Li Ye's discourse on good and evil was like a seed planted in the hearts of the Devil Sect's people. The Ninth Elder's cultivation was profound, so at first, he wasn't affected.
But as time passed, the seed began to sprout in his heart.
And then, trouble began.
"People are fighting everywhere. So many have died. Hahaha..."
Flower Demon burst into laughter.
Li Ye looked dazed. He had never imagined that one casual remark to Flower Demon would cause such a huge stir.
But on closer thought, those words really were no small matter.
The righteous and the demonic: good and evil.
Li Ye's words struck at the very essence of the demonic path. If the essence was shaken, the Dao heart was bound to crack.
Could the Devil Sect really fall apart because of me?
Li Ye formed a sword hand and gently traced out characters.
But Flower Demon immediately rejected the idea. "No!"
"Brother Li, there's something called conviction. The first time people hear your words, they really can throw their Dao hearts into turmoil. But those old fellows have profound cultivation, and their demonic roots run deep. Once enough time passes and they've had a chance to think it over, they won't react so strongly."
Li Ye nodded. "But the heart demon has already been planted. Unless they find a way to resolve the problem I raised, all they can do is temporarily forget about it and pretend it doesn't affect them. When they reach higher realms of cultivation, it'll still come back to haunt them at certain crucial moments."
"It could even threaten their lives."
Whether people were inherently good or inherently evil was a question that had been debated for thousands of years on the planet in his previous life, without ever reaching a conclusion.
