Chapter 1770: Chapter 1789: Losing Fairness

"Back in the Battlefield of Hundred Sons, you subdued me and Jun Wushuang with your supreme cultivation, and both of us willingly acknowledged you as our master, that’s beyond question."

"Following that, Jun Wushuang and I fought for you for years; even if we didn’t achieve great merit, we surely endured much hardship?" Li Taichu exclaimed in sorrow and anger.

"Indeed," Ye Xuan nodded in acknowledgment, for what Li Taichu said was true.

"But how did you treat the two of us?"

Li Taichu roared furiously, "Jun Wushuang and I have both ventured out with our own laws and paths, and we even possess the potential to become the supreme of all ages, yet you only cared about your disciple, Ye Fengtian, and even personally accompanied him in cultivation to train him into the supreme of the Eleventh Epoch."

"Did you ever consider Jun Wushuang and me?"

"Fine, even if Ye Fengtian is your direct disciple and you favor him, I, Li Taichu, refrain from saying much, but then what does Wan Hongling matter?"

"She is merely a minor cultivator, yet simply because she is Ye Fengtian’s wife, you imparted to her the Myriad Feet Red Dust Technique and even gave her the opportunity to take over the position of Humanity; what merit does she have to claim the opportunity for supreme might?"

"I refuse!"

Li Taichu howled hysterically and pointed fiercely at Jun Wushuang, "Jun Wushuang, I ask you, are you satisfied?"

"I...?" Jun Wushuang’s face was pale; she initially wanted to refute Li Taichu, but as the words reached her lips, she didn’t know how to counter, for deep down, she indeed felt discontent, albeit not as overtly as Li Taichu expressed.

"Master, did you see that?" Li Taichu chuckled bitterly.

At that moment, Ye Xuan was silent; he just calmly watched Li Taichu, no one knowing what he was contemplating.

"Master, Jun Wushuang and I have fought for you for years, and both of us possess the demeanor of the supreme, with our own laws and paths. These two supreme positions rightfully should have been ours. Why then can Ye Fengtian and Wan Hongling become supreme while Jun Wushuang and I are deemed ordinary?" Li Taichu lamented indignantly.

"Li Taichu, cease your evasion. I admit I do hold some dissatisfaction internally, but the master has his intentions; this is no reason for your betrayal," Jun Wushuang replied coldly.

"You have resigned to fate, but I, Li Taichu, refuse to accept it," Li Taichu shouted angrily.

"Master, do you recall how Jun Wushuang and I helped you encircle the Undying Heavenly Lord?"

Li Taichu regained composure, looking bitterly towards Ye Xuan.

"Continue," Ye Xuan said calmly.

For he knew that next, Li Taichu would reveal why he would take the position of the Undying Heavenly Lord.

"Back then, seven grandmasters encircled the Undying, beating him into destruction, spirit and form abolished. You ordered Jun Wushuang and I to obliterate the Undying Heavenly Palace, and from that annihilation, I obtained the Undying Immortal Scripture and the Chaos Heavenly Heart left behind by the Undying Heavenly Lord."

"Initially, you were puzzled why, after the death of the Undying Heavenly Lord, the Chaos Heavenly Heart didn’t appear. In truth, the Undying Heavenly Lord had long left the Chaos Heavenly Heart in the Undying Heavenly Palace, which ultimately fell into my possession."

Li Taichu paused slightly and then murmured to continue, "Originally, I planned to inform you of the Chaos Heavenly Heart and the Undying Immortal Scripture, but I concealed it because I knew this was my chance, a chance to become supreme."

"Actually, I’ve never betrayed you; if you had given Jun Wushuang and me an opportunity to become supreme back then, why would I need to reach this point today?" Li Taichu chuckled bitterly.

"You are saying I am unjust," Ye Xuan said heavily.

"Isn’t it so?" Li Taichu responded tremblingly.

Ye Xuan nodded slowly, "You’re right, Jun Wushuang and you have fought for me for years and contributed more than anyone else, moreover both of you ventured out with your own laws and paths, your Six Destruction Killings and Jun Wushuang’s Purple Extreme Heavenly Power can also transform into the strongest power."

"In this matter, I have indeed been unjust."

Ye Xuan conceded, acknowledging his unfairness in the matter, for in those days, he was focused solely on cultivation, how could he possibly care about these trivial matters?

"However, if everyone acted like you, then those wanting to betray and kill me would be numerous?"

"If speaking of injustice, the first person to betray me should be Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen, for the two of them have been by my side since youth, laying down countless dedicated efforts for me."

"If speaking of injustice, those who’ve been most wronged by me were these two. Both supreme positions should have gone to them, and not to you and Jun Wushuang, this isn’t your reason for betrayal," Ye Xuan stated coldly.

Li Taichu was speechless, stunned on the spot!

Indeed, regarding merit, even Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen didn’t claim the strongest positions, how could he and Jun Wushuang compare with these two?

"But Fatty Huang and Gu Beichen have never thought of betrayal, always loyally following me, never having a single complaint due to my injustices."

Ye Xuan paused slightly at this point, deep eyes fixed on Li Taichu, "And don’t forget, back at the Battlefield of Hundred Sons, it was I who spared your life, your life long ago belonged to me, Ye Xuan, you have no right to ask anything of me. Because you are a servant, I am the master, even if I’m unjust, if I demand your death, you must die; this is the way of master and servant."

Boom!

As Ye Xuan’s words reached his ears, Li Taichu staggered back, face ashen pale, and the mere four words ’way of master and servant’ left him speechless on the spot.

"Master and servant?"

"Yes, you are the master, I am the servant, hahaha, I was too foolish, attempting to overstep the way of master and servant?"

Suddenly, Li Taichu laughed forlornly, entirely desolate, realizing he had forgotten, regardless of his accomplishments, his identity was merely Ye Xuan’s servant.

"Kill me then."

Li Taichu smiled miserably, unable to contest merely due to the way of master and servant.

For he knew Ye Xuan’s demeanor, hiding the Chaos Heavenly Heart from Ye Xuan, and even opposing Ye Xuan upon his return, nearly allying with fate against Ye Xuan, this was a sin worthy of death.

"Sending you on your way!"

Rumble!

Ye Xuan spoke mercilessly, raising his five fingers abruptly, delivering a suppressing strike towards Li Taichu, who didn’t resist, his face showing a look of release.

For he knew, even if he resisted, it would be utterly futile, the result would still be death.

Boom!

This strike directly blasted Li Taichu’s flesh apart, the surrounding power of silence annihilation shattering away, the entire person crashing to the ground, lifeless.

Buzz!

Ye Xuan glanced at Li Taichu coldly, before disappearing from the Extreme Demon Heavenly Palace with no further hesitation.

"Taichu!"

Jun Wushuang’s fair fists clenched, eyes filled with sorrow, despite secretly hating Li Taichu for his ruthless attack years ago.

Yet the two had known each other for many years, truly witnessing Li Taichu’s tragic death before her, also incited indescribable heartache within Jun Wushuang.
