Chapter 569: Chapter 564: The Myth of the Supreme Sect
Entangled the entire Supreme Sect!
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor’s voice echoed throughout the Supreme Sect, allowing every single person within the Sect to hear him loud and clear.
In these days, the grudges between Ye Cang and the Sect had already been dug out by the disciples, and with the powerful Cui Family already unpopular among some, the true story emerged against those who fanned the flames.
Though they sympathized with Ye Cang, they could not accept that he would jeopardize the whole Supreme Sect for a personal vendetta.
They couldn’t just give up resistance out of sympathy and wait for Ye Cang to execute them, right?
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor’s words instead ignited the wrath of the Supreme Sect members, and more and more disciples flew toward the Outer Sect City.
…
Long Qing’s expression also turned ice-cold. Ye Cang had brought up the master-disciple relationship, which indeed caused him regret, but with Heaven-Supporting Ancestor threatening the entire Supreme Sect, the shame and regret in his heart were instantly replaced by murderous intent.
He glared at Heaven-Supporting Ancestor and said coldly, “Do you really think you can act recklessly within the Supreme Sect?”
As he spoke, a trace of gray aura emanated from his eyes, making his whole persona appear even more eerie.
He was not as advanced in cultivation level as Heaven-Supporting Ancestor, but he had his own reliance!
That was the Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect!
Zuo Yijian, seated cross-legged in mid-air, also spoke up, “Right and wrong, grudges and favors, can be discussed, but if you want to threaten the entire Supreme Sect, I advise you to take back these words, otherwise your cultivation level won’t withstand the consequences of such karma.”
Seeing even a Loose Immortal so arrogant, Heaven-Supporting Ancestor thought these people had gone mad.
Could it be they believed Supporting Dao Sword Venerable was still protecting them?
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor’s divine sense enveloped the entire Supreme Sect and completely failed to detect the presence of Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, not to mention a presence comparable to Candle Star’s.
As Heaven-Supporting Ancestor was thinking, figures descended from the sky, and Long Qing’s daughter Long Ya had also arrived. Seeing her, Ye Cang’s eyes showed a subtle change.
Long Ya looked at Ye Cang with a complex expression, faintly resentful, which made Ye Cang unable to look her in the eye.
A handsome man in a gold-embroidered white robe stood in front of Long Qing. He was tall, his long hair tied up in a crown, exuding an unbeatable elegance, the pride in his expression undeniable.
“Ye Cang, every debt has its debtor, every grievance its culprit. Master didn’t support you as you wished, but if you honestly ask yourself, did Master mistreat you? Before you left the Supreme Sect, did you get less cultivation resources than I did? Despite conflicts with that disciple from the Cui Family, you both vied for the same opportunity; he died—wouldn’t the Cui Family think of you? Isn’t it because of your lack of foresight?”
This handsome man was Long Qing’s son, Long Teng, and he spoke with the fierce momentum of a wild beast.
He stared intently at Ye Cang and said, “All you know is hatred, but what about the grace the Supreme Sect has shown you? Because of hatred towards one person, one family, you would involve the entire Sect? Do you really think you are without guilt?”
“Since you hold your sister in such high regard, why didn’t you consider her when you were fighting? Did you think we are obligated to guard your sister for life, watching over her every moment?”
These successive interrogations made Ye Cang furrow his brows.
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor did not speak further. He had no personal grievance with the Supreme Sect; he wanted to see how Ye Cang would respond.
In his view, Ye Cang should experience such a confrontation and come to a clear understanding of himself.
“The people who have been kind to you, you only demand more, by what right do you act this way?” Long Teng said forcefully, and even though Heaven-Supporting Ancestor and Immortal Path Ultimate Treasure were mighty, he showed no fear, and even took a step forward while speaking.
Seeing Long Teng’s stance, Candle Star revealed a smile on his face.
Even though Ye Cang had cultivated the Primordial Chaos Body, in Candle Star’s eyes, he still didn’t measure up to Long Teng.
Feel it’s unfair?
When Ye Cang was the favored one by Long Qing, did Ye Cang ever consider how Long Teng felt being neglected?
Granted, Long Qing was somewhat biased in his manner and relationships, the closer they were, the more he may have taken them for granted, mainly because his energy and resources were limited. In his view, there was no need to make a big effort to win over his own children. Perhaps, due to a lifetime of drifting from one life to the next, he cared deeply about how outsiders felt under his command.
Candle Star didn’t think such a fault was a big deal.
The present issue wasn’t about what Long Qing did wrong; it was that he wasn’t as strong as Heaven-Supporting Ancestor!
If he was stronger, would he have allowed Heaven-Supporting Ancestor such insolence?
More and more people appeared on the Heaven-Repairing Platform, persuading Ye Cang, who had once shown peerless talent. It was too much of a pity for such a genius to become the Supreme Sect’s enemy, especially when the conflict could be resolved. Why go to such lengths to settle the score?
Ye Cang watched his former Sect friends and teachers, feeling somewhat swayed in his heart.
But whenever he thought of his sister’s death, he just couldn’t let go.
The very reason he had left the Supreme Sect with peace of mind was his belief that Master would take care of his sister. But instead of disciplining the Cui Family, Master had let them kill his sister.
Why should he?
His Master was the Sect Leader!
Ye Cang’s anger and intent to kill burst forth in his heart, and the more people tried to persuade him, the more he hated.
From the beginning to the end, the Cui Family never showed up, and the Supreme Sect did not attempt to capture them; it was as if the Cui Family were the victims!
“Master!”
Ye Cang’s voice was deep, drowning out all other noises between heaven and earth.
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor and Long Qing both turned to look at him. Both were his masters, but one protected him while the other stood on the opposing side.
Zuo Yijian sensed Ye Cang’s murderous aura and his expression shifted. He was about to stand up when suddenly, his gaze caught a figure, and he widened his eyes in excitement.
He did not exclaim aloud but quickly repressed his emotions.
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor said expressionlessly, “Speak, whatever you wish to do, your master will support you.”
As his words fell, the temperature around plummeted. The ancient green tower constantly burst forth with rainbow light, casting clarity on everyone’s faces.
Ye Cang took a deep breath and said, “Kill! Kill until…”
“Young man, watch your words. Some things can’t be taken back once said.”
A voice suddenly came from behind, and in an instant, Heaven-Supporting Ancestor, who was floating in mid-air, felt a hand press on his shoulder, and he found himself crashing down onto the Heaven-Repairing Platform.
Having become a remnant soul, Heaven-Supporting Ancestor had almost forgotten what it felt like to physically fall.
He instinctively turned his head and saw a figure standing behind him, one hand resting on his shoulder.
Everyone was frightened by Gu An’s sudden appearance, including Ye Cang, whose eyelids twitched wildly.
That someone had captured the mighty Heaven-Supporting Ancestor so easily.
Upon seeing Gu An, Long Qing felt relieved, but then, thinking of something, his face showed a shade of shame.
An elder who had lived through the last era widened his eyes in disbelief. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to remember something and swallowed his words.
It was also Candle Star’s first time seeing Gu An, but Gu An’s figure felt familiar to him.
Wait…
Wasn’t this the mysterious figure who had suppressed the Celestial Spirit God?
Candle Star instinctively glanced at Long Qing, and seeing his expression, felt even more certain about his guess. He breathed a sigh of relief while also feeling a bit nervous.
This was the terrifying existence who had effortlessly suppressed the Celestial Spirit God; he couldn’t fathom what such a being might be thinking.
Heaven-Supporting Ancestor was unable to move; he couldn’t even retract his Immortal Path Ultimate Treasure. Waves of shock surged in his heart.
Gu An ignored Heaven-Supporting Ancestor beneath his hand and looked at Ye Cang, saying, “Ultimately, your enemies are not here. Many things can be mended. You can avenge the dead, but you should also cherish the living.”
Ye Cang saw Heaven-Supporting Ancestor pressed to the ground, unable to even turn around to look at him, and this filled him with fear.
Gu An looked so young but gave off an unfathomable aura.
He nervously asked, “And who are you?”
He had voiced the question on everyone’s mind.
Afraid that Ye Cang might offend Gu An, Long Qing hastily barked, “Aren’t you going to kneel and kowtow to your Ancestor?”
Ancestor?
Ye Cang stood there stunned, along with Long Teng, Long Ya, and the other members of the Long Family.
This person was Long Qing’s master?
Wait!
Wasn’t Long Qing’s master…
More and more people started to realize this point; some gasped, while others trembled and knelt straight on the ground.
Ye Cang also came to the realization of Gu An’s identity, his mind buzzing. He stood still, unsure of what to do.
Gu An’s left hand lifted, and with a wave through the air, a man appeared beneath his hand, his shoulder grasped by Gu An.
This man was handsomely dressed, his face handsome, but it carried a hint of malevolence.
His expression was baffled, obviously startled by the sudden turn of events. When he saw Ye Cang, his face greatly changed.
Ye Cang’s notoriety spread far and wide, and he had always dreaded encountering Ye Cang.
Upon seeing him, Ye Cang’s eyes instantly reddened, his murderous intent irrepressible.
“You…”
Cui Xianlin had just opened his mouth when he was suppressed by a force.
Gu An couldn’t be bothered to listen to their dispute; through causal calculations, he could understand the truth.
Cui Xianlin’s brother fancied Long Ya, but Long Ya was close to Ye Cang, leading to Cui Xianlin’s brother warning Ye Cang several times in private, which resulted in a grudge between the two men.
The reason Cui Xianlin’s brother died was that he attacked Ye Cang and, in a twist of fate, was killed by a Demon Beast.
After Ye Cang left, Cui Xianlin returned to Supreme Sect only to discover his brother’s death. He wanted Ye Cang to suffer the same pain.
The Cui Family was also in distress. They were wary of Long Qing and Candle Star; otherwise, they would not have sent Cui Xianlin away.
Whether it was the Cui Family or Ye Cang, both paid a price. Supreme Sect had also discussed this matter with the Cui Family, and ultimately, it was left in the past.
But the Cui Family never dared let Cui Xianlin return due to Candle Star’s domineering actions.
Gu An stared at Ye Cang and said, “You’re avenging your sister, and your master helps you; that’s all fine. But you must also allow your master’s Ancestor to help him. What do you think?”
Ye Cang, overwhelmed, was even more unsure of what to do.
The thought that the person before him was the myth of Supreme Sect threw his mind into turmoil.
Long Qing quickly approached Gu An and said, “Master, Cang’er is just a bit impulsive. It’s all my fault as his master.”
He was worried that Gu An was angry, always believing that Supreme Sect was Gu An’s soft spot, which was why he valued the Sect so highly.
Gu An looked towards Long Qing with a calm gaze and said, “You’ve disappointed me.”
At those words, Long Qing’s complexion drastically changed, and unable to maintain the air of a Sect Leader, he knelt down anxiously.
Seeing the Sect Leader kneel, all Supreme Sect cultivators knelt in unison, Zuo Yijian included.
