"You bastard, let me go!"

Zhu Xiao'e wasn't an ordinary girl. Her audacity to kidnap Chu Luo was enough to show how fierce she was.

She cursed loudly, then slapped Mu Shan's face.

Smack!

The crisp sound stunned everyone present.

Chu Qingbai stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart sinking. It was over, all over!

Tian Xingzi and his four disciples were also dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

"You… you dare to hit me?"

Mu Shan, who had been struck, was utterly shocked.

In truth, with his strength, he wouldn't have been hit if he had been even slightly prepared.

But he had no defense whatsoever, because he never imagined that anyone would dare to hit him in Medicine King Valley.

He came from the Immortal Hidden Realm, a disciple of a secluded sect.

His status was many times higher than these ordinary mortals!

This woman actually dared to hit him, and on the face no less. How could he tolerate it?

Mu Shan was instantly enraged, the lust in his eyes turning to fury.

"You stinking bitch, you actually dare to hit me. I, your Immortal Lord, will make you wish you were dead!"

Smack!

This slap from Mu Shan sent Zhu Xiao'e spinning in the air a dozen times before she fell to the ground.

Zhu Xiao'e passed out... after all, after spinning so many times, she would have been dizzy even if she hadn't been hit.

Bang—

Just then, the door of the dining hall was kicked open.

Zhu Xuanqing stormed in, seething with anger.

Seeing his daughter beaten unconscious on the ground, he was enraged, his eyes bloodshot.

"Xiao'e!"

Zhu Xuanqing shouted and charged straight at Mu Shan.

"You beast, you actually dare to hit my daughter, I'll fucking kill you!"

To prevent any mishaps, everyone had been guarding outside the dining hall. Hearing the commotion inside, they all rushed in.

Chu Luo rushed to Zhu Xiao'e's side, picked her up, and shook her vigorously. "Xiao'e, Xiao'e, are you alright? Xiao'e, wake up!"

On the other side, the four Golden Cores attacked Mu Shan simultaneously!

However, their full-strength attacks were like tickling him.

"A bunch of ignorant ants!"

Mu Shan sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"Since you seek death, then I, your Immortal Lord, shall grant it to you!"

Mu Shan flicked his fingers, and four streams of energy resembling Go pieces shot towards the four men.

Puff, puff, puff, puff…

The four Go pieces directly pierced through their bodies.

Blood gushed from the bodies of the four Golden Cores.

Puff, puff, puff, puff…

After piercing through their bodies, the four Go pieces quickly flew back, leaving another bloody hole in each of them.

And the most terrifying thing was that the four Go pieces still showed no sign of stopping.

If they flew back and forth a few more times like this, the four Golden Cores would surely die.

Just then, Tian Xingzi, who was usually sparing with words, actually spoke.

"Mu Shan, stop."

His voice was faint, but it was as heavy as a boulder pressing down on everyone's hearts.

"Master?"

Mu Shan looked at Tian Xingzi in confusion. "These ants dared to provoke the majesty of the Tianyuan Sect, what's the point of keeping them alive? Why won't you let me kill them?"

"Killing them will only dirty your hands."

Tian Xingzi said calmly, then pointed his long fingernail at Chu Qingbai.

"You are the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, you kill them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword made of pure energy appeared out of thin air in front of Chu Qingbai!

"I lend you my sword, kill them."

Tian Xingzi ordered Chu Qingbai in an unquestionable tone.

"Otherwise, you will all die!"

Chu Qingbai's eyelids twitched wildly, his hands trembling.

He hesitated, unsure whether to pick up the sword.

If he picked up the sword now and killed Zhu Xuanqing and the others, he could still buy some time, waiting for Chen Xiao to come out.

If he disobeyed Tian Xingzi, then at this moment, everyone would die here.

But how could he bring himself to kill the four Golden Cores?

Tian Xingzi stared at Chu Qingbai, a playful smile on his face.

He didn't speak, but the invisible pressure was making Chu Qingbai unsteady on his feet.

For every second he hesitated, the pressure on his body would increase tenfold!

"Valley Master, do it!"

Zhu Xuanqing suddenly said, "Give us four brothers a quick death."

His tone was firm. Since his father could die for the greater good, so could he!

Although he didn't know what that greater good was.

"Valley Master, please do it!"

The four Golden Cores said in unison, resolutely.

"Very well!"

Chu Qingbai gritted his teeth and grabbed the sword.

The four Golden Cores closed their eyes, awaiting death.

"You beasts, go to hell!"

Chu Qingbai, holding the sword, charged towards Tian Xingzi.

Bang—

With his strength, he was naturally knocked away before he could even reach Tian Xingzi.

"Hehe, good, Chu Qingbai, so you have indeed betrayed the Tianyuan Sect."

Tian Xingzi sneered, "I didn't expect that even a eunuch like you would have a moment of valor."

Zhu Xuanqing looked sad and said in despair, "Valley Master, why did you do that?"

Chu Qingbai smiled wryly, "Man proposes, Heaven disposes. It seems that my Chu family is destined to be destroyed!"

Tian Xingzi sized up Chu Qingbai, "I'll give you a chance. Tell me why you dared to betray the Tianyuan Sect? Who is supporting you?"

"If no one is supporting you, would a castrated man like you dare to rebel?"

Tian Xingzi looked at Chu Qingbai with disdain.

"Bah!"

Chu Qingbai spat, "Kill me if you want. My Chu family, from top to bottom, has had enough of being slaves of the Tianyuan Sect!"

Tian Xingzi looked surprised and shook his head, muttering, "I always thought that being a slave of our Tianyuan Sect was your honor. I didn't expect you to think otherwise. You ants are really unpredictable…"

"No one wants to be a slave."

A nonchalant voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"If you can't live with dignity, then you'd rather die with pride!"

"You self-righteous, superior scum will never understand this."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao walked in.

"Brother Chen!"

"Chen Xiao!"

"You've finally come!"

As soon as they saw Chen Xiao, everyone's hope was reignited.

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I was too dirty after I came out, so I took a shower and changed into a new set of clothes. Although it took some time, it's okay, I made it…"

Tian Xingzi sized up Chen Xiao and said quietly, "Who are you? The backer that the Chu family found, wouldn't be you, would it?"

"I'm not the Chu family's backer, I'm just their friend."

Chen Xiao shook his head and joked, "So, are you few Envoys here specifically to die?"
