237: Chapter 235: Coercing Mo Jie

That feeling didn’t last long; after Gu Shengge reined in his Double Pupils Divine Light, the sensation vanished.

Tantai Qingxuan took a step, ice lotuses flickered beneath her feet, and the Dao of space flowed around her. The next moment, she stood beside Gu Shengge.

“Rebellious Disciple, are you alright?”

Her emotions were calm and detached, as if she didn't care about Gu Shengge.

Only Pei Yuhan knew that from the moment she received the news until now, she hadn't dared to stop, rushing to Gu Shengge’s side.

Some people are like that; what they do far outweighs what they say. On the surface, they appear indifferent, but in reality, they do everything they can.

“I’m fine. Why are you all here?”

He glanced at Pei Yuhan, his gaze focused, “Little Pei just returned, and you all arrived so quickly. You must have rushed here immediately, right?”

Pei Yuhan quickly stepped forward, “That’s right! Sister Tantai rushed over the moment she found out; she was very worried about you.”

Jun Mengqing, who was standing nearby, didn't help him. She quickly explained herself, “Gu Shengge, I came too. I rushed over the moment I heard something happened to you.”

Gu Shengge pouted, “Alright, don’t add to the trouble. Have you resolved the matter with your Saint Lin Chen?”

Jun Mengqing shrugged helplessly, “It’s resolved. After all, Lin Chen is dead. Between a living Saintess and a dead Saint, they naturally have to make a choice. Without a doubt, they’d choose me!”

“In that case, I’m relieved.” Gu Shengge said, his gaze falling on Mo Jie, who was standing nearby.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, “Mo Jie, do you still want to escape?”

Mo Jie’s face was as black as a pot, and the remaining power in his body surged wildly, as if it wanted to break free from its cage and rush towards Gu Shengge.

However, Tantai Qingxuan’s Great Dao energy was incredibly powerful. The icy aura instantly froze his body, rendering him immobile. Amidst his continuous struggles, the icy Qi froze him into an ice sculpture, completely solidifying him.

Gu Shengge also slowly walked up to him, flicking a finger. The ice on Mo Jie’s head was shattered, revealing his head.

Mo Jie immediately cursed, “Gu Shengge! You despicable scoundrel, may you die a horrible death!”

Gu Shengge didn’t hesitate, raising his hand and delivering two hard slaps that made Mo Jie see stars. He felt dizzy, as if he was about to faint.

“You… you dare…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Shengge slapped him several more times, stunning him. His yellow teeth were knocked out, leaving him utterly disheveled.

At this point, he could no longer curse aloud, only glaring fiercely at Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge also didn't bother with idle chatter. He leaned closer to him and said coldly, “Now, tell this Lord, where are the other domains of your Nine Realms Alliance? Hand over all the coordinates to this Lord!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Jie’s eyes flickered with a cold, sinister light. He narrowed his eyes slightly, “What? If I tell you, will you let me live?”

He was no longer as arrogant as before; there was even a hint of subservience and flattery in his words.

Gu Shengge heard the plea in his words but didn’t want to make any promises, only staring at him coldly.

“You can die a quick death, otherwise, unless you self-destruct, this Lord will definitely make your life worse than death!”

Mo Jie’s face was ashen. If he dared to self-destruct, he would have dragged Gu Shengge down with him long ago. His current subservience and enduring humiliation were all for a chance to live.

But now, the other party clearly wouldn’t give him that chance. Gu Shengge’s oppression assailed him constantly.

At this moment, his eyes were chillingly cold, and he suddenly had the idea of perishing together with Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge clearly noticed the determination in his eyes and quickly said, “Wait a moment, don’t rush to self-destruct. This Dao Child can promise to let you live a little longer!”

Mo Jie’s expression darkened slightly, his eyes flickering with a faint glow, “Is that truly so?”

For a Law Corpse like him, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, living meant opportunity. Now that Gu Shengge could let him delay for a while longer, it was a great opportunity. He could completely use this extra time to find a way to seek a glimmer of hope for survival.

Of course, Gu Shengge proposing such a condition would certainly come with corresponding demands.

He looked at Gu Shengge with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, “You should state your conditions first! How can I continue to live?”

Gu Shengge smiled, “Actually, it’s simple. This Dao Child just wants you to take me to the territories of the Nine Realms Alliance. We’ll go one by one, and then you’ll live longer, wouldn’t you agree?”

Mo Jie’s face turned ashen. Gu Shengge was indeed ruthless. He not only wanted to deal with the Cultivators of the Nine Realms Alliance in the Qiongsang Domain, but he also wanted to eradicate them, going to kill the Cultivators in the Nine Realms Alliance’s headquarters!

He looked at Gu Shengge with a solemn expression, took a deep breath, and said, “Can’t you leave the Nine Realms Alliance a way out? Their reputation in the Qiongsang Domain is already ruined, and they won’t be able to pose any threat to the Qiongsang Domain for a long time in the future. Why can’t you choose to let them go?”

Gu Shengge snorted, “When they released you Law Corpses to deal with the Dayu Imperial Dynasty and Mingchuan Prefecture, did they ever consider letting the Cultivators of the Qiongsang Domain go?”

Mo Jie was instantly speechless. After all, he was the one who led people to do this. In that situation, he indeed didn't need to slaughter everyone, but in order to quickly raise his cultivation to the Mahayana level, they chose the principle of rather killing innocents than letting anyone go.

Now, he truly had no standing to persuade Gu Shengge to leave a way out for the Nine Realms Alliance’s native world.

Gu Shengge saw him still hesitating and coldly rebuked, “Mo Jie, this is your last chance. Don’t pretend you’re unwilling to betray the Nine Realms Alliance. If you were more cooperative with the Nine Realms Alliance, you wouldn’t have ended up in this defeat. Also, there’s the Realm Master Yahweh, his hatred for you is probably far greater than his hatred for me. Why are you still pretending to be a loyal member of the Nine Realms Alliance, thinking for them!”

Mo Jie fell silent, but Gu Shengge didn't want to waste any more time with him and said impatiently, “Now, this Lord gives you ten breaths of time. Make your choice immediately!”

Before Gu Shengge even started counting down, Mo Jie said, “Alright! I’ll take you there!”

Gu Shengge was very satisfied with this, but Tantai Qingxuan frowned slightly.

“Disciple, must you go? The Nine Realms Alliance has suffered heavy losses this time, and they probably won’t set foot in the Qiongsang Domain for a long time. Why not wait until your cultivation has a Breakthrough before going?”

Jun Mengqing also expressed her concern, “That’s right! Rushing over so quickly, it might be difficult to deal with those Realm Master-level figures, right?”

Gu Shengge waved his hand, “No, no. Now is the best time to deal with them. Procrastinating will only make it worse!”
