Chapter 606 - 604: He Has Never Broken His Word

Chapter 606: Chapter 604: He Has Never Broken His Word

Su Huaqi’s words were like a storm, sweeping through the hearts and minds of the Luochen Disciples.

It stirred up monstrous waves in their hearts!

But... wasn’t this also what many in the Luochen Sect were already thinking?

Su Huaqi wasn’t wrong; she had merely voiced what many were thinking deep down.

The Luochen Sect had been established for too short a time. Its shallow foundation was now laid bare for all to see.

Take other great sects, for example—the Holy Mountain!

Even if the Holy Mountain Master were killed, no one could shake the Holy Mountain.

The Holy Mountain’s deep foundation was the very reason it dominated the Six Paths Illusion Realm, its position unassailable.

But the Luochen Sect, without Jiang Jichen, could only await the fate of annihilation.

After all, their enemy was the Holy Mountain—an unimaginably powerful foe with a boundless foundation.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Just then, a smile crept onto Ye Rou’s face as she asked in a soft voice.

"I’ve said what needed to be said, but..."

PFFT!

Su Huaqi was about to continue, but before she could finish her sentence, she discovered a spear hole running straight through her chest.

Her chest had been pierced and had burst open, spraying blood everywhere. The scene was gory and shocking.

It made everyone’s scalps tingle with fear.

Some of the female cultivators of the Luochen Sect even felt a phantom pain in their own chests, making them wince.

"You... You said you wouldn’t blame me no matter what I said! You’ve gone back on your word! You..."

Su Huaqi stammered in terror, her face a mask of pain and disbelief.

Ye Rou replied nonchalantly, "I don’t blame you. But I never said I wouldn’t kill you."

Killing her and blaming her were, apparently, two entirely separate matters.

When Ye Rou chose to be sinister, she was truly terrifying.

Han Qing, Little Haas, and the others felt a chill run down their spines as they witnessed Ye Rou’s methods.

But they also felt a sense of catharsis. It was a satisfying kill, one that allowed them to release a breath of pent-up frustration.

After speaking, Ye Rou’s Silver Spear erupted in a silver radiance that swept over Su Huaqi, instantly blasting her apart.

But no Spirit Infant emerged. Instead, she dissolved into a flash of Spiritual Light, which then reformed into Su Huaqi’s figure.

"Ye Rou, you dare destroy my clone! Just you wait! I will capture you alive and show you how I’ll humiliate you!"

"Furthermore, I give your Luochen Sect ten days. The Holy Mountain will grant a path to survival for any who are willing to surrender."

"Life or death, the choice is yours. Ye Rou, wait until my true self, Su Huaqi, arrives. I will capture you alive!"

"Haha... After all, you are Su Huaqi’s favorite woman!"

Su Huaqi’s image finally dissipated, but her words echoed endlessly in the hearts of the Luochen Disciples.

Of course, a sudden realization also dawned on many of the Luochen Disciples.

They had previously wondered why none of them could ever manage to woo Su Huaqi.

It turned out she was interested in women—and she had her sights set on Sect Master Ye.

’No wonder Su Huaqi was always staring at my mistress, Ye Rou, with that weird look behind her back. That woman is a total pervert!’

Little Haas complained silently to himself.

The vast majority were stunned by Ye Rou’s brutal methods. Filled with fear, who would now dare to suggest surrender?

But then, Ye Rou spoke up. "I killed Su Huaqi’s clone, but not because she said something she shouldn’t have. It was simply because I was in a bad mood, and I didn’t like the look of her!"

Han Qing: "..."

The people of the Luochen Sect: "..."

They were utterly speechless. If Su Huaqi’s true self on the Holy Mountain had heard those words just before the clone disappeared, she probably would have coughed up several liters of blood in sheer rage.

Women, at times, were truly incomprehensible!

Ye Rou’s methods made the Luochen Disciples feel a terror that chilled them to the bone.

Ye Rou’s voice continued, "In fact, Su Huaqi wasn’t wrong. She was right. Therefore, you are free to stay or go. I will not stop you, and no other disciple of the Luochen Sect is to stop anyone either."

"But one thing: we will remember everyone who leaves. If the Luochen Sect is not destroyed, then you will die. We will hunt you to the ends of the earth."

Hearing Ye Rou’s words, everyone was stunned for a moment.

This was especially true for those who had been plotting to secretly lead people away from the Luochen Domain to surrender to the Holy Mountain. They never imagined Ye Rou would be so magnanimous.

As for Ye Rou’s last sentence, no one paid it any mind.

In fact, all those who planned to leave the Luochen Sect sneered at the threat.

Because facing the Holy Mountain, especially now that Jiang Jichen and Xuanyuan Qingyi had fallen, the sect’s annihilation was inescapable.

Therefore, the possibility of being hunted down by the Luochen Sect was nonexistent.

"Sister Ye Rou, this..."

Hua Xiaoling was confused. Thinking Ye Rou had given up on the Luochen Sect, she spoke anxiously.

"Xiaoling, calm down. Trust your Sister Ye Rou. And trust that Jiang Jichen, the Master of the Luochen Sect, will surely return!"

"Don’t forget his words: ’The day I return, I will storm the Holy Mountain Peak!’"

"He has never broken his word!"

Ye Rou’s speech made the hearts of those willing to live and die with the Luochen Sect surge, their blood boiling with passion.

They had already decided. No matter what lay ahead, they would stand with the Luochen Sect.

They also firmly believed that Jiang Jichen, the Luochen Sect Master, was with them in spirit.

Only those who had already decided to leave showed no emotion on their faces, but in their hearts, they coldly mocked the others for their naivety and ignorance.

Never mind that Jiang Jichen was most likely dead. Even if he wasn’t, without the protection of the Six Paths Illusion Realm’s rules, what could he possibly change all by himself?

And so, that day, group after group of people descended Luochen Mountain, left the Luochen Domain, and went to surrender to the Holy Mountain.

In a single day, half the people of the Luochen Sect had left.

Its former prosperity vanished in an instant.

The Luochen Sect felt deserted.

That day, Ye Rou and Hua Xiaoling simply stood atop the peak of Luochen Mountain, gazing into the distance.

They were looking in the direction of the Extinct Spirit River.

"Sister Ye Rou... Little Chen... he must be alive and well, right?"

Hua Xiaoling asked.

"Of course he’s alive. He’s probably off being lovey-dovey with some beautiful woman, carefree and happy as can be!"

Ye Rou replied softly.

Despite her words, her eyes were heavy with worry.

"Mhm. As long as Little Chen is all right, I’d rather he be off being lovey-dovey and happy with Sister Qingyi!"

Hua Xiaoling spoke with an incomparable devotion born from the depths of her love.

Ye Rou didn’t respond, but in her heart, she thought, ’I hope for the same thing!’

「Meanwhile」, deep beneath the Human Emperor Cave Mansion, Xuanyuan Qingyi’s eyes snapped open. It was as if she had been asleep for a very long time, lost in a series of long dreams.

Now, finally awake, the very first thing she saw was a sight that left her utterly dumbfounded.
