a human perspective, the Yin Gui Sect is unforgivable."

"Their crimes are too many, too many; at the slightest provocation they slaughter cities, and in their eyes, ordinary people are no different from livestock."

"Such a sect, such a lineage, need not exist; the Heavenly Heart Sect has fought the Yin Gui Sect for years, yet they are like weeds in the mountains—you can't clear them, you can't sweep them away, and after a while they spring back to life."

"No matter how many times we strike, it's the same."

"For this, the Heavenly Heart Sect has seen how many died, how many tragedies, how many deaths."

"This time, Tianlian Zhenren came not only on a mission but also to make Chen Chuyang understand this: some people can be saved, but the Yin Gui Sect is not worth his effort to save, and I don't know if Chen Chuyang would protect them."

"No matter what conditions Chen Chuyang and the Yin Gui True Person reach, she hopes Chen Chuyang will stand on righteousness and refrain from acting—he doesn't need to act, he just needs to not act; that's all."

"That's just your side of the story; why should I believe you?"

Tianlian Zhenren froze, lifted her head, and looked at Chen Chuyang in disbelief. Being in Longshe Cheng, he surely had seen the Yin Gui Sect's methods; if it weren't for his rise, Longshe Cheng would have long been slaughtered, turned into ghosts of the Yin Gui Sect, with no chance of reincarnation, enslaved and bound for life.

"He actually said that—it's simply unbelievable."

"Fellow Daoist Chen Chuyang, it seems you insist on siding with the Yin Gui Sect."

Tianlian Zhenren narrowed her eyes, her gaze locked on him, waiting for Chen Chuyang's final answer.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "Tianlian Zhenren, whether I act or not is not something you can stop."

"I know exactly what you're thinking."

"I also know exactly what you, the Heavenly Heart Sect, intend to do."

"I..." Tianlian Zhenren wanted to continue persuading Chen Chuyang, but he cut her off.

He raised his hand, not letting her speak.

"The crimes committed by the Heavenly Heart Sect are no less than those of the Yin Gui Sect; you merely hide them well."

"Heavenly Heart Sect and Yin Gui Sect are six of one, half a dozen of the other—there's no difference between them."

"Only the victor is considered the righteous path; the losers are all labeled as villains."

"As long as you are the victor, everything you say is right—Chen Chuyang naturally understands this principle."

"Tianlian Zhenren's thoughts are laughable and naive; as an elder of the Heavenly Heart Sect, she surely knows many inner workings and much darkness, yet she pretends not to see them, instead... exaggerating the sins of the Yin Gui Sect."

"Her heart deserves death."

"Or perhaps she did it deliberately."

"Chen Chuyang won't be fooled; the Yin Gui Sect indeed has problems, and in a sense, its Yin Gui True Person is more reputable than the Heavenly Heart Sect—at least they don't go back on their word, and Chen Chuyang can manage the Yin Gui True Person."

"The sect leader of the Heavenly Heart Sect, whom he has never met, Chen Chuyang knows is not easy to control, not a simple person."

"Once he makes a move, you can't manage him."

"\"Why do you say that? \" Tianlian Zhenren panicked, she hastily explained: \"Everything the Heavenly Heart Sect does is for justice. \""

"They are the side of justice."

"They are the orthodox path; the Yin Gui Sect is the demonic path."

"Chen Chuyang, must you become a demon?"

"Hehehe." Chen Chuyang gave a dry laugh, scoffing: "A demon? Who can say whether one is human or demon?"

"What I am is for me to say, not for you to decide."

"If you insist on giving me a title, then show your strength, knock me down, and you can naturally make up whatever you like."

"But if you lose, sorry, I'll send you to hell."

He bared his teeth, smiling.

Killing intent enveloped Tianlian Zhenren; I can save you, or I can kill you.

Your life now hangs in my thoughts.

Are you afraid?

Tianlian Zhenren felt as if in an ice cellar, trembling violently; her sword qi was crushed.

All her will, at this moment, was sealed.

Chen Chuyang patted her shoulder, mocking: "Do you have the right to crown me with the title of demon? Tianlian Zhenren."

"Even if the sect leader of the Heavenly Heart Sect, Tian Xin Dao Ren, came in person, he wouldn't dare be so reckless."

Bang.

Tianlian Zhenren's body flew out, blood spattering the ground, she fell prone.

She couldn't get up; no matter how she struggled, the result was the same.

Chen Chuyang walked up to her, pressed down with his right hand, applying infinite pressure to suppress Tianlian Zhenren, preventing her from lifting her head.

He crouched, stroked her head, and said lightly: "Next time, I don't want to hear those words again."

Tianlian Zhenren dared not speak at this moment.

Hongxue.

Here.

Shang Hongxue leapt out immediately; she had been nearby all along, just not showing herself.

Chuyang brother, what do you want me to do?

Watch her closely, don't let her rise.

Yes.

Shang Hongxue nodded at once; she knew Chuyang brother was angry, and if Tianlian Zhenren provoked him now, he would kill her without hesitation—even though she is the master of his elder sister Shang Hongchen, he would show no mercy.

If it weren't for this relationship, Tianlian Zhenren would have already died.

Shang Hongxue lowered their gaze to look at Tianlian Zhenren, shaking their head as they said: "You, you shouldn't have provoked Chuyang older brother's anger; this time, you managed to stay alive, thanks to me. If I weren't here, you would have already died."

As for Chuyang older brother's matters, you must not interfere or obstruct him.

You Heavenly Heart Sect, your reach is too long, you want to manage everything. Next time before you act, could you weigh your own strength? The weak have no right to meddle in others' affairs, and don't even think about making others change their minds.

After saying that, Shang Hongxue moved some heavy objects to suppress Tianlian Zhenren.

What Chuyang older brother ordered must not be neglected.

This Tianlian Zhenren needs to calm down for a while, lying flat on the ground.

Yin Gui Sect.

The Great Yama Dharma Body and the Heavenly Ghost Dharma Body collided over a hundred times; each collision burst out ghostly qi, throwing the entire Yin Gui Sect's sky into turmoil.

Ghostly qi overflowed, within a radius of several kilometers, everything was trembling with ghostly qi.

The two, colliding again, the two dharma bodies began to collapse.

"Boom."

The ghostly qi collided, their dharma bodies collided, it was the strongest collision.

Tian Gui Zhenren and Yin Gui Zhenren both spat blood and were flung backward.

Tian Gui Zhenren quickly regained control of their body, just now coming to a stop.

The Sixth Elder and Eighth Elder's divine abilities are already ready.

"Fire Ghost."

"Yin Net."

The Sixth Elder, the Yin Fire Elder, with both hands condensed flames, instantly covering the whole body, ghostly fire entwining, forming a giant.

With both arms embracing the flung-back Tian Gui Zhenren, in an instant, flames covered Tian Gui Zhenren.

"Ah."

After the flames dispersed, the Sixth Elder quickly withdrew, the flame dharma body continually burning.

A cage appeared, countless wooden spikes, interspersed with the Tian Gui Zhenren in the middle.

The Eighth Elder, the Yin Wood Elder, arms crossed, coldly stared at the Tian Gui Zhenren, not even human-shaped, inside the cage.

"The battle is over."
