Everyone spoke with enthusiasm.
Seeing Situ Xiuneng’s Vein Technique, everyone felt relieved.
In the next moment, suddenly a mass of flames exploded on the top of Yunlan Mountain, dyeing the entire sky red.
The Thousand Leaping Artery Skill disappeared!
"Self-Exploding Vein Skill!"
One person couldn’t believe his own thought and voiced it out.
Lu Ming’s face, which had been full of smiles, instantly froze, replaced by a heavy seriousness, "Could it really be the Self-Exploding Vein Skill?"
He dared not think of a second possibility.
Because the second possibility was more terrifying.
That is, the Vein Technique was broken by the opponent.
If the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill was truly broken by an opponent, Situ Xiuneng might not have long to live. After all, the Thousand Leaping Artery Skill could withstand attacks from a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert.
"Should we go up the mountain to help?"
"Lu brother, what should we do?"
The sound of questions filled with deep unease reached Lu Ming’s ears from the crowd.
"Let’s go and see!" Lu Ming didn’t even think of Situ Xiuneng’s order anymore, it was urgent to go up and help since Situ Xiuneng was currently alone in the Immortal Sect.
The Self-Exploding Vein Skill was definitely not a good sign.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
A group of people swiftly crossed the eaves and reached the bottom of the Thousand Layers in no time.
Just as they were about to go up, someone came down.
From afar, they saw Wenping walking in the front, followed by some people.
"Is the battle over?"
Lu Ming’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster, thinking of retreating, but it seemed Wenping had also noticed them.
Sure enough, just as they were preparing to step back, Wenping’s voice came through.
"Since you’re here, don’t be in such a hurry to leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wenping appeared at the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
In a breath’s time, he had crossed hundreds of steps.
"Sect Leader Wen!"
Lu Ming dared not look directly into Wenping’s eyes, hurriedly bowed in salute. Seeing Lu Ming salute, the many others in the Mountain Suppression Realm also quickly followed, bowing respectfully.
Unexpectedly, Wenping suddenly asked a question that shocked them to their core.
"Death or life, choose a path."
Lu Ming hurriedly explained, "Sect Leader Wen, we have no malicious intentions... it’s just that my master has been absent these days, and a message has already arrived above, so I wanted to go up and deliver it to you. Absolutely not out of malice!"
Lu Ming emphasized the last six words heavily.
Emphasizing that he wasn’t harboring any malice.
Wenping seemed as if he hadn’t heard the explanation, continuing to speak, "Hurry and choose, there’s no third path."
"Sect Leader Wen, we really..."
Lu Ming wanted to explain more, but the next second, he was stunned.
Zi Ran, Bainian Xiang, and others came down from the Thousand Layers, just a dozen steps away from him. Behind them, a giant red-eyed ape was holding Situ Xiuneng. At this moment, Situ Xiuneng was covered in blood, and there was no intact skin visible, all were wounds. His chest no longer rose and fell, and under their Perception, no Qi could be felt anymore.
The absence of Qi made the result crystal clear.
Situ Xiuneng was already dead.
Plop!
Lu Ming suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
Despair washed over him like a tide, leaving him without the strength to stand up again.
Only now did he understand why Wenping would ask him if he wanted to die or live.
