Huang Yuan was an old member of Crimson Heaven Sect. Many of the Banner Masters, Incense Masters, and Hall Masters had been personally promoted by him. He knew better than anyone that the reason he was still alive today was because of the blood of countless Crimson Heaven brothers, the Crimson Fiend Dragon Elephant's body, and the life of the Sovereign King!
If he sided with Sengoku, how could he face the dead Chi Xiao brothers?
How could he face the Crimson Dragon Elephant, who died protecting all Chi Xiao brothers?
How could he face the King, who took all the blame alone and sacrificed his own life in exchange for the peace of all Chi Xiao brothers?
Should he side with Sengoku?
Huang Yuan could not do that.
He would not allow any Chi Xiao people to do that.
All these years, he had not only persuaded his own descendants, but also Zhou Taihe and the other Chi Xiao people.
Even though no one listened to his advice.
But he had never given up. Until now, he was still persevering, hoping that one day, Zhou Taihe and the other Chi Xiao people would turn back.
"Elder Huang, what do you think of this matter?"
One of the Crimson Firmament people asked in a low voice, "Do you think that person is the Sovereign King? I heard that he is not a reincarnator, not even a reincarnation. Back then, the King was judged by the Immortal Dao. If he had returned, he would have been reincarnated. But that person … "
"If he is not the King, how could the Crimson Dragon Elephant be so respectful?"
The Chi Xiao people gathered in the main hall had been discussing this question. But after so long, no one dared to say that the person was real, and no one dared to say that he was fake.
As for whether the person who claimed to be the King was real, Huang Yuan had not seen him before, so he did not dare to make a judgment.
He sat in a chair, looking a little old, holding a walking stick. Looking at these frightened people, he could not help but shake his head and sigh, "If you had known this would happen, you would not have done it in the first place. If you had not betrayed Chi Xiao and sided with Sengoku, you would not have to worry about whether that person is the real King."
Huang Yuan's words made the Chi Xiao people blush. They knew that they were in the wrong, but they did not dare to say anything.
It could be seen that some of the Crimson Firmament people were more or less regretful in their hearts. It was not because of the appearance of the Crimson Firmament Sovereign King in the Yan Luo Kingdom, who was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake Crimson Firmament Sovereign King, who had taken the Blood Fiend Dragon Elephant from Shi Lingkai, Tan Tong and the others, which made them feel afraid and regretful.
This was also one of the reasons, but it was only one of the reasons.
Perhaps it was because of Senior Huang Yuan's persuasion over the years that some Chi Xiao people felt guilty. They also felt that they had let down their dead Chi Xiao brothers by siding with Sengoku, and they were even more sorry for the survival that the King had exchanged his life for. Many Chi Xiao people even stopped using their Crimson Dragon Elephant. Every time they used it, they did not dare to face it. This was because they all knew that the Crimson Dragon Elephant had been judged by the Immortal Dao in order to protect them.
They still had the Crimson Dragon Gang that the Chi Xiao brothers had forged together in their bodies.
They carried the Dragon Elephant Spirit that had died to protect them.
Now they had sided with Sengoku.
This made many Chi Xiao people's consciences feel tormented.
However, at this point, it was like an arrow on a bow. There was no turning back. They could only walk this path to the end. Even if they did not seek glory and wealth for themselves, they had to think for their descendants. After all, they were all Chi Xiao people. They had overthrown Sengoku back then and could be said to be sinners of the Immortal Dao. Although the Ninth Heaven had promised the King that they would not pursue this matter, the King was willing to accept the judgment.
However.
Who could guarantee that Sengoku would not seek revenge in the present era?
If they were alone, they would have nothing to fear.
What about their descendants?
Many Chi Xiao people could only go against their conscience and face moral condemnation for the future of their descendants and side with Sengoku.
For the sake of their descendants, they were willing to bear the name of a traitor.
Of course.
There were also many Chi Xiao people who did not think so much. They sided with Sengoku not only for themselves, but also for their descendants. They did not face moral condemnation and did not feel guilty about it. Instead, they felt that it was right.
A wise man submits to circumstances.
Every man for himself and the devil takes the hindmost.
These were the reasons why they sided with Sengoku.
"Elder Huang, what's the point of saying this now?"
"Yes, Elder Huang, why are you still saying this at this time?"
Some Chi Xiao people could not stand it and could not help but rebuke Huang Yuan. Some even mocked and ridiculed Huang Yuan, saying that his own descendants had sided with Sengoku and that he still had the face to criticize others. Huang Yuan was not angry.
After all these years, he had gotten used to it. But looking at these Chi Xiao brothers who had gone through life and death with him, he could not bear it. He said, "God is watching what people do. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not yet come. Whether you are willing to listen or not, I still have to say this. Before you make a big mistake, turn back."
Although these people who followed Zhou Taihe had sided with Sengoku, they had not publicly accepted Sengoku's conferment. This was Huang Yuan's bottom line. He knew very well that once these Chi Xiao people accepted Sengoku's conferment, there would be no turning back.
And Huang Yuan also knew in his heart that this year's temple fair, which was not long from now, Zhou Taihe would lead these Chi Xiao people to publicly accept Sengoku's conferment. From then on, they would no longer be Chi Xiao people, but Sengoku officials.
To this.
There was nothing he could do to stop it.
He still could not recover from his injuries from back then. Not only that, when he learned that Zhou Taihe and the other Chi Xiao people, as well as his own descendants, had sided with Sengoku, he was even angrier, and his injuries became even more serious. Today, he was no longer as strong as he was in the past. He could only rely on the ninth tribulation transcendent spirit to survive. Once the ninth tribulation transcendent spirit ran out of fuel, it would be the day he died. Today, he could clearly feel that he did not have much time left.
He stood up, leaned on his walking stick, and said, "Today, while everyone is here, I want to say a few words. Originally, I was going to say these words when Taihe came, but it seems that he won't be back for a while. In that case, I will say these words first."
At this time, someone said, "Elder Huang, if you still want to talk nonsense, you don't have to open your mouth."
The one who said this was also a Chi Xiao person. His name was Ma Hai, and he was also the deputy leader of the Heartless Division. Back then, he was the Left Envoy under the black-hearted Master Zhou Taihe. Among the Chi Xiao people, he was the one who supported Zhou Taihe the most, and had always firmly supported him. Many of the reasons why Zhou Taihe was able to win over so many Chi Xiao people was because of him.
"Ma Hai, don't worry. I won't try to persuade you anymore."
Perhaps because Ma Hai did not expect Huang Yuan to suddenly say this, he was rather surprised.
"All these years, in order to persuade all of you, I've said all that I should say and all that I shouldn't say. But until now, all of you have never turned back. I've long since been disheartened and don't want to persuade you anymore."
"You have sided with Sengoku for the sake of glory and wealth, or for the sake of your descendants. This is the path you have chosen. Whether it is life or death, fortune or misfortune, it is all up to you to bear.
"This time, I have never seen the person who claims to be the King, and I don't know if he is real or fake. However, there is one thing that I have to warn you seriously. If that person is fake, then so be it. If he is really the King, then you should prepare for your funeral."
