Chapter 97: Chapter 97 As long as I want, you all will die…
Baili’s figure completely disappeared, the last bit of shattered light slowly melting in the air, transforming into a sky full of stars.
Yun Yan stared blankly at the night sky, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, Shen Yucheng suddenly felt something strange in his chest. Looking down, he saw a dark tear stain on his lapel, probably left by Baili when the three of them embraced just now.
He touched his chest, where Liu Mingzhen had given him the pill.
But now, this pill was emitting a faint light.
Shen Yucheng had never seen a pill that could glow.
Could it be that it wasn’t a pill at all?
Just as he was thinking this, Yun Yan, who was still immersed in grief, seemed to suddenly realize something. He quickly walked up to Shen Yucheng, staring intently at the round bead. Shen Yucheng felt a chill from his gaze and couldn’t help but ask, “…What’s wrong?”
Yun Yan said with certainty, “There is Baili’s spiritual power inside.”
Shen Yucheng’s heart jolted, recalling how close the three of them were when Baili disappeared just now. If this bead wasn’t an ordinary pill, but some kind of container that could preserve a soul… then everything made sense.
After all, Liu Mingzhen had also researched similar secret techniques to revive his wife and children.
Shen Yucheng pondered for a moment, then gently placed the round bead into Yun Yan’s hand. Meeting Yun Yan’s bewildered eyes, he said solemnly, “This thing, I’ll leave it to you for safekeeping for now. I’m not saying this as a disciple, but as a friend from a thousand years ago. If one day I find that you haven’t taken good care of it, I will personally take it back.”
Yun Yan held the round bead in both hands, his eyes slightly red: “Yucheng, thank you.”
However, this moment of tenderness didn’t last long before a commotion suddenly erupted below.
The group looked down, only to see the disciples regaining consciousness one by one, Shen Yucheng having already released his control over them.
But the leading elders pointed at Shen Yucheng, shouting sternly, “You! It’s you! A person of the Forbidden Dao! Come down and be judged!”
Someone took the lead, and others immediately joined in the clamor: “That’s right! I saw him with my own eyes using silk threads to control the disciples! He is the mastermind of this great battle!”
“This kind of person is the most terrifying! Mixing in with the crowd, no one has discovered that he is a Forbidden Dao practitioner for so many years! If we let him continue to roam freely, what future will the cultivation world have!”
“I recognize him! Shen Yucheng of the Futian Sect! Wasn’t it said before that his life or death was uncertain? Now that he’s back, isn’t it because he’s mastered the Forbidden Dao and come to take revenge on us?”
“What are we waiting for? Lock him up immediately! He’s too dangerous!”
“Lock him up for what! Execute him on the spot! With so many elders present, what’s there to be afraid of!”
The crowd was agitated, and the more they spoke, the more outrageous they became, as if they had already regarded Shen Yucheng as the culprit.
Amidst this uproar, the elders became even more righteous and stern: “Shen Yucheng, as a practitioner of the Forbidden Dao, do you know the rules of the cultivation world? Forbidden Dao practitioners must bezhū , this is an iron law established thousands of years ago! If you still have a shred of conscience, then don’t struggle, come down obediently now, and perhaps you can still…”
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yucheng interrupted them, his voice calm but resounding throughout the entire venue: “If I come down now, I won’t have to die?”
This preemptive strike left the elders speechless for a moment, because what they had said just now was just platitudes, they had already decided to have him die.
Regardless of what Shen Yucheng had done, whether he had saved the cultivation world or protected countless lives.
As long as he was a Forbidden Dao practitioner, he had to die.
Shen Yucheng suddenly found it laughable. Recalling everything he had seen in Baili’s Time Dao, a thousand years later, these people, this scene, were almost exactly the same. Even after experiencing this catastrophe, they still hadn’t learned anything, hadn’t understood anything.
His gaze passed over the elders and looked at the disciples who were tense and wary behind them.
They were staring at him, tightly gripping their weapons, their bodies trembling.
Terrified to death, yet still desperately wanting to kill him.
Seeing Shen Yucheng’s unusual expression, the elders immediately reacted: “I’ll say it again! Forbidden Dao practitioner! Don’t even think about resisting! If you dare to move, we will immediately strike you down! In our eyes, you are no different from the demonic head who controlled the Demon Beasts just now! For the sake of peace in the cultivation world, we must eliminate you today!”
The disciples behind responded in unison, their voices loud and imposing.
Shen Yucheng saw this scene in his eyes.
He had clearly desperately protected them, but at this moment, they were only left with fear, losing their ability to think.
The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was staring intently at Shen Yucheng, every move and every action, as if the slightest thing would detonate an imminent battle.
Suddenly, Shen Yucheng chuckled softly. That laugh contained helplessness, but also sorrow.
He spread out his hands and said with a smile: “Come on.”
The elders didn’t react for a moment, only feeling a jump in their hearts.
Shen Yucheng said slowly: “Didn’t you say you wanted to eliminate me? Come on. Just like a thousand years ago, when you besieged the ‘great heroes’ in the battle between immortals and demons, today, let’s reenact it once again.”
The elders’ faces turned ashen with anger, and they roared: “Look clearly! We have hundreds of thousands of people, you are only one! Don’t think we are bullying you because we have more people!”
Shen Yucheng lightly replied: “Didn’t you do this kind of thing a thousand years ago?”
As soon as these words came out, the elders’ faces were as unsightly as if they had eaten a dead rat, and they were so angry that they immediately gave the order: “Everyone, listen to my command! Attack together! Lock onto the target – Shen Yucheng!”
The disciples responded loudly, rushing forward aggressively: “Charge, ah, ah, ah!!”
However, after running only two steps, they were forcibly suppressed by the terrifying pressure emanating from above, their legs going weak and unable to take another step.
Looking at the scene before them, the elders’ faces turned ashen with anger, and they glared fiercely at the row of people in mid-air: “What do you mean by this? Are you trying to rebel?”
Standing above were all the well-known Sect Leaders of the cultivation world. The elders didn’t expect that in addition to Fu Lingxuan, there were also Li Yuan and Ling Yi.
These three had been rising stars in the cultivation world in recent years, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them the backbone.
No one had expected that they would choose to stand on Shen Yucheng’s side.
Ling Yi snorted coldly, raising her hand to cast a long-range spell, heavily smashing it near the elders’ feet, her voice full of arrogance: “What rebellion? Don’t talk about us like you. We have never been petty people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground was still smoking.
The elders pointed at her and shouted: “You have some nerve! Do you know that you are now opposing the hundred largest sects in the entire cultivation world?”
Ling Yi looked lazy, as if she didn’t take them seriously at all: “I’m not here today as the Sect Leader of the Qionghua Sect, I am Ling Yi. What hundred largest sects, what elders, what rules, I don’t care about any of that. I only know who should live, who shouldn’t die, and who should die.” When she said the last few words, her tone suddenly turned cold.
The elders were exasperated, and seeing that they couldn’t persuade her, they turned to win over Li Yuan.
But Li Yuan didn’t even bother to look at them, raising his hand to throw an exploding talisman over.
With a loud bang, thick smoke billowed out, and the elders coughed repeatedly, their faces extremely unsightly.
They quickly turned their gaze to Fu Lingxuan, but before they could open their mouths, a burst of blue light suddenly lit up under their feet. It was Fu Lingxuan’s long-established high-damage magic array.
Frightened, they quickly shifted their gaze, their hearts pounding wildly.
Faced with these difficult opponents, the elders gnashed their teeth, their hearts becoming increasingly uneasy.
“Who exactly is he? Why are these three Sect Leaders protecting him?”
A Lingfeng Sect elder said with a gloomy face: “Not to mention the Vice Sect Leader, the entire sect knows that he is protective of his people. As long as they are from the Futian Sect, he will always hold them in his heart.”
“But… who exactly is this Shen Yucheng?”
Just as they were discussing in low voices, another figure appeared in mid-air.
Mo Yifeng stepped on his sword qi and ascended into the air, thousands of swords flying behind him, as magnificent as a thousand-handed Guanyin. He raised his eyes and looked down, his red pupils like fire, and sneered: “The mouths of you ants below are really dirty. The only reason I could tolerate you for so long is because Yucheng-ge is holding me back up there. Otherwise, your heads would have fallen off as soon as you uttered that first piece of garbage.”
The elders’ eyes widened instantly, their pupils shaking.
“SwordZūn ?! How is it that even he is standing on Shen Yucheng’s side?!”
“No way? Weren’t they fighting each other to the death just now?”
“What’s going on? This is getting more and more outrageous!”
Before they could recover from their shock, countless tree roots suddenly burst out from the ground, instantly entangling them tightly, making them unable to move.
The elders’ faces changed drastically: “!!! This move is!”
Yun Yan’s voice was as gloomy as thunder rumbling in the sky: “What do you want to do to my Futian Sect’s disciple, my beloved disciple, Yun Yan?”
Thinking back to a thousand years ago, Baili was also besieged by this group of people in this way, isolated and helpless, and ultimately…
The tree roots tightened little by little, as if to crush these elders alive.
The elders had difficulty breathing, their faces flushed red, desperately hitting the tree roots, only hoping to take a few more breaths.
At this moment, Shen Yucheng stepped forward, looking at the people before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
At this time, knowing that he might be ostracized, there were still people who stood up and stood in front of him.
He gently placed his hand on Yun Yan’s shoulder and said softly, “Master, I’ll handle this matter personally. Let them go first.”
Yun Yan stared at the elders, his face full of unwillingness, but in the end, he nodded and retracted the tree roots.
The elders finally caught their breath, their eyes red and necks thick, gnashing their teeth and roaring: “What are you still doing?! Quickly capture the Forbidden Dao practitioner!”
Mo Yifeng was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword: “Looking for death!”
The crimson gold sword buzzed behind him, its killing intent soaring to the sky.
But Shen Yucheng gently pulled his sleeve: “Yifeng, let me do it.”
Mo Yifeng’s mind was full of anger, but when he heard these words, his entire person was like a punctured balloon, suddenly quieting down.
Only two words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
Yifeng…
Yucheng-ge called him… Yifeng… for the first time…
Hehe… Yifeng…
…
Shen Yucheng stepped forward to the forefront of the battlefield, looking at the large group of disciples who were covered in blood but still rushing over while gritting their teeth.
They had clearly just finished a great battle, they were clearly covered in wounds, and clearly many of them had even exhausted their spiritual power, but because of the so-called Forbidden Dao laws, they blindly obeyed orders and came to take his life.
Shen Yucheng sighed softly, and with a wave of his hand, countless golden silk threads unfolded from behind him, like a sky curtain.
The disciples took a step back instinctively, but before they could react, the golden silk threads traversed at the speed of light, tightly entangling their bodies.
Ling Yi whistled, full of praise: “Fucking handsome.”
The disciples thought they were going to die, but suddenly discovered that the injuries in their bodies were healing rapidly, and their spiritual power was also slowly recovering.
This feeling was vaguely familiar.
If they remembered correctly, this was exactly the power that had saved them in their moment of despair during the great battle.
The golden silk threads gently placed them back on the ground one by one, without any intention of harming them.
The elders were so angry that they stomped their feet: “What are you doing! Attack quickly!”
But the disciples looked at each other, each hesitating and not daring to go forward.
At this moment, Shen Yucheng stood out, his voice as cold as ice: “Just now, I have already injected my spiritual power into each of your bodies.”
“With just a thought from me, you will all die immediately.”
