Brothers who have known each other for over ten thousand years, how can you say such nonsense about colluding with the Law Sovereign to frame a brother's family? Has my family not been destroyed? Did my family not lose lives?
If it weren't for the bigger picture still weighing on his mind, Ling Mu Yang would have almost drawn his sword and severed ties with everyone on the spot!
"Chu Sword Master, what the hell is this reasoning!" Ling Mu Yang was still fuming, his chest heaving and his eyes wide open, even after drinking for a while.
Chu Yang and the others could only smile wryly in response.
When a person suffers a major blow, their mindset is certainly different from usual, and at such times, the worst aspects of human nature are most vividly exposed.
At this moment, Xiao Chenyu, Zhuge Cangtian, and Chen Yingfeng clearly exemplified this disturbed mentality.
My family is completely wiped out, why is yours still alive?
This is an extremely unreasonable and special mindset, yet it is surprisingly common in times like these. Especially after experiencing a family tragedy, witnessing the heavenly family bliss of others breeds a desire to destroy them…
Some even acted on this narrow-minded and unreasonable mentality, leading to many human tragedies.
In scientific terms, it can be described as anti-social, anti-ethical, and anti-human behavior!
Chen Yingfeng and the others were ancient beings, their will naturally far surpassing ordinary people, but now facing the destruction of their family and the loss of their kin, the sudden blow, along with the collapse of countless years of hard work, triggered an extreme psychological response comparable to that of normal people, or even worse—more radical!
"However, why did the Law Sovereign specifically spare the Ling Family? This old man is utterly baffled!" After cursing for a while, Ling Mu Yang still felt a bit fortunate deep down, but more than that, he was puzzled.
"It seems I have no ties with the Law Sovereign..."
Ling Mu Yang muttered to himself.
Chu Yang and Mo Tianji exchanged helpless smiles.
The Law Sovereign sparing the Ling Family, at first glance, seemed very strange, but they all understood: the Law Sovereign, while appearing mad, still operated under strict rules and principles.
The reason the Ling Family had not suffered massive casualties was that they had not accumulated many crimes over these ten thousand years. Moreover, Ling Mu Yang had spent his life wielding the sword in the martial arts world, truly embodying the phrase "guilt-free." This undoubtedly played a significant role.
Additionally, the Ling Family was located in the extreme north, with strict family teachings. Even though there were occasional prodigals among the younger members, their misdeeds were hardly noticeable. Over the millennia, they had accumulated very few evil deeds; thus, they barely managed to escape the calamity that had engulfed the entire Nine Heavens.
Although they still lost tens of thousands of martial artist lives, compared to the other great families, they were indeed much luckier.
Yet, this point did not need to be explicitly stated.
No matter how the Law Sovereign acted, regardless of his stance or original intention, once things reached this point, no one would let him off the hook!
Even if the Law Sovereign had overwhelming reasons for his actions, such a loss of tens of millions of lives, especially the elite lives of the Nine Heavens, was a cost he must bear!
Blood washing the world!
These four words are often only spoken in moments of anger; in reality, few dare to act on them. But now, the Law Sovereign had truly made it happen.
And he was still continuing to do so!
The so-called Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly was now practically a façade.
Everyone was sharpening their swords, waiting for the Law Enforcer to arrive in force, ready to fight to the death in Central Capital! Such a monstrous villain could not be allowed to live on, bringing endless calamity!
At this point, the idea of support from all sides had become a complete joke, utterly meaningless.
