The human heart had never withstood testing well.
Wu Xun's words were not merely an attack on the heart. Invisibly, they had created a situation in which Su Yi would be "betrayed and deserted by all."
He wanted everyone to see Su Yi as the chief culprit!
It was more than cruelty—it was viciousness beyond measure.
Yet no one dared take it lightly.
Because Wu Xun came from the Immeasurable Emperor Palace!!
"Everyone, even if fellow cultivator Li hadn't stepped forward today, did you think you could have avoided this calamity?"
Mo Lanhe suddenly spoke in a deep voice. "Did you think that if you merely bowed your heads, Wu Xun would not use you and send you into that Star Grave to die?"
The crowd fell silent, their expressions flickering uncertainly.
Only Yun Qiaojun nodded. "Senior is right. Today, I will not compromise!"
Liu Tianchen said, "Nor will I!"
Fu Lingyun shouted, "I'll live and die alongside Brother Li!"
Wen Xiuran pressed her lips together without speaking.
Xiao Chi's face was livid.
Their respective Dao Protectors wore differing expressions.
In the distance, Wu Xun smiled. "How about this? I guarantee that if you turn against Li Muchen, today's matter will be completely forgotten. I can also guarantee that all of you may leave!"
"Bullshit!"
Mo Lanhe cursed loudly. "Who was it that guaranteed a contest of the Great Dao, where the loser would enter that Star Grave? And who went back on his word and didn't dare compete with fellow cultivator Li? Your guarantees, Wu Xun, aren't worth a dog's fart!!"
"You're merely a true disciple of the Carefree Realm. Just because you're a descendant of the Immeasurable Emperor Palace, you think you can run wild and lawless?"
"Scum like you will suffer retribution sooner or later!"
Mo Lanhe
