Chapter 70: The Devil in My Heart
Long Tao was silent, but a handsome young man from the Demonic Path stood up. It was Xiao bowed towards Lu Li and said:
"Mr. Lu! I have some ideas I want to share!"
Lu Li looked at him and nodded:
"So it's Xiao Buyi, please speak freely."
Xiao Buyi looked towards the righteous side and said coldly:
"You said earlier that one of your disciples turned to evil after reading The Legend of the Great Love Immortal, right?"
"Haha, this is ridiculous! It's so ridiculous!"
"I'll tell you!"
"The most important factor that influences a person's entry into the path of magic is always himself!"
Zhan Gu's eyes flashed at the door, and he looked at Xiao Buyi thoughtfully.
Xiao Buyi continued:
"Because I am the best example. I defected from the righteous path to the evil path!"
Someone in the righteous path said disdainfully:
"Why are you so proud, you traitor?"
Xiao Buyi grinned and said:
"I just want to be arrogant, I just want to be rampant, and I also want to say that sooner or later I will destroy my original sect!"
"And this result is all my own choice! I will openly admit that I have a devil's heart, and I just can't be a gentleman!"
"But I want to say that if my master had stuck to his promise, and if the fellow apprentices around me were willing to support me, I really could have changed!"
"Why did Master give up training me to become the Sect Master just because he realized that I had an evil heart? It's simply because someone more suitable than me has appeared!"
"When it comes to interests, there is no difference between the righteous and evil paths! If you encounter an unfavorable choice, you will abandon it without hesitation!"
Xiao Buyi's words made all the righteous people look serious, and Long Tao stared at Xiao Buyi straight.
One was a powerful man at the Enlightenment Realm, and the other was at the Life and Death Realm, but Xiao Buyi did not retreat at all.
He then said loudly:
"Just like Gu Yue's generation, he was originally a real villain, but he had been hiding it before!"
"But if his master had shown him a little more care and love, given him more resources, or if he had exploited and squeezed him a little less, wouldn't the result be different?"
"If those so-called disciples of yours truly harbor evil hearts, then even if they don't read The Legend of the Great Love Immortal, they will probably be possessed by the devil sooner or later!"
"You don't put the problem on yourselves, but put it on a storybook that just appeared in the past few days? Hmm? Does this book really have such a strong power of bewitching?"
"Or is it that you have been exploiting and squeezing them all along?"
The whole place was in an uproar!
Xiao Buyi's words resonated with many people in the magic world, especially Zhan Gu.
He looked lost and said with a smile:
"I see. That's why I was wondering."
"I made the decision to become a demon myself, and I should admit it."
"Because it's no big deal if I admit it. Since I'm already possessed, I'll just keep going. This way, every time I kill someone, I can find excuses for myself and say that I was forced to do it, hahaha!"
"Yes! I was bullied and oppressed, but I always had a choice! I didn't want to live a cowardly life, I wanted to live a good life!"
"But this still can't stop me from hating those who bully me, and this damn world!" Two auras emerged in the teahouse. Lu Li exclaimed, "Hmm?"
"I see. Then I'll grant you two a place!"
With a wave of his hand, he untied some of the restraints on Xiao Buyi and Zhan Gu.
With a bang, Xiao Buyi and Zhan Gu broke through at the same time!
Xiao Buyi was thus called a cultivator in the realm of asking for the way, and Zhan Gu also reached the third level of the realm of asking for the way!
The people of the righteous path were shocked. Although they had heard that someone had attained enlightenment on the spot here with Lu Li, they had not seen it with their own eyes, so they still couldn't believe it.
Many people in the demonic world also showed envy, and the eyes they looked at Lu Li were full of admiration!
Xiao Buyi and Zhan Gu knelt down on one knee and said to Lu Li:
"Thank you sir for your help!"
Lu Li said calmly:
"It's okay. It's a coincidence that I mentioned you two together that day, and you both broke through together today. It can be considered fate."
Long Tao watched all this and became even more wary of Lu Li!
"This person is so scary. I must tell Mr. Wanshi about this matter. But... I don't know if Lu Li will let me go after this!"
Lu Li looked at Long Tao again at this moment and said:
"You said before that many famous righteous sects purged their disciples because they were almost possessed by demons, right?"
Long Tao nodded doubtfully, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"That's right. With so many disciples possessed by demons, how could they all have demon hearts? What Xiao Buyi said is just his own opinion!"
Xiao Buyi snorted coldly and was about to say something, but was stopped by Lu Li with a wave of his hand.
The corners of his mouth curled up and a faint smile appeared on his face. When Long Tao saw this scene, he suddenly had the thought that something bad was going to happen!
But the next person to speak was not Lu Li, but Su Mowen.
"I have something to say about this matter."
"It's such a coincidence that I met an old man and a young boy on my way to listen to Mr. Lu's storytelling."
"This old man is an elder of the famous Huayu Sect, and the young man is an outer disciple of the Huayu Sect, named Zhou Zizai!"
"Zhou Zizai has a simple mind and is a hot-blooded young man. From my point of view, he is not a seed of the devil, but a seed of the righteous path!"
"But such a young man was beaten to death by his sect, his hard-earned cultivation was wasted, and he was thrown out of the mountain gate to die!"
"Just because his sect discovered that he had read The Legend of the Great Love Immortal, they defined him as a demon!"
"The old man and the young boy are outside. I can call them in for a confrontation right now!"
"I would like to ask everyone in the righteous way, are you really doing this purge to find out which of your disciples are possessed by demons? Or is this just a show?"
"It was because of responding to that damn righteous leader, Mr. Wanshi, that so many disciples were expelled from the sect and even lost their lives!"
"What's the difference between your actions and the devil's way? Answer me!"
As Su Mowen finished speaking, his voice became increasingly angry, and he slammed the table in front of him so hard that even the six sect leaders of the Daliang Orthodox Sect beside him were startled.
Su Huanzhen, who was standing on the second floor, smiled secretly. She knew that there must be other reasons why her father came so suddenly today.
Sure enough, this old man who is both good and evil is still as innocent and passionate as before, and does whatever he wants.
"Answer me! Are you dumb?"
Su Mowen was extremely angry. Although his cultivation was sealed, he burst out with an unknown aura, which frightened Long Tao, who was one level higher than him, and made him take a step back!
