All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"You're truly honored to die beneath an Emperor-level weapon; that's enough for you to boast about to the heavens!"

Zhou Hai shook his head!

Without a doubt, the woman's soul was also imprisoned by the Soul-Devouring Demon Palace.

Zhou Hai had no pity whatsoever for these so-called cultivators who viewed all living beings as ants.

Hearing the woman's soul scream, he slowly stood up and glanced at the cultivators around him.

Those cultivators who were overjoyed just a moment ago are now stunned again.

No one expected that the appearance of the Enlightenment Realm Master Ruyan would be so exciting, yet her death would be so inexplicable.

The others didn't even use any supernatural powers, yet they easily took her life.

"It's your turn!"

Zhou Hai's lips curled up slightly, which, in the eyes of these people, looked like the smile of a devil.

"No……"

Countless terrified screams rang out. Thousands of people didn't even have time to escape before they were turned into a bloody mess with a wave of Zhou Hai's hand.

One soul after another was taken into the Demon Palace, making the screams even more shrill, a true wailing of ten thousand ghosts!

"My disciple, do you like this demon palace?"

Zhou Hai turned to look at Qin Xiyao and said with a smile.

"Yes, Master, I like it so much!"

Qin Xiyao nodded quickly, genuinely liking the palace.

It's so powerful, it's practically hell for evil people.

"Give it to you!"

"Remember this: with this treasure, you can cause as much trouble as you want without any consequences. But if you dare to act recklessly and use this treasure to harm the world, don't blame me for expelling you from the sect!"

Zhou Hai's expression turned serious as he handed the Demon Palace over to Qin Xiyao, issuing a stern warning.

"Thank you, Master, for avenging Xi Yao!"

"Master, rest assured, Xi Yao's mind has been restored by you. Xi Yao still has a heart and cannot lose her humanity!"

"When my cultivation is complete, Xiyao will definitely use this treasure to eliminate demons, protect the righteous path, and safeguard all living beings!"

Qin Xiyao's eyes instantly reddened. She never expected that her master would give her such a powerful treasure so readily.

She immediately knelt on the ground and swore an oath to heaven.

"Get up, let's go save your senior uncle!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Hai lifted Qin Xiyao up.

With Zhou Hai's permission, the palace transformed into a streak of black light and flew into Qin Xiyao's brow, establishing a connection with her.

"Master, the Demon Palace extracted the memories of those souls. The Star Gazing Tower is over there; it's used for sacrificial rites!"

"Tens of thousands of boys and girls will be sacrificed today, and my master will also be sacrificed!"

Having received the revelation from the Demon Palace, Qin Xiyao quickly said.

"court death……"

Zhou Hai's eyes sharpened. Without bothering to ask anyone, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Star Gazing Tower that Qin Xiyao had mentioned.

"No...you can't leave! Kill me!"

"God, why did you let them go? Why don't you punish them!"

Are you blind?

On the ruins in front of the Lin family mansion, watching helplessly as all her relatives died tragically and enduring endless torment, Lin Wan'er cried out in anguish!

She wanted to keep Zhou Hai and Qin Xiyao with her, but the master and apprentice had no interest in even glancing at her and had already disappeared into the horizon!

Half an hour later, three thousand miles away from Qinzhou City, a series of spirit boats pierced the sky.

Below is a great river, and the riverbank is already packed with people, countless devout pilgrims!

In addition, many spirit boats landed, bringing with them young boys and girls, as well as brides dressed in wedding gowns!

These spirit boats came from all over Qinzhou, and the tens of thousands of boys and girls brought from various places, as well as tens of thousands of brides, were also brought!

These brides were all extremely beautiful, and when they came together, it was like a thousand flowers blooming, a truly beautiful sight.

Unfortunately, these women were all offered to the Venerable One, and the devout pilgrims didn't even dare to glance at them!

Their eyes remained fixed on the towering building, hundreds of feet high, that reached into the clouds, upstream of the great river!

This building is called the Star Gazing Pavilion, and it has a huge platform on it, which is used as a sacrificial altar.

A teleportation array had already been set up on the altar, just waiting for it to be activated so that all the boys and girls, as well as the bride, could be sent away!

"Sect Leader Murong, look how happy these brides are!"

"They all volunteered; I didn't force them!"

From the Star Gazing Tower, Wu Wanli's voice came, sounding quite content.

Not far away, Murong Xiao stood with a gloomy face, not uttering a word!

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man, Du Hai.

The two were in similar situations; their cultivation had been shattered, their bodies had suffered severe injuries, and they were so weak that they could barely move a finger while leaning back in their chairs!

However, a dozen or so beautiful brides surrounded the couple, massaging their shoulders and legs.

The scene was so convincing that it was impossible to connect their situation with that of prisoners!

"What's wrong, Sect Leader Murong? Why are you risking your life when you could be enjoying the good life with two women at once?"

"Come, cooperate with my Holy Valley. Trust me, the Holy Lord will definitely give you an important position!"

Wu Wanli was also surrounded by beautiful women, but the difference was that the brides were all half-covered and whispering intimately to him, which was simply unbearable to look at.

Even at this point, Wu Wanli still hadn't given up on Murong Xiao.

He would try to persuade Murong Xiao whenever he had the chance.

After all, Jixia Academy is no ordinary force. Not to mention the Holy Land headquarters behind it, the retired old guys of the Great Zhou Academy alone are very difficult to deal with.

This is a force not to be underestimated.

"Hmph, kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

"My senior brother is the head of the academy; how could he possibly side with you evil demons?"

Murong Xiao remained silent, but Du Hai forced himself to take a breath and said coldly.

"Sigh... Why are you guys so stubborn?"

"Forget it, I think you guys are hopeless!"

"But don't worry, even if you die, you must sacrifice for the Holy Lord!"

Wu Wanli looked disappointed. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the nine beauties at the Enlightenment Realm behind him walked straight to each end of the array on the Star Gazing Platform!

"What's going on? Why hasn't Ruyan returned yet?"

Seeing that one person was still missing from one corner of the formation, Wu Wanli frowned.

Before the nine beauties could speak, a voice suddenly rang out.

"She probably won't be able to come!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a long rainbow appeared on the observatory, and Zhou Hai's figure materialized there.

"Who are you?"

Wu Wanli and the nine beauties' gazes instantly fixed on Zhou Hai!

"The one who wants to kill you!"

Zhou Hai grinned, which immediately aroused the murderous intent of Wu Wanli and others.

What an arrogant brat! He looks young, yet he dares to be so cocky. He's courting death.

Before they could speak, Zhou Hai looked at Murong Xiao and Du Hai sitting on the other side, his expression strange.

"Oh my... what kind of look are you two doing?"

"I was worried about you guys, and you've all come here to enjoy yourselves. What a waste of my feelings!"

Du Hai was completely taken aback when he saw Zhou Hai arrive.

Isn't this guy a complete slacker? How did he manage to fly up here with absolutely no cultivation?

However, before he could finish expressing his surprise, his face darkened.

Look, is this human language?

Who would want to enjoy such a blessing!

"Especially your senior brother Du Hai, I can understand why you said that senior brother Murong likes to visit brothels and is surrounded by a bunch of women!"

"You are the Imperial Censor of the Zhou Dynasty, the teacher of the world! You have countless students, do those students know that you are so frivolous?"

After a pause, Zhou Hai looked at Du Hai speechlessly, as if he had caught a cadre looking for a prostitute.

Du Hai's eyes bulged, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This is absolutely terrible; his lifelong reputation is completely ruined.
