Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 974: Exposing Your True Colors


Among the ranks of the Luo family, the person leading the pack, surrounded and esteemed by all, was an elderly man who appeared to be in his fifties. With a clean-shaven, scholarly face, and slightly narrow, sparkling eyes, he looked at the young man clad in black opposite him, "Demon Lord, the person our Luo family is searching for is Chu Mo. What do you mean by bringing people here to block our way?"

"I don't like the look of you," the Demon Lord said indifferently.

"..." The elder felt an urge to vomit blood out of anger, glaring at the Demon Lord: "Demon Lord, don't be ungrateful. When the entire Immortal Realm was hunting you down, our Luo family didn't kick you when you were down!"

"Is that so?" the Demon Lord said calmly: "Isn't Luo Xiaochuan from your Luo family? Isn't Luo Xiaoming from your Luo family?"

The elder's face suddenly changed, and looking at the Demon Lord, his aura surged in an instant as he said sternly, "Luo Xiaochuan and Luo Xiaoming... did you kill them?"

Die, who was at the Demon Lord's side, slowly stepped forward, "Luo Wucheng, as the head of a family, what's the point of lying? Your Luo family has always maintained a low profile in public in the Immortal Realm, but how many cruel and unjust deeds you've done in secret, do you think everyone in the Immortal Realm is blind? Deaf? Stupid? Unable to see, hear, or guess what's happening?"

"Fu Xiaodie..." the elder coldly scolded.

"Sorry, my name isn't Fu Xiaodie, it's Demon Xiaodie!" Die interrupted the elder coldly: "Back then, Luo Xiaochuan and Luo Xiaoming confessed personally that it was you who sent them to assassinate my husband! Now, in front of everyone, you dare not admit it?"

"You're slandering me!" Luo Wucheng said angrily.

"Firstly, you'd have to be a person for that to be true," Die replied coolly and clearly, her voice was crisp and pleasant, "Would you like me to recount all those cruel and unjust things your Luo family has done over the years?"

"Fu Xiaodie, you're being completely unreasonable!" Luo Wucheng was severely irritated. After all, there were some ties between the Luo family and the Fu Family. Luo Wucheng had visited the Fu Family when Die was very young and had even held her once. But now, things were no longer the same.

The Luo family had publicly revealed their true foundation—a collateral branch of the Luo family of the Heavenly Realm.

And Die... had transformed from Fu Xiaodie into Demon Xiaodie, now standing on opposite sides.

"I'm not being unreasonable; I'm just enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens, hmm, just like what you have been doing!" Demon Xiaodie said very straightforwardly: "Let's start with the most outrageous thing your Luo family has done."

Without waiting for Luo Wucheng or any of the Luo family members to react, she continued: "Let's not talk about the distant past. There are too many of your Luo family's evil deeds to count, like searching for a needle in a haystack. Let's talk about something within the last hundred years. Seventy-three years ago, there was a vassal family affiliated with your Luo family, with the surname Sheng, and the head of that family was Sheng Yonghui. I presume the people of your Luo family haven't forgotten this name, have they?"

At this moment, cultivators from all directions continued to arrive.

These cultivators were all prominent figures in the Immortal Realm. This great battle has now thoroughly engaged the hearts of all the big shots in the entire Immortal Realm. Although it seemed to be a movement against two generations of demon monarchs, it actually contained the profound implication of rewriting the entire power structure of the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, any figure of consequence or those more sensitive to changes were closely following the battle's progression.

Not many knew of the master-disciple relationship between the Demon Lord and Chu Mo. For some reason, it was not spread. Thus, many were puzzled by the Demon Lord's sudden involvement, interpreting it as an act of vengeance!

Vengeance for the hunt he suffered at the hands of the entire Immortal Realm in the past!

Luo Wucheng's face grew uglier by the moment, and he desperately wanted to stop Demon Xiaodie's words, but as the crowd around them grew, resisting would only seem like a sign of his own guilt.

While he was torn, Demon Xiaodie continued without hesitation, "Sheng Yonghui was actually a very capable and decent person. I believe that the many esteemed individuals present have heard of this name."

Someone in the distance spoke in a hushed tone: "Of course we've heard of him, the man who cultivated to the Ascension stage before the age of one hundred fifty and married the woman once known as the most beautiful female cultivator in the Immortal Realm, the envy of many!"

"Indeed, this friend here clearly knows the whole story," Die said softly, "One would think that a cultivator with the backing of a great family like the Luo's would be able to climb higher and go farther! But who would have thought that his disaster... would begin the moment he married the woman once famed as the first beauty of the Immortal Realm!"

As Die spoke, she suddenly pointed at the grim-faced Luo Wucheng, "Patriarch Luo, please explain why the former first beauty of the Immortal Realm is in your house? Why has she become your woman?"

"What? Is this true?"

"Such a thing actually happened?"

"What does this mean? Is it that Patriarch Luo stole Sheng Yonghui's wife?"

"Ha, this is getting interesting. To snatch away the wife of someone from your own vassal family... Can you really stoop so low?"

"But that's the first beauty of the Immortal Realm..."

"Even if she were the first beauty of the Heavenly Realm, this still wouldn't be right!"

"Exactly, is this something a human being would do?"

The people around immediately started discussing animatedly, their expressions varied.

"You—you're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!" Luo Wucheng's face turned ashen with rage, and he furiously retorted, "Fu Xiaodie... if it weren't for the old ties between your father and me..."

"Don't try to sound so righteous and dignified," Die cut off Luo Wucheng once more, then turned towards the shocked people around and spoke indifferently, "We never engage in baseless accusations. Patriarch Luo... let me show you now that there is justice in this world! If you've done something wrong, just hide in your home and don't come out. Don't swagger about looking so pleased with yourself. Upholding justice on behalf of the heavens? What are you even? Do you think you're qualified to say such a thing?"

While she spoke, Die extended her hand and brushed it gently through the void.

Water Mirror Technique!

The cultivators present immediately recognized the divine ability displayed by Die.

Then, a vast scene appeared in the void, and the first image that entered everyone's eyes was that of a ragged man, looking like a beggar.

Someone with a keen eye immediately recognized the man in the scene and couldn't help exclaiming, "Sheng Yonghui? My god... Is this man really that once-celebrated heavenly genius of the Sheng family?"

"It's really Sheng Yonghui... How did he fall to such a state?"

"I heard that the Sheng family was ambushed by an enemy clan overnight, and in one fell swoop, the whole family was destroyed. The Sheng family's heavenly genius, Sheng Yonghui, disappeared since then. To think... he has actually become a beggar, this... this is unbelievable!"

Those who had ever heard of Sheng Yonghui were shocked at how the once-celebrated heavenly genius of the Immortal Realm could fall to such a low state. Especially those who had interacted with Sheng Yonghui before found it even harder to believe that this was true.

"Old bastard Luo Wucheng, you never expected... that Sheng here would still be alive, did you? Heh, do you think that with my temperament, having encountered such a calamity, I would have long since died of shame?" the unkempt beggar in the image said, with a pair of eyes that were incredibly bright, fixating on Luo Wucheng.

In that moment, the gazes of the people around all simultaneously turned toward Luo Wucheng.
