CHAPTER 731: CHAPTER 727: ACTIVATION

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, you must not!"

"Sect Master—!"

...

The clamor of voices became chaotic, and the great hall was momentarily filled with raging emotions.

Countless angry, grief-stricken gazes glared at Chu Honglin and his group.

The middle-aged man in a blue robe glared at Chu Honglin, his voice piercing through the waves of grief, saying slowly, "You forced Senior Brother He to his death, are you satisfied?"

Chu Honglin smiled, "Admirable, able to pick up and let go, leaving just like that!"

The man in the blue robe frowned at him, a chill running through his heart.

He was shaken by Chu Honglin’s words of "leaving," hesitating inwardly.

Could it be that Chu Honglin had seen through something?!

The Jade Dynasty should not be underestimated, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come here so quickly.

The Qianji Tower is extremely secretive, and to cover up the Feiyun Sect, they specifically involved several sects together.

Yet the Court came directly to the Feiyun Sect, showing how formidable their extraordinary individuals are.

Might they discover the greatest secret between him and the Sect Master?

Chu Honglin’s gaze burned with intensity as he spoke slowly, "May I ask, who might you be...?"

"Zhou Wangchuan, Elder of Feiyun Sect."

"Elder Zhou, Sect Leader He has already ended his life. Do you still want to resist stubbornly?"

"If we surrender, can the Court guarantee our lives?"

"Yes," Chu Honglin said blandly, "your lives will not be endangered, but the Court has issued a prohibition against further cultivating demonic skills."

"Impossible!" Zhou Wangchuan’s expression changed slightly, and he spoke slowly, "Do you want to abolish our cultivation?"

"The demonic skills you cultivate alter your character, leading easily to extremes, and must be abolished," Chu Honglin said dispassionately. "Otherwise, how can the Court be at ease?"

"Without cultivation, we..."

"Whether you have cultivation or not makes no difference if the Court truly wanted to kill you," Chu Zhiyuan said irritably. "Be a bit more honest, my patience is limited!"

"Our Feiyun Sect..."

"If it weren’t for Elder Brother’s mercy, would you still be allowed to live?" Chu Honglin sneered.

He scanned them coldly, "If it were you, would you be so generous? If you don’t cherish this opportunity, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Originally, his intent to kill was not strong towards Feiyun Sect, thinking it enough to eliminate the chief evildoer.

But upon seeing their expressions, filled with resentment, indignation, and malice.

He changed his mind.

Vaguely feeling that keeping these guys might not be beneficial, they could be future trouble.

If their cultivation can be abolished, observe them for a while; if not, then it’s best to directly eliminate them.

Zhou Wangchuan frowned as he eyed him.

Chu Honglin said, "Do you want to lead them to destruction? Then go ahead and incite them."

Cold glints flashed through Zhou Wangchuan’s eyes as he turned to look at the others.

The crowd stared intensely at Chu Honglin, gradually building a gaze of hatred.

Chu Honglin also coldly scanned them, unwavering.

Zhou Wangchuan took a deep breath and said slowly, "If I end my life here, will you let them go?"

"You want to leave too?" Chu Honglin spoke blandly, "Leaving just like that, isn’t it quick and easy."

Zhou Wangchuan frowned at him.

Chu Honglin said, "At least you haven’t lost all conscience, not wanting them to accompany you to the grave."

After Zhou Wangchuan, this Great Sky Demon should his soul leave the body, then either continue to seize another body or return to the Demon Clan.

Why did He Zixia end his life directly?

Because he knew that once he went to the Imperial City, he certainly couldn’t escape the Observatory, better to leave now than to run for his life later.

This Zhou Wangchuan is the same.

They both want to leave this body before going to the Imperial City.

Though reluctant, they must decisively leave.

But before leaving, whether to push these Feiyun Sect disciples into the abyss or pull them out, it’s all up to a single thought.

Chu Honglin didn’t care; the life and death of these Feiyun Sect disciples were indifferent to him.

Just wanting to see the decision of these two Great Sky Demons.

Zhou Wangchuan turned to the other Feiyun Sect disciples and said slowly, "Looking at it now, we’ve failed, the Court sent these ten Venerables, enough to destroy us."

"Elder Zhou, let’s fight!"

"That’s right, at worst, it’s just a death, what’s the big deal!"

"If we die, just take one down with us!"

"Exactly, if we must die, let’s all go together, so we can have company on the road, how delightful!"

"Born together, die together, lively and bustling!"

The more they spoke, the more excited they became, blood boiling, with no trace of fear left.

Zhou Wangchuan said slowly, "We will all die eventually, but now is not the time to die."

"Elder Zhou..."

"I’ll go first, waiting for everyone below. You all should live a few more years, live well, don’t easily give up this great life."

"Elder Zhou!"

"Everyone carry on for me with the Sect Leader’s lifespan, live well," Zhou Wangchuan said solemnly.

After saying this, he looked at Chu Honglin. "Then I’ll go first, Prince, please keep your promise!"

"...Are you really leaving?" Chu Honglin said, "Spare them a way out?"

"I implore the Prince to spare them a way out, I shall depart."

He spoke, gently tapping his Bai Hui acupoint, causing a muffled "bang" to sound.

Blood flowed from his seven apertures, and the divine light in his eyes quickly darkened until extinguished.

"Elder Zhou!"

"Elder Zhou!"

...

They rushed over to hold him, realizing he had already expired.

The crowd turned to glare at Chu Honglin.

Chu Honglin blandly glanced at him, calmly looking at the dozen or so remaining.

These dozen were the elite of Feiyun Sect, below the Sect Master and Elders, along with other elders and high-level members.

In their eyes, Chu Honglin was cold-hearted and stone-hearted.

Seeing the Sect Master and Elder Zhou sacrifice themselves for a chance of survival left him unmoved, initially cold and stone-hearted.

Chu Honglin, however, said calmly, "Do you want revenge for them? Then strike."

The dozen or so Feiyun Sect experts didn’t move, only glaring furiously at him.

Chu Honglin revealed a look of disappointment, "Then obediently surrender."

They continued to glare at him, even as Chu Honglin stepped forward to seal their acupoints, still glaring, yet ultimately not retaliating.

Without the Sect Master and Elder Zhou, they knew there was no chance of victory; even if they fought, it would only lead to death.

Yet the Sect Master and Elder didn’t want them to die, wanting them to live well.

Let’s see what tricks the Court can play. At most, they would face death.

...

Chu Zhiyuan had been using Super Sensing Illumination; upon discovering He Zixia’s self-ending, he understood He Zixia’s plan.

He intended to display the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, aware that the distance limited its power.

Thus, he moved closer, intending to deploy the Great Demon Suppressing Seal when he suddenly sensed a change.

He took out the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror.

The Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror glowed faintly.

Chu Zhiyuan, intrigued, surveyed it, using Super Sense Insight, observed a natural emergence of soft light from it.

A ray of faint soft light emerged from the mirror, precisely striking a soul floating in mid-air.

It was the soul of the Great Sky Demon.

The soft light met the soul, enveloped it instantly, and swiftly returned, piercing into the mirror.

Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit surged.

He clearly saw He Zixia’s soul being drawn into the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror.

Once the soul entered the mirror, it became obliterated within, causing the mirror to renew slightly.

The original air of antiquity and age vanished slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan was astounded.

This Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror unexpectedly required no activation, directly capturing the soul of the Great Sky Demon.

Subsequently, Zhou Wangchuan’s soul was also seized and devoured by the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror.

Thus, the mirror became even newer.
