It had to be said that Hou Liang was very talented in storytelling.

Xu Bai did not feel anything. As he listened to Hou Liang’s explanation, his expression remained unchanged.

However, Su Meng was different.

Su Meng seemed to be fascinated.

When she heard Hou Liang say that she was just passing by and was caught by the young master of the Sword Clan, Su Meng would reveal the same expression as Hou Liang.

When he heard Hou Liang mention that he was forced to be a beggar by the young master of the Sword Clan for a year, he was also furious.

‘Still…

When Su Meng heard that a disciple of the Holy Sect had descended from the sky to save him, she revealed the same expression as Hou Liang. It was as if she had seen the light in the darkness.

When Su Meng heard that the young master of the Sword Clan had arrived with his men, she seemed to have guessed what would happen next. Like a fan of dramas, she looked at Hou Liang eagerly.

“And then? And then? Did that disciple of the Holy Sect kill that young master of the Sword Sect?”

“No, he’s dead.”

Su Meng was stunned on the spot.

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

Su Meng was dumbfounded.

“Dead?”

“Yes, dead.”

Hou Liang nodded and recalled what happened in his previous life. Looking at

Su Meng, who was in disbelief, he shook his head and said, “That disciple of the

Holy Sect has just built his foundation. How can he defeat a family that has the Sword Sect as their backing? Furthermore, that’s their headquarters. That disciple of the Holy Sect wanted to save me out of the city, but his consciousness was pierced by the sword of the Sword Sect’s young master. After that, in order to punish me, he threw me into a pigpen and forced me to fight with livestock for food every day in order to survive.”

Xu Bai frowned as he listened.

Su Meng covered her mouth and looked at Hou Liang in disbelief.

“Oh, God.”

Su Meng was in disbelief. “My grandfather told me that the Sword Sect is the leader of the eight immortal cultivation sects. They cultivate sharp sword Qi and hate evil the most. How did this happen?”

Hou Liang did not answer this question.

In the previous generation, he had been a beggar for a year because he had been careless. He had lived worse than pigs and dogs for a month.

What if he spoke faster this time?

Would the Sword Clan react like last time?

He didn’t care about himself, but he couldn’t implicate Brother Bai.

Xu Bai didn’t interrupt Hou Liang while he was explaining. Even when he heard this, he only frowned. Then, he looked at Hou Liang, who was staring at him, and said without any change in tone, “And then?”

Hou Liang continued to explain.

“I stayed in that pigpen for a month. I thought I was going to be like that for the rest of my life.”

“But one night, the people from the Holy Sect came.”

“Later on, I found out that the disciple of the Holy Sect who died to save me had sent a message to the local branch of the Holy Sect before he died. However, the Qian family was powerful. In order to save me, they had no choice but to observe. It was only on this day when that young master went out to hunt that he barged in and saved me.”

“But in order to save me, five disciples of the Holy Sect who had just built their foundation died.

“I feel very guilty. After I get out, I want to die.”

“However, those disciples of the Holy Sect only calmly made a cenotaph and told me that everyone should be born equal. How can there be a difference between the high and the low? The Holy Sect did it so that one day, an ordinary person with mediocre aptitude like me would not encounter this calamity. In order to achieve this goal, they would die without regrets.”

“They then gave me a bag of money and told me that I was safe and could leave.”

“If it was six months ago, I would have left.”

“But at that time, I understood. Hence, I immediately knelt on the ground, hoping to join the Holy Sect.”

Su Meng blinked and looked at Xu Bai. She said carefully, “Master, why do I feel that this Holy Sect seems to be different from what my uncle and the others described?”

Xu Bai shrugged. “A person killed someone for his mother. Do you think he’s a good or a bad person?” Su Meng did not hesitate.

“Good man.”

“But the law says he’s a bad guy and he needs to pay with his life.”

Xu Bai smiled and said. Then, he shook his head and said, “This is what I told you just now. You think that those people who were killed by the Yin World are innocent, but in the Yin World’s eyes, they are not innocent. The right to explain lies with the Yin World and not us. Similarly, in the vast Great Desolate World, the right to explain lies with the eight immortal cultivation sects and not the Holy Sect.”

Without the right to explain, he did not even have a channel to speak.

What was the Holy Sect like? Naturally, it was still like whatever the eight immortal cultivation sects described.

If Su Meng was from the Holy Sect in the vast Great Desolate World, the people of the vast Great Desolate World would probably believe that the eight immortal cultivation sects said that Su Meng was a female demon who was 1.5 meters tall and weighed 300 kilograms and liked to eat human flesh.

This was also why Xu Bai could not be bothered with the Holy Sect’s preparations for the two moons. He had always been an idealist.

Black and white.

What the outside world thought was not important at all. Xu Bai only looked to himself.

If it was black, but to Xu Bai it was white, then white it was would be.

If he was black, he would be black to Xu Bai.

Except…

Xu Bai thought about it and looked at Hou Liang. “That’s not right. You just said that the Holy Sect is the mastermind behind the smuggling of the spirit?” Hou Liang nodded. “Yes, my reincarnation was arranged by the Holy Sect.” Xu Bai frowned. “But your attitude towards the Holy Sect…

Hou Liang was slightly stunned. Then, he nodded and looked at the expression on Xu Bai’s face. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Brother Bai, what I mean is that not only are the people from the Yin Yang Sect involved in this matter, but there are also people from transcendent families. Our Holy Sect is also involved. However, the Yin Yang Sect and these transcendent families don’t know that our Holy Sect is using them as cover.”

That was what he meant.

Hou Liang waved his hand and said, “The Holy Maiden said that everyone is born equal. The teachings of the Holy Sect are all here. How can we do such a thing to choose the best and disturb the reincarnation cycle? Instead, after the Holy Sect discovered the secrets of the Yin Yang Sect and the transcendent families then investigated their secrets, they hid in the dark and did this behind their backs.”

After the Holy Sect found out about the secret of the Yin Yang Sect and the transcendent families, they determined that the transcendent families of the vast Great Desolate World and the Yin Yang Sect had joined forces and tried to plot against the Federation world in advance so that after the two worlds fused, they could calmly turn the Federation world into a society like the current vast Great Desolate World and follow their rules.

“Our Holy Maiden is furious!” 𝒻𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

“How could the eight immortal cultivation sects not know about the existence of transcendent families attached to them?”

“Even though the Holy Sect already knows and has sent people, the most important thing now is to find out what the eight immortal cultivation sects are plotting.”

“That’s why I volunteered.”

“After I joined the Holy Sect, because that young master cut off the tendons in my hands and feet, I even placed some filth in the swill every day. In addition, my aptitude is average. Even if I cultivate for a hundred years, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to build my foundation.”

“Therefore, the Left Emissary of Light of the Holy Sect erased my memories of joining the Holy Sect and kept them in the part where I left the village. According to the clues we obtained, the Qian family is also among these aristocratic families. They are also looking for some people with no foundation. Then, they will take them away and let the Yin Yang Sect take their true spirit.”

“As expected, in just one night, I was targeted. The Qian family moved me away. Then, the people of the Yin Yang Sect took my True Spirit and came to the Yin World without any obstruction and pushed me in.”

“That’s all I know.”

If Hou Liang had not been burned by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Flame, he would never have remembered that he had such a past in his previous life.

After Hou Liang finished speaking, he exhaled heavily. He looked at Xu Bai, who was looking down silently, and Su Meng, who had an inexplicable expression on her face. Then, he looked at Xu Bai again. “Brother Bai, the Holy Sect is not the Demonic Sect.”

Xu Bai returned to his senses and looked at Hou Liang.

Hou Liang looked at Xu Bai with a sincere gaze. “I don’t know why the Holy Sect here has become like this, but I can guarantee that in the vast Great Desolate World, only those righteous path cultivators will call us the Demonic Sect. The Holy Sect never bullies the weak. The holy light is bright, and the Holy Fire is dazzling…”

Xu Bai reached out and interrupted her. “Don’t tell me that. My opinion is only targeted at individuals. You should tell Su Meng that in this world, her uncle is the one who cares about you.”

There were always a few pieces of rat feces in every industry.

Xu Bai would never belittle an industry, a department, or a sect just because of a few people.

Hou Liang’s gaze landed on Su Meng.

Su Meng was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Don’t look at me. I’ll listen to Master. Moreover, I’m not very familiar with Su Bancheng. Look, I’m following my Master, not my uncle. I’ll listen to Master.”

If Su Bancheng was here and heard his niece say this, he would probably faint from anger on the spot.

‘Still…

‘That must have been a very nice picture.’

Xu Bai thought to himself. Then, he looked at Hou Liang and said, “Alright, it doesn’t matter whether this is a conspiracy of the Yin Yang Sect, those aristocratic families, or the Holy Sect. The empress of the Yin World already knows about it.”

It didn’t matter if you were from the Yin Yang Sect, a transcendent family, or the Holy Sect.

Without the permission of the Yin World’s Empress, this was a violation of the rules.

Empress Yinshi had already found out about all of this. Yinshi’s death was the best evidence. No matter what kind of reincarnation you were, as long as you didn’t go through the normal process of reincarnation, you would be brought back to Yinshi to be punished.

No matter how powerful a scheme was, it would be useless against absolute strength.

A slap from the Yin World Empress might be able to destroy an entire city.

Xu Bai thought to himself. He was not worried at all.

Instead, he was worried about something else.

How could he make the Yin Empress not take away Su Meng’s true spirit?
