Celestial Derivation Daoist Master paused, his gaze sweeping over Lu Chuan. Seeing no reaction, he continued in a slightly softer tone.
"However… Blood River, yes, the one you call the Blood Demon. His mind had fallen to demonic ways. As his lifespan neared its end, he was plagued by the five turbidities and his six senses were clouded. He actually dared to brazenly force his way onto Divine Sky Peak in broad daylight, activating his Dao Foundation in a mad attempt to slaughter his fellow disciples. He had already cut himself off from the Sect, an act tantamount to rebellion.
His violent actions were witnessed by all.
Killing him was an act of ridding the Sect of a menace and averting a great disaster. On this count, you have performed a merit!"
This verdict was followed by a turn of events.
'This was all just official rhetoric.'
'Although Xu Yunfan had broken a taboo, the Blood Demon deserved death even more. Killing him was a merit that outweighed the demerit.'
