Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Initiator, Path Dissipates, Road Ends, No Successors

"Without the Sect Leader’s orders, whoever dares to trespass into the Forbidden Grounds shall be executed!"

Clang!

The sword was drawn from its scabbard, its dazzling light obliterating everything else.

To everyone’s eyes, it was a vast expanse of white.

Zzt! Zzt!

The sounds of bloodshed and wailing echoed around.

One after another, the Beast Taming Sect disciples collapsed, their faces filled with confusion.

Some of them might have been merely curious, while others harbored ulterior motives.

But Liang Hui was never a judge; he was merely a martial artist.

There was no need to overthink, just kill, and the hidden enemies would certainly die.

"Enough, Qin Dao, how can you slaughter fellow sect disciples like this?"

The girl clad in blue garments, enveloped in sky-blue brilliance, with eyes full of reluctance, rebuked him.

What responded to her was a fair palm, breaking through all defenses and pressing down on her head.

Bang!

The girl did not react and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Liang Hui, with his blood-stained sword, cast an indifferent glance at the girl in blue lying on the ground.

He continued to slay the Beast Taming Sect disciples who had arrived at this place.

Bodies floated everywhere, blood splashing about.

After all the sect disciples present had died.

Liang Hui, sword in hand, strode towards the negotiation team.

A young man in Golden Armor and sturdy build, brandishing a halberd, stood in front of the youth.

"Qin Dao, you..."

Bang!

A hand glowing with silver radiance reached out, effortlessly sweeping the halberd aside and pressing against his chest.

In almost an instant, the Golden Armor youth was flung far away, blood in his wake.

"Hinder me again, and your life will remain here."

His steps never ceased, reaching the impersonator.

The same blue robes, the same face, even the sword at their waist and the long spear on their back were identical.

But as long as one was human, upon seeing the confrontation, one would notice the essential difference between the two.

One side was like a dragon soaring through the skies, while the other was nothing more than a crowned monkey.

"Taoist Child, I..."

"Take your own life."

The youth spoke softly, his expression cold.

No matter the reason? What thoughts were in the other’s heart? Whether loyal or not.

Bringing the negotiation team here was a mistake, and for their error, a price had to be paid.

"Yes, Taoist Child."

The impersonator drew his sword and placed it against his neck.

"Qin Taozi, you’ve gone too far!"

A gentle voice came from behind.

The woman in a white dress stood atop a broken wall, observing the bloodshed below.

Her beautiful eyes blazed with annoyance.

Bang!

The impersonator’s head exploded, and Liang Hui flicked the blood off his palm.

"You’re too slow. I’ll help you."

Then, he turned to look at Qing Yi on the cliff.

In this moment, numerous powerful figures descended, their imposing auras pressing down on the negotiation team.

The Beast Taming Sect’s powerhouses watched the prodigies of various sects with frigid expressions.

By now some prodigies had realized or guessed something.

They visibly paled at the thought.

Several prodigies directly took out a black-colored Mystic Altar from their bosoms, trying to vanish into thin air.

Crack! Crack!

The Mystic Altar fractured, but nothing happened.

High above, Ji Lu stood with an Imperial Seal in his hand, engraved with images of Exotic Beasts.

The Imperial Seal was a bright yellow square, reeking of a breath that suppressed all directions.

Qing Yi, standing on the cliffside, took on a grave expression in her eyes, her red lips slightly parted.

"Sect Leader, what is the meaning of this?"

"They wish to kill us all!"

However, Ji Lu did not respond, instead turning his gaze to the youth who had leaped into the air and come to his side.

"I am aware of what has happened, how shall we handle it now?"

"Let’s keep them for now. Although space is sealed, at this moment, our sect probably doesn’t have the assurance to keep them all detained."

"And the news of the negotiation team entering our sect is known by quite a few."

Liang Hui’s face also showed a touch of helplessness, as it was not possible to kill these people at this time.

Otherwise, they would rise up and attack in an instant, not to mention continuing to barely survive and enhance strength.

"You have trespassed into our sect’s forbidden grounds, and now that I have captured you, even if your elders were here, they could not say anything about being detained."

As Ji Lu’s words fell, the entire negotiating team breathed a sigh of relief.

Beast Taming Sect seemed to still have its rationale and hadn’t gone mad.

At this moment, everyone, including Qing Yi, cooperated fully, and they were imprisoned in the palace.

Meanwhile, in the great hall where the Beast Taming Sect’s elder council deliberated, figures with powerful auras sat cross-legged.

The weakest among these auras were at the Blood Refining Level, with the strongest being at the Qi Meridian level.

Ji Lu sat in the highest seat, his eyes indifferently surveying those present.

Liang Hui was seated beside him, on his left, equal in status.

He played with the Crimson Jade Bell in his hand, explaining the events of the day.

As the events were recounted, the expressions of the high-ranking members varied, but none of them spoke up first.

"Not many in our sect knew of the Death Warrior who went on my behalf,"

"Besides me, only four elders."

Ji Lu slowly began to speak, his expression gloomy.

Each elder was at the level of Qi Meridian or had entered the Dao—these were the last remnants of the Beast Taming Sect’s foundation.

Now, it appeared that not all hearts were aligned.

"Sect Leader, isn’t it too presumptuous to assume an elder has betrayed the sect’s arrangements?"

"Every elder seated here has fought to the death for the sake of the sect, even coming close to dying numerous times."

The elder with an aged face and graying hair shakily stood up and began to speak.

Afterward, his gaze turned imploring as he looked toward the youth.

"Taoist Child, can we let today’s incident come to an end? If you must pursue this further and take this old man’s head, would that quell the resentment in your heart?"

"Elder Cang, you have already retired for many years; please rest easy,"

Liang Hui spoke gently, though his eyes still carried an indifferent chill.

His gaze intently fixed on the four elders seated in the foremost positions.

"To lead the negotiation team all the way to the vicinity of the forbidden grounds and to detect the arrival of Qing Yi from the Mystic Altar,"

"In our sect, only the four elders seated here possess the influence and strength required for such a feat."

"Heh, youngster, what do you intend to do, find the person and kill him?"

A muffled voice came from a muscular man with a bearded face.

His face was surrounded by a thick beard.

"Why not? Betray the sect, then kill him."

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"Betray the sect?"

His laughter was deafening, shaking the grand hall continuously.

"Enough, Old Bear!" Ji Lu reprimanded.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

The bearded strongman stopped laughing, his expression returning to calm.

"Let’s not talk about killing that person for now; you find him first," Liang Hui suggested, placing the Crimson Jade Bell he had been fiddling with onto his knees.

"Shall we swear an oath then? The initiator shall have his Dao destroyed, path ended, and no descendants."

In this world, oaths can never be made lightly.

Ji Lu’s head turned slightly to glance at the youth, about to speak.

He was interrupted by a voice in front of them.

"Young one, what gives you the right to make us swear such an oath?"

Another elder spoke up, draped in a green robe, with white hair cascading to the floor.

"On what grounds?"

"Based on the fact that all the elders present have exhausted their potential, and only I, this Taoist Child, am capable of breaking through to the Divine Meridian, Primordial Spirit level, leading our sect to rise again. Is that sufficient?"

"Killing me would be destroying our sect!"

The youth spoke with soaring confidence as the Crimson Jade Bell on his knees transformed into a stream of light and entered his chest.
