Chapter 275: You all agree, right?
“Hmm, it’s about time.”
A soft feminine voice echoed through the air.
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
As the gentle female voice reached Xia He’s ears, his heart began pounding violently. Each beat felt like it was going to shatter his chest! Xia He clutched his heart tightly.
His heartbeat grew faster and more intense.
Xia He could feel his spiritual energy becoming increasingly uncontrollable. The fortune that had just barely settled down started surging again within him.
The Heavenly Profound Gate’s magic array gradually slipped out of Xia He’s control and even began backfiring on his body.
“This heart! There’s something wrong with it!”
Only now did Xia He understand what had happened.
“Mo Zhu’er!” Xia He shouted, his voice filled with rage as if he were about to devour someone.
“Lord Sect Leader, I’m right here.” Mo Zhu’er hovered a hundred meters in front of Xia He, smiling as she looked at him.
“What did you do to this heart?!” Xia He glared fiercely at Mo Zhu’er.
Mo Zhu’er’s eyes curved into a crescent, her tone light and cheerful: “I didn’t really do anything special… Just before, when I was in the Western Regions, Lord Sect Leader rewarded me with a flower called the Zhusian Flower. The nectar of this flower is quite playful. It looks just like ordinary flower nectar.
However, when this Zhusian Flower nectar mixes with blood, it undergoes a change within half an hour.
In the end, it produces toxins so potent that even cultivators at the Xiānrén Jìng can’t resist them. That’s all there is to it.”
“You actually tricked me! What benefit does this bring to your Black Lotus Sect?” Xia He clenched his fists tightly, pain and anger causing his nails to dig into his palms.
“For the Black Lotus Sect, there isn’t much benefit, but for me personally, the advantages are quite significant,” Mo Zhu’er said with a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid the Black Lotus Sect will hold you accountable? This is their grand plan spanning a thousand years! And you’ve ruined it all!” Xia He couldn’t comprehend why Mo Zhu’er would betray the Black Lotus Sect and destroy this plan.
Even if she gained some benefits from it, how could that possibly compare?
This plan was far too important to the Black Lotus Sect. Was she truly not afraid of being killed by the entire sect?
How dare she?! “That’s none of your concern, Lord Sect Leader. I’ll handle it myself,” Mo Zhu’er replied with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
“You! Haaah…” Xia He managed to utter one word before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His body began swelling rapidly, like an inflating balloon.
“I can’t die! I can’t die! I’m almost at the Ascension Realm! I still can’t die! I…”
“BOOM!”
Xia He’s body exploded in mid-air, turning into a mist of blood, leaving only a black heart floating in the air.
Everyone watched Xia He’s sudden death, feeling a sense of unreality, as if none of this were real.
Just moments ago, Xia He had been so arrogant and invincible.
And now he was dead?
“Disgusting thing.”
Mo Zhu’er flicked her finger at the heart, covering the evil demon heart with true flames. In an instant, it turned to ashes.
The reason these demonic entities could be summoned was entirely because Xia He had used himself as the medium for the summoning. With Xia He dead, the medium disappeared, and thus the crack in the heavens grew smaller, and the demonic entity was being rejected by the world’s laws.
“Truly pathetic…” A humanoid demon clad in armor sighed, “I’ll give you some more time to live. Enjoy it while it lasts. One day, this world will welcome us.”
The demon’s voice faded away into the air.
“Whether you come or not, what does it matter to me?” Mo Zhu’er shrugged indifferently.
So-called demons were merely another form of existence different from humans and beasts.
Were they strong? Then she would become stronger!
This world has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. Whether the demons arrive or not, the world remains the same.
Despite disliking Xia He, Mo Zhu’er acknowledged one of his beliefs—strength is the ultimate truth.
Although Xia He was dead, the Demon Lord couldn’t descend yet, but Xia He had already summoned numerous demons. Wang Xuan and others were working to eliminate them.
Those Heavenly Profound Gate cultivators who had sided with Xia He realized the situation was hopeless and fled toward the gate, knowing they would be held accountable.
But the other members of the Heavenly Profound Gate wouldn’t let these traitors escape, chasing after them relentlessly.
Even though Xia He was dead and the situation seemed resolved, chaos still reigned.
At this moment, Mo Zhu’er flew to the Xuantian Tree and lightly tapped it.
Instantly, the tree began cracking apart, and the mountains and ground of the Heavenly Profound Gate trembled violently.
With the death of the array spirit and Xia He, the Heavenly Profound Gate’s magic array was ownerless and severely damaged. This was the perfect opportunity to claim the Dragon Vein.
“Roar!”
With a dragon’s cry, the Dragon Vein was extracted by Mo Zhu’er.
A massive Fortune Long Dragon emerged from the Xuantian Tree, which began wilting as the Dragon Vein was stripped away.
The Dragon Vein coiled around Mo Zhu’er and eventually merged into her clothes, forming a silver-white dragon pattern on her black dress.
“The Dragon Vein of your Heavenly Profound Gate is now mine,” Mo Zhu’er declared to Wang Xuan and the others, then turned her gaze to Ming, “We’ll meet again soon~”
Mo Zhu’er crushed the Poxu Pearl, creating a portal behind her. She stepped into the void and disappeared.
Ruyan transformed into a wisp of green smoke and followed Mo Zhu’er.
The entire process took less than five breaths, and by the time anyone reacted, it was already too late.
With Xia He dead and Mo Zhu’er gone, Ming, who was already exhausted, could no longer hold on and plummeted from the sky.
Wu and Qingwan both rushed toward Ming to catch him.
Noticing each other, they furrowed their brows but neither backed down.
“Oh my, even when asleep, this young master is so handsome,” Wu remarked teasingly.
In the end, neither Wu nor Qingwan caught Ming; instead, Zhou scooped him up into her arms.
Zhou smiled at the two stunning beauties: “You all agree, right?”
[Always wanted to hit ten thousand words, but somehow I never manage to. Every time I finish four thousand words, I just want to slack off, check my phone, watch videos, play a couple rounds of battle royale to relax.
Before I know it, it’s eleven o’clock, and there’s still so much work to do every day. Time to get it together!]
