"You...!"
Zhong Qingcang's pupils shrank, caught between shock and anger, yet unable to refute.
Shen Hex didn't give him a chance to retort, delivering another searing remark, "But you can't be entirely blamed. Perhaps after Celestial Destiny came to an end, they coerced you into signing some contract, subjecting you to their control, unlike Li Taiyi, whose destiny dissipated, with his Spirit Beast dead, not even having the qualification to sign contracts or be coerced."
"..."
Faced with these piercing words, Zhong Qingcang's gaze remained icy, offering no rebuttal, only clenching his fists tightly beneath his sleeves.
"Enough!"
It was the black-clad elder by his side who spoke, "Where did you hear such conspiracy theories, using them to slander your teacher and the Spirit Control City, you've truly gone mad!"
"Whether it's slander, the facts will tell!"
