Li Xinghe was dressed in green robes. He calmly gave a fist salute. "Life or death, it's up to you!"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Great bearing! Come with me, we'll have a good chat before deciding your life or death! "
Li Xinghe gave him a fist salute and followed him up the mountain.
Chu Li gave Dong Jianxin a look, indicating that they should go together.
Dong Jianxin shook his head.
He looked curiously at Pang Hui and then at Zhou Dunli, wondering how his master would deal with this Pang Hui.
He could tell that this Pang Hui had a deep friendship with his master, but he had betrayed his master by leading people to break through the formation. He was furious and wanted to see how his master would kill this Pang Hui.
Chu Li shook his head helplessly. This senior brother of his was really simple-minded.
Dong Jianxin stared at Pang Hui with bright eyes.
Pang Hui exchanged a look with Zhou Dunli and smiled bitterly. "Brother Zhou, I have a favor to ask."
"You flatter me!" Zhou Dunli said coldly.
Pang Hui sighed. "I have a grandson, Pang Shiji. He is truly a talented and outstanding person, not inferior to your disciple Chu Li."
Zhou Dunli frowned.
Pang Hui said, "But no matter how talented he is, with your Goddess Attraction Mountain, he will never be able to become an Enlightened Master."
"You betrayed me because of him?" Zhou Dunli frowned.
Pang Hui nodded slowly. "If not for this, how could I have acted against these fellows' instigation and threats?"
"... Fine, I'd like to see this brat!" Zhou Dunli snorted.
Pang Hui smiled. "I'll leave Shiji to Brother Zhou in the future. Take care of him in my stead, for the sake of our friendship!"
"No need!" Zhou Dunli waved his hand. "Go, I'll let it go this time!"
Pang Hui smiled. "I knew Brother Zhou would do that."
Zhou Dunli snorted. "For the sake of our friendship, I can forgive you this time. But next time, we won't talk about friendship!"
"There won't be a next time." Pang Hui shook his head and pointed at his heart. "I can't tolerate betraying our friendship, so I took the Five Blight before coming."
"Five Blight?" Zhou Dunli frowned. "Are you crazy?"
Pang replied, "If Brother Zhou dies, I will accompany you. If Brother Zhou lives, I will leave my grandson in your care. I will be leaving first."
Zhou Dunli took a step forward and grabbed his wrist, probing it with inner force. His expression changed slightly, "You really don't want to live anymore?"
"Yes." Pang Hui sighed softly. "I wonder if Brother Zhou will forgive me this once?"
"No." Zhou Dunli shook his head.
Pang Hui, however, revealed a childlike smile. "Brother Zhou, do you know that the happiest days of my life were when we joined forces to roam the world? At that time, we were carefree and unfettered. We killed the bad guys we saw and intervened in the injustice we saw. We were willful and heroic. How carefree!"
Zhou Dunli remained unmoved.
Pang Hui let out a sigh. "Sparring in martial arts, sparring in formations, talking about the world, thinking about the future. Who would have thought that you would become the master of Goddess Attraction Mountain and I would become an elder of Greater One Palace?"
Zhou Dunli sighed inwardly. The world was indeed unpredictable.
"When they first came to me, I was struggling. In the end, I couldn't overcome my heart and sided with my grandson." Pang Hui's face quickly turned ashen. Yellow spots appeared on the back of his hand.
These yellow spots rapidly expanded and eventually covered his entire body. Then, his skin quickly festered and emitted a foul smell. A gust of wind blew and his hair rustled down. His bald head also quickly festered.
After the skin was his flesh and blood, which quickly festered like wax melting.
Pang Hui sighed with some difficulty. "But after betraying Brother Zhou, I also gave up on the idea of staying in this world. Before I left, I consumed the Five Blight. Now it has entered my internal organs. Even the gods can't save me."
"Five Blight …" Zhou Dunli sighed. "Why did you do this? Wouldn't it be better to cut your own throat with a sword? Why suffer so much!"
The skin and flesh on Pang Hui's face had already festered, revealing white bones. His expression could not be seen, but his eyes were calm and unperturbed. There was no struggle or madness when he was in pain. He calmly faced death.
The veins on Zhou Dunli's right hand bulged. In the end, he did not make a move.
The Five Blight was named after the Five Blight of the Heavens. It was a rare poison in the world.
Enlightened Masters would almost never be poisoned because they had a keen intuition for danger. As soon as the poison approached, they could detect it. It could not be hidden, even if it was a compound poison.
Enlightened Masters could be considered immune to poison.
However, there were always exceptions. The Five Blight was a poison that Enlightened Masters could not resist. It came from the Outland.
It was condensed by the spiritual energy of the Outland and refined with the accuracy of the Outland's alchemy. Even the high-level Celestials of the Outland could not resist this poison. It was even more difficult for the Enlightened Masters of this world.
Pang Hui could no longer speak. He stared at Zhou Dunli calmly. Like wax melting, he festered bit by bit. After two hours, there was finally only a white skeleton left. Finally, a light shot into the sky. The Divine Gate slowly appeared. After it opened, he stood outside the gate and gave a fist salute before turning around and entering.
Zhou Dunli did not return the fist salute. He just watched him enter the Divine Gate calmly.
"Master …" Dong Jianxin said with some dissatisfaction. "You forgave him just like that?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Dunli asked calmly.
Dong Jianxin could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but he never cared about this. He always spoke according to his heart, no matter what the other person's expression was, even if it was his master Zhou Dunli.
"If he died like this, he could still live in the Outland and meet master. What's the difference between that and not dying?" Dong Jianxin snorted. "Isn't it too easy for him?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhou Dunli asked.
Dong Jianxin thought for a moment. "We should kill him with our own hands to vent our hatred!"
"He took the Five Blight, the pain he suffered was a hundred times more painful than being killed with a sword. Moreover, going to the Outland at this time is a difficult task." Zhou Dunli shook his head. "Jianxin, help me do one thing."
"Master, please tell me." Dong Jianxin said.
Zhou Dunli said, "Go to the Great One Palace and bring Pang Shi here."
"Ah —?" Dong Jianxin was startled and said hurriedly, "Master, you want to bring his grandson to our Goddess Attraction Mountain?"
"Yes." Zhou Dunli nodded slowly. "Why, do you have an idea?"
"Master," Dong Jianxin said, "I don't think it's appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Zhou Dunli snorted, his face darkening.
Dong Jianxin said, "He is Pang Hui's grandson after all. Pang Hui died in our hands, so he is considered an enemy. Moreover, he is a disciple of the Great One Palace. What is the point of coming to our mountain?"
"Now that the world is in chaos, staying at Goddess Attraction Mountain is safer, and cultivation is faster." Zhou Dunli said, "Since he is a genius, then give him a good environment and see how far he can grow."
"And then wait for him to take revenge on Goddess Attraction Mountain?" Dong Jianxin said, "Master, if he really is a genius like junior brother, the threat to our Goddess Attraction Mountain is not small!"
"Isn't there still your junior brother?" Zhou Dunli said.
Dong Jianxin said, "Then why bother making an enemy for junior brother? If he is really that powerful, I can't beat him. What if he kills me? "
