Yan Zhaoge looked at Ye Jing who looked like he wanted to devour him whole.
After hearing his question, complex emotions surfaced in his eyes which had originally been gradually losing all rationality.
Anger, regret, unwillingness, longing, hatred, loathing, disgust and so on.
However, these emotions were also very quickly swallowed up by the flames of fury.
Ye Jing clenched his teeth, staring fixedly at Yan Zhaoge. However, he did not answer the question, only repeatedly repeating, "Because of you … because of you … everything was because of you!"
Seeing this, Yan Xu's expression did not change, but deep within his eyes, a look of disappointment could not be concealed, "Mud can never hold up a wall."
Previously, when he had found Ye Jing, he had not revealed his identity, only telling Ye Jing that he could help him take revenge.
However, he needed Ye Jing to cooperate with him.
The Ghost Hatchet Elder Han Sheng had been drawn over through Ye Jing. Han Sheng making a move was a pleasant surprise for Yan Xu.
Yan Zhaoge dying at Han Sheng's hands, and Han Sheng being killed by a Broad Creed Mountain expert afterwards, as Yan Xu saw it, was the most perfect result.
If he had to personally kill Yan Zhaoge, Ye Jing would have to come in handy.
However, from the looks of it now, Ye Jing would not be of any use at all. He had clearly already taught him to push the blame for Lin Yushao's death onto Yan Zhaoge's head …
However, Ye Jing, whose mind had been clouded by rage, did not seem to think that this was a good idea.
As he saw it, what need was there to frame someone?
Everything that had happened today had been caused by Yan Zhaoge in the first place!
Looking at Ye Jing, Yan Xu shook his head deeply within his heart.
A person who had lost their rationality was easy to bewitch, but such a person was similarly easy to lose control of himself, causing some unexpected accidents to occur.
The Principal Elder of the Eastern Tang was now deeply feeling the pain of having a pig-headed teammate.
Looking at Ye Jing's appearance, Shi Tie also shook his head within his heart.
Affected by the cultivation technique that had reconstructed his body, Ye Jing's emotions had become extremely unstable. He was irritable and easily angered, finding it hard to maintain his calm.
Did he really not understand everything that had happened in the Sealing Dragon Abyss that day?
Not necessarily; it was more that he was not willing to believe it.
At the end of the day, it was just that he could not accept it, believing that he should not have suffered a tribulation for no reason at all, especially right in front of Yan Zhaoge.
Having suffered a tribulation, someone must have harmed him. Other than Yan Zhaoge whom he already had relations with, was there any other possible candidate?
From a certain point of view, he was just venting his anger and looking for a place to vent.
In the end, she felt that as the victim, she absolutely could not lower her head in front of the perpetrator. She had to seek justice for herself and return everything that she had suffered to the enemy.
It was just that in this constant process of self-hypnosis, Ye Jing's mood became more and more unstable.
He became more and more manic, and the murderous intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
From the victim that he thought he was, step by step, he became someone who harmed others, and became more and more unscrupulous.
Shi Tie very rarely felt the emotion of regret, but right now, he really had some doubts. Was the person that he had originally taken a fancy to and had the intention to take in as a disciple really this Ye Jing before his eyes?
After hearing Yan Zhaoge's question, all of Ye Jing's reactions had fallen into his eyes. Naturally, he could tell that Ye Jing's so-called 'because of you' stemmed from anger and resentment, and not from accusing Yan Zhaoge of murder.
Ye Jing stared fixedly at Yan Zhaoge, hissing, "If not for being bewitched by you, how could Yushao not have left with me!"
Yan Zhaoge came before him, looking down at him, "Not going with you, so you definitely won't let her go with me?"
Ye Jing snorted, his eyes bloodshot, his rationality and clarity completely disappearing once more, "Those who stand on your side, are my enemies!"
Yan Zhaoge looked at him, his tone calm, yet causing one to feel a bone-deep chill, "Very good, prepare to pay with your life for junior apprentice-sister Lin."
Ye Jing roared angrily, "You're not allowed to mention her! If not for you that year, none of this would have happened!"
Yan Zhaoge, however, no longer paid him any attention, instead looking at Yan Xu, "Ye Jing does not know the Tushita Palm."
"Although the technique he currently cultivates in is very strange, containing the force of fire within it, it is completely different from the Tushita Palm."
"Elder Yan, as the first person to discover junior apprentice-sister Lin's corpse, I would like to ask, who caused the Tushita Palm wounds on junior apprentice-sister Lin's body?"
Shi Tie similarly looked at Yan Xu.
Under the gazes of Yan Zhaoge and Shi Tie, Yan Xu was silent for a moment before he raised his eyes, his gaze calm, "It was caused by this old man."
He said slowly, "The competition between Elder Yan and Elder Fang grew more intense by the day, and this old man was momentarily blinded by greed, intending to use Yan Zhaoge to deal a blow to Elder Yan."
"With Yan Zhaoge's crime confirmed, not only would Elder Yan lose all face, he would also gain the reputation of not teaching his son properly."
"How could such a person inherit the position of Clan Chief?"
Yan Xu said calmly, "And this way, the old Clan Chief, Elder Shi, as well as the other higher echelon experts of the clan, would all have a much lower opinion of Elder Yan and his father."
"Elder Fang's path to the position of Clan Chief would then be much smoother."
"In the future, this old man would also be able to obtain many benefits."
"This is being blinded by greed; this is the first sin."
"Other than that, a junior like Yan Zhaoge has contradicted this old man time and time again, causing this old man to be filled with a belly full of resentment. If I don't vent it, I won't feel at ease, intentionally making things difficult for him, teaching him a lesson."
"This is being blinded by hatred; this is the second sin."
Yan Xu's tone was calm and without fluctuations, "As a Principal Elder, this old man has committed many grave sins; I am willing to step down from my position and head to the Disciplinary Hall to receive my punishment."
"No matter what punishment the clan imposes, this old man will have no objections."
"Now that our clan is at odds with the Sacred Sun Clan, I do not dare to continue remaining in the Eastern Tang. I sincerely request to head to the frontlines of the conflict between the South Heaven Region and the Fire Domain, fighting against the enemies of the Sacred Sun Clan."
"If this old life of mine is thrown away there, it can also be considered as paying for this sin; I hope that Elder Shi will allow it."
Shi Tie looked at him silently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, not saying a word.
Looking at Yan Xu, Yan Zhaoge asked, "Elder Yan, is that all?"
Yan Xu said mildly, "This old man has admitted to my wrongdoings in front of a junior like you; this old face of mine has already been stripped clean; what else is there to hide?"
Yan Zhaoge sneered, but his gaze was a little cold, "Elder Yan's ability to catch the big and let go of the small is deeply worth learning from."
"However, I would like to ask you, how did the movements of me and Elder Xu's group fall into the Sacred Sun Clan's grasp?"
Yan Xu's expression did not change, "This old man is also very curious about this point."
He looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Are you hinting that this old man intentionally leaked the information to the Sacred Sun Clan, intending to kill you with a borrowed knife, sending you to your death?"
"This old man admits that regarding your matter, I was a little narrow-minded, but it was still not to the extent of wanting your life; this old man had no reason to do so."
"As for this old man appearing here, as I said just now, it was because I had hurried over to provide assistance."
Yan Xu looked at Yan Zhaoge, "You said that this old man wanted to harm your life; this is truly as good as wanting to pin a crime on someone."
Yan Zhaoge was surprised, "The evidence is irrefutable."
Looking at Yan Xu, Shi Tie slowly shook his head, "Elder Yan, seeing that I have appeared here, are you still hoping for a fluke?"
Yan Xu's expression did not change, but his heart sunk.
Shi Tie similarly did not speak any further, only leading the group through the clouds, flying over the great earth, very quickly arriving at a manor, where they landed.
Seeing this manor, Yan Xu's expression instantly dimmed slightly.
Outside the manor stood a person, a hale and hearty old man.
It was precisely the East Disciplinary Elder who had visited the Eastern Tang half a year ago for Yan Zhaoge's sake.
The Disciplinary Elder bowed towards Shi Tie, "First Seat, when we arrived, the other party was just about to silence them; two of them could not be saved."
"However, the others have already all been captured. After preliminary interrogation, it is already sufficient to convict Yan Xu of colluding with the Sacred Sun Clan, divulging the whereabouts of our clan's disciples."
