Chapter 172: Let Him Go!

Tyler didn't know anything about how cruel the punishment was or what Kong Bao did behind his back. He had initially planned to stay in this sect for a few years before leaving with his senior.

But the current situation occurred so suddenly that he didn't even have time to say a proper goodbye to his lover. He sighed while walking when he thought of this. Maybe he could ask someone just to give him the last chance. But would anyone listen to him?

The sect master of Kunlun Sect had decided to turn a blind eye and make him the criminal. And others blindly believed the evidence Kong Bao presented. No one even cared to see whether Chang Hong was really someone who could perform such a crime. They all even suspected that he was the demonic cultivator.

This thought made Tyler purse his lips. Nevermind. He would die in peace. But when he thought that this was a cultivation world, he wondered if his punishment would worsen. To protect himself from pain, he secretly opened his system and purchased a pain-reducing feature, turning it on simultaneously.

At least he wouldn't be feeling immense pain while going through the punishment. Thinking like this, he resigned to his fate and stepped inside the arena of punishment.

He could have proved his innocence since he didn't have a trace of demonic energy in his veins, but he knew this step could also bring more difficulties if they stayed back more. First, Kong Bao wouldn't stop until the entire cultivation world dies. He didn't want this world to be destroyed just like that.

And secondly, he knew that even though the system had told them that they didn't have to follow the arcs, he still wanted to finish as many parts as possible.

One crucial thing was that Chang Hong was supposed to die early, and Kong Bao would be the person inflicting serious damage to the villain's body in the original world.

A similar thing has also happened in reality too. Kong Bao was the person who was going to inflict damage to his body. So if not all, Tyler at least wanted to die and finish one thing correctly.

At this time, he had gotten the opportunity to die quickly, and this was the path he hadn't even considered since he wanted to live longer with his lover. Now that the chance had come, he didn't want to miss it.

He didn't know that this innocent choice would become a source of more significant problems in the future.

Right now, all he thought was that if he were to follow the arcs properly, he would be able to finish at least 50% of his mission. In this way, he planned for the future without any delay. This action was the best course since the male lead was already frozen under the formation.

And just like that, Tyler was tied to the executive board while the cultivators assembled around the arena in the sitting place. Some showed a disgusted expression on their faces while others disdained this Chang Hong, calling the latter demon in their hearts.

After that, murmur spread across the arena. People even yelled and said, "Boil him in the water!"

"Cook him in oil!"

"Make others beat him in public!"

"Shut it!" Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the background, making every resident silent as a mute. They glanced at each other and turned toward the source of this angry sound.

It was another familiar figure Tyler didn't think he would see here at this place out of all. The man who entered was Fang Guozhi. Every time public execution was held, someone would be chosen among seniors to give the punishment to the criminal. They all thought that since Tyler belonged to Kong Bao's sect, the latter would soften his heart while punishing this person. So they chose another person for this task.

But just as Fang Guozhi arrived at the arena, he frowned at first and instantly saw through what the sect master had done. Why did the Kunlun Sect master install such a formation here?! This person was clearly trying to lessen the pain of a demonic cultivator! Fang Guozhi angrily turned towards the cold-looking Kunlun Sect master. "You do know this is a crime, don't you?"

Without asking twice, Fang Guozhi removed the formation and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Kong Bao glanced sympathetically at Tyler and shook his head. Even though he wasn't able to save this innocent person, he at least tried. He wouldn't have to feel guilty of killing his junior's eldest disciple.

Just when they had tied Tyler to the board and were going to start, they suddenly felt a turbulent flow of wind from the direction of Kong Bao's Pavilion. Everyone was stupefied seeing that.

Kong Bao's face paled seeing that. He knew what could have happened there. Apparently, Feng Chao must have gone through a Qi Deviation because of his unstable emotions, and now, the latter's powers were creating havoc so much so that they could even feel it in the punishment arena!

Why?!

Why now when everything was going according to his plans?!

Kong Bao gritted his teeth and glanced at Fang Guozhi, who was also looking at the pavilion.

At this time, Tyler, who was bound to the board, hadn't thought that his senior would end up with Qi Deviation because of him. He just wanted to make sure to do one thing right, at least before leaving. But now that the male lead had gone crazy, he feared that his senior might even end up killing everyone here and destroying the cultivation world!

He suddenly got anxious and struggled, staring in the direction of the pavilion. Then in a low voice, he said, "Can you bring me to him? One last time?"

"Absolutely not!" Fang Guozhi was really angry at this time and thought that even at this time, this demonic cultivator was trying to escape! Chang Hong was a dual cultivation partner of Feng Chao! Hadn't the former felt even a single trace of affection for the man who went in Qi Deviation because of him? Fang Guozhi couldn't believe that such people existed even in today's world! "We won't let you escape!"

Only Kong Bao knew why Tyler wanted to leave, and he felt guilty all over again. Glancing at his secret lover one more time, he sighed and said, "Let him go."
