Chapter 529: Chapter 530 harboring this thought, one should already be dead [3rd Update]

Dealing with Fan Yisheng and the other remnants of the Evil Alliance, Wu Tian had no intention of intervening personally. He simply held the little one atop Phoenix’s head, content to spectate.

Liu Tianji and the others were already soaring on their flying swords high in the air, giving them a decisive advantage as they struck from above. When they employed their Daoist Magic in unison, the very sky seemed to shift and change color!

Fan Yisheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "As long as we stand united, what is there to fear?" He believed that by resisting together, they could absolutely withstand the assault. But while he thought this, the other Evil Path Immortal Seekers did not.

"No! We can’t beat them! Let’s get out of here!" The Evil Path Immortal Seekers behind Fan Yisheng were stunned, realizing they were no match, especially now that Xiang Lingtian was dead. In an instant, it was a case of the tree falling and the monkeys scattering.

"What are you doing? Have you forgotten the blood oath you took when you joined the Evil Alliance?" Fan Yisheng raged as he watched them all flee.

"What blood oath?"

"Have you forgotten? We’re the Evil Alliance."

"That’s right, the Evil Alliance! We follow the Evil Path! Why should we bother with things like honor?"

"You..." Fan Yisheng was so furious he spat blood. His face went pale, and then he raised his sword and took his own life.

"My Fan Family has assisted the Xiang Family for generations! I hoped that one day, Xiang Yu’s heir would succeed, and the People of the Dragon Country would no longer call themselves Han!

"But... we lost! What face do I have to continue living in this world?"

With that, he died by his own hand.

Aboard the Phoenix, Wu Tian watched this scene and shook his head. Loyalty is correct, but blind loyalty is a grave mistake.

Wu Tian’s gaze then fell upon the Evil Path Immortal Seekers scattering in every direction. A cold smile touched his lips as he commanded, "Do not let a single one escape!" Most of the Evil Path Immortal Seekers based their Cultivation on harming others, whether by stealing their Spirit Roots or devouring human flesh. Their methods were cruel, disgusting, and malicious.

"Yes, sir!" Liu Tianji and the others nodded. Controlling their swords, they attacked, their flying swords streaking through the air in a deadly volley.

"No!"

"Don’t!"

"Spare me!"

But the flying swords rained down from the sky. The sight was stunning.

This scene completely dumbfounded the hiding Immortal Seekers of the Great Sects. The Evil Alliance, even without Xiang Lingtian, was a first-rate power. Yet, its members were being slaughtered one by one, completely powerless against Wu Tian and his allies. Before long, every last member of the Evil Alliance had been cleanly killed. Not a single one managed to escape.

"They’re too strong. This group is simply too strong." The Golden Twins, part of the group of Gold Immortal Seekers, felt an unparalleled dread. Their Great Sect had always remained aloof from worldly affairs, never interfering in the struggles of the Underground World. Why? Because they couldn’t handle it. In the power rankings, the Righteous Alliance and the Evil Alliance were beneath the Great Sect, but a true battle would have cost the Great Sect a massive amount of its Yuan Energy. Yet now, Wu Tian’s group had accomplished something their Great Sect never could.

"We should go."

"Yes, Wu Tian and his people are completely unscathed. The plan to let the snipe and the clam fight so the fisherman could profit is clearly impossible now." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The Immortal Seekers from the Great Sects all looked to their Honorable Master, hoping he would listen to their counsel. They just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible. In their eyes, Wu Tian was already a Demon God, and angering him would only bring destruction.

"I... I know." The Honorable Master nodded. He was not a rash man, and his eyes were filled with boundless terror. He gave the order to continue playing Volde and sneak away from this place discreetly. However, at that very moment, Wu Tian’s grim voice thundered forth once more. "I say, do the people in the grass down there really want to keep playing Volde so badly?"

This single sentence stunned the Honorable Master and his followers. The Silver Immortal Seekers were terrified. Wu Tian had easily wiped out the Evil Alliance; there was no doubt he could do the same to them. They were scared out of their wits.

The Golden Twins looked at the Honorable Master without speaking, their eyes asking what they should do now. The Honorable Master hesitated, momentarily unsure. Golden Bull then secretly sent a mental transmission. "Our Great Sect’s Art of Concealment is the best in the Underground World. If we claim to be second, no one would dare claim to be first. He might have only spotted those Silver Immortal Seekers, not us!"

The Honorable Master and the other Gold Immortal Seekers considered this and thought it made sense.

"Still want to play Volde?" Wu Tian chuckled from atop the Phoenix. He pointed to several spots and commanded, "Wisdom King’s Fire!"

Little Kirin nodded. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Wisdom King’s Fire erupted in those locations, sending flames soaring into the sky. The air grew unbearably hot. The hiding Honorable Master and his people finally had no choice but to stand up.

"Wu Tian... we have no old grudges or new enmity! There’s no need to be so ruthless. We will leave." They were enveloped by flames, which threatened to consume them at any moment. The Honorable Master and his followers tried several techniques, but they couldn’t extinguish the Wisdom King’s Fire. His gaze toward Wu Tian had already become like one looking at a demon. He never imagined this day would come. Not long ago, when he heard Wu Tian had destroyed the Righteous Alliance, he hadn’t considered him worth his attention. But now? The Honorable Master wasn’t sure if he even qualified to be noticed by Wu Tian.

"No old grudges, no new enmity. True, it seems that way," Wu Tian nodded, but the corners of his mouth still held a mocking smile. "Though you haven’t acted yet, you thought about it. If my fight with the Evil Alliance had left us both grievously injured, you would have emerged to kill me, wouldn’t you?

"Since you had the thought, you must die! Even the slightest intention is unforgivable!"

With that, Wu Tian leaped down from the Phoenix, plunging into the sea of flames. To the Honorable Master’s astonishment, the flames that turned everything else to ash were utterly useless against Wu Tian’s body. While the Honorable Master and the others watched dumbfounded, Wu Tian’s fist, charged with the power of his Fire Spiritual Root, smashed toward him.

The Honorable Master couldn’t react in time. The punch landed, and blood exploded from his chest. "AH!" He let out a piercing scream. He wanted to retaliate, but as fast as he was, Wu Tian was faster. Wu Tian’s other hand shot out, moving faster to grab the Honorable Master’s left arm and yank it harshly.

SPLAT!

In the blink of an eye, the arm was ripped clean off, spraying blood everywhere. "AHHHH!" the Honorable Master shrieked. From this day forward, he would be a one-armed man.

But it wasn’t over.

"Want to watch the snipe and the clam fight so the fisherman can profit?" Wu Tian shouted. "Want to play Volde and ambush me? Did you really think you could pull it off?"

He hadn’t expected the esteemed Sect Hierarch of a Great Sect to be so weak; his strength hadn’t even reached the Crossing the Tribulation realm! Compared to Xiang Lingtian, he was merely on par, and nowhere near the level of Emperor Zhao. Wu Tian was puzzled. Then why did so many people obey this Honorable Master?

With a flick of Wu Tian’s finger, the Honorable Master’s ice mask shattered. Gazing upon the man’s true face, Wu Tian’s eyes narrowed sharply. "You..."
