"You are lying!"
Covering her ears, Grey shrieked, "You are lying! You killed my father! You killed my mother! You are lying! You are all lying! The whole world is a lie!"
"I am not lying. It is your father who is lying, and you are lying to yourself, too."
Lei Lie coldly said, "Actually, you already knew the answer in your heart. You should have known the answer from the moment you stepped onto the demonic path like Glenn. It wasn't me who killed your father, it was him who killed himself!
"Not only did he kill himself, but he also killed his most beloved wife and my most beloved sister. He also killed his own son and daughter, making it impossible for you to live a normal life for the rest of your life.
"But it was all because of his cowardice, his greed, and his stupidity! He was unwilling to follow the rules and worship the path of the Iron Fist obediently. But he was ludicrously tempted by the devil and degenerated into the abyss of machines and steam!
"As a priest of the Fist Temple, after I learned the truth, I should've reported it to my superiors and led a large batch of people to capture him. Then, I would've tied him up and burned him on the stake so that I could purge his evil soul with furious flames in front of everybody in the Red Gold Town.
"However, for the sake of our brotherhood of decades, for the sake of my poor sister, for the sake of the two of you, even I abandoned the path of the iron fist. For the first time in my life, I tarnished the sacred faith. I didn't announce Glenn's depravity to the public. I only went to find him in private and used death to give him the simplest relief.
"There was no scheme, betrayal, or evil in this. I only wanted to protect my sister and the two of you. I did not expect that the cruel fate would give a fair judgment to your degenerate family. Your mother guessed the truth in the end and passed away in heartbreak. But you, Grey, have inherited your father's strength and will, as well as his ambition and stupidity. Just like him, you have embarked on the path that leads directly to hell!"
Lei Lie shook his head and sighed.
The rain started pouring again, and the raindrops fell on his face, mixing with his hot tears, crisscrossing, dripping, dripping, dripping.
Grey's face was pale. She was silent for a long time, unable to say anything.
"You've already made a big mistake. There's no turning back."
Lei Lie's tears and voice gradually became colder and colder like the rain. He said word by word, "I don't want to lie to you. Even as your uncle, I can't save you. After all, you used the forbidden power to kill so many people while you were on the run. You have to account for it.
"Now, there are only two paths in front of you. You can either be killed by me on the spot, or be captured by me and sent back to the Fist God Palace to be publicly executed.
"As for me, because I hid something about Glenn, I don't have the qualifications to be the priest of the Fist God Palace anymore. After this matter is over, I will personally go to the Fist God Palace in Qianyuan City to repent to the high priest there and face all punishments calmly.
"Our fates have long been decided, but your younger brother is innocent. He can still be saved.
"I believe that Gus knows nothing about what you've done. Whether it's the fall of father or sister, it has nothing to do with him. The reason why he ran away was that he was held hostage by you. Grey, is that right?"
Grey thought quickly and looked at Gus. She gritted her teeth and said, "That's right. I held him hostage. I threatened Gus that if he didn't go with me, I would kill him! You know that trash like him couldn't resist my coercion. I forced him to come all the way here so that I could use him as a hostage at the critical moment! "
"Sister …"
Gus was dumbfounded. Then he realized that his sister had said that on purpose to save his life.
This also meant that his sister had taken all the responsibility on herself. She had made up her mind to die.
"Very good. The Fist God is cruel and fair. The Fist God Palace will figure out whether Gus has fallen into the Devil's Path or not."
Lei Lie sighed and said, "As for you, Grey …"
"No need to say more. Come on!"
Grey suddenly soared into the sky like a big bird.
It was the last attack that she launched with all her vitality.
Her body, which was burning because of the high fever, seemed to have turned into a torch that was shining in the dark night. Hot currents that looked like magma were spurting out of her every cell, which gathered into an unstoppable, overwhelming force and blasted at Lei Lie brutally.
"You've become weaker, Grey."
Lei Lie, however, said, "Since the moment you fell into the devil's path of machines and steam, you no longer believed in your fists and that they boasted indestructible strength. How can such fists be the strongest fists in the world?"
"Hu!"
The black robe on the priest of the Fist God Palace had been soaked in the rain and was dangling like the skin of a snake.
But as Lei Lie breathed, it was enriched by the surging airwaves and turned into a bulging ball.
The rainwater that soaked the black robe was bounced away by the airwaves and turned into thousands of sharp water arrows that were shot at Grey.
Gritting her teeth, Grey broke into the net made of raindrops. Her face, body, and limbs were immediately cut into thousands of shocking wounds. She couldn't help but slow down for a moment.
Below Lei Lie's black robe, a hundred serpents seemed to be wriggling crazily. Ripples accumulated on the black robe layer by layer, until they condensed into a giant and clear fist in the end.
BOOM!
The fist burst out and broke through the air, shattering the rainwater and Grey's protective spiritual gas, before it hit Grey's chest hard.
"Pu!"
Grey vomited a mouthful of blood crazily. The veins and joints all over her body had been broken apart. She was blown backward and fell to the cliff like a broken bag.
It was the ultimate power of the 'Deep Sea Fist'. It was the loyalty of the priests of the Fist God Palace to the enemy of iron fists!
"Sister —"
Seeing that his sister was hovering and withering in the storm like a bird with broken wings, Gus's eyes were almost exploding.
For Gus, the second when his sister and uncle fought was as long as a hundred years when he was reborn and revived from the dead.
He understood what his sister and his uncle meant very well.
Whatever their stances and beliefs were, they loved Gus deeply and hoped that they could save his life.
However, with everything coming to this point, even if Gus abandoned his sister and went back with his uncle obediently, how was he going to live on in the Red Gold Town? How was he going to face the condemnation of thousands of people? How was he going to forget the miserable deaths of his father, mother, and sister? How was he going to forget the goddamn power of machines and steam?
The words that his father wrote on the front page of his diary were still vivid in his mind.
His sister's hysterical scream was still echoing next to his ears.
"The whole world is a lie!"
Ten thousand thoughts were fighting inside Gus' head.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of a saying.
"I can tolerate the darkness, as long as I don't find out that the darkness is a man-made lie."
"Sister!"
Gus shouted again and lunged at where his sister was falling subconsciously, but he did not notice that below his feet was a bottomless abyss that was also enshrouded in clouds.
In his uncle's roar and the exclamations of the pursuers, Gus and Grey fell together.
