Chapter 1985
Having done all this, Chen Xuan raised his head, his eyes filled with grief and indignation. He first bowed to Jue Wuqing, Zi Chen, and other masters of the various holy lands in the void, performing the proper etiquette for a junior. Although his movements were neither humble nor arrogant, he could not hide the trembling of his body.
Then, he stretched out his slightly trembling arm, pointed to the warship of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and cried out to Jue Wuqing with a suppressed sob in his voice, "Heaven have mercy! Sect Master, you must do justice for your disciple!"
He knew very well that if he wanted to safely retrieve Lu Xueqi from a Celestial King, this act had to be convincing.
His disheveled appearance, trembling body, and heart-wrenching sobs immediately stirred the emotions of the crowd.
Given the obvious injuries on Chen Xuan's body, all the Holy Lords and God Kings subconsciously frowned and turned their gazes back to the Yao Guang Holy Lord, their eyes now filled with scrutiny.
"You have nothing to fear, just tell the truth!" Jue Wuqing looked at Chen Xuan's appearance, but a doubt arose in his heart - how decisive and straightforward this kid was back in the sect leader's hall, how come he is so... fragile today? But doubt aside, he still gave Chen Xuan support in a deep voice.
"Nephew Chen Xuan, what grievances do you have? Speak plainly," Zi Chen, the Divine Lord of the Purple Mansion, echoed, his voice resounding throughout the void.
“Everyone present is a lord of the Holy Land, with keen insight, and will not show any favoritism or unfairness because you are a junior.”
He had already learned the general outline of the matter from his elders. Not to mention that Chen Xuan had just killed the first holy son of Yao Guang, Chen Xuan had a grudge against Yao Guang, so he had to take the opportunity to support Chen Xuan. This was the long-standing feud between Zi Fu and Yao Guang, and it was also his position as the God Lord.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan seemed greatly encouraged, and his emotions became even more excited.
He abruptly raised his head, pointed in the direction of the Holy Land of Yao Guang, and roared in suppressed rage:
"What the Holy Land of Yaoguang did is simply outrageous! Lu Xueqi and I were betrothed and became Daoist partners three hundred years ago when we were still in the mortal world. Later, our hometown suffered a great calamity, and we had no choice but to protect our people and relocate them in batches to find a new home to live in."
His voice trembled with emotion, each word carrying a heavy weight of grievance:
"Unexpectedly, during the teleportation, my Daoist partner Lu Xueqi and my personal disciple got separated from me. As her Daoist partner and her disciple's master, I naturally left my hometown and wandered and trained in the boundless void while inquiring about their whereabouts."
"Later, I joined the Sacred Land of Heartless Love, thinking that I would never see Xueqi again in this life. But I never expected that I would actually meet my Daoist partner, whom I had been searching for for a hundred years, during this ranking battle!"
At this point, Chen Xuan's gaze drifted towards the warships of the Yao Guang Holy Land, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger:
"But I never expected that the sacred land of cultivation, which symbolizes the Great Dao in the hearts of cultivators and is longed for by countless cultivators, would do such a humiliating thing—my Daoist partner was actually cultivated by them as a 'saintess furnace,' and the beneficiary of this furnace is none other than the number one saint of Yao Guang, Xiao Xuanche!"
"How could I endure such humiliation? So I personally killed Xiao Xuanche on the arena! But the elders of Yao Guang immediately threatened me with death, forcing Xueqi and me to make a choice. Xueqi is strong-willed and would rather die by my hand than return to Yao Guang Holy Land and suffer the pain of slavery again!"
By the end, Chen Xuan's low growl had turned into a sob, his eyes red and brimming with tears.
"The Celestial King is indeed incredibly powerful! The moment the protective array of the Void Arena was removed, he forcibly took my Dao Companion away in front of everyone!"
Chen Xuan's account was based entirely on what the cultivators present had witnessed, and the various Holy Lords and God Kings had already confirmed this with their elders.
Although the practice of "Saintess Furnace" is an old system tacitly accepted by the major holy lands, very few people would be so blatant. If they take someone in as a disciple to be nurtured as a furnace, how can they let her leave the sect before the furnace is complete, or even appear in the ranking battle and be discovered by her Daoist partner?
This was clearly asking for trouble, no wonder Chen Xuan was desperate.
After hearing Chen Xuan's accusations, all the Immortal Kings and God Kings understood the situation.
The reactions to the "Saintess's Furnace" incident varied: some chose to remain silent, clearly accepting the rule; others frowned slightly, revealing disdain, obviously looking down on it.
The old woman from the Nine Netherworld Holy Land narrowed her eyes, her gaze lingering on Chen Xuan for a long time, seemingly plotting something.
The Purple Mansion God Lord and the Nine Turns Saint Lord made no attempt to hide their disdain, clearly finding Yao Guang's actions utterly contemptible.
The lords of the holy lands, such as Dao Yi, Tian Xuan, and Yao Chi, remained calm, as if they were already used to such disputes, and simply observed the changing situation quietly.
Jue Wuqing never expected that Chen Xuan, who had personally tested his strength and been designated as a Holy Son, would encounter such a distressing situation. He immediately looked at the entire room with anger in his eyes and said, "Everyone, now that our eight primordial spirit avatars have gathered again, I think there are some things we should discuss and decide together."
