The Clarify Sect Makes a Move
Chi You merely glanced at them coldly, completely disregarding these Golden Immortal.
"This is an internal affair of the Human Clan; what business is it of yours!"
"You dare to make a sound in front of me?"
"You!"
However, at this tense moment, Xuanyuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
He looked intently at Chi You and spoke clearly, word by word.
"Good."
One word silenced the entire room.
The shouts and curses from Guangchengzi and the others came to an abrupt halt.
Chi You You's arrogance froze.
Xuanyuan ignored the astonished reactions of the people behind him and simply stared intently at Chi You.
"As long as you can do better than me and lead Human Clan to true strength and prosperity."
"What harm is there in giving you the throne of the Human Emperor?"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Guangchengzi and other Golden Immortal of the Clarify Sect were all petrified.
Their minds were buzzing; they could hardly believe their ears.
Has Xuanyuan gone mad?!
He actually agreed?
Chi You, the instigator, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
He stared blankly at Xuanyuan, his mind a complete blank.
What is that?
He... he agreed?
So you're giving me the throne of the Human Emperor?
No!
I'm just here to say a few harsh words, provoke a bit, and go through the motions!
I didn't want your Human Emperor!
I was just saying it casually, why did you take it so seriously?
Besides, what kind of logic is it for me, a high-ranking shaman of the witch clan, to become the human emperor?
Now that I've become the Human Emperor, how can I return to the Wu Clan?
How can I hold my head high in front of my brothers?
No!
Absolutely not!
Whoever wants the throne of the Human Emperor can have it; I, Chi You, will not!
Countless thoughts flashed wildly through Chi You's mind.
Looking at Xuanyuan's serious face, his previously arrogant demeanor weakened somewhat.
Seeing that Chi You remained silent for a long time, his face turning pale and then red, Xuanyuan stepped forward and asked again.
"How?"
"You don't dare?"
"Didn't you just say you wanted me to give up my seat?"
"Now that I've given in, you're not taking it anymore?"
"Chi You, do you truly desire the prosperity of the Human Clan, or are you merely seeking to satisfy your own ambitions?"
Xuanyuan's question only made Chi You more troubled.
He can't exactly say, "I'm just here to be your stepping stone, so come and hit me!"
Looking at Xuanyuan's serious face, his previously arrogant demeanor weakened somewhat.
In a flash, Chi You forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and once again adopted an arrogant and unruly posture.
He abruptly flung his hand away and roared.
"I don't need you to give in!"
"The throne of the Human Emperor shall be reserved for the most capable!"
"What I, Chi You, desire, I will take myself; I disdain accepting charity from anyone!"
"If you cannot win the trust of the Human Clan, I will come and take what is rightfully mine!"
"Xuanyuan, you'd better watch yourself!"
Having said that, Chi You dared not linger for even a moment longer.
He was afraid that Xuanyuan would say something even more shocking.
He suddenly turned around, without looking back, and strode away into the distance.
That figure, no matter how you look at it, seemed to be fleeing in panic.
Watching Chi You's departing figure, Xuanyuan let out a long sigh.
He knew that the talks had been a complete failure.
Just then, Guangchengzi, who was behind him, exchanged a glance with his fellow disciples, including Chijingzi and True Person Yuding.
The next moment.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Twelve Dao Body instantly appeared around Chi You, sealing off all his escape routes.
Guangchengzi wore a cold smile.
"Chi You!"
"Disrespectful to the Human Emperor, and you think you can just leave like this?"
"Isn't this a gross underestimation of our Clarify Sect?"
"Today, I will capture you and hand you over to the Human Emperor for judgment!"
Chi You stopped and looked at the Chan Sect Immortals who had surrounded him.
There was no sign of panic on his face; instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"How?"
"You can't argue with me, so you resort to violence?"
Chijingzi held the Yin Yang Mirror in his hand and spoke coldly.
"Chi You, cease your arrogance!"
"Disrespect for the Human Emperor is a capital offense!"
"I advise you to surrender now, to avoid suffering physical pain!"
True Person Taiyi unleashed the Nine Dragon Fire Hood and laughed heartily.
"Why waste words on such a stubborn guy!"
"Just take it, saves us the trouble!"
The Chan Sect Immortals unleashed their Magic Treasure, and their powerful aura instantly locked onto Chi You.
In their view, the Twelve Golden Immortals had joined forces.
Taking down a mere Chi You would be a piece of cake.
Chi You completely ignored the clamoring members of the Clarify Sect.
His gaze passed over these people and landed directly on Xuanyuan in the distance.
"Xuanyuan."
Is this what you mean?
Chi You was overjoyed.
He knew perfectly well that this couldn't possibly be Xuanyuan's intention.
As the Human Clan Human Emperor, how could he resort to such underhanded methods as ambushes and sneak attacks?
This must have been done on their own initiative by Guangchengzi and his ilk.
However, that's no longer important.
The important thing is that Guangchengzi have already made their move.
That's the reason!
Xuanyuan lured him to Zhuolu under the pretext of a meeting, and then joined forces with the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect to set up an ambush, intending to kill him!
Chi You fought with all his might, barely escaping with his life. To protect himself and to seek justice, he had no choice but to rebel.
Look!
What a perfect reason!
This was done by you, Xuanyuan, who were so unrighteous, so don't blame me Chi You, for being unjust!
It's not that I, Chi You, don't want to honor you Human Emperor, but your actions make you utterly unworthy of the Human Emperor!
"No!"
Xuanyuan was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events and was at a loss for what to do. When he heard Chi You's question, he blurted out without thinking.
Immediately, he turned around abruptly and roared at Guangchengzi.
"Master! Fellow Martial Uncle!"
What are you trying to do?!
Xuanyuan's chest heaved violently, filled with shock and rage.
"My meeting with Chi You was an internal discussion within the Human Clan. Why did you suddenly attack, and in such a blatant way!"
"Quickly! Release Chief Chi You from here!"
When faced with Xuanyuan's questioning, Guangchengzi remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
"Your Human Emperor, you are too merciful."
"This man harbors treacherous ambitions, coveting the throne of the Human Emperor. If we let him go today, he will surely become a great threat to the Human Clan in the future."
"As your teachers and mentors, we should naturally clear away any obstacles for you!"
"We must not let him leave today!"
Xuanyuan could hardly believe his ears.
"Master! How could you say such a thing!"
"We agreed on talks! A peaceful resolution!"
"What you are doing now is no different from that of a treacherous and wicked person!"
"Even if I, Xuanyuan, wish to unify the Human Clan, I will do so honorably and openly! I would never stoop to such despicable means!"
"I am the Human Emperor! You are here to assist me, not to make decisions for me!"
"I order you to stop immediately!"
"Let him go!"
Xuanyuan's voice had taken on an unprecedented sternness.
However, Guangchengzi only glanced at him indifferently.
"Human Emperor, don't you understand?"
Sometimes, the means are not important; the result is what matters.
"As long as it brings you perfect Merit and unifies the Human Clan, we will bear the burden of any infamy."
