Chapter 689: Chapter 376: Keep Going

Huang Fu shouted in anger, executing the Qi Vortex Palm. The palm lines were clearly visible, wrapped with the Qiankun One Qi, and the wind came before the palm arrived!

Ji Yexue, momentarily caught off guard, failed to regulate her Inner Breath properly. First, she was struck in mid-air by the thin man’s double fists, and immediately after, she was hit squarely in the chest and abdomen by the Qiankun One Qi Great Hand Seal.

Her whole body was first smashed to the ground, shattering the stone-paved surface, then she flew back rapidly.

Accompanied by the sound of the ground shattering, she flew back nearly a hundred zhang.

Creating a trench on the ground as she went, she rolled over and, as she stood up again, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The sudden turn of events was like a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, just as the disciples of the Yao Tai Sect had been witnessing their Sect Leader display divine might.

No one expected that in the blink of an eye, they would fall into such an upheaval.

A sense of great fear filled everyone’s hearts.

The thin man staggered and was already in front of Ji Yexue in an instant. He reached out and grabbed her head, lifting her from the ground.

Although Ji Yexue possessed the White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life, her Inner Power Cultivation was extraordinary.

But first, she was injured by the Chaotic Vajra Madness Technique, then heavily wounded by the Qiankun One Qi Hand Seal. Although her flawless Leakless Body left no visible external marks, internally, the Inner Breath of the White Jade Scripture had become chaotic.

Yet, her heart was as pure as white jade, unstained by dust, remaining calm and rational regardless of the situation.

For now, she knew she must first regulate her True Qi internally.

Thus, she paid no mind to the thin man’s actions.

The thin man pinched her head, holding her up in mid-air.

He glanced around, and the frantic thoughts in his mind calmed down somewhat in that moment.

Then, the fat man spoke coldly:

"Ji Yexue’s life is in our hands, are you going to surrender or not?"

Yao Tai Sect disciples were filled with fury, but before they could speak, someone shouted loudly:

"Surrender!

"We are willing to surrender!!"

Upon hearing these words, all the Yao Tai Sect disciples looked incredulously in the direction of the voice, which belonged to Elder He from earlier.

Immediately, a disciple exclaimed:

"Elder He! We must not surrender!!"

"Indeed, Elder He, the Celestial Evil Cult has committed countless atrocities, how can we submit to such evil forces?"

"Silence!!"

Elder He shouted angrily, flicking his robe sleeves. With two swift sounds, two streams of Sword Qi pierced through the throats of those two disciples.

This scene left the surrounding Yao Tai Sect disciples dumbfounded.

They saw Elder He bow respectfully and say to Huang Fu and Qi Lu:

"Rest assured, we are willing to surrender with this old man around."

"And who might you be?"

Huang Fu furrowed his brow slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

To which Elder He chuckled:

"I am He Wenzhang! I have old ties with the Han Family Patriarch... Long have I known of Celestial Evil Cult’s greatness and have admired your heroes from afar."

The fat and thin duo exchanged a glance, and Huang Fu let out a cold laugh:

"So it’s you, the one who toppled mountains with Yijian, He Wenzhang, indeed knowing the times as a true hero.

"Alright, our Celestial Evil Cult opens its doors wide, welcoming anyone under the heavens.

"All you need to do is kill those who refuse to submit to our Celestial Evil Cult; from then on, you’ll have wealth and glory beyond measure!

"Not to mention, with Ji Yexue’s death, the Yao Tai Sect will need a new Sect Leader, and I think you fit the bill."

He Wenzhang was overjoyed:

"Thank you, envoys. Leave it to this old man."

At that, he turned back to the many disciples of the Yao Tai Sect, his eyes cold as he spoke:

"You’ve heard it: before you now are only two roads.

"One is a broad avenue!

"The other, a path to your destruction!

"To live or die... it’s up to you!"

"Elder He!!"

A disciple spoke with heartfelt anguish:

"It’s unacceptable; our Yao Tai Sect is known as one of the Nine Great Forces in Lingbei. We may not be without fault towards the people of the Martial World, but under no circumstances can we ally with the likes of the Celestial Evil Cult."

Another chimed in:

"Didn’t Elder He just say the same thing earlier? How can he go back on his word so easily now?"

These two statements led the attending Yao Tai Sect disciples to nod in agreement.

He Wenzhang gave a cold laugh and was about to speak when a long sword suddenly pierced one person’s chest.

Caught off guard, the man turned around suddenly to see a handsome young man standing behind him, his pupils contracted:

"He Qianqiu... you..."

Before he could finish, the sword was already withdrawn, and with a pfft, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and died on the spot.

The other person’s eyes flashed with rage as he yelled angrily:

"You father and son will die a terrible death!!!"

He drew his sword to attack.

But before the long sword was thrust out, a streak of Sword Qi had already swept across his throat, and as he reached to touch it, blood gushed out like a breach in a dam.

With the death of two more Yao Tai Sect disciples, the scene instantly spun out of control.

Some cursed He Wenzhang for being despicable and shameless, while others denounced He Qianqiu as a treacherous schemer, both father and son betraying trust in the same way.

Yet there were those who, confronted with life-and-death decisions, chose themselves over the Sect.

Thus, joining the duo to suppress the Yao Tai Sect disciples who refused to submit.

The fat and thin duo, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"So-called righteous sects are no different."

"They’re all human; who doesn’t partake in worldly affairs?"

The thin man, having returned to his normal form, grabbed Ji Yexue’s hair and looked at her with a smile:

"Isn’t that right, Great Sect Leader Ji?

"Everyone is afraid of death and has their vices.
