Chapter 195: What you think is all about yourself!

“I can’t believe how selfish you are! All you think about is yourself! Using us to save your own skin, you damn traitor!”

“Bastard! If we get out of here alive, we’ll make your life a living hell!”

Ignoring the curses from the black-clothed men, the black-clothed leader stepped forward twice, knelt on one knee, and cupped his hands to the Punishment Hall disciple, saying:

“I’ve done everything you asked me to do. Please keep your promise and let me live.”

The leading Punishment Hall disciple nodded and signaled to a disciple beside him.

That disciple immediately stepped forward, formed a hand seal, and a rope appeared out of thin air, binding the black-clothed leader hand and foot.

The black-clothed leader panicked.

He thought the Punishment Hall disciple intended to kill the donkey once the grinding was done, and quickly tried to break free.

But the rope only tightened.

He hurriedly said:

“What are you doing? You’re breaking your word! No, you’re a righteous sect, you can’t do this! Spare my life, spare my life!”

The leading Punishment Hall disciple soothed:

“Don’t be afraid, and don’t struggle. This is all necessary preparation. I said we’d spare your life, and we will. If you keep struggling, we won’t be so kind.”

“The reason we tied you up is just to make sure you’re not faking your defection—a safety measure. Once this matter is over, we’ll naturally give you a resolution.”

“Rest assured, no matter what, the Lingyun Sect does not kill prisoners.”

The black-clothed leader wasn’t entirely convinced, but the rope was extremely tough. He had been bound tightly in a moment of carelessness, and there was no way to break free in the short term.

Now his life was practically in their hands, so he had no choice but to submit. He simply sat on the ground and awaited his fate.

Seeing this, the leading Punishment Hall disciple stepped forward and tried to persuade them to surrender again:

“If you surrender now, after our Lingyun Sect investigates, as long as you haven’t committed extremely heinous crimes, we may still give you a way out.”

“If you resist stubbornly, you’ll only meet your death!”

A living person is always more valuable than a dead one.

If it’s possible not to fight, it’s best not to fight.

If he could make these spies surrender with just words, the merit would surely be greater than if they fought.

Hearing this, the black-clothed men all glared angrily and laughed scornfully.

“Don’t think we’re that fool. Are we that stupid? To believe your words? Do you think we don’t know what the Lingyun Sect is really like?”

“On the surface you’re a righteous sect, but you torture every single person who surrenders to death, without exception.”

“We’re far away in Chaos Demon Mountain, and we know all about it. That idiot is a fool. He actually believed your lies, and now he’s tied up by you, waiting to be skinned alive!”

The leading Punishment Hall disciple frowned and wanted to persuade again.

But the black-clothed Liao Ya directly formed a hand seal and released a colorful giant python.

The giant python charged at him and violently exploded.

A terrifying poisonous fog instantly enveloped everyone, corroding their Spiritual Power Shields.

By the time they rushed out of the poison fog, the group of black-clothed men were already running toward the hall’s entrance.

The leading Punishment Hall disciple sneered coldly:

“Truly fools. We offered you a way out and you refused. Since you want to die, we’ll grant your wish!”

“Kill!”

The Punishment Hall disciples shot out like arrows from a bow, instantly charging at the black-clothed men who were trapped by the activated formation.

Amidst flashes of blades and swords, the slaughter began.

Five minutes later, the black-clothed Liao Ya was decapitated with a single sword strike.

Seven minutes later, the black-clothed Lan Yan was reduced to corpse fragments.

Nine minutes later, the black-clothed Daoba fell.

In less than ten minutes, despite the black-clothed men’s remarkable strength, the Punishment Hall disciples were not weak either.

They were quickly killed off until only Chifa and You Yuelan remained.

And from the looks of it, within another minute at most, the two of them would also be slain.

Bai Lingfeng, who was participating in the siege, showed a flicker of reluctance in his eyes.

Earlier, You Yuelan had exchanged a few moves with him, and he had clearly held back.

Otherwise, You Yuelan would have been killed by him long ago.

But even so, he couldn’t change You Yuelan’s imminent fate.

Mainly because there were so many Punishment Hall disciples present. He couldn’t just switch sides at the critical moment and save You Yuelan, could he?

After all, You Yuelan was just an ordinary friend to him.

However, at this critical moment, a woman suddenly burst in from outside the door.

You Yuelan’s eyes trembled.

It was Yijia!

Yijia steadied herself and quickly formed hand seals, casting a spell.

A Thunder Net Technique shot directly into the jade pillar beside her.

Dark blue lightning serpents slithered continuously, temporarily paralyzing the mana network of the Heaven-Bearing Hall, rendering the formations here ineffective.

The Punishment Hall disciples were shocked and furious, immediately realizing that this person’s preparations were far more thorough than those previous spies.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to pinpoint the weak point of the Heaven-Bearing Hall’s formation so accurately.

And perhaps this woman was the main force behind stealing the Mountain and Sea Map.

Fortunately, there was a traitor among them; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Chifa, on the other hand, was overjoyed, also thinking that Yijia had come to steal the Mountain and Sea Map.

He quickly said:

“There’s a traitor among us, and most of our people are dead. Forget about stealing the Mountain and Sea Map for now. You’ve already planned an escape route, right? Let’s go quickly!”

“Bastard! Where did you come from? Surrender now and submit!”

“Don’t think we haven’t set up outside. We’ve laid a Net of Heaven and Earth out there, waiting for you to escape.”

“Surrender and you still have a chance to live!”

Yijia lowered her head without speaking, directly took out several Talisman Treasures she had prepared in advance, and flung them out.

Several terrifyingly powerful Thunder Strike Techniques burst forth instantly.

Nine roaring thunder dragons appeared out of thin air and swept directly toward the leading Punishment Hall disciple.

Since the Punishment Hall disciples were all on guard against sneak attacks, none of them could provide support in time.

That leading Punishment Hall disciple could only watch in terror as the thunder dragons engulfed him.

Only after several seconds did the lightning dissipate, revealing him severely wounded.

Without another word, Yijia flashed forward and grabbed You Yuelan’s hand.

“Let’s go. We can’t stay here long. Come with me quickly.”

With that, she pulled You Yuelan and ran out.

Seeing this, Chifa hurriedly tried to follow.

But Yijia turned around and cast another Thunder Strike Technique, electrocuting him until he was numb.

“Who said you could leave? Stay here and draw their fire!”

The black-clothed Chifa was furious.

By the time he regained his mobility, he was already surrounded by the Punishment Hall disciples.

With no other choice, he could only put his hands on his head and surrender.

Outside the Heaven-Bearing Hall.

Lin Huanhuan, who had been squatting in a tree until her feet went numb, suddenly lit up.

Watching two figures flying out using escape techniques, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

“They’re finally out. Just as expected—two people. So far, it’s exactly the same as the original work.”

“Quick, follow them. I hope the rest is the same too.”
