Hearing Di Tian's words, both the Temple Master of Killing Gods and Chu Ling were stunned for a moment, exchanging a glance.
They did not understand what Di Tian meant.
Di Tian sighed.
You must have heard before that during my coming-of-age ceremony, a young prodigy named Chu Fan provoked my Di Family.
He was injured by me on the spot.
My Di Family did not pursue any accountability from him either.
The very next day!
News came from outside the Di Family stating that the little princess of the Ye Family was a member of the Devil Race.
The Ye Family's sea of consciousness was probed by people from the Heavenly Dao Sect.
It was discovered that the Ye Family were not members of the Devil Race, but Chu Fan, who had accompanied the Ye Family, had vanished without a trace.
Some suspected that this news was leaked by a person named Chu Fan.
He wanted to instigate conflict among the factions within the Divine Domain.
I suspect that a certain faction intervened behind the scenes, presumably wanting to stir up chaos in the Divine Domain, and Chu Fan was merely used as a pawn.
Therefore, I want you to step forward and prove that young man's innocence. After all, a young prodigy is still of great use to our human race.
Hearing Di Tian's words, both of them were stunned.
Chu Ling'er looked at Di Tian with eyes full of gratitude.
"You don't believe my brother is from the Devil Race, do you? What if he really is?"
Di Tian shook his head.
"When I fought him, I knew his spiritual energy was pure, without a shred of devil qi. Clearly, he was framed."
"Mainly, the news about the Ye Family being from the Devil Race, coupled with Chu Fan's disappearance, was simply too coincidental and too deliberate."
"Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Sect also wanted to use this incident to slap my Di Family in the face."
"This matter happened at my Di Family, so my Di Family would lose a lot of face. If a member of the Devil Race truly appeared within my Di Family without being detected and managed to escape, the reputation my Di Family built over several epochs would be ruined overnight."
"I want to use you to prove Chu Fan's innocence, which can also be regarded as taking back the face the Di Family lost. I suppose you could call this a selfish motive of mine."
The two looked at Di Tian and finally let go of the guard in their hearts. No wonder the Divine Son would come to the Temple of Killing Gods. Indeed, he had selfish motives; however, such selfish motives were understandable.
For a supreme overlord faction like the Di Family, face was of the utmost importance. Having lost their dignity, they would certainly reclaim it, though the methods might vary.
The Temple Master of Killing Gods looked at Chu Ling and spoke.
"Disciple, go with the Divine Son to save your brother. Do not let those malicious people frame him, or it will be too late for regrets. After all, you only have this one close relative left."
Chu Ling'er nodded.
After Di Tian took Chu Ling and stepped onto the pavilion pulled by the dragon horse, they vanished from the Temple of Killing Gods in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the departed dragon horse, the Temple Master of Killing Gods sighed.
"Divine Son Di, is your objective truly this simple?"
"No matter what, at least it was open and aboveboard."
"Unlike that Heavenly Dao Sect. The Heavenly Dao Sect is indeed still as despicable as ever."
Although the Heavenly Dao Sect survived in the Divine Domain under the guise of the successor of Heavenly Dao, many people despised them.
Most of the time, the Heavenly Dao Sect acted like the overlord of the Divine Domain, putting on an arrogant and domineering appearance while carrying out unspeakable deeds behind the scenes, only keeping quiet because no one exposed them.
"The Di Family's Divine Son is truly extraordinary."
The Temple Master of Killing Gods uttered another exclamation of emotion.
Meanwhile, Chu Fan was in a dense forest, breathing heavily with injuries covering his body and his eyes filled with fury.
He never expected that after sticking his head out for just a few days, he would already be branded with the identity of the Devil Race.
A sense of helplessness welled up in his eyes.
No one believed him.
Especially when members of the Ye Family also hunted him down, turning his complexion ashen with despair.
Furthermore, according to the Ye family members, the order to issue this directive came from his own master.
It seemed he had jumped into the Yellow River and could no longer wash himself clean.
Even if he was not from the Devil Race, he had become one.
"Heavenly Dao Sect! Di Family!"
Chu Fan let out a low roar filled with hatred.
Right at that moment, several piercing sounds rang out through the air.
Looking at Chu Fan, the leading figures spoke.
"Chu Fan, the Ye Family treated you well, and the ancestor took you in as a disciple, yet you dared to frame the Ye Family!"
"You almost brought extermination to the Ye Family. Such wolfish ambition! The ancestor treated you like his own child, yet he couldn't warm that cold heart of yours."
Upon hearing the words of the Ye Family elder, the fury in Chu Fan's eyes subsided slightly.
He recalled his master, with whom he had shared only a brief period.
Every day, his master instructed him painstakingly, sparring with him to elevate his combat prowess and explaining various forms of techniques.
A trace of warmth flickered in Chu Fan's heart.
He looked at the members of the Ye Family and spoke.
"I am not from the Devil Race. I have heard about what happened; I fled the Di Family that night because of other reasons."
"Believe it or not, when we were on the high-altitude arena, Di Tian revealed killing intent toward me. For the sake of my life, I had no choice but to escape early."
"Moreover, the rumors of the Ye Family being from the Devil Race and my being framed as a member of the Devil Race are inseparable from Di Tian."
Seeing Chu Fan's sincere tone, the Ye Family elder pondered for a moment.
However, why did the ancestor insist that Chu Fan must be killed, or else their Ye Family would face the disaster of extermination?
Right at that moment, several more figures appeared in the sky.
Walking at the very front were people from the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The Shocking God Hall, the Boundless Sect, and various other factions arrived in a continuous stream.
They stared at Chu Fan with killing intent in their eyes.
Chu Fan looked at the people surrounding him and the elders in the sky emitting terrifying auras, a sense of despair surfacing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and cast his gaze around at the surrounding people.
Meeting Chu Fan's gaze, these people were startled.
Such a gaze was too terrifying.
They decided that even if Chu Fan was not from the Devil Race, they had to kill him. That look of hatred was simply too frightening.
Even those elders felt a chill in their hearts, having never witnessed such a gaze in all their years of living.
Chu Fan looked around and spoke.
"Since it has come to this, I will tell you the truth. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
After finishing his sentence, Chu Fan continued, "Ever since I challenged Di Tian, I must have been targeted by certain individuals."
"Especially when I fell unconscious, Di Tian revealed killing intent toward me."
"To stay alive, I fled the Di Family."
"Then the very next day, the news broke that Ye Liuli of the Ye Family was a member of the Devil Race, and since I was no longer in the Ye Family, how could things be such a coincidence?"
"It was definitely arranged by someone!"
"I suspect that Di Tian is the true member of the Devil Race!"
Hearing Chu Fan's words, those people questioned him.
"You say the Divine Son is the true devil?"
Chu Fan nodded.
Seeing those people display pensive expressions, a trace of joy flashed in Chu Fan's eyes.
"Di Tian, your identity won't remain hidden forever!"
At that exact moment, those people suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Chu Fan with mocking expressions.
"Divine Son Di showing killing intent was being polite. If you had provoked us like that at our divine son's coming-of-age ceremony, we would have killed you long ago!"
Chu Fan's heart sank. He realized he had been thinking too naively.
"Take a look at this first. The Devil Race is truly vicious; even on the verge of death, they are still trying to sow discord within our Divine Domain!"
Immediately afterward, a piece of jade appeared.
Upon seeing the images inside the jade, Chu Fan's expression changed drastically.
For it displayed footage of him slaughtering these people and completely absorbing their blood!
Wasn't devouring human essence blood the method of the Devil Race?
Thinking of this, Chu Fan felt a chill in his heart, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. He knew that this time, he could no longer explain his way out of this completely.
Who on earth arranged all of this?
A figure once again materialized in Chu Fan's mind, flashing a bizarre smile at him.
At that very moment, the dark sky was instantly illuminated as brightly as midday.
Following that, a golden pathway extended across the heavens.
Six dragon horses emerged from the sky, their Saint Realm might suppressing the world.
Two rows of soldiers lined up on either side.
Every single one of them possessed the Immortal Realm.
Thirty-six fairy-like women lined up in two rows, kneeling on one knee.
Then, the exquisite pavilion opened.
A young and handsome figure stepped out from within.
He surveyed the scene below, his expression calm and unperturbed.
Seeing the descended figure of Di Tian, all those people fell silent.
They bowed in salute toward Di Tian.
"Greetings, Divine Son Di!"
Di Tian said nothing.
Right at that moment, another figure walked to Di Tian's side.
She looked at Chu Fan, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
Chu Fan also seemed to have noticed something.
He looked at the fairy-like woman in the sky.
A wave of familiarity welled up in his heart.
Tears streamed from his eyes as he cried out in shock.
"Ling'er, is that you?"
Chu Ling'er also flew down from the exquisite pavilion.
She arrived before Chu Fan, embraced him tightly, and spoke.
"Brother, I never expected it really to be you. Ling'er has finally seen you. I thought you were dead!"
