Huo Jian was completely unaware, and it can be said that he was the most shocked person in the audience!
He looked at He Qun, and he felt that only on He Qun's face could he see the same expression struck by lightning as his own, but he was doomed to be disappointed.
Yan Xi and his wife should know about this matter. After all, Rong Che is their son-in-law. It's understandable and normal.
His son presides over the Presbyterian Church. He told all this news. This kid must know!
Jin Mang was the first person to follow Yan Qingzheng, so he must have known about it. He Qun, judging from his current expression, probably knew about it a little before he did...
So... Huo Jian suddenly looked at his son: Jin Mang knows how to warn his lover in advance and take precautions, but it would be better for you not to talk to your father!
"Please let Mr. Huo express his support for this matter first!" Yan Xi said. He did this to respect Huo Jian's wishes. After all, the others didn't seem to have much problem. If they expressed their support first, what else would Huo Jian do?
Oppose, and one vote against it has no effect.
Huo Jian instantly understood Yan Xi's good intentions, but to him it actually made no difference. Can't he still see everyone's attitude?
Moreover, Yan Qing is showing favor to him, so can he vote against it?
But kindness belongs to kindness, and we still need to ask clearly when facing big matters of right and wrong.
"I want to hear what Peak Master Rong has to say." In fact, he wanted to see what Rong Che's current state is and whether he still retains his former upright nature after becoming a demon cultivator for many years.
"Yes, I haven't seen Peak Master Rong for four or five years. I'd like to ask him to explain such a big matter." He Qun interrupted.
Although Rong Che had always been taciturn but upright and righteous in the past, he has been with those demon cultivators for four or five years. Who knows if his eyes are still so clear and full of justice now.
Mr. Bao glanced at Yan Xi calmly, and when he saw him closing his eyes to show his approval, he nodded and said, "This is as it should be. Everyone, please wait a moment. I will ask Peak Master Rong to come over."
After saying that, he sent a letter to Rong Che in front of everyone, then walked back to his seat and sat down quietly to wait, not even looking at his father's complaining eyes.
After a while, Rong Che, who was waiting nearby, walked into the meeting hall step by step.
The six elders all turned to look at the door. Rong Che's tall and thin figure gradually became clearer. His steps were as firm and straight as ever. Just the sight of his long strides made the six of them suddenly feel certain in their complicated hearts.
Rong Che stepped in with one foot, paused briefly, and then walked firmly to the center of the meeting hall.
"I am a demon cultivator." Rong Che shocked the entire audience when he opened his mouth because he said this so calmly, "Because I was born a demon!"
Huo Jian's mouth opened wide in shock. It was no wonder that he was so rude, because among all the people present, he was the only one who had a deep understanding of magic cultivation.
He was born with a demon fetus, which was a talent he had never been able to obtain. It was also because he was not a demon fetus that he gave up powerful demonic skills, because immortal roots cannot practice demonic skills and will only suffer backlash.
"How is that possible?" Huo Jian lost his voice and said, "How could you be a demon fetus? How could you be a demon fetus!" If he hadn't known that Rong Che was from the Fengling royal family, he would never have made a mistake. He would have suspected that Rong Che was a demon fetus.
It was smuggled over from the demon world. After all, this is the lower plane of the fairy world. How could a demon fetus be born from the local land!
Rong Che didn't say anything, but stretched out his right hand flatly, with the palm of his hand facing upwards, and effortlessly condensed a black mist, which rolled in his palm but did not escape at all.
"This is... demonic energy!" Huo Jian's voice was trembling, "I have never seen such pure demonic energy!"
He stood up and walked towards Rong Che, stopped in front of him, stared at the demonic energy, moved his hands that were hanging down, but suppressed the thought of touching.
The demonic energy in front of him was exactly what he had longed for for many years, but now he was afraid of avoiding it!
At this moment, Huo Jian suddenly remembered the abnormality he had felt when Rong Che was practicing in seclusion many years ago. Now that he thought about it, it was not an illusion.
He Qun also stood up and moved slightly closer, with a serious expression.
Rong Che's identity as a demon cultivator is undoubtedly confirmed, and he is a demon fetus, not an immortal, which means that even if he does not practice, he is destined to be different from ordinary people.
Conflict flashed in He Qun's eyes, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "Master Rong, you are different from those demon cultivators. You have never harmed innocent people, and the Xuanmen in the world don't know that you are a demon cultivator. Why don't you take this opportunity to let me know?"
Hundreds of schools of Xuanmen go to encircle and destroy those demonic cultivators! As for you, how about you still stay in Guiyi Sect and don’t expose the identity of the demonic cultivators?"
In He Qun's view, this is the most reasonable and generous approach.
Unexpectedly, Rong Che didn't think so. He shook his head and insisted: "I want to let them live."
"But they are demonic cultivators!" He Qun raised his voice: "Isn't it because of their misbehavior this time that the Xuanmen people got the handle and exposed their traces?"
Rong Che looked at He Qun: "Aren't there people among casual cultivators who cause harm to the world?"
He Qun was startled, and Rong Che looked at Huo Jian again: "Didn't the Jiuyoumen back then care about human life?"
Then he looked at Xiang Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue: "Are there no scum in Tianyi Sect?"
Everyone choked, and He Qun pursed his lips, unable to refute, but emotionally unable to accept it.
No matter how bad the Taoist cultivators are, they still believe that it is human nature and that humans can be divided into good and bad.
But demons... no matter what they think, they are all bad people, whether they do bad things or not, they are demons. They just want to implement the concept engraved in their souls: eliminate demons and do their best!
"But the general environment is like this. After all, we can't fight against the entire Xuanmen!" Huo Jian said with a frown.
Thinking about how powerful Jiuyoumen was back then, wasn’t it also destroyed by Xuanmen?
Don't look at other things where the Taoist families are fighting each other to the death. Even when Yan Qing was studying the ascension passage, it was a major matter for the Taoist ascension in the world.
, it has been delayed for several years, but on the matter of slaying demons and defending the Tao, the attitudes of all the Taoist schools are surprisingly consistent, and they will never tolerate it!
So what Rong Che wants is indeed a bit overwhelming.
"Then why don't you take this opportunity to move those demonic cultivators to another place? Don't we have a teleportation array, which can just avoid surveillance and hide them without anyone noticing?" He Qun suggested.
Rong Che stood quietly and suddenly smiled. He said: "If Qing'er was here...she would definitely support me and find a way to overcome the difficulties, instead of discussing matters here with prejudice!"
Huo Jian was stunned. Rong Che had never said such rude words.
He Qun's face darkened, and if Jin Mang hadn't pulled him away, he would have walked away.
Nalan Lianyue was dumbfounded and thought to herself what was wrong with this child. Could it be that the demon cultivator really affected his mind? Shouldn't he be persuading and asking for everyone's help at this time?
Although he had the name of "Demon Lord", he was too weak to take away Rong Che, which made him tremblingly doubtful about the true strength of the Demon Lord of Slaughter.
Jin Mang shrugged: "It's said to be very powerful, but... I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
Huo Jian's feet went weak, but Mr. Bao quickly helped his father with his quick eyesight and hands.
"I don't mean to scare anyone by saying this, but I want to tell you that even killing the Demon Lord will not make me change my original intention. Although I am a demon cultivator, I am the same as you, normal and not bloodthirsty.
