134: Who is in favor and who is against?

Chi Yu opened his eyes, a smile on his lips as he looked at Luo Yu. "Senior Brother Luo, the Dragon Capturing Net has closed. No matter how capable Zhou Longsheng is, he won't be able to escape!"

"Hahahaha... Good, thank you for your hard work, Junior Brothers."

Luo Yu was overjoyed and nodded to Chi Yu and the other two in appreciation, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over Xu Sanyan. He couldn't help but compare them; they were both at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so why was the gap so large?

If Xu Sanyan continued to perform like this, the position of supporter would likely not be his.

Xu Sanyan roared and lunged at the Gold-Devouring Beast, determined to tear it to shreds.

Luo Yu no longer looked at him, instead glancing at the bewildered crowd. The Cultivators who had originally belonged to Zhou Longsheng's faction felt somewhat uneasy, worried that Luo Yu would settle scores later.

However, Luo Yu also knew in his heart that if he wanted to seize the position of Saint, he would need the help of these people, so he spoke to reassure them,

"Junior Brothers, you don't need to worry. We are all from the same sect. This is merely the grudge between Zhou Longsheng and me."

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, cupping their hands and saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Luo."

"Senior Brother Luo is righteous!"

"We will certainly sacrifice everything for Senior Brother Luo..."

Luo Yu slowly walked towards the deep pit created by Zhou Longsheng, looking at the unconscious Zhou Longsheng with a grin. "Heh heh, Zhou Longsheng, did you ever expect this day?"

The enmity between the two was deep and could no longer be resolved. As of today, it was finally going to be completely settled.

"Senior Brother Luo, be careful!" someone behind him shouted anxiously.

Luo Yu suddenly turned his head, only to see Xu Sanyan, who had been entangled with the Gold-Devouring Beast, appear behind him at some unknown point. He immediately became furious. "Xu Sanyan, what are you doing?!"

"Taking your life!" Xu Sanyan's face twisted into a ferocious expression, his four arms bulging with muscle as he heavily struck Luo Yu's head.

Luo Yu roared, "You're courting death!"

He never expected that Xu Sanyan would actually ambush him?

What was he after?

Now that the overall situation was decided, even if Xu Sanyan was Zhou Longsheng's person, he shouldn't have turned against him at this time, unless he was crazy.

But Luo Yu had no time to think carefully; the fist was already in front of him. In his panic, he could only raise his hand to block.

"Ah!"

Luo Yu suddenly let out a tragic cry, feeling as if ten thousand needles were piercing his brain. The incomparable intense pain made his Divine Soul feel like it was tearing apart. His originally raised arm instinctively clutched his head, and his legs gave way, collapsing to the ground.

A sinister smile hung on Xu Sanyan's lips. The reason Luo Yu was in such a state was precisely due to the Lu Family Refining Spirit Strength.

This technique was truly an unrivaled secret art for sneak attacks, making it impossible to guard against.

Chi Yu shouted anxiously, "Junior Brother Xu, what are you doing?!"

If Luo Yu died, who would contend for the position of Saint?

If no one contended for the position of Saint, wouldn't the Chixin Lineage be completely annihilated?

Junior Brother Xu ignored Chi Yu, grabbing Luo Yu's shoulders with his two arms, and with his other two arms, he yanked Luo Yu's single horn, pulling with force. A crisp 'crack' sound was heard, and the single horn snapped off.

"Ah!!!"

Luo Yu's scream was even louder than before. The breaking of his single horn caused him fatal damage.

Chi Yu anxiously directed the bewildered crowd nearby, "Quick, go save Senior Brother Luo! If Senior Brother Luo dies, we're completely finished!"

The Chixin Lineage only had Luo Yu and Zhou Longsheng, two Foundation Establishment Completion Cultivators, on the surface. Zhou Longsheng was already severely injured, his life unknown, and if Luo Yu also died, then who would deal with the other Foundation Establishment Completion competitors?

The crowd finally awoke upon hearing this. Although they didn't understand why Xu Sanyan suddenly launched a killing blow, they absolutely could not let him succeed.

Xu Sanyan clutched Luo Yu's neck, his dark eyes emotionlessly sweeping over the crowd. Everyone subconsciously stopped their steps. Only the Gold-Devouring Beast nearby charged madly towards him.

Xu Sanyan sneered, pushing back against the Gold-Devouring Beast's head. His arm from his ribs was like a sharp long blade, directly piercing through the Gold-Devouring Beast's neck.

"Oww!"

The Gold-Devouring Beast struggled wildly, but it was in vain. Xu Sanyan's hand, clamping its head, was like a great mountain, pressing it down so it couldn't move.

The crowd stared at this scene dumbfounded, their eyes filled with deep disbelief.

To resist a Demonic Beast with one's Physical Body?

Was this still a human?

It was well known that Demonic Beasts were strongest in their Physical Body, while Cultivators were strongest at using techniques. Yet today, they actually saw someone who could wrestle with a Demonic Beast, and even win!

Luo Yu had recovered somewhat at this moment, but the breaking of his single horn had caused him irreversible damage. He could only futilely try to pry open Xu Sanyan's hand, attempting to struggle.

Xu Sanyan no longer concealed himself, suddenly unleashing his full Aura, and the Aura of Foundation Establishment Perfection swept across the entire scene.

Chi Yu's bewildered eyes suddenly widened, and he mumbled, "Foundation... Perfection?"

He never expected that Junior Brother Xu, who had always followed him around, calling him Senior Brother Chi, was actually at Foundation Establishment Perfection?

Xu Sanyan pierced with force, and streams of fresh blood flowed from the Gold-Devouring Beast's neck, soaking his entire body along his arm. As the blood flowed, it made him appear like a demonic lord from the human world.

Xu Sanyan flung the Demonic Beast away, turned to look at Luo Yu, and spoke in a deep voice, "From now on, you no longer need to follow these two useless individuals. The position of Saint is mine for the taking!"

After speaking, his hand slowly applied pressure. Luo Yu's face turned completely red, and he made gurgling sounds.

"Crack—"

His neck bone couldn't withstand it, and the sound of it breaking was very clear, but to the crowd's ears, it was like rolling thunder, extremely harsh.

Luo Yu's arms unconsciously drooped. Before his death, he felt deeply unwilling. For this position of Saint, he had exhausted his family's wealth and prepared many methods, including the Stone General, but he couldn't use any of them.

Xu Sanyan twisted Luo Yu's head off and threw it at the crowd's feet. "Who agrees, who objects?"

The crowd stared blankly at Xu Sanyan. After a moment, Chi Yu was the first to bow and speak, "Greetings, Senior Brother Xu."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu..."

The crowd awoke as if from a dream, cupping their hands and bowing in salute.

Everyone was from the Demonic Sect, with no loyalty to speak of. Furthermore, Luo Yu was already dead, and Zhou Longsheng would certainly not escape death. In any case, only Xu Sanyan remained as an option.

As for defecting to other branches, whether they would even accept them was debatable, not to mention the five supporter positions—they wouldn't even be considered.

"Hahahaha... Good!"

Xu Sanyan threw his head back and laughed, then turned and leaped into the deep pit. Looking at the unconscious Zhou Longsheng, he stomped on his head, crushing it. From then on, the Chixin Lineage had only Xu Sanyan as a Foundation Establishment Completion Cultivator.

Then he leaped out, appearing before the crowd, and returned to his human form. Everyone also shed their Dao bodies.

Xu Sanyan opened his mouth and took out his Storage Pouch. Earlier, when he manifested his Dao body, he had put his Storage Pouch in his mouth to prevent it from getting lost.

He took out a change of clothes from the Storage Pouch, then picked up Luo Yu's and Zhou Longsheng's Storage Pouches, casually tucking them away.

Then he waved his hand, "Gather the belongings of our fallen brothers. Let's divide them."

Since the people were dead, their things certainly couldn't be wasted.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu."

The Demonic Seed in Chi Yu's heart constantly influenced him, making him feel very close to Xu Sanyan. Occasionally, a thought flashed through his mind: "Following Senior Brother Xu seems better than following Senior Brother Luo..."
