CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 176 VENT

At this moment, in the great hall, all the sect members were glaring fiercely at Zhou Yi above.

It’s all his fault!

If not for him, they wouldn’t have ended up in their current predicament.

Especially Luo Tian, despite his face being pale, his rage had already turned his eyes red, and he wished he could rip Zhou Yi apart.

"Do you think I knew about this?"

Heaven and earth bear witness, he really didn’t know about this. There was no record of it in Great Zhou’s generations of inheritance.

Seeing his innocent appearance, Si Hong snorted coldly.

In truth, this was not really Zhou Yi’s fault. After all, at any time, only the emperor’s blood was infused in the spiritual treasure that suppresses the national spirit.

His Great Zhou, having mixed the blood of multiple people, was indeed a precedent.

And Zhou Zheng discovered it by accident while comprehending the national spirit, and was immediately overjoyed.

Originally, he was contemplating how to handle these sect members properly because their power was too strong. If they turned against him, even if they tried to escape, there was nothing he could do.

Now it was good, escape?

Even if they ran to the ends of the earth, he could still kill them!

Of course, Zhou Yi was also delighted in his heart, truly feeling sheltered by the ancestors of Great Zhou, and he wanted to laugh, to laugh heartily.

But at this moment, these people wanted to tear him apart.

Moreover, they hadn’t turned against him yet,

Forget it, forget it, he’d better endure.

"Everyone, I, Zhou Yi, swear by the name of the Great Zhou’s ancestors, that I truly didn’t know about this, like all of you, I just learned about it. If I, Zhou Yi, lie about it, let Great Zhou be wiped out again!"

To swear by Great Zhou, although it should already be enough to prove he really didn’t know about this matter.

However, the expressions of these sect members below were still extremely ugly.

Because even if he didn’t know, the result was already like this, they were now firmly tied to the ship of Great Zhou. To get off means death! Not getting off means they must obediently listen.

In other words, it was even worse than when they were in the wilderness.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi also sighed helplessly in his heart, as these people still need to be loyal to Great Zhou in the future.

He had to make these people feel comfortable, without worries.

Otherwise, even if they didn’t betray Great Zhou on the surface, they might be perfunctory inside, which wouldn’t work either.

He couldn’t just kill them all! That would be suicidal.

He, Zhou Yi, couldn’t do such things.

Thus, he slowly spoke, "I can guarantee everyone, as long as you don’t betray Great Zhou, my Great Zhou will not fail you! Of course, the premise is your loyalty to Great Zhou! I will have Your Majesty issue a decree and swear by Great Zhou’s national fate!"

"Of course, if anyone says one thing publicly and does another secretly, then don’t blame me for being rude."

"Can you make such decisions?"

Si Hong squinted, asking.

"I can convince Your Majesty, you can rest assured about that!"

"Good! If you can truly keep your word, then in the future, my Blood Pool Sect will definitely serve Great Zhou wholeheartedly!"

Si Hong shouted loudly, as things had come to this point, there was no better option now.

Given the current stalemate, as long as their interests could be guaranteed, agreeing wasn’t a big deal.

He had had enough of the ghostly place in the wilderness, and besides Great Zhou, he had no other choice, as Great Xia was mercilessly eradicating these sects.

With him taking the lead, although other sect members were still somewhat hesitant, given the current circumstances, they couldn’t refuse.

So they all spoke in agreement, and in the end, only Luo Tian was left.

Zhou Yi’s eyes fell on him, and Luo Tian also stared at him fiercely, neither of them speaking.

"Remember what you said!"

With these words, he stepped into the air and left the great hall directly.

After Luo Tian left, the others also departed one after another, leaving Zhou Yi alone in the great hall.

Finally, he could stop suppressing the corners of his mouth, "Hahaha....."

....

In the hall suppressing the national spirit.

Zhou Zheng’s face was somewhat pale, his breath chaotic, "Still too forced!"

Murmuring to himself.

He looked up at the Shimmering Golden Phoenix hovering above.

Just now, he could suppress those first-rank ones alone, even "Luo River" was no match for him, all relying on fusion with it.

But the time was too short, he hadn’t fully mastered the Shimmering Golden Phoenix, so he was quite injured this time.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left in such a hurry.

"Speed needs to pick up, or it will be difficult later...."

Then he closed his eyes again, continuing to cultivate with the help of Shimmering Golden Phoenix.

...

Inside the carriage, Chen Xuan looked at the few women still deep in slumber, while Su Yun lay in his arms.

Stroking the long hair of the little girl, gazing out the window as the sky began to gradually lighten.

The carriage hadn’t stopped all night!

"Is action about to be taken?"

He whispered softly.

Leaving in such haste and traveling overnight, all showed that Xuan Er intended to send them away and was preparing to act.

After all, with them around, he couldn’t rest assured.

"Master, you are still too soft-hearted!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with some helplessness.

That day, Cosine entered Star Sea Tower holding her face, his spiritual power had sensed it, much less Xuan Er.

Clearly, she was deliberately letting Xuan Er notice her.

This woman...was stirring his heart, truly a blatant open strategy.

If it were him, it would be best if this woman died. Even if she was once deeply loved, that was in the past; things have changed now.

But Xuan Er just fell for it.

Seeing him rush to leave Yonghe Commandery, made him realize.

"I’m going out for a while, you all go on ahead!"

Just then, Xuan Er’s voice rang in his ear.

Chen Xuan did not stop him, as he had already made up his mind, saying wouldn’t make a difference, so he conveyed:

"Understood, be careful, their strength isn’t weak over there."

"Hmm!"

The next moment, he felt the fluctuation of Divine Footwork.

...

Luo Tian returned to the mansion, sitting in the hall without a word, his face as dark as water.

The injuries were nothing serious, as Zhou Zheng never intended to kill him but only to intimidate him, so he didn’t use heavy hands.

However—

This was an enormous humiliation for him.

The most important was the last words of Zhou Zheng, unless his strength could rival his, otherwise, he could only obediently be under the service of the Great Zhou.

"Damn it!"

Even when Great Xia wiped them out, he had never felt so suffocated.

"Where’s Cosine! Bring her here!"

He suddenly looked up, needing to vent, to vent the anger in his heart.

"In the dungeon, I’ll bring her here!"

The voice of a beautiful woman came in.

A moment later, Cosine walked in slowly, her face full of terror, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

She never imagined that Xuan Er would be so heartless, truly abandoning her, leaving Yonghe Commandery.

At the moment he left, she felt as if the sky had fallen.

Soon enough, Luo Tian’s people found her and threw her into the dungeon.

A night!

Spent in fear, she even smelled the scent of death.

She wanted to die!

But she couldn’t; in the dungeon, people were watching her every move intently, and even her acupoints were sealed.

"Come here!"

Luo Tian’s words carried an unexpected excitement.

Cosine just glanced, and her body couldn’t help but tremble, collapsing on the ground as if utterly exhausted.

"Useless!"

Luo Tian was very dissatisfied, she had collapsed before he even started, so how could he play?

If he couldn’t play, how could he vent!

This damned woman, after so many days, couldn’t win over Xuan Er, not even planting ’Meng Hua’ among his people!

The reason he valued Xuan Er so much,

First, because he appreciated his strength.

Second, he wanted to obtain Divine Footwork.

If he got it, he would not fear even Zhou Zheng, he could run if he couldn’t win, and he could even threaten him in return.

A Grade One lurking in the shadows, constantly watching him, enough to give him a headache.

That’s also why nobody dared to offend Xuan Er.

He extended a finger, sending out a surge of Spiritual Power, like a Spiritual Snake, winding around Cosine’s body.

A light hook of the finger, and she was suspended in mid-air despite her collapse.

"Slap!"

Luo Tian slapped her in the air.

"Such uselessness, I shouldn’t have saved you back then!"

"Slap!"

"Couldn’t even handle a man, and you’re also a woman!"

Just two slaps, and Cosine’s fair face swelled up like a pig’s head.

"Someone! Bring this Young Master’s Fire Spirit Whip!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

At this point, even though Cosine was suspended in mid-air, her mind was buzzing, and she was not conscious, but upon hearing the words ’Fire Spirit Whip,’ she endured the immense pain, "I beg you, just kill me!"

At that moment, she would rather die!

"Die? Before this Young Master has had enough fun, you think you can die?"

Luo Tian said coldly.

"Young Master, the Fire Spirit Whip!" The beautiful woman slowly walked in, respectfully offering the blood-red whip with both hands.

"Stand aside and watch, enjoy how this Young Master educates such an incompetent waste!"

Luo Tian took the Fire Spirit Whip, cast a sidelong glance at the beautiful woman, and said indifferently.

"Yes!"

The beautiful woman did not dare to refuse, knowing it was Luo Tian’s preference, liking others watching him torment people.

She had seen such scenes many times, but every time she returned, nightmares would wake her.

"Slap!"

Luo Tian struck the ground hard with the whip, instantly leaving a finger-wide mark on the hard blue stone.

The beautiful woman’s eye twitched, heart trembled, watching Cosine struggle desperately in mid-air, not daring to show a hint of sympathy, otherwise, the whip would fall on her.

"This whip is refined from a very rare plant in the wilderness, the pain felt on a human is ten times stronger than an ordinary whip, and it is my Young Master’s favorite thing, now it’s your luck!"

"Hehehe..."

Luo Tian rubbed his face against the Fire Spirit Whip, and that perverted appearance made the beautiful woman beside involuntarily swallow her saliva.

Meanwhile, Cosine had already despaired.

"Kill me, kill me..."

Hoarse voice, vacant eyes.

Her mouth kept repeating the phrase, frightened to the point of almost losing her mind.

"No, no, no! You cannot die, at least not before this Young Master vents his frustration!"

"Slap!"

A whip lashed heavily on Cosine’s body.

"Ah~~~~ kill me, kill me!"

A whip, and a blood mark appeared on her body.

Cosine desperately twisted her body, hair disheveled, like a madwoman,

The overwhelming pain, she could no longer endure.

Screaming madly.
