Refining living people into Divine Pills was unmistakably demonic conduct, 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 remained expressionless. In his heart, there had never been any distinction between righteousness and evil. In the original plot, Great Hatred Demon Lord had not been hunted by the many sects across the continent merely because she had fallen into the demonic path.
The greatest reason was that the Chu Family was gone. Without the support of her background, everyone wanted to step on that world-renowned peerless prodigy and rush forward to take a bite out of her.
With the Chu Family at the height of its power and its prestige bearing down heavily, let alone merely suggesting refining living people into Divine Pills—even if he refined Ye Fan into a pill on the spot, who could punish him? Who would dare hunt him down?
In the original plot, the medicinal properties hidden within those Divine Medicines had provided Ye Fan with enormous help.
If weeds were not pulled out by the roots, they would grow again when the spring wind blew.
With Ye Tianxiong present, he could not directly kill Ye Fan. But it was equally impossible for Ye Fan to get through this so easily.
Ye Fan's face instantly turned deathly pale, and even his voice became shrill. "Chu Tian, you are so vicious. You will surely die a miserable death!"
"So vicious? My Sacred Heaven Sect is a great righteous sect. How can we employ such demonic methods?" Ye Tianxiong flew into a rage, glaring at Chu Tian with icy eyes, nearly losing control of his emotions.
No matter what, he had never expected Chu Tian, at such a young age, to speak such venomous words.
Moreover, the sect master had personally come to his door, yet Chu Tian did not give him the slightest bit of face and insisted on pursuing the matter to the end.
"What Little Tian said is indeed an excellent method." Chu Tianyun clapped his hands in praise, likewise making no mention of righteousness or evil. Those were things only children cared about.
"Yue Yao has cultivated under Desperate Poison Venerable for many years. She sent word to the family 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 give an account for the sect's losses."
Chu Tianyun turned and smiled at his elder brother, Chu Tianwang. "Big Brother, do not forget Sister-in-law's words. This matter is for Little Tian to handle. Besides, the family also believes Little Tian's decision is not improper."
Hearing this, Chu Tianwang fell silent for a moment before nodding to Ye Tianxiong. "Big Brother, the sect has suffered such immense losses, and this has caused such a huge commotion. Although Ye Hongwu committed suicide, as the sect master and vice sect master, we should give the entire sect an explanation."
"The sect's order is under my management. Arresting Ye Fan in accordance with sect law is entirely reasonable and justified."
"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, drag this 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 rage and resentment in his heart.
Both he and Chu Tianyun believed that Chu Tian was relentlessly hounding the Ye Family and that trash Ye Fan because of Liu Yun.
He was only trash. Killing him was no great matter.
"Uncle Tianxiong, save me! Save me!"
Ye Fan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was ultimately only a teenager, and he had just suffered the crushing blow of seeing his grandfather die tragically before his eyes. At this moment, his terror had reached its peak.
That hellish place called Sin Prison was cut off from the world and devoid of all spiritual energy. It was where great demonic fiends and peerless evildoers were suppressed. If he went in, he would likely be completely ruined.
"You said that as long as I came with you to Sacred Emperor Peak, you would keep me safe."
Escorted away, Ye Fan quickly vanished beyond the horizon.
Ye Tianxiong clenched both fists, his expression shifting between light and dark. His terrifying aura made the sky change color.
In the end.
His fists slowly relaxed and opened. Looking at Chu Tian, he said, "Nephew, your uncle has been through much, and I was sworn brothers with your father as we ventured through the myriad worlds.
"So your uncle advises you: where mercy can be shown, show mercy.
"There are countless powerful figures in this world, and strange people and extraordinary things beyond number.
"You may gain the upper hand everywhere, but if your cart overturns one day, you may fall into an abyss of eternal damnation."
Chu Tian cupped his fists and smiled. "This nephew will heed the sect master's instruction. But this nephew also wishes to offer the sect master a saying."
"What saying?" Ye Tianxiong's face was cold.
"Those too clever in their calculations often end up ruining their own lives," 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."
"Ha ha ha ha! Satisfying! So damn satisfying!"
Watching Ye Tianxiong leave after suffering a setback, Chu Tianyun threw back his head and laughed loudly, feeling utterly exhilarated.
The many Chu Family powerhouses watching from Sacred Emperor Peak also revealed unrestrained smiles.
"It may be satisfying for the moment, but the troubles left behind 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 did not lack the means or strength to strike back.
"Little Tian, how do you intend to deal with the Liu Family?" Chu Tianwang asked his son.
Baleful Intent flickered in Chu Tianyun's eyes as he said, "Naturally, they must pay a painful price. A pack of overestimating fools, they wanted to stand with a foot in two boats—taking advantage of our Chu Family while also wanting to climb aboard the Ye Family's ship. They are courting death."
He believed that since Chu Tian was so enraged, he would not let the Liu Family off.
"Father, discuss this matter with Third Uncle and decide it yourselves. Let the family handle it in my place."
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, Chu Tian understood what mattered most in this world where the strong were revered and the weak were prey to the strong.
Strength!
Strength reigned supreme.
If he had not first gone to Hengtian Hall for the test and reached first place on the Earth Ranking, Chu Tianyun would not have represented the Chu Family's upper echelons in coming forward to show support.
Chu Tianwang would not have changed his attitude so easily.
Even Ye Tianxiong would not have suddenly brought Ye Fan to his door to offer a thorn branch and plead guilty!
Strength. The foundation of everything was 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 family within the Sacred Heaven Sect. It could not affect the Chu Family's survival, and Chu Tian could not be bothered to pay it much attention. This time, he had merely used the Liu Family to make his stance clear and suppress the Ye Family's arrogance.
"Congratulations, Host. You have dealt a heavy blow to Son of Destiny Ye Fan. Reward: 1,000 Destiny Points." "Congratulations, Host. You have dealt a heavy blow to Son of Destiny Ye Fan. Reward..."
The gentle, pleasant voice rang continuously beside Chu Tian's ears.
"Father, Third Uncle, after passing the Hengtian Ranking test, I have gained some new insights. I will return to enter seclusion and digest them first, striving to break through to the Spirit Refining Realm as soon as possible." Chu Tian cupped his fists in salute, then turned and stepped into the main hall.
Chu Tianwang and Chu Tianyun were both stunned for a moment, wondering whether they had heard wrong as they stared in astonishment at Chu Tian's departing back.
The boy truly seemed to have no intention of dealing with the Liu Family, a difference as vast as heaven and earth from the relentless pursuit he had just displayed toward the Ye Family.
"I really cannot understand this boy. Did he not hate Liu Yun's betrayal to the bone?" Chu Tianyun complained speechlessly.
After all, Chu Tian's earlier proposal to refine Ye Fan into a peerless Divine Pill had frightened them both.
They had assumed Chu Tian was so furious because Ye Fan had entangled himself with Liu Yun.
Yet he had suddenly made a sharp turn and could no longer be bothered with the Liu Family, leaving them utterly confused.
"The child is growing up. Even his father cannot understand what he is thinking." Chu Tianwang shook his head helplessly.
"Tianyun, Ye Hongwu's suicide this time has left many matters for me to handle. You deal with the Liu Family. Just warn them and give them a lesson. Liu Yun is a young girl who does not understand matters yet. 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 flash of Baleful Intent passed 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 neither Chu Tianwang nor Chu Tian had spoken, so they could not easily 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 had given Liu Yun were widely circulated throughout the Sacred Heaven Sect, and almost everyone knew of them.
How could they possibly let this go so easily?
"How can the young master of my Chu Family be bullied so easily by outsiders?"
After Chu Tianwang left, Chu Tianyun muttered to himself. He then flew out of Sacred Emperor Peak, leading over a thousand Law Enforcement Hall powerhouses straight toward the Liu Family outside the sect.
"Little Tian gave you two choices: personally flay Ye Fan and pull out his tendons. You failed to do so."
"In other words, you chose the first option: confiscation of your household and extermination of your clan."
