But Chen Hui was gritting his teeth, tears streaming down his twisted face.
"How could you kill Lord Yun Ao?"
"How could you betray the Prison Lord?"
"You even framed Lord Cang Li and the others for treason against the sect, stripping them of their cultivation."
"In truth, you are the real traitor."
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!!"
Chen Hui struggled to stand but found he couldn't get up at all, and could only roar in fury.
Hearing these words, Dongfang Hansong's expression stiffened, his eyes instantly reddening.
"Hui'er, you... you still don't understand?"
"I am your biological father. The care and cultivation the Prison Sect gave you, including everything Yun Ao did for you — that was all my command."
"It was my guidance that made you what you are today."
"Even killing Yun Ao and going after the Prison Lord's grandson — I did none of it for myself. I did it all for you."
As Dongfang Hansong spoke, he walked up close to Chen Hui.
Whoosh— But suddenly, a flash of cold light streaked past.
It was a divine great saber slashing toward Dongfang Hansong.
Catching Dongfang Hansong completely off guard, his reaction was far too slow. He couldn't dodge in time, and a bloody gash was carved across his chest.
And at that very moment, Xiahou Jue's figure materialized, the divine great saber in his hand being the very weapon that had just struck Dongfang Hansong.
Moreover, Xiahou Jue's cultivation was no longer at the Fourth Stage Heavenly God realm. After drawing upon the power of the Prison Infant, his cultivation had risen to the Fifth Stage Heavenly God realm.
Chen Hui was greatly surprised to see Xiahou Jue.
But Xiahou Jue broke apart the oppressive aura enveloping Chen Hui and hauled him to his feet.
"Chen Hui, I'll admit I didn't much like you before."
"But I never expected you'd turn out to be this much of a man."
"You want to avenge Lord Yun Ao and rescue the Prison Lord's descendant, don't you?"
Xiahou Jue asked.
"I do."
Chen Hui nodded heavily.
Xiahou Jue produced a treasure and handed it to Chen Hui.
"Lord Baili Xukong is currently unlocking the sacred artifact. Go find him and tell him the truth."
But after taking the treasure from Xiahou Jue, Chen Hui hesitated.
Baili Xukong — for the sake of his own son, he was the person who most wanted Chu Feng dead.
Even if told the truth, would he be willing to help Chu Feng?
"Rest assured, both Lord Baili Xukong and I are loyal to the Prison Lord."
"Besides, at this point, aside from Lord Baili Xukong, who else can you trust?"
Xiahou Jue said.
Boom— But at that moment, an even more powerful oppressive aura swept over them.
It was Dongfang Hansong pushing his cultivation up to the Sixth Stage Heavenly God realm.
However, after raising his cultivation, Dongfang Hansong looked surprised.
Logically, this level of cultivation should have been more than enough to force Xiahou Jue to the ground like a dead dog.
With a full stage of difference between them, Xiahou Jue should have had absolutely no power to resist before him.
He could have wiped him out directly.
But as it happened, Xiahou Jue withstood Dongfang Hansong's oppressive aura.
Just then, the great hall shook violently, and the source was none other than Xiahou Jue.
Xiahou Jue's muscular skin began to crack and shatter, replaced by blood-red flames of energy that surged outward.
Soon, his physical body completely disintegrated, and his entire being was transformed into a pillar of blood-red energy.
He was now even taller and more imposing than before.
Like a fully grown Prison Infant, his eyes were blood-red — terrifying to behold, yet incomparably powerful.
Because the aura emanating from his body had already reached the Sixth Stage Heavenly God realm.
