Chapter 545: 278: Ashi Luo Shocking Death! Astonishing Truth!_3

"Is the existence of the World-Ending Demon Emperor more important, or is the life of your beloved sister more important?"

Zuo Qiu’s voice suddenly seemed to emanate an immense magic power, an undeniable persuasiveness, as if it were a sublime melody.

Ashi Luo’s expression trembled, and in the end, his gaze still turned toward his sister, Ashi Liren.

Suddenly, he asked, "May I ask, how did you come to know such a top-secret matter that I am the reincarnation of a Hell Knight?"

Zuo Qiu said, "On the Demon Continent, you were filled with the desire to die and attempted suicide countless times. Suddenly, you stopped trying to kill yourself and instead became full of fighting spirit. Moreover, the scars from your self-harm and suicides vanished without a trace overnight. This alone was reason enough for us to be highly suspicious of you."

Ashi Luo said, "But at that time, the legendary Yao Xing had not yet appeared in this world."

Zuo Qiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Each time, it is the Thirteen Hell Knights who awaken first and then assemble to find their master."

Ashi Luo said, "You suspected me, so you planted a spy in the Ashi Clan?"

"Correct," Zuo Qiu said.

Ashi Luo said, "But, you only appeared by my father’s side seven or eight years ago, Lord Zuo Qiu."

Zuo Qiu was silent and didn’t reply.

Ashi Luo said, "Moreover, you have always been lurking by my father, Ashimo’s side; at most, you’d know that I provided him with some evil objects and evil practices from the Demon Continent. How could you be sure that I became a Hell Knight?"

Zuo Qiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes," Ashi Luo said.

"Come in!" Chief Judge Luo Ge of the Dragon Tribunal said.

Then, a familiar figure walked in.

The Red Cloak Mrs. Huo, who was always by Ashi Luo’s side, walked up to him, bowed, and said, "Huo Ya of the Dragon Tribunal, at your service, Lord Ashi Luo."

Ashi Luo was completely stunned.

This Mrs. Huo before him was the one he had rescued at sea, the person he trusted most, and even regarded as an elder.

He had never imagined she was actually an undercover agent from the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal.

"You truly infiltrate everywhere," Ashi Luo sighed. "As for Mr. Zuo Qiu here, you’re not really Zuo Qiu, are you?"

The Fake Zuo Qiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, now it’s time for you to make a choice. Do you want to save your sister, your son, or remain loyal to the insubstantial World-Ending Demon Emperor?"

He added another person to the scales, Ashi Luo’s son, Ashi Yuanba.

Of course, he would not say that if Ashi Luo disagreed, they would kill Ashi Yuanba.

After all, the Dragon Temple claimed to be sacred and just, so they wouldn’t state their intentions so directly.

Ashi Luo’s gaze remained fixed on Ashi Liren.

"Yingying..." Liren slowly woke up and met Ashi Luo’s intensely affectionate and loving gaze.

Ashi Luo said word by word, "I went to the Demon Continent with only one purpose, which was to save my sister. Our entire Ashi Clan deserves to go to hell, except my sister. She is pure and flawless. And my son, Ashi Yuanba, I heard he’s extraordinarily cute and promising. Now these two are my whole world. Even if I were offered the entire world, I would not trade them for it."

Upon hearing these words, Zuo Qiu and the others showed a glint of happiness.

Ashi Luo said, "To me now, the World-Ending Demon Emperor really is just an insubstantial existence. You’re right. My loyalty to him stems entirely from my hatred for this world."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Ashi Luo was compromising—Yao Xing’s master, the World-Ending Demon Emperor was doomed.

He hadn’t even had the chance to grow strong; he was about to die in the womb.

Ashi Luo said, "But, as the source of faith for the entire world, the Dragon God Temple is so vile and corrupt, even attempting to kill my pure and flawless sister, as well as my young and innocent son. What’s the point in keeping such a filthy world?"

At those words, everyone’s color drained from their faces.

Then, dozens of Grand Priests and judges moved forward at their fastest to restrain Ashi Luo.

Ashi Luo sat cross-legged on the ground, not resisting at all, murmuring to himself.

"Life is precious, love has an even higher price, but for faith, for thoroughly cleansing this filthy world, nothing is too great a sacrifice."

"Thank you for, at the last moment, allowing me to completely affirm my faith."

"Demon Emperor, my master, if there is a hell, I’m coming with my beloved and my son to find You, to pledge my allegiance..."

"I hope in the real hell, I can also become Your World-Ending Demon Emperor, my master!"

Ashi Luo closed his eyes, sat motionless.

The Grand Priests and judges desperately tried to suppress the terrifying energy within Ashi Luo’s body with their dragon power.

But it was all too late.

Because the instrument of destruction hidden within his body was physical and unrelated to dragon power.

"Boom..."

Ashi Luo’s body suddenly exploded.

His entire body was instantly reduced to ashes!

The body of Ashi Luo, so evil, yet so terribly beautiful, full of sin and pity, completely vanished in a puff of smoke.

"No..." Ashi Liren cried out in heartrending grief.
