Inside the palace, there was complete silence.
In front of an Inferior Heavenly King, a peak-level Ninth Marquis indeed had no power to resist, not to mention that this Inferior Heavenly King had even killed a peak-level Inferior Heavenly King, Dong Xingzhou!
"Who else went to Jade Imperial City ten years ago?"
With a wave of his hand, the "Primal Chaos Dao Flame" that was floating in the air condensed into a ball and returned to his palm. Tang Huan looked at the crowd with a smile, and wherever her gaze passed, the cultivators of the Divine Martial Sect kept quiet out of fear, "If no one else stands out, then I will treat all of you equally!"
"I know!" I know who has been there!
"An anxious voice suddenly rang out, and the one who jumped out was a man in white. He had a delicate and pretty baby face, and looked like a sixteen or seventeen year old youth. However, his cultivation was not weak, and although he could not be considered at the top of the hall, he was still an eighth level Heaven Marquis.
As soon as the white-robed man finished speaking, many angry gazes landed on him.
However, there were also a few Divine Martial Sect cultivators who heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Their eyes flashed with a hint of undetectable joy. They had probably thought of the same thing as the man in white, but before they could make up their minds, the man in white had already jumped out.
In this way, they would not be able to betray their fellow sect members, but they would still be able to obtain a chance of survival.
"Guo Yao, shut up!"
An angry shout suddenly rang out. It was the green-robed old man who was gnashing his teeth as he stared at the white-clothed man. It was as if he wanted to pounce on him and tear him to shreds.
"Noisy!"
Tang Huan glanced sideways at him, and the ball of "Primal Chaos Dao Flame" in her palm once again shot out explosively, landing on the green robed elder's body. In an instant, the green robed elder had already turned into ashes, while Tang Huan's gaze once again returned to the white clothed man called Guo Yao, "Continue!"
With the example of the green-robed elder, the Divine Martial Sect cultivators who were already afraid of Tang Huan did not dare to make a sound.
Guo Yao took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the fear in her chest, and read out the names one by one. In this hall, every cultivator whose name was called out had a deathly pale face, and their hearts were like dead ashes. In just a short moment, amongst the dozens of people, including Guo Yao, there were only a dozen or so people whose names were not called out.
"Everyone, you don't have to do this."
Tang Huan said with a smile, "The reason why I invited all of you out was because I wanted to give all of you a good fortune, so that all of you can properly comprehend life and death."
When the dozens of Divine Martial Sect cultivators heard this, they were all stunned. What did Tang Huan mean by that?
However, before they could figure out what was going on, Tang Huan had already disappeared. Then, everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes, a sharp pain in their Dantian, as if something had landed on their lower abdomen. Immediately after, Tang Huan's figure once again appeared in everyone's line of sight.
Everyone immediately understood that Tang Huan had walked around the crowd just now.
"Ah, my Dao Nascent Soul and Dao crystal are about to shatter!"
"Me too. I'm afraid that even the best pills won't be able to heal this injury."
"I can't activate my Sky Origin Stage at all!"
"…"
Dozens of people only needed to probe a little before they understood the situation of their Dantian.
In an instant, cries of alarm rose from within the palace, followed by a wave of ghostly wails and wolf howls, as if they had lost their parents. The Dao Nascent Soul and even the Dao Crystal inside were covered in countless cracks, which meant that they could no longer circulate their Sky Origin Stage. Otherwise, their Dao Nascent Souls would definitely completely collapse and their souls would scatter.
Now, they finally knew what Tang Huan's so-called "good fortune" and "comprehension of life and death" meant.
"Everyone, you can leave in peace." Tang Huan said with a face full of smiles, "Oh right, leave behind all the spatial artifacts like the rings and pendants."
"Tang Huan, you are truly vicious, you actually crippled my cultivation, you might as well just kill me!" A skinny old man stared at Tang Huan with hatred, and screamed.
"Yuji, satisfy him!" Tang Huan smiled indifferently.
"Yes, Big Brother!"
She Yuji's smile was like a flower, like a fiery red stream of light, she shot out from behind Tang Huan, grabbing onto the skinny old man's neck, and a power that contained boundless heat roared out, with the power to topple mountains and overturn the seas, in the blink of an eye, the skinny old man was burnt to ashes.
"Who else is tired of living? I can fulfill their wishes at the same time." Tang Huan said slowly.
"..."
The dozens of Divine Martial Sect cultivators who had their cultivations crippled all lowered their heads in fear, not daring to make a sound.
They had cultivated bitterly for thousands of years, or even thousands of years, to reach their current cultivation level, but they suddenly fell from the sky to the ground. It was indeed a fate worse than death, but it was better to live than to die. If nothing unexpected happened, they could still live as ordinary people for tens or hundreds of years, which was better than dying right away.
What's more, what if a miracle really happened and their injuries were healed?
Finally, a Black Costume Old Lady was the first to take off a ring from her finger and hand it over to She Yuji. She stooped her body and walked out of the palace without saying a word. With the Black Costume Old Lady leading the way, more and more cultivators who had their cultivations crippled put down their spatial artifacts and silently left.
Seeing this scene, Guo Yao and the rest felt both lucky and sad.
If they had also gone to the Jade Imperial City back then, they would have ended up the same way as the others. However, even though they had temporarily escaped this calamity, they could not be happy. After all, they were all from the same sect, and no matter how bad their relationship was, they had still spent a long time together in this sect.
Furthermore, it was still unknown how Tang Huan would deal with them.
"The Divine Martial Sect is the number one sect in the 'Big Dipper Domain'. Right now, the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder are already smiling in the underworld.
The rest of the elders have already gone to comprehend life and death, but the inheritance of the Divine Martial Sect cannot be broken. Therefore, we must choose another wise successor as Sect Master. "Tang Huan smiled as she looked at the remaining ten or so Divine Martial Sect cultivators in the hall. Finally, her gaze landed on Guo Yao," In my opinion, Elder Guo Yao is suitable. "
"..."
Hearing Tang Huan's words, not only was Guo Yao stunned, the rest of the Divine Martial Sect cultivators were also dumbstruck.
After a short moment of shock, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. To actually let Guo Yao take over as the sect master of the Divine Martial Sect, it seemed like everyone's lives and cultivation could be preserved.
"Right, right, Heavenly King Tang is right, the most suitable person to take over as sect master is Elder Guo."
The rest of the people also seemed to have awoken from a dream, they squeezed out a smile on their faces, and echoed his words. Guo Yao also had an apologetic smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart. Tang Huan definitely wouldn't be so kind, he probably hadn't finished speaking yet.
Sure enough —
"Since no one has any objections, then it's settled. Next, everyone only needs to do one more thing."
