There was a long silence, a silence that lasted until Wei Cheng was contemplating leaving. That aged voice finally spoke again, still calm as ever.
"Yes indeed, I was the Earth Demon that strayed from the righteous path, committed heinous sins, even leading the world of cultivation to its current state of ruin. I am the sin's root and cause."
Now it was Wei Cheng's turn to be silent.
No, he was horrified, he was almost scared stiff! It felt like he had foolishly walked into a trap.
Yet, the aged voice continued.
"I certainly deserve to die for such sins. This includes Fire Demon Chi Yao, the Wind Demon Qing Xuan, the Water Demon Envoy. We listened to deceptive words and sought the supreme path of immortality, believing in fallacious words, thinking that we could summon the Supreme Demon Immortal to lead us out of misery. Who would have thought, the Supreme Demon Immortal never came, but an army of alien demons did."
