Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems
Chapter 196 The Last Night
Elder Dachang's study.
Chi Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion, with Tang Tian and Li Tianhua standing around him.
After Tang Tian's conditioning, Chi Yuan's condition had stabilized for the most part.
His life was no longer burning, and his soul was no longer in madness.
But he still hadn't fully regained his consciousness.
The inner demon had completely taken over his soul and thoughts, caused by Chi Yuan's inner obsession. Only he himself could rely on it. Even if others had great abilities, they couldn't help him recover from the past.
"Sigh..."
Li Tianhua sighed heavily.
"He has been living in regret and pain for over a hundred years."
"After such a long time, he finally managed to suppress his obsession deep down, but unexpectedly, the inner demon still broke through."
"And this time, the backlash from the inner demon is unprecedented."
Tang Tian had no expression on his face as he asked in a calm voice, "So what caused Elder Chi to suddenly trigger the inner demon and become like this?"
Li Tianhua was suddenly stunned, as if in an instant, he thought of many things.
After a long while, he sighed deeply again.
"It's Zhulin Daoist."
"That is a hurdle that Chi Yuan can never cross."
"Back then, Chi Yuan was tempted and insisted on obtaining the position of deputy sect master within the sect."
"Most of the people who supported him had ulterior motives."
"But Zhulin Daoist truly supported him becoming the deputy sect master."
Li Tianhua spoke slowly, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
"At that time, he indeed had a great opportunity, or rather, he was just one step away."
"But later, a war for power broke out, and the sect was engulfed in a terrible fire. Chi Yuan finally realized that he had been used."
"But even so, Zhulin Daoist still used his own power to forcefully stabilize everything for him and paved the way for him. He only needed to gather his courage and take the final step forward."
"However, Chi Yuan retreated."
"It was also because of his retreat that Zhulin Daoist was besieged by many powerful individuals and fell into a quagmire, ultimately dying tragically."
"And before his death, Zhulin Daoist helped Chi Yuan resolve a large part of his troubles, allowing him to escape the punishment of the Heavenly Mansion."
"For Chi Yuan, Zhulin Daoist was his close friend, his master, his guide in life, and the savior of his destiny."
"But because of this, he has always been haunted by Zhulin Daoist's death, unable to let go, and ultimately fell completely into the inner demon."
Listening to Li Tianhua recounting the past history, Tang Tian couldn't help but fall silent.
It was indeed difficult to overcome the guilt of causing someone's unfortunate death due to one's own actions.
Without experiencing Chi Yuan's experiences, it was difficult to understand the feelings he had as the person involved.
Perhaps over a hundred years ago, Chi Yuan did commit a great mistake.
But no matter what, it was not a reason for certain people to use him to attack themselves.
"Elder Dachang."
"You should know who is behind this, right?"
Tang Tian asked.
Li Tianhua paused for a moment, then nodded slowly.
There were quite a few people within the sect who knew about this matter, and there were also some who could use it to provoke Chi Yuan's inner demon.
But among these people, there was only one who had a reason to do so.
Lu Changge.
Tang Tian remained silent.
Under the current situation, it was almost certain that Lu Changge was behind this.
But from what Li Tianhua said, it seemed that he wasn't very clear about Lu Changge, who used to reside in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.
"Will the sect take action?"
Tang Tian didn't bring up the issue of Lu Changge's background and asked.
Li Tianhua sighed lightly and said, "After you stopped Chi Yuan, I sent Yun Kong to find Lu Changge."
"But it was in vain."
"I believe that no matter what purpose he wanted to achieve by using Chi Yuan, after you revealed your strength above the Immortal Realm, he will understand that all his methods will be completely ineffective."
"Since that's the case, I don't think you would choose to stay in the sect anymore, given the situation where the overall situation has already gone."
Tang Tian remained silent.
Lu Changge actually ran away so quickly.
But no matter what, even if Qingyue Sect catches him, he definitely has countless means to free himself from guilt.
At worst, he would just be expelled from Qingyue Sect.
Don't forget, he is the hall master of the Good and Evil Hall in Yunding Tianfu.
Just like Mo Xiaoxiao, even if the charges are confirmed, they can't do anything to him.
But Tang Tian wouldn't just let it go like this.
He hasn't known Chi Yuan for a long time, but he can clearly feel Chi Yuan's sincerity towards him.
Now, Chi Yuan has fallen into the abyss of his inner demons, and no one knows when he will wake up.
How can Tang Tian just let it be?
After a moment of silence, there was suddenly a knock on the door from outside.
Li Tianhua opened the door, and a familiar figure walked in.
It was the young sect master, Yun Kong.
Then, Li Tianhua glanced at Tang Tian and walked out on his own, leaving them alone in the room.
Yun Kong stepped forward and stood beside Tang Tian.
"Lu Changge... should have escaped back to Tianfu."
"I can't contact him now."
He said in a low voice.
Tang Tian didn't say anything.
He knew that Yun Kong and Lu Changge had been cooperating privately, and now that even he couldn't find Lu Changge, it was highly likely that he wouldn't come back.
After a moment of silence, Yun Kong spoke again, "You should know that I have always supported him before."
"The incident with Du Yuanqing was also planned by him and me together."
"But this time... he really went too far."
"No matter what, he shouldn't have reached out to Master Chi Feng."
"After tonight's incident, no one dares to stand on his side anymore."
"That position is left for you alone."
Tang Tian still didn't respond.
He wasn't really concerned about that position in the first place. He had already decided that if he successfully obtained that position, he would give it to someone else, someone who had hoped to get that position.
But that person was now unconscious.
After a long while, Tang Tian asked, "If I hadn't successfully stopped Chi Yuan today, would the situation have changed?"
Yun Kong furrowed his brows slightly and then shook his head.
"No."
"Lu Changge has crossed the line, which proves that he has basically lost his foothold in recent times."
"No one would choose to support someone like him."
"But his methods are often unexpected, and no one can guess what his follow-up plans are."
Tang Tian fell silent again.
Would Lu Changge really lose his foothold?
Indeed, his behavior since the conflict with Hanhai seemed to prove this.
But Tang Tian absolutely didn't believe that such a schemer, who had always operated behind the scenes and danced on the edge of a knife, would lose his judgment at the critical moment.
He must have other goals.
The two stood quietly for a while without any further communication.
It was already the middle of the night, and the fierce wind and rain outside had stopped at some point.
When it was dawn, it would be the time to finally decide the ownership of that position.
Tang Tian looked at Chi Yuan, who was still unconscious, and suddenly turned and left.
"Take care of him for me."
"I will find a way to wake him up."
Tang Tian said.
