Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

"Looks like I don't need to do anything; just let that boy go wild and the righteous faction will fall. Hahaha!" Mo Tianji laughed as he looked at Ye Chen.

Hearing him, many people's expressions did not look good; however, before they could retort, a hoarse voice echoed.

"I hate to admit this but what Mo Tianji from the Howling Demon Sect said is true," an elder from the fallen sect spoke. His face was dark and sunken as if he had not eaten for years.

Once again, the elders from the righteous side did not have a good expression. Meanwhile, Ye Chen frowned in displeasure at how they were trying to use him as a chess piece.

"You two old farts, if you really think I am that bad, then why don't you kill yourselves because there is no use in living as I am doing your work!" He sneered coldly.

"Brat, don't be arrogant just because you have some strength."

"How dare you speak against me? Do you really think I can't kill you?"

Mo Tianji and the elder of the fallen sect stated coldly.

In that instant a few more figures appeared in front of Ye Chen. Surprisingly, one of them was Song Lingxi, while one was from the Wu family and the other ones were from the royal family.

Seeing this, the intent to kill Ye Chen only increased inside Mo Tianji and the elder of the Fallen Sect.

"I did not expect the fallen sect to be still alive. You all are really tenacious, aren't you?" Lu Changhe from the royal family spoke.

"So what? There is nothing your royal family can do to us; we are true immortals!" Kong Yanluo replied, his eyes flashing with bliss and arrogance as he spoke.

"Haha, don't forget my presence, you evil spirit." Wei Sun laughed as the Buddhist mala in his hand started to illuminate with an aura of righteousness.

Kong Yanluo and everyone inside the fallen sect could not help but narrow their eyes. However, no one panicked.

"Before dealing with me, you should deal with the evil spirits inside your own faction, don't you think, Buddhist?" Kong Yanluo chuckled faintly.

In response, Wei Sun shook his head.

"What evil are you talking about? Don't tell me it is related to this lucky, virtuous brat killing others because they made a deal with a fallen and heretical sect!" He spoke, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.

The elders who were angered before could not help but shiver. They, after all, know what happened, and Su Ying even displayed images of the cursed weapon. It was also this reason why the elders had not exploded and started accusing him.

Things would be really bad if they supported some heinous and corrupted disciple.

"Wei Sun! Don't put heretical sects inside this just because you want to protect that brat!" Mo Tianji stated with a frown.

He did not like the idea of being put inside the same groups as the fallen sect. Although the disciples did gather up together, he did not care since it was all to kill Ye Chen.

"Hmph! My Thousand Curse Sect also does not want to be put with them!" Kong Yanluo snorted with a cold look.

The fallen sect had always been against the whole world; if not for the fact they wanted to kill Ye Chen, they wouldn't be teaming up with them.

Thinking of this, Kong Yanluo secretly glanced at Chang Bai, who stood behind an elder of the Soaring Cloud Sect.

His actions were secretive and even if someone noticed, no one would care too much, as they would think he was assessing the strength of a strong cultivator in that direction.

Watching both the heretical and fallen sects going against each other, the righteous faction was pleased. It would be really bad and devastating if these two evils grouped together.

"Why don't you scram now? Or do you want to fight?" Lu Changhe spoke with a cold look.

Hearing him, Mo Tianji and Kong Yanluo snorted lightly.

"I am taking my leave but you better deal with that brat first; if not, he will wipe you out. Also, he should have a special physique, right? I swear that if he is left alive, then there will be another first-grade sect and even the rule of the Ji family would be in crisis!" Mo Tianji did not forget to plant seeds of discord before taking his leave.

"A special physique with such an evil mind—even I think it's a waste for him to be born in a righteous faction." Kong Yanluo also repeated the same tactic and left with everyone.

The righteous faction did not make a move and neither did the void ascension realm inside the mystic city, which kept an eye on everything. The void ascension realm was, after all, an ancestor of the Su family. Unless the family was in danger, he wouldn't act, as his lifespan would become shorter.

Everyone here understood this and did not expect anything from the ancestor.

"Let's go back." Lu Changhe did not delay and instructed them to return.

The geniuses of the heretical sect and fallen sect had already left. Which meant it was a great chance to kill the geniuses of the righteous sect without worrying about their own.

"Wait!"

Suddenly Zhu Wenkai shouted. Since all of the disciples from the Flame Dragon Sect were missing, he did not care about the safety of others.

"I want justice! I want to know whether or not my son is alive; if not, I will fight to the death!" he declared coldly.

Hearing him, everyone couldn't help but frown. Especially the second-grade sect, who were weak and did not have strong elders here. If the fallen sect or heretical sect attacked now, their geniuses would certainly die.

"Does the Flame Dragon Sect want to rebel?!" Lu Changhe did not take this happily.

He was from the faction of Crown Prince Ji Feng and came to know there was a slight friendship between the crown prince and Ye Chen. Any smart person would know whose side to take on so how could he care about Zhu Wenkai?

"Lu Changhe, you are just a bodyguard so don't be arrogant! Believe it or not, I will fight with everyone here!" Zhu Wenkai stated with a cold look.

In the eyes of disciples, he was someone who had lost his mind over his son's death; however, in the eyes of senior cultivators, he was an old fox.

Zhu Wenkai's wife was a blood-related sister of the second prince, Ji Xuanhao. There was nothing to say about what he was planning to do in disguise of hatred.

There was no way Lu Changhe and others would let him succeed. But before they could shut him up, a man appeared in front of Zhu Wenkai. On his waist there was a token with 'Ji' inscribed in it.

Seeing this, everyone narrowed their eyes.

"There is no need to be this tense and I think it is better for us to see if that brat really killed the innocent or not. I doubt there would be even a question with how he killed disciples before," the man spoke, his voice laced with arrogance.

"Butler Xi Yanzhou, why are you here? Shouldn't you be with my ninth brother, Ji Yemo?" Crown Prince Ji Feng inquired with narrow eyes.

"Haha, Crown Prince Ji Feng, you should really feel lucky for having a good and concerned brother like my young master Ji Yemo. He was worried about your health and safety so after knowing the trial had become longer, the young master sent me here," Xi Yanzhou replied with a laugh.

After which, before anyone could speak, he took out a palm-sized white stone filled with a righteous aura.

"This is the 'Stone of True Words,' gifted to our young master by a chief monk of a Buddhist temple on his eighteenth birthday. As long as one held this stone and lied. It will turn black but if they told the truth, it would remain white."

"All that brat had to do is say he did not kill anyone from the 'Flame Dragon Sect,' and the matter will be over," he stated with a smile.

But how could Crown Prince Ji Feng and others let him do as he wished? However, before they could speak, Ye Chen agreed.

"I see no problem in this but what if I was falsely accused? I want the spatial ring of everyone from the Flame Dragon Sect and also yours, Mr. Nosy Butler. Of course, if you are scared to shit by this, then take back what you said and scram like a wild dog!" Ye Chen did not leave a way back.

Hearing him, Xi Yanzhou's expression turned black. He was a ninth-stage nascent soul cultivator with a terrifying identity and power. Even the sect masters had to be conscious about his presence yet a brat at the Qi gathering realm taunted him? Where would his dignity go?

Zhu Wenkai and other elders from the Flame Dragon Sect also did not have any good expressions.
