Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain - Chapter 798 - Real Elopement

Feng Ling had asked to see him?

Daoist Master Feng Yin was quite surprised. What was she doing here at this time?

However, soon his heart was filled with joy: regardless of the cause, this was the first time little Ling’Er took the initiative to visit him in years! It didn’t matter if this was because she was hallucinating after accidentally eating poisonous mushroom. Since people have come, then don’t think about leaving… No, as long as she came, it was better than anything!

Even more, what if his years of persistent dedication had finally influenced little Ling’Er? What if little Ling’Er really recognized him as a father and decided to be a filial daughter?

This was an even more euphoric feeling than if he had a breakthrough in Peak Deity Stage!

However, the emotion that followed was hesitation. At this moment, he shouldn’t be distracted by anything. Wang Wu’s defensive battle in the crack in the sky was related to the life and death future of Nine Regions. There was no room for failure. Many people chose to completely lock themselves from everyone while he monopolized the Stellar Peak, but actually, he had the idea of not seeing outsiders. At a time like this, he should focus more.

However… Judging from the current situation, there didn’t seem to be an urgency. As the shadow-core of the grand array, Feng Yin shouldered heavy responsibilities, but the pressure on him was lighter than the others. Because he knew his Junior Sister better than anyone else, he was more efficient at work. When other people had to fully focus, he could spare some energy to consider other things.

And now, did he want to spend some energy to entertain his ‘daughter?’

This question did not make Feng Yin hesitate for a long time.

Of course he welcomed her!

Not long after the decision was made, Feng Yin saw the figure of Feng Ling. The girl pursed her lips as usual and didn’t look very happy. However, being able to see her at Stellar Peak already made Feng Yin more happy than anything else.

“Hahaha, little Ling’Er, you’re here.”

“Hmph, what are you smirking about? You look like an idiot!”

“Hahaha…”

“Hahaha-what? If you laugh like that again, I’m gone.”

“Wait. Don’t go. I won’t smile, ok?” Feng Yin quickly closed his mouth, but the sparkles in his eyes couldn’t be contained.

　　——

At the same time, at the Behead Immortal Platform in Central Region, a much anticipated ceremony was about to begin.

A ceremony for the execution of the Earth Immortal.

Behead Immortal Platform was a high mountain that looked like a square where the top of the mountain was level. A bloodied Bai Ze was tied with immortal rope to a thorn pillar. All around him was bare mountains and rocks. His blood flew through the cracks in the rocks. The cracks were endless, like countless rivers of blood, they flowed in all directions. They dyed the Behead Immortal Platform until it looked like an overflowing wine cup.

There was a sea of people at the foot of the mountain. More than ten thousand people had gathered because of the news, and the place was packed with people.

It was strictly forbidden to fly near the Behead Immortal Platform, thus the cultivators stayed on the ground. They couldn’t see the situation on the stage if they were too close. However, the blood flowing around the Behead Immortal Platform had aroused their enthusiasm.

The enthusiasm for this bound-to-a-thorn-pillar Earth Immortal was unprecedentedly high. Most of it, of course, was to curse him for his vicious attempt to attack the Red Sea Underwater Workshop. But then some more experienced cultivators began to share with everyone the glorious deeds of Bai Ze during the Grand Competition 15 years ago.

“This guy hasn’t been a good thing from the beginning. Without him, it was very likely that we didn’t have to fight against the Earth Immortals at all, which added a lot of loss and even killed many brothers.”

“Eh, I heard that it was made by a man named Black.”

“They’re all the same, they’re all bad.”

In addition, some people questioned why he would commit suicide to attack the Red Sea Underwater Workshop, which currently was the most important place in the Nine Regions. It was designed and built according to the standard that could resist the attack of the Fallen Immortals. He was just an Earth Immortal, and he was not the strongest among them. Why did he, for inexplicable reason, go to the Red Sea Underwater Workshop to court for disaster? Was there anything hidden in it?

However, the speculation about this would soon be overturned.

“This Bai Ze is simply an idiot. During the Grand Competition, he was simply played with, as if he was just a toy, in the hands of Daoist Master Non-Phase. It is said that Wang Lu’s strength has not yet achieved great success at that time. Yet, the barely reaching Peak Jindan Stage Wang Lu fought with him and seemed to have won. Thus, it can be seen how weak this guy is.”

Because Baize was stupid enough, there seemed to be a reasonable explanation for whatever things he did.

Amidst the discussion, time passed, and soon it was time for the execution.

The cultivators of Shengjing who were in charge of the execution, stood on the four corners of the platform and joined hands to cast the spell. Quickly, dark clouds came over and covered the sunlight. The lightning snaked through the dark clouds, and then thunder came.

The so-called Behead Immortal Platform was not a place to slash the celestial being with an immortal sword or a treasured blade. When the thunder fell, the person on the thorn pillar naturally collapsed and turned into ashes. It was cleaner and more thorough than any immortal treasure.

Bai Ze looked up and watched the approaching tribulation lightning, but his heart was at peace.

What should have been done had been done. Although the result was not ideal, he had no regret.

From a very early time, he had been used to setbacks… In fact, objectively speaking, Bai Ze was not stupid. How could a stupid person cultivate until Mahayana Stage and join Sun Buping’s team? However, Bai Ze’s life was indeed full of ups and downs. It was as if there was a mysterious will between heaven and earth that prevented him from doing something. Thus, he simply cultivated the Negation Immortal Technique, which was simply an alternative route. And after he embarked on this path, he was used to failure.

In Sun Buping’s team, because the object of his negation was Sun Buping, one in a hundred of his negation opinions might not be accepted. Most of the time, his hard admonition was like nonsense, and they even provoked people’s disgust. However, Bai Ze persisted.

It was a very substantial path, but also very hard. Fortunately, the hard path finally came to an end.

With difficulty, he lowered his head and saw the flowing rivers of blood and the crowd of people under the Behead Immortal Platform. Although he could hear the curses, his heart was still as tranquil as the lake.

“Now it’s up to you.”

Xia Xiaohe was a terrifying opponent. She pretended to go to the Western Continent and just let Bai Ze and Xuan Mo’s situation completely collapse in the ‘loosen the reins only to grasp them better’ move… When Bai Ze learned that Xia Xiaohe was still in Nine Regions, he knew that his plan to spread the risk had failed. Thus, he resolutely attacked the Red Sea Underwater Workshop in order to die.

However, the strange thing was that he didn’t die on the spot. It was as if some mysterious power had protected him at a critical time to allow him to be captured alive and sent to Behead Immortal Platform for public display.

Bai Ze guessed that the trouble maker ought to be Xia Xiaohe, but he could not figure out the purpose of the other party. Was it just to increase the amount of torture that he had to suffer? That was too trivial… However, Xia Xiaohe’s works were mysterious and unpredictable, so there was no need to guess her motive. He was a person that was about to die, why would he need to to think about it? Nine Regions had Wang Lu with his countless ingenious ideas. Let Wang Lu compete with Xia Xiaohe.

As he thought of this, the thunder above him was getting louder and louder and the distance between him and the tribulation lighting was getting closer and closer.

Bai Ze closed his eyes and waited quietly for the judgment to come.

However, before the judgment came, he heard a familiar voice.

“Bai Ze, I’m here.”

The next moment, Bai Ze opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with an inexplicable look.

“You… Why are you here?”

“I’m here to save you.” Xuan Mo’s expression was firm.

“What a joke, are you out of your mind?” Bai Ze was angry and said, “Was all that I said to you before for nothing? Go! If you don’t leave now, it will be too late!”

At the same time, many people that gathered around the Behead Immortal Platform stared in shock at the sudden appearance of the woman.

Who was she? An enthusiastic audience? The tribulation lightning was about to arrive, yet she flew so close to him, did she want to die together? The tribulation lightning summoned by the Shengjing Sect cultivators did not recognize anyone…

But soon, people saw some ominous omen from the sudden changes in the faces of the several Shengjing.Sect cultivators. It was likely that the uninvited visitor did not come with good intentions. A big change was about to happen in this ceremony.

“In front of the thorn pillar, Xuan Mo smiled and said, “I renege.”

“You…”

Xuan Mo said, “I don’t want to stand on the side of Xia Xiaohe, nor on the side of Nine Regions. I… I just want to be on your side. ”

“Are you crazy?”

Xuan Mo opened her mouth and said a few words, but her voice was drowned by the sound of thunder above their heads. Thus, she raised her head and said, “Part.”

The next moment, the thick dark clouds parted into two. A crack from the south to the north tore the layer of cloud and then swept them to the side. In an instant, the thunder was completely engulfed and practically nothing was left.

“Xuan Mo!”

Bai Ze’s eyes cracked as he loudly roared!

He was not surprised that Xuan Mo was able to tear apart the tribulation lightning, but he was shocked at Xuan Mo’s purpose for doing so.

This was the Behead Immortal Platform of Central Region, which was not far from Shengjing Sect. Making a scene here was tantamount to seeking one’s own death. It was not that different than going straight to the Red Sea Underwater Workshop. This step of Xuan Mo was the same as throwing all the previous things into the water. The two of them would die for nothing!

“So what?” Xuan Mo smiled softly and said, “Actually, I have long wanted to say that the future of this continent is in the hands of its people, why do we need to risk our lives like this? Didn’t you hear what the people below were saying?”

Bai Ze spoke with difficulty, “Why bother with those ignorant people?”

“Since there’s no need to care for those ignorant people, then just let them die. Oh, I know you’re going to negate me. You have always liked to negate others, but this time, I won’t give you the chance to speak.”

With that, Xuan Mo attached a piece of golden talisman paper to Bai Ze’s mouth.

Then she waved her hand to cut off the thorns, tore off the immortal rope, picked Bai Ze up, and then flew away.

During the whole process, there were nearly ten thousand cultivators around the Behead Immortal Peak, but no one could react and stop her.

　　——

“What a beautiful escape. Unfortunately, their fates are already sealed.”

Not far from the Behead Immortal Peak, Xia Xiaohe watched Xuan Mo flew away, shook her head with a smile, and then turned her head and asked, “How many people do you think the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals will send to pursue and kill them? And if Xuan Mo rebelled again, how many people would she kill? Then, how much impact will the killing of these people have on Nine Regions Map?

Next to Xia Xiaohe, a man in a red and white robe replied, “It doesn’t matter how many people died, what matters the most is the chaos caused by this thing. Bai Ze and Xuan Mo have high prestige in the Earth Immortal camp. Being chased and killed in a tragic death will chill many people’s hearts. Tsk, the public execution of Bai Ze in Behead Immortal Peak was simply too absurd. If it hadn’t been for the fact that too many capable people had been transferred to Nine Regions Map and their places were temporarily replaced by a group of talentless people, this decision would not have been made.”

With a sincere and concerned look, Xia Xiaohe softly said, “Oh, then what should you do now? You see, although you know it clearly in your heart, as long as I’m here, you can’t do anything to clean up the situation. ”

Wang Lu laughed and said, “So what? As long as you are dead, this loss is nothing at all.”
