Overriding the Heaven

Chu Yan naturally began from the moment Ji Kuang Shen killed Jiang Chengxin with his fist.    

Chu Yan narrated the entire process in detail.    

Even if one did not ask Chu Yan about this experience, the others who returned would be able to obtain an answer to their questions, so there was absolutely no need for them to lie at all.    

Furthermore, Chu Yan didn't have anything special to hide.    

However, at the very end, the words that Ji Kuang Shen had said to him before his death had too much of a relationship with him, so Chu Yan naturally hid it away.    

In any case, at that time, the others were also unconscious, and as long as Chu Yan did not say anything, no one else would know about it.    

After Chu Yan finished speaking, he waited quietly for the decision of the Masters present.    

"God Ji Kuang —" Ouyang Hui carefully mulled over this name with a meaningful tone.    

"Senior-apprentice Brother Ouyang, do you know this person?" Lv Lei asked curiously.    

As the only female present, Lv Lei naturally possessed some privileges.    

Hearing her question, Ouyang Hui nodded: "In terms of identity, he is a remnant of the Thousand God Island."    

"Remnant of the Thousand God Island?" Lv Lei blinked her eyes.    

Being also a sect of the North Cloud, Lv Lei had heard of some things regarding the Blue Feather Sect.    

At this moment, just recalling it reminded him of something that happened many years ago.    

"Does Senior Brother Ouyang mean that he was the one who escaped the Thousand God Island when Blue Feather Sect turned over the sea cultivators?" Lv Lei asked.    

"That's right." Ouyang Hui said.    

Seeing that the surrounding people had puzzled expressions, he told them about how the scattered cultivators of the Thousand God Island and the surrounding sea had plundered the travelling ships and cultivators. He also told them about how the Blue Feather Sect had killed them.    

"So that's how it is." When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads.    

Chu Yan also did not display any reaction just because he heard a completely different version from Ji Kuang's. Even his emotions did not fluctuate.    

The reason was simple, Chu Yan was not someone who would be easily tricked by others.    

Regardless of whether it was the version that Ji Kuang Shen talked about before, or the one that Ouyang Hui was talking about now, both could only be described as one-sided.    

The truth behind it was unknown at this time, so Chu Yan would naturally not trust any of them.    

Furthermore, as a secular prince, Chu Yan deeply understood that although cultivators were different from mortals, "political struggles" existed in every place that people lived in.    

Regardless of whether or not these people held the same status or not, the so-called "truth" would always serve them in a way that was advantageous to them.    

"I will personally tell everyone about this matter to the ones in charge of controlling this island, as well as that Junior Brother Ji in charge of annihilating the entire Thousand God Island. Please rest assured." Ouyang Hui said to the lot, "It was just a small matter back then, but I didn't expect it to almost affect the selection of General Election of the Orthodoxy.    

Everyone discussed for a while, but because Chu Yan was quiet, no one spoke for him.    

Unless it was when one needed to know some of the details of this matter, there would be someone who would specially question Chu Yan.    

Slowly, Chu Yan became confused.    

However, he hid this confusion in his heart and didn't say it out loud.    

Not long after, there were no longer matters relating to Chu Yan at the scene, and Chu Yan was still the one who escorted him back.    

When they went back, Lian Yongzhi did not bring Chu Yan along with him. Instead, he walked all the way out of the room.    

After walking far away, Lian Yongzhi suddenly spoke: "Chu Yan, do you have some questions?"    

Just as he was about to shake his head, Lian Yongzhi opened his mouth and said: "There are no outsiders here, if there are any questions I can answer, I can naturally answer them for you. Don't forget, you are now the great contributor to the Shattered Star Pavilion."    

Raising his head, Chu Yan saw Lian Yongzhi smiling and nodding to him.    

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yan said, "Incorruptible Elder, when I was there earlier, I had a feeling."    

"How do you feel?" Lian Yongzhi asked curiously.    

"I think —" Chu Yan used his words carefully, "This time, General Election of the Orthodoxy invasion, logically speaking, should be considered a major event, not to mention that the three sects have also lost a lot of outer sect elites, especially the Beast King Pavilion and the Profound Moon Sect. Of the nine people who entered, only one child is left, and all of them are heavily injured.    

However, from the attitude of the elders just now, I felt that they didn't seem to care about this.    

Are they not afraid of the cold hearts of the sect disciples? "    

After Chu Yan finished, he looked at Lian Yongzhi, waiting for his reply.    

Lian Yongzhi was startled.    

Initially, he had thought that Yue Yang would curiously ask this question because he wanted to know more about the sect elders. He had also heard some interesting information or had some doubts regarding cultivation.    

As a junior that he had his eyes on, Lian Yongzhi did not give him a perfunctory response. Instead, he stood in place, frowning and carefully thought about it.    

Chu Yan stood quietly at the side, waiting for the answer he wanted.    

Not long after, Lian Yongzhi opened his mouth.    

The first thing he said was not to answer, but to ask a question.    

"Chu Yan, how long have you been on the Immortal Path?"    

"If you go back to the Incorruptible Elder, this year will be the third year." Chu Yan replied.    

"The third year of this year, that means it hasn't even been three years." Lian Yongzhi muttered, and then looked at Chu Yan. "You aren't from a cultivation clan, are you?"    

"Yes." "Before this disciple came to the Shattered Star Pavilion, he had been living in the state. He didn't even know anything about cultivators or Pulse Condensation Stage."    

"Then it's no wonder." Lian Yongzhi laughed, "Chu Yan, I understand the doubt in your heart, you came from the mortal world, so your heart and body naturally carry the smell of fireworks. Perhaps it is because of your living environment, you think that the elders just now did not care about the disciples in the sect at all, and were even cold-blooded, correct?"    

As a junior, naturally, he could not discuss a senior's mistake. Chu Yan laughed: "I just feel that it's a little strange."    

"It's not that they don't care about those disciples, on the contrary, all the disciples that can safely return this time will receive great rewards that they cannot imagine. The disciples of our Shattered Star Pavilion, including you, will also be no exception."    

Lian Yongzhi paused for a moment before continuing, "The Immortal Path is hard to walk on. There is only competition, Chu Yan, you should know this. Since cultivation resources were limited, the sects were more concerned about what was left after the great waves and the sand, rather than about what was left after the great waves and sand.    

It's just as I've said, from this moment onwards, the returning disciples of the three sects will become the targets of the true focus of the sects, until the arrival of the next great wave of sand-searching.    

As for my second point, and most importantly, it is the cultivator's own heart. "    

"A cultivator's own heart?" Chu Yan looked at Lian Yongzhi doubtfully.
