Chapter 337: Chapter 239: Release the Tiger Back to the Mountain!

Puppet Xie Wenren had already run out of any escape routes!

"I’m exhausted, I need to rest for a while!"

King Tianran, The World’s Foremost Talented, had become like a deflated ball after using the power of the Black Sky Bodhisattva. After the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva had fled, he slumped back into his chair and closed his eyes to meditate, concentrating on recovering his strength and mana.

On the other hand, Puppet Xie Wenren found himself in a hopeless situation as soon as the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva left.

He was surrounded and threatened by Li Ping’an, the Ghost Taoist, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu among other elite members of the Taoist sects.

From initially being confident, arrogant, and haughty, he turned anxious, terrified, horrified, and scared.

At this moment, he was so frightened that he could hardly speak.

But, in order to survive, he still forcibly shouted to the crowd:

"Do you think this will kill me? Huh?"

"Xie Wenren, you trash, stop pretending!"

Li Ping’an was the first to see through his true nature:

"Xie Wenren, stop pretending! How can someone as afraid of death as you not be afraid to die?"

"Now that the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva has already fled, who could possibly save you?"

"Quickly choose a swift way to die! I’m definitely going to kill you today!"

The Ghost Taoist sneered:

"A disciple of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva must be killed!"

"You once wanted to destroy the hope of my Mount Longhu, Li Ping’an, so I will personally destroy you! Don’t blame me! I warned you before! It’s your fault for not listening!"

Puppet Xie Wenren knew earlier that the Ghost Taoist mistook Li Ping’an as a cultivator from Mount Longhu but disdainfully thought that the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva would handle Li Ping’an for him.

However, with the departure of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, he now felt compelled to speak up:

"Ghost Taoist, Li Ping’an is not really a cultivator from Mount Longhu, you’ve been deceived by him!"

"Damn it, you dare to slander me?"

Li Ping’an, who also couldn’t afford to lose his identity as a disciple of Mount Longhu now, feared that if his identity were exposed, all present cultivators including the Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, would devour him!

He was just about to explain when the Ghost Taoist cursed directly:

"Cut the crap! Are we not allowed to have a capable person from Mount Longhu?"

"Xie Wenren, I can’t wait to kill you already!"

"So, how do you want to die?"

Puppet Xie Wenren, realizing that he could no longer play the card of Li Ping’an’s identity as a Mount Longhu cultivator, simply started thinking about other strategies.

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, among other distinguished members of the Taoist sects, also pressed on:

"Xie Wenren! You traitor of the Flame Cloud Sect! Aren’t you going to come clean about what exactly happened at Fallen Dragon Pit that night?"

"Xie Wenren! Was The Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, killed by Li Ping’an? Was the Immortal Slaying Sword taken from Pei Yuanjing by him?"

"Xie Wenren! If you want to live, you better start talking!"

"Xie Wenren! Do you still plan to commit evil at this point?"

"Xie Wenren! Your crime can be considered major or minor, but if you speak the truth, I can assure you survival!"

"Xie Wenren! As long as you listen to Sect Master Zhuge, we will spare your life! But you must destroy your root bone and cultivation!"

The lower-ranking cultivators also did not allow a disciple of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva to survive.

They had all witnessed the strength of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, and if they didn’t kill Puppet Xie Wenren today, he would definitely become the next Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

This posed a huge threat to all Taoist sects under heaven!

Therefore, they were determined to incite the killing of Puppet Xie Wenren today!

"Kill Xie Wenren to avenge the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao!"

"Kill Xie Wenren, this little devil!"

"If we don’t kill this little devil Xie Wenren today, he will inevitably grow into a great devil in the future! Who knows how many people will die by then!"

"Xie Wenren has sided with the old devil outside the Sword Qi Great Wall, he must die today, anyone who spares him is a criminal of the world!"

"Indeed! Xie Wenren has killed so many people, he must die!"

However, Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, from the outskirts ordered the crowd:

"The fate of Xie Wenren should be decided by The Night Traveler’s Bureau! Step aside, we need to take him to The Night Traveler’s Bureau!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu among other eminent members of the Taoist sects knew.

If Night Traveler were to take Puppet Xie Wenren to The Night Traveler’s Bureau, it would be a tremendous torture for him, practically a fate worse than death, which was exactly what they wanted to see.

But if they let Night Traveler take Puppet Xie Wenren now, they would lose the chance to taint Li Ping’an’s reputation.

If they couldn’t tarnish Li Ping’an’s honor, the ongoing Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master would continue, and Li Ping’an would certainly disrupt their plans.

Moreover, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect wouldn’t be able to reclaim the Immortal Slaying Sword!

So, they absolutely could not allow Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, and others to take Puppet Xie Wenren away at this moment.
