Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Knowing the disparity in strength, they couldn't confront the opponent head-on, so they positioned themselves as victims and attempted to morally blackmail them.

He's trying to manipulate Hongyun, but without using anything that would be useful to her. For example, right now, he's trying to morally blackmail Hongyun—something that doesn't even exist. Can he really succeed in doing that?

Hongyun suppressed a laugh and said in a grand manner, "Our greatest sincerity and friendliness towards Western cultivators who have come from afar is to treat them fairly. We treat cultivators from both the East and the West equally, and we will never discriminate against fellow Daoists from the West, nor will we let them feel any loneliness in a foreign land."

Jieyin coughed up another mouthful of blood, but this time Tongtian was on guard, so that Jieyin's mouthful of blood had no lethality whatsoever.

Tongtian continued his scathing attack: "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, are you alright? How could you suffer a mental tribulation instead of breaking through, such a wonderful thing as a breakthrough! Cultivators cultivate not only their cultivation level and magical power, but also their mental state. Fellow Daoist Jieyin, your magical power is so profound, how could your mental state be so weak? Not only did you not break through, but your realm has also plummeted?"

Hongyun, with a profound expression, reasoned with Tongtian: "Tongtian, don't be so absolute. After all, not everyone is a good person. There are more than just one or two despicable, shameless, and malicious people. They are despised by many creatures in the prehistoric world. They only know jealousy and greed, so naturally they cannot overcome the tribulation of their inner demons."

Tongtian, feigning receptiveness, continued to provoke Jieyin and Zhunti: "No, no, no, I think such people are only a minority. Otherwise, how could they have incurred public wrath and been despised and ostracized wherever they go!"

Hongyun: "How do you know his exclusion is genuine? This kind of person is malicious and can't stand seeing others do well. He's jealous of other people's background, talent, cultivation, and magical treasures. He's never satisfied. If anything goes wrong, he'll think someone is bullying him."

With eyes full of resentment, Jieyin spat out another mouthful of blood. Zhunti frantically shouted at Hongyun and Tongtian, "Get out! Get out! You two, leave right now!"

Hongyun burst out laughing, and after a moment said, "Hey~ you two are a bit shameless! This is the Zixiao Palace in the Thirty-Third Heaven, where do you have the right to kick us out!"

"And you have no conscience. We only came over because we cared about you. Even if we didn't see eye to eye, you shouldn't have been so rude. Are all Western monks so polite and well-mannered?"

Instead of constantly mentioning how far they had come from the West, how impoverished the Western cultivators were, and how hard they worked, Hongyun simply separated the Eastern and Western cultivators and asked the Western cultivators to properly question Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Although Fellow Daoist Jieyin's cultivation level has dropped significantly, there's really no need to be so sad. Fellow Daoist Zhunti has broken through to Quasi-Saint, which is a good thing. Shouldn't Fellow Daoist Jieyin be happy for Fellow Daoist Zhunti?"

Hongyun recalled the drama "Empresses in the Palace," where Empress Yixiu's son died, yet she still happily congratulated her sister on her pregnancy the next day, which led to her turning evil and breaking her protective barrier. Now, she deliberately borrowed that incident to examine just how well Jieyin and Zhunti balance their emotions.

Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes indeed changed, and Hongyun pressed on:

"Which of you two is the senior brother? If it is Fellow Daoist Zhunti, that would be perfect. With a senior brother protecting his junior brother, even if Fellow Daoist Jieyin has made countless enemies and is disliked and despised by most of the prehistoric beings, with Fellow Daoist Zhunti's protection, he will most likely survive."
