It was like the crowdâs passionate cries were cut off by a knife. A group of people walked grandly into the Remote Heaven Gang.
âItâs the Xuantian Dao Sectâs people!â
âThe whole nest came out? Are they going for a decisive battle?â
When Long Chen led over a hundred thousand of the Xuantian Dao Sectâs disciples over, it caused countless cries to resonate.
âHmph, only one hundred thousand people. Weâve gathered all the Eastern Wastelandâs Righteous path, so exterminating them is as easy as turning a hand,â sneered someone.
The current Xuantian Dao Sect was no longer the old Xuantian Dao Sect. The Corrupt pathâs sneak attack had heavily injured their core.
The thirty-six supermonasteries took heavy damage. Thus, these hundred thousand disciples were the Xuantian Dao Sectâs full force.
Originally, Long Chen had only been planning on leading the Dragonblood Legion to this battle. But he hadnât succeeded. The Xuantian Dao Sectâs thirty-six supermonasteries and all their subordinate monasteries had moved out in full force, except for some people to look after their sects.
They had all heard of what Long Chen had encountered In the Immemorial Path. As for the Corrupt pathâs sneak attack, although they had no proof it was due to a collusion between the Corrupt path and the Remote Heaven Gang, there was a ninety percent chance that it was.
After paying that painful price, the Xuantian Dao Sectâs experts had finally erupted. This matter had provoked the fury within them. They decided to advance and retreat with Long Chen. Even if they knew that they might never return after advancing, they had still come.
Long Chen also hadnât expected the Xuantian Dao Sect to possess such passion when pushed to the brink of despair. He really hadnât been able to tell before that these disciples possessed such courage.
Long Chen and Ouyang Qiuyu walked side by side, and behind them were Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, Wilde, and the others.
Behind them were the Dragonblood warriors. After the baptism of that large battle, they were like unsheathed blades. The killing intent coming off of them had almost taken solid form.
The Xuantian Dao Sectâs experts were behind them. However, these disciples were all very weak. There were quite a few that had only reached Meridian Opening, and some were only just Bone Forging disciples
Although their cultivation bases were very low, they were fearless in the face of millions of experts. They all held their weapons tightly, their eyes icy-cold.
âBrazen Long Chen, you irredeemable brute, you dare-â
A Xiantian expert was the first to begin cursing at Long Chen. With a point from Guo Ran, a golden ray killed him.
âBastard, you-â
Another person was killed by Guo Ran.
At the top of the stage, Ji Changkong shouted, âLong Chen, as expected, you are brutal and vicious. Even when others point out your crimes, you simply kill them cruelly. Do you think you can keep your crimes quiet? Even if you kill a hundred people, a thousand people, or even ten thousand people, can you kill all the Eastern Wastelandâs Righteous pathâs experts? Do you think the saber in your hand can extinguish the righteousness in peopleâs hearts? In the Immemorial Path, this is exactly how you killed the Righteous pathâs experts. You are a savage fiend. Has everyone seen it clearly? This is exactly how mercilessly he attacked the people of his own sect.â
Ji Changkong was delighted to see Long Chen arrive. But he put on a righteous expression, passionately stirring the flames.
Ji Hongling was the first to start a cheer with the Remote Heaven Gangâs experts.
âKill Long Chen!â
âKill Long Chen!â
âKill Long Chen!â
These ignorant people all looked as if they would only be happy once Long Chen was killed. Gu Yang and the others clenched their fists. Even the always peaceful Meng Qi was angered.
Surprisingly, Long Chen was the only one with an indifferent expression. He didnât even look at those people who had been bought by the Remote Heaven Gang. He icily stared at Ji Changkong. âNot bad. This field is bigger than last time. But this shouldnât be all of it.â
âLong Chen, donât try to talk your way out of this. No matter what you say, you canât talk your way out of the fact that you colluded with the aboriginals to kill people of the RIghteous path. If you donât die today, thereâll be no way to pacify the souls who died because of you! The Devil Execution Conference is being held just for you. I really didnât think youâd come, but thatâs also good. Iâll publicly list your innumerable crimes so youâre convinced!â sneered Ji Changkong. He cast a glance to a certain person.
Dozens of experts immediately walked out. When they appeared, an uproar erupted amongst the Xuantian Dao Sectâs experts.
Those people were the Xuantian Dao Sectâs disciples. The people at the front used to be part of the Four Heavenly Geniuses, Zhao Wuji and Yue Qianshan.
âZhao Wuji, Yue Qianshan, you traitors actually joined the Remote Heaven Gang?!â
These two had been the Xuantian Dao Sectâs peerless geniuses. They had countless worshippers and followers. Now seeing the people they had worshipped be so lacking in integrity as to join the Remote Heaven Gang, curses rained down upon them.
âHmph, what do you understand? We renounced the darkness to join the light. The Xuantian Dao Sect is evil and is harboring a criminal like Long Chen. Thatâs the height of foolishness. And what we did wasnât join the Remote Heaven Gang. Instead, weâre standing up for the Righteous path. In front of everyone, weâll testify to Long Chenâs crimes. The higher-ups from the Xuantian Dao Sect, are you all blind? Can you not see how fake this criminal is? It seems there really is no need for the Xuantian Dao Sect to exist any longer,â sneered Zhao Wuji.
âYouâŚ!â
Zhao Wuji and Yue Qianshan had clearly betrayed them, but they still acted so sanctimoniously. The Xuantian Dao Sectâs people clenched their teeth. The monastery heads who had raised them were so furious that they quivered.
âLong Chen, in the Immemorial Path, you raped and looted, not shrinking from any crime, and-â Zhao Wuji started a steady stream of words that he seemed to know by heart.
âWait a moment. If you want to kill me, thereâs no need to make it so complicated. Let me first ask, are all of you sure you want to stand there?â Long Chen interrupted Zhao Wuji and looked at the Xuantian Dao Sect disciples behind him.
âSenior apprentice-brother Long Chen, we were forced! We-â cried one of them.
âCourting death!â One of the Remote Heaven Gang expertâs expression changed. He immediately charged over and let out a punch, wanting to kill that person.
Suddenly, a translucent, icy Sword Qi flew over, accurately landing on that personâs body. That person transformed into ice and then shattered. A Foundation Forging expert was killed in one blow.
âMy Xuantian Dao Sectâs disciples canât be killed by someone like you,â said Ouyang Qiuyu icily.
As soon as Ouyang Qiuyu attacked, seven of the Xuantian Dao Sectâs disciples ran over to Long Chenâs side.
âHalf-step King.â
The Remote Heaven Gangâs patriarch didnât particularly care about those people. It was Ouyang Qiuyu who drew most of his attention. He had long since investigated her and knew that she was stuck at the peak of Foundation Forging. When had she become a half-step King?
âSect master, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, please get us justice! These bastards, theyâŚâ One of them knelt down in front of Ouyang Qiuyu and began to weep. âAs soon as we exited the Immemorial Path, Ji Changkong, Zhao Wuji, and Yue Qianshan forced us to join the Remote Heaven Gang. The senior apprentice-brothers who refused were killed right there and then. They are the real brutesâŚâ
Ouyang Qiuyuâs expression sank. At first, she had also been curious as to why other than Long Chenâs people, none of the other disciples had returned. Now she understood.
âZhao Wuji, Yue Qianshan, you should still remember the number one punishment of the Xuantian Dao Sectâs law enforcement hall!â Ouyang Qiuyu glared at them hatefully.
The two of them had not only betrayed them, but they had forced the others to defect as well. Furthermore, they had personally slaughtered people from their sect. That was inexcusable.
Zhao Wuji and Yue Qianshanâs expressions changed. The Xuantian Dao Sectâs number one punishment was something even traitors wouldnât normally receive. Only people like them who had betrayed the sect and killed people while doing so had the qualifications to enjoy it.
The Xuantian Dao Sectâs number one punishment was called the Five Heart Living Lotus. It sounded like a very refined name, but those who knew what it meant all got chills upon hearing it.
Normally, one would think the five hearts referred to the two palms, two feet, and heart. But the Xuantian Dao Sectâs five hearts didnât include the real heart. Instead, the fifth heart referred to the heart of the head, or the space between a personâs eyebrows.
A Heart Piercing Lotusâs seed was planted in each of those five spots. It was said that this lotus seed originated from hell. It was only able to survive off other peopleâs bodies. During that process, it would extract a personâs soul and blood to nourish itself.
Furthermore, the person infected with the lotus would feel endless pain during this process. The lotus would take root within the body, and the pain was indescribable.
This kind of pain was enough to cause a person to die. But because a seed would be planted in the head as well, it would cause a strange cycle. It made it so a person could die, but they would still feel every little bit of the pain.
The most terrifying thing was that the lotus would feed the energy back to the heart. It allowed a person to live three times longer than normal.
This was the Xuantian Dao Sectâs cruelest punishment. It had only been used a few times in all of history. Unless a person was completely evil, it wouldnât be used. Even those who betrayed the sect were normally just killed instead of being inflicted with this punishment. But today, Ouyang Qiuyu was truly infuriated.
âOuyang Qiuyu, you really are despicable. Do you think using a soul art to control a few disciples would be enough to invert black and white? Laughable! Do you think the Righteous disciples are idiots?â Ji Changkong hastily took Zhao Wujiâs place to respond when he saw that he was terrified.
âOuyang Qiuyu, youâre too shameless and despicable!â
âA person like you can be a sect master? Garbage! A garbage sect master and a garbage sect!â
âExactly, such a sect is just garbage. The existence that raised a devil like Long Chen definitely isnât anything good and should be destroyed with him.â
With a subtle hint from Ji Changkong, countless people began to furiously roar, cursing Ouyang Qiuyu. She trembled from rage, having an urge to slaughter them all.
âDie!â
Surprisingly, Long Chen suddenly roared. It was like the roar of a god, and it contained his powerful Spiritual Strength.
