Chapter 1221: Complete Disregard
Zhao Yuqing thought the man in front of him might have lost his mind.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "I'm afraid you truly have entered the demonic path. You haven't mastered the abilities, but this paranoid obsession of yours is very real!"
Chen Changsheng let out a breath. "If I don't do this, it will be very hard to make it out of here. That demon used me as a scapegoat. I narrowly survived; how could I possibly let that go?"
Zhao Yuqing shook his head. "A path must be walked one step at a time. How can you be in such a rush?"
Chen Changsheng rejected this. "I walk the demonic path precisely for speed. There is no longer any opportunity for me to take things one step at a time. Once that demon commits a grave atrocity using my body, even if I reclaim it, the oppressive weight of heaven and earth and the scorn of the world will only push me back into the abyss."
Zhao Yuqing's expression faltered.
He did not know how to persuade Chen Changsheng, because the man was absolutely right.
No one knew what that demon intended to do. Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, he might turn the world upside down. The most critical point was that the world would never realize it was the demon's doing; they would simply believe it was Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and shook his head. "And do you know what? It's completely impossible to explain. Back then, I borrowed the aid of various paths to seize the Yellow Springs. I successfully established the Underworld, but in the end, it allowed demonic energy to slip into the Mortal World through Reincarnation. When everyone sees that demon committing atrocities on the demonic path using my body, what will they think? How am I supposed to explain?"
