Chapter 336 Paranoia
Chapter 336 Paranoia
Abbot Huihai frowned slightly, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Ye, I am not making groundless guesses. Everything in the world has cause and effect. Your appearance is accompanied by many strange phenomena, which is an ominous sign. People like me who practice cultivation must think of the people of the world and must not take it lightly."
Abbot Huihai's eyes revealed an almost stubborn paranoia.
In his understanding, any phenomenon beyond the norm may bring disaster, and Ye An's appearance undoubtedly touched upon his deep inner anxiety.
He recalled the unusual phenomenon in heaven and earth when Ye An appeared, as if foreshadowing the coming of a huge storm.
These scenes continued to magnify in Abbot Huihai's mind, making him firmly believe that Ye An was the "disaster star" that might bring disaster to the world. Moreover, with Dao Wuchen's ability to plan everything out, he was 100% sure that Ye An was the one.
"Master Ye, please don't blame me for being cruel. I have practiced for many years and have seen countless changes. I dare not underestimate these abnormal phenomena. Your existence is like an unknown hidden danger that may trigger an irreversible disaster at any time."
Abbot Huihai's tone was full of determination, as if he had already seen the terrible consequences brought about by Ye An.
"I cannot ignore the lives of the people of this world just because of a momentary weakness. Even if there is only a slight possibility, I must nip the danger in the bud."
Ye An's eyes widened with anger, and he loudly retorted: "Vision? What is a vision? Can you convict someone just because of some inexplicable phenomena? Is your so-called practice to judge others based on subjective assumptions?"
At this time, the people around began to whisper. Some people felt that Ye An's words made sense and that they should not judge him as a disaster star based on speculation alone; others believed that the judgments of the elders such as Abbot Huihai must have their reasons and should not be easily questioned.
Mo Qingcheng stood behind Ye An, and there was anger in her indifferent eyes.
She was about to say something, but Ye An stopped her with a look.
Ye An knew that he had to face this matter himself.
Ye An took a deep breath and continued, "Although I, Ye An, do not act in an upright manner, I have never intended to harm anyone. If you really care about the lives of the people in the world, you should give me an explanation instead of convicting me based on your own assumptions."
Dao Wuchen slowly said at this time: "Friend Ye, this matter is of great importance, we have to treat it with caution. If you are really innocent, the truth will come out one day."
Ye An sneered: "What a day for the truth to come out. You are here to label me a disaster star today, but what if you can't find the so-called evidence in the future? Have you ever thought about what consequences this will bring to me?"
The atmosphere in the field became increasingly tense, and everyone was waiting for the outcome of this confrontation.
The debate between Ye An and Abbot Huihai, Dao Wuchen and others also made people begin to re-examine the definition of the so-called "disaster star" and the behavioral code of the righteous path.
Abbot Huihai was not moved by Ye An's words at all. His face was stern, and he spoke again: "Ye An, I have made up my mind. No matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the ominous sign you brought. Today, you must give me an explanation, otherwise I will never give up."
Ye An was furious. He took a step forward, and a powerful aura instantly emanated from him: "Explanation? What explanation can I give? You are forcing me to submit based on some groundless speculations. This is simply too much."
At this time, the surrounding crowd was shocked by the conflict between the two and retreated one after another, fearing that they would be caught up in the storm.
The disciples of the three holy places also looked nervous; they didn't know how this conflict would end.
Mo Qingcheng was already on the verge of a rage, her beautiful face was as cold as ice and as beautiful as a jade sculpture.
When she had heard the whole story, there was still no emotion on her face, but her eyes seemed to hide countless sharp blades, emitting a murderous cold light that made people afraid, as if the air around her was instantly frozen into ice under this terrifying gaze.
Just when Mo Qingcheng was about to erupt like a volcano, a brilliant light flashed by, and the nine-tailed fox appeared in front of her in an instant like a ghost.
The nine-tailed fox's lively eyes were fixed on Mo Qingcheng's cold and beautiful face. For a moment, it curled its lips unconsciously, as if it was stunned by the beauty of the person in front of it.
Mo Qingcheng's face was frosty as she stared coldly at the nine-tailed fox that suddenly appeared in front of her, her lips tightly closed, not saying a word.
Just the powerful aura emanating from her at this moment spread out in all directions like a surging tide.
The nine-tailed fox only felt an invisible pressure coming towards it, which made it stand there in a daze for a moment. Its body seemed to be imprisoned, and even breathing became extremely difficult. The air around it seemed to become heavy and depressing because of this powerful aura.
"You... wait a minute, Ye An asked me to come." The nine-tailed fox waved her hands hurriedly at Mo Qingcheng, traces of cold sweat instantly slid down her forehead, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.
At this moment, the nine-tailed fox felt strongly that if he did not explain himself quickly, he would be ruthlessly killed by Mo Qingcheng in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the nine-tailed fox cursed in his heart: "Ye An, you bastard, how terrifying is your wife? With such a terrifying momentum, you still want me to stop her?"
There is also a huge gap between the nine levels of tribulation. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Mo Qingcheng is only at the first level of tribulation, he is much more powerful than an ordinary ninth level tribulation expert.
All of this stems from the path that Mo Qingcheng has embarked on—the path of killing.
It was a road full of blood and cruelty. The aura emanating from Mo Qingcheng was as if he was a god of death walking out of an endless battlefield, which was terrifying.
She stood there quietly, and the air around her seemed to be stained with blood, as if with just a thought from her, this world could fall into endless slaughter.
"Speak!" Mo Qingcheng spat out a word coldly. The voice seemed to come from an extremely cold place, carrying a bone-chilling chill.
The nine-tailed fox dared not show any provocation in front of this person, and quickly told Mo Qingcheng Ye An's plan in detail.
Mo Qingcheng just stood there quietly, like an ice sculpture, listening to the nine-tailed fox's story without moving.
Her eyes were still cold, without a ripple, as if nothing in the world could cause a change in her emotions.
Behind her, Ye An was facing everyone, his figure looking particularly resolute under the sunlight.
The wind blew gently, lifting Mo Qingcheng's hair. Her cold and beautiful face looked even more aloof in the wind, as if she was out of tune with this world, yet people could not ignore her existence.
"What if I don't want to...?"
