"I have a clear conscience!"
Qi Xuangang turned to look at Duan Qing, with cold murderous intent in his eyes. "How did the eldest brother treat you back then? He regarded you as a younger brother and taught you like a father. The master had no time, so the eldest brother taught you cultivation. You also worked hard, and when you encountered problems in cultivation, you also asked the eldest brother for help. How did you lead the people of the Shen clan and kill the eldest brother with your own hands? Is this what you call a clear conscience? "
"The eldest brother was the Gentleman Sword Emperor. He lived a life of integrity, magnanimity, and righteousness. If any of the younger brothers were in trouble, the eldest brother would come forward to solve it. He was betrayed by his own younger brother, and when his sword was broken, he did not look at the people of the Shen clan, but at you. He asked you why. Is this what you call a clear conscience?"
Qi Xuangang's voice was loud and clear, and each word struck the heart.
Duan Qing's expression changed slightly. Countless people outside the Realm Palace heard Qi Xuangang's words, and their hearts trembled. Although they had vaguely guessed some things, they were still shocked to hear Qi Xuangang say it in front of everyone.
The Realm Palace had betrayed the Sky River Great Elder.
"Do you remember how the seventh brother treated you? He betrothed his sister to you, and in a crisis outside, he almost lost his life for you. He lost an arm. Do you remember how the seventh brother and his sister looked at you when they died? Is this what you call a clear conscience? "
Qi Xuangang continued to question. Back then, many of them could have escaped. Everything was because of the betrayal of the traitor, Duan Qing. They were like brothers, but who would have thought that Duan Qing, who had fled with them, had secretly colluded with the Shen clan, betrayed everyone, and killed them all in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Masteress and the Master fought at all costs, and both were on the verge of death. The Masteress did everything she could to send them away, but in the end, his wife could not escape in order to protect them. Only he and Feixue were sent away. That was the darkest time of his life. If it had not been for Feixue, he would have chosen to come back and die with his wife.
"I had to make a choice, and although it was difficult, I chose the family," Duan Qing said. Although his face was not good, his mind was still calm. The Master and the brothers were his family, and he felt guilty for their deaths. But if he did not do this, what about his family?
What about the Realm Palace?
They would all be destroyed.
"For the family?" Qi Xuangang smiled sarcastically. "Despicable people can always find reasons for their actions. What was the attitude of the Realm Emperor when he came to send me to Master for cultivation? What was the attitude of the Realm Emperor when he humbly said that Master was the symbol of Tianhe Realm? Despite our many years of friendship, you lied that we would get through this disaster together and accused the God Clan with righteous indignation. But secretly, you are the dogs of the God Clan. Is everything you have done really just to protect yourselves?"
"If that is the case, they could have openly drawn the line, severed the relationship, and stood on the side of the Shen clan. Would the Shen clan destroy the Realm Palace?" Qi Xuangang looked at Duan Qing and said, "Is this what you call a clear conscience?"
His voice rumbled through the air, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble.
A clear conscience? For the survival of the family?
What a high-sounding reason. It was because the Sky River Great Elder was too powerful and had become the uncrowned king of the Tianhe Realm. The Realm Palace wanted to use the power of the Shen clan to destroy the Sky River Great Elder and become the true king of the Tianhe Realm.
"Qi Xuangang." A deep voice came out, and the robe of the Realm Emperor fluttered. He stared at Qi Xuangang and said in a loud voice, "You interrogate others, but why don't you consider that all this is because of you?"
Qi Xuangang looked at the Realm Emperor of the Tianhe Realm and said in a deep voice, "I am guilty, so I am back."
Some things needed to be settled.
"Since you are back, come back with us to the Shen clan." In another direction, the divine light of Shen Yao of the Shen clan descended upon Qi Xuangang. Not only him, but the aura of the other cultivators of the Shen clan also fell upon Qi Xuangang, and they had already completely locked onto him.
Since Qi Xuangang had walked right into the trap, then he must be taken away today. Even if the Sky River Great Elder was involved, it would not do. The great figures of the Shen clan would personally come to take him away.
The moment Qi Xuangang appeared, everything was doomed, and no one could change it.
"Sure." Qi Xuangang looked at Shen Yao and said, "But before that, I want to settle this grudge between us with Duan Qing."
The people of the Shen clan looked at him. The reason why they did not act immediately was because the Sky River Great Elder was present, and they did not know his attitude yet.
"Master, I ask one last thing of you. The grudge between me and Duan Qing, if anyone tries to stop me, no matter who it is, kill me directly. Consider it as cleaning up the sect and killing an unfilial disciple," Qi Xuangang said to the Sky River Great Elder. Qi Xuangang said to the Sky River Great Elder. There was a determination in his voice that made the faces of the people of the Shen clan change.
Qi Xuangang did not ask the Sky River Great Elder to stop them, because he did not want his master to fight the Shen clan directly. He wanted the Sky River Great Elder to kill himself.
"Very well." The Sky River Great Elder nodded and agreed. A terrible might of the Way shrouded the vast world and fell directly upon Qi Xuangang. It was as if he would really kill Qi Xuangang.
This scene made the people of the Shen clan look surprised.
"Since he wants to fight, Duan Qing, you fight." Shen Yao looked at the people of the Realm Palace and said, "The people of the Realm Palace are not allowed to intervene."
He was giving Qi Xuangang a chance to settle this grudge by himself.
But no matter what the outcome was, Qi Xuangang's fate would not change. The Shen clan must take him away. There was no other ending.
"Very well." Duan Qing also nodded and took a step forward, saying, "After so many years, I also want to see how my junior brother's cultivation has progressed."
Above Qi Xuangang's body, the Deed of Thorough Comprehension bloomed in an instant. He stepped forward, and the void trembled violently. The divine light of the Great Path flowed and enveloped Qi Xuangang's body. In just an instant, his body turned into a divine furnace of the Great Path, refining the Way of heaven and earth.
"When big brother questioned you, did you ever feel a trace of regret?" As Qi Xuangang stepped forward, a voice came out, trembling between heaven and earth, resounding in Duan Qing's mind.
On Duan Qing's body, there was also a majestic might of Renhuang blooming. In an instant, his robe fluttered, and brilliant golden light shrouded his body. His majestic momentum was no less than Qi Xuangang's.
The people in the distance felt the power of these two Renhuang, and their hearts trembled. Some people could not bear the pressure and retreated, but the Sky River Great Elder and the cultivators of the Shen clan did not move and still stood there.
Ye Futian also stood there, standing behind the Sky River Great Elder, watching his master's battle.
He knew that this might be his master's last battle.
The endless brilliance of the Great Path fell down and fell on Qi Xuangang's body. The characters of Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li surrounded his body, and more and more. Between heaven and earth, there were ancient characters, shrouding the endless void and moving around the firmament. Countless characters also appeared around Duan Qing's body.
The five elements of heaven and earth, the Great Path of Heaven and Earth, and the endless surrounding characters seemed to have some kind of practice. They resonated with Qi Xuangang's body as the center, forming a huge pattern. The Map of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth was surrounded by countless characters. In Qi Xuangang's body, there seemed to be a similar pattern. It was the Divine Wheel of the Great Path, resonating with heaven and earth.
"My brothers died with hatred. When they looked at you, did you ever regret it?" Qi Xuangang asked again and continued to take a step forward. Under the operation of the Divine Wheel of the Great Path, different Might of the Way appeared in the Map of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth, containing a pressure that could destroy heaven and earth.
At this moment, Duan Qing actually felt a pressure, but he didn't care too much. His junior brother's talent was not top-notch, but his cultivation had its own way, and he was highly regarded by his master. Now, his Divine Wheel of the Great Path had even integrated the cultivation method of the Deed of Thorough Comprehension into it.
However, how could Duan Qing be weak?
The power of the Divine Wheel erupted, and a terrifying golden divine light swept across the sky and earth, competing with the Map of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth. A terrible sound of friction broke out, sharp and harsh, and the two forces seemed to have collided in the void.
Qi Xuangang asked him if he would regret it.
He did not regret it. Even though what he had done had wronged many people, he was not wrong.
After all, there was still a difference between the sect and the family. If everyone was an individual, the family was the whole. When he had to choose between the family and the sect, especially when the sect was in danger, he chose the best ending.
Seeing the look in Duan Qing's eyes, Qi Xuangang knew the answer.
Under the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, the Divine Furnace of the Great Path turned, and the divine light became even brighter. From between his brows, wisps of divine brilliance flowed toward the Divine Diagram of the Great Path between heaven and earth, merging into every ancient character. At this moment, he closed his eyes, and the countless characters seemed to contain the will of Qi Xuangang. The might was extremely terrifying, and it directly attacked Duan Qing.
Duan Qing's hands gathered, and his body suddenly became huge. Under the golden divine light, his body seemed to have turned into a statue of a god. In the face of Qi Xuangang's powerful attack, he temporarily adopted a defensive posture.
"Bang."
Qi Xuangang took another step and came directly above the head of the statue. He still had his eyes closed, but everything in the outside world was directly imprinted into his mind.
Qi Xuangang raised his head slightly. At this moment, his body seemed to be burning under the divine furnace, and his will was also burning. The ancient characters that surrounded the Map of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth once again disintegrated. Above the sky, countless characters of the Great Path appeared, truly endless, covering the sky.
At this time, Qi Xuangang was like a god. His hands formed a seal, and suddenly, the endless characters between heaven and earth came directly toward him, merging into his mind, into his body, and into the divine furnace.
Endless divine light fell, and at this moment, Qi Xuangang seemed to have absorbed an incredible power. His closed eyes were bleeding, and it was a shocking sight.
"Don't you regret it?"
Qi Xuangang murmured. The cultivators of the Shen Clan in the sky frowned, and one of them instantly bloomed with a powerful breath. Shen Yao also noticed that something was wrong and said, "Stop him."
However, at this moment, an unparalleled divine light descended, as if Qi Xuangang's spiritual soul had left his body. Along with the divine light of the Great Path, it descended directly in front of Duan Qing, like a god descending. With a finger, countless characters fell.
At this moment, Duan Qing's spiritual soul was pierced by countless divine lights of the Great Path. Again and again, it exploded wildly. His face showed a look of fear, and his face was pale.
"Now, do you regret it?" A voice came into Duan Qing's destroyed spiritual soul, and his face became terrifying. At this moment, he recalled his life, recalled every bit of his cultivation under the tutelage of the Sky River Great Elder, recalled those senior brothers, and their despair before they died.
Really, did he not regret it at all?
Boom!
The bright light fell, and Duan Qing's body trembled, then fell from the sky, his soul scattered.
