Chapter 2353: 2353
The challenge startled everyone due to the numerical advantage on the other side . In short, Li Qiye was public enemy number one right now, so the appearance of his supporters seemed rather reckless .
A female daoist arrived with enough beauty to topple the world and a transcending temperament .
“Longevity Sage . ” Someone muttered under the breath after recognizing her .
The leader and representative of Longevity Valley; no one would dare to question the gravity behind her words .
Mu Shaochen glanced at her with a peculiar flash in his eyes: “Daoist Sage, your fame precedes you . ”
“Young Lord Mu, likewise . ” Longevity Sage floated in the air with her wondrous aura like a flower only beneath the heaven .
The crowd became excited . Everyone knew that the young lord must eliminate Li Qiye while the sage was here to protect him . Her action was inciting both his wrath and the animosity of Myriad Lineage .
“Sage, I’m afraid you are being fooled by that villain . ” The young lord revealed a graceful smile: “Li Qiye faked his identity to earn your trust and the role of First Disciple . He clearly had ulterior motives, wishing to destroy your system, for he is a wretch with no crime too heinous . ”
“I know he is from Insane Court, its current leader, but so what, he is still my direct disciple . Anyone who dares to touch him will become our enemy!” She declared .
The crowd didn’t expect her strong response, or why Longevity System was willing to help Li Qiye .
She just needed to refute his role as their First Disciple right now . Others would understand and sympathize with her choice . However, she chose the path of war .
Mu Shaochen narrowed his eyes: “Sage, don’t be unreasonable . Li Qiye murdered the innocent and deserves death . If you continue to protect him, that would be going against the will of the heaven, dragging your own system towards eternal damnation . ”
The sage smiled so beautifully, even making the young lord look twice . She retorted: “The will of the heaven? Who is it to decide? You? Whoever you accuse of being a villain is one?”
“No, this is the unanimous belief of the people . ” Mu Shaochen said: “It is clear as day how he had massacred members of three great systems . Thus, ridding the world of him is in accordance with the worldly flow and the will of its inhabitants . ”
“Really?”
“Because of this, please reconsider . ” Mu Shaochen continued: “Opposing the world will not end well . If you continue to be stubborn, many disciples from your system will die as a result, and for what? They will lose their home and families, even you won’t…”
“Is this a threat?” She interrupted him as her gaze turned cold .
“No, you misunderstood . ” He smiled: “I am simply letting you know the consequence . An outsider I may be, I also consider Myriad to be my home, wanting nothing more than peace for all . Alas, this villain named Li Qiye is merciless and cruel, so I have no choice but to rise, offering all of my abilities to sweep away the evil in order to restore orders . ”
“It is indeed the time to restore orders to Myriad . ” A clear and pleasant voice continued the conversation, albeit with a hint of hostility .
Everyone looked over and saw another female daoist arriving . She looked like a lotus flower in a valley; her noble aura overwhelmed the heart of the spectators .
“Yang Radiance Untethered! She’s here too!” Someone shouted .
Her addition only intensified the crowd’s anticipation .
Yang Radiance, the greatest and strongest system of Myriad . The arrival of its leader was a big deal .
The sage and the untethered were present now . People glanced at each other, thinking that it was no coincidence . They wanted to know her stance on this issue .
Though many systems, including Vermillion Martial Court, have turned against Li Qiye, Yang Radiance has yet to make a decision . The choice of this system was crucial . Though it didn’t rule Myriad, many systems were willing to follow its orders .
“Untethered . ” Mu Shaochen was visibly pleased to see her and cupped his fist: “Your comment just now resonates with my heart . Thank you for your concern with the wellbeing of Myriad . No wonder why Yang Radiance is the greatest system here . I’m lost in admiration . ”
A few ancestors pondered . After all, not all systems were on the young lord’s side . He was riding the momentum, seemingly on the verge of being in charge of Myriad . This was not something they wanted to see .
If Yang Radiance were to stand with the young lord, then that would settle the political climate of Myriad . No one would dare to oppose them . At that point, their words would become the truth .
“You’re too kind . ” The untethered answered: “Myriad and Insane Court had an agreement recognized by numerous other systems . Thus, whether Li Qiye is a heretic or not requires further deliberation . According to the agreement, if Li Qiye does cultivate the blood-sucking art, then he should indeed be persecuted by all . But if this isn’t the case, then Insane Court is still an official system, not a heretical faction . As for his recent massacre, it would be considered a personal feud . Before the agreement is violated and voided, we must follow the clauses! Otherwise, it would be going against the orders of Myriad . If the signers can’t keep their words, chaos would ensue!” She looked at everyone after this grand speech .
Mu Shaochen’s expression darkened despite maintaining his friendly smile: “Untethered, it is admirable that you stay true to your words, but I’m afraid that villain won’t care . Even if he had cultivated the blood art, why would he report this to you? During his previous fights, he had shown everyone some terrifying evil arts . ”
“Li Qiye needs to explain himself clearly . ” She replied: “Before that, we need to carry out the prior agreement instead of condemning him for personal vendetta, potentially falsifying his reputation . Because of this, I invite Li Qiye to Myriad Peaks to prove his innocence, along with everyone else for his trial . If everyone agrees, my Yang Radiance System is willing to preside over this matter . ”
This made a certain few heaves a sigh of relief . They thought that she was here to support the young lord in the beginning, but this didn’t seem to be the case right now .
“I’m afraid that Li guy won’t come to a trial like that . ” Mu Shaochen said .
“We can’t be so arbitrary . ” The untethered said: “We’ll find the right solution . If Li Qiye is indeed a villain, then Yang Radiance will assist Myriad in ending him!”
“We finally have a voice of reason here . ” The sage clapped and heartily smiled at her peer: “Looks like you’re quite sagacious . ”
