Chapter 449: Demon Suppression Pagoda

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

After receiving their orders, Weizhi and Weilan were about to chase after Fu Young.

At that moment, two hands suddenly appeared and pressed down on their shoulders.

"Wait!"

The Ninefold Elixir Gate Master looked at the Sect Master of the Celestial Truth Sect in confusion.

"When did you arrive? Why are you stopping them?"

The Sect Master of the Celestial Truth Sect stroked his beard, his gaze deep and solemn.

"We arrived when that formation first appeared. Come now, you and the other cultivators should have seen how he destroyed those demons. That ominous aura filled with destruction, those demonic three eyes, and the blood-red waning moon that appeared when his third eye opened..."

"Don’t you and everyone else think that he is the person connected to the Blood Moon Calamity?"

"The Destruction of the Heaven Origin Realm... Could it be that he was the one who destroyed the Heaven Origin Realm?"

Hearing this, Tang Qicen of the Heavenly Void Sect spoke in disbelief.

It would have been better if he had remained silent. The moment he spoke, the Sect Master of the Divine Armament Sect glared at him and coldly snorted.

"Hmph! The Heavenly Void Sect certainly teaches its disciples well. One of your disciples actually took advantage of the chaos to ambush the person who helped everyone achieve victory in these battles. What excellent discipline."

"Alas, that disciple wasn’t my personal disciple. The Heavenly Void Sect has so many people that having one or two rotten apples is only natural. Besides, that guy have been immediately executed her on the spot. I have already let him off the hook for killing one of my sect’s disciples without authorization, purely out of consideration for Young Master Xiao."

Sect Master Tang Qicen frowned as he spoke.

Hearing this, the Ninefold Elixir Gate Master immediately sneered.

"Heh... So Sect Master Tang had actually arrived long ago. You didn’t help resist the Demon Abyss Clan, but instead stood by and watched, allowing Young Master Xiao to be harmed. Like master, like disciple."

"Hmph! Weren’t you only concerned with running away as well? Truly, women and petty people are difficult to deal with..."

Tang Qicen’s face flushed red as he glared at the Ninefold Elixir Gate Master and cursed at her.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Lu Wuchen frowned and spoke in a somewhat stern tone.

"Enough. This is not the time to argue. This concerns the safety of the Heaven Origin Realm. We must not let sentiment cloud our judgment."

"Are you saying you want to target his disciple immediately after Young Master Xiao has just disappeared?"

Hearing this, the newly appointed Island Master of Yingzhou Celestial Isle immediately spoke up.

"If that’s the case, Yingzhou Celestial Isle will immediately withdraw from the alliance."

"Fanghu Mystic Isle will do the same."

"The Ninefold Elixir Gate will do the same!"

"The Divine Armament Sect will do the same!"

"The Ten Thousand Beast Sect will do the same!"

"The Grand Array Sect will do the same!"

Faced with a wave of opposition, the Sect Master of the Celestial Truth Sect looked extremely grim. He said angrily, "Do you actually doubt the future that our sect’s three elders saw at the cost of their lives? Do you think their prophecy was false?"

"It’s not that we don’t believe it!"

Under the pressure, the leader of a second-rate force could not endure it any longer and spoke in a low voice.

"Ah..."

At this moment, Lu Wuchen sighed.

"It’s not that we don’t believe the three elders. However, Young Master Xiao is a person of benevolence and virtue. Now that he has disappeared without a trace and has only this one disciple, don’t forget that Young Master Xiao also has a grandfather who is extremely protective of his own family. Given all these circumstances, even if this concerns the safety of the Heaven Origin Realm, we cannot act as we did in the past, where we would rather kill the wrong person than let a potential threat go."

"Then what does Sect Master Lu propose we do?"

At this moment, Venerable Jian Li, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

No one had expected the usually cold and taciturn Venerable Jian Li to speak. Lu Wuchen was slightly stunned before saying, "I think perhaps we should ask Young Friend Fu to temporarily stay in the Demon Suppression Pagoda for a while. Once the calamity involving the Demon Abyss Realm has passed and the great calamity of the Heaven Origin Realm foreseen by the three elders of the Celestial Truth Sect has also passed, we can release him from the tower."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, not knowing how to respond.

Although Lu Wuchen had spoken politely, repeatedly calling it an invitation to visit, everyone knew that the Demon Suppression Pagoda was not a pleasant place.

It had been transformed from an immortal artifact belonging to the ancestors who had migrated here during ancient times. Inside were not only members of the Demon Abyss Clan captured during the great war in their original realm before the migration, but also countless powerful demonic cultivators captured after their arrival, cultivators who had gone berserk during cultivation and could no longer be saved, and many others.

It could be said that over the years, countless cultivators from both righteous and demonic paths who had been sentenced to imprisonment in the Demon Suppression Pagoda by the Nine Great Sects had been locked inside.

Those who entered had always been unable to leave.

The others did not believe the Holy Sword Sect would change this rule for Fu Young.

Yet if they refused, and he truly destroyed the Heaven Origin Realm, then these people who had failed to act would become sinners condemned for all eternity.

But could they really imprison Young Master Xiao’s disciple in the Demon Suppression Pagoda just like that?

Lu Wuchen had long been accustomed to everyone’s silence.

Wasn’t that what the so-called Nine Great Sects had always done?
