Chapter 232: The One to Die is You

The elder who went to the Repentance Tower to release people was called Elder Gao, a peak-stage Sea Core Realm expert. On the surface, he did not seem to have a deep relationship with Shan Yuanze. In fact, he had received the guidance of Shan Yuanze before he could enter the Sea Core Realm.

At first, Shan Yuanze only gave him guidance casually, and over time, he forgot about it. However, Elder Gao remembered it clearly. Although he did not say it, and he was not as enthusiastic about Shan Yuanze as the other elders, he still secretly regarded himself as Shan Yuanze's confidant.

Shan Yuanze was killed. Those die-hard supporters of Shan Yuanze expressed their dissatisfaction, but Elder Gao was not so impulsive, because he knew that even if he expressed dissatisfaction at this time, he would not be Mo Xiu's opponents.

When Mo Xiu asked about the whereabouts of Ji Linyuan and others, he knew that his opportunity had come, so he took the initiative to talk about what happened in the Seraphic Sword Sect during the time that Mo Xiu was away.

Then, as he expected, Mo Xiu asked him to go there.

As long as he could go to the Repentance Tower and hold all the hostages in his hands, he would not believe that Mo Xiu would not compromise obediently. Not only would he be able to avenge Shan Yuanze at that time, but he might also gain a huge reputation and become the new Sect Master.

Of course, to become the new Sect Master, revenge was actually the way to go.

Although Mo Xiu knew that there was such a figure as Elder Gao, he did not know the origin of Elder Gao and Shan Yuanze. After all, when he was in the Seraphic Sword Sect, he did not see how close Elder Gao and Shan Yuanze were.

He also didn't know how to read minds, and it was impossible to read Elder Gao's inner thoughts.

After waiting for a while on Eastern Hedge Peak, he saw Elder Gao bring Ji Linyuan and others back. However, Ji Linyuan and others had passed out, and the restrictions on their bodies had not been lifted. Ji Linyuan and Song Shenxue were even held in Elder Gao's hands carelessly.

Seeing this scene, everyone realized that something was wrong.

"I asked you to bring them back to see me. That's how you brought them?" Mo Xiu's expression remained unchanged, he said calmly.

Elder Gao's two hands were on the backs of the necks of Ji Linyuan and Song Shenxue, as if he was catching two kittens.

Others, such as Luo Li, Ge Liuyun, and Bu Jianting, were held by the deacons under Elder Gao with the True Energy swords and could be killed at any time.

Up to now, Elder Gao didn't bother to talk politely to Mo Xiu anymore. He looked at Mo Xiu and said with a ​​smile, "Mo Xiu, do you think killing a few people will make me surrender? Naive! How can I easily succumb to you, a demon?"

Mo Xiu looked at Elder Gao, then at the deacons under Elder Gao, and said playfully, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

It was true that Elder Gao was afraid of death, but in his opinion, since Mo Xiu asked about the whereabouts of Ji Linyuan and others, he obviously cared about the safety of Ji Linyuan and others. As long as the lives and deaths of Ji Linyuan and others were in his hands, Mo Xiu dared not take action against him.

He snorted coldly, "Mo Xiu, I know that you have many means, and you can kill people invisibly, but now, the lives and deaths of Ji Linyuan and others are within my mind. If you dare to move even a strand of my hair, I can promise that none of these people will survive!"

Mo Xiu: "Do you think it useful to threaten me with the lives and deaths of these people?"

"Useful!" Elder Gao was very sure.

If it was useless, he wouldn't be able to escape his fate, and his desire to become the Sect Master after killing Mo Xiu would also vanish, so it must be useful!

Of course, he had some means at all, at least he had the confidence that he would not die under Mo Xiu's blow, and this was enough for him.

Mo Xiu actually didn't care about the life and death of Ji Linyuan and others. Neither Ji Linyuan nor Song Shenxue was his people. Whether they were alive or dead had nothing to do with him.

However, Song Shenxue was also born with a Divine Physique, and it would inevitably be a pity if she just died in Elder Gao's hands. To put it bluntly, Mo Xiu wanted to cultivate Song Shenxue so that she could become his helper by the time he returned to the Realm of Heaven.

Thinking of this, he said, "What do you want?"

Upon seeing this, Elder Gao said with a slight excitement, "It's very simple, I know you are not that easy to be killed, and I don't intend to kill you either. But as long as you abolish your cultivation, leave the Seraphic Sword Sect and promise to never return, I can give them a way to survive and even restore their identities."

He didn't plan to kill Mo Xiu because it was impossible, but if he wanted Mo Xiu to commit suicide in exchange for the lives of Ji Linyuan and others, he felt that Mo Xiu would not be so stupid, and he might even discard these people's lives in his hands if he forced Mo Xiu like this. By then, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?

As long as he could let Mo Xiu abolish his cultivation, Mo Xiu would not pose a threat to them, and it would be easy for him to kill Mo Xiu afterward.

Naturally, Mo Xiu would not abolish his cultivation. Asking him to abolish his own cultivation for a few insignificant people was simply a dream.

He said leisurely, "Don't say that I will not abolish my cultivation base, even if I abolish my cultivation base, I'm afraid you don't plan to let me leave the Seraphic Sword Sect alive, right?"

"How can that be?" Elder Gao laughed. "Then I can assure you, I can also give you a Teleporting Talisman. Even if you abolish your cultivation, as long as your Divine Consciousness is still there, you can inspire Teleporting Talisman to leave this place."

"This metaphor is really beautiful, but I'm still saying that, I won't abolish my cultivation base, even taking these people as hostages can't threaten me, and you are not qualified to threaten me," Mo Xiu shook his head gently.

Elder Gao frowned, and his tone became colder, "What? You really intend to let these people die in front of you?"

"The one to die is you!"

As Mo Xiu said, a series of invisible knife lights swept away like a storm.

Soul Devouring Knife!

With the improvement of Mo Xiu's cultivation base, the strength of the people he encountered became stronger and stronger, and the Soul Devouring Knife was no longer able to break through the opponent's Spiritual Platform with one blow, and completely shatter the opponent's soul.

However, the Soul Devouring Knife was a means of Divine Consciousness attack after all, even if it could not break through the opponent's Spiritual Platform with a single blow and smash the opponent's soul, it could at least affect the opponent's Divine Mind in an instant.

One moment was enough for Mo Xiu.

A tingling pain from the Spiritual Platform made Elder Gao and the deacons under Elder Gao stunned for a moment. Before they could react, sword energy suddenly struck from the side.

"Puff, puff…"

Blood was gushing crazily, and Elder Gao and everyone's arms were cut off and flew out on the spot. The hostages they had held in their hands also fell to the ground one after another.

"Ahh! Die!"

Elder Gao never thought that Mo Xiu would really dare to attack, but now, he could only pull Ji Linyuan and the others back.

His arms were cut off, but his feet were still there, so he immediately condensed his True Energy on his feet, lifted one foot, and chopped it down at Song Shenxue on the ground.

The deacons under Elder Gao also realized the seriousness of the problem and ignored the pain, so they raised their feet one after another, preparing to trample all those on the ground to death.

Mo Xiu had already used his phantom supernatural power to come to the side of the crowd, and because of this, the sword energy before could cut off everyone's arms.

When the hostages were let go, he would naturally not let Elder Gao and others trample people to death with their feet.

He raised his hand and waved, the hostages who had fallen on the ground slid out, leaving Elder Gao and the deacons under Elder Gao stomping on the air.

Before Elder Gao and the others could make the next move, Mo Xiu's figure flashed, and he directly killed Elder Gao and the others.

The person closest to Mo Xiu was Elder Gao. The terrifying pressure suppressed Elder Gao immobile before a ray of sword energy with Destructive Sword Intent fell on Elder Gao mercilessly.

"Puff…"

Blood splattered to the ground.

The unequal Elder Gao's figure turned into nothingness, and Mo Xiu had already killed the next person.

"Arghh..."

Those deacons under Elder Gao were only in the Abstruse Form Condensation Realm, so there was no possibility of resistance under Mo Xiu's sword. They all screamed and fell to the ground.

When Mo Xiu solved all the deacons, he turned around and found that Elder Gao had survived under his sword energy. There was a deep scratch on his chest, the Destruction Sword Intent was suppressed near that scratch.

"Mo Xiu, since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for killing them all!"

Elder Gao roared and stepped on a comatose elder, and with a "bang", that person was immediately exploded by one stomp of his foot.

"Boom, boom..."

Several people were trampled to death one after another.

But soon, several sword energies slashed over and slashed on his back.

This time, Elder Gao could no longer suppress it, and the Destruction Sword Intent quickly spread.

"Haha, hahaha... Mo Xiu, you are nothing more than that. The people you think you can save were still killed by me in the end!" Elder Gao's body disappeared inch by inch, but his mouth did not forget to taunt Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu came to Elder Gao, looked at Elder Gao, and shook his head slightly, "Did I say I wanted to save people? Even if you kill everyone, I won't care."

At best, Song Shenxue's death would make him feel a little pity, but that was it. Song Shenxue was not his disciple, hence, her death would not affect him in any way.

As for people other than Song Shenxue, Mo Xiu didn't take it seriously, otherwise, he could completely kill Elder Gao before Elder Gao killed those people.

It was also good for Mo Xiu to let Elder Gao trample several people to death so that others would not use such inferior threats against him again, and it might save him a lot of trouble.

Elder Gao didn't know Mo Xiu's mind, seeing that Mo Xiu really didn't care about it, he only felt a little puzzled.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the Destruction Sword Intent completely spread, and he immediately turned into nothingness.

The elders and deacons who were originally on Eastern Hedge Peak watched the entire incident, but they did not say a word from beginning to end.

But they understood that Mo Xiu really didn't take the life and death of Ji Linyuan and others into his heart. Using the life and death of Ji Linyuan and others to threaten Mo Xiu would only seek one's own death!

Thinking of this, some people who were still dissatisfied with Mo Xiu fell into despair.

Mo Xiu had a full view of everyone's reaction, but he didn't say a word, he just went to awaken the unconscious Ji Linyuan and others one by one.
