324: Chapter Execution 009

Baili Ziyuan instantly saw through the strength of these people. Two of them were nearly as strong as Ba Xia, and several others were on par with Chao Feng. They must also be members of the Nine Sons.

The moment he entered, everyone's eyes turned to him. Baili Ziyuan simply nodded slightly and stood to the side.

He nodded to Dragon King and Ba Xia, the two people he interacted with more often, as a greeting, then shifted his gaze to Zhu Jianhua, the Lord of Flesh.

Upon seeing his current appearance, his pupils contracted, because Zhu Jianhua, who had been like a small mountain just moments before, was now like a deflated balloon.

His appearance actually revealed a hint of a human form, or perhaps this was his original appearance.

Sensing Baili Ziyuan's gaze, Zhu Jianhua met his eyes directly, then grinned.

"You're here?"

His voice was hoarse and muffled, but Baili Ziyuan felt as if the other person was an old friend he had known for many years. There was even a hint of care and relief in his voice.

"I'm here!"

Baili Ziyuan involuntarily replied. Zhu Jianhua seemed to nod with difficulty.

"Dragon King is a good person. He agreed to let you send me off for the last time.

Zhu Jianhua smiled in front of him, but his smile was exceptionally terrifying. However, no one present cared; they just watched him quietly.

And he didn't care either. He paused, seemingly forcing himself to speak, "Looking at you now, you must have really joined Great Xia. This might not be a bad thing for you."

"Why do you say that?"

Zhu Jianhua didn't answer, but instead looked at Dragon King.

"Can I be buried with my wife and children?"

Dragon King was silent for a moment before nodding slightly, "Yes, and I will place you in the Martyrs' Cemetery, because Great Xia Cultivators will have a better foundation because of you."

"Heh heh, no need."

Zhu Jianhua sneered, his gaze returning to Baili Ziyuan, "Come on, dying by your hand is also a release for me."

Baili Ziyuan's body trembled upon hearing this. He looked at Dragon Xuanyuan, who nodded slightly without speaking.

Seeing this, Baili Ziyuan took out the death scythe without hesitation and slowly walked to Zhu Jianhua's side, "If there is an afterlife, perhaps we can become very good friends. I also hope you can go down and reunite with your wife and children!"

The smile on Zhu Jianhua's face froze, but it quickly returned to normal, revealing a solemn expression, "I will, I definitely will!"

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. Baili Ziyuan raised his hand, and the death scythe swung out directly, cutting off Zhu Jianhua's head.

"Tha...nk you..."

A barely perceptible voice slowly entered Baili Ziyuan's mind. Baili Ziyuan merely put away the death scythe, took a deep look at Zhu Jianhua's corpse, and then left.

After he left, Dragon Xuanyuan looked at Zhu Jianhua's corpse and released his divine sense. After a long time, he sighed deeply.

"Chao Feng, fulfill his last wish."

"Yes, Dragon King!"

"Since you few have come out of seclusion, go to the Eight Districts first and take a look. Recently, the Nine Lords' seclusion has reached a critical point, and those demon beasts might make a move. Be more careful."

"Understood!"

A few days later, in an ordinary cemetery in the White Tiger District, Chao Feng buried Zhu Jianhua's coffin in a corner.

According to custom, he should have been cremated, but Zhu Jianhua's last wish was to preserve his body, and Dragon King had agreed, so Chao Feng naturally wouldn't go against it.

However, since this was a cemetery, the coffin could only be placed in a corner.

"Rustle..."

The originally clear sky suddenly began to drizzle without any warning. The fine raindrops fell scattered, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

Chao Feng stood in the rain, silently completing the burial of Zhu Jianhua's coffin.

After finishing, she took out a bouquet of fresh, vibrant flowers from her storage ring and gently placed them in front of the tombstone, then bowed deeply.

Having done all this, Chao Feng turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the rain curtain.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sky gradually grew dark.

The rain not only showed no sign of stopping but intensified, with large raindrops heavily hitting the ground, splashing up sheets of water.

Occasionally, dazzling lightning bolts would tear through the gloomy sky, instantly illuminating the entire world as bright as day.

Just as a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, illuminating this silent cemetery.

Suddenly, as a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, the electric light illuminated the cemetery for an instant, and eight mysterious figures quietly appeared before Zhu Jianhua's tomb at some unknown time.

They were dressed in black robes, like ghosts in the night, standing there silently, gazing motionlessly at the stone tablet in front of them.

Looking closely, these eight people were precisely the terrifying Blood Disciple Eight Seats.

"Master, we are here!" The leader said softly.

However, before his words had fully fallen, a strange purple light suddenly flickered in his eyes, and his entire demeanor changed drastically in an instant.

The original steady and restrained aura was completely gone, replaced by a sharp, cold, and oppressive powerful presence.

"My true body, has finally come out!"

He muttered to himself, his voice revealing a hint of unconcealed excitement and anticipation.

Then, the purple eyes dimmed, and silence returned to the surroundings.

Suddenly, the dead silence of the night was broken by a slight tearing sound. This sound seemed to come from the netherworld, making one's hair stand on end.

Several people looked in the direction of the sound, but were astonished to find that the sound was actually coming from the Chief's stomach!

The Chief's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his body trembled uncontrollably, causing him to directly kneel on the cold, hard ground.

He bit his lip tightly, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and the muscles on his face were distorted from the extreme pain.

But even so, he still endured the severe pain, refusing to utter a single groan or cry.

Just then, accompanied by another piercing tearing sound, a black shadow shot out from the Chief's stomach like lightning!

The speed was so fast that the people present had no time to react at all. The black shadow drilled into Zhu Jianhua's grave in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Almost simultaneously, a chilling chewing sound came from within the grave. This sound was particularly clear and abrupt in the dead silent night.

Along with the chewing sound, an extremely terrifying and oppressive aura surged out like a tide, rapidly spreading outwards.

The people who felt this terrifying aura were instantly overjoyed. They did not dare to hesitate at all and fully circulated the power of their blood and qi within their bodies.

In an instant, columns of blood and qi shot up into the sky. These blood columns intertwined and merged with each other, finally forming a huge blood and qi shield.

It completely enveloped the entire area tightly, to prevent this terrifying aura from leaking out.
