Chapter 124: Chapter 124: A Public Execution of Romance

After crippling Xuanqi’s four limbs, Yi Xiaoyao didn’t kill him immediately. Instead, he tied a vine around the man’s neck.

"Little Junior Brother, what are you doing?" Luo Yi asked, a little curious.

Yi Xiaoyao gave a faint smile and glanced at Xuanqi, who looked like a dead dog. "I said I wouldn’t let him die easily. Besides, I have other plans."

Afterward, the group meditated for a while to recover, then resumed their search for the various Spiritual Items scattered throughout this space in the Great Demon Ancient Tomb.

Throughout the entire process, Yi Xiaoyao dragged the bloody Xuanqi behind him, scaring the wits out of any disciples from other sects they encountered.

Regardless of whether they were from a Righteous Sect or an Evil Sect, anyone who saw Yi Xiaoyao would bow with an apologetic smile and offer up the Spiritual Items they had found. No one dared to cause the slightest trouble.

After all, no one had a death wish, and nobody wanted to suffer the same fate as the man being dragged by Yi Xiaoyao.

In this space, Yi Xiaoyao was the ultimate Demon King, a name that struck fear into everyone’s hearts.

Yi Xiaoyao actually found this feeling of being feared quite agreeable. ’At least it saves us a lot of trouble,’ he thought.

An unknown amount of time passed before a Guangmen, reaching high into the sky, suddenly appeared overhead. Everyone who had entered this space looked up at it.

"The gate to the outside world is open! It’s time to go back!"

"Thank goodness, we can finally get out! We don’t have to be on eggshells anymore, hiding from that terrifying Yi Xiaoyao!"

Everyone stared at the Guangmen with tears in their eyes, feeling a heartfelt sense of liberation. Being in the same space as Yi Xiaoyao during this time had been the greatest torment, and now, they were finally free.

Everyone rushed toward the Guangmen as fast as they could.

"It’s time to leave. Let’s go, too," Yi Xiaoyao said to the others.

They had all made good gains during this time, but Han Xiao’s injuries required proper treatment outside. So, the group also hurried toward the Guangmen.

「Outside.」

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of everyone from the various sects were complicated, all because of one person: Yi Xiaoyao.

The joy on the Black Robe Hall Master’s face was about to spill over. He was still savoring the pleasant surprise from when he watched the light dots representing the Cloud Transformation Sect disciples disappear one by one around Yi Xiaoyao’s.

As for Shangguan Jingyun, his previous smugness had been replaced by a grim expression. Of the four disciples his Cloud Transformation Sect had sent in, three were killed, and one had apparently been captured by Yi Xiaoyao. How could he possibly be happy?

The members of the other sects, however, were all extremely curious as to how Yi Xiaoyao had come back from the dead and managed to kill the Cloud Transformation Sect’s Golden Core Realm disciple.

Soon, disciples began to walk out of the Guangmen on the altar, looking as if they had been reborn.

As soon as these disciples emerged, they immediately returned to their respective sect elders and began reporting on their experiences.

Almost all of their reports concerned Yi Xiaoyao, and they recounted the events in vivid detail.

The sect elders’ expressions changed again and again as they listened. They gasped in shock and disbelief, especially after hearing how Yi Xiaoyao had annihilated Ouyang Bing in a single move.

Just then, several figures emerged from the Guangmen, drawing everyone’s gaze. It was Yi Xiaoyao and his group.

The Black Robe Hall Master smiled and walked forward to greet them. Then his expression shifted slightly as his gaze fell upon Xuanqi, who was being dragged by Yi Xiaoyao.

"Yi Xiaoyao, what is this?" He naturally knew this was a disciple of the Cloud Transformation Sect, but he didn’t understand what Yi Xiaoyao was planning.

Shangguan Jingyun, on the other hand, flew into a rage. A disciple of his Transformation Sect had actually been tortured into such a state by Yi Xiaoyao!

"Yi Xiaoyao! How dare you!" Shangguan Jingyun roared.

Yi Xiaoyao ignored Shangguan Jingyun and smiled at the Black Robe Hall Master. "This dog from the Cloud Transformation Sect bit Senior Brother Han Xiao," he replied. "So I’m going to put this dog down in front of its master. What do you think, Hall Master?"

The Black Robe Hall Master had also seen Han Xiao’s severed arm. He knew Han Xiao had excellent talent and was a rare Body Refiner. For a Body Refiner, losing an arm was a tremendous price to pay.

A spark of anger ignited in the Black Robe’s eyes. At the same time, he understood what Yi Xiaoyao wanted to do. "Yi Xiaoyao," he said, "I’m here. Do what you need to do."

Those were the exact words Yi Xiaoyao wanted to hear from the Hall Master. He then turned to Shangguan Jingyun with a cold smirk.

"Old Shangguan, I will kill anyone who tries to kill me! Today it was him. It won’t be long before it’s you! One day, I will slaughter all of you Cloud Transformation dogs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Xiaoyao stomped his foot down. Xuanqi’s head instantly exploded in a splatter of red and white, his Life Soul departing this world.

This scene made the corners of the other sect members’ mouths twitch. This Yi Xiaoyao was far too audacious. The Cloud Transformation Sect was the number one Major Sect, after all.

Shangguan Jingyun’s old face turned purple with rage. Yi Xiaoyao had killed a Cloud Transformation Sect disciple right in front of him—and in front of so many other sects. How could he show his face after this?

If he did nothing, what would become of the Cloud Transformation Sect’s prestige?

"You little bastard! I won’t let you live to see tomorrow!"

The next moment, Shangguan Jingyun’s eyes bulged with fury as he transformed into a golden streak of light and shot toward Yi Xiaoyao.

At the same time, the Black Robe Hall Master let out a cold snort and transformed into a purple streak of light to intercept him.

The two of them slammed into each other with a thunderous BOOM, releasing an astonishing shockwave.

"Shangguan Jingyun, as long as I’m here, you can forget about killing a disciple of my Seven Kills Star Hall! You’re dreaming!"

They exchanged several blows with no clear winner and were both sent flying backward.

The Black Robe Hall Master stood before Yi Xiaoyao, protecting him like a great mountain. He had just told Yi Xiaoyao not to worry. With him present, Shangguan Jingyun naturally couldn’t do anything to Yi Xiaoyao.

Shangguan Jingyun trembled with rage, but there was nothing he could do.

"Fine! Very fine!" He forcefully suppressed the towering rage in his heart and said through gritted teeth, "Yi Xiaoyao, you had better pray you don’t fall into my hands!"

With that, Shangguan Jingyun stomped his foot heavily, soared into the air as a streak of golden light, and departed in a fury.

The members of the surrounding sects all had strange expressions. When they had first learned that the Cloud Transformation Sect broke the rules by sending in a Golden Core Realm disciple, they all thought the sect would surely be the final winner.

But in the end, in a twist no one expected, all four disciples sent by the Cloud Transformation Sect had died at Yi Xiaoyao’s hands.

At the same time, everyone also noticed that when Yi Xiaoyao had arrived, he was only at the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment. Now, he was already at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. Such a progression speed was simply astounding.

All these signs gave rise to a single thought in the minds of the people from the Major Sects.

’If a monstrous talent like him is killed by the Cloud Transformation Sect, so be it. But if he’s allowed to grow, he will surely become terrifying beyond belief!’

Thinking this, the elders of the various sects all warned their disciples, "From now on, it’s best you do not provoke this person."
