270: Chapter 274 Understanding Cause and Effect

Boom.

When the longsword in Lu Chen's hand collided with the short blade...

The Immortal Treasure that was previously indestructible...

Suddenly became as fragile as a shelled egg.

It instantly turned into powder.

The main body in the Tianming Realm immediately boiled with rage.

It hissed and screamed.

But it could do nothing.

It could not go there.

If it took even a single step...

It would die immediately.

It would never forget how special that Lower Realm was.

How truly hateful.

But there was no other way.

After destroying the short blade,

Lu Chen wrapped Hua Daorong with Mental Energy.

This time, there were no obstacles.

Then he placed his hand on Hua Daorong's forehead.

All the memories in its mind flashed before Lu Chen's eyes.

Lu Chen saw all the crimes this Ghostly Entity had committed so far.

Their evils were atrocious.

Too numerous to record.

Lu Chen couldn't help but boil with anger.

He didn't want to kill it immediately.

That would be too easy for it.

So he took its two Ghost Servants,

And wrapped them in Mental Energy.

Subsequently,

Utilizing the Law of Creation, Light Attribute Law, and Fire Attribute Law,

He condensed a sun the size of a town.

The temperature of this sun was even more than ten times higher than the actual sun of the star system where Blue Star was located.

Then he placed them inside the sun,

And put an energy source inside.

Whenever they were on the verge of death,

They would recover immediately.

Moreover,

He destroyed all of their power systems,

Making them just like ordinary people.

He even made their senses more sensitive,

Letting them endure the pain of an endless purgatory,

And he deprived them of their sight, taste, hearing, and the ability to speak.

All redundant perceptions were taken away,

Leaving only absolute pain.

Then he placed the sun in a corner of his Spiritual Vein Space.

From today onwards,

Such people would enter the interior of the sun to receive eternal torture.

The Ghostly Entity and its two ghosts had now been eliminated.

Lu Chen didn't want the townspeople to continue living such days filled with fear.

So he sent a message to everyone in the town through Mental Energy.

"I am Lu Chen, a Cultivator of the Qingyang Sect. The ghosts in this town have now been eliminated."

"You can live your lives normally from now on."

Then he remembered,

That Ghostly Entity might have created a cult-like power.

At that time,

There were hundreds of figures wearing the same type of robes in the underground secret room.

So he used the Supreme Laws, the Law of Karma and the Law of Destiny,

To find that cult.

He soon knew their location.

Lu Chen immediately teleported there.

He saw hundreds of people,

Divided into different groups,

Performing different sacrificial rituals.

There were many captured women and children on the altars.

Lu Chen directly covered the entire area,

Locking onto every single one of them.

Then he used the Eye of Destruction.

Everyone was instantly evaporated.

Then he used the One Thought, Ten Thousand Lives Technique to heal all the captives,

And released them.

He also deleted all their memories of that day.

Those captives would never know who saved them.

To them,

This was an eternal mystery,

A mystery that would never be solved.

After finishing all the loose ends in the town,

Lu Chen teleported directly to Qiao Wei's side.

When Qiao Wei saw him,

She immediately bowed to him.

"Master."

Lu Chen nodded.

And said,

"The Karma here has been settled. Now, let's go settle your grievances."

"Where is your home? And what grievances remain? You can tell me now."

When Qiao Wei heard that Lu Chen was going to take revenge for her,

She couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

Then she said,

"I come from the Qiao Family of the Dayong Kingdom. My Family is a mundane Martial Arts Aristocratic Family."

"Our Family has eight Martial Arts Grandmasters. It is a powerful Family second only to the royal Family."

"One day, His Majesty the Emperor of Dayong visited my home in plain clothes and proposed a marriage alliance between the two families."

"Everyone was naturally very happy. I was also very happy."

"That prince was both intelligent and brave, very charming, and an ideal husband that was rare to find in the entire Dayong Kingdom."

"Everything went smoothly after that, until one day, Prince Xiao Yu sent someone to my home to ask me to meet him."

"He was my ideal husband, and the dream lover of every young girl in the Dayong nobility."

"He told me that he had discovered a Cultivator's Immortal Cave, and perhaps there was a method for Immortal Ascension inside."

"He hoped I could embark on the path of cultivation with him."

"I was very happy then that my fiancé was willing to share such a huge secret with me."

"I didn't tell anyone in my Family, not even my parents."

"Because the prince said he didn't want anyone else but us to know about it."

Qiao Wei paused as she spoke,

A bitter smile appearing on her face.

"I was too naive. I told my Family I was going to stay at a friend's house for a few days."

"Then we left the Imperial City that day."

"And accompanying us were several of the prince's friends."

"I knew them. They were all Young Masters from the families of various dukes and marquises."

"I was surprised because the prince had told me that only he and I knew about it."

"But I trusted that man too much. So I didn't ask anything."

"Then, after more than ten days of traveling across mountains and rivers, he finally brought me to the Ziyun Mountain Range."

"It was only then that I saw the true face of that beast."
