Chapter 558: Go to Hell After Saying That (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Elder Wu was not afraid at all. He said coldly, “Pavilion Master Shen, this is the Yue Hua Sect. Even if you’re at the Mahayana Realm, don’t be impudent!”
The sect’s grand array was activated and bursts of light emitted from the pillars in the hall. In the blink of an eye, a powerful oppressive aura trapped Shen Ping and Yue Lingluo like a cage.
Elder Wu said coldly, “Under this array formation, you can only unleash the strength of a Body Integration cultivator. If not for your master, you would definitely not have walked out of the Yue Hua Sect today!”
Shen Ping said expressionlessly, “Are you done?”
“Hmph.” Elder Wu snorted coldly.
The other elders looked at Shen Ping happily. In their eyes, Pavilion Master Shen had already become a bird in a cage.
“Since you’re done talking, go to hell!” As soon as she finished speaking, a light blade as thin as a cicada’s wing shot out from his sleeve.
Elder Wu’s reaction was extremely fast. A green shield immediately condensed in front of him. However, the shield could not even block it for a moment and instantly shattered. The light blade pierced through the shield and shattered his protective vestment, quickly leaving a trace of blood between his eyebrows.
“You…” Sensing the special energy wreaking havoc in his body, Elder Wu’s eyes widened, and his pupils were filled with surprise. He could not understand how he could not even resist when they were both at the Mahayana Realm.
Bam. Just as his body fell heavily, his eyes were already filled with regret. As a Mahayana Realm expert, he still had a lot of lifespan that he had yet to enjoy, but today, he died in vain.
As Elder Wu died, the entire hall was terrifyingly quiet. All the elders of the Yue Hua Sect stared fixedly at the corpse on the ground. Their bodies were trembling, and their eyes were filled with fear.
This was the Mahayana Realm! He was not a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. He had died in front of them in the blink of an eye. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they could not believe their eyes.
“Now you can talk.” Shen Ping looked at these elders and smiled faintly. “I allow you to speak.” No one dared to make a sound. The hall was still so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. “Alright, since no one knows where the disciples of the Heavenly Lotus Sect are, there’s no need for you to exist.”
“I, I know!!” The elder in charge of plundering and trading hurriedly shouted. His forehead was covered in sweat as he trembled and said, “They’re in the Bone Mound, it was once the battlefield of the righteous and demonic paths of the human race. There are countless soul fiends wreaking havoc there. It can block all divine sense methods.”
Shen Ping came to a realization after hearing this. “Bone Mound. No wonder our Treasure Pavilion couldn’t find any traces. Lingluo, stay here and watch. I’ll be back soon.” As he spoke, he left behind the silk blade and disappeared.
As a high-level beast spirit treasure, the silk blade naturally had spirituality. As long as he left some magic power, he could kill this group of elders at any time.
And that was the truth.
In the hall, the elders of the Yue Hua Sect did not dare to move at all. The scene of Elder Wu’s death just now had really shocked them.
After all, no one had the courage to face death head-on. The longer they lived, the more afraid they were of death. This was because only after having it would they be afraid of losing it. These Body Integrations could easily live for tens of thousands of years. How could they bear to die?
Bone Mound.
Shen Ping’s figure slowly appeared, and many miserable screams and cries sounded in his ears as if he was hallucinating. He activated the Pupil of Sea Beast, and soon, the huge bone tomb was no longer a secret in his line of sight. Seeing Xuan Ling of the Heavenly Lotus Sect and the hundreds of other female cultivators, he flicked his sleeve and stepped over.
A few breaths later, Xuan Ling and the hundreds of female cultivators were all grateful. After Shen Ping brought them out of the Bone Mound, he returned to the Yue Hua Sect’s main hall. When the elders of the Yue Hua Sect saw Shen Ping appear again, they were shocked and glad that they did not move recklessly.
Yue Lingluo transmitted her voice, “Husband, have you saved them?”
Shen Ping nodded and looked at the elders. “Tell me, who instructed you to do it?”
“This, this…” The elder in charge hesitated and did not dare to reply. The other elders were the same. As this matter concerned the Itinerant Immortals of the main sect, they did not dare to speak bluntly.
Pfft.
The silk blade moved and a Body Integration elder fell. The remaining elders were terrified. The elder in charge gritted his teeth and said, “I-It’s Tai Hua Sect. These female cultivators who still have their virgin primordial yin are extremely good artifact refinement materials for the cultivators of the Myriad Bones Demon Sect. The Myriad Bones Demon Sect is a hidden sect of the Demon Race in the Western District. It’s mainly used to trade resources with other races. Among them, the Yin Essence Flowers, Demon Quenching Vines, and other resources needed by Itinerant Immortals are only available in the Demon Race.”
He explained everything in detail. This made Shen Ping very satisfied. “You’re not bad. As for the others…”
“Pavilion Master Shen, no, don’t kill us. We were forced. How can we, Body Integration, dare to disobey the pressure of an Itinerant Immortal!” An elder hurriedly said. The other elders nodded repeatedly.
Shen Ping said calmly, “Yes, you were forced. With a thought from the Tai Hua Sect’s Itinerant Immortals, you have to do as they say. But some things are done. I can give you a chance to live, though. As long as you are willing to expose and announce what the Tai Hua Sect has done, you can live.”
As soon as he said this, all the elders fell silent. Wasn’t this forcing them to die? If they were exposed, Tai Hua Sect’s Itinerant Immortals would be the first to not let them off.
“I’m going to die either way. I’ll fight you to the death!”
Some elders were still brave. However, there were still a few elders who lowered their heads and did not say anything. Especially when they saw the corpses on the ground of the hall, they were even more afraid. They nodded repeatedly and agreed to expose them.
“Very well. I hope to hear the human cultivators of the Western District talk about this in half a month. If you don’t, you should understand the consequences.” With that, he left with Yue Lingluo.
Twenty minutes passed. The remaining elders in the main hall heaved a sigh of relief. When they were completely sure that Shen Ping had left, they immediately looked angry.
“Detestable, truly detestable. He’s too arrogant. We have to report this matter to Tai Hua Sect’s Itinerant Immortal senior. The True Treasure Pavilion is in trouble!”
“That’s right. Even if he’s at the Mahayana Realm, he won’t be able to survive if he dares to offend an Itinerant Immortal.”
“Let’s go to the Tai Hua Sect now!”
These elders did not mention what had just happened at all, as if they had forgotten.
On the way back to Sword Seal City, Yue Lingluo couldn’t help but ask, “Husband, those elders won’t do it.”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “I know. I’m letting them off for the time being only to let them inform the Itinerant Immortals of the Tai Hua Sect. Although those high and mighty Itinerant Immortals won’t feel guilty because of some female cultivators at the Divine Transformation or Nascent Soul realm, I still want to see their reaction.”
Yue Lingluo was silent for a moment before she said faintly, “The cultivation world is cruel to begin with. Even cultivators who carry out righteousness will be tainted by blood. It’s difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Husband, I hope you don’t have such an obsession.”
Shen Ping knew what Yue Lingluo was worried about. Since ancient times, people who were too stubborn about the difference between good and evil would eventually be devoured by this. In the end, they would even be driven by their inner demons and it would be very difficult for them to go far. He did this purely because he was unhappy. If he did not hear about this, he could ignore it. However, if he heard about it, he would have to seek an explanation as long as it was within his ability.
Tai Hua Sect.
After Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling received the news, she frowned. She stared at the Yue Hua Sect elder and asked, “Are you sure that the Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion has broken through to the Mahayana Realm?”
Elder Yue Hua hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes. Not only did he break through to the Mahayana Realm, but he was also extremely powerful. He instantly killed Elder Wu, and it was even under the restraint of the sect’s array formation.”
Hong Ling frowned even more, “Although Elder Wu’s strength is average in the Mahayana Realm, if one wants to kill him in an instant, they have to have the strength of the mid-stage Tribulation Transcendence realm!”
“I dare not exaggerate at all.” Yue Hua Sect’s elder said in fear.
“You may leave!”
“Yes!”
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling looked at the current sect master of the Tai Hua Sect. “This matter is difficult to handle. The Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion is nothing, but his master is extraordinary. He has the backing of a Heavenly Immortal. For the time being, our Tai Hua Sect cannot have a conflict with the True Treasure Pavilion.”
When the Sect Master heard this, he could not help but say, “Elder Hong Ling, can you push this matter to the True Treasure Pavilion?”
