Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Chapter 471 I Wait Without Regret or Resentment [4/5]

"It’s not that the Eastern Taizhong Palace is cruel, it’s that you have fallen too deep into depravity!"

Immortal Seekers from other forces watched in silence. The Heavenly King stepped forward, his words dripping with self-righteousness. He emitted an overwhelming pressure that made the people of Peach Blossom Spring feel as though they were suffocating. The elderly gritted their teeth and endured, while many of the children began to cry.

An old woman immediately shouted, "Even if we have fallen to evil... our children are innocent! Can’t you..."

"No!" the Heavenly King cut her off. "A wildfire never truly burns out; new weeds sprout in the spring breeze. How could I not understand that principle?"

His face was a mask of agony as he continued, "How could I not know the children are the most innocent? But they have surely been in contact with Wu Tian and have been unconsciously influenced. A latent ferocity is hidden in their very bones. If they grow up, they are certain to become demons!"

As he spoke, tears actually streamed from his eyes. "For the sake of countless other innocents, I must kill these children! Don’t blame me. Please, don’t blame me. I, too, am heartbroken... My heart is full of pain and sorrow..."

The people of Peach Blossom Spring were enraged. The old woman from before trembled with anger. "Demons? And how are you so certain Mr. Wu Tian is a demon?"

The Heavenly King’s brow twitched, but he maintained his righteous air. "Young Master Zhao Tianxia was a man of chivalry, a rare gem among Immortal Seekers and a future pillar of the Righteous Path. He performed good deeds without seeking recognition, a man of immense virtue. He wielded his sword across the land, killing as many demons as there were roads he traveled! Though he is dead, his name lives on, forever in our hearts. So young, yet he commanded our deepest respect!"

Beiming Fenghua: "..."

Even the disciples of the Eastern Taizhong Palace: "..."

The Heavenly King himself felt sick to his stomach. He wanted to vomit at his own words! But he had no choice. He knew this speech would surely spread. It didn’t matter if others laughed behind his back. Who would dare mock him to his face? The crucial part was that the Righteous Alliance would hear of this. They would undoubtedly be pleased.

The members of the Eastern Taizhong Palace, the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the spectating Immortal Seekers all looked utterly constipated, but none dared to say the Heavenly King was wrong. If the Righteous Alliance came for them, they could be branded as demons and disposed of. As powerful as Immortal Seekers were compared to mortals, they didn’t have that kind of courage.

The people of Peach Blossom Spring had never practiced Cultivation. They were ordinary people, but they had courage!

"That scum Zhao Tianxia, a ’Young Master’? He’s nothing but trash who harmed countless women!"

"A man of chivalry? A future pillar of the Righteous Path? Don’t make me laugh! Today, I’ve finally seen the true face of a so-called ’Righteous Path Immortal Seeker’!"

"You said one thing right: he did his deeds without leaving a name. Of course he wouldn’t, after committing so much evil!"

"How many good people did he kill? People who died simply because they wouldn’t submit to him, only to be branded as demons! Is a man like Zhao Tianxia even human?"

Death? What was there to fear? They were all going to die anyway. They might as well say whatever was on their minds! Why fear him!

"He died at Mr. Wu Tian’s hands! It was exactly what he deserved!"

Instantly, everyone in Peach Blossom Spring roared in a single, unified voice, "He deserved it!!!"

"He deserved it!!!"

Seeing the people of Peach Blossom Spring so willing to live and die for one another was a bitter irony to the Heavenly King. He, too, had once cherished chivalry. When had he become so cruel? He didn’t know. The longer he watched, the more his heart twisted. He had to cut this Gordian knot and end it now.
