Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1142 Condemnation (2)

The crowds went silent immediately upon hearing Yun Lintian's question.

"As you can see, they don't really care about your life at all. What they seek is a benefit. It is the only thing that can make them move." Yun Lintian said further.

He pointed at Lei Yubai, Xing Yongnian, and Du Xiaotian. "If you have a bit of knowledge, you will know how much they want to swallow the Northern Continent and make it their training grounds. They couldn't wait for the Poison Valley to successfully occupy the place and launch a war in disguise of doing for humanity's sake afterward."

A mocking smile appeared on his face as he continued. "But do you think they will send their people to the frontline? If you think so, it means you are very naïve... It will be all of you here… All of you will be served as a cannon fodder."

The second-rate forces in the crowds began to discuss in a low voice. Even a fool could see that Yun Lintian's words were likely true. When it came to war, they would certainly be sent to the frontline while these people from the palaces sat far away from the battle.

"What nonsense you are talking about!?" Du Huanfeng shouted angrily. "I see. You are really a spy sent by the Poison Valley… Everyone, don't be fooled by him!"

Du Huanfeng quickly said further. "Everyone, my father has been helping people all his life. Do you really think he's a benefit-seeking person, as Yun Lintian said?"

Everyone went silent, and many of them had a look of uncertainty on their faces. They didn't know which one was true right now.

"I think Young Master Du is right. How could Palace Master Du be someone like he said?" A middle-aged man in the crowds suddenly said. "Palace Master Du had saved my father's life without asking for a penny. Such a benevolent person was actually mistaken as a benefit-seeking person? This is absurd!"

"That's right! Palace Master Du had also saved my family's life."

"Yes! Why are you slandering him?"

One after another. People who had received Du Xiaotian's kindness spoke out, causing the crowds to look at Yun Lintian in doubt. Compared to Du Xiaotian, whose reputation was as high as the sky, Yun Lintian was an unknown person to them. It was normal for them to believe the former more than the latter.

A grin appeared on Du Huanfeng's face when he saw this scene. He glanced at Yun Lintian provocatively.

"A benevolent person? Do you really think he's a saint?" Yun Lintian chuckled mockingly.

? He turned to Du Xiaotian and asked. "Do you remember the old-alchemy clan, Ling Clan?"

A strange light flashed through Du Xiaotian's eyes upon hearing this. He calmly responded. "I naturally know them. Our Myriad Pill Palace has been wanting them to join us. Unfortunately, they met a calamity first."

"A calamity?" Yun Lintian laughed angrily. He pointed at Yun Chenyu beside him and asked. "Do you know who she is?"

Du Xiaotian and the others looked at her in doubt.

"Tell them." Yun Lintian encouraged his disciple.

Yun Chenyu took a deep breath and stood up. She looked at Du Xiaotian with deep hatred as she said solemnly. "My name is Ling Yu'er. I am a descendant of the Ling Clan."

"All of you might not believe me. However, I can prove it to you… My Ling Clan is well known for a unique flame that passes down through a bloodline called 'Wormwood Flame.'"

She raised her hand gently as she spoke, and a light green flame immediately lit up above her palm. It was a flame that gave off a soothing and warm feeling.

Without a doubt, this kind of flame was impossible to imitate.

Seeing this, those who knew the Ling Clan immediately believed in Yun Chenyu's identity.

Meanwhile, Du Xiaotian and the elders behind him stared at her gloomily. Because of this unique bloodline, they wanted to swallow the Ling Clan. Who would have thought that their descendant was still alive out there?

Yun Chenyu said further. "One day, an envoy of the Myriad Pill Palace came to my clan with the intention of recruiting us. However, they also put a condition that we would be forbidden from treating ordinary people after joining them."

"Because of this condition, my grandpa refused them on the spot, which caused anger in them and led to the demise of my clan."

She glared at Du Xiaotian with hatred and bellowed at the top of her lungs. "You killed my family! I want you to repay it!"

Yun Lintian immediately patted her back and injected wood energy into her body to soothe her mood.

He then turned to look at Du Xiaotian and asked. "You can deny as you want or blame one of your subordinates, but the fact that you have destroyed the Ling Clan just because they didn't want to join you will never change."

He paused for a moment and let out a chuckle. "Of course, if you think everyone here is a fool, you can ask for evidence and quibble about it as much as you want… Come on. I want to see how you dance."

Du Xiaotian's face darkened for the first time. This Yun Lintian simply blocked every path for him to deny it.

"Nonsense! You are flaming us!" Du Huanfeng shouted angrily.

Yun Lintian merely glanced at him as if he looked at a clown and paid no further attention.

Seeing Du Xiaotian remaining silent, the crowds immediately understood that it was likely to be true. Those who had spoken out for him earlier went silent right away. They had just told everyone how kind and benevolent Du Xiaotian was, and now this. Wouldn't they be a joke?

At this moment, Qing Xiaoting suddenly spoke. "Du Xiaotian. Do you really believe in yourself that you are benevolent, as they said?… I don't deny that you have helped many people during these years, but dare you to admit it is just for an experiment?"

"Or do you want me to show everyone here how many people you have abducted and make them drug-testing rats during these years?… Trust me, I have a lot of evidence in my hand."

Qing Xiaoting's words were like a final nail in the coffin, making Du Xiaotian unable to refute…
