Otherworldly Evil Monarch Volume 6 Chapter 781 - Power of Water, Absorb!

Chen Chong's eyes shone with a sharp gleam as he continued. "As for us, we're not acting out of pure selfishness! What is the purpose in us placing our lives on the line every time in the War for Seizing the Heavens? Don't tell me it was for ourselves only?! We're doing this for all of mankind! For all the innocent lives in this world! For this point alone, we… have a clear conscience!"

Chen Chong's voice broke off for a moment, but it rose up again with renewed vigor, as if he were putting more weight into his words to convince himself. "All our efforts are for the sake of the common people! For humanity! We have nothing to be ashamed about! No matter what actions we took, they were all necessary actions! Anyone who opposes us, whether they be the strange races, Tian Fa's Xuan Beasts, or anyone else—they are all evil and wicked!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Chong had already picked up the wine bowl and raised it to his lips. With a fierce gurgling sound, he finished the entire bowl of wine in one breath. Slamming it down menacingly, he continued. "We've never done anything selfish; our conscience is clear!"

Instead of trying to convince Leng Tong, these words were, more accurately, to convince himself! And he'd succeeded!

The bowl was smashed into pieces, clanging loudly against the ground. The cave was completely silent, allowing the crisp sound to echo brightly…

"What a nice 'our conscience is clear'! HAHAHA…" Leng Tong laughed in an odd manner. He reached out, looking for a bowl to hold his wine, only to find that there was nothing left. With a cold snort, he picked up a new vat of wine, tore off the seal and guzzled madly. The pale green wine overflowed his mouth and ran down the sides of his mouth freely. His breathing grew rough, and with a great crash, the wine vat smashed into the ground. Fifty jin of wine, had actually disappeared into his stomach.

Leng Tong's originally straight body swayed twice, and he toppled to the ground. His eyes were closed tightly, and he murmured continuously. "… what a nice 'our conscience is clear'!" He sat quietly on the ground, while two streams of tears ran down his face. Following that, he buried his head in his knees and howled bitterly!

A Saint realm expert was actually crying aloud in front of others!

The beliefs he'd held his entire life, his long cherished ideas about justice, and his long established, unshakeable, and stanch purpose had all been shattered completely today by this single phrase: "our conscience is clear!"

In this moment, Leng Tong, the lofty Demon Pupil Saint, had been thoroughly defeated by those four shameless words!

For a moment, the other four did not say a single word. Within the stone chamber, there was only the sound of Leng Tong's unrestrained crying, causing the hearts of all who heard him to tighten and their noses to feel sour!

The sound of people crying was something that had probably never ceased since the beginning of the world!

However, the cries of a Saint were unexpectedly so heart rending!

Leng Tong was a person who went around everyday with a cold face, doing things in a decisive and clean manner! From the beginning of a year to the end, one would hardly be able catch him speaking more than one or two sentences in total. Such a person had not only raised his voice in objection today, he'd even participated in a fierce debate personally, finally ending up sitting on the floor and crying aloud out of despair!

Because he discovered that the beliefs that he'd always held onto so resolutely were actually so laughable! The friends whom he'd known for centuries actually all preached in direct confrontation to his values, ruthlessly breaking them down!
