75: Is there something wrong with what I said?

Ye Tianxiong spoke with genuine emotion and incisive analysis, causing many high-ranking Sect officials and Grand Elders below to nod in agreement, their disappointment in Ye Tianxiong's loss of control somewhat alleviated.

Ye Tianxiong had indeed accomplished many significant deeds for the Sect during his years as Sect Master, bringing immense benefits, and the Sect's strength had flourished and prospered.

Moreover, intermarriage between the two founding Families had always been a tradition.

If the engagement were suddenly called off, breaking this tradition, the impact would be incalculable.

"You constantly speak of the Sect's interests, so is this the reason your Ye Family colluded with the Liu Family to scheme against my Chu Family's Young Lord, the Sect's Saint?" Chu Tianyun sneered repeatedly, saying, "This is the reason you, as Sect Master, colluded with Heavenly Fortune Daoist to gouge out my nephew's Heavenly Dao Eye.

And Ye Tianxiong, how dare you mention exhausting yourself for the Sect, yet you don't utter a single word about my elder brother Chu Tian King's contributions.

How much of the Chu Family's interests has my elder brother sacrificed over the years, enduring humiliation to cooperate with you, his sworn brother in life and death, for the greater good of the Sect?

Without my Chu Family's cooperation, that you could accomplish so many things is a huge joke."

Chu Tianyun's Evil Qi surged, and the Chenxing White Tiger Blade in his hand shimmered with cold light: "So, this is how you repay my elder brother, how you repay my Chu Family."

"Since everything's out in the open, if you don't make things clear today, don't blame the blade in my hand for turning hostile."

"A mere public self-criticism? That was my elder brother giving you Face, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to pass."

Many high-ranking Chu Family members' eyes were cold as they surrounded Chu Tian, staring coldly at Ye Tianxiong, the atmosphere heavy.

Over the years, for the overall interests of the Sect and to cooperate with Ye Tianxiong's various endeavors, the Chu Family had consistently endured humiliation, harming many of its own interests.

The Chu Family's internal dissatisfaction had been brewing for a long time.

Chu Tian's defiance was like a fuse, igniting the Chu Family's powder keg.

For millions of years, as a founding Family, even when the three ancestors of revival served as Sect Masters and the Chu Family had no Emperor Venerable in the current generation, they had never suffered this much.

Yet in this generation, with Chu Tian King serving as Deputy Sect Leader and being an Emperor Venerable, the Chu Family was suffering immensely.

While the Sect prospered, the Chu Family's power continuously weakened.

Today, Ye Tianxiong even dared to speak self-righteously about exhausting himself for the Sect, which could be said to have directly ignited the anger in the hearts of the Chu Family's high-ranking members.

Following Chu Tianyun's words, they all spoke out in rebuke, their Evil Qi soaring, unleashing all the pent-up frustration of these past years.

It wasn't just the Ye Family that had the ability to overturn the table.

The Chu Family did too!

"Ye Tianxiong, if you don't make things clear today, don't expect my Chu Family to cooperate with your orders as Sect Master in the future." A high-ranking Chu Family member's voice was resolute.

"The intermarriages throughout history were between two equals, but why do I feel that in this generation, my Chu Family has fallen a step below your Ye Family? Ye Feng is marrying my Chu Family's Eldest Miss, but why is my Chu Family's Young Lord, the Sect's Saint, engaged to a Young Miss from a third-rate minor Family? Who the hell made that decision and instigated my Chu Family's Family Head?"

A Grand Elder of the Chu Family's voice carried heavy Evil Qi: "What, just because Tianwang didn't marry a woman from within the Sect, my Young Lord isn't worthy of marrying your Ye Family's Eldest Miss, or a woman of higher status within the Sect?"

"It's simply a huge joke."

"The Young Lord said it well, I think that Ye Feng fellow, he's simply not worthy of my Chu Family's Eldest Miss."

"Calling off the engagement, it's a good thing, this old man supports it with both hands. Why should my Chu Family's Eldest Miss endure humiliation and make concessions again for the sake of the Sect's interests?"

"That's right, let's take advantage of everyone being here today and lay it all out!"

"Damn it, I'm not enduring it anymore!"

"I support calling off the engagement!"

Seeing Ye Tianxiong once again bring up the Sect's interests, the Chu Family's internal powder keg, which had been suppressed for years, was directly ignited, and one after another, high-ranking Chu Family members spoke out in anger.

Between the sky and earth, Old Tuo's terrifying might had still not dissipated, while Chu Tian King's might seemed very unstable, because although the high-ranking Chu Family members' remarks did not directly point to him as the Family Head, every sentence was related to him as the Family Head.

Below the altar, many high-ranking Sect officials and Grand Elders were silent, their eyes complex.

Because of Chu Tian King's selfless dedication.

Over the years, everyone had indeed overlooked the Chu Family's internal emotions.

At the Elder Council, Chu Tianyun's forceful outburst leading the high-ranking Chu Family members made them realize that the Chu Family's interior was almost a powder keg, which had merely been forcibly suppressed by Chu Tian King, the Emperor Venerable Family Head, all this time.

Ye Tianxiong's Face darkened. He suddenly realized that with Chu Tian King absent, his invoking the banner of the Sect's interests might move other high-ranking Sect officials and Grand Elders, but it would only further enrage the Chu Family.

At this moment, he finally realized what he had truly lost.

The shaking of Chu Tian King's authority within the Chu Family was an immeasurable loss to him.

The more he spoke now, the more mistakes he seemed to make.

Unless he was truly willing to overturn the table!

But this was unrealistic and impossible.

At this moment, Duanmu Lei also stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, "Over these years, the Chu Family has indeed contributed too much to the Sect's prosperity and flourishing. We, as high-ranking Sect officials, cannot let those who have rendered meritorious service bleed and shed tears."

Below the altar, some high-ranking Sect officials and Grand Elders nodded, agreeing with Duanmu Lei's statement.

The Chu Family had indeed made immense contributions to the Sect over the years, but because Chu Tian King did not contend or strive, they had all subconsciously overlooked the Chu Family.

"Dear uncles, elders, and grandfathers, high-ranking Sect officials, Grand Elders."

At this moment, Chu Tian's indifferent and calm voice resounded throughout the entire venue: "Contributing to the Sect is the responsibility of my Chu Family, there is nothing wrong with this. To sacrifice a small portion of our own interests to benefit the Sect is the glory of my Chu Family.

For the survival of the Sect, even if it means my entire Chu Family fighting to the death on the battlefield right now to preserve the Sect, every disciple of my Chu Family would not hesitate in the slightest.

Originally, there were some things that, for the greater good and glory of the Sect, Chu Tian was unwilling to say.

But since the Sect Master has spoken, I would like to ask the Sect Master a question in front of everyone."

Chu Tian looked into Ye Tianxiong's eyes, his voice cold: "The Sect Master keeps saying that the engagement cannot be called off for the sake of the Sect's interests.

But who exactly has been harming the Sect's interests for their own selfish gain?

Ye Family's Young Lord Ye Feng Cultivates the Supreme Demon Sect's Cultivation Technique, Supreme Yin Yang Art, and incited my elder sister Chu Yunshang to Cultivate the supplementary art of the Supreme Yin Yang Art.

Such a Devil Head, disregarding the Sect's major principles, trampling on the Sect's interests, harming my Chu Family's prestige, and deceiving my elder sister's feelings.

Such a cold-blooded Devil Head, utterly without principles, shameless, faithless, and heartless."

Chu Tian enunciated each word, his gaze incredibly cold: "He is not worthy of marrying my sister."

"Is there a problem with what I said?"
