Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

As an exile, he walks alone in the world, missing out on rare treasures and opportunities.

In Ye Xiaozhou's eyes, the world was stingy, how could it let her miss out on adventures time and time again? In Ye Xiaozhou's eyes, the world was generous, everything she saw could be an opportunity.

Heaven does not pity me, so I do not respect Heaven.

She has reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, all of which she obtained through her own abilities.

Can't enter the secret realm?

It's ok.

For cultivators emerging from the secret realm, their storage bags hold the key to their future opportunities.

That's why she found Zhu Wuyao pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Wuyao was also hated by fate. Whatever he did would be immediately noticed, and the bad consequences would soon come back to haunt him.

Unfortunately, Zhu Wuyao, despite being a cultivator, had too many shackles to uphold; otherwise, his strength could have advanced even further.

How could we be bound by such a small token?

Outside, they are making every effort to break the formation, while those inside are struggling to hold on. This place is locked by the Heavenly Dao, and the spiritual energy is almost non-existent, rendering the Heavenly Observation Technique useless.

As Wei Zhang bowed three times, an invisible vortex seemed to gradually condense and take shape, like a giant gear, ready to crush people here and grind their bones to dust.

Zhu Wuyao was barely holding on with the last bit of spiritual energy left in his dantian, and it seemed as if he could hear the howling of a fierce hurricane.

It was accompanied by faint thunder, drowning out all other sounds.

Zhu Wuyao found himself in an endless ocean, clinging to a single drifting plank, seemingly about to be swallowed up by a single wave.

She tried to move her fingers and grip the bladeless sword tighter. Her strength became unbalanced and her joints turned white, but she saw—the bladeless sword moved.

This is... a broken sword that escaped its fate.

Zhu Wuyao's unusually calm eyes lit up for a moment. She couldn't just wait to die like this. Under the Jingtian Extermination Order, the only variable was the Wufeng Sword.

A deafening thunderclap resounded, and a bolt of lightning, almost purple in color, descended, carrying the supreme majesty of the heavens, seemingly intent on condemning the one being judged to offer their neck for execution.

"The guilty..."

Someone murmured those four words.

Countless bolts of lightning flashed violently, and the expressions of the spectators gradually changed from understanding to doubt.

Few cultivators are immune to loss of life, yet such a massive display and such violent heavenly lightning could have claimed more than a dozen lives.

The elders from Qingyun Sect who had helped break the formation stopped what they were doing.

Wu Wei of the Juque Sect sneered, "This person deserves to be punished by Heaven. Do you, the Zhaixing Tower, still intend to save her?"

Before Elder Chi could say anything, Ji Daoting said resolutely, "I don't care whether she's guilty or not. If she dies, my granddaughter will have no hope of survival!"

As a talisman was cast into the great formation, Ji Daoting was about to break it when Zhao Huaiyi of the Juque Sect suddenly made his move. At the same time, the sky seemed to darken for a moment. This was the Xiaotian Sect's "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" technique!

In the open and in the shadows, Zhao Huaiyi, in order to punish evildoers, suddenly took action and became a righteous person who blocked the formation from being broken.

As the Trapped Calamity Sutra was activated, a wave of spiritual energy carrying the intent of destruction and collapse rippled outwards. Just as it was about to hit Ji Daoting, a red figure suddenly appeared and blocked it.

At the same time, the halberd, accompanied by the sound of it tearing through the air, attacked the Xiaotian Sect.

Elder Chi assisted in breaking the formation, but he secretly thought to himself that things were not good. These were only two sects. If everyone present attacked together, how could they possibly withstand it?

As expected, Zhao Huaiyi shouted loudly as he and Ye Xiaozhou clashed:

"Fellow Daoists, why don't you act quickly and punish evil in accordance with the will of Heaven!"

The various sects that had been observing from the sidelines were wavering, and some even brought out their magical artifacts, seemingly ready to make a move.

However, at that moment, amidst the countless bolts of lightning, a black sword suddenly appeared, unimpeded by destiny's lock, soaring straight into the sky.

The spiritual power fused into the bladeless sword was originally one with Zhu Wuyao; it moved with his thoughts and the sword was drawn at the same time.

In the instant that countless bolts of lightning struck, Zhu Wuyao summoned the beast bone given to him by Senior Sister Gu to protect his body, and then transferred all his divine sense into the sword.

as predicted.

Zhu Wuyao is under the watchful eye of destiny, while the Wufeng Sword is completely unrestricted.

As a prison of souls, she was trapped in place, unable to move. However, besides this, Zhu Wuyao also possessed a sword—

It can be used to fight, to strike at the lofty divine punishment.

Countless bolts of lightning struck, but the Unsharp Sword passed right through them. It did not try to dodge, nor did it need to.

This sword has no edge and is made of ordinary materials. It cannot be compared to divine weapons and is only good for killing people.

However, fate had decreed that this sword should be destroyed.

Therefore, at this moment, it is blind in both heart and eyes.

The sword strike, imbued with anger and resentment, was unseen.

Countless bolts of lightning struck down on Zhu Wuyao, killing her soul and spirit; a broken sword shot straight into the sky, demanding that the dark clouds covering her head disperse and bring back a clear, bright sky.

The sound of the flute suddenly broke the silence, lingering in my ears yet never being noticed, stirring my soul.

It is like a surging river or sea, moving forward without hesitation; like a light-riding horse, drinking in the spring breeze.

Zhu Wuyao seemed to be able to breathe again.

She stretched out her body, and just before the heavenly lightning struck, countless spiritual energies surged through the cracks opened by the bladeless sword and flowed into her dantian meridians.

The sound of the flute grew increasingly joyful, as if a knight-errant had reached a dead end and was riding across the valley, eager to chase the wind and the moon.

And rivers—

When a river reaches a dead end, it collapses and becomes a waterfall.

The thin line between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage was completely crossed at this critical moment.

Zhu Wuyao took a deep breath, and under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, she slowly straightened her spine.

The wind is blowing.

It attacked along the gap created by the bladeless sword.

The Concealing Breath and Wind-Riding Technique was activated instantly, closely following the direction the sword was slashing.

Zhu Wuyao grasped the bladeless sword.

Under the cover of dark clouds, amidst the raging lightning, she slashed at the token that sought to judge her from a high place.

The Heaven-Revering Evil-Slaying Decree trembled violently, its spiritual light dimming slightly, as if it were about to re-lock onto Zhu Wuyao.

But at that moment, the formation was broken.

The talisman, wooden token, scimitar, and halberd seized the opportunity and slashed at the token together, creating a tremendous roar.

No, not enough.

Zhu Wuyao swiftly formed hand seals, using the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Heavenly Gaze Technique. The hand seals she had studied countless times took shape in an instant—

"Stealing the sky and changing the sun!"

As soon as the seal was formed, she sent it out and imprinted it on Zhao Huaiyi.

Zhu Wuyao raised the severed token and saw it once again surrounded by black and white light. However, this time, the target was Zhao Huaiyi.

She said:

"Those who have taken the lives of innocent people should be killed!"

The order to revere Heaven and punish evil has barely been issued, but this time—I am the butcher and you are the fish on the chopping block!

Zhao Huaiyi felt the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, and his eyes widened in disbelief, filled with panic and fear.

Overwhelmed with shock and anger, he pointed at Zhu Wuyao and said:

"It wasn't me! It was her! She's the one who deserves divine punishment!"

Hearing Zhao Huaiyi's trembling voice, Zhu Wuyao remained indifferent and showed no pity. She had fought against all the disciples of the Juque Sect and thought that she could only kill Qu De at this Immortal Cultivation Conference.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events occurred.

Isn't this a divine mandate to eliminate evil?

Then let your Heavenly Will open its eyes and see whether you, Zhao Huaiyi, deserve to be killed!
