Chapter 1002 The Dilemma of Yingtian's Observers
On the ancestor worship day, the image of the nine one-eyed men of the Yuming clan together wiping out the original seventh priest has always been lingering in Liu Yi's mind. Whenever he thinks of the adult in the Tribulation Period who was scared to death by the nine one-eyed men and his godhood was completely destroyed, he can't help but feel cold in his heart.
As the seventh priest was exposed as the leader of the resistance faction, the Yuming clan launched an unprecedented cleansing campaign. All the people related to the seventh priest, regardless of their level, cultivation, or contribution, were interrogated individually and then killed.
Everyone in the Yuming clan was in danger, fearing that the purge storm would fall on them.
Once it falls, it means that the Yuming clan's high-level officials really suspect him, and then death is not far away.
Speaking of which, Liu Yi was once taken care of by the seventh priest Minghe, but there was no subordinate relationship. It was just that Minghe promoted outstanding juniors normally. There are countless people like him in the Yuming clan, so there is no need to be so terrified.
But Liu Yi dared not to be afraid, because before the purge storm, he was controversial in the Yuming clan, and many people secretly poked his spine, thinking that he was a real resistance faction.
All this was because the lower world managed by Liu Yi was out of the control of the Yuming clan. This was the first lower world that was completely out of control since the stability of the Yuming clan! This was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Yuming clan, and Liu Yi was summoned by the top leaders at the first time.
At the interrogation meeting, even though Liu Yi explained everything that happened in the lower world in detail, his statement was really not convincing to the interrogating top leaders. To be honest, Liu Yi's statement made him himself unconvinced.
Not only the Yuming clan leaders, but even he himself, did not know how a small Nascent Soul cultivator led the lower world Yingtian clan to break free from the shackles of the Yuming clan.
Since Liu Yi had a high status in the Yuming Clan, he had reached the peak of the fusion stage very early, and was very likely to be promoted to the Mahayana stage, so he was not dealt with on the spot by the Yuming Clan's high-level officials and sentenced to be guilty.
Originally, this matter had passed, but now the storm of purging has exposed his crimes again. Everyone suspected that he had done it on purpose, destroying an important breeding farm of the Yuming Clan, thereby weakening the Yuming Clan and hindering the Lord's arrival. After all, the formation of the lower world has been tested for millions of years. If Liu Yi had not secretly taken action, how could it be broken by a weak Yuanying cultivator!
Liu Yi had no way to defend this statement, and he hated the human boy more and more in his heart!
It was that guy who caused him to fall into such a situation!
Liu Yi wished that he could descend directly to the human lower world, dig out the boy, investigate the truth, and clear his name.
But the human race is a large clan in the spiritual world, and there are many lower worlds under the human race. Let alone finding the boy, he doesn't even know where the boy is now.
In the end, the purge storm still blew on Liu Yi's head.
On this day, the high-level officials sent an order, ordering Liu Yi to go to the Tianquan Altar to be interrogated by the second priest.
Hearing this news, Liu Yi was heartbroken.
He never expected that it was the second priest who would judge him personally.
The Yuming tribe knew that the second priest of the Yuming tribe was one of the first three heroes of the Yuming tribe, and his status was second only to the high priest. In the tribe, the high priest established a united and kind image and was responsible for rewarding the tribe members, while the second priest represented the iron face and coldness of the Yuming tribe and was responsible for punishment. It is said that the second priest personally found out that the seventh priest was a traitor of the resistance faction.
Liu Yi was taken to the Tianquan Altar. Looking at the towering altar and the one-eyed man on the altar, he was ready to die. But Liu Yi felt wronged in his heart. He had never resisted the Lord's coming. Now he died because of this matter, and his death was worthless. Moreover, he had not yet personally caught the boy named Shu Han and crushed him to death to vent his hatred.
Entering the altar secret room, the door of the secret room slammed shut.
In the darkness, Liu Yi suddenly caught a glimpse of the second elder's glow. He saw the second elder floating in the air, sitting facing the wall, and the voice that seemed to come from the ancient times shook his soul.
"Liu Yi, this priest asks you, are you a member of the resistance faction?"
Liu Yigang knelt down and kowtowed: "I am not a member of the resistance faction! I am loyal to the Lord and the Yuming Clan, and I have absolutely no relationship with the resistance faction! My sincere heart can be witnessed by heaven and earth!"
"What's the use of just talking."
The second elder asked: "Liu Yi, what do you think of the current situation within the Yuming Clan?"
Liu Yi didn't know why the second elder asked this, and said bluntly: "Reporting to the second elder, the current situation of the Yuming Clan is not optimistic. I never thought that the seven priests who are so blessed by the Lord are all members of the resistance faction. It can be seen that the scale of the resistance faction within the Yuming Clan cannot be underestimated."
"Do you think there are any leaders of the resistance faction among the remaining eight priests?"
This question made Liu Yi sweat.
"I dare not talk about the priest behind his back!"
"Then do you know why there are so many resistance factions within the Yuming Clan?"
This question made Liu Yi feel even colder.
"I don't know."
"That's not true. Tell me, and I will forgive you."
Liu Yi swallowed his saliva and said, "I did hear a few rumors that once the Lord descends, the Yuming tribe will not be able to escape the fate of being devoured by the Lord, so they want to resist the Lord's arrival. But this rumor is definitely malicious. The Lord has reborn our Yuming tribe. Without the Lord's supreme power, how could our Yuming tribe become a great tribe in the spiritual world!"
"Once the resistance faction takes over the mainstream of the Yuming Clan, angering the Lord and interrupting the great torrent, our Yuming Clan will immediately weaken. The surrounding hundreds of clans will certainly covet our clan's rich assets. Even if the Lord does not punish our clan, our clan will naturally perish in the human world like the Yingtian Clan!"
The second elder said with satisfaction: "You are indeed loyal in your words. However, as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Our Yuming Clan cannot listen to words at a critical moment. Liu Yi, this priest cannot judge your loyalty, but this priest has recently comprehended a spell that can prove your loyalty. Are you willing to accept it?"
Prove loyalty? !
Liu Yi thought, is it mind slavery?
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I am willing to accept any magic test from the priest!"
"Over the years, the deeper this priest has studied the master, the more insights he has gained. The magic I will perform on you next is the one that this priest is most proud of. Come here."
Liu Yi swallowed his saliva and slowly walked to the second priest and knelt down.
The second priest had a blank expression on his face and pointed a finger at Liu Yi's forehead.
"Soon, you will no longer be entangled or troubled, and your heart will be sincerely dedicated to the master."
In an instant, the single eye on the Tianquan altar became clear.
Then, in the secret room, Liu Yi panted and knelt in front of the second priest. Purple light intertwined in his eyes, and finally calmed down. After calming down, his eyes were no longer troubled or confused, but full of unprecedented conviction and fanaticism.
"I am Liu Yi, thank you for the guidance of the second priest! I will dedicate my life to the master wholeheartedly and never betray!"
The second priest closed his eyes calmly.
"I heard that you have always been obsessed with the things in the lower world."
"Reporting to the second priest, that's right."
The second priest raised his hand, and a treasure mirror floated in front of Liu Yi.
"Go and look at the ascension passage of the human race in the lower world. That person has practiced the "Nine Saints Yuming Immortal Art" and "Yingtian Immortal Art". He will definitely ascend to the spiritual world. It won't be difficult to find him. Bring him to see me. This priest is very curious about how this person accomplished that feat back then."
Liu Yi was delighted.
"Yes, sir!"
