Chapter 2439: Justice Lies in the Hearts of the People!

"Ye Yuan, do you know how many of our strongmen died at Tianhe's hands back then? And how many more have died by his hand since you let him go? If you don't give the world an explanation today, you won't leave the Qiyuan Great Hall!" said the Destruction Ancestor in a deep voice.

How terrifying was the pressure when two Ancestors questioned him?

Especially the Destruction Ancestor; the rules of destruction emanating from him inadvertently seemed to make space itself tremble.

Even the strongmen present who had reached天人五衰 felt immense pressure.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Yuan, wondering how he would defend himself.

After all, this matter was hard to justify.

Ye Yuan laughed dismissively upon hearing this: "Explanation? Explain what? I, Ye Yuan, act according to my conscience my whole life. Why should I explain to you?"

Many strongmen gaped, staring at Ye Yuan in shock.

This guy dared to speak to an Ancestor like that!

And Ye Yuan had come to the Qiyuan Mountains, yet he didn't even defend himself?

Then what was he here for?

They found they couldn't see through Ye Yuan at all, completely unaware of what he intended.

Even Xuanji Heavenly Emperor, who had accompanied Ye Yuan, stood there dumbfounded, at a loss.

Lin Chaotian was clearly taken aback too, and said in a stern voice: "So you admit to betraying the human race?"

Since Ye Yuan didn't defend himself, that was all the better.

With this one sentence, he had effectively confirmed Ye Yuan's reputation as a traitor.

This made things much easier.

But Ye Yuan laughed heartily: "Hahaha... Whether I, Ye, have betrayed the human race, you shouldn't ask me! Go ask the warriors who fought alongside me! Go ask the spirits who fell on the battlefield! Or you can ask the great powers of your era who have passed away!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan was awe-inspiring, filled with righteous spirit.

The name of Qing Sheng was fully evident!

Though he lacked the might of an Ancestor, the name of Qing Sheng was cultivated by his righteousness—how could it be defiled?

At this moment, Ye Yuan's presence was in no way inferior to the Nine Ancestors!

He alone stood against the might of the Nine Ancestors!

These were two completely different kinds of momentum.

The Ancestors' momentum was that of those in power, naturally arising from their overwhelming strength.

But Ye Yuan's momentum was a righteous spirit forged over ten billion years!

Though he had not experienced those ten billion years, that span of time existed because of him!

Ye Yuan disdained to defend himself; justice lies in the hearts of the people!

It wasn't that he didn't want to kill Tianhe, but that he couldn't keep him.

Lier's current strength was in no way inferior to his.

If he were confident he could kill Tianhe, he would show no mercy.

But he simply couldn't be bothered to explain these things.

Even Lin Chaotian, powerful as he was, changed expression slightly.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to release such formidable presence.

Indeed, the Qing Sheng who created a glorious era was not so easy to deal with!

In the crowd, Ni Xuan's expression shifted uncertainly. Then he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and cupped his hands: "Ancestor, Ni Xuan has fought alongside Qing Sheng all along. I have witnessed every bit of his actions! I am willing to vouch with my own Dao foundation that Qing Sheng will never betray the human race!"

Before he finished, Shi Potian also suddenly stepped forward: "Qing Sheng is wholeheartedly for the public good. Shi Potian is also willing to vouch with his Dao foundation that he will never betray the human race!"

"I vouch for him!"

"I vouch for him too!"

...

Those天人五衰 strongmen who had fought alongside Ye Yuan suddenly erupted, stepping forward one after another to vouch for him.

Throughout the journey, they had seen everything Ye Yuan did.

They absolutely did not believe Ye Yuan would betray the human race.

On the battlefield, Ye Yuan was always at the forefront.

He also killed the most enemies.

It was he who had forged a group of noble sons into an invincible iron army.

If not for Ye Yuan uniting the myriad races, there would have been no subsequent great victory and recovery of the entire Tongtian Realm!

How could such a person betray the human race?

They were puzzled about Tianhe.

But they did not believe Ye Yuan would betray the human race!

Moved by Ye Yuan's righteous spirit, they involuntarily stepped forward.

In fact, many of them had previously decided to wait and see.

But Ye Yuan's righteous spirit seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making them unable to help following him.

Seeing this, the faces of several Ancestors turned very ugly.

The situation had completely spiraled out of control!

They had never expected such a scene to occur.

Just then, earth-shaking shouts suddenly came from outside, clearly audible throughout the Qiyuan Mountains!

"We beg the Ancestors to clear Qing Sheng's name!"

"We beg the Ancestors to clear Qing Sheng's name!"

"We beg the Ancestors to clear Qing Sheng's name!"

...

Shout after shout, like a roaring tide.

The voices of numerous天人境 and Heavenly Emperor realm strongmen叠加 together, nearly shaking the entire Qiyuan Mountains to collapse.

Outside the mountain gate, Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen, leading all the warriors of the Buce Legion, millions of human army soldiers, and many strongmen grateful for Ye Yuan's achievements, had gathered.

The total number had reached tens of millions!

Outside the Qiyuan Mountains, countless strongmen blotted out the sky, covering almost the entire heavens.

This number was nothing for the human race.

But in today's world, to gather so many people here to clear one person's name—even an Ancestor could not do it!

Before this, Ye Yuan had strictly ordered them not to come.

But this time, they disobeyed Ye Yuan's order.

"What nonsense are you up to? Get lost!" Lin Lang roared.

But facing millions of strongmen, Lin Lang's voice was directly suppressed; no one paid him any attention.

"Pang Zhen, you are a descendant of an Ancestor. How dare you be so reckless?" Lin Lang came before Pang Zhen and roared.

Pang Zhen completely ignored him and continued shouting.

In the hall, many strongmen changed color.

No one had expected things to turn out like this.

Originally, this was a trial of Ye Yuan.

But now, it had become a solo performance by Ye Yuan!

Why did Lin Chaotian fear Ye Yuan?

Because of his power to rally people!

But he had still underestimated Ye Yuan!

He hadn't expected that in this era, Ye Yuan would still have such powerful appeal!

Yes, of course he couldn't have expected it.

How could an exalted Ancestor like him understand the suffering of the world?

When the world was ravaged by war, they were afraid of the divine race's strength and dared not act.

But Ye Yuan stepped forward!

He turned the tide, reversed the course of events alone, and led the myriad races to victory over the divine race!

Who could compare to such merit?

Lin Chaotian was considering how to attain the Supreme and break through constraints.

But Ye Yuan was doing practical things for the people of the world.

Why should he give an explanation to the world?

Justice lies in the hearts of the people!
