Li Hao previously listened to the Saint who led the way simply talk about this matter, and he fell into a slight silence.
“You might be able to imagine what happened afterward.”
“Under my angry interrogation, they refused to admit anything, but I tried various methods and couldn’t find that Daoist Soldier on them.”
“Under the pleas of others, I released them, originally planning to secretly observe if they would take out that Daoist Soldier, but until they became Saints, they never revealed it…”
Mi Tian Saint slightly shook his head, with an expression of weariness in his eyes:
“In retaliation against me, they abandoned everything I taught them, creating their Saint Path anew, one a thief, the other a liar, just like how I accused them back then of stealing and lying, I know what they want to say…”
Li Hao was stunned, not expecting that Feng and Lie Sky Saint had such a past.
Theft, lying, although Mi Tian Saint didn’t elaborate, Li Hao could imagine the great suffering and pain they endured when they were wrongfully accused back then.
“Was that Daoist Soldier found later?” Li Hao asked.
Mi Tian Saint slightly shook his head and said: “No news, but I already know it wasn’t stolen by them. Back then, the only ones who could enter my secret alchemy chamber, besides them, could only be other Supreme Saints. So, whose hands it ultimately fell into, I’m still investigating secretly, but after so many years, there’s still no evidence.”
Li Hao nodded, glanced at the other party, and found it hard to determine who was right and who was wrong in this matter.
However, he knew that as a third party, he had no right to judge right from wrong; doing so would be placing himself in a supreme position to criticize others.
The act of judging others is, in itself, also a kind of wrongdoing.
“If the Immortal Pill can be successfully refined this time, helping them touch the threshold of the Supreme Saint, it can count as a bit of my compensation.”
Mi Tian Saint said in a low voice.
Li Hao nodded without speaking, just silently drinking tea.
Half a month passed.
The preparations for refining the Immortal Pill were already in place.
In the small courtyard, Li Hao was accompanying Mi Tian Saint to play chess when suddenly, the Sword Master rushed into the courtyard.
Seeing the two playing chess, he quickly said:
“Haotian, something happened.”
“Hmm?”
Li Hao and Mi Tian Saint looked over simultaneously, frowning.
The Sword Master’s expression wasn’t good, and he said: “Outside, in the All Heavens World, news about you is being spread everywhere, saying that you monopolized the Immortal Path, using crude means to block all Saints from ascending, and now every small world’s Divine Dynasty is denouncing you for this.”
Li Hao was stunned, finally realizing why the incense fire had decreased, with only the portion from the mortal world continuing to come as steadily as before.
“Is it the work of All Saints?”
Li Hao’s expression turned cold, not expecting they would even involve common folks.
“That’s right, but they haven’t openly targeted you, and if you want to investigate sincerely, they’ve probably already figured out countermeasures. There are too many forces spreading the news, making it impossible to trace.”
The Sword Master quickly said: “Now public grievances are rising everywhere, saying you are selfish. Look at your incense fire, hasn’t it already been cut off?”
Li Hao’s eyes showed a murderous intent, saying: “Looks like I’ve been too lenient; if I don’t kill a few to establish my authority, they won’t understand the gravity of the situation!”
“Doing so will only worsen your reputation; now that the rumors have started, it’s impossible to extinguish them.”
The Sword Master said.
Mi Tian Saint looked at Li Hao and said: “I heard about your matter as well. I do believe what you’re saying, but my belief is of no use. The means they are using now, to put it simply, is to cut off your incense fire, probably because they think you intend to seize this world’s incense fire, and thus they use this method to force you to respond.”
Li Hao was slightly stunned, thoughts spinning, and immediately felt that what the other party said made sense.
“If you act out of anger now, the other party will only claim to be wronged. If you kill them, it will inevitably be made public, and by then, the people of All Heavens will feel more brutal and unreasonable towards you, giving them justifiable reasons to unite and fight against your tyranny.”
Mi Tian Saint said.
Li Hao remained silent.
Mi Tian Saint glanced at him and said: “Now, you have two options, the first is to negotiate with them and ask them to stop, so the matter can be settled. The second is to endure, wait until a hundred years later when this batch of mortals dies off, and then establish your Incense Fire Temple.”
Li Hao knew that reconciling with All Saints had no meaning; as long as their desires were unmet, nothing he said would be believed.
“Didn’t expect that after guarding the Ancient Road and bringing ten years of peace to All Heavens, this would be the result.”
Li Hao sneered, feeling a real impulse to open the gap in the Mystical Gate, allowing them to see it with their own eyes.
But that impulse was ultimately restrained by his reason.
Once done, there would be no turning back.
By then, the Ancient Demon invasion would not only affect his friends living in All Heavens but also affect and invade the mortal world.
For such a greater good, he could only endure.
The Sword Master looked at Li Hao worriedly, fearing he might impulsively fight an all-out war with All Saints, resulting in many Saints falling, and Li Hao himself would be endangered.
The small courtyard fell silent, and after a long time, Li Hao’s expression calmed down, and he said:
“I’ve accepted this matter.”
Mi Tian Saint patted him on the shoulder to show comfort and said: “I know you feel unwilling, but I believe that one day, you will clear your name.”
Li Hao slightly shook his head, not wanting to mention this matter further, lest it brings him anger.
He drank a sip of Mi Tian Saint’s tea and felt much calmer, saying: “When will the Immortal Pill be refined? Once ready, I want to take a walk in the mortal world.”
