Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at Hu Changzai, showing no emotion or anger.

“When you introduced Blood Bat to my command, you could say that you swore to guarantee this person’s loyalty.

"Now that she has done such a stupid thing, you really deserve to be punished.

Hearing Zhou Yiqiao's deep voice, which seemed to be truly angry, Hu Changzai suddenly trembled with fear.

You are an unkind person, but for the sake of your hard work and achievements over the years, I will give you a chance. "

"Behead the blood bat and bring it to me. I can let you and your children go."

When Hu Changzai heard Zhou Yiqiao's words, his heart felt as if he had been hit by a boulder, with shock, fear, and despair intertwined together.

His trembling hands held the corners of his clothes tightly, his eyes filled with tears of despair.

"Lord, although Blood Bat has done something wrong, because she has worked so hard for so many years without any merit, please spare her life!"

Zhou Yiqiao looked at him coldly, with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Hu Changzai, you seem to have forgotten who has the final say here."

"When Blood Bat betrayed the news about me to Xia Houwen, today's fate was already destined."

"It's a great gift that I can keep her alive till now."

Hu Changzai trembled. He knew that Zhou Yiqiao had already made a decision, and it would be useless to plead for mercy.

He stood up tremblingly and bowed deeply, his voice filled with endless sorrow and determination.

"Yes, Lord, I understand."

Hu Changzai turned around and left, every step seemed to carry a heavy burden.

He knew that he would personally cut off the bond between himself and the blood bat. In order to save himself and his children's lives, he had to make this cruel decision.

......

Night falls and the moon is dim.

Hu Changzai stood in the courtyard, holding a sharp sword in his hand.

His eyes fell on the blood bat kneeling on the ground not far away, and endless sadness surged in his heart.

The blood bat looked up at him, his eyes flashing with no specific emotion.

"Chang Zai, do you really want to do this?"

She suddenly spoke, with a tremor in her tone that even she had not noticed.

Hu Changzai was silent for a moment, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and answered the question unintentionally.

"I thought that because you were willing to be loyal to the Lord with me, you had completely abandoned the past and forgotten about the King."

"But I didn't expect that you still have a place for him in your heart."

When the blood bat heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

She lowered her head and remained silent.

After a long time, she slowly closed her eyes and sighed.

"Chang Zai, don't blame me."

"I don't blame you, it's just that I'm not willing to do it."

Hu Changzai shook his head, his eyes gradually became firmer, he raised the magic sword in his hand and pierced the blood bat's chest without hesitation.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out and splashed on Hu Chang's face.

But Hu Changzai seemed unaware, with only pain on his face.

"I'm just not willing to accept it. Even though I've paid more, I still can't compare to the position your king occupies in your heart..."

"Chang Zai, I'm sorry."

Blood Bat struggled to spit out the last words, and then he slipped to the ground softly.

Hu Changzai knelt down and held up the blood bat corpse, with two drops of crystal clear liquid flowing from his eyes.

"You did a good job and you won't regret your choice in the future."

Zhou Yiqiao's figure slowly walked out of the darkness, looked at Hu Changzai and the blood bat, and said lightly.

Hu Changzai raised his head and looked into Zhou Yiqiao's cold and deep eyes, feeling a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.

He knew that although he lost the blood bat, he also saved his life and that of his child.

He stood up, placed the blood bat's body respectfully on the ground, and then bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Lord, for not killing me."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, his eyes lingered on the blood bat's body for a moment, then turned and left.

If it were in the past, he would definitely put the blood bat's living soul into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, so that it would never be able to enter reincarnation again.

But this time, he didn't do that.

Perhaps it was because he was disappointed by Blood Bat's betrayal, or perhaps because Hu Changzai's loyalty touched him.

In short, the body of the blood bat was left in the courtyard without anyone caring about it.

Hu Changzai stood aside silently, looking at the body of the blood bat, with endless sadness and helplessness in his heart.

He knew that all of this was Blood Bat's own choice and he couldn't blame others.

But he still couldn't help but think that if the blood bats had not chosen to betray, if they could have remained loyal to Zhou Yiqiao, maybe everything would be different.

However, there are no ifs in this world, only results.

Blood Bat's betrayal has become a fact, and he must pay the price for his choice.

Hu Changzai took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness and helplessness in his heart, then picked up the blood bat's body, turned and left the courtyard.

The blood bat is dead, and he has more important things to do.

Their children have already transformed into adults and have embarked on the road to immortality.

After Blood Bat died, he would have to shoulder the future of his two children alone.

He must work harder to ensure that the children can go further and more steadily on the path of cultivating immortals.

......

After everything was settled, Zhou Yiqiao stayed on the Ten Thousand Bones Mountain for several years. After helping Tianlei and Liu Yun successfully advance to the realm of Nascent Soul, he was ready to leave the Ten Thousand Bone Mountains again.

"Tianxing, Seven Swords, and Bloodbeard are all in seclusion, and Hu Changzai is self-imposed. The affairs of Wangu Mountain will be left to you two."

Looking at Tianlei and Liu Yun who came to see off Wei Er, Zhou Yiqiao said lightly.

"Don't worry, Lord, we will live up to your trust."

Tianlei and Liu Yun both bowed and said respectfully.

"very good."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, his eyes swept over the two of them, then slowly turned around and walked towards the distance.

His figure gradually disappeared from sight, leaving only a faint word echoing in the air.

"wait me back."

......

Three days later, outside the gate of Netherworld Demon Sect.

A carriage riding a raging fire pierced the sky and landed outside the mountain gate of Netherworld Demon Sect like a meteor.

The blazing flames burned the air and made a crackling sound that made people afraid to approach.

The Demon Sect disciples guarding the mountain gate felt the fiery aura from a distance, and their expressions changed greatly. They held weapons in their hands and stared at the carriage warily.

"Who is here? How dare you break into the Netherworld Demon Sect!"

A Demon Sect disciple shouted loudly, with a hint of hostility in his voice.

Zhou Yiqiao did not answer. He smiled and jumped down from the Red Flame Flowing Gold. He took one step forward and was in front of the Demon Sect disciples in an instant.

"The two junior brothers must have joined the Netherworld Demon Sect in recent years. They don't even recognize me, Zhou Yiqiao."
