Ancestor Fengyi had clearly been driven into seclusion for several centuries due to a plot by his own son, yet he made a clumsy cover-up by claiming he had gone into voluntary seclusion. The order for all the demonic cultivators to jointly besiege Hu Yihui and the others had undoubtedly been issued by Minghua—who could possibly dare to disobey? Yet Minghua deliberately minimized his own role, making it sound as though the demonic cultivators were the ones who had corrupted his son.
In the end, even Xu Hongbo, a master at insinuating blame and dodging responsibility, could no longer stomach it. He tilted his head back, rolled his eyes in secret, and muttered helplessly to himself: "Ming Jingxi is truly a rare specimen. He lets his son run amok, yet here he is washing his hands of it entirely. Something that could have been settled with a single command flag, he stubbornly kept tucked away, forcing his brother-in-law to go out and fight a world-shaking, earth-shattering battle. Ah, Heavens, why must we cross paths with the likes of him instead of anyone else? How is a person supposed to go on living?"
Xu Hongbo’s inner thoughts struck right at the heart of what everyone else was feeling, but cowed by Ancestor Fengyi's tyrannical might, not a single person dared to pierce this paper-thin window layer that was already so obvious.
