Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 633 - 620: Rectifying the Creation Gate_3

"Jiang Yufeng, this is clearly because you hold a grudge against me for offending you in Baihe City, and you seek to settle personal scores under the guise of justice!"

Ye Yunguang said indignantly.

"So it looks like there’s no reason, just simply defiance?"

Gu Jinlai slowly stepped forward: "Then die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed at Ye Yunguang in the air.

Already seriously wounded, Ye Yunguang felt as if a crushing force capable of grinding him to dust enveloped his entire body, this power...

Was more than twice as formidable as just before!

Ye Yunguang’s pupils widened suddenly.

Jiang Yufeng!? He really intended to kill him!?

He dared to kill him!?

And to do it in front of Supreme Elder Ye Yan, in front of his uncle!?

A sense of unprecedented terror surged into his heart, sweeping through his body.

"Auntie, Uncle Ye... save..."

"Stop!"

Ye Qingzhu also suddenly shouted.

Unfortunately...

Gu Jinlai’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

With his right hand clenched tight, Ye Yunguang screamed as his body seemed to be crushed by a terrifying power he had never felt before, and even before his blood could spurt out, he disintegrated into a lump of flesh and blood.

Then accompanied by the power of fierce flames sweeping over, he was directly incinerated to ashes.

Aside from a lingering burnt smell, not a trace of Ye Yunguang, a Void Immortal Elder of notable status, was left at the scene.

"Jiang Yufeng!"

Ye Qingzhu stared at him with eyes wide open, her whole body trembling slightly: "You... you... how could you dare!?"

"What do I have to fear."

Gu Jinlai calmly withdrew his hand, looking at her: "Don’t be anxious, it will soon be your turn."

Recalling how ruthlessly Gu Jinlai had just annihilated Ye Yunguang, Ye Qingzhu’s heart shuddered violently, and for the first time, a trace of fear arose in her mind.

And the remaining elders, seeing Gu Jinlai daring to kill a Ye Family elder so directly, were all astir, looking at him with shock now filled with awe.

"Big brother, are you just going to stand by and watch Jiang Yufeng go on a killing spree in our Creation Gate, disrupting the Sect’s unity and weakening its overall strength?"

Ye Qingzhu quickly turned her gaze to Ye Yan.

She had realized that at this moment, the only one who could stop Gu Jinlai was none other than Ye Yan, one of the Strongest True Immortals.

Ye Yan glanced at the spot where Ye Yunguang’s body had been, heaving a silent sigh. But thinking of the grim situation in Creation Gate, he forced himself not to dwell on it and said, "Since Jiang Yufeng has received the approval of both myself and Jiang Yujian, whatever he is going to do, I’ll naturally give my full support. If he wants to rectify the Sect and purify its order, I also hope that you all will cooperate properly."

After finishing, he looked sternly at Ye Qingzhu: "Think about what wrongs you’ve done over the years. Confess what should be confessed, retrieve what can be retrieved. Don’t continue down the wrong path. Otherwise, if you violate the Sect rules, you must be dealt with according to those rules, and even I won’t be able to save you."

Upon hearing this, all the Void Immortal Elders of the Ye lineage turned pale simultaneously.

Some couldn’t help showing fear on their faces.

Ye Qingzhu also trembled slightly, but then spoke with some resentment: "Confess what should be confessed? Retrieve what can be retrieved? It’s not that easy. If it weren’t for your silent support over the years, how could we have gotten to where we are today? Dealt with according to the Sect rules? If we really go by the rules, at least a hundred people among the elders and protectors in the entire Creation Gate would need to be dealt with."

"What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever support you?"

Ye Yan frowned and looked at Ye Qingzhu.

"If you had not turned a blind eye to our suppression of other elders, if you had not preserved us time and again when we made mistakes, clearly giving us tacit support, how could our actions get bolder, and how could we have gotten into the current predicament!? Isn’t it because you allowed us to drive out the Void Immortals and protectors who are not from the Ye lineage from the core of the Creation Gate?"

Ye Qingzhu shouted angrily.

Hearing her absurd accusations, Ye Yan was stunned: "Protecting you is my mistake now?"

At that moment, he finally understood the principle of ingratitude.

His face, the face of the Venerable Daoist of Creation Gate, couldn’t help but reveal a trace of pain: "Why has it come to this..."

"One judges by deeds, not intentions. If you have a clear conscience, Ye Yan, you needn’t carry the burden of guilt any further. Those with deceitful hearts always suspect others of deceit; they will never understand the concept of absolute impartiality."

Gu Jinlai spoke indifferently.

Ye Yan had issues, but it wasn’t his character that was at fault, but his ability.

The fact that he was willing to hand over the position of Sect Leader to Jiang Yujian and even planned on giving him control of the Creation Heaven Dao once he became a True Immortal showed that he was indeed a man of fairness.

It was merely because the capable ones perished sixty years ago, and in a group of shorter individuals, the relatively taller one was chosen. His lack of management skills forced him to take up the mantle of Venerable Daoist of Creation Gate, deciding the Sect’s direction, leading to its decline.

"Deceitful scoundrel!?"

Ye Qingzhu fumed: "Everything I did was for the sake of the Ye Family..."

"No, you are but leeches attached to the body of Creation Gate."

Gu Jinlai interrupted her words: "I have studied the history of Creation Gate. The founder of Creation Gate was not surnamed Ye. Your Ye Family started to grow three thousand years ago and only after the internal conflict sixty years ago did you become dominant, turning into the biggest cancer of Creation Gate. If you really believe that everything you’ve done is for the Ye Family, and think so highly of yourselves, I’ll give you a chance..."
