#633 - Chapter 633: The Sect Master’s Invitation

Another world. The yin winds howled, dark clouds hung low, and lightning flashed.

Mo Wuwei knelt trembling in the main hall, a stark contrast to his demeanor before the mission.

"Do you know why you failed to accomplish your task this time?" Emperor Mo sat upon the pinnacle of the pagoda within the hall, radiating supreme majesty, with water dragons and fire dragons spiraling around him.

"I know. This subordinate was careless and underestimated the enemy, falling into the Xianjie's trap. I beg for punishment!" Mo Wuwei lowered his head, his legs shaking.

"Humph, considering your proactive attitude in admitting your mistake, I shall spare you from death!"

Emperor Mo snorted coldly, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Really?" Mo Wuwei raised his head in surprise and delight.

"However, while the death penalty can be waived, the living penalty cannot be avoided. I sentence you to two hundred cuts of the dismemberment punishment, to be carried out immediately, as a warning to all!" Emperor Mo said calmly.

Mo Wuwei was initially stunned, but by the time he reacted, he was already being held by the arms by the left and right guards.

Within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a bloody stench permeated the hall.

Mo Wuwei's screams echoed incessantly, causing the faces of everyone in the hall to turn pale.

Soon, Mo Wuwei, covered in blood and unrecognizable, was thrown before the crowd.

Although everyone was somewhat prepared, they were still shocked at the sight of Mo Wuwei.

At that moment, they realized: the Emperor is, after all, the Emperor. As long as they are not the Emperor, they are always in danger of being slaughtered.

"This subordinate thanks the Emperor for his grace."

Despite being covered in blood and half-dead, Mo Wuwei still had to struggle to kneel and thank Emperor Mo.

"Glug..."

Emperor Mo tossed down a jade white bottle and said indifferently, "This is the White Bone Rebirth Powder. Apply it, for I have something to say."

Mo Wuwei was stunned when he saw the White Bone Rebirth Powder, but he had no choice.

He had to apply the White Bone Rebirth Powder all over his body.

Soon, the wounds on Mo Wuwei's body, which were covered in White Bone Rebirth Powder, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the wounds on Mo Wuwei's body had completely healed, leaving no trace of injury.

But Mo Wuwei smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the healing of these wounds came at the cost of burning his lifespan.

"Go again, deliver the message, and if you fail this time..." Emperor Mo narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Mo Wuwei met Emperor Mo's cold and merciless gaze and knew the consequences if he failed this time.

"Yes, this subordinate will do his best." Mo Wuwei kowtowed and turned to leave.

......

Star River Sect. The dance and music festival ended, and everyone returned to their original places.

Ye Kong yawned, walking back with his hands behind his back, feeling somewhat disgusted.

He thought there would be some surprise finale, but there was nothing at all. The Sect Leader is just idle every day.

"Nephew Ye Kong, wait a moment."

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Kong looked at Luo Yangtian and said, "Speak, what is it?"

Luo Yangtian was stunned by Ye Kong's words, and after a long while, he said, "Nephew Ye Kong, I actually don't like men. You saw it today too; last time was just a misunderstanding."

"I know, that's normal." Ye Kong was a little speechless. He didn't take it to heart, and didn't know why the Sect Leader was explaining this.

Seeing that Ye Kong didn't take it to heart, Luo Yangtian was slightly relieved.

Then he asked, "Do you know who the person who just died was?"

Luo Yangtian had previously quelled the targeting from the major continents of the Xianjie, and had Zhu Neng find the Hall Master of the Criminal Hall to dissect the corpse to find out who those who died before were.

Although the Grand Elder of Dongjin Continent did not pursue the matter in the end, people died in the Star River Sect.

They still had to investigate.

If it was targeting their Star River Sect, they had to seize the time to take defensive measures.

If it was not targeting their Star River Sect, they had to investigate the situation clearly to prevent the same incident from happening again.

"Just died, who?"

Ye Kong carefully recalled that he had just beaten several people to death with one hand, and didn't know which one the Sect Leader was talking about.

Seeing that there was no one around, Luo Yangtian lowered his voice and said, "The person who just died seems to be someone from another world."

Ye Kong said without showing any emotion, "How so?"

Luo Yangtian carefully recalled the scene of the dissection at that time and said, "The blood that flowed out was blue."

Hearing this, Ye Kong became a little cautious.

When he killed those people before, the blood that flowed out of them was silver or green, but not blue.

This situation either meant that the person he and Luo Yangtian were talking about were not the same person at all.

Or it meant that he had overlooked some points about the people from another world and had not noticed them.

Ye Kong thought for a long time and said cautiously, "Sect Leader, what did the corpse you mentioned look like?"

Seeing that Ye Kong finally became serious, Luo Yangtian immediately felt that his trip was worthwhile.

"The corpse was a mass of bloody flesh, and you couldn't see the facial features clearly. In short, it was very miserable."

Hearing Luo Yangtian's description, Ye Kong immediately understood.

They were indeed talking about the same person, but the people from another world must have changed for some reason after death.

Seeing Ye Kong frowning and not speaking, Luo Yangtian said again.

"Nephew Ye Kong, I actually have a suggestion this time that I hope you can adopt."

Ye Kong was stunned when he heard this and said, "Aren't you the Sect Leader? Why are you asking me to adopt it?"

Luo Yangtian smiled and said, "Let me finish speaking."

Ye Kong nodded and said, "Okay. You say it, I'm listening."

Luo Yangtian then said, "The situation between the cultivation world and the other world is unclear, and they are all watching. But this war will definitely break out."

"I just don't know who will strike first. Therefore, I want you to move to the Star River Hall and live with me in the future."

"This way, we can take care of each other, and we can also chat to relieve boredom."

Luo Yangtian looked at Ye Kong while speaking, fearing that his proposal would hurt Ye Kong's self-esteem.

Alas, it was too difficult for him.

If Ye Kong had a little bit of talent for cultivation, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Stop, stop, I think I should still live on Xiaoyao Peak so that I can fish every day."

Ye Kong turned black when he heard Luo Yangtian going around in circles, but that was his intention.

Did he look so weak? Thinking wildly all day long.

"Okay, then remember to tell me if you are in any danger." Luo Yangtian said with his hands behind his back, very worried.

Just as Ye Kong was about to say something, Ji Cunxi, who had just been selected, ran over and said, "Sect Leader, I want to go back with you!"

Luo Yangtian was interrupted and said angrily, "Didn't I say that you should study with Peak Master Liu for a period of time first? Why are you running around?"

Ye Kong took the opportunity to slip away quickly.
