Chapter 171: The Frozen Male Lead!

The male lead was powerful, but it seemed like everyone was prepared for him to show his fierce side. So Kong Bao bit the fingers on his hand and put down his hand. Instantly, a circular drawing appeared around the male lead's feet, making him frozen on the spot.

"We knew you would do this. So we were already prepared to stop you like this. Until Chang Hong is dead, we won't release you." Kong Bao lowered his eyes to hide his guilty face and took a deep breath, glancing at his junior martial brother in sympathy.

If it weren't for the demonic soul inside his body, he wouldn't have to take this step. He really didn't want to break Feng Chao's dual cultivation life!

Initially, the sect master didn't want to do this. He knew that no matter how much the demonic soul boasted, that entity wouldn't be able to do any major damage. It wasn't until the demon revealed a hidden demonic cultivator in their sect that he started to waver. But this information alone still wasn't enough to make him take this step.

After all, he was a leader of a righteous sect. How could he listen to such a lowly demonic cultivator's soul?!

Seeing that this person wasn't listening, the demonic soul secretly transmitted a message to Shen Qiu, who later contacted his spies hidden across the righteous sects. Then, he asked that spy to send him a 'token' to prove that Fang Guozhi was really in danger.

By the time it was late at night, Kong Bao had received a box from an unknown person. But when he opened it, he was shocked to see Wudang Sect's leader's hairpin smeared with blood. Of course, that blood wasn't a human's, but this sect master was too stunned to realize this.

For a moment, he froze and stared at the hairpin before him for a long time. His heart sank in the realization that someone had happened to that person.

So he instantly sent an urgent message through talisman to Fang Guozhi, who instantly replied saying he was fine, and then went on rambling about a lot of things. In short, for another hour, the Kunlun Sect leader sat back and listened to every word sent by his secret lover carefully as if he heard some lecture.

After that, he took a heavy breath and decided to save his lover. This was the most important thing rather than sitting back and thinking about righteousness. If Fang Guozhi wouldn't be alive, then what was the use of living anymore? These days, he would rely on that person's long ranting messages. And if that person were to die, the only trace of affection that connected him to this world would be destroyed.

And after all, even righteous cultivators have demons who would use politics to make things difficult. So it was better to destroy the world altogether.

Under the influence of the demonic soul, Kong Bao determined in his heart to follow the soul's every word! And the first task assigned to him was to hide Cheng Xiu!

After that, the rest was history, and that was how the male lead found himself frozen in the formation created by the sect master. He stared at Kong Bao in disbelief before anxiously trying to think of a solution when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Senior, Don't worry. We will see each other in another world." Tyler said softly in a low voice that only his lover could hear.

Tears appeared in the male lead's eyes, but he couldn't cry. He couldn't even move his hands and mouth to call the system! He cursed the system for its uselessness.

And just like that, Tyler removed all of his weapons and talismans, placing them on the ground. He glanced at Kong Bao and said, "I know why you're doing this, but you wouldn't back out even if I say you shouldn't do this. And when you realize you were in the wrong, it'll be too late."

Tyler said this to wake up the last trace of guilt in the sect master's heart, but that person's face remained cold, making the former sigh. In reality, he didn't want to die. But since he didn't have any choice, he would just resign to his fate. After all, this world was useless, and the more they stayed, the greater the danger they would encounter. Even Qi Deviation also happened in this world that nearly risked his life.

So he could only swallow bitterness in his heart and lower his head. He knew that if he died, his senior would come and take revenge, and the first person the latter would kill would be Kong Bao.

Shaking his head, he glanced at his senior for the last time in this world before the sect disciples dragged him away.

Everyone was surprised by seeing such a calm expression on his face. Even Tyler didn't understand why he was so calm. Perhaps it was because he would soon get his memories back. That was why he felt a trace of excitement in his heart. Or maybe his system would help him contact his senior in the resting world.

When he thought about it, the last bit of sadness left his heart as he became excited all over again.

After that, he was taken over to the punishment chamber located on the East side of the Kunlun Sect. This area was particular because here, criminal cultivators were punished cruelly. First, they were publicly stripped of their titles and tied to the execution board such that both the hands and legs would be tied apart while the person would still be standing.

Then, the executioner would thrust his hand inside the criminal's chest without giving the latter any pain-relieving medicine. After that, the former would find the golden core of the criminal and take it out, leaving behind a big hole in the person's chest. If the criminal still didn't die, the punishment would be even worse. The cultivator would be given three hundred hits from a special whip that would inflict the injury such that the body wouldn't be cured for the entire life.

And if the cultivator would still be alive after all of this, the executioner would leave the criminal on the streets to live for the rest of his life.

Of course, such a cruel punishment wouldn't be applied to Chang Hong since the sect master knew that this disciple was innocent. So he used extraordinary means to relieve the guilt he felt in his heart.

Kong Bao had secretly appeared at this place and sealed the entire execution board with a unique formation that would kill Tyler instantly as soon as he was injured. So that would mean Chang Hong wouldn't have to face so many difficulties.

The sect master thought that this was the best plan he could come up with for his junior martial brother.
