3167 Such A Holy Son

Upon hearing those words, everyone was stunned. They thought that he would have said that he would put aside his regard for his life and death as he had already prepared to dedicate his life to the common people. Who would have known that he would have heard him say what did the common people in the world have to do with him? That there was only one person he wanted to protect.

For a moment, everyone was shocked and stunned and in disbelief. Shouldn’t the Holy Son have the interests of the common people in the world in his heart and have compassion for the world? How could he actually say such words, that he didn’t care about the world and only wanted to protect one person?

The eyes of the Palace Lord, who was standing at the side when he heard this, flickered for a moment. He looked at the banished immortal who had one hand behind his back and one hand on his abdomen, and he sighed softly in his heart.

“If you are the Holy Son, shouldn’t you have the interests of the common world in your heart and have compassion for the world? Isn’t it inappropriate for the Holy Son to say such a thing?” The middle-aged man asked, his eyes fixed on Mo Chen, who seemed otherworldly in his fluttering white clothes.

!!
Even he had to admit that Nalan Mo Chen had an extremely outstanding aura. His body was entwined with immortal energy and seemed outstandingly noble. He didn’t have any sharp or aggressive aura on his body, only a gentle and refined aura, which made people not despise him.

Now that he was questioning him under great pressure, he felt a little flustered.

This person was the Holy Son of the Temple, he was the candidate who came from God’s will. He was also the disciple of their Master’s Senior Brother, the Holy Son candidate that he had been searching for many years. Now, he was challenging his authority. Needless to say, it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t feeling panicked.

“What does the world have to do with me? What do the common people have to do with me?”

Mo Chen’s deep and calm eyes fell onto the middle-aged man. He looked at him and said slowly: “If I were the Holy Son, it wouldn’t be for the common people of the world, I would just follow my heart and do what I want.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was speechless, and so was everyone else. They just looked at him dumbfounded, they hadn’t expected that he was such a Holy Son…

When he saw that everyone was silent and none of them had said a word, they just stared at him blankly, Mo Chen smiled slightly and asked: “Is there a last question?”

The middle-aged man came out of his reverie when he heard the question. He cleared his mind and looked at Mo Chen hesitantly. He paused for a moment, then he asked cautiously: “The third question: dare I ask the Holy Son, where does love belong? Can you really cut off your seven emotions and six desires?”

If he were to become the Holy Son, he had to cut off all his seven emotions and six desires before he could cultivate successfully. Only by obtaining the Holy Power in the Holy Tower could he have the power to protect. He had said earlier that the world had nothing to do with him, he was only protecting one person with his life. He knew that the person he wanted to protect was the Phoenix Star, but was this protection bore out of love?

Upon hearing this, a faint light flashed across Mo Chen’s eyes. He looked at the middle-aged man and the middle-aged man was unable to look directly at him under his gaze. He lowered his eyes to hide the unease and panic in his eyes.

“Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and I am no exception. It is precisely because of this that I need to enter the Spirit Pagoda and concentrate on my cultivation.” Mo Chen spoke slowly. He glanced at the crowd and asked: “Does anyone have anything else to say? Today I will allow you to ask and forgive you for repeatedly testing me. But after today, anyone who is disrespectful will be severely punished!”

The gentle voice that came out of his mouth was unhurried, his voice contained spirit energy and so was clearly transmitted into everyone’s ears. At the same time, the majestic words and their shocking meaning was clear to everyone.
