Lorien turned and fled without hesitation after speaking.

As a Saint-tier assassin, if he was determined to run, there were very few people on Kaiji Star who could stop him.

No sooner had Lorien left than four God Mountain elders arrived together.

"Big brother! Are you alright!" x4!

The four spoke in unison. Aside from the Tenth Elder who died at Ji Pingyang's hands, there were fully seven of the remaining nine elders of God Mountain present!

Seven Saint-tiers standing before one's eyes would make anyone tremble.

Looking at the scene before him, Qiao Yu's Adam's apple bobbed. This time... he'd gone too far!

"I'm fine! But someone is about to be in trouble."

The Grand Elder shook his head with a gloomy expression. Then, he turned his gaze to Qiao Yu, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

The surrounding God Guards instantly formed a circle, surrounding Qiao Yu and An Liya, who was riding on Qiao Yu's shoulders.

"Ah, hahaha." Qiao Yu gave an awkward laugh. "Grand Elder, don't be so agitated. Harmony brings wealth. I just wanted to play a little joke with you."

"Right! Have the elders eaten? Are you hungry? How about I cook some noodles for you? My noodles are delicious!"

While stalling for time, Qiao Yu frantically searched for a solution, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

But there was no way out. Facing seven Saint-tiers, fighting was out of the question, and even running was a luxury.

In the face of absolute power, schemes were useless.

Even using the Six Paths power now wouldn't work. The Six Paths power only made his presence disappear, not make him invisible.

"No need, thank you for your kindness. Keep your noodles for yourself to eat in hell."

The Grand Elder had never felt such a strong killing intent towards a junior before.

As he spoke angrily, the space around Qiao Yu instantly began to distort.

This feeling terrified Qiao Yu. It was as if his body was sealed in a mirror, and someone was about to shatter it.

As the space twisted, Qiao Yu's body twisted with it. Qiao Yu even saw his own shapely behind. This bizarre feeling horrified him.

He even saw the gates of the Yellow Springs.

The Grand Elder's control over power was extremely meticulous. All the power was focused on Qiao Yu, without affecting An Liya on Qiao Yu's shoulders in the slightest.

An Liya calmly stared at the Grand Elder, then gripped her longbow and drew the string.

However, this time, the arrow was aimed at An Liya's own brow!

"If he dies, I die."

An Liya didn't beg the Grand Elder like before. From the attitude of the Grand Elder and the others, An Liya had already seen that Lorien hadn't lied to her.

The elders of God Mountain were true demons.

At this moment, An Liya's eyes were calm and determined, like a female war god from ancient Greek mythology.

"You dare?! An Liya, you've been a good girl since you were little. Are you threatening me now?" The Grand Elder was shocked and angry, but the power in his hands faltered.

An Liya didn't answer. The arrow on the longbow instantly burst into scorching flames.

An Liya's first arrow, Crimson Flame!

At such close range, Crimson Flame would definitely blow An Liya's head off. Not even a god could save her.

She used her actions to prove her determination to live and die with Qiao Yu!

"You!!!"

The Grand Elder's beard and hair stood on end, and his chest heaved, but he really didn't dare to act rashly.

He had just received news that a big shot from the Xing family had taken a fancy to An Liya and was preparing to marry An Liya as a sign of sincerity for cooperating with their God Mountain.

If An Liya died at this juncture, how would he explain it to the Xing family?

The Grand Elder took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

The martial world wasn't just about fighting; it was about human relationships.

Having lived to his age, the Grand Elder had naturally understood this principle. He couldn't be swayed by personal emotions; benefits were the most important thing.

"Alright! I can spare his life!"

The Grand Elder's expression was gloomy. Then, he raised his hand, and Qiao Yu's body immediately flew over uncontrollably. His withered hand instantly grabbed Qiao Yu's neck.

Immediately afterward, the space around Qiao Yu's limbs suddenly twisted!

*Crack!*

A series of teeth-aching bone cracking sounds rang out. The bones in Qiao Yu's hands and legs were directly twisted and broken by the space.

Qiao Yu groaned in pain, and his back was soaked with sweat.

Then, the Grand Elder used the power of space to build a cage and threw Qiao Yu inside like a piece of junk.

After doing all this, the Grand Elder glanced at An Liya indifferently.

"An Liya, as long as you are obedient, this kid named Tian'e will live. If you make me unhappy, I will shatter the bones in his body. If you disobey me, I will kill him, understand?"

"An Liya... understands!"

An Liya bit her red lips tightly, her pretty face pale, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Let's go! Take Seventh and Eighth back to heal."

The Grand Elder's figure soared into the sky. Then, the power of space condensed into a chain, connecting to the cage that trapped Qiao Yu, like walking a dog.

Qiao Yu wanted to struggle, but the bones in his limbs had been crushed by the power of space, and he wouldn't be able to recover for a while.

"Old thing... you just wait!"

Facing the Grand Elder's deliberate humiliation, Qiao Yu secretly remembered it in his heart. Then, he closed his eyes and rested, trying to lean against the corner of the cage as much as possible to prevent his body from rolling and causing further damage to the fractures.

Qiao Yu's little actions naturally couldn't escape the Grand Elder's eyes.

But the Grand Elder was too lazy to care. In his eyes, Qiao Yu was no different from a dead man.

As long as An Liya married into the Xing family, then whether An Liya lived or died would have nothing to do with him.

When that time came, he would definitely tear this kid named Tian'e into pieces!

The Grand Elder and the others were extremely fast, and they quickly returned to God Mountain.

An Liya and Qiao Yu were also separated. An Liya was welcomed back to the Goddess Palace that belonged to her.

But Qiao Yu wasn't so lucky. Under the Grand Elder's instructions, two God Guards dragged Qiao Yu out of the cage of space power.

Then, the two escorted Qiao Yu to a steep cliff on the side of God Mountain. The cliff was bottomless, and the biting cold wind made the cliff very smooth.

This was where God Mountain punished the most heinous criminals, called the Cliff of Sinners.

Almost no one who was locked here could leave alive.

"Hehe, kid, abducting the Goddess and daring to be disrespectful to the Grand Elder, you're really something! Repent here!"

A God Guard showed a cruel smile to Qiao Yu. Then, a cyan nail about two fingers thick appeared in his hand.

He raised Qiao Yu's already broken hands and, after overlapping his palms, the nail in his hand pierced through Qiao Yu's palms, nailing both of his hands to the cliff.

The intense pain made the corners of Qiao Yu's mouth twitch.

"Oh? Didn't even scream? Pretty tough, huh!"

A fierce light flashed in the God Guard's eyes. Then, an even longer and thicker nail appeared in his hand. This time, he aimed at the back of Qiao Yu's feet!

He overlapped Qiao Yu's feet, and then the nail slammed down!

Two nails, one above and one below, fixed Qiao Yu to the Cliff of Sinners.

The biting cold wind blew past, as sharp as a scraping steel knife.

"Oh? Still not saying anything? Kid, don't you have anything to say?"

The God Guard's face was full of mockery. He hadn't seen someone so tight-lipped in a long time.

Hearing this, Qiao Yu slowly raised his head and looked at the God Guard, a reluctant smile on his lips.

"If you have to ask, I really do have a question to ask you."

"What's your mother's honorable surname?"
