Everyone stared at True Person Huang Long with cold expressions, their eyes full of doubt.

They had heard True Person Huang Long's screams with their own ears, which had resounded through the heavens and earth.

They had insulted Ye Changqing so much, how could the disciples of the Jie Cult let him go so easily?

This True Person Huang Long, lacking both magical treasures and divine abilities, how did he escape from Three Immortal Island?

"Are you doubting me?"

True Person Huang Long, angered to the point of puffing out his beard and glaring, questioned them sharply.

"Heh heh, we didn't say that..."

Although Ju Liusun denied it verbally, his smirking expression said it all.

True Person Huang Long felt rage burning within him. He had been so subservient in the Chan Sect for so many years, yet it didn't earn him even a shred of trust.

Just as he was about to erupt, Daoist Randeng spoke!

"Huang Long, I do have a method here that can prove your loyalty to the Chan Sect and to Teacher..."

"Are you willing to try it?"

True Person Huang Long agreed without hesitation. Without the identity of a Chan Sect disciple, he was nothing.

Daoist Randeng glanced at Grand Master Xuandu, who immediately understood.

He took out a dark, unpolished pill from his robes and handed it to True Person Huang Long.

This pill was called the Soul Scattering Pill, and anyone who ate it would have their soul scattered within three quarters of an hour.

As long as Venerable Primordial or Laozi were willing to use their methods to shield the heavenly secrets, Ye Changqing would die without anyone knowing.

"No matter what method you use, make Ye Changqing swallow it!"

"From this moment on, you will be our great benefactor."

Daoist Randeng said to him with a smile.

"Of course... everyone has their own aspirations!"

"If you are unwilling, we will not force you."

"However, we will report the many suspicious points to our Master."

True Person Huang Long looked at the pill in his hand and gave a wry smile.

Did he have a choice?

He turned his head to look in the direction of Three Immortal Island, his gaze filled with complexity.

At this moment, he remembered what Ye Changqing had said.

"Things aren't going well for you in the Chan Sect, are they?"

True Person Huang Long gritted his teeth and flew back to where he came from with the pill.

Ye Changqing was already severely injured and didn't have much time left. It might as well be him who fulfilled his own desires.

After True Person Huang Long left, Daoist Randeng, Grand Master Xuandu, and the remaining eleven Golden Immortals all smiled inexplicably.

Benefactor?

No, just a knife to be used for killing!

And one that could be pushed out and discarded at any time...

On Three Immortal Island, Zhao Gongming and San Xiao also couldn't understand Ye Changqing's actions.

They had clearly captured True Person Huang Long, so why did they let him leave so easily?

Ye Changqing just smiled, playing coy with them.

They would understand these things later!

"True Person Huang Long has come to thank Senior Disciple Brother Ye!"

Not long after, True Person Huang Long's voice was heard again outside Three Immortal Island.

A golden light flew out from Three Immortal Island, transforming into a golden avenue.

Countless illusory figures danced beside it, ethereal immortal music sounded, and a rain of flowers filled the sky.

True Person Huang Long walked on this path, appearing somewhat overwhelmed by the honor.

This Senior Disciple Brother Ye didn't seem bad; he was even much kinder to him than others in the Chan Sect.

When had he ever received such treatment in the Chan Sect?

True Person Huang Long's eyes began to struggle, eventually turning into a sigh.

In San Xiao's dojo, True Person Huang Long saw Ye Changqing once again.

His face was pale and he looked very weak.

True Person Huang Long sighed inwardly. Even if he didn't take the Soul Scattering Pill, he wouldn't last much longer.

Doing this would be helping him find release sooner. This reasoning instantly convinced himself.

He scanned his surroundings but didn't see Zhao Gongming and San Xiao, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

True Person Huang Long brazenly produced the Soul Scattering Pill, falsely claiming it was a miraculous healing medicine and presenting it to Ye Changqing.

Though Ye Changqing hesitated the moment he received the pill, he still chose to trust him and swallowed it in one gulp.

At that moment, True Person Huang Long's heart ached; it was his last shred of conscience acting up.

Senior Disciple Brother Ye trusts me so much, I'm truly a terrible person...

As soon as the thought arose, he quickly suppressed it.

Ye Changqing, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly changed color after taking the pill, his body beginning to thrash violently.

True Person Huang Long watched with his own eyes as his Primordial Spirit scattered, a tear as large as a bean rolling down his cheek.

Ye Changqing lay on the bamboo chair, his life gradually fading, as if he had merely fallen asleep.

After confirming multiple times that everything was foolproof, True Person Huang Long quickly fled towards Kunlun Mountain.

Just as he escaped Three Immortal Island, he heard a mournful cry from behind.

"Senior Disciple Brother!"

"Senior Disciple Brother..."

Then came the furious roars of Zhao Gongming and San Xiao.

"Stop right there!"

True Person Huang Long didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, fleeing with all his might.

As long as he reached Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Venerable Primordial would naturally back him.

Furthermore, from then on, the disciples of the Chan Sect would no longer look down on him.

Whoosh!

Twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, carrying immense power, hurtled towards the back of his head.

The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors also transformed into two entwined flood dragons, appearing behind him.

True Person Huang Long no longer dared to indulge in fanciful thoughts, exerting his utmost strength to use his escape technique, dodging danger time and time again.

It wasn't until he reached the Primordial World and saw no one pursuing him that he slowed down, gasping for breath.

He looked at his palms, which seemed stained with blood.

He had killed Ye Changqing!

He had killed Ye Changqing, the one who had suppressed them for tens of thousands of years, making it impossible to breathe!

The sudden sense of accomplishment caused him to laugh uproariously at the sky.

After calming down, True Person Huang Long dared not delay any longer, transforming into a streak of light that streaked across the sky, landing on Kunlun Mountain.

Daoist Randeng and the others had been waiting outside Jade Void Palace for a long time.

"Ye Changqing is really dead?"

They looked at True Person Huang Long, who was beaming with pride, with disbelief.

When they heard that Ye Changqing had personally taken the pill and died, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha."

"Ye Changqing, Ye Changqing, you brought this upon yourself..."

But when True Person Huang Long proposed reporting Ye Changqing's death to Venerable Primordial together, the smiles on Daoist Randeng's and the other eleven Golden Immortals' faces abruptly vanished.

"This humble Daoist suddenly had an epiphany and must take his leave!"

"This humble Daoist is refining a batch of pills in his cave dwelling, I can't stay long!"

"This humble Daoist has a prior engagement, we shall meet again!"

In the blink of an eye, everyone else had left, leaving True Person Huang Long alone.

He was still too young!

Not only that, even the gates of Jade Void Palace were tightly shut; he couldn't see Venerable Primordial at all.

True Person Huang Long stood there dumbfounded, ultimately, he had been mistaken!

It was too late to recall Ye Changqing's kindness now...

He could only sigh and summon his mount, a celestial crane, to return to his dojo.

On Three Immortal Island, Ye Changqing, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes and tossed the Soul Scattering Pill to Zhao Gongming and San Xiao.

"Did you see?"

"This is the true face of the Chan Sect disciples!"
