Chapter 485 Had Enough of Being a Slave

"You bastard, let me go!"

Zhu Xiao'e was no ordinary girl. The fact that she dared to kidnap Chu Luo showed her fiery temper.

With a fierce curse, she slapped Mu Shan across the face.

*Slap!*

The crisp sound stunned everyone present.

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

The four disciples of Tian Xingzi were also dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

"You... you dare to hit me?"

Mu Shan, the recipient of the blow, was utterly shocked.

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

But he had no defense at all because he never imagined that someone in Medicine King Valley would dare to hit him.

He was from the Immortal Hidden Realm, a disciple of a hidden sect.

His status and position were countless times higher than these common mortals!

How could this woman dare to hit him, and on his face at that? How could he tolerate this?

Mu Shan was instantly enraged, his lustful gaze turning into fury.

"You slut, how dare you hit me? I'll make your life worse than death today, immortal lord!"

*Slap!*

Mu Shan's slap sent Zhu Xiao'e spinning more than ten times in the air before she fell to the ground.

Zhu Xiao'e fainted instantly. After all, spinning so many times, even if she hadn't been hit, she would have been dazed.

*Bang—*

Just then, the dining hall door was kicked open.

Zhu Xuanqing burst in, his face a mask of fury.

Seeing his daughter lying on the ground, knocked unconscious, his anger flared, his eyes turning bloodshot.

"Xiao'e!"

Zhu Xuanqing roared and charged directly at Mu Shan.

"You beast, how dare you hit my daughter? I'll kill you!"

To prevent any accidents, everyone had been waiting outside the dining hall. Upon 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 Core cultivators simultaneously attacked Mu Shan!

However, their full-force attacks were like mere tickles to Mu Shan.

"A bunch of ignorant ants!"

Mu Shan sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Since you're looking for death, this immortal lord will grant you your wish!"

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

*Puff puff puff puff...*

The four stones pierced directly through their bodies.

Blood gushed from the bodies of the four Golden Core cultivators.

*Puff puff puff puff...*

After passing through their bodies, the four stones quickly flew back, creating another bloody hole in each of them.

What was even more terrifying was that the four stones still showed no sign of stopping.

If this continued for a few more rounds, the four Golden Core cultivators would surely die.

At this moment, Tian Xingzi, who had always been a man of few words, finally spoke.

"Mu Shan, stop."

His voice was faint but carried a weight that pressed down on everyone's hearts like a giant stone.

"Master?"

Mu Shan looked at Tian Xingzi in confusion. "These ants dare to challenge the majesty of the Heavenly Origin Sect. What's the point of keeping them alive? Why don't you let me kill them?"

"Killing them would only dirty your hands."

Tian Xingzi said indifferently, then pointed a finger, his long fingernail aimed at Chu Qingbai.

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

As soon as he spoke, a long sword formed from pure energy appeared out of thin air before Chu Qingbai!

"I lend you this sword. Kill them."

Tian Xingzi commanded Chu Qingbai without room for argument.

"Otherwise, you will all die!"

Chu Qingbai's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, 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 stall for time, waiting for Chen Xiao to emerge.

If he defied Tian Xingzi, then at this very moment, everyone would perish here.

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

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

He remained silent, but the invisible pressure was making Chu Qingbai struggle to stand steady.

With every second of hesitation, the pressure on him increased tenfold!

"Valley Master, make your move!"

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

His tone was firm. If his father could sacrifice himself for the greater plan, then he could too!

Even though he had no idea what the significance of that greater plan was.

"Valley Master, please make your move!"

The four Golden Core cultivators said in unison, their resolve unwavering.

"So be it!"

Chu Qingbai gritted his teeth and grabbed the sword.

The four Golden Core cultivators closed their eyes, awaiting death.

"You beasts, die!"

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

*Bang—*

With his strength, he was naturally sent flying before he could even reach Tian Xingzi.

"Heh heh, well done, Chu Qingbai. You have indeed betrayed the Heavenly Origin Sect."

Tian Xingzi mocked. "I never thought you, a castrated man, would have a moment of courage."

Zhu Xuanqing's expression turned grim, and he said despairingly, "Valley Master, why must you do this?"

Chu Qingbai wore a bitter smile. "Man proposes, but heaven disposes. It seems my Chu family is destined to perish!"

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

"If no one is backing you, how dare you, a eunuch, rebel?"

Tian Xingzi looked at Chu Qingbai with disdain.

"Pah!"

Chu Qingbai spat. "Kill me if you want. My Chu family has long been tired of being slaves to the Heavenly Origin Sect!"

Tian Xingzi looked genuinely surprised, shaking his head and muttering, "I always thought it was your honor to be a slave to our Heavenly Origin Sect. I never expected you to think otherwise. You ants are truly unpredictable..."

"No one wants to be a slave."

A light, dismissive voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"If one cannot live with dignity, then one would rather die with pride!"

"This is a truth that you self-important, high-and-mighty scums will never understand."

With that, Chen Xiao walked in.

"Brother Chen!"

"Chen Xiao!"

"You're finally here!"

Upon seeing Chen Xiao, everyone's hearts were instantly filled with hope.

Chen Xiao gave an awkward smile and apologized. "I'm really sorry. I was too dirty when I came out, so I took a bath and changed into new clothes. Although it took some time, luckily, I made it..."

Tian Xingzi observed Chen Xiao and said slowly, "Who are you? Is the backing the Chu family found... you?"

"I am not the Chu family's backing; I am simply their friend."

Chen Xiao shook his head and said playfully, "So, you few envoys are here specifically to die?"
