CHAPTER 1307: CHAPTER 1281: THE SAINT LORD’S LAST FRENZY

The matters in Donglin City have been resolved, and Lin Feifei and everyone else have all advanced to the Golden Core Realm. The small world has also been well developed. Many things have been brought in from outside, and with Lin Feifei and their group at the Golden Core Realm personally handling things, the small world has naturally been transformed quickly, turning into a true wonderland. Even Ghost Doctor Lin Feifei and the others have all moved into the small world, as have Xiao Yu, Yang Xiaoyu, and the others.

Moreover, Tangyu has placed a large number of spiritual stones in the small world and set up a Spirit Gathering Array, making the small world quite suitable for cultivation.

Having done these things, Tangyu is also preparing to root out and completely deal with the hidden threat of those four Zifu Realm individuals. On Xiao Yu’s end, intelligence has been gathered, and it’s now possible to determine the hiding places of these four Zifu Realm individuals. Even if the intelligence is not entirely accurate, Tangyu has decided to flush them out this time. If Tangyu is set on investigating, it’s quite an easy matter, just a matter of spending some effort and time.

Tangyu’s first stop is Myriad Saints Valley. Tangyu, along with Sun Wukong, Brother, and Second Brother, returned to Myriad Saints Valley. The once familiar Holy Sun Town is now desolate, with not a single person in sight.

Seeing this, Tangyu and Yu Feng both furrowed their brows slightly. They held considerable feelings for Myriad Saints Valley.

Tangyu said, "According to Xiao Yu’s intel, the entire Ancient Martial World is now ruled by a self-proclaimed Saint Lord, a Zifu Great Power, and all the Ancient Martial Artists have been concentrated in Myriad Saints Valley. Myriad Saints Valley was originally a Skies Beyond the Skies, now transformed into a small world by that Saint Lord. Let’s go in first before we talk further."

Tangyu quickly found the boundary of the small world and opened it directly, allowing the four of them to enter the small world without hindrance. Such a small world naturally couldn’t block them. Upon entering the small world, it was indeed vastly different from the previous Myriad Saints Valley, and had been expanded greatly. There were also many more buildings. But in front of them were neat rows of Ancient Martial Artists, lined up to block Tangyu and the others’ way.

Among these figures were many familiar to Tangyu, most of whom he had met. At the front stood familiar faces. Yet, these people were commanded to stand there, blocking Tangyu and the others. When they saw Tangyu and the four of them, they were all excited, but they dared not resist.

Tangyu’s gaze swept towards a figure on the high palace at the back of the 100,000-strong army, precisely that of Saint Lord Wan Yang. Wan Yang’s face was now twisted with a crazed look, like a fierce beast, eyes fixed fiercely on Tangyu and the others.

Tangyu stood there and said, "Saint Lord? Hmph, just a mere Zifu Realm Sixth Layer cultivator dares to call himself a Saint Lord? You really dare to call yourself that. You’re Wan Yang, huh? You slaughtered so many Ancient Martial Artists from my Earth; just this sin alone is enough for you to die several times. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, now commit suicide to atone, and I may leave you a whole corpse. Dare to do evil on Earth, you must be prepared to die. Your crimes are unforgivable. I now pronounce your death sentence."

Tangyu stood there with his hands behind his back, his booming voice delivering the sentence like a Heavenly God, capable of determining someone’s life or death.

This grandeur inspired awe, but the supreme authority in his words left no room for doubt about their authenticity.

Wan Yang was also seething, knowing full well that Tangyu was not to be trifled with, not only Tangyu but also that Monkey beside him was a tough adversary. Wan Yang knew his strength was inadequate to handle Tangyu and the others. But being sentenced to death like that was something he couldn’t stand: "Hmph, who do you think you are? Passing a death sentence on me? You really think highly of yourself. When I, Wan Yang, was dominating a region, you wouldn’t even know where you were. A junior dares to bluster in front of me, truly senseless."

"Just some disobedient mortals; killing them was no different than squashing a few ants, and yet you come prattling to me, how laughable."

Tangyu was also furious: "There may be distinctions among people, but life has no ranking of high or low. Even if they are mortals, they have the right to live. If they haven’t done wrong, then no one can take away their lives. According to our Earth’s laws, murder warrants death. Even if they are insignificant, they are members of Earth’s Ancient Martial World. Their lives are not yours to take. After taking so many lives, the only outcome for you is death."

"The law? Laughable, what is it? You’ve spent time in the Cultivation World and shouldn’t you find it childish to say such things to me? You should know the survival laws of the Cultivation World. Execution for murder, how laughable. Rules are set by the strong, not by you mortals. If we talk about execution for murder, you’ve killed so many; why not commit suicide to atone?" Wan Yang sneered.

Tangyu said, "Those I killed got what they deserved; they were meant to die. As you said, rules are set by the strong, so here, I can pass the sentence on you."

"Ha ha!" Wan Yang laughed rather than got angry, his laughter laced with scorn and swagger: "Good, very good. Since you insist on killing me, there’s no further to discuss. I, Wan Yang, a dignified Zifu Great Power, will not be bullied by a young whelp. Here, are all your Ancient Martial World people, now their lives are in my hands. I embedded Life Charms within them, and with just a thought, they would all die."

"I set up the formation long before, waiting for you to come; rescuing them is impossible. Their lives are in my hand. With just a thought, these people would die because of you. You want to kill me; I know I’m no match for you, but if you want Wan Yang dead, it won’t be so easy, I can just take you all down with me. With a hundred thousand funerals, I wouldn’t be losing."

"Come now, Tangyu, Sun Wukong, if you want to kill me, then do it."

Wan Yang had completely gone mad; this was his final frenzy. A person facing death can be the most terrifying and insane.

Zi Cang and Yu Feng also furrowed their brows. They too understood the current situation. If Wan Yang truly became this crazed, they indeed needed to carefully deliberate on killing him. Otherwise, causing the entire Ancient Martial World’s hundred thousand people to be buried with him was something they would not wish to see.

That would also be an enormous sin.

For a moment, Zi Cang and Yu Feng couldn’t think of any good way or strategy. Sun Wukong, standing there, scratched his head anxiously, teeth bared in frustration.

Tangyu’s gaze was cold, looking at Wan Yang with a chilling demeanor.

"Haha, why don’t you dare to make a move? Come on, if you want to kill me, then do it. Let’s see whether you are more ruthless, or I am. Aren’t you the spiritual leaders of the Ancient Martial World? Don’t you want to protect the Ancient Martial World? If everyone in the Ancient Martial World dies because of you, what kind of scene would that be? What kind of sin would that entail? Such a sin is enough to haunt you for a lifetime, making you unable to live or die peacefully."

"Every day, the ghosts of a hundred thousand people will haunt you. They are innocent; they shouldn’t have died, but they will be killed because of you. Haha, come on, do you dare to kill me? If you dare, then strike. You’ve pushed me, Wan Yang, into such a desperate situation, so how can I not go mad?"

"We five brothers just wanted something simple, not to die in the chaos of the Cultivation World, so we hid away. We finally entered this small world, wanting to live a better life, yet you came? Feng Xiao died at your hands; we don’t have the power to seek revenge, so let it be. But you still want to kill us all off; don’t you think that’s too much?"

Tangyu said, "Then what do you want?"

Wan Yang smirked, then said, "What do I want? It’s simple—we just want to live. We won’t go back to the Cultivation World again. If you do not allow us on Earth, that’s fine. We found a place on Earth that connects to another small world. Promise to let us four go, and we’ll immediately leave Earth for that small world. Do not interfere with anything we do. We can swear to the heavens never to set foot on Earth again. Thus, we each get what we want, isn’t that a win-win?"

"You are Earthlings, you must defend Earth, I understand that. Other small worlds should have nothing to do with you. We four brothers just want to rule a small world and live a stable, enjoyable life."

Tangyu’s heart sneered; naturally, he could never agree to this. In any case, Tangyu had some ties with the Dark World; he could never commit such a damaging act. If he betrayed the Dark World like this, let alone others, Tangyu himself would not respect himself.

Yet, Tangyu showed a slight smile: "Is that it? If that’s the case, you should’ve said so earlier. This deal can still be discussed."

Zi Cang and Yu Feng also looked at Tangyu with some astonishment. Such words shouldn’t have come from Tangyu’s mouth.

Upon hearing Tangyu’s words, Wan Yang’s smile relaxed a bit: "I knew you were a wise person; I love dealing with wise people the most. Isn’t this great? It’s beneficial for everyone. Why make things so rigid, relying on fighting and killing, relying on bloodshed to resolve issues? We are all Zifu Realm Great Powers; fighting benefits no one. Though your strength is strong, I, Wan Yang, am not weak. Even if I can’t beat you, it won’t be so easy for you to kill me."

"Isn’t settling things peacefully wonderful? Now, let’s discuss—um, no, Tangyu you—"

Wan Yang had not finished speaking when his face drastically changed, filled with horror, for he sensed the crisis of death. A terrifying array of blades suddenly came slashing from the void, right before him, leaving him no room to evade. Seeing these blades coming at him naturally left Wan Yang utterly terrified, his face contorted in fear, his eyes filled with endless fury, cursing Tangyu.

But at this moment, he could only muster all his strength to defend, making a last desperate stand.

However, everything came too fast, and the approach was too fierce and overbearing, leaving him utterly unable to resist.
