CHAPTER 501: CHAPTER 498 SILVER STATUE

Zou Fang softly said, "Colluding with the wicked? A Grandmaster wouldn’t stoop so low, would they?"

Chu Zhiyuan pondered silently and then slowly nodded, "I don’t think so either."

The Demon Heart Sect, no matter how powerful, shouldn’t be able to contend with a Grandmaster.

Moreover, these two Grandmasters are from the Jiuli Divine Sect.

Jiuli Divine Sect, with such arrogance, how could they possibly conspire with the Evil Sect?

He activated his Super Sense fully.

Five middle-aged men sat around a bonfire, the flames roaring, dispelling darkness and cold.

The crackling of burning wood made the surroundings seem even more serene.

On this cold winter night, this bonfire was indescribably warm.

The five sitting around the fire seemed to be talking casually.

A handsome middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhou, why persist so stubbornly?"

He wore a brocade robe, his gaze piercing through the fire, staring at the two middle-aged men opposite him.

The fire made his eyes shine like torches.

The two middle-aged men in green robes had indifferent expressions, merely staring at the fire as if they hadn’t heard him speak.

On each side of the brocade-robed man sat a gray-robed middle-aged man, their expressions stern as they stared at the two green-robed men, their eyes sharp.

The handsome middle-aged man slowly said, "It’s just a misunderstanding, really. Our sect never intended to offend your sect."

"..." The two green-robed middle-aged men remained silent, only gazing at the fire.

The handsome middle-aged man said, "To express our apology, how about we compensate with a Treasure Sword?"

The two green-robed middle-aged men still said nothing, continuing to stare at the fire.

The handsome middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "Two Treasure Swords, no more than that, after all, it’s just a young one with ordinary martial arts, ...how about it?"

"Hehe..." The two green-robed middle-aged men almost simultaneously let out laughter.

Though their appearances differed, at this moment, their laughter sounded as one.

The handsome middle-aged man exhibited extreme patience: "Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhou, there’s no need for such hostility; let’s talk this over."

"Talk this over..."

"Right, right, let’s talk this over."

"When you were killing, why didn’t you say let’s talk this over?"

"How many people died at your hands, and during the killing, why didn’t you talk it over?"

"...Gentlemen, must it escalate to this point?" The handsome middle-aged man’s demeanor grew solemn, his gaze flashing coldly, speaking in a deep voice, "We are not afraid of you."

The gray-robed middle-aged man on his left spoke in a deep voice, "Elder, why be courteous with them? If they dare make a move, I’ll take them down with me!"

Hearing this, Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed from seven miles away.

As expected, just as I anticipated.

The Sect Master’s letter was handled by this Elder.

The two Grandmasters from the Jiuli Divine Sect aren’t in league with them, which is good news indeed.

With this thought, he no longer hesitated.

The Bright Moon Saber lit up, slowly rising, emerging from the void of his mind into the physical void.

In the next moment, it projected into the mental voids of the three individuals, like a bright moon reflecting on a lake.

The trio simultaneously discovered a bright moon, involuntarily turning their heads to gaze at the night sky.

Tonight’s moon was exceptionally bright.

In the next moment, a blade of light had already reached their brows, and their vision went black instantly.

Their visualization charts hadn’t risen, but the blade of light had already reached their mental voids.

"Boom!"

Thunder boomed at their ears, only to be swallowed by darkness immediately after.

Chu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and grinned.

Indeed, this Bright Moon Saber God was on a dimension higher than spiritual power, capable of ignoring both Grandmaster-level spiritual defense and spiritual energy defense.

Am I invincible now?

He felt a surge of audaciousness, as if the world was so vast, there wasn’t a place he couldn’t go.

The world suddenly felt expansive, and he felt free and unrestrained.

Looking again at the Bright Moon Saber in his mind, its brilliance was even more dazzling than before.

Having slain these three Grandmasters, the Bright Moon Saber God had grown significantly, comparable to those three hundred-plus evil sect demons.

...

The two middle-aged men in green robes frowned.

Seeing the astonishing and incredulous look in the eyes of the three people on the opposite side, which then extinguished as they died, left them shocked.

Their hairs stood on end as they suddenly stood, surveying the surroundings warily.

A vast mountain range rose above their minds, its grandeur rolling forth, overwhelming.

To an outsider, it was as if two mountains descended from the sky, crashing down, unbearable.

This was the aura of a Grandmaster.

They suddenly turned to look.

Chu Zhiyuan, dressed in a flowing purple robe, lightly stepped atop tree branches, arriving gracefully before the two.

He clasped his fists, "I am Chu Zhiyuan, apologies for the interruption."

He gazed at the three fallen bodies, "They were killed by me."

"The Fourth Prince?!" the two exclaimed in unison.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it’s Chu. Are you two gentlemen Elders of the Jiuli Divine Sect?"

"I am Sun Haifeng of the Jiuli Divine Sect."

"I am Zhou Shaotang of the Jiuli Divine Sect."

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Zhou, these three were from the Demon Heart Sect, correct?"

"Indeed, the one in the center was the Elder Lu Yuanhang of the Demon Heart Sect, and those on either side were protectors."

"Lu Yuanhang..." Chu Zhiyuan mused.

He quickly contemplated the intelligence on the Demon Heart Sect within his mind, which included Lu Yuanhang.

Renowned as the most powerful Elder of the Demon Heart Sect, a Great Grandmaster himself, accompanied by two Grandmaster-level protectors, illustrating his authority.

He called out, "Zou Fang."

"Yes." Zou Fang drifted out from the forest, as silent and swift as a ghost.

Zou Fang approached the three, flicking his horsetail whisk and swiftly sweeping away various items from the trio’s possessions.

Sun Haifeng and Zhou Shaotang, seeing this, quickly withdrew their visualizations.

The vast and powerful aura in the vicinity vanished instantly.

Zou Fang seemed unaffected, sorting the extracted items casually.

Several letters, a small statue, and a few bottles of elixir pills.

Chu Zhiyuan ignored the letters, his gaze resting on the statue.

This statue was different from the usual pitch-black statues he’d seen.

It was silver.

As if a layer of mercury had been applied over a pitch-black statue.

This silver sheen made him feel a sense of dread, unwilling to approach.

He waved a hand, "Don’t touch that statue."

Zou Fang quickly withdrew his hand.

He had originally intended to present it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan leaned in, scrutinizing the silver statue.

Sun Haifeng and Zhou Shaotang were still somewhat in a daze, their thoughts scattered, prone to random fancies.

The Elder from the Demon Heart Sect with whom they had just spoken now turned to bones before them.

Such formidable Grandmasters, dead silently and effortlessly.

This left them intensely struck.

The two of them had higher cultivation than the three, which is why they had not been driven away, but their superiority was limited, making it difficult to deal with them.

The constant entanglement was meant to disrupt their plans while seeking an opportunity to kill them.

From three days ago up to now, they found no opportunity.

The elusive opportunity they sought was accomplished effortlessly by Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan killed them with one move, the same move that could also kill them.

They had heard of Chu Zhiyuan’s prowess from Xu Yingying and Xu Suying.

Where they once thought Xu Yingying liked to exaggerate, believing it was somewhat embellished.

Today, having witnessed it firsthand, they realized Xu Yingying’s words weren’t exaggerated, but rather understated.

Such a Miracle Technique, how could one block it?

They couldn’t help but wonder, could the Sect Hierarch and Supreme Elders withstand Chu Zhiyuan?

But they were certain of one thing: the Sect Hierarch and Supreme Elders couldn’t achieve what Chu Zhiyuan did, killing a Grandmaster in an instant.
