Chapter 544: Disciple Zheng Chi, Greetings, Teacher! [6000-character mega chapter, seeking monthly votes!]_4
"He dares!!!"
The heart roared, terrified.
Bai Luo, the Ancestor Master, and Qing Baizi were two of the oldest and most accomplished True Immortals in the immortal alliance. Yet, the Qingjing Saint, without a word of disagreement, struck to kill.
Truly a fearsome nature.
The three could not help but remember that even before the saint had established the alliance, he had slain seven True Immortals of the Longevity Alliance. Thereafter, wandering the Five Continents and Five Seas, he eradicated demon foes, utterly.
In a short time, he made a great name for himself, respected throughout the continents and seas.
However, in recent years, this Alliance Hierarch restrained himself and cultivated his nature, rarely taking action, which almost made them forget his fierceness of the old days.
Now, with the lives of two True Immortals at stake, they finally recalled.
While their hearts were filled with terror and anger, they remained silent, daring not to speak.
Not just the three of them.
Even Zhang Jingshan and others who witnessed this scene were too frightened to breathe.
Although their teacher possessed authority, it was mostly the aura from past rumors; during normal interactions, it was often harmonious. Seeing this sudden killing intent today naturally shocked them.
Observing further, the female cultivator behind Daoist Qin Wei and Lu Qingfeng, seeing the lifeless bodies of Ancestor Master Bai Luo and Qing Baizi, their expressions changed, they opened their mouths as if to speak but eventually sighed deeply in silence, uttering no words.
"Do you admit your guilt?"
Lu Qingfeng showed no concern.
Having killed two True Immortals, he turned to Daoist Xiyi and others, questioning aloud.
"We—"
Daoist Xiyi, Heavenly Mechanism, and Gu Jing True Immortal exchanged glances, feeling aggrieved and bitter, but glimpsing the fallen Ancestor Master Bai Luo and Qing Baizi, dared not rebuke and almost simultaneously bowed their heads and said, "We admit our guilt!"
Circumstances overpowered them.
They could only concede.
But—
"As long as we live, there must be a chance. Once offline, I want to see what this Old Demon can do to me!"
Daoist Xiyi thought secretly.
Heavenly Mechanism and Gu Jing True Immortal also harbored such thoughts.
Being player True Immortals.
They entered the Primordial ambitiously but also had a way out. Although they had offended Lu Qingfeng, returning to reality after logging out meant facing relentless pursuit if they re-enter the Five Directions Realm, essentially cutting off the roots they had cultivated for tens of thousands of years in the realm.
But it was better than having their lives and freedoms completely controlled by others.
Of course.
If the punitive charge was not severe, it wouldn't come to this.
The three bowed their heads, their thoughts flickering, quietly waiting for judgment.
"You harbored malicious intentions, but considering your past merits of exorcising demons, I shall first suppress you beneath Azure Dragon Mountain. The day you truly repent will be the day you regain freedom."
Lu Qingfeng spoke, his voice clear like a copper bell, but to Daoist Xiyi, Heavenly Mechanism, and Gu Jing True Immortal, it thundered like a death knell.
"Alliance Hierarch—"
The three suddenly looked up, staring at Lu Qingfeng.
Such punishment, not knowing the duration, tormented them the most. Whether to be released or kept depended solely on Lu Qingfeng's thoughts. Worse still, being suppressed under the mountain, their whole bodies sealed, even as players, they could hardly log out.
If Lu Qingfeng delayed their release, they might even die trapped beneath Azure Dragon Mountain.
The three panicked.
But Lu Qingfeng was never one to be soft-hearted towards his enemies. As he said, had it not been for their merits in exorcising demons, based on today's revolt alone, Lu Qingfeng would have slain them all.
Like Ancestor Master Bai Luo and Qing Baizi.
Unrepentant and insolent in their words, Lu Qingfeng showed no mercy and struck them down.
In comparison.
For these three, he had already been merciful.
"Under Azure Dragon Mountain."
"Reflect well."
Lu Qingfeng, ignoring their words, waved his green bamboo staff, releasing three Iron-Backed Centipedes. Like ancient Heavenly Dragons, the Iron-Backed Centipedes stirred up a gale, roaring as they swept up the three, sending them to the four directions around Si Ming Peak.
The gale lifted the ground, raising the mountains.
Beside Si Ming Peak, Flying Peak, Three Platforms Peak, and Moon Hua Peak all shook simultaneously. As the gale subsided, the three Iron-Backed Centipedes returned to the green bamboo staff, and all returned to calm.
However.
Daoist Xiyi, Heavenly Mechanism, and the veteran Gu Jing True Immortal were now suppressed under the three peaks by Lu Qingfeng's powerful mana, unable to escape.
