"Ancestor, this boy's mother was our clan's Saintess, yet she married a man who hadn't even reached the Supreme Realm. Naturally, we felt some resentment," Futu Yijing explained meekly.
Although he had been on the Saint Abyss Continent when it happened, now was not the time to distance himself from it.
He still had to show the proper willingness to admit fault.
Ancestor Futu was so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged.
"Utterly absurd!"
The other powerhouses who had reached this level watched with interest.
Heavenly Sovereign Futu, who had been so imperious earlier as he struck down a Heavenly Demon Emperor, was now being berated by this ancestor and did not even dare lose his temper.
The other members of the Futu Ancient Clan watched Futu Yijing take the scolding, but none dared speak.
They feared their ancestor would turn his wrath on them.
Inside the Human Emperor Seal, the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor watched the scene with broad smiles.
Ancestor Futu was clearly furious. If Futu Yijing had not truly been such an outstanding descendant, he would have wanted to slap him to death.
"I would like to see just what heights the Futu Clan has reached these days, to brand such an outstanding child a Sin Child!" Ancestor Futu's beard bristled and his eyes bulged.
Futu Yijing did not dare speak, afraid of being scolded further.
Fortunately, Ancestor Futu did not pursue the subject.
He looked at Mu Chen and said in an immensely kindly voice, "Child, don't be afraid. Come over here to me. None of them will dare say a word."
Mu Chen sensed Ancestor Futu's gentleness and, after a moment's hesitation, walked over.
Mo Yin, Black Light, and the others lowered their heads, not daring to show much emotion.
