You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

"That's ridiculous!"

Gu Changyuan let out a cold snort, and the pressure emanating from his body suddenly intensified several times.

"puff"

This time, no one could hold back.

Those self-proclaimed righteous senior brothers gushed blood from their mouths like a fountain, splattering it all over the ground.

Zhao Ping'an was in an even worse state; his face had turned a deep purplish-red, and his breathing was extremely disordered.

At this moment, Zhao Ping'an was both shocked and resentful: as a true disciple, he was always the center of attention and adored by everyone. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

But in front of Gu Changyuan, he felt as insignificant as an insect, his life and death entirely out of his control.

Gu Changyuan didn't even move an inch.

Gu Changyuan simply raised one hand slowly, the movement as casual as if he were merely brushing dust off his shoulder.

Then, he pressed his palm downwards.

"Buzz!"

A loud explosion rang out!

In the void, an invisible giant hand suddenly solidified, carrying the force to crush mountains and collapse peaks, and crashed down.

The bones of the disciples immediately creaked and cracked, the pressure far exceeding the physical pain and penetrating deep into their souls.

Some people trembled violently, and their crotches suddenly became wet; they were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.

Gu Changyuan watched coldly, his disgust growing ever more pronounced.

"waste."

"With this kind of character, you dare call yourself a true disciple? You dare talk about so-called justice here?"

Gu Changyuan withdrew his hand and scanned the entire room with his gaze.

"cover?"

"You dare utter those two words before my holy son?"

"A bunch of ignorant fools, their minds stuffed with chaff, dare to mention sect rules?"

"I really don't know who gave you the courage to make a Nascent Soul cultivator apologize to you?"

After he finished speaking, no one dared to respond.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I dare not, and I'm ashamed to do so.

Gu Changyuan sneered and spoke again:

"You keep saying that Qin Shuang stole that junior sister's Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Then I'd like to ask where the evidence is?"

"Just because that junior sister said she saw Qin Shuang enter her room?"

"Just because she cried a few times and shed a few tears?"

"Is a single statement enough to be considered evidence?"

"Have you wasted decades of cultivation? Don't you even have this basic ability to discern right from wrong?"

"Or perhaps... you've been blinded by her looks and are willing to be used as a tool?"

Gu Changyuan's words were like needles, pricking people until their faces turned red.

Zhao Ping'an pressed his head firmly against the ground, his fingernails digging into the cracks in the jade bricks, leaving a bloody mess.

At this moment, he hated Gu Changyuan's ruthlessness even more, and hated himself even more for insisting on taking the lead.

But at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to raise his head.

Gu Changyuan, however, had no intention of giving up.

He took a step forward:

"To put it another way..."

"Even if this is true, even if Qin Shuang really took the Foundation Establishment Pill, so what?"

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Gu Changyuan in disbelief.

Is this blatantly condoning robbery?

……

Shocked

None of the disciples present dared to stand up and refute Gu Changyuan's words.

The mere presence of a terrifying pressure emanating from them was enough to scare them away from having the courage.

Gu Changyuan, however, paid no heed to the gazes around him, his eyes flashing like lightning as he swept over the crowd:

"Where is this place? It's the world of cultivation!"

"Where is there absolute fairness here? Only the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and might reigns supreme!"

"Regardless of sect or faction, regardless of strength, that is the only true principle!"

"If someone could truly cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul stage using only a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

"If he truly possesses such extraordinary talent..."

"Let alone punishment from the sect, even if the patriarch were to emerge from seclusion, he would probably open the treasure vault and give her all the Foundation Establishment Pills, begging her to take them and use them!"

"Why? Because they are prodigies, monsters!"

"And what about you?"

"A bunch of mediocre people, do they even deserve to talk about morality and rules?"

The words left his lips, echoing like the resounding toll of bells and the reverberation of a tripod, lingering for a long time.

Though cruel and harsh, it tears open the bloodiest reality of the cultivation world.

In the face of absolute power, all rules are nothing more than cages drawn by the strong for the weak.

The outer disciples were stunned. Although they felt that this statement was contrary to common sense, they had to admit that if they had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, who in the world would dare to judge right and wrong?

Gu Changyuan looked at the group of people standing there dumbfounded, shook his head, and revealed his sarcasm.

"Let alone the fact that Senior Sister Qin is already at the Nascent Soul stage, she wouldn't bother stealing a mere Foundation Establishment Pill."

Anyone with a brain knows this is absurd.

Even if she truly needs this Foundation Establishment Pill, even if she only uses it to improve her cultivation, she should still use it as a treat.

Gu Changyuan pointed at the crowd on the ground, then pointed towards Chen Yueyao cowering in the distance:

"With her abilities, with her divine realm, with her true lineage..."

"Need to steal?"

"joke!"

After speaking, he suddenly turned around.

His cold eyes fixed directly on Chen Yueyao, who was hiding behind others.

At this moment, Chen Yueyao was completely pale and trembling uncontrollably.

Under Gu Changyuan's overwhelming pressure, her schemes and pretense melted away like snow meeting boiling water.

The smugness of having control over the whole situation and manipulating people's hearts has long since vanished.

Only fear penetrates to the bone.

Especially when Gu Changyuan's gaze fell upon her, his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce through her very soul, revealing all the filth in her heart.

She instinctively took a half step back, trying to find cover, but there was no one behind her.

Those senior brothers who had once protected her were now all prostrate on the ground, unable to rise.

Gu Changyuan approached step by step.

Every step he took seemed to tread on her heart.

Finally, he stopped in front of her, looking down at her as if she were an ant.

That would be blatant robbery.

"You bitch, what right do you have to refuse?"

"What? You're speechless?"

Gu Changyuan kicked Chen Yueyao directly, and Chen Yueyao rolled dozens of meters along the ground.

This was even with Gu Changyuan holding back. If he hadn't, that simple kick could have killed Chen Yueyao on the spot.

Then, Gu Changyuan turned his attention to Zhao Ping'an. Among all the senior brothers and disciples, this person was the most conspicuous.

Gu Changyuan slowly moved forward and stood in front of Zhao Ping'an, looking down at him.

"Raise your head."

Zhao Ping'an's body stiffened, and after struggling for a long time, he slowly lifted his face, which was covered in dust and blood.

The jade brick fragments were embedded in his flesh, making him look disheveled and his previous arrogance was long gone.

"Just now, weren't you saying you wanted to seek justice for Junior Sister Yueyao?"

"Now, I'll give you a chance. If you can withstand one of my fingers without falling, I will let bygones be bygones."

Zhao Ping'an's pupils contracted sharply as he caught a finger.

That invisible palm strike just now almost crushed all his will to resist.

Zhao Ping'an's lips trembled, his throat bobbed, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"What, you're afraid?"

"Where is your justice? Where is your courage?"

Then, Gu Changyuan straightened up, no longer looking at Zhao Ping'an who was slumped on the ground, and his gaze swept over the silent crowd.

"Are you worthy to challenge me, the Holy Son, in upholding heavenly principles?"
