Young Yet Already Walking the Demonic Path

Refining living people into Divine Pills was unquestionably a demonic practice, a great taboo of the righteous path.

Who could have imagined that such words would come from the sect's Little Holy Son?

The Sacred Heaven Sect was a great righteous sect!

Chu Tian's expression remained blank. In his heart, there had never been any distinction between righteous and demonic. In the original storyline, the Great Hatred Demon Lord had not been hunted down by the many sects of the continent merely because she had fallen into the demonic path.

The greatest reason was that the Chu Family had fallen. Without the support of her background, everyone wanted to step on this world-renowned peerless genius and rush forward to take a bite out of her.

When the Chu Family stood at the height of its power, its prestige overwhelming, forget merely suggesting refining living people into Divine Pills—even if he refined Ye Fan into a pill right here and now, who could punish him? Who would dare hunt him down?

In the original storyline, the medicinal properties hidden within these Divine Medicines had provided Ye Fan with immense aid.

If the weeds were not pulled out by the roots, they would grow again when the spring breeze blew.

With Ye Tianxiong present, he could not directly kill Ye Fan. But if Ye Fan thought he could get through this so easily, that was impossible as well.

Ye Fan's face instantly turned deathly pale, and his voice became shrill. "Chu Tian, you are so vicious. You will certainly die a miserable death!"

"So vicious? Our Sacred Heaven Sect is a great righteous sect. How can we employ such demonic methods?" Ye Tianxiong flew into a rage, glaring coldly at Chu Tian, nearly unable to control his emotions.

He had never imagined that Chu Tian, so young, could speak such vicious words.

Moreover, even though he, the Sect Master, had personally come to the door, Chu Tian gave him not the slightest bit of face and insisted on pursuing the matter to the end.

"Little Tian, what you said is indeed an excellent method." Chu Tianyun clapped his hands in praise. He too made no mention of righteousness or evil; those were things only children cared about.

"Yue Yao has followed the Desperate Poison Venerable in cultivation for many years. She sent word to the clan that she would return in two months. She should have a way."

"With so many Divine Medicines and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, what is refined will surely be a World-Shaking Divine Pill. It will also serve as an explanation for the sect's losses."

Chu Tianyun turned and smiled at his elder brother, Chu Tianwang. "Big Brother, don't forget Sister-in-law's words. This matter is for Little Tian to handle. Moreover, the clan also believes there is nothing improper about Little Tian's decision."

Hearing this, Chu Tianwang fell silent for a moment before nodding. He said to Ye Tianxiong, "Big Brother, the sect has suffered such immense losses and caused such a tremendous commotion. Although Ye Hongwu committed suicide, as the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master, we must give the entire sect an explanation."

"The sect's order is under my management. Arresting Ye Fan in accordance with sect law is only reasonable and proper."

"Considering Ye Fan's young age, if he can produce Divine Medicines or precious treasures of equivalent value in exchange, his life may be spared."

"Take him away and throw him into Sin Prison."

"Someone, take this piece of trash away." Chu Tianyun waved his hand, and Law Enforcement disciples soon arrived. They seized the pale-faced Ye Fan and flew toward Sin Prison.

At this point, there was no need to wrong his own son for the sake of a piece of trash.

Let Chu Tian vent all the anger and frustration in his heart.

Both he and Chu Tianyun believed that Chu Tian was relentlessly hounding the Ye Family and Ye Fan, this piece of trash, because of Liu Yun.

He was merely trash. Killing him was no big deal.

"Uncle Tianxiong, save me! Save me!"

Ye Fan's face was white with terror. He was ultimately only a teenager, having just suffered the crushing blow of watching his grandfather die miserably before his eyes. At this moment, he was terrified to the extreme.

A hellhole like Sin Prison was isolated from the world and devoid of spiritual energy. It was a place for suppressing great demons and peerless fiends. If he entered, he would likely be completely crippled.

"You said that as long as I came with you to Sacred Emperor Peak, you would keep me safe!"

Escorted away, Ye Fan soon vanished over the horizon.

Ye Tianxiong clenched both fists, his expression shifting between dark and pale. His terrifying aura caused the sky itself to change color.

In the end.

His fists slowly loosened, and he looked at Chu Tian. "Nephew, your uncle has seen much of the world. I was also sworn brothers with your father, traveling through the Myriad Worlds together.

"So your uncle advises you with one sentence: when one can spare someone, one should spare them.

"There are countless powerful people in this world, and strange figures and extraordinary events are beyond number.

"If you triumph everywhere, then one day suffer a reversal, you may fall into an Abyss of eternal damnation."

Chu Tian cupped his hands and smiled. "Your nephew shall heed the Sect Master's teachings. But your nephew would also like to offer the Sect Master one sentence."

"What sentence?" Ye Tianxiong's expression was icy.

"Too clever by half, and in the end, you ruin your own life," Chu Tian said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianxiong gave Chu Tian a deep look before flying away from Sacred Emperor Peak.

"Tianwang, Big Brother congratulates you on having such a fine son."

"Hahahahaha, satisfying! Satisfying! Damn, that felt good!"

Seeing Ye Tianxiong leave after suffering a setback, Chu Tianyun threw back his head and laughed heartily, feeling utterly refreshed.

On Sacred Emperor Peak, the many Chu Family experts watching also revealed unrestrained smiles.

"It may have been satisfying for the moment, but the future consequences will be endless." Chu Tianwang sighed softly, though he did not regret it.

His son was his bottom line.

It was good to give the Ye Family a warning this time, to let them understand that the Chu Family was not without the means and strength to strike back.

"Little Tian, how do you intend to deal with the Liu Family?" Chu Tianwang asked his son.

Baleful Intent gleamed in Chu Tianyun's eyes as he said, "Naturally, they must pay a painful price. A group of people who overestimate themselves—they want to stand with one foot in each boat, enjoy the Chu Family's benefits, and climb aboard the Ye Family's boat as well. They are courting death."

He believed that since Chu Tian was so furious, he would not spare the Liu Family.

"Father, discuss and decide this with Third Uncle. Let the clan handle it on my behalf."

Chu Tian shook his head and said indifferently, "I do not wish to waste precious energy on such insignificant matters."

As a godfather of a generation, in this world where the strong were revered and the weak were prey to the strong, Chu Tian understood what mattered most.

Strength!

Strength reigned supreme.

If he had not first gone to Hengtian Hall for testing and reached first place on the Earth Ranking, Chu Tianyun would not have come on behalf of the Chu Family's upper ranks to show their support.

Chu Tianwang would not have changed his attitude so easily.

Even Ye Tianxiong would not have suddenly brought Ye Fan to the door to offer himself up for punishment!

Strength—everything rested upon strength.

First place on the Earth Ranking had directly caused everyone's attitude toward him, a mere eight-year-old child, to undergo an almost earth-shattering transformation.

The Liu Family was merely a second-rate great clan within the Sacred Heaven Sect. They could not affect the Chu Family's survival, and Chu Tian was too lazy to pay them much attention. This time, he had merely used the Liu Family to make his stance known and crush the Ye Family's arrogance.

"Congratulations, Host. You have severely struck Son of Destiny Ye Fan. Reward: 1,000 Destiny Points."

"Congratulations, Host. You have severely struck Son of Destiny Ye Fan. Reward..."

The gentle, pleasant voice rang continuously by Chu Tian's ear.

"Father, Third Uncle, after passing the Hengtian Ranking test, I have gained some new insights. I will return to seclusion to digest them first and strive to break through to the Spirit Refining Realm as soon as possible." Chu Tian cupped his hands in salute, then turned and stepped into the main hall.

Chu Tianwang and Chu Tianyun were both stunned for a moment, wondering if they had heard wrong as they stared in astonishment at Chu Tian's departing back.

This boy truly seemed to have no intention of dealing with the Liu Family, completely different from how relentlessly he had pursued the Ye Family just now.

"I really can't understand this brat. Didn't he hate Liu Yun's betrayal to the bone?" Chu Tianyun complained speechlessly.

After all, Chu Tian's earlier suggestion of refining Ye Fan into a peerless Divine Pill had startled even them.

They had thought Chu Tian was so furious because Ye Fan had entangled himself with Liu Yun.

But then he abruptly reversed course and could not even be bothered with the Liu Family, leaving them baffled.

"The child has grown up. Even his father cannot understand what he is thinking." Chu Tianwang shook his head helplessly.

"Tianyun, Ye Hongwu's suicide this time leaves many matters for me to handle. You deal with the Liu Family. Just warn them and give them a small lesson. Liu Yun is only a young girl who does not know better. She will ultimately be Little Tian's principal wife, so there is no need to make too much of it."

"Alright, Big Brother, rest assured. I will handle it properly." A glint of Baleful Intent flashed through Chu Tianyun's eyes.

They had long been dissatisfied with the Liu Family's shady dealings with the Ye Family. But this was Big Brother's family matter, and since neither Chu Tianwang nor Chu Tian had spoken, they could not interfere.

But now it had even affected the Chu Family's reputation and nearly harmed Chu Tian.

Chu Tian's words had already spread. The two choices he gave Liu Yun were widely circulated throughout the Sacred Heaven Sect, and almost everyone knew of them.

How could they possibly let it go so easily?

"How can the Young Master of my Chu Family be bullied so easily by outsiders?"

Chu Tianwang departed. Chu Tianyun muttered to himself, then flew from Sacred Emperor Peak with over a thousand Law Enforcement Hall experts, heading straight for the Liu Family outside the sect.

"Little Tian gave you two choices. You were to personally flay Ye Fan and pull out his tendons, yet you failed to do so."

"In other words, you chose the first option: confiscation of your household and extermination of your clan."
