Chapter 1262 - 818: (Thanks to "Qing Zhi zl" for Rewarding the Alliance Hierarch)_4
"At worst, we’ll just have another civil war."
Li Feng looked into the other’s eyes and seemed to see immense determination. At this moment, he suddenly developed a hint of confidence in the Demon Path’s just use.
He thought to himself, "If the sect had more people like Senior Sister Taizhen, perhaps the Demon Path’s justified use isn’t impossible...
This major case seems to be just the beginning. As the intensity of the war escalates, Li Feng and Yun Taizhen can find more and more people crossing the line.
Initially, perhaps it was just slaughtering criminals.
Later, it began with blood sacrifices of prisoners of war, blood sacrifices of Demonic Disciples.
And then, it escalated to using mortals raised by the Demon Sect...
Especially after an elder, who once repelled a Demonic master and had significant contributions, was arrested for something minor like soul extraction refining, more people expressed dissatisfaction with the Demon Supervision Hall... especially with Yun Taizhen.
"Yun Taizhen, while everyone is fighting the Demon Path on the front line, are you going after your own people in the back?"
"For just a few mortals, how many sect disciples have you arrested?"
"Without us risking our lives with the demon spawn at the front, could you sit safely at the back and supervise?"
"It’s just a small sacrifice of mortals, isn’t it? Without us, they would have been captured by the Demon Path long ago. So what if some are sacrificed now?"
Facing these repeated questions and challenges, Li Feng fearfully discovered that even he was beginning to waver.
"Do we really need to confront those of our sect who risk their lives to protect us simply for the sake of those mortals?"
Yun Taizhen laughed heartily and said, "Xiao Feng, this is the Demon Path, following the heart’s desire, acting on its course."
"The distinction between righteous and demonic lies within the heart alone."
"What we need to do is become that boundary, constantly reminding our sect members to uphold the Righteous Path."
Li Feng looked intently at Yun Taizhen, only feeling that the other seemed forever composed and reliable, so cheerful, and never discouraged or retreating in the face of any problem.
But he knew that as the Hall Master of the Demon Supervision Hall, she bore pressures far beyond his own, with many elders already impeaching her.
At this moment, Li Feng developed a sense.
"Compared to before, when the masters opposed the Demon Path’s justified use, ultimately leading to a civil war, the just use of the Demon Path itself is a road a hundred or a thousand times harder."
"But as long as there are people like Senior Sister Taizhen and Brother Ying Xin, this path is not without hope."
Yun Taizhen patted Li Feng’s shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Feng, hang in there, the Sect Leader and others are already fully assimilating the Demon Path technology."
"Once the Sect Leader and others extract its essence and discard its dross to complete the Wanfa Sect’s own Immortal Dao Technology reform, everything will get better..."
"By then, methods like blood sacrifices and soul extraction will be eliminated, and perhaps the Demon Path could even transform into the Righteous Path."
Looking at Yun Taizhen’s slightly protruding belly, Li Feng, with concern, said, "Senior Sister, rest more these days."
Yun Taizhen smiled, touched her belly, and said, "Just carrying a child, not much harder than a bowel movement."
Li Feng said, "Brother Ying is worried about you..."
Yun Taizhen waved her hand, and in the next moment, she transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the horizon.
Afterward, Li Feng continued to assist Yun Taizhen in overseeing matters inside and outside, only to feel the situation turning increasingly dire.
The cultivators on the front line were becoming more and more reluctant to cooperate with their work, and the elders and disciples in the sect were beginning to trouble them either intentionally or unintentionally, making investigations increasingly difficult.
In the Wanfa Sect, where he had grown up, Li Feng felt that everything had become so unfamiliar.
It was as if invisible walls surrounded him tightly, little by little compressing the space around him, leaving him nowhere to go and making it hard to breathe.
Unknowingly, Li Feng realized he was struggling to move forward within the sect, and he couldn’t even imagine the pressure Yun Taizhen, as his superior, must be under.
Just as Li Feng felt he was about to reach his limit, a revolutionary technological breakthrough occurred.
