With a series of loud bangs, all the traitors exploded and died, their Souls completely extinguished.
Only Xie Chen, who had lost all his limbs and whose meridians were completely shattered, crippling his cultivation permanently, remained.
“Kill me! Kill me!” Xie Chen shrieked.
As he was now, it would be far better to simply die. The cultivation he worked hundreds of years to obtain was wiped away by a single wrong decision as retribution for his misdeeds. Xie Chen now had nothing but regrets.
“A quick death is too good for you,” Qian Tong remained indifferent as he waved his hand and staunched the blood flowing from Xie Chen’s wound, reached out, and lifted him up before striding towards Heavenly Fate City.
“Chang’er, Xuan’er, come with this old master. We’re going to save your Martial Uncle Fei!”
Wei Gu Chang and Dong Xuan’er exchanged a glance before excitedly following.
They knew that Qian Tong had truly been enraged this time, otherwise, with his temperament, it would have been impossible for him to launch such a vicious attack. Brutally killing those traitors was not unexpected, but Qian Tong preserving Xie Chen’s life, prolonging his suffering and fear, torturing him in body and mind, proved Qian Tong was going to make a grand statement this time.
“We’ll also follow,” Yang Kai motioned to Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang, “City Lord Fei assisted me in the past as well.”
“Since he is Junior Brother’s benefactor, we must definitely save him,” The two women replied in unison.
…..
Defences were tight in Heavenly Fate City. Every three steps, there was a guard, every five, a watch. It was as if the entire city was on high alert.
At the central square, a dishevelled Fei Zhi Tu was chained and shackled atop a tall stage.
His appearance was terrible and no energy fluctuations were coming from his body. It was unclear whether his cultivation was sealed or crippled.
However, despite his downtrodden appearance, he still stood straight.
Around the square, countless residents of Heavenly Fate City had gathered.
All the people in the crowd looked up at Fei Zhi Tu with expressions of extreme sadness and anger.
Fei Zhi Tu had served as the City Lord of Heavenly Fate City for many years, and although he had not done a perfect job, many from the city appreciated him for protecting their peace and prosperity.
However, since Corpse Spirit Religion had taken over, Heavenly Fate City had been thrown into complete anarchy.
Countless young children had inexplicably disappeared while countless beautiful girls had also been taken. On top of that, any time anyone from Heavenly Fate City showed the slightest bit of resistance, they would be brutally punished.
Compared to when Fei Zhi Tu was City Lord, life was a living hell.
Everyone deeply missed those days!
Today, however, was the date scheduled for Fei Zhi Tu’s execution. Corpse Spirit Religion wanted to use this display as a warning to all of Shadowed Star, about what miserable fate awaited those who dared oppose them.
Not far from Fei Zhi Tu’s high platform, a few high-level leaders from Shadow Moon Hall were seated. In the past, these people all had some connection with Fei Zhi Tu, many of them even calling him brother, but now they had all gathered around a luxuriously dressed young man with clear looks of flattery on their faces.
This boy truly looked quite young, no older than seventeen or eighteen, but his face was abnormally pale and there was an unusually cold aura around him which made everyone quite uncomfortable.
If one got close to this young man, they would be able to smell a faint rancid scent coming from his body.
At this moment, he was sitting under the scorching sun, seemingly a bit irritated. From time to time, he would even look up at the sun in the sky and mutter curses under his breath.
One of the high-ranking traitors from Shadow Moon Hall who noticed this behaviour immediately waved his hand and shouted, “Bring the blood sacrifice!”
With these words, a Saint King Realm cultivator rushed from nearby with a child in his arms.
