Transcending the Nine Heavens

w many from the Yè Clan had died because of his ‘loyalty in return’?

The Supreme Martial Artists watched Chu Yang who was speaking with assurance, emanating righteousness and justice, emphatic about love and loyalty, and grand and imposing.
They could not help but feel their jaw starting to ache.

“Also, I told Brother Yè then, that this matter was a maelstrom and to be careful.
Brother Yè promised me so at that time too.
We were reluctant to part but nevertheless parted ways at the gates of Orchard Palace.”

Upright and with a clear conscience, Chu Yang said, “I can thrash things out with Yè Mengse, Brother Yè, anytime about this matter!”

Yè Qingchou nodded weakly and waved his hand.
“It’s okay.”

The trial reached a point of stalemate at this moment.

This guy didn’t know anything substantial and had absolutely no idea what was going on.
How could they continue?

“In that case, you have absolutely no idea what kind of intel they came to you for?” the Dharma Supreme asked.

“Of course I do!” Chu Yang said with a tinge of grievance, “At that time, from Ye Shifeng, Lan Changge, even Zhuge Changchang and Brother Yè, Yè Mengse, to the numerous young masters from the Shi Clan, Xiao Clan, Chen Clan, Li Clan etc — all of them were madly chasing Angel Wu.
Which of them wasn’t salivating after her? They almost got into a fight at Jiaxiu building at that time.
And now, Young Master Lan Changge wanted to use such a method to achieve his goal… I’m sure all the young masters will not agree to it.”

“What you’re saying is that this whole matter was because of love rivalry and jealousy?” Li Xiangsi was rather speechless.

“Wasn’t it?” Chu Yang asked, taken aback.
He then sighed heavily and said regretfully, “Women are the root of trouble… this is too true.”

The Supreme Martial Artists lowered their heads and kept their gazes low, their posture ramrod straight.

No one spoke.

Chu Yang’s mouth did not rest though, and he said with a bitter laugh, “Lan Changge said he was helping me to attain the beauty but deep down, how would I not know? If this had gone well, the one who would attain the beauty was definitely him and not me.”

With a lonely expression, he sighed long and heavy.
“To be honest… I’m just a pawn.
A pawn who can be discarded after usage, that’s all.”

The Dharma Supreme said impassively, “But contrary to what you think, there’s more to this matter!”

Chu Yang was bewildered.
“More to it?”

The Dharma Supreme said with an air of indifference, “Come here.”

Following which, he turned to face all the second grandmasters of the Nine Super Clans.
“Everyone, if you trust me, I will cast the Soul Control spell.
What do you say?”

Although Chu Yang’s explanation was invulnerable, the Dharma Supreme still felt that there was something fishy!

This was a kind of instinct.

Chu Yang’s voice, expressions, actions, tone, emotions, etc — each and every aspect showed that what he had said was from the bottom of his heart!

A lot of them were already convinced.
Everyone was a wily old fox here — they could tell with a glance whether one was lying or not.

However, the Dharma Supreme still felt that something was not quite right, yet he could not pinpoint it.

Of course, all the Supreme Martial Artists agreed eagerly.
In this world, if the Dharma Supreme could not be trusted, who would be?

Chu Yang’s face was upright and fearless as he walked over.
He exuded an air of ‘He who is selfless in his heart would be able to hold a broader view of the world’.

Standing before the Dharma Supreme, he emitted an aura with a whoosh.
The Supreme Martial Artists were swayed at once.

To think that this fellow dissolved his cultivation on his own accord and withdrew all his defenses when someone was casting a Soul Control spell on him! This was the same as fully leaving himself to the mercy of the Dharma Supreme.

Indeed… Keep one’s conscience clear and one would never fear!

Chu Yang turned slowly and said, “Elders, Chu may be young but I am also aware of what can be done and what cannot.
I’ve said what I said and done what I’ve done.
When everyone came to me for intel, I sold it to them and also earned from it.”

“As for what kind of intel everyone came to me for, I’ve also relayed to you truthfully.
If I said ninth of the twelfth month, then ninth of the twelfth month it was.
And true enough, the Lan Clan took action.
My intel was not wrong.”

“Even though it caused the Super Clans to fight a bloody battle, I, Chu Yang, have a clear conscience! I did the right thing and do not fear any consequences! I carry myself upright and handle things as they should be! I am a physician and have the merciful heart of one! My heart is broad and selfless! On this matter, certainly, I have benefited from it! But I rightfully deserve those benefits!”

“To say something most unceremonious, each Super Clan here have suffered losses.
To feel heartache is inevitable.
But so long as my intel is definite, accurate and true, then it has nothing to do with me! The resulting deaths, all the more, have nothing to do with me! You should look for whoever has killed them.
An eye for an eye, to pay what you owe — buying intel also requires sincerity, simple as that!”

“If this wasn’t about a beauty but a treasure trove; should people die while vying for the treasure, you wouldn’t seek justice from the person who sold you the treasure map, right? If you bought 40 buns and gorged yourself on all of them despite being full… you wouldn’t look for the bun seller, right?”

Chu Yang let out a tragic laugh.
“The reason why I’m here today is because I’m weak and powerless.
My weakness and lack of power are why everyone can place the blame on me! Even though everyone clearly knows that this has nothing much to do with me…”

“When the Dharma Supreme casts the spell later, the truth will be out! When that time comes, you can do anything you want with me, be it to kill or torture me! I only ask that you let my younger sister off.”

Chu Yang laughed bleakly.
“Such is the way of the world, that’s all.”

His eyes spirited and determined, he looked at the Dharma Supreme and slowly took a seat.
He said solemnly, “Lord Dharma Supreme, you can start now!”
