Chapter 109 What crime have I committed?
Zhao Gongming, the former senior disciple of the outer sect of Shangqing, the elder brother respected by the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and the favorite of Tongtian, was killed without a name, status, or presence, silently and without a trace by a sword light that could be seen everywhere and was not even worth looking at.
Seeing the corpse on the ground constantly oozing red and white substances, the many immortals present fell silent. Even the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Holy Mother of Jinling, who had a good impression of Guang Chengzi, looked at this scene in disbelief.
Zhao Gongming—did he just die like that?
"what!"
In the midst of utter silence, an extremely shrill scream erupted. The immortals, startled awake by the shrill sound, shuddered and realized who was screaming. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw, sure enough, it was Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, the two surviving sisters.
Yunxiao was truly enraged at this moment. The fact that her younger sister was sealed away as a ground painting to be trampled on by countless people was already enough to make her angry. Now that her own brother had died in front of her, how could she possibly tolerate it!
"You! You! You actually dared to kill my brother! Even if the Primordial Celestial Lord himself descended, I would still spare you! I will skin you alive, tear out your tendons, and place your soul in a lamp, where it will be roasted for ten million years without ever going out! I will make you taste eternal pain, and I will make you experience the sorrow I have suffered and the agony I have felt!"
Qiongxiao's once beautiful face twisted in an instant, her gentle and refined demeanor vanished, leaving only a crazed and vicious look.
No one expected that Qiongxiao, who was well-read and elegant, walked with the grace of a willow in the breeze, and whose laughter was like a hundred flowers blooming on her lips, could actually unleash such terrifying resentment.
That deep resentment seemed to condense into terrifying, vengeful spirits in the void, emanating a chilling aura. In that instant, Qiongxiao actually began to forcefully break through.
The hatred in her heart compelled Qiongxiao to reach the pinnacle of self-improvement. At this moment, she desperately sought the source of power. It was because of power that Guang Chengzi was able to humiliate her and her brother so much, and it was also because of power that she was so helpless.
Faced with Qiongxiao's anger and sublimation, Guangchengzi didn't even bother to do anything to her, just coldly watching her continue to break through.
Qiongxiao was already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and now that she is beginning to sublimate and break through, she is naturally heading towards becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Layer upon layer of cultivation surged forth, and Qiongxiao's aura began to surge wildly. It was as if he had instantly transformed from a mortal to an immortal, beginning the ascension of his life essence.
But at the very last sliver of distance, just a tiny gap that would allow him to break through to the Great Luo realm, it stood like an insurmountable chasm, firmly blocking Qiongxiao's path.
Do not!
Qiongxiao roared silently in her heart, desperately igniting her own source, wanting to unleash a moment of Great Luo Light.
But even this small wish could not move this merciless obstacle. This insurmountable barrier still blocked Qiongxiao, preventing her from crossing the line even a step.
Even though Qiongxiao is now several times stronger than before, compared to Da Luo, she is merely an ant that has become a slightly stronger ant, which is negligible.
"Sigh! How many times has Uncle Tongtian said that cultivation is about taking one step at a time, slowly moving forward. If you don't have strong resources as a backing, don't force a breakthrough like this. It's just squandering your potential, prematurely unleashing it, and wasting your bright future!"
Guang Chengzi sat on the sword lotus and shook his head with a hint of regret: "Do you think that because you have anger in your heart, you can ignore the difference between Taiyi and Daluo?"
If a mere roar could grant a breakthrough, the entire primordial world would never be at peace. Since you've set your sights on killing me, then I won't hold back any longer. Die!
As Guang Chengzi spoke, he picked up a sword and flicked it towards Qiongxiao's face.
As expected, Qiongxiao, who had been glaring angrily and exuding an aura like a demon, immediately collapsed to the ground.
There was still blood and white discharge from between her fair eyebrows, making the scene even more bloody and pungent. Where was the sacred and noble place she once was?
This is the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. They can kill whomever they want. As long as there is no Great Luo of the same level to stop them, all their methods are in vain and they are just clowns jumping around.
Even trash in the hands of a Daluo Golden Immortal is still trash belonging to a Daluo Golden Immortal, trash that can crush the trash of countless worlds—that is the power of a Daluo.
It exists eternally and freely, and its form remains undestroyed by any calamity. To kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal is simply too incredibly difficult.
Even if a Taiyi Golden Immortal wields a supreme innate treasure and forcibly obliterates a Daluo Golden Immortal, it is not due to his own power, but rather the treasure itself exerting its power.
Besides, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal isn't stupid. Even if someone could kill him with a supreme innate treasure, if he couldn't beat them, surely he could run away?
When the time comes, he will launch surprise attacks everywhere, use curses, or hunt down his family. No one can stop him. Even a supreme treasure is not a cultivator and can only rely on instinct. It is impossible for him to stop everything.
Two disciples who were highly regarded by Tongtian died tragically on the field, and in such a cruel way. Even Duobao was speechless and dared not speak.
Even Yunxiao, the survivor, widened her beautiful eyes, her resentment evident in them, yet she couldn't utter a single word.
Guang Chengzi remained indifferent in the face of these people's appearance.
"Duobao, I haven't finished questioning you yet. Do you know your crime?"
Hearing this, Duobao could no longer pretend to be stupid, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I don't know what crime I have committed that would make you so angry, senior brother? I didn't know that these two junior brothers and sisters are under the master's attention. If you kill them so ruthlessly, when the master returns, I'm sure your second uncle will no longer be able to favor you."
Guang Chengzi said expressionlessly, "I will explain to Uncle Tongtian myself. Now I will ask you one question: do you know your crime?"
Duobao shook his head again and said, "I don't know what crime I have committed."
Guang Chengzi snorted coldly: "You have already committed a grave crime, yet you still claim you don't know what crime you have committed? This shows that your crime is compounded. As the senior disciple of the Shangqing lineage, you should be looking after the many disciples for your Uncle Tongtian."
My teacher is busy, so as his disciples, we should naturally share the burden. But you hold the position but do not think about your duties, you eat the salary but do not do your job, you are just a figurehead, and you look down on your fellow disciples.
The Shangqing lineage is now so disorganized, some killing, some drinking blood, committing rape, murder, and plunder, doing all sorts of evil!
You're like a devil! And you still claim you know nothing of your crime? You're utterly unfit for this position!
