Did We Violate the Laws of Heaven?

In Spirit City, Gu Mingchao the Vast Heaven Sect, and many elders of the Vast Heaven Sect gathered together.

No one looked very well.

Several days have passed since Chu Xinghe was captured. The Vast Heaven Sect issued the Haotian Token, and powerful figures from all the major sects in the world came out.

In a short period of time, countless demonic figures have been annihilated. Gu Mingchao has personally killed several Devil Venerable lords in just the past few days.

But there was absolutely no news about Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Although no one wanted to talk about it, in this situation, we had no choice but to prepare for the worst.

"Continue to expand the search area; we must find Xinghe's whereabouts!" Gu Mingchao continued to issue orders.

But all the elders remained silent with their heads down, and some even thought that perhaps Xinghe had already met with a terrible fate after so long.

After all, everyone knows Xinghe. If he were captured by the Demonic Sect, given his character, he would never do anything to betray the sect.

Under such circumstances, the Demonic Sect would definitely torture this child relentlessly.

Even if he doesn't die, after so many days, he's probably already ruined.

The Grand Elder stared blankly at everything.

The Grand Elder has looked much more haggard these past few days, and people have even noticed that he often stands there alone, lost in thought.

The Grand Elder had no children of his own, so it could be said that Xinghe was like his own child to him.

The Grand Elder has always treated Chu Xinghe as his own son.

This incident involving Chu Xinghe is an unimaginable blow to the Grand Elder.

Many elders have tried to persuade the Grand Elder in the past few days, but to no avail.

Just as everyone was frowning in worry, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Ma Liang suddenly darted in from outside the door.

Gu Mingchao frowned at Ma Liang's sudden intrusion, but before he could speak, he was stunned by Ma Liang's words!

"Sect Master... there's news!"

"What?" The First Elder arrived at Ma Liang's side in the blink of an eye and grabbed Ma Liang from the ground with both hands.

"Elder, it's news about Senior Brother Xinghe... Not long ago, someone saw Purple Lightning Flash in the sky above Tianrun City; it must have been Senior Brother Xinghe's Thunder Shadow!"

"Tianrun City?"

"Yes! In a courtyard on the outskirts of Tianrun City!"

As soon as Ma Liang finished speaking, the Grand Elder vanished from the spot!

"Elder..." Seeing the Elder so excited, Gu Mingchao couldn't care less about anything else.

In fact, not only the Grand Elder, Gu Mingchao was also excited.

Tianrun City!

At Gu Mingchao's command, all the experts of the Vast Heaven Sect were mobilized, heading towards Tianrun City.

Everyone rushed to the courtyard on the edge of Tianrun City as soon as possible. This was the Demonic Shadow Sect's headquarters and the place where Chu Xinghe was imprisoned.

Meanwhile, the place had already been taken over by the Vast Heaven Sect, and all the Demonic Shadow Sect disciples inside had been captured by the Vast Heaven Sect.

However, when the many disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect entered this place, they were all stunned by everything they saw!

This isn't a courtyard, this is a hellish slaughterhouse!

Limbs and torsos were everywhere, and blood permeated every building.

The ground was stained blood red, and even the pond in the garden was now crimson.

What kind of terrifying battle took place here?!

Countless disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect, who thought they had survived the calamity, were now all under their control.

The disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect were all dumbfounded as they watched the Vast Heaven Sect members rushing in from all directions.

In the past, it would have been extremely difficult for them to even encounter a Seventh Rank Martial Saint.

However, after receiving the news from the Vast Heaven Sect, in just a short period of time, the disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect witnessed just how powerful the number one sect in the world truly was!

One by one, these peerless experts descended from the sky, emanating a terrifying aura capable of crushing people!

Martial Venerable... yet another Martial Venerable...

My goodness... Martial Emperor... yet another Martial Emperor Wu...

Did Martial Emperor not want money anymore?

Is this the legendary strength of the number one sect in the world?

Soon, when Gu Mingchao, the Vast Heaven Sect, who was known as the number one person in the world, stepped through the void and descended into the courtyard, all the disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect were dumbfounded.

Is this the legendary number one person in the world?

Is this Gu Mingchao?

Before they could figure it out, one of the Demonic Shadow Sect disciples had already been captured by Gu Mingchao.

"Speak! Has Chu Xinghe been here before?!"

"Waaaaah..." The captured Demonic Shadow Sect disciple was so frightened that his legs went weak and he wet himself on the spot.

"Those who remain silent will die!"

Before the Demonic Shadow Sect disciple could recover from his fear, an extremely angry voice rang out.

The next second, the Grand Elder raised his hand and struck the Demonic Shadow Sect disciple with a palm!

"Boom!"

All the disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect watched as the Great Elder's storm-like Spirit Power swept across, and the Demonic Shadow Sect disciple who was being held by Gu Mingchao was instantly reduced to ashes!

That's right... a person who was lively and energetic just a second ago was instantly reduced to ashes and scattered by the wind with a single palm strike...

Forget about people, even powder is hard to find these days.

If Chu Xinghe were standing here and saw this scene, he would definitely say, "Elder... if you went to the crematorium, you wouldn't even need a crematorium furnace..."

A single palm strike turned a person into dust... This power caused several disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect with weaker mental fortitude to faint on the spot.

And before they lost consciousness, they had only one thought...

Is this really a righteous sect? They're far more ruthless than our Demonic Shadow Sect...

The Grand Elder had already grabbed another disciple of the Demonic Shadow Sect, gathering Spirit Power in his palm as he spoke, "Speak! Has Chu Xinghe been here?"

At this moment, everyone in the Demonic Shadow Sect knew from the Spirit Power in the Grand Elder's hand that if they dared to hesitate for even a second, they would definitely be reduced to dust.

"Yes, yes!" The Demonic Shadow Sect disciple, who had been captured by the Grand Elder, was so frightened that he cried out in response.

At this moment, everyone in the Demonic Shadow Sect had only one thought...

Have we committed some kind of heinous crime?

We're just a group of ordinary disciples from the Demonic Shadow Sect... so many Martial Emperors suddenly appeared here, turning us into dust with a single palm strike... was it really necessary?

However, upon hearing the Demonic Shadow Sect disciple's answer, everyone from the Vast Heaven Sect was overjoyed.

Finally, there's news!

"Speak! Where is Chu Xinghe now? What exactly happened?" The First Elder continued to gather Spirit Power in one hand as he asked.

The Demonic Shadow Sect disciple in his hand hesitated for a moment, and the Grand Elder once again reduced him to dust!

The Grand Elder then seized a new one.

Finally, this time, the one who was arrested became very talkative and recounted everything that had happened in the past few days without stopping.

As the Demonic Shadow Sect disciple recounted his story, everyone from the Vast Heaven Sect gathered there laughed.

"That kid is incredibly smart!"

When Gu Mingchao heard that Chu Xinghe had come here not to resist stubbornly but to hand over all kinds of spirit stones and the Stone-Pointing Technique gold, his face beamed with joy.

Honestly, what's everyone most worried about these past few days?

If Chu Xinghe refuses to surrender even after being captured, then the probability of Chu Xinghe being crippled is very high.

However Chu Xinghe did not resist to the death as everyone expected. Instead, he directly handed over various resources and deliberately pretended to surrender to buy time.

This approach earned everyone's secret approval.

Look at Xinghe, he's really smart!

There's no point in putting up a stubborn resistance; preserving your life is the priority.

As for the spirit stones and the Stone-Pointing Technique that Chu Xinghe handed over, frankly, does the Vast Heaven Sect care?

Compared to Chu Xinghe's safety, these things are nothing!

Then the people from the Demonic Shadow Sect continued their story, explaining how Chu Xinghe pretended to surrender to gain the Devil Venerable's trust, and then even brought out the Haotian Battle Intent.

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed drastically. They knew that the Haotian Battle Intent was no ordinary technique; how could Xinghe possibly hand it over?

Just as they were wondering what was going on, the disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect cried out.

"The Haotian Battle Intent that Chu Xinghe handed over was fake... The Devil Venerable cultivated this Haotian Battle Intent and immediately exploded and died!"

Really!

Hearing this, everyone laughed!

You said Xinghe would never betray the sect, right...?

So he was planning to trick and kill the Devil Venerable!

And he actually succeeded, using a false Haotian Battle Intent to successfully kill a Devil Venerable.

This is truly unexpected.

However, while everyone was happy, they couldn't help but start to worry.

Xinghe, that kid, even tricked and killed the Devil Venerable, so what happens next...?

Looking at this scene of carnage, everyone probably guessed what was going on!

However, when the words actually came from the mouth of a disciple of the Demonic Shadow Sect, everyone was still stunned.

After Chu Xinghe killed the Devil Venerable, the Demonic Shadow Sect swarmed in, and Chu Xinghe fought Demonic Shadow Sect all of them alone.

This carnage was created by Chu Xinghe.

In this battle, almost all of the Fifth Rank soldiers of the Demonic Shadow Sect were wiped out, and countless Demonic Shadow Sect disciples were killed on the spot by Chu Xinghe...

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Vast Heaven Sect present was shocked!

Xinghe, this kid, has actually become this strong?

"Sect Master... listen to what he means... let me recreate the specific situation using the Soul Seizing Art."

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, everyone nodded slightly, but the people of the Demonic Shadow Sect truly wept.

Are you guys really from a prestigious lineage?

Soul Seizing Art? That's a method of tormenting the soul...

Even we members of the Demonic Shadow Sect feel guilty using it, don't you have any humanity at all?

But who cared about the Demonic Shadow Sect's complaints at this moment? The Grand Elder's hand flashed with gray light, and in an instant, the souls of several Demonic Shadow Sect disciples present were imprisoned. After their souls were imprisoned, the Soul Seizing Art was activated.

In an instant, all the souls gathered into light and shadow, and began to replay the events that had occurred in their memories before the eyes of everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect.

First, the Devil Venerable exploded and died, and the battle began at that moment!

Chu Xinghe drew his Haotian Sword Casket and fought alone against the Demonic Shadow Sect. The scene, a tapestry of intertwined souls, was beyond description. Witnessing this bloody battle firsthand, even those from the Vast Heaven Sect who were prepared were stunned by what they saw...
