Chapter 331: He Already Apologized, What More Do You Want?
“What exactly is going on… with your world!”
In Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon’s hand, Heaven Immortal Ming Hua’s head was dripping blood. His expression was terrified, and his lips moved tremblingly. Surprisingly, he could still speak.
And not just him.
The other three Earth Immortals could also speak. Clearly decapitated, yet not dead, though the feeling of being amputated below the neck wasn’t pleasant.
However, precisely because of the decapitation, some kind of “influence” they were under previously was also dispelled. Instead, unprecedented fear surfaced in their hearts. Heaven Immortal Ming Hua couldn’t even understand his thoughts from not long ago— A world with over thirty [Dao Fruits]. How did he dare to come here?
Could it be… a Supreme acted against me?
This was the only explanation. Thinking of this, Heaven Immortal Ming Hua couldn’t help twitching his mouth, swallowing all his emotions, barely holding back from cursing out loud.
Bastard!
What kind of figure is a Supreme? Occupying a [Dao Fruit], high and mighty, yet actually acting against a lowly Heaven Immortal like him? Is there any royal law? Is there any justice?
And what about his own Supreme?
Why didn’t he save me?
“What exactly did you…”
In an instant, Heaven Immortal Ming Hua had countless words in his heart he wanted to say, but before he could speak, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon shook him vigorously, causing his eyes to roll back instantly.
“Be quiet.”
While scolding in a low voice, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon looked somewhat distressed. His sword intent was named [No-Kill]. As the name suggested, his sword did not kill people.
Anyone struck by his sword might have limbs separated or bodies shattered, but they wouldn’t die. At most, they would lose all their powers and become like Heaven Immortal Ming Hua and the others now. Not dead, but from now on, they could no longer do anything.
For some people, this was simply worse than death.
But in Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon’s view, a bad life is better than a good death. After all, they survived. As long as one is alive, there is always some hope in life.
The next second, the escaping light descended.
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon returned to the boat. His Divine Sense swept through, and he soon frowned. The disappearance of Ye Xingfeng’s figure made his heart sink slightly—
“Where is Xingfeng? What happened?”
“Uncle!”
Seeing Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon finally return, the previously suppressed Ye Guyue flew over instantly, resentment showing on her exquisite face.
However, before she could speak, Lu Yang spoke first: “I have disappointed Senior. Brother Ye died for me. I am willing to repay this karma by reincarnating in the Sword Pavilion. Please, Senior, do not direct your anger at Senior Sister Ye. A thousand mistakes, ten thousand mistakes, are all this humble one’s fault alone.”
Ye Guyue: “…”
Who is your Senior Sister? You haven’t even joined the Sword Pavilion yet!
Bastard!
“You still want to join the Sword Pavilion?” Ye Guyue gritted her teeth: “Uncle, this person secretly murdered Xingfeng. Quickly execute him to avenge Xingfeng!”
Hearing this, Lu Yang stood with hands by his sides, lowering his head. Although showing a bit of grievance, he didn’t say a word, looking obedient and ready to accept punishment.
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon shook his head upon seeing this.
The next second, he hooked his hand as if plucking the strings of this world. The surrounding scene instantly began to retrace, reflecting the previous events.
This wasn’t reversing time, but reproducing the scene of the past. Only a Great Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection or with extremely high dao comprehension could do such a thing. Put plainly, it was asking heaven and earth for a favor to check the “heaven and earth records”. If the dao comprehension wasn’t enough, one would just be ignored by heaven and earth.
Soon, numerous scenes emerged.
A moment later, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon’s expression gradually darkened. He wasn’t a fool; he couldn’t possibly fail to see the petty actions of Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng.
“…They brought it upon themself!”
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon hummed low, then waved his sleeve, dispersing the scene. Although he looked angry, deep helplessness flowed in the depths of his eyes.
“Clearly, you wanted to kill him…”
“So what?”
Ye Guyue couldn’t understand at all: “Uncle, even so, we didn’t actually kill him. Now that Xingfeng is dead, is he not at fault?”
“Moreover, this person could disperse his form with a divine ability at such a precise time. Clearly, he wanted to kill with a borrowed knife!”
“Its just a coincidence.”
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon shook his head and looked at Lu Yang: “He was inside [Wu You Heaven] at that time. I have been there too; it seals all Divine Sense perception.”
Ye Guyue instantly became furious.
She even felt a bit of resentment towards Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. No wonder the Clan Head always said this Uncle of hers was unconventional. She didn’t expect him to be so pedantic!
Just then, Lu Yang spoke: “Senior, it is indeed my fault.”
He looked grief-stricken and full of guilt: “Although Brother Ye’s death was unintentional on my part, I feel I should bear some responsibility.”
After speaking, Lu Yang looked at Ye Guyue and said sincerely: “Senior Sister, rest assured. Although Brother Ye is dead, his soul might not have scattered. If he can still reincarnate, I will definitely personally guide him into the Sword Pavilion and help him restore his former peak. In this way, it can be considered his karmic fate.”
“…Jiangbei Demon, dare to talk to me about karmic fate?”
For a moment, this valiant and heroic beauty’s pretty face turned incredibly red, her temperature rising. Her gaze towards Lu Yang was filled with killing intent.
These were all her lines!
“…Sorry.”
Lu Yang hurriedly shrank his body, quietly taking a step towards Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. He continued to lower his head, putting on an aggrieved look of awaiting punishment.
“Enough.”
Seeing this scene, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon finally spoke: “Xingfeng brought it upon himself. After he reincarnates, I will find a way to guide him back to the family.”
For a Perfected One, even scattering the soul didn’t mean true death. Ultimately, within this heaven and earth, shattered souls would still be guided by the [Netherworld] and then reshaped. Although that would mean a completely new person, if one really traced the roots, it could still count as reincarnation.
However, how could Ye Guyue be reconciled with Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon handling it like this?
“Uncle…”
“No need to say more.” Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon interrupted directly: “He already apologized, what more do you want? Really make him pay with his life for Xingfeng, make him reincarnate?”
“You must know, it was you who were in the wrong first!”
Ultimately, he was a Great Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection. His words set the tone, and Ye Guyue could only helplessly shut her mouth, lowering her head to hide the killing intent in her eyes.
Only then did Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon look at Lu Yang:
“The divine ability you obtained is [Sea of Sorrow], right? It shows your Dao Heart is very firm… not bad.”
His gaze was very appreciative. He looked Lu Yang up and down carefully, a strange color flowing in his eyes, as if appraising a seedling with excellent growth potential.
Seeing this, Lu Yang bowed: “Senior overpraises.”
“Rise.”
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon waved his hand. Just then, Heaven Immortal Ming Hua in his hand suddenly spoke: “Fellow Daoist, what exactly… will happen to my [Mystic Spirit World Realm]?”
Heaven Immortal Ming Hua’s tone no longer had the previous arrogance and dominance.
Clearly, he was truly ‘sobered up’…
As his voice fell, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was speechless. After a long time, he slowly shook his head, looking up at the horizon with a heavy expression:
“It’s already… too late!”
As if responding to his words.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise exploded in the dome of the sky. Thousands of brilliant colors dyed the horizon, surprisingly presenting an illusory appearance of a majestic Heavenly Court.
However, around that Heavenly Court, [Dao Fruit] stars were suddenly lit up one by one, surrounding it from east, west, south, and north. Vast starlight was like chains, locking the Heavenly Court layer by layer, preventing it from escaping, dragging it little by little.
Originally just an illusory scene, it became increasingly real.
Instantly, the sky turned scarlet, and flying fire fell from the void. A gluttonous feast unfolded slowly beyond the heavens, making Heaven Immortal Ming Hua’s eyes split with rage.
“The Perfected Lords have already begun to crusade against the heavens and destroy the realm!”
