The King Of The Underworld looked at Yan Nanlai mockingly and said calmly, "Loyal, courageous, and a role model? Are you saying nice things, or do you only speak for yourself? "
"Now, among the Four Ancient Heroes of Taixu Temple, the most famous one is Yan Xinghe. He is the pillar of Taixu Temple and supports the Divine Continent. Back then, he perished together with me and forced me to abdicate. He inherited the will of the Taixu Taoist and is the most legitimate successor of Taixu Temple."
"But in the era that I lived in, hehe, when Taixu Temple is mentioned, the first person that comes to everyone's mind would never be the Temple Master, but Wen Chiyang. It's just like how when the strongest humans in the Divine Land are mentioned, no one would ever think of Taoist Tian Chen or Xia Fangyu. Instead, they would think of Wen Chiyang first."
The King Of The Underworld shook his head. "Although I have only been truly resurrected in recent years, the news has not been blocked for so many years. It seems that regardless of whether it is internally or externally, the Taixu Temple has always treated this loyal and courageous Grandmaster Chi Yang as a role model. You have always kept it a secret and downplayed it, haven't you?"
"Other than his outstanding strength, which is publicly acknowledged and can never be changed, in your eyes, his entire life is probably more of a stain, right?"
The corners of the Underworld Emperor's mouth revealed a faint smile. "Let this emperor guess, what do you think of Wen Chiyang?"
"In your eyes, Wen Chiyang should never have fallen in love with Yun Yao. Otherwise, he would not have suffered such a tragedy in the future."
"In your eyes, when conflict arose between his wife and Xia Huang, Wen Chiyang should have decisively divorced his wife, or even killed her."
"The way you see it, if it weren't for the fact that Wen Chiyang left behind a spell to protect the pregnant Cloud Yao, the Xia Emperor would have been able to easily kill the Cloud Yao, and then he would still be able to deal with the Divine Abyss of Extreme Spirituality."
The King Of The Underworld smiled. "So, you are not wrong, and the fault lies entirely with Wen Chiyang?"
A gloominess flashed past Yan Nanlai's eyes. From the beginning of history until now, among those within the Taixu Temple who knew the details of history, this was the mainstream view of Wen Chiyang.
The King Of The Underworld laughed. "In my eyes, there is only one reason why Wen Chiyang ended up in such a pathetic and laughable state. He is too powerful, but he does not realize it.
"The people who live under his shadow are not only Daoist Tian Chen and Xia Fangyu. There is another person who has always been covered by his shadow. It is the second generation head of the Void Temple, Yan Xinghe, whom he brought up since he was young and became his senior and junior brother for over ten thousand years."
"Wen Chiyang has never interfered with the internal affairs of the Human Emperor. Although he has disagreements with Yan Qingwu on the general policy, he has never used his own strength to make arbitrary decisions. This does not affect Yan Qingwu's management and leadership of the internal affairs of Taixu Temple. His eyes are always on Infinite Wasteland.
"In his heart, his comrades and compatriots are behind him. However, he would never have thought that in the eyes of those who hide behind him, he is actually more like a powerful artifact like the Haotian Mirror. However, unlike the Haotian Mirror, when he loses his power and value, what is left is not pity, but disgust and disgust.
"Perhaps in the eyes of some people, if only Wen Chiyang could drag the Divine Abyss Lingzhi to perish together with him in the ancient war. That would be the perfect ending."
The King Of The Underworld revealed a mocking smile. "However, the final outcome is not bad. As long as Xia Fangyu could kill the heavily injured Divine Abyss Lingzhi, the outcome would still be perfect. Therefore, after Wen Chiyang's Destiny Lamp extinguished, Xia Fangyu came looking for him. Yan Xinghe also had no qualms about helping Xia Fangyu find out where Wen Chiyang was living in seclusion.
"However, it is a pity that Yan Xinghe did not understand Wen Chiyang and Xia Fangyu well enough. He miscalculated Xia Fangyu's determination to avenge his son's death and underestimated the fact that Wen Chiyang had left a protective Dharmic power restriction on Yun Yao."
Yan Nanlai said Silently, "Not everyone is like you, only thinking about themselves."
The King Of The Underworld laughed softly. "At the very least, Xia Fangyu is like me."
In front of him, the Evil Soul of Xia Huang was expressionless. However, its eyes were filled with desolation.
Looking at the Evil Soul of Xia Huang, Yan Nanlai, Dao Lord Qing Yi, Dao Lord Qing Ning, Wu Mengqi, and the others all sighed.
"Thank you, King Of The Underworld, for sharing some of the secrets of that era. However, I have a question." Lin Feng suddenly clapped his hands and said.
The King Of The Underworld looked at him. "Master Xuan Men, feel free to speak."
Lin Feng said indifferently, "Xia Huang indulged his clansmen and covered up for his son's wrongdoings. This was a personal sin, but merits are merits and demerits are demerits. During his ascension to the throne, he contributed to the Divine Land."
"The grudge with Wen Chiyang and his wife was also a personal grudge. However, this personal grudge led to another incident, which was that he abandoned his official duties for personal reasons and allowed Jihuang Shenyuan to escape. As a result, he left behind a huge threat for the Divine Land."
"Just as the King Of The Underworld said, the most laughable thing about this incident is that the person who helped him clean up the mess and shoulder the responsibility was Wen Chiyang, whose wife and son he slaughtered. What's even more laughable is that Wen Chiyang originally controlled the Netherworld Sea. If it wasn't for the battle with Jihuang Shenyuan, he actually wouldn't have had to die and would have had the chance to return to the Vast Thousand Domains."
Lin Feng said calmly, "Of course, if that was the case, it's hard to say what would have happened when he returned."
Yan Nanlai, Dao Lord Qing Yi, and the others all looked somewhat gloomy.
However, Lin Feng then changed the topic. "But that's not my question. My question is, when Xia Huang abandoned his official duties for personal reasons and allowed Jihuang Shenyuan to escape, what were you doing, King Of The Underworld?"
Lin Feng looked at the King Of The Underworld and lightly slapped his forehead. "Oh, that's right. You were tailing Xia Huang and killed him."
The King Of The Underworld's expression was calm as he met Lin Feng's gaze. Lin Feng said calmly, "Through Ding of Shenzhou, I can clearly tell that Your Excellency's magical powers had already surpassed Xia Huang's at that time. Although Your Excellency did not possess a creation treasure at that time, Your Excellency's battle prowess was strong enough. You might not have been able to kill the heavily injured Jihuang Shenyuan, but at the very least, you had a chance."
"While it's true that Xia Huang was lacking in personal morals and integrity, making it difficult for him to be called a proper ruler, Your Excellency is the same. Between your personal interests and the justice of the divine prefecture, you chose the former."
"Not to mention, after you ascended the throne, you intended to build the Netherworld and enslave the dead. This is something that no one would agree to." Lin Feng placed his hands behind his back and said unhurriedly, "What happened to Xia Huang has nothing to do with Your Excellency being deposed in the future."
The King Of The Underworld's expression was similarly indifferent as he smiled faintly. "The winner takes all. There's no need to say anything else."
Lin Feng tilted his head slightly as a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Oh? Not necessarily, right? You only have yourself to blame for a lot of things. "
"Xia Huang sacrificed his duties for personal reasons and let Jihuang Shenyuan go. Even if Yan Xinghe supported him in the beginning and the two of them got along well, there would definitely be a rift between the two of them in the future. This has nothing to do with Yan Xinghe's moral character, but it stems from the fact that there will be endless troubles in the future."
"Xia Huang was lacking in morals, and his clansmen caused the entire Divine Land to be filled with complaints. If Your Excellency can successfully kill Jihuang Shenyuan, then your reputation will definitely far surpass Xia Huang's. Even if it's not as good as Wen Chiyang's, it won't be too far off. Your personal strength is already above Xia Huang's. If the scandal of Xia Huang sacrificing his duties for personal reasons were to spread, it would be hard to say who the Human Emperor would belong to in the future."
Lin Feng glanced at Yan Nanlai and the others and shook his head with a smile. "From what I know, Your Excellency had a good relationship with Taixu Temple before you ascended the throne, and it's not much worse than Xia Huang's."
"As for the future troubles of Xia Huang's survival, hehe, can this future trouble be greater than Jihuang Shenyuan's? It's true that you were deposed and overthrown later on, but I believe that Your Excellency definitely wants to sit on the throne for eternity. You want to sit on the Human Emperor's seat forever. As long as Jihuang Shenyuan doesn't die, there will come a day when you have to face him again. "
"After all, at that time, no one knew that Wen Chiyang, whose Natal Lamp had been extinguished, would one day return to the Divine Land."
The King Of The Underworld was expressionless. After a while, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "History cannot repeat itself. What you said is not absolutely certain."
"However, in the long years that followed, I would sometimes think about it. If I had chosen a different method back then, what would the situation be like?"
Lin Feng also smiled. "The choice you made on how to ascend to the throne is in line with your own style of doing things. You're used to hiding your head and showing your tail, so you will always, intentionally or unintentionally, ignore the open and honorable way of doing things. It's not that you really didn't think of it, but you habitually ignored these choices."
"However, to be honest, you used your own method to successfully ascend to the throne, and you also sat on the peaceful throne for a long time. However, as long as you don't change your original intention and try to control the cycle of life and death, even if you step on Jihuang Shenyuan's corpse to ascend to the throne, your final outcome as the Human Emperor will not change."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he no longer looked at the King Of The Underworld. His gaze turned to Yan Nanlai, Dao Master Qing Yi, and the others. "As for the relationship between Dao Master Scarlet Sun and the second generation Temple Master Yan Xinghe, forgive me for using a common slang used by mortals to describe it."
"Wen Chiyang's sincerity was all fed to the dogs in the end."
The expressions of everyone in Taixu Temple suddenly changed. Even the usually calm Yan Nanlai's expression changed slightly at this moment. Dao Master Qing Ning even shouted angrily, "What did you say?"
Lin Feng looked at him calmly. "I'm not used to repeating myself twice. If you really want me to repeat myself, that's fine. Stand closer."
Pointing to the front, Lin Feng said indifferently, "If you want to question me, don't stand so far away. Stand here."
Dao Master Qing Ning was stunned. "You …"
Lin Feng no longer paid attention to him. He looked around and said indifferently, "Previously, I showed everyone the memories of Wen Chiyang after he entered the Netherworld Sea. Now, I'm showing him the memories of the second last battle of his life before he entered the Netherworld Sea."
Finishing speaking, Lin Feng lightly flicked his finger and a shadow appeared in the void. It was the scene of Wen Chiyang rushing to the aid of White Cloud Mountain during the war between the two worlds in ancient times, the scene of the great battle against the Extreme Emperor's Divine Abyss.
Wen Chiyang sensed the power of the Extreme King Divine Abyss, and he had a foreboding of his own fate. But he wasn't afraid. "I have to kill this demon. Otherwise, the dark times of the Archaic epoch will return."
Wen Chiyang looked at Yan Xinghe in front of him. "Xinghe, I need the help of the Haotian Mirror this time. Even if I die, I'm confident that the Divine Abyss will be gravely injured. At that time, I need you and Xia Fangyu to kill it completely."
Yan Xinghe nodded. "I'll control the Supreme Void Yin Yang Formation and Xia Fangyu will refine the new Ding of Shenzhou. We will not let this monkey return to Infinite Wilderness alive."
Wen Chiyang was silent for a moment. "Xinghe, I know you've always been prejudiced against Yun 'er. However, she's not an enemy of the Divine Land. Now that she's pregnant and about to become a mother, our child will become the most important thing to her, not hatred."
"If anything happens to me, I don't ask you to take care of them. I just hope that you can keep silent and not make things difficult for them. This is my only concern."
