"Third brother, leave quickly. They won't let me go."
Bai Hong's eyes were filled with tears. He knew that he was going to die today. Ao Qing wanted to protect him, but facing Ye Xuan and the eight monster kings, he was doomed.
"No one in this world can let me down, and no one can go against my will."
"Ao Qing, look at who this is."
Ye Xuan's finger brushed through the air, causing ripples to appear in the air. A ragged old man with two horns on his head appeared beside Ye Xuan. The immortal iron chains tightly bound him, and he was currently looking around in a daze.
"Father … Father?"
When the South Sea Dragon King appeared in Ao Qing's eyes, he was completely stunned on the spot. He couldn't understand why his royal father was clearly on the Violet Dragon Peak and even had the protection of the Great Formation of the Chaotic Heaven to prevent Ye Xuan from threatening him with the South Sea Dragon King.
But what was going on with the South Sea Dragon King that appeared beside Ye Xuan?
"Son, are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, a figure shot up from Violet Dragon Peak. It was the South Sea Dragon King. However, when the two South Sea Dragon Kings appeared in front of Ao Qing, he seemed to understand something. He looked at Ye Xuan with eyes full of anger and killing intent.
Buzz!
The South Sea Dragon King, who had come here from Violet Dragon Peak, smiled strangely. Celestial light surged around him, and he turned into a puppet. With a bang, he disappeared into the air with the wind.
"Puppet Doppelganger Technique?" Ao Qing's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke.
The Puppet Doppelganger Technique was a demonic technique. It gathered the essence blood of the true body to form a doppelganger. The doppelganger had the memories of the true body, and its aura was exactly the same. Even the closest relatives couldn't tell the difference.
However, this demonic technique had long been lost in the Desolate Age. Ao Qing had never imagined that Ye Xuan would have such a technique.
"Son … Son … What … What's going on?"
The South Sea Dragon King wasn't stupid. When he saw the scene around him, he felt extremely uneasy. He knew that he had fallen into a huge trap.
"Ye Xuan, what do you want?"
Looking at Ye Xuan's strange and cold smile, Ao Qing's entire body shivered, and the eyes he looked at Ye Xuan with faintly revealed a trace of fear.
Ao Qing was not afraid of Ye Xuan's cultivation. What he feared was Ye Xuan's methods. This person was too scheming and shrewd. He had been playing with him in the palm of his hand all this time. This was clearly forcing him to make an unimaginable choice.
Weng!
Suddenly, an immortal sword appeared in Ye Xuan's hand. The cold blade was pressed against the South Sea Dragon King's chest. Ye Xuan looked at Ao Qing with a sinister glint in his eyes.
"Didn't I tell you that no one can wrong me, and no one can go against my will?"
"Right now, there are only two choices before you. Either Bai Hong dies, or the South Sea Dragon King dies. As for the choice, it's entirely up to you."
When Ye Xuan finished speaking, Ao Qing's entire body trembled. He was completely dumbfounded as he knelt powerlessly in the air. Clearly, the choice Ye Xuan had given him had put him in a dilemma.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety could not be achieved at the same time. Ao Qing finally understood the meaning of this saying.
On one side was Bai Hong, whom he owed a great debt of gratitude to. He was like a master and a father to him. If not for Bai Hong, he would have died at the hands of the celestial soldiers long ago.
On the other side was his old father, who had willingly suffered for a thousand generations in the eye of the South Sea for the crimes he had committed.
Ao Qing had no choice, nor did he want to. No matter which side he chose, it would make him a man of great sin.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan had no such so-called compassion. Ao Qing had to make this choice whether he wanted to or not.
Ye Xuan's way of doing things was to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.
In fact, the situation was already set. With the help of the eight monster kings, even without the South Sea Dragon King, Ao Qing could not stop them. Bai Hong's only fate was death.
However, the reason Ye Xuan did this was to show the eight Demon Kings. This was also a form of intimidation, and it was to tell them that anyone who went against me, Ye Xuan, wouldn't have a good ending.
At this moment, the Eight Great Demon Kings were watching coldly from the sidelines, but there was a flash of fear in their eyes. They had seen too many people with profound cultivation bases, and they had also seen the high and mighty Golden Immortal.
But no one had ever made them feel a silent fear. This fear came from Ye Xuan's cruel and insidious methods.
In the eyes of the eight monster kings, Ye Xuan's cultivation was not worth mentioning. Although he had some trump cards, he was still a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Even the weakest of the eight monster kings was at this level.
However, what they saw today made them understand that Ye Xuan played with people's hearts in the palm of his hand. His methods were insidious and ruthless. If they did not guard against him, they would follow in Ao Qing's footsteps.
Death was terrifying, but what was even more terrifying was living a life worse than death.
Ao Qing's current situation was a good example of what it meant to be in a dilemma between life and death.
"Ye Xuan … You … Let me go … Please let me go."
Suddenly, Ao Qing knelt in the air and kowtowed to Ye Xuan. Clear tears flowed from his eyes. The monster kings shook their heads and sighed. They did not expect the proud and unyielding Ao Qing to fall to such a state.
Pfft!
Ye Xuan's sword pierced through the South Sea Dragon King's chest and suddenly lifted him up. The South Sea Dragon King cried out in pain. Blood spurted from his chest. It was a sad and beautiful sight.
"No!"
Such a scene caused Ao Qing to roar in grief and anger. However, under his sorrowful and indignant gaze, Ye Xuan's sword pierced through the South Sea Dragon King's body. Dozens of bloody holes also appeared on the South Sea Dragon King's body.
"Ah!"
The immortal sword pierced his body and stirred up his flesh. The South Sea Dragon King groaned and screamed in agony. His vitality was quickly dissipating. If this continued, he would die a horrible death at Ye Xuan's hands.
"Third brother, kill me!"
Bai Hong roared in grief and anger. He grabbed Ao Qing's arm and roared madly.
Bai Hong knew that he would die without a doubt today. Ye Xuan would never let him go. He wanted him to do a good deed before he died. He did not want Ao Qing to suffer such agony.
"Come on, third brother. Kill me. Kill me!"
Bai Hong gathered the last of his strength and formed a dagger. He shoved it into Ao Qing's hand and drove the dagger in Ao Qing's hand toward his forehead.
"No!"
Ao Qing wailed and pushed Bai Hong away. He clutched the dagger tightly and knelt in the air, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes.
"Ao Qing, you shouldn't have gone against me."
Ye Xuan's voice was cold and emotionless. He suddenly pulled the immortal sword out of the South Sea Dragon King's chest, drawing a large amount of dragon blood. He pointed the bloody sword at Ao Qing and said savagely, "Kill Bai Hong for me!"
"Kill Bai Hong!"
