Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Betrayal

Only now, a longsword formed of spiritual power tore through the sky, instantly piercing one man through the abdomen, felling him to the ground.

Sun Ye’s face underwent a drastic change as he immediately turned around to look.

Huang Gu had appeared with a contingent of over a hundred disciples and disciples of the Four Sacred Sect surrounded the prison as well.

Faced with such a situation, Sun Ye and the others were ashen-faced.

"Sun Ye, this is clearly a trap, and you’ve led us into it!"

By now, Sun Ye was beyond defense; he did not know how to face these people.

Yet he knew that he no longer had any way out.

So, the spiritual power swirled around his hands as he formed a seal and charged directly at Huang Gu.

However, even before his figure arrived, Huang Gu had already taken the initiative, grabbing a longsword out of thin air with his right hand, and the two began to duel fiercely.

Sun Ye was once his confidant, but now they were enemies.

"Sun Ye, I never would have imagined that it would be you who betrayed the Four Sacred Sect!"

Sun Ye said nothing, each move he made carried intense killing intent. At this moment, he had just one thought—to kill Huang Gu, for only then could he have a chance to escape with his life.

But unfortunately, Sun Ye was merely at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage of cultivation, while Huang Gu had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak.

After only a dozen or so exchanges, Sun Ye was already being forced into a ragged retreat.

Without even being able to straighten up, he noticed the other figures were being killed by the people from Xuanwu Hall.

In an instant, his face was the color of death.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and before he could continue his assault, Huang Gu had already taken one quick step to arrive in front of him, the sword now against his throat.

"Sun Ye, there’s no chance for you to flee now. You better surrender without a fight," Huang Gu commanded.

Sun Ye closed his eyes in despair, breathing out deeply.

Within the prison, amidst the formation.

The figures had long since been beaten to a pulp, yet the number of swords in the air kept increasing.

The sword rain came again, vast and relentless, while these people, drained of spiritual power, could not resist at all.

After the formation vanished, all that remained were mutilated corpses.

Huang Gu led his men directly into the prison, and upon seeing the corpses scattered everywhere, the stench of blood in the air made him feel slightly nauseous, the scene before him was excessively gruesome.

"As expected of a formation personally set by the Sect Master, it truly is terrifying."

However, his attention was quickly drawn to a token hanging on the waist of one person, although covered in flesh and blood, the inscription was still clearly visible.

Flying Immortal Sect!

"So it was indeed people from the Flying Immortal Sect, it seems our previous speculations were not wrong."

"Sect Master."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Holding the token, Huang Gu immediately turned around to see, only to find Ning Fan arriving, his face concealed behind a mask, followed by Fierce Lion and Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng.

Huang Gu advanced several steps, kneeling on one knee as he presented the token to Ning Fan with both hands.

"Sect Master, they are indeed disciples from the Flying Immortal Sect."

"Please administer punishment, Sect Master. The traitor is Elder Sun Ye from our Xuanwu Hall."

Ning Fan took the token, now cleaned of blood and flesh, but a strong stench of blood still lingered.

His gaze then shifted to Sun Ye, who was subdued by the disciples to the side.

He had some understanding of this Elder.

Huang Gu’s confidant.

"This matter is yours to handle, it concerns your Xuanwu Hall."

"As for these corpses of Flying Immortal Sect disciples, hang them all outside our sect. In addition, spread the events of tonight saying the Flying Immortal Sect intruders killed innocents but were slain by our Sect Disciples."

"Yes, Sect Master."

After tucking the token into his sleeve, Ning Fan then turned to leave.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng smiled, approaching Huang Gu, observing the corpses of Flying Immortal Sect disciples.

"You may rise."

"However, I didn’t expect it to be Sun Ye."

As Huang Gu stood up, his eyes filled with anger as he cast a fierce glance at Sun Ye. He had never imagined such a turn of events either.

If not for tonight, how could he have possibly caught Sun Ye?

Ignoring Zhuang Peng, he walked directly up to Sun Ye.

"You were the person I trusted the most, and yet you’ve betrayed me."

Sun Ye let out a cold laugh, no trace of regret in his eyes.

He then said, "I simply did what had to be done."

"Uniting the Four Sects into one, you lead the Fenyue Sect to its grave. A sect like this will sooner or later be destroyed by your hand."

Huang Gu sighed in disappointment, shaking his head at Sun Ye’s response which he found profoundly disappointing.

"I’m sorry, Sun Ye."

As he spoke, Huang Gu’s right hand clenched into a fist, powerful spiritual energy gathered around it, and he struck Sun Ye in the abdomen.

A devastating force exploded inside, and in an instant, Sun Ye felt his spiritual energy shattered, along with the breaking of his inner organs.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Sun Ye’s eyes widened as he looked at the figure before him for a moment before slowly kneeling on the ground and gradually losing his breath.

Thus, the events of this night came to an end.

The next morning, just as day broke.

One by one, corpses were displayed outside the Four Sacred Sect, a ghastly sight.

This scene quickly became known to the people of the Flying Immortal Sect, and they were furious about it.

The Flying Immortal Sect accused of wanton killing?

This directly slapped a significant accusation on the Flying Immortal Sect, who had to swallow this bitter pill because the dead were indeed their disciples.

And these corpses, the Flying Immortal Sect could not reclaim.

A day later, Fierce Lion led troops to the gates of the Flying Immortal Sect, trailed by wagons with the corpses of the sect disciples lying atop.

The men of Fierce Lion were promptly blocked outside the gates of the Flying Immortal Sect.
