Chapter 65: Truly Impressive!
After Gu Yu exited the cave, to prevent others from accidentally entering, he moved rocks from elsewhere and sealed the cave tightly, leaving no gaps.
Whether the person trapped inside was an immortal or not, they were now unable to escape.
While Gu Yu might have been able to obtain more good things if he had stayed in the cave… one must remember a saying.
Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
It’s acceptable to ask for some benefits, but if you end up losing yourself, that’s purely foolish behavior.
Gu Yu didn’t consider himself foolish, so he wouldn’t fall into such a trap.
He’d run after getting enough.
However, there was still Liu Quan in his space who hadn’t been dealt with yet!
Thinking this way, Gu Yu released Liu Quan from his space. Before Liu Quan could say anything more, Gu Yu directly stabbed him with his sword, piercing him through.
Previously, Liu Quan’s attempt to escape using lightness skill had violated the agreement between them. Therefore, Gu Yu felt there was no problem with killing him.
Moreover, Liu Quan must have forced the female disciples of the Tianshan Sect, so he was eliminating a scourge for the people!
After killing Liu Quan, Gu Yu grabbed his corpse and used it as a shield to prevent friendly fire.
As Gu Yu had predicted, it indeed worked.
The Tianshan Sect female disciples, with eyes red from killing, were about to rush him when they saw him. However, upon seeing the corpse in Gu Yu’s hand, they immediately stopped.
After Gu Yu explained the situation, the female disciples no longer harbored the initial hatred towards him. Instead, because he was Mengyao’s husband, they repeatedly thanked him.
Hearing others mention his little wife made Gu Yu curious. He wondered why the people of the Tianshan Sect had such excited expressions when referring to Gu Mengyao.
It was as if they were talking about some incredibly important figure, their eyes filled with admiration, like adoring fans seeing their idol.
Since there was no rush to leave, Gu Yu asked for details. He then felt a sense of amusement and exasperation.
During this cleansing of the Tianshan Sect’s undesirables, the highest contributor was not a female disciple, but Gu Mengyao herself.
Yes.
You heard that right.
It was indeed Gu Mengyao.
Holding a jade-blue long sword, she easily took lives with every movement.
Furthermore, she saved quite a few female disciples of the Tianshan Sect, earning everyone’s profound admiration.
However, after helping them here, Gu Mengyao had immediately gone elsewhere to eliminate more evils.
Listening to the women’s chattering, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips, thinking, “She’s truly worthy of being Gu Yu’s wife.”
Truly impressive!
Afterwards, Gu Yu didn’t linger there any longer. Instead, he carried Liu Quan’s corpse towards Li Ning’an’s residence.
Although he didn’t know Liu Quan’s uncle’s position within the Tianshan Sect, the fact that he casually gave the precious thousand-year ice silkworm to Liu Quan suggested he was no ordinary person.
Consequently, Liu Quan’s corpse also became a sought-after item.
Having just encountered the female disciples of the Tianshan Sect, Gu Yu dared not bring up their painful matters publicly, so he didn’t ask who Liu Quan’s uncle was.
When he met the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect, Li Ning’an, he assumed he wouldn’t need to ask specifically; the Sect Leader would likely mention it directly.
“Sect Leader Li, I just caught this person in the room. He intended to kill me, but I ended up killing him instead… I heard you were purging members, so I brought him to you.”
Upon arriving at Li Ning’an’s residence, Gu Yu directly threw the corpse he was carrying onto the ground.
He quickly relieved the soreness in his arm, thinking that if he had known the corpse would be this heavy, he wouldn’t have killed Liu Quan so early.
Unlike his little wife who had innate divine strength, his current healthy body was a blessing from his space and spring water.
Therefore, when it came to physical labor, Gu Yu absolutely didn’t want to touch it!
“You actually caught Liu Quan!”
“Oh? Sect Leader Li, do you know this person?”
“How could I not know? This person is my senior brother Tang Lai’s nephew, and he was among those who harmed the Tianshan Sect together.”
Upon seeing the corpse Gu Yu brought, Li Ning’an’s expression turned to one of surprise. He clearly hadn’t expected to see Liu Quan’s corpse at this time.
However, it arrived just in time.
Tang Lai would surely want to be together with his beloved nephew on the celestial punishment rack.
Thinking of this, Li Ning’an immediately stood up from his seat, drew the long sword at his waist, and separated Liu Quan’s head from his body.
As he bent down to grab Liu Quan’s hair, Li Ning’an didn’t say much more. He simply stood up and left the hall, heading quickly towards the celestial punishment rack.
Since he was fine, Gu Yu didn’t want to return so quickly. He thus followed the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect towards the celestial punishment rack.
“Hiss… The Tianshan Sect is truly ruthless. They even have such a punishment!”
Looking up at the man locked onto the rack from below, his hands and feet were bleeding profusely, but his life was not in danger. The terrifying presence, however, came from the eagles constantly circling in the sky.
With every dive, the eagles’ sharp beaks would tear away a piece of flesh from the bound man.
At this moment, the man was covered in blood and flesh.
Despite this, he remained strong and alive, experiencing the pain in his body every moment.
Just then, Li Ning’an, carrying Liu Quan’s head, arrived directly opposite the celestial punishment rack.
“Tang Lai, I told you before that your evil deeds would be repaid!”
“Haha, merely being pecked by a flock of beasts, what is that! I, Tang Lai, have turned the Tianshan Sect upside down. Even death is worth it!”
“Then you might as well open your eyes and see whose head this is!”
Seeing that Tang Lai still showed no remorse, Li Ning’an didn’t waste any more words. He directly brought Liu Quan’s head in front of Tang Lai, making him see clearly!
Tang Lai doted on this nephew as if he were his own son.
Now that he saw Liu Quan’s tragic death, it was naturally more painful for him than being killed himself.
This was precisely why Li Ning’an brought Liu Quan’s head here – to make Tang Lai regret everything he had done!
Including bringing suffering to the many disciples of the Tianshan Sect, Tang Lai would not only repent in this life but also in the next, and the next… no matter when, he would never escape his guilt!
“Liu… Quan… Ah! Li Ning’an, I’m going to kill you!”
When Tang Lai forced his eyes open, he saw the panicked and painful expression frozen on Liu Quan’s face, and the blood continuously dripping from below his neck. This immediately caused Tang Lai to shout in rage and struggle desperately on the celestial punishment rack.
However, it was all useless.
“Tang Lai, all of this is the consequence of your own actions! Just dying was too good for him. Today! I will make Liu Quan suffer the same torment as you, being pecked to death by ten thousand eagles! Even in death, he shall not find peace!”
After Li Ning’an finished speaking, he immediately threw Liu Quan’s head at his feet.
Then, he thrust his long sword downwards, fixing it onto the sharp peak, causing him to face Tang Lai!
