Mo Wen and Old Freak Jin stood quietly on the sea. Right now, Sword Emperor Island had completely disappeared. All that was left was the seawater that surrounded them from all directions, forming a sea region.
"King, how should we deal with the Sword Emperor Sect? Why don't we just kill them all and save ourselves some trouble?"
Old Devil Jin's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. He wasn't a kind person. That Jiang Rushan was too much of a bully. Even if he had to kill everyone in the Sword Emperor Sect, he wouldn't show any mercy.
Mo Wen shook his head slightly and said softly, "Cultivators must not commit unwarranted killings. It harms the harmony of heaven and hinders the cultivation of laws and principles in the future."
"The sinners of the Sword Emperor Sect are only those leaders who were blinded by greed. The rest of them were merely following orders. Furthermore, the Sword Emperor behind the Sword Emperor Sect is not a small problem. "
The Sword Thearch's cultivation was extremely profound, and he was only half a step away from becoming a Heavenly Law Sage. He was probably not much weaker than the Martial God of the past. Furthermore, the Sword Thearch was not alone. He controlled the Sword Thearch Alliance. The Sword Thearch Sect might not be considered much, but the Sword Thearch Alliance involved countless major factions in the Celestial Cloud Sea. Even he had to take it seriously.
"Then, does Your Majesty mean that we should only kill the leader and let the others go?" Old Ghost Jin asked.
"Naturally, I can't let them off so easily. I believe that the Sword Emperor will return."
Mo Wen smiled but did not say anything. Once they were imprisoned in the Divine Kingdom in the Palm, their lives would be in his hands. Even if the Sword Emperor returned, it would be useless. With such a huge bargaining chip in his hands, how could he let it go so easily?
The space was slightly distorted, and a Light Door quietly appeared in front of Mo Wen. He stepped out and entered the Light Door.
In the boundless void, a huge island floated quietly in the sky. It was the Sword Emperor Island.
At that moment, all the cultivators on the island had looks of horror on their faces. They were running around in a panic, hoping to charge out of the island. The entire Sword Emperor City was in complete chaos. All the cultivators were frantically running away.
However, there was a mystical power of law in the heaven and earth. It was like a chain that imprisoned the entire island. No one could leave the Sword Emperor Island. In fact, the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation had gone completely silent, and was no longer able to operate. No matter how hard the people from the Sword Emperor Sect tried, there was no response.
All the higher-ups of the Xue Family were gathered in the ancestral shrine, waiting quietly.
In the entire Sword Emperor City, most likely only the Xue Manor could remain calm. It was because they believed that Mo Wen would definitely not harm them. Otherwise, he would not have come all the way to the Xue Manor to find Xue Ruyue and repay her kindness.
Xue Ruyue looked at the elders of the clan, each and every one of them placing him in the middle. Her mood was extremely complicated. Although she was the Second Miss of the Xue family, her status was far inferior to the elders of the family. Normally, she wouldn't even have the right to step into the ancestral hall.
But now, she was invited into the ancestral shrine by a group of elders, and was even allowed to sit beside her grandfather.
Compared to Xue Ruyue, the other person was in a more miserable state. It was none other than Xue Guangkun.
At this point, Xue Guangkun finally realized how wrong he was and how stupid he was to do such a thing.
"Ancestor, please save me. I won't dare to do it again."
Xue Guangkun knelt on the ground with tears and mucus flowing down his face. He looked at the Xue Family Old Ancestor with a pitiful expression. Compared to the gleeful expression he had before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The Sword Emperor Island was imprisoned, and the entire Sword Emperor Sect could not even fend for themselves. Naturally, no one would care about his life or death.
He knew that he would only have a chance of survival if the Xue Clan came forward to plead for him.
"Vile creature, you still have the face to beg for mercy after what you have done."
Xue Wansheng had a look of exasperation. Originally, the addition of a Great Dao Realm cultivator to the clan was a joyous matter. It would bring glory to the clan and strengthen the clan's prosperity.
Unexpectedly, Xue Guangkun was such a vile creature and had committed such a heinous mistake.
The other members of the Xue Clan all had cold gazes. Xue Guangkun's betrayal and wild ambition made everyone in the Xue Clan very angry.
The Xue Clan's Patriarch did not say a word. He sat silently on the leader's seat. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Ancestor, I am a disciple of the Xue Clan after all. I have sacrificed a lot for the Xue Clan. It was not easy for me to cultivate to the Great Dao Realm. How can I die in vain? Ancestor, I won't dare to do it again. If you can spare my life, I will dedicate my life to the clan. "
Xue Guangkun looked at the Xue Clan's Patriarch in despair. He didn't want to die and was unwilling to die. He had just cultivated to the Great Dao Realm and had yet to experience the feeling of ruling over a region. How could he die like this?
How many years would it take for a Great Dao Realm existence to appear in the Immortal Cloud Sea? Any one of them was extremely precious. It was even more so in a clan.
The members of the Xue Clan sighed softly. If Xue Guangkun hadn't betrayed the clan, his status in the clan would definitely not be inferior to any of the Grand Elders. He might even be higher. After all, he was a young Great Dao Realm cultivator while they were old.
"Your life and death are not in my hands. It's useless even if you beg me," the Xue Clan's Patriarch said expressionlessly.
"Patriarch!"
Xue Guangkun cried out sorrowfully. If the Xue Clan didn't care about him, only death awaited him.
"Once some mistakes are committed, there is no turning back. There is no medicine for regret in this world," the Xue Clan's Patriarch said plainly.
The members of the Xue Clan fell silent. Would Mo Wen let Xue Guangkun off if they pleaded for him? Their Xue Clan most likely didn't have that kind of power. After all, Xue Guangkun's actions were too hateful.
"It's not impossible for your Xue Clan to protect him. As long as Second Young Mistress Xue says the word, I will naturally let him off once."
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the hall. At the same time, the figure of a youth silently appeared in the hall like a gust of wind. Before the members of the Xue Clan could react, he had already appeared there.
"Mo Wen!"
"Lord Mo Wen!"
…
The members of the Xue Clan were astonished. Before this, they could still treat Mo Wen as an equal. But now, they no longer had the guts to do so. After all, this person was an absolute villain who suppressed the Sword Emperor Sect and even took away the entire Sword Emperor Island.
Some of the Xue Clan's Grand Elders even bowed slightly to show their respect. The Xue Clan's Patriarch also stood up subconsciously. As for the other members of the Xue Clan, they all lowered their heads submissively. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Xue Guangkun knelt on the ground and looked at Mo Wen. His emotions were incomparably complicated. He originally wanted to open his mouth to beg, but when he saw Mo Wen's cold gaze, he was so frightened that he swallowed his words.
"Ruyue … niece Ruyue, save me. Please save your uncle."
Xue Guangkun turned his head to look at Xue Ruyue and continuously kowtowed. His eyes were filled with pleading and hope at the same time.
Just now, Mo Wen had said that as long as Xue Ruyue pleaded for him, he would let him go.
"Ruyue, no."
Xue Wansheng's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly stopped Xue Ruyue. He was afraid that Xue Ruyue would really plead for Xue Guangkun.
"You evil creature. Why are you so spineless? Where is the demeanor of the Xue Clan's disciples? You are so pitiful and lamentable."
Xue Rong looked at Xue Guangkun with a look of disdain. This junior had really disappointed him.
How could the people of the Xue Clan not understand that if Xue Ruyue really pleaded for Xue Guangkun, then the kindness they had shown to Xue Guangkun would disappear with the wind. Mo Wen's kindness in exchange for Xue Guangkun's lowly life was not worth it no matter how the people of the Xue Clan looked at it.
Actually, Mo Wen did not care about Xue Guangkun's life or death. With his current level, Xue Guangkun was just a clown in his eyes. It did not matter if Xue Guangkun lived or died.
Mo Wen's purpose in coming to the Xue Manor was to repay the kindness they had shown him in the past. After all, he had been hunted down by Peng Tianlei. If the second young mistress of the Xue Clan had not taken him in, he would not have been able to recuperate so peacefully.
He did not like to owe others favors. Once this matter was settled, he would leave.
If Xue Ruyue wanted him to let Xue Guangkun go, he would agree. It was just to repay the kindness they had shown him in the past.
Xue Ruyue looked at Xue Guangkun, who was kneeling on the ground. Then, she looked at the elders who had spoken up to stop her anxiously. She hesitated for a moment. She naturally knew that once she spoke up to plead for Xue Guangkun, she would miss a great opportunity.
"Ruyue, Clan Uncle is begging you …"
Xue Guangkun was full of pleading. It was as though he was grasping at straws. He tried hard to recall if he had any warm memories with Xue Ruyue. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not recall any warm memories with Xue Ruyue.
Although he was her Clan Uncle, the Xue Clan was too big. With a big clan, there would naturally be a lot of people. There would also be a huge difference between how close they were to each other.
After so many years, he had seen Xue Ruyue less than five times. There was no warm relationship between the two of them as uncle and niece.
"Ruyue, Xue Guangkun is not worthy of you doing this. The Xue Clan also does not wish for you to do this. Don't be emotional. Moreover, Xue Guangkun deserved to die. He has already betrayed the clan. From now on, he is no longer a member of the Xue Clan. "
The Xue Clan Patriarch could not sit still and could not help but speak up.
He was very clear about how much Mo Wen's kindness meant to him now. Even if Xue Guangkun had committed such a grave mistake, which was equivalent to betraying the clan, he would not let Xue Ruyue exchange him for a Great Dao Realm cultivator of the Xue Clan who had not done anything wrong.
"Patriarch!"
Xue Guangkun's face was pale as he cried out in grief. His eyes were filled with hatred. He had knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in such a dejected manner, yet the clan was so indifferent.
Xue Ruyue took a deep breath. She bit her lip and said softly, "Uncle Guangkun, I'm sorry. Ruyue also has selfish motives."
Once she said this, Xue Guangkun froze on the spot like a statue. After a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud. He was extremely crazy, and tears kept falling from his eyes. He was in his prime and had stepped into the Great Dao Realm. He had a bright future ahead of him, but he did not expect to end up like this.
Mo Wen raised his eyes and looked at Xue Guangkun expressionlessly. He said plainly, "Since that is the case, you have committed a capital crime. Die."
With a wave of his hand, a formless power of law descended from the void and bombarded Xue Guangkun's body. In an instant, he turned into nothingness, leaving nothing behind.
When the members of the Xue Clan saw this, they all kept quiet out of fear. They looked at Mo Wen in awe.
A Great Dao Realm cultivator had actually been killed so easily. It was even easier than killing an ant.
In the Palm Divine Kingdom, Mo Wen had absolute control. He could even fight against a Heavenly Path Saint, let alone a Great Dao Realm cultivator.
