129: Wuji Peak Master

Just then, an aged and weary voice sounded within his Sea of Consciousness, coming from the depths of the Sect's Forbidden Ground: "Jitian... agree to her. As long as the green mountains remain... this is the Sect's tribulation."

This was the voice of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Old Ancestor, as well as the Sect's final reliance.

With even the Old Ancestor expressing such a stance, the last shred of struggle in Jitian's heart extinguished.

He seemed to age significantly in an instant, his upright figure slightly hunched, as he rasped: "Liu Jinfeng... stop! I... agree to you!"

A faint, indifferent arc brushed across Liu Jinfeng's lips. She lightly raised her jade hand, and the Yin-Yang Burning Heaven Diagram in the air paused its operation, but that Domain of death still loomed high above everyone's heads.

Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on a lovely female Disciple as she said indifferently: "Bring it here."

That female Disciple was none other than Lan Yuting.

Amidst countless gazes of shock, anger, and disbelief, Lan Yuting flew into the air, arrived beside Liu Jinfeng, and respectfully handed over a list that included portraits.

"This is the registry of one thousand Prodigy Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz, her fingers trembling slightly, and she kept her eyes lowered throughout, not daring to meet any familiar gazes from below.

Seeing this scene, many Disciples began to curse angrily:

"Lan Yuting, you traitor, how dare you betray the Sect!"

"Traitor, you will die a horrible death!"

"Lan Yuting, I usually treated you like a younger sister, and you actually betrayed us!" a male Disciple from the Illusory Moon Peak shouted, gritting his teeth.

For a time, curses arose everywhere, especially from those fellow Disciples who had once fought side by side and shared drinks with her, all of them glaring with eyes splitting from rage.

However, several senior Peak Masters wore complex expressions—some pained, some knowing—seemingly not entirely surprised by this.

"Silence, all of you!" Sect Master Jitian bellowed, his voice rolling like thunder, suppressing the curses of the crowd.

His eye sockets were red, and his entire body trembled slightly.

In fact, the moment Lan Yuting stepped out, he, as the Sect Master, combined with the secrets of various factions, had already guessed—Lan Yuting was likely a secret agent planted by the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace.

In the Zixiao Immortal Domain, top factions sending secret agents to infiltrate subordinate or potentially threatening Sects was a tacitly understood method.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was tucked away on Ziyang Star and had produced a figure like Venerable Ziyang, so it was perfectly normal for it to be a key focus of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace.

Everyone in the Zixiao Immortal Domain knew that the Liu Clan Immortal Family and the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace had a close relationship.

You also finally understood at this moment—

The news of your presence in the Heavenly Sword Sect was leaked to Liu Jinfeng by Lan Yuting.

She had been lurking for many years just for this list.

Moreover, in order to confirm your identity, she had deliberately spread rumors to force you to act and reveal your strength.

After all, the Immortal Domain was vast, and there were many people who looked similar.

But your age and strength—Early Golden Core Stage, Heavenly Human Realm Perfection—these characteristics were too obvious.

Liu Jinfeng also happened to use you as an excuse to threaten the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It seemed you had brought disaster upon the Heavenly Sword Sect once again.

Thinking this through, your heart was filled with guilt.

But you were still puzzled: What exactly was the Liu Clan Immortal Family plotting by sending Lan Yuting to infiltrate the Heavenly Sword Sect?

However, you did not know that Lan Yuting was not actually from the Liu Clan Immortal Family.

Her true identity was a secret agent of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace.

The Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace was one of the five top factions in the Zixiao Immortal Domain.

With the methods of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace, they could naturally easily conceal her heavenly secrets, and the Heavenly Sword Sect's Heart-Questioning Array could not detect any issues at all.

For a moment, the entire mountain gate was filled with an aura of slaughter, as if even the air had frozen.

Liu Jinfeng turned a blind eye to the anger and despair below. With an indifferent expression, she took the list and read slowly in an icy tone: "Xiao Xun'er, Nangong Xueyu, Zhang Feng, Wang Hao, Ying'er, Meaty..."

"You bad person! You are not allowed to call me by my nickname!" Meaty looked at Liu Jinfeng with a face full of resentment, her voice choked with sobs.

Liu Jinfeng's gaze just swept indifferently over Meaty and continued to read: "Qin Chen, Han Zhenzhong..."

Every name read out was like a cold death sentence, crashing heavily into everyone's hearts.

The Disciples on the list turned pale; some trembled, some closed their eyes waiting for death, and some had flames of unyielding spirit burning in their eyes.

When the last name was read, Liu Jinfeng lightly raised her jade hand. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered frantically, transforming into a thousand chains flickering with ice and fire runes, accurately enveloping the Disciples on the list like living creatures!

Hundreds of figures, unwilling to be bound, turned into streams of light and tried to escape, but under the shroud of the "Yin-Yang Burning Heaven Diagram" Domain, space had been sealed, and all struggle was futile.

The moment the chains wrapped around you, you felt a vast power forcibly surge into your Meridians, and your entire body's spiritual power felt like it had fallen into a quagmire, completely imprisoned!

Your heart sank: "These chains not only seal spiritual power, but are also devouring my vitality... I can only wait for an opportunity to escape..."

However, in the next second, a tragedy suddenly occurred—

Some people didn't even have time to scream before their bodies turned into ice sculptures on the spot, and then shattered with a "crack" sound.

Immediately after, the shattered corpse pieces ignited with pale flames and instantly burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace of their Divine Soul behind!

You also felt a frigid cold Qi spreading from the soles of your feet upward; wherever it passed, flesh and blood froze and necrotized, and the intense pain made you wish you were dead.

This feeling of wishing you were dead made you regret; if you had known, you would have committed suicide earlier.

Many Disciples also began to curse loudly—

"Liu Clan villains! You will surely face retribution!"

"Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you off!"

Everyone had originally thought that the Liu Clan would at most cripple their cultivation or Spiritual Roots; they never expected the other party to actually want to exterminate them completely, not even giving them a chance at Reincarnation!

The various Peak Masters also glared with eyes splitting from rage, their roars shaking the heavens:

"Liu Jinfeng! Are you even human!"

"What did they do wrong! Why must you annihilate their Divine Souls?!"

Peak Master Wuji watched helplessly as his two most beloved Disciples—Meaty and Nangong Xueyu—had their skin freeze inch by inch, their faces twisted in pain. His eyes were bloodshot, and his last shred of reason completely collapsed!

"Liu Jinfeng—even if I must face Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering today, I will make your Liu Clan remember that the backbone of the Heavenly Sword Sect has not yet broken!"

He roared at the sky, his Late Nascent Soul Stage spiritual power burning like a volcanic eruption. His entire person transformed into a tragic beam of fire piercing through the heavens and earth, and he charged toward the spirit boat in the air without the slightest hesitation!

At the same time, his Nascent Soul burst forth with blinding light, and the surrounding space distorted due to the violent energy—he was actually going to self-detonate his Nascent Soul to fight with his life!

"Junior Brother Wuji! Don't!" Sect Master Jitian cried out, his eyes full of heartache.

"Junior Brother Wuji..." The Peak Master of Starfall Peak clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling, his face full of struggle.
