Chapter 791 - 309: The True Dragon Overwhelms All Creation (Part 2)

"I wonder, is the decision of the Farmer Clan not to support the Terminal Daoists, or are you planning to forge a new path?"

Gu Lan spoke calmly,

"We do not support the Terminal Daoists."

"In that case, why did the Farmer Clan not first propose how the Terminal Daoists might improve, but instead directly make such a significant decision? Surely you are aware this is unquestionably severing the unity of our world. Especially now... when we have a common enemy, Fan Wubing."

At the mention of Fan Wubing, the crowd seemed to simmer like brewing thunder, eager to erupt.

The people from Little South Continent felt a chill in their hearts, as their gazes turned stern.

Luo Qingyao stared intently at Celestial Venerable Baiyu. She thought to herself, as expected, this was brought up. Ever since Gu Lan announced their major decision, she had been contemplating how things might unfold.

She instinctively looked toward Gu Lan, curious to see how her senior sister would respond.

Gu Lan’s azure eyes remained unruffled,

"I believe this world has been united before, either when the Immortal Path first collapsed, or during the war between Heaven and Man. But all that has changed. If the Terminal Daoists and ordinary seekers are not of one mind, then where is the unity? If the White Jade Capital merely seeks to control all forces, then where is the unity?"

Her voice deepened another pitch, directing the accusation toward White Jade Capital.

The sharp, opposing gazes, emitted an invisible aura.

Celestial Venerable Baiyu chuckled,

"I cannot help but wonder, what caused the change in the Farmer Clan? The Farmer Clan of the past never believed that the Terminal Daoists and ordinary seekers weren’t of one mind. After all, the Farmer Clan has collaborated with many forces of the Terminal Daoists. When did the change begin? Perhaps, it started after Qinkong Da Feng Immortal joined."

Gu Lan did not take the bait,

"Change doesn’t happen overnight. The decision made by the Farmer Clan was carefully considered. This consideration spans thousands of years. It is out of unwillingness to witness Terminal Daoists muddy the grand path and oppress our kind, that we painfully made such a decision."

"Such heart-wrenching words!" Celestial Venerable Baiyu’s intense eyes flashed with brilliance, "In that case, why was it not Taozhu Da Feng Immortal and others, who have deliberated over thousands of years, to make the announcement, but you? What makes you so special? Is it because... you come from Little South Continent, from the Eternal Immortal Sect, or... because you have a very close relationship with Fan Wubing?"

The aggression in his words almost materialized into a sharp blade.

At that moment, Luo Qingyao finally understood the reason for White Jade Capital’s sudden change of personnel.

If it had been Man’Er present, she would never have said these things.

Clearly, White Jade Capital had anticipated the Farmer Clan’s intentions in advance. They wanted to bind Fan Wubing to the Farmer Clan’s decision, inherently casting a shadow on its legitimacy.

What to do?

Luo Qingyao knew very well that, due to Wubing’s temperament, he would never interfere with the Farmer Clan’s decision. This was pure defamation, intending to drag both the Farmer Clan and Fan Wubing into the abyss.

She wanted to stand up and say something.

But her position did not permit it. As Fan Wubing’s Dao companion, the protector of the Little South Continent faction... speaking from such a position would only complicate matters.

Celestial Venerable Baiyu asked with a smile,

"Did Fan Wubing participate in the Farmer Clan’s decision? Or rather, did Fan Wubing direct Qinkong Da Feng Immortal to interfere with the Farmer Clan’s plans?"

The four Da Feng Immortals under the stage, upon hearing such words, couldn’t help but become enraged.

They could not accept Celestial Venerable Baiyu’s blatant slander, such labeling!

They were about to vehemently refute when Gu Lan spoke,

"First of all, I deeply love Fan Wubing, which is a fact I need not hide; secondly, I do not see him as the world’s enemy, he is merely White Jade Capital’s enemy. To those present who aren’t isolated from the world, you must know of Fan Wubing’s deeds over the years. He first vindicated the Eternal Night Snow Mountain in the Changsheng Continent, then helped the return of Daiyu Immortal Mountain in the Sea of Eternal Life, subsequently killing the Flesh Demon Lord, Charm Demon Lord, Beast Demon Lord, and Rot Demon Lord, and not long ago, he shattered the barrier at Sun-shooting Pass on Sword Continent, allowing Sword Cultivators to experience the Sword Intent of great predecessors from the war between Heaven and Man.

Gu Lan looked at the crowd,

"How can such actions make him the world’s enemy? Killing Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, was simply because White Jade Capital couldn’t tolerate him. But when White Jade Capital cannot tolerate someone, does that person become the enemy of the world? Not necessarily, does White Jade Capital consider itself the master of this world? Celestial Venerable Baiyu, is White Jade Capital the master of the world?"

Celestial Venerable Baiyu furrowed his brow, "Such nonsense."

"In that case, why is Fan Wubing the enemy of the world?"

Luo Qingyao’s heart was ablaze. She completely reevaluated Gu Lan; she had not expected that the gentle Senior Sister Gu Lan, who had never uttered a harsh word, could so succinctly throw the question back at Celestial Venerable Baiyu.

Celestial Venerable Baiyu said,

"Everyone knows he’s a Celestial Slayer. He defied the Heavenly Dao."

"But what harm has he caused to everyone?" Gu Lan replied, "The reason you all fear him is because you are Terminal Daoists. His existence makes you feel that your status and interests are severely threatened. Ultimately, your opposition to him is not for the world, but for yourselves."

Celestial Venerable Baiyu said,

"The bustling world belongs to the Heavenly Dao. Fan Wubing defies the Heavenly Dao, is he not defying the Heavenly Dao?"

"The Heavenly Dao is the collective will of all beings. Since Fan Wubing has never harmed all beings, why say he defies the Heavenly Dao?"
