Weng Shi said, "Void Sage Fang spent many days in the Bloodmang Realm. Perhaps bloodmang power influenced him, making him speak on its behalf without realizing it. That is understandable. Although the Bloodmang People have not betrayed the Human Race, they have remained outside the Sacred Academy's jurisdiction for years. Hastily appointing them as council elders would be far too rash. In my opinion, we should wait another hundred years before allowing Bloodmang Great Scholars to serve as council elders."

Fang Yun asked, "Great Scholar Weng Shi, when the Bloodmang People were sweating to mine Sacred Blood Jade and grow dragon-pattern rice, handing them over to the Sacred Academy to strengthen the sages, where were you? When the Bloodmang People were shedding blood, slaying demons and exterminating barbarians..." As he spoke, Fang Yun pointed at Wei Huangan.

"The ancestors of this Bloodmang Grand Academician, Wei Huangan, fought their way through the Demon Race's ten great tribes for the peace of the Bloodmang People, paving an Ancestors' Path with countless bones! Where were you then? Not long ago, the Ancient Demons descended and the Demon Emperor attacked. The Bloodmang Realm faced utter destruction. Many Grand Academicians and I fought with our very lifeblood, and I nearly died! Where were you then? You may criticize the Bloodmang People, because they do indeed have their faults. You may also support the Sacred Academy, since it governs the Human Race. But when you utterly reject the Bloodmang People, ask your own conscience: have you ever shed a single drop of sweat for the Bloodmang Realm? A single drop of blood? No! Then you are treating the Bloodmang People as enemies. You are treating people who read the same books of sages and worthies, who carry the same human blood in their veins, as slaves!"
