Zuo Cen's expression changed. He didn't expect Lu Xuan to not take him seriously at all. He was a seventh level Great Void Realm expert, how could he kill him just like that?
"Lu Xuan, you can't kill me!" Zuo Cen shouted in panic, "I'm different from them. You can kill them if you want, but I'm more precious than their lives. As long as you're willing to let me go back to the Illusory God Sect, we're willing to spend a lot of resources to exchange for my life."
He Ridi couldn't help but stop his saber in mid-air. At this moment, Zuo Cen's strength was completely sealed. She didn't have the slightest ability to resist. As long as he chopped down with his saber, Zuo Cen would definitely die.
However, Zuo Cen and the others were Lu Xuan's spoils of war. Even if He Ridi and the others were higher in seniority than Lu Xuan, they still followed Lu Xuan's plan. Zuo Cen was right. A seventh level Great Void Realm expert was more valuable than a Returning Origin Realm disciple or even a low-leveled Great Void Realm expert. The Illusory God Sect would be more than happy to exchange a lot of resources for Zuo Cen's life. Nurturing a seventh level Great Void Realm expert wasn't just a matter of resources, it was also a matter of time.
"Do you think I'll let you go back and kill the people of the Nine Eastern Alliance and Myriad Shark Island?" Lu Xuan sneered, "Your life is important, but the lives of others aren't? I, Lu Xuan, don't lack the resources of the Illusory God Sect. Kill! "
Hearing Lu Xuan's merciless words, He Ridi did not hesitate in the slightest. He instantly swung his sword down, and a head rolled to the ground. Even though he was decapitated, Zuo Cen's eyes were still wide open. He did not expect Lu Xuan to not give him any chance to live at all, and kill him just like that.
If it was in the past, Lu Xuan might have thought of subduing Zuo Cen and using the power of the Oath Stone to bind him. However, after comprehending the Law of Destruction, Lu Xuan's killing intent was stronger than before. Moreover, he had seen Ruo Xiangyi die in his arms and Zhao Binger still unconscious. Only by killing could he feel better.
Even Zuo Cen was killed, so there was no reason for the rest of them to be spared. All the Grand Virtual Realm experts, including Dong Ruyi, were killed one after another. Although Dong Ruyi had almost caused him to be consigned to eternal damnation several times, Lu Xuan did not even bother to say a word. Killing her would be the end of all troubles. For a warrior, death would always be the heaviest punishment.
Seeing Lu Xuan's decisiveness, Long Boming and Nangong Lie both looked at Lu Xuan with praise. There was no room for mercy in the world of cultivation. Now that the Sikong Clan and the Illusory God Sect had completely offended the Nine Eastern Alliance, Myriad Shark Island, and the Nangong Clan, they would definitely be mortal enemies if they met again in the future. Since that was the case, it was better to kill them now to avoid future troubles.
"Who would have thought that an operation against the Hun Clan would turn into an internal conflict between the great fifth-grade sects." Long Boming gently shook his head. "But this is the best ending. After all, we are the final victors."
Lu Xuan empathized with Long Boming's words. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Ye Tian's sentiments. They clearly knew that the Hun Clan was the true enemy, but for their own interests, the Sikong Clan and the Illusory God Sect were willing to ally with the Hun Clan against their own kind. It was easy to imagine what the situation in the Heaven Region was like. Sometimes, it wasn't one's own desire for internal strife, but when someone provoked it first, you had no choice but to accept it.
"I'm very worried about the situation outside. Since Sikong Tiancai provoked such a huge battle in the sealed area, the Sikong Clan must have joined forces with the other clans in the Octagonal Sacred Hall to deal with the Nangong Clan," Nangong Lie said worriedly. Nangong Lie said worriedly. Now that the enemy had been eliminated, he was worried about the NanGong Family's situation.
"Although it's not the three-month deadline yet, I've removed the seal on the sealed area. We can leave at any time. Brother Nangong, if you're worried about the Nangong Clan, you can return now," Lu Xuan said.
Nangong Lie looked at Lu Xuan in shock. The seal had been removed by Lu Xuan? This was a seal left behind by a human powerhouse from ten thousand years ago. Even the combined strength of a fifth-rank sect could only open a spatial tunnel to send them in. How could Lu Xuan remove the seal?
However, he did not doubt Lu Xuan's words at all. There was no reason for Lu Xuan to lie to him. However, this made Lu Xuan even more mysterious in Nangong Lie's eyes. Outstanding talent, powerful strength, the ability to obtain so many treasures without anyone knowing, and the fact that he was able to remove the seal that had lasted for ten thousand years without anyone knowing. In his opinion, Lu Xuan definitely had unimaginable secrets on him.
Nangong Lie did not ask any further questions. He only cupped his hands at Lu Xuan and said, "If that's the case, I'll be leaving first. I hope we'll meet again."
"If the Nangong family needs help, just say the word. The Alliance of Jiuhua will do our best to help." This time, it was Long Boming who spoke. Long Boming had an extraordinary position in the Alliance of Jiuhua, and could be said to be Ye Wuhen's confidant. Coming from him, these words were more reliable than coming from Lu Xuan.
Nangong Lie smiled. "The Alliance of Jiuhua is very righteous. I thank you in advance. If there's anything I need, I'll definitely ask."
Nangong Lie knew that the Alliance of Jiuhua valued their strength and wanted them to help deal with the Sikong family, but now was not the time to be pretentious. The Nangong family was at a critical juncture. Moreover, the Nangong family and the Alliance of Jiuhua shared the same interests in dealing with the Sikong family.
After Nangong Lie left with the remnants of his people, He Ridi said, "I'm leaving as well. I have to go back and report everything that happened here to my big brother. We have to be on guard against a sneak attack from the Holy Temple of Eight Directions and the Illusionary God Sect."
With that, He Ridi grinned at Lu Xuan. "Kid, you're not bad. I've met so many juniors, but you're the most outstanding one."
With He Ridi's departure, only the Nine Eastern Alliance's group remained. Although they had emerged victorious in the end, it was a pyrrhic victory. The Nine Eastern Alliance had lost at least half of their members, and there was no lack of Great Void Stage experts among them. The large fourth-grade sects had also suffered disastrous losses.
The Limitless Sect and the Bone Eroding Cave only had two people left. The Absolute Monarch Sect had survived, and the Peony Palace had lost no one. Only the Profound Ice Pavilion had fared slightly better. At least they still had Lu Xuan, Zhao Ying, Chen Xiaohan, and the unconscious Zhao Binger.
As he took Ruo Xiangyi's corpse from Chen Xiaohan's hands, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a tinge of sorrow. Memories of his time with Ruo Xiangyi flashed through his mind.
"Lu Xuan, don't be too sad. As a cultivator, you have to be indifferent to life and death. The dead can't come back to life. Give Ruo Xiangyi a proper burial. Once you've mastered your martial path, you can bury the entire Holy Temple of Eight Directions with Ruo Xiangyi," Zhao Ying consoled.
Lu Xuan didn't say a word. He carried Ruo Xiangyi and walked forward. After who knew how long, he finally left the Land of Lightning and returned to the lush forest.
The forest was so flourishing that it was brimming with life. He gently placed Border of Dependence on the ground. He did not use any of his Origin Power. Instead, he used the Masked Sword to dig into the soil bit by bit until he dug out a deep pit.
"Xiangyi, this place is full of life. I'm sure you'll have a good life here. You'll become the most beautiful peony in this forest." Lu Xuan said softly, "The path of a cultivator is endless. I want to know if there's a way to defy the heavens and change fate when you reach the true peak of the martial path. I believe there will be. When that time comes, you and I will meet again."
A small grave appeared at the edge of the forest. On top of the grave stood a wooden stone tablet with the words: The Grave of My Beloved Wife, Ruo Xiangyi, stands solemnly by Lu Xuan.
