Chapter 768: 322: The whole family!
People’s hearts change easily, Demon Fetus (added for the Great Sage above Nine Heavens) _3 Chapter 768: 322: The whole family!
People’s hearts change easily, Demon Fetus (added for the Great Sage above Nine Heavens) _3 He had regained his composure, and his Heavenly Vision had already identified some traces.
Su Yanyan, with her beautiful eyes beyond the veil, gazed deep into Chen Dengming’s eyes and, seeing his peace of mind, she put her heart at ease and spoke.
“You must remember, you are the Leader of the Longevity Sect.
Establishing a family and bearing descendants is by no means condemnable in the Cultivation World.
However, for us cultivators, given our talents that allow us to laugh in the face of storms and to rise above our peers, we should devote more energy to our cultivation.
...
There have been cultivators who have regarded their families and kin as hindrances, seeking liberation through cultivated trials, and ultimately renouncing all sentiments to follow the Path of Ruthlessness.”
Seeing the frown on Chen Dengming’s face, Su Yanyan paused in her speech, “In giving such examples, I do not mean for you to emulate them.
You are a person of sentiment, and you follow the Path of Sentiment.
However, even on the path of the Heavenly Immortal, when heaven has feelings, it also ages.
It is inevitable to have priorities in the pursuit of longevity with limited human energy.
Therefore, you should not blame yourself for what happened today!”
“Martial Uncle, I understand.”
Chen Dengming cast Su Yanyan a grateful look and nodded.
“I will handle it.”
Su Yanyan nodded, said nothing more, turned around to leave Chen Dengming with an enchanting silhouette, saying.
“I will personally root out those within the city and the sect who are involved in this matter.
You go!”
Chen Dengming’s gaze turned to the distance.
A flicker of Spiritual Light.
A majestic, incense-fired incarnation was already flying in.
The upheaval caused by events within the Chen Family had already stirred up the entire city; many people were in an uproar.
As Chen Dengming stepped out of his dwelling, releasing a sigh, he cautioned.
“Martial Uncle, don’t let this incident undermine the sect’s reputation.”
After this, Chen Dengming surged into the sky, and with a flash of blue light in his eyes, zeroed in on a location, and swiftly flew towards it.
…
A short while later.
Amidst flashes of thunder, the flying threads of red silk, piercing the clouds, zipped across like a thunderbolt.
Accompanied by gusts of wind and roars of thunder, they followed the faint demonic traces left behind and rapidly traced their steps, instantly arriving at a secluded strait.
After dusk, the night descended and the weather began to cloud over.
The silhouette of the cliffs in the distance and the palm groves up close were stark, even in the dim light.
In the faint mist and the billowing sea waves were two figures.
One was kneeling on the ground while the other had stepped into the tide.
The figure in the tide had most of his body submerged in seawater.
The water around his belly wound was coloured red with blood, and his entire body emanated faint, sinister demonic energy.
He was letting out bouts of laughter that pitched between being wildly hysterical and intensely morose, carried far off by the sea breeze.
“Dear father, you truly are omnipotent, breaking your seclusion to come find me so quickly, but…
you’re…
just a step too late…”
Chen Dengming, his body glowing with a faint golden light, floated mid-air, his eyes slitted and dark, with a touch of inconsolable sorrow accumulated within.
His figure slowly floated down, with the blue and silver lights in his eyes intertwining fiercely, mirroring the intense eruptions and struggles within his spirit.
He barely managed to contain the violent collision within his chest, resisting the urge to unleash his Human Immortal Dao Force and obliterate the detestable Demonic Power before him.
However, he suppressed this urge and descended with his figure, landing before the bloody Li Xue in the sea water.
His face was pale as dead, but his countenance bore strong resentment and irony.
He spoke in a cold tone.
“You have been deceived and ensnared by the Demonic nature.
I should not blame you.
But I now only ask you this.
Even if you harbor endless resentment, what does this have to do with those neighbours?
Over these years, the countless lives you took without any reason, why did you do so?”
“Killing without reason?”
Li Xue’s eyes were filled with a strange, ominous intent.
She turned her face towards Chen Dengming, who had been lightly descending.
She seemed to disregard his Golden Core Spiritual Might, her eyes filled with a chilly, mocking laughter and killing intent.
“It’s not without reason.
They are not innocent.
For so many years, they have always mocked behind my back.
They ridiculed me for marrying an ordinary man despite being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, all for the sake of seeking glory and fortune from your Chen family.
They laughed behind my back at how vain I was, how I was supposed to be just as hopeless as they were.”
A stronger sense of irony and resentment flashed in Li Xue’s eyes, distorting her fine and delicate face.
“They thought I didn’t hear them, but I knew.
I knew it all.
That’s why I sought them out and had them all killed.
“Dear father-in-law, tell me, don’t they deserve to die…”
“They shouldn’t have!
These things shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
I originally didn’t hold any resentment against Chen Jing.
In fact, I admired you greatly, dear father-in-law…
it shouldn’t have been like this…”
Chen Dengming witnessed the sudden regretfulness and fear on Li Xue’s face, a stark contrast from the previous killing intent and resentment, filled with crazed demonic aura.
He sighed within his heart, closing his eyes, seemingly picturing the scene from the past when he first met this girl in Everjoy District.
Back then, this girl would often come to visit, calling him Gao Uncle.
He did enjoy this girl’s quick wit.
Years ago, when they held an open marriage proposal, Li Rong brought this girl and proposed the marriage himself.
Chen Dengming did refuse at first.
But Li Rong insisted, and Li Xue did not oppose.
Chen Jing was also fond of Li Xue, so he accepted this marriage, seeing it as a good match.
He did favour this girl and did his best to help her break through to Foundation Establishment.
Unexpectedly, the height of human favor is no match for the fear of human words.
Does this represent human nature?
Human hearts are fickle, and they can change because of complex words.
How many people can maintain their true intentions amid the frenzied human words, not moving to the side because of others’ words, and never forgetting their original intentions?
At this moment, Chen Dengming felt his understanding of the Human Immortal spiritual inheritance deepened, yet he closed his eyes and didn’t look at Li Xue’s face, he said.
“Those servants and retainers, who served you faithfully, ended up dead.
Jing’er treated you sincerely from beginning to end, but now he is dead at your hands.
Did they ever wrong you?”
Li Xue suddenly hesitated.
She stared blankly for a while, then slowly turned around to look at Chen Jing who was kneeling by the sea, seeming to be still trying hard to persuade her to come back home.
The husband who was in her eyes always lived so humbly, willing to die so humbly, without willing to do anything to hurt her.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her cheeks.
She hastily raised her hand to wipe it away, but her hand was smeared with blood from her belly wound, instantly staining her cheeks red.
A surge of pure demonic power poured out from her belly.
The Demon Fetus that she had cruelly crushed and killed with her own hand released a thicker demonic aura…
