NOVPUBBaili Xiao quickly shook her head and knelt down beside Xu Qingshan, her head knocking "bang bang bang" on the floor, blood dyeing the earth red, "Sect Master, I beg you, spare him please."
"Do you really think I can tolerate everything indefinitely?" Xu Qingshan replied indifferently, "Previously, the Sect Gate shielded you from the Immortal Spirit Sect’s retaliation for the incident in Qingyang Village."
"On the competition stage, the Sixth Elder blatantly broke the rules by entering the stage, and I didn’t say anything."
"Do you now truly believe that the Empress’s inheritance gives you the freedom to do as you please?"
Xu Qingshan laughed bitterly with extreme anger, "Fine, very well."
"Since you love him so much, I will remove your status as the heir to the Empress, strip you of your inheritance, and let you die alongside him."
"Sect Master, Xiao’er is ignorant," the Sixth Elder quickly stepped forward and said.
"Enough, I have yet to settle the score with you for trespassing on the stage, appearing to knowingly break the law as one of the seven Elders—I will have the Enforcement Hall deal with this accordingly," Xu Qingshan interrupted the Sixth Elder, speaking indifferently.
Then, with a wave of Xu Qingshan’s right hand, he prepared to directly strip Baili Xiao of her Flying Immortal Body.
"Sect Master Xu, please hold your hand," a vast voice exploded in the sky at this moment.
Two figures were seen approaching through the sky, both exuding an imposing aura, with seven Vein Gates open around them.
These two were indeed powerful beings in the Saint Vein Realm.
Looking at Xu Qingshan frowning slightly, one of the men quickly said, "Sect Master Xu, I am the current Family Head of the Baili Family from the Eastern Continent, Baili Chengfeng."
"Baili Chengfeng?" Xu Qingshan was startled, then glanced at Baili Xiao next to him, frowning slightly as if he understood something.
"Sect Master Xu, Xiao’er is indeed my daughter who has been living adrift outside," Baili Chengfeng sighed, "Because the family’s power was too complex at the time, I did not dare to bring her back to the family.
"Now that everything is finally settled, I came to find her, hoping that Sect Master Xu would sympathize with the feelings of a father.
"We are willing to return the inheritance of the Empress to the Holy Sect, as long as you let me take her away."
"Today, the lives of these people are in Mo Er’s hands, if he does not wish to save them, I will not interfere with anything," Xu Qingshan replied.
The Baili Family is located in the central position of the Eastern Continent, and their family had once produced a Great Emperor.
Named Baili Changkong, with the imperial title of Emperor Changkong.
Although their power is not comparable to that of the True Martial Holy Sect, a sect with four emperors under the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect, it should not be underestimated.
"What would you like, Young Master Xu? Make any request, and you can ask," Baili Chengfeng looked at Xu Zimei, inquiring.
"I can spare her," Xu Zimei replied, "but I want one opportunity, a chance to enter your Baili Family’s Forbidden Land, the Heavenly Primordial small world."
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Baili Chengfeng frowned slightly, "Young Master Xu, the Forbidden Land is controlled by the Clan Elders, I cannot decide on this matter."
"Then forget about it, you can take your daughter’s corpse back with you," Xu Zimei shook his head, replying.
"Baili Chengfeng, it was because of your cowardice that year that my sister had to wander with her child alone, and she could not wait to see you one last time before her death," Xiao Ruoxue, the Sixth Elder, burst out and yelled at Baili Chengfeng, "If today you witness the death of your own daughter before your eyes, how could you still have the face to live in this world."
Hearing Xiao Ruoxue’s words, Baili Chengfeng fell silent for a long while, eventually letting out a long sigh and looking at Xu Zimei, he said, "I agree to your request."
Xu Zimei nodded, then turned around and leaned close to Baili Xiao’s ear, whispering with a low laugh, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you die so quickly."
"This is just the beginning, today, you can first enjoy the feeling of watching your dearly beloved die in front of you."
"Next time, I will make your father, your clan members, one by one, all die in front of you."
"That feeling must be wonderful, mustn’t it?"
"Demon, you’re inhuman, you demon," Baili Xiao stepped back, looking at Xu Zimei with a horrified expression as she yelled.
Xu Zimei chuckled lightly and walked past Baili Xiao, coming to stand before Chu Yang.
The two stood face to face; Chu Yang’s gaze was clear and resolute, absent of fear at the approach of death, with only a subtle hint of defiance.
"How do you wish to die?" Xu Zimei asked indifferently.
"Whether it’s a swift beheading or dismemberment into thousand pieces, how I die doesn’t matter," Chu Yang replied calmly, "Just like the Yin-Yang Ancestral Master said.
Some die nameless, while others’ names resound throughout the world after their death.
Whether lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, the truth is I just want to live meaningfully and die meaningfully.
Unfortunately, the heavens do not bend to my will, but I know that fate is often unfair." 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Xu Zimei fell silent, quietly picking up Tyrant Shadow.
The wheel of memories slowly turned, like a sigh emanating from the depths of ancient times.
He let out a long breath, and Xu Zimei wondered why, in his past life, he had become enemies with Chu Yang.
In the early days of his past life, Chu Yang actually bore no malice toward the True Martial Holy Sect.
He also knew that he was just an ordinary village boy, while Baili Xiao had already become the Saintess of Imperial Rule Immortal Sect.
They were worlds apart in status, and he practiced cultivation hard, just to catch up with Baili Xiao’s pace.
Unfortunately, the moment he learned that Baili Xiao had a childhood sweetheart, jealousy got the better of him, and he sent men to kill Chu Yang.
And so, Chu Yang was forced onto a different path, one where he could only stand against the True Martial Holy Sect.
Was Chu Yang wrong? From the standpoint of worldly righteousness, the one at fault was he, Xu Zimei, for pushing Chu Yang onto this path where he had no choice but to see the True Martial Holy Sect as an enemy.
.........
"Am I wrong?" Xu Zimei laughed wildly, his right hand covering his face, his head slightly bowed, his smile sounded incredibly eerie.
"I can’t be wrong, and if you think I am, I’ll kill you."
Xu Zimei pointed at the bound members of the Yin-Yang Sect next to him, speaking to Chu Yang, "If they think I’m wrong, then I’ll kill them all.
If this world’s sense of righteousness thinks I’m wrong, then I will overthrow everything and make my own rules.
If this world thinks I’m wrong, then I will destroy everything, burying all beings in oblivion.
I can’t be wrong, and even if I am, you all have to believe that I’m right.
These are my rules," Xu Zimei declared.
Chu Yang watched Xu Zimei serenely, smiling as well, "You too will die, right?
When your life reaches its end, there will come such a day. I’ll be waiting."
"Fine," Xu Zimei chuckled, his voice hoarse.
Following that, Tyrant Shadow burst forth with a blinding light, fiercely stabbing into Chu Yang’s abdomen.
Grasping Tyrant Shadow, Xu Zimei slowly lifted it, intending to split Chu Yang’s upper body in two.
"With no fear in my heart, nothing in this world can strike fear," Chu Yang said composedly, his final gaze turned toward the utterly devastated girl next to him.
"They say that when a person dies, they become a star in the sky, watching over the ones they love; I’m sure I’ll be the brightest one," he said.
His eyes gradually dimmed, and his life froze at that final moment.
Xu Zimei knew that he had killed Chu Yang, but he had not destroyed his opponent’s heart.
That heart, fearless and undaunted.
Even at the moment of death, that indomitable spirit remained unshaken.
