Chapter 1622 - Heavenly Prison
The Demon Suppression lineage’s plan to suppress the Heavenly Punishment lineage using Chen Fan as a pretext had fallen through because of Mo Xue’s testimony. What was meant to be a calculated suppression turned into a clean reversal, allowing the Heavenly Punishment lineage to strike back decisively.
Naturally, the sect leader had no intention of uprooting the entire Demon Suppression lineage, nor did he believe their elders were demon-possessed or traitors. It was simply impossible.
Still, with the truth exposed, moral ground firmly shifted. The Demon Suppression lineage had failed to pressure Chen Fan. It was instead criticized for fabricating charges and targeting a disciple to tip the balance of power, only to end in disgrace.
Chen Fan emerged safely from the Featherlight Heavenly Palace, and quiet discussions rippled through the crowd. Many immediately grasped the deeper meaning behind the scene. This had never been about Chen Fan alone. It was a direct clash between two lineages.
“Look, Chen Fan is back!”
“Nothing happened to him!”
“Hehe, this matter was simply the Demon Suppression lineage trying to use the opportunity to suppress the Heavenly Punishment lineage. Looks like they failed miserably. Otherwise, Chen Fan wouldn’t be walking back unharmed.”
Huang Wuji and the others immediately rushed out of the cavern and examined Chen Fan from head to toe.
“Little Junior Brother, are you alright?”
Chen Fan shrugged and said, “I’m fine. What could happen to me? I just visited the Heavenly Palace and spoke with the sect leader and a few elders. Nothing worth mentioning.”
Seeing him still joking around, Huang Wuji and the others felt like a huge weight was lifted from their chests. Whatever had happened inside, it clearly hadn’t gone badly.
“Little Junior Brother, what about him?”
