Chapter 481 Inside the Star Devouring Sect
Immediately afterwards, their hearts were filled with resentment.
Finally, if anyone harbors even the slightest resentment or encounters setbacks in their cultivation, the disciples of the Star Devouring Sect will vent their anger on that person.
The last disciple was tortured to death by them.
It was an extremely tragic situation.
Long Xiao was one of the participants, and he was the one who struck the hardest.
So now that he knew his only fate was death, Long Xiao became extremely calm. He chuckled, stood up with a bitter expression, and went to face Li Lan.
But at this moment, Long Xiao hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists.
why?
Why today of all days?
He had finally found such a captivating fairy, and was about to enjoy the bliss of family life, but instead he encountered this despair.
why? !
why? !
Long Xiao thought resentfully.
He hardened his heart and made up his mind.
If he couldn't live, he couldn't leave Su Yao to someone else.
Even if he dies, he wants Su Yao to die with him, so that she can keep him company in hell.
At this point, Long Xiao sneered and immediately prepared to attack the wisp of Su Yao's soul imprint in his mind. As long as he shattered it, Su Yao would die from a broken soul.
Just as the divine power within him surged toward his soul, Li Lan, who had already activated his Heavenly Eye, saw everything and let out a soft snort.
"Even now, they're still so despicable! They deserve to die!"
Before Long Xiao could react, Li Lan slightly raised his right leg and stomped down hard.
A deafening boom resounded.
A giant foot, formed from divine power, suddenly appeared in the sky and stomped down hard on the ground, its foot aimed directly at Long Xiao's head.
Before Long Xiao could react.
Even when he looked up in terror, it was already too late.
With a crisp sound, Long Xiao was crushed into a cloud of blood mist right before everyone's eyes.
Seeing Long Xiao trampled into a bloody mist in front of everyone, an awkward expression appeared on everyone's face.
After all, this was their fellow disciple, yet they could only watch him die without doing anything.
However, they will not feel guilty.
They even harbored resentment towards Long Xiao, that bastard, for almost dragging them all down with him.
Fortunately, this senior was magnanimous and spared their lives; otherwise, they would all have faced certain death.
At this moment, Li Lan's divine power carefully enveloped Long Xiao's soul within the blood mist, preserving it intact.
Long Xiao's soul still contained a wisp of Su Yao's soul imprint.
Looking at the pitiful, terrified expression on Long Xiao's soul body, Li Lan smiled faintly.
Long Xiao knew he had no way out at this moment.
But he didn't want to die, he didn't want to just wait to die, so he immediately tried to escape.
Li Lan flicked his finger, and a ray of divine light shot out, condensing on Long Xiao's soul, rendering him instantly immobile.
Li Lan waved her hand slightly, and Long Xiao's soul was drawn into Li Lan's palm.
Looking at the miserable and terrified soul of Long Xiao in his palm, Li Lan's lips curled into a wicked smile:
"I wanted to spare your life, but you couldn't withstand that blow. It's fate, and you can't blame anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Long Xiao shouted in fear and unease:
"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"
"I withstood it, my soul is intact, doesn't that count as withstanding it?"
Long Xiao hurriedly tried to explain.
Li Lan watched this scene with a calm expression, ignoring his pleas for mercy.
The hand tightened slightly, and to Long Xiao, who was only the size of a palm at the moment, it felt as if a five-fingered mountain, which covered the sky and the sun, was gathering towards him.
As his palms closed, he was completely trapped within Li Lan's palms.
"boom!"
With a crisp sound, Long Xiao's screams came to an abrupt end, and his soul dissipated into countless specks of light.
After Long Xiao died, Li Lan opened his palm and saw that only a faint and extremely subtle wisp of his soul remained in his palm.
It was Su Yao's wisp of soul imprint.
In this way, the promise to Su Yao would be fulfilled.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Let's leave it at that. If anyone dares to provoke me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Lan snorted coldly, then, clutching the wisp of soul imprint, turned and stepped into the unknown direction, entering the spatial passage and traversing away.
In an instant, Li Lan disappeared from everyone's sight.
With Li Lan's departure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of surviving a disaster brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
Only then did they realize that in just a short while, less than a few minutes, they were drenched in sweat.
"I survived, I finally survived."
This is what everyone is thinking right now.
They were all suppressed to the point of not daring to breathe.
Many people nearly suffocated to death; Li Lan terrified them to the extreme.
At this moment, Li Lan did not travel very far using the spatial passage.
Instead, they took a long detour and returned to the territory where the Star Devouring Sect was located.
In the blink of an eye, divine power surged around Li Lan, and he returned to his original form.
At this moment, Li Lan stood on a small hill far away from the Star Devouring Sect, gazing at the situation here.
The sect leader of the Star Devouring Sect, Mo Chen, had a furrowed brow and was seething with anger.
Because this should never have happened.
But because of Long Xiao's stupidity, he almost fell into danger and almost lost the position of sect leader that he had finally secured.
Only he knew how difficult it was to obtain this position.
He used countless schemes and tricks to climb up the ranks step by step in order to obtain this position.
In order to eliminate his competitors one by one, Mo Chen meticulously planned every step he took, and even endured extremely difficult times every day.
The thought of the past caused him immense pain and mental anguish.
But after finally getting all this, before he could even settle down, he almost lost it all because of that idiot Long Xiao.
So at this moment, Mo Chen clenched his fists, his gaze coldly fixed on the group of disciples behind him:
"Everyone, assemble at the training ground!"
Upon hearing their sect leader's cold voice, all the disciples felt a chill run down their spines and panicked. They looked at each other, glancing at their companions.
How could they not know that their sect leader was in a bad mood? At this moment, they didn't know which unlucky person would offend him, and they just hoped to get through the day peacefully.
Meanwhile, seeing the group from the Star Devouring Sect disperse and head towards the training ground, Li Lan seized the opportunity to immediately use the power of spatial laws to travel at top speed towards the primeval forest where Su Yao was located.
It should be noted that the territory where the Star Devouring Sect is located is extremely vast.
The territory occupied by the Star Devouring Sect alone is about the size of a planet in another world.
So it took at least ten minutes for everyone to slowly make their way to the training ground.
Li Lan could reach the primeval forest using the laws of space in just a few seconds or breaths, a huge difference in time between the two.
They had barely started when Li Lan arrived at the primeval forest.
Li Lan appeared directly in this maze-like forest.
Su Yao, who already knew what had happened outside the mountain gate, looked surprised, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The moment the handsome man appeared outside the mountain gate, Su Yao was startled and couldn't help but think to herself.
Is this the solution Li Lan was talking about?
Could it be that the powerful figure was invited by Li Lan?
It's no wonder she thinks that way.
Because Li Lan had just said he would help her deal with Long Xiao and save her from danger.
The next second, that powerful figure appeared and told Long Xiao to come out and die, and actually killed him.
Nobody would believe there's no connection between them.
So when Li Lan appeared before her, Su Yao immediately bowed and clasped her hands in gratitude, saying:
"Thank you so much, young master, for saving my daughter's life."
Li Lan nodded slightly and released that wisp of soul imprint.
Sensing the imprint of her soul, Su Yao's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.
Seeing Li Lan's calm expression, she was relieved and quickly used her divine power to guide her own wisp of soul towards her brow, where it would merge with her own soul.
The moment that wisp of soul imprint completely merged into her soul, making her soul a complete entity, Su Yao felt the emptiness in her heart instantly dissipate, and she completely relaxed, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I'm free."
At this moment, Su Yao felt a mix of emotions, with countless sorrows that she didn't know how to express, but mostly joy.
Looking at Li Lan in front of her, Su Yao hesitated.
How can she ever repay such a great kindness?
In folk tales, when a woman is saved by a man, she will offer herself to him in gratitude.
But if one is truly willing to give oneself to another, it means that one does not care about chastity and is willing to trade it.
But in reality...
If that were truly the case, why wouldn't she have refused when Long Xiao tried to take her by force?
She could have given her virginity to Long Xiao.
Long Xiao can give her more cultivation resources.
It can be described as mutually beneficial.
But she refused because she didn't want to do it that way, and didn't want to gain a better future for herself through such a shameful method.
It's impossible not to repay Li Lan.
She was an ordinary woman with nothing of value on her.
If it weren't for his exceptional intelligence and talent, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this divine disciple level through his own powerful natural abilities.
Otherwise, how could she have gotten this far with such negligible resources?
Despite being a powerful disciple of the gods, he was dressed like a commoner, in coarse linen clothes.
You should know that she is a woman, and naturally she likes to dress herself up to look more beautiful.
But she didn't do that.
Because she devoted all her time to cultivation.
When Luo Ye was visiting the Star Devouring Sect's assessment grounds before, he casually took out ten top-grade spirit stones. In fact, for Su Yao, this was like being the world's richest man.
Since she began cultivating, she hasn't been able to gather three top-grade spirit stones even with all her resources combined.
If she were as wealthy as Luo Ye and had access to endless cultivation resources, she would probably have already soared to great heights, at the very least becoming a powerful Divine Servant. How could she be so miserable today, reduced to someone else's concubine?
"You don't need to feel any psychological burden, and you don't need to think about being grateful."
Li Lan noticed Su Yao's hesitation, shook his head, and said calmly:
"Helping you retrieve your soul imprint was something I promised you. Our relationship was based on an exchange of benefits, so why should I express gratitude?"
