Chapter 151
The re-birth of a severed limb is obviously extremely painful, and Li Bu Yu was in so much pain that his whole face became twisted. Blood dripped from his broken arm, and the eerie sound of tendons and flesh tangling with each other made people shudder. He kept gasping for breath, his blue-grey lips chattered slowly, "Would you believe me if I said that I did all this because of you?"

Zong Zi Heng said fiercely, "Because, of, me?

"If you don't believe me, then ask that magical treasure of yours if this statement of mine is true or not."

"Cut the crap! Where is Zong Ming He's corpse, and why did you swap it!?"

Li Bu Yu laughed bitterly, "I did it for you, so that I could be near you, so that I could avenge you, so that you could get what you wanted ..."

"Shut up!" With a cold flash, the sword in Zong Zi Heng's hand was pressed against Li Bu Yu's throat. He was itching to cut Li Bu Yu alive, "Shameless, a pack of lies! For my sake, you destroyed my family, for my sake, you shattered my mother's soul, for my sake, you made me into a sinner who killed my father the emperor for eternity!"

"Am I the one who harmed you?" Li Bu Yu growled, "Was it me? Without me, would you have a loving father, a virtuous mother, and respectful brothers?!"

Zong Zi Heng was stunned.

"How did Zong Ming He treat you? Do you want me to help you recall? I used to visit my cousin and aunt at Wuji Palace when I was young. I watched you from one side. As the eldest prince, did anyone in the palace look up to you? Did anyone take you seriously? Even Zong Ming He, your own father, didn't he raise you for the sake of that core in your belly?!"

Zong Zi Heng staggered back a step: "You, how did you ..."

"You want to ask me how I know?" Li Bu Yu laughed hideously and morbidly, "He told me personally. That beast begged me before he died, just like he begged you not to kill him on the Eight Trigrams Platform. He begged me not to take his core. He asked me to take yours. He said you have an imperial destiny, and your core can make the best immortal core in the world called the 'Absolute Human Emperor ', hahahahaha ---- no wonder, no wonder you turned against each other and even fought against each other. If I don't kill him, will he be able to spare you when he heals?!"

Zong Zi Heng said with a shuddering voice, "You killed Zong Ming He for the sake of your Li family, for the sake of Wuliang Sect."

"That's right. That sinful beast, Zong Ming He, humiliated and fooled my aunt in every way, used and suppressed my Wuliang Sect, and my Li family was as if carrying a mountain on its shoulders for all these years. I thought everything would be fine until my cousin inherited the throne, but he was afraid of the power of Wuliang Sect, and wanted Zong Zi Xiao to succeed for fear that the state power would change hands. After what happened to both my cousin and Zong Zi Xiao, I thought he had no choice but to help you succeed, not realizing that he only wanted to dig up your core, so I had to kill him. For your sake, and for the sake of my Wuliang Sect."

"And Shen Shi Yao, was she really doing it for you? She did it so that she could strive for vindication and get back at Zong Ming He and my aunt! You used to be so gentle and modest that you had no intention for the throne at all, yet she did whatever she could to force you to go up, step by step. You were willing to carry the evil she did, was it caused by me?!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Li Bu Yu's words gouged his heart like the death by a thousand cuts, Zong Zi Heng's eyes were bloodshot and the hand holding the sword trembled beyond recognition, "She was guilty, but sinners have the chance to redeem themselves, yet you scattered her soul."

"She deserved it." Li Bu Yu laughed sinisterly, "And also Zong Zi Xiao. He is the one who deserves to die the most. When I was young, he always gave me a supercilious look. How he humiliated me at the Jiaolong Assembly back then, and how he has humiliated you now, what I regret most is that I didn't send someone to kill him at the beginning!"
