Chapter 770: Exposing the Truth (Part 2)
Facing the accusations and curses of the old monk Hui Ming and others, Gao Fei remained composed, continuing to speak calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask the grandmaster. Ask him if what I'm saying is true or not."
"Shut your mouth!" the old monk Hui Ming yelled angrily. "If you dare to slander the grandmaster again, I'll show you no mercy!"
"Come on, then," Gao Fei said with a smile. "If you have the guts, come out and kill me. Hurry up and do it." With Duanmu Hong protecting him, he wasn't afraid of the old monk Hui Ming.
"You…" The old monk Hui Ming was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Gao Fei looked up at the grandmaster Xuan Si, noticing that his face had turned very ugly. Paying close attention, one could even see that Xuan Si's shoulders were trembling slightly. Gao Fei instantly felt reassured; clearly, these old events had greatly shaken the grandmaster. Hmm, just keep pushing, continue to provoke him!
"Uh…" Gao Fei cleared his throat and continued, "Liang Feiqing, do you even count as human? Ah! You could abandon your own wife and son, how could you be so heartless? The most infuriating part is that when you left, you didn't even say goodbye. You simply vanished into thin air! Have you ever thought about it, huh? After you left, how would your wife and son live? How could you leave them to live as widows and orphans!!!"
The grandmaster Xuan Si's face grew uglier by the second, scenes from the past flickering continuously in his mind…
"And your parents, was it easy for them to raise you until you grew up? Not long after you left, they died, you killed them with your own Qi!"
"How could there be someone like you in this world? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"Even if you wanted to Cultivate Immortality, you shouldn't abandon your wife and son, then also cause the death of your parents, right?"
"After you left, your parents were gone, how was your wife supposed to live with a young son? Do you know? Back then, there were many bullies and ruffians who harassed your wife, unable to bear the humiliation, she ultimately took your son and committed suicide by poison!"
"Liang Feiqing! Your sins are grave!"
"You are not human! You are a beast!!!"
"Don't you have nightmares every night when you sleep? Aren't you afraid that your parents, wife, and son will come to claim your life!!"
"How can you still have the face to live! Why don't you just die!!!" Gao Fei's voice grew louder and more furious with each word until his last exclamation was almost a roar, so loud that everyone in the Myriad Buddhas Sect could hear him clearly.
The face of the grandmaster Xuan Si turned from green to white, his breathing rapid, his body shaking uncontrollably. It was evident that his emotions were tumultuous at this moment; it took him a hundred thousand years to bury these unpleasant memories deep in his mind, but today Gao Fei had exposed them... The sealed memories flooded out like a torrent, instantly filling his entire brain…
The images of his parents, wife, and son became more and more vivid.
"Liang Feiqing! I'm asking you just one question, do you regret it!!!" Gao Fei shouted. "If you were given a chance to choose again, would you leave without a word!!! Answer me!!! If you have even a shred of conscience, answer me!!! Do you have any regrets at all!!!"
The old monk Hui Ming was frantic. "You shut your mouth..."
"I… re… regret…" Suddenly, the grandmaster Xuan Si began to speak, stuttering as some of his functions had deteriorated from a lack of use, but everyone could still understand him clearly.
"Ah!" The old monk Hui Ming's complexion drastically changed. "Grandmaster…" It's over! The grandmaster's practice of Silent Zen had been broken.
Abbot Xuan Si and the others also wore expressions of grief and indignation, glaring furiously at Gao Fei; if looks could kill, Gao Fei wouldn't know how many times he had died.
"He spoke!" Gao Fei's eyes lit up. "He finally spoke!"
"Hahaha!" He Hentian jumped with joy, raising his arms and cheering, "Motherfucker, we finally succeeded."
Duanmu Hong's tense heart slowly relaxed as he let out a stifled breath, "Gao Fei, well done! Once the Silent Zen is broken, their strength will greatly diminish, and then I will be able to defeat him easily." Once he defeated Xiaozu Tianji, no one in the Myriad Buddhas Sect could stop Duanmu Hong anymore.
"Ah..." Xiaozu Tianji let out a long sigh as he gazed up to the heavens, "I so regret... I regret it to death... Blinded by the prospect of Cultivating Immortality, I never gave a thought to my parents, wife, and son... I abandoned them for the sake of cultivation, and even though I went back later, wanting to make amends, by the time I returned, they were already dead... In a fit of rage, I killed everyone who had ever bullied my wife and hung their bodies on the city gates to rot in the sun..." Saying this, Xiaozu Tianji suddenly covered his face and broke down in tears, "If only time could flow backwards... Wuuu... I regret it..."
There, in front of his disciples, the old monk who was the Xiaozu from a hundred millennia ago, was weeping inconsolably.
The people of the Myriad Buddhas Sect stood aghast...
"Look! The energy around Xiaozu is weakening." Someone shouted out.
Everyone hurriedly looked up and indeed saw Xiaozu Tianji's energy rapidly declining, as if it were air escaping from a punctured tire...
"I knew this would happen," the old monk Hui Ming's vision darkened, and he nearly fainted, but fortunately, he was supported by a disciple next to him. With a hoarse voice, Hui Ming said, "Xiaozu's cultivation of Silent Zen is broken, decades of effort destroyed in an instant, and his strength will also drop significantly."
"Ah? What should we do then?"
"With Xiaozu's strength diminished, can he still subdue the demoness?"
"Definitely not now."
"It's over, it's all over, the Myriad Buddhas Sect is done for."
The disciples of the Myriad Buddhas Sect were in a panic, unsure of what to do next.
Xiaozu Tianji, already emotionally shattered and in complete disarray, had no mind to care about the life and death of the Myriad Buddhas Sect's disciples. He just kept crying bitterly, occasionally letting out howls to vent the sorrow and pain in his heart.
"Go! Charge in!" Duanmu Hong took to the air and headed towards the Myriad Buddhas Sect.
Gao Fei and He Hentian quickly followed.
"Stop them! Stop them quickly!" Hui Ming shouted loudly, "Xiaozu, Xiaozu wake up!!! The enemy has breached our defenses!!!"
"Wuuu... Dad, Mom, my wife, my son... I'm sorry..." Xiaozu Tianji ignored Hui Ming, continuing to cry incessantly.
"Xiaozu!!!" Hui Ming was frantic, "Come to your senses!!!"
"Bang, bang, bang!!"
Duanmu Hong charged in front, breaking into the Myriad Buddhas Sect and striking down anyone he encountered, whether elder or disciple, none could stop Duanmu Hong's advance. Soon, Duanmu Hong reached Hui Ming's side: "Old baldy, die!" Duanmu Hong struck out swiftly with a palm strike, hitting Hui Ming square in the back.
"Pfft!" Hui Ming, like a kite whose string had snapped, flew outwards, spitting a mouthful of blood midair. "Bang!" He hit the ground hard, his head lolling to the side, and passed out on the spot.
"Those in my way shall perish!" Duanmu Hong sent all the monks blocking his way flying, then he attacked Xiaozu Tianji.
With Xiaozu Tianji's Silent Zen broken and his strength drastically reduced, and his spirit fragmented, he was no match for Duanmu Hong at this moment. With just one palm, Duanmu Hong sent Xiaozu Tianji flying with a single blow.
