706: You Tianxiong

Facing countless angry, mocking, and murderous gazes, Abyssal Heaven Hero's expression was gloomy, yet he showed no hint of panic.

He first kicked Ye Wushang's buttocks hard; the force was so great that even this Half-step Integration Stage Vice Sect Master stumbled!

"What are you still standing there for?! Kneel down to our Fellow Daoists! Apologize!" Abyssal Heaven Hero's voice was like ice, resonating throughout the venue.

Ye Wushang's face turned blue and white, the humiliation in his heart reaching its peak!

But the situation was stronger than the man; feeling several auras in the Void Realm that made his Soul tremble, he understood that if he didn't bow his head today, he might be reduced to ashes in an instant!

Thud!

Under the gaze of tens of thousands, Ye Wushang, the Half-step Integration Stage Vice Sect Master of the Nine Nether Sect whose fierce reputation shook the Eastern Region, actually knelt down in the Void Realm!

This kneel was not only his personal humiliation but also a symbol of the entire Nine Nether Sect losing face!

"Fellow Daoists... forgive me!" Ye Wushang spoke with difficulty, his voice dry.

"That day... I was blinded by greed and listened to the slander of that fellow Tu Wanxiong, only then... did I do such a stupid thing! I implore you all to be merciful!"

He pushed all the responsibility onto Tu Wanxiong, the Hall Master of the War God Hall, who was already scared witless.

"Hmph!" Tang Jianlin of Myriad Sword Valley snorted coldly, his body surging with Sword Intent, causing the Void Realm to emit a sharp sound like it was being sliced.

"Ye Wushang, stop this act! If it weren't for your greed, how could Tu Wanxiong, a mere Hall Master, mobilize so many elites?

Enough nonsense! If the Nine Nether Sect doesn't give us a satisfactory explanation today, then prepare to be razed to the ground!"

The Myriad Sword Valley Disciples behind him shouted in unison, ten thousand streaks of Sword Qi soaring into the sky, their momentum terrifying!

A sharp glint flashed in Abyssal Heaven Hero's eyes; he knew that simply kneeling to apologize and shifting responsibility would never be enough to pass.

"Fine! You want an explanation? I will give you an explanation!"

His voice was icy, but his movements were as fast as lightning!

His left hand suddenly reached out, ignoring the distance in space, and grabbed directly at Tu Wanxiong, the Hall Master of the War God Hall, whose face was pale in the crowd below!

Tu Wanxiong couldn't even resist before he was seized by the neck by a terrifying Spiritual Qi hand and hoisted high into the sky!

"Sect Leader! Spare..." Tu Wanxiong pleaded in terror.

"I cannot spare you!" Abyssal Heaven Hero gave him no chance to speak, his right palm carrying a sinister and overbearing force as it slammed heavily into Tu Wanxiong' chest!

"Pfft—!"

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible! Tu Wanxiong spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily in front of the Nine Nether Sect's mountain gate!

His entire Void Refinement Mid-stage cultivation was instantly destroyed! His Dantian was shattered, and his Meridians were snapped! The worst part was his Primordial Spirit!

It was directly struck by Abyssal Heaven Hero's palm force, which contained the Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Power, leaving it on the verge of dissipating!

Even if he survived, he would be a complete cripple!

At the same time, Abyssal Heaven Hero brushed his right hand over Ye Wushang, forcibly stripping him of his Storage Ring!

Ye Wushang let out a muffled groan but did not dare to resist.

"These are the treasures plundered by you all that day; I return them all!" Without even looking, Abyssal Heaven Hero threw the Storage Ring filled with loot to Tang Jianlin.

Immediately after, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a massive spatial bag appeared! He turned it upside down and poured it out!

Rumble—!

A mountain of Spirit Stones poured out!

Countless Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, shimmering with a crystalline luster, surged out like a waterfall!

In an instant, they piled up into a towering mountain of Spirit Stones in front of the Nine Nether Sect's mountain gate!

Pure Spiritual Qi swept out like a tsunami, causing the surrounding space to twist slightly!

"Here are five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones! Consider it a way to calm your nerves and compensate for your losses!" Abyssal Heaven Hero's voice carried a hint of heartache, but he was exceptionally decisive!

Hiss—!

The entire scene instantly fell into a dead silence!

Everyone was stunned by Abyssal Heaven Hero's ruthless, decisive, and extremely bold methods!

Kicking the Vice Sect Master to his knees!

Crippling the Hall Master of the War God Hall with one palm!

Returning all plundered treasures!

Plus compensation of five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

Each act could be called a feat of "cutting off one's arm to survive"!

Especially those five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; the visual impact of them piled into a giant mountain made the eyelids of the leaders of those first-rate Sects twitch wildly!

Abyssal Heaven Hero didn't give the Alliance any chance to continue making trouble or use the situation as a pretext; he directly showed his "sincerity"!

This ruthlessness and decisiveness of a grand hegemon made several Body Integration old monsters watching from the shadows nod slightly.

Tang Jianlin, Li Cen, and the others looked at each other; although anger still lingered in their eyes, they had to admit that Abyssal Heaven Hero's move had indeed blocked their best reason to take action.

If they forced a war now, it might lead to even greater variables or even give the Nine Nether Sect a chance to fight for their lives.

Nine Nether Sect Leader Abyssal Heaven Hero, with thunderous methods, forcibly suppressed a Sect-extinguishing disaster for the time being!

Tang Jianlin and Li Cen's gazes met, both seeing the trace of unwillingness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Abyssal Heaven Hero's series of ruthless operations—kicking the Vice Sect Master to his knees, crippling the scapegoat, returning the loot, plus the mountain of five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones—could be described as fast, accurate, and ruthless!

It not only blocked their excuse for direct military action but also fully demonstrated the Nine Nether Sect's posture of "admitting fault and making reparations" to the extreme.

Even the auras of those several Body Integration old monsters hidden in the Void Realm showed signs of receding.

If they continued to linger, it would make these "righteous Sects" look aggressive and insatiable.

Moreover, Abyssal Heaven Hero was unfathomable; if they really pushed the Nine Nether Sect to the brink of desperation and a final counterattack,

The numerous forces present would surely pay a heavy price, and no one wanted to be the biggest sucker.

Abyssal Heaven Hero's icy voice rang out again, like a heavy hammer striking Ye Wushang's heart:

"From today on, Ye Wushang is stripped of his position as Vice Sect Master! He is to be sent to the Gloomy Cliff to contemplate his mistakes for a hundred years!"

Ye Wushang's face was deathly pale, and his body trembled slightly, but he did not dare to have any complaints. Gloomy Cliff!

That place was filled with bone-corroding Yin energy; a hundred years... it was a fate worse than death! But he knew this was already Abyssal Heaven Hero's greatest "protection" for him.

Otherwise, he would have to die here today to appease the Alliance's anger!

Li Cen took a deep breath, exchanged a look with Tang Jianlin, and slowly nodded. Since things had reached this point, they could only quit while they were ahead.

Tang Jianlin stepped forward and cupped his hands to Abyssal Heaven Hero from a distance, his voice betraying no emotion:

"Sect Leader You is truly righteous and decisive; I, Tang, am impressed! Since the Nine Nether Sect has given an explanation, we shall take our leave!"

With a wave of his hand, a massive spatial Magical Artifact appeared, instantly taking in that dazzling mountain of five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

This place was crowded with people, and it was indeed not a good place to divide the spoils.

"Sect Leader You, until we meet again," Li Cen also said faintly, his tone calm, but a sharp glint flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Today's events were by no means the end.

The Alliance Cultivators retreated like a receding tide, and the terrifying pressure enveloping the Nine Nether Sect also dissipated.

Watching the direction the Alliance was leaving, Abyssal Heaven Hero stood with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless. But deep in his heart, his killing intent was already soaring, and his heart was bleeding!

"Yin Yang Sect... Myriad Sword Valley... and those small fry who hit us while we were down! Five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones... Ye Wushang... Tu Wanxiong... Today's humiliation, I will definitely make you all pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold in the future!"

The icy oath echoed in his heart.
