All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 166: Don’t Be Afraid, Disciples—Master Will Carry You (58)

"This is just on the arm; there’s much more covered by clothes," Chu Pingyu continued, tears streaming down his face, "Chu Qianyan, has your cultivation consumed all your conscience?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Everyone looked at the pitiful state of the Chu Family’s two elders. As Chu Pingyu spoke, the two wiped away tears, wearing expressions of bitterness and helplessness, evoking unprovoked sympathy.

They were used to killing and seizing treasures, but confronting their own kin, they couldn’t resort to such heartless actions, especially against two elderly people who couldn’t even truss a chicken.

"Chu Qianyan, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution for your actions?" Chu Pingyu raised his voice, "Do you really think that after committing such sins, the heavens are blind to your deeds?"

Chu Chengxi: "Daidi, I raised you in vain. It’s bad enough you drove us away, but to torture us like this."

"What did we ever do to wrong you?" Yang Fengxiang cried, collapsing on the ground, "What a bitter fate I have, to have raised such an unfilial daughter. I thought cultivating would lead to better days, but who could have foreseen such an outcome? If I had known, I wouldn’t have come here; I could have enjoyed my twilight years and entered my grave sooner. It’s cultivation that’s caused all of this. If it weren’t for cultivation, my eldest daughter wouldn’t have developed such a heartless nature."

"When you’ve lost your conscience, what good is immortality?" Chu Chengxi wept bitterly.

Chu Pingyu, with a face full of resentment, looked up: "Chu Qianyan, say something, will you? What, are you afraid now?"

Chu XiaoYuee remained silent. The three of them were enough; she didn’t want to draw any hostility, lest Chu Qianyan decided to deal with her.

"Afraid?" Qianyan’s tone was indifferent, "Why should I be afraid? It’s those who are guilty that should fear. If I did nothing wrong, how would the heavens strike me down?"

"Chu Qianyan, isn’t the evidence right in front of you? Do you still want to argue?" Chu Pingyu did not believe that Chu Qianyan could escape condemnation today; everyone saw the two elderly people’s predicament.

Qianyan stepped in front of the Chu Family’s two elders: "When did you have your Spirit Root extracted?"

The Chu Family’s elders’ eyes were full of malice and viciousness as Chu Chengxi said, "Daidi, why pretend? Back when you sent us away, you came back less than half a month later to dig out our Spirit Root, whipping us daily. Everyone in the village saw it. You even said we deserved it for our mistakes, and everyone is a witness."

"I have an Image Stone here, full of testimonies from the villagers proving you extracted our Spirit Root and beat us, even forbidding them from taking care of us," Chu Pingyu took out the Image Stone, playing it for everyone to see.

"Yes, at that time, seeing my uncle and aunt rolling on the ground in pain, I thought she was too cruel. How could she treat her own parents like that, unafraid of heavenly retribution?"

"She only said the Old Master Chu couple made mistakes and were sent back to the mortal world, and since they returned, they shouldn’t have Spirit Root. With the ability of Old Master Chu’s couple, they helped the village a lot, but they caused trouble for the village by doing that."

"We mere mortals wouldn’t dare provoke her. She’s a formidable Immortal Master. Anger her, and our fates would be miserable; we might even lose our lives."

...

The villagers who witnessed the event all left messages in the Image Stone.

"Chu Qianyan, what else do you have to say?" Chu Pingyu seemed confident, glancing at Feiyun Zhenren on the side, "Sect Leader, do you still plan to protect such a depraved person?"

Feiyun Zhenren: Did he speak?
