Chapter 404 That Cruel Yet Magnificent Sea of Stars
Just as Lin Que was scanning his surroundings with a serious expression, the man in black suddenly shouted coldly!
"come over!"
A moment!
Ji Changhai, who was frozen in mid-air, immediately flew backwards towards the location where the others were.
Ji Changhai's eyes widened in horror. He tried to struggle but to no avail. He was completely out of control, and his heart was filled with immense fear!
the first time!
This was the first time he had encountered such an unknown situation.
The strength of these two suddenly appearing individuals was beyond his imagination. He simply couldn't understand why such powerful figures would exist on the Fengtian Continent.
You must know, he's at the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
Apart from the deceased Great Demon King, according to his own understanding, he should be one of the most powerful people on the Fengtian Continent at present.
But why...
However, when Lin Que saw Ji Changhai flying backwards, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes quickly searched his surroundings.
After scanning the area, Lin Que was suddenly shocked!
really!
Ji Hengyu and the middle-aged man who had previously been stationed in Tianyou Valley had also disappeared without a trace.
"Speak, why did you betray the human cultivators?" At this moment, the man in black asked in an icy tone.
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Ji Changhai's heart, and he actually asked, "If I tell you, will you let me go, senior?"
Before the man in black could speak, Taibai suddenly sneered.
"Ah!"
"Is that possible? At most, we'll just leave you with a whole corpse."
"Don't you even think about what will happen to those cultivators who died tragically at the hands of the extraterrestrial demons if we let you go?"
A moment of silence fell over the room upon hearing this...
The cultivators around him looked dejected. Some of them were close friends, their closest Daoist partners, or their most beloved elders from their sects. Many of them had already perished in this calamity.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned to Ji Changhai, filled with killing intent!
Feeling the intense killing intent emanating from the crowd around him, and the cold eyes of the two terrifyingly powerful men, Ji Changhai's aura dissipated, as if he had given up struggling and hope, and his waist unconsciously bent down.
He then explained to everyone why he had become like this, and why he had sought refuge with the extraterrestrial demons and helped them escape their predicament.
It turns out that all of this originated from a demon-slaying festival a hundred years ago.
At that time, Ji Changhai was facing the same Great Heavenly Demon. He originally thought that with his strength and the fact that it had been sealed, it would be easy to kill it.
Unexpectedly, he was outmaneuvered by the powerful divine sense of that great demon, causing his aura to corrode him, leaving him no choice but to obey it.
Life and death were entirely in the control of that great demon.
There was no other way. Ji Changhai was already a powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and he cherished his life. Moreover, he might be able to break through to that realm one day, so he didn't want to die.
Helpless, he had no choice but to submit to the Great Demon and secretly plan to help it escape.
Moreover, the Great Demon had promised him that after it was freed, it would help it break through to the Mahayana realm, which could be considered a form of repayment.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that the old man was simply afraid of dying.
At this moment, the gazes of everyone looking at Ji Changhai contained not only killing intent but also a hint of disdain!
"What do you ants know?!" Feeling these contemptuous gazes, Ji Changhai's face turned pale and then purple, as if he felt humiliated, especially by these beings who were like ants in his eyes. He immediately shouted, "Do you think I want to?!"
"I am a Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator!"
"He was the one with the best chance of reaching the Mahayana realm, how could he possibly die so young!"
"I merely did what any normal cultivator would do!"
"Besides, the cultivation world is full of deceit and treachery; isn't that all normal?!"
"What right do you ants have to look down on me?!"
Before Ji Changhai could say anything more, the man in black interrupted him...
"you are wrong!"
"It's true that the cultivation world is full of deceit and treachery, but when it comes to the life and death of the entire human race, everyone will step forward!"
Do you know where your ancestors are right now?!
Do you know why the Sealed Heaven Continent was protected and sealed?
"Do you know how many geniuses, whose cultivation surpasses yours and who are just one step away from attaining immortality, have sacrificed themselves without the slightest hesitation for the future of humanity?"
"Have you ever seen that cruel yet magnificent sea of stars?"
The series of questions from the man in black completely baffled Ji Changhai!
Moreover, apart from some senior sect elders and sect leaders, even many cultivators present were puzzled.
Even the elders and sect leaders only knew a few partial facts.
However, Huixuan had already explained why the Fengtian Continent was sealed when the Demon-Slaying Gathering began, so that was not what puzzled everyone.
But where did those lost ancestors go?
And then there was the vast, cruel yet magnificent starry sea that the man in black described...
“No, you don’t know, and you didn’t see it.” At this moment, the man in black slowly spoke, “So, you should apologize to them.”
After saying that, the man in black immediately pointed a finger at Ji Changhai.
"Wait...wait...uh!!!"
Upon seeing this, Ji Changhai was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to say something, his soul began to dissipate, and his life force gradually faded away.
When the man in black withdrew his hand, Ji Changhai fell silent.
Plop~!
Ji Changhai's corpse fell from the void into the Netherworld Sea, creating a splash.
But soon, the surface of the Nether Sea gradually calmed down and returned to its previous tranquility.
At this moment, everyone once again felt the power of the man in black. A tribulation-crossing expert was like an ant in front of him, who could be killed with a slight wave of his hand.
Fortunately, the two men were not their enemies.
Thus, this sudden calamity and crisis has been temporarily resolved.
As for why it's said to be temporary, after all, there are still some remnants of the Tianyou Valley. Since they chose to betray the human race, it's impossible to let any of them go.
Among the crowd, Xue Ningshuang, Huixuan, and several other sect leaders and elders seemed to nod in tacit agreement at this moment.
They summoned their respective sect disciples, as if giving instructions.
This is the cultivation world, after all. Although everyone usually acts like a good person, don't blame me if you make a mistake. Rather than letting your resources go to waste, I'd rather let them benefit me.
"By the way, young man surnamed Lin," the man in black said with a smile, looking at Lin Que. "I noticed you seemed hesitant to speak to me earlier. Is there something you need?"
"Senior, it's like this..." Lin Que said with a smile upon hearing this.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying and awe-inspiring sword aura erupted from Lin Que's body!
But to everyone's surprise, it caught the eye of the man in black!
