Chapter 616: The Slaughter Route

Taiyuan Daoren felt aggrieved in his heart.

He hadn't even had the chance to say much before you, this Great Venerable, arrived; could he be blamed for not being efficient enough? Did you really expect him to kill everyone present in one strike? He couldn't do that.

"Great Venerable, may I ask why you have taken the seat of Alliance Leader? And furthermore, why you killed a Sacred of our Alliance."

The Great Elder stepped forward first, his expression cold.

"Oh, you must be the current Great Elder of the Multiverse Alliance, right? That is an interesting question you ask. Why did I take the seat of Alliance Leader? Naturally, because you all gifted it to me, plus a tiny bit of strength—hardly worth mentioning. As for that Sacred? He was slandering this Alliance Leader behind my back. According to the rules of the Multiverse Alliance, what harm is there in this Alliance Leader killing him? Could it be that the Great Elder is not convinced?"

Li Heng said with a light chuckle.

The surrounding Sacreds and Venerables were filled with righteous indignation.

To be so arrogant, and to be so matter-of-fact about it—just because you used your own strength to forcibly usurp the position of Alliance Leader, does that mean you are truly the Alliance Leader of the Multiverse Alliance? Delusional!

The Great Elder felt cold in his heart.

The Sacred who had just died was his disciple; he had originally let him come out to speak and act as a vanguard to test what this Li Daoren's attitude was.

As a result, his disciple was now dead.

This was enough to show that this Li Daoren had no intention of negotiating at all. If there was no negotiation, then they could only fight. Even if they couldn't suppress this Great Venerable, they had to at least drag things out until the Alliance Leader returned; otherwise, the Multiverse Alliance would face a catastrophe.

He vaguely sensed that the Multiverse Alliance in a conceptual sense, the entire Great Dao Ark, was slipping out of the control of elders like them, and no matter how they resisted, it was to no avail.

His own permissions were being irreversibly transferred.

Even the source of the Great Dao Ark he possessed was struggling and acting abnormally, seemingly wanting to break free from his control and fly into Li Heng's hands. Once this Li Daoren completed this process, it would truly be a case of the dove occupying the magpie's nest. By then, even if the Alliance Leader returned, he would be unable to reclaim the Multiverse Alliance from this Li Daoren's hands.

But how was he to stall for time?

This was a Great Venerable, after all.

Although they had so many Sacreds and Venerables on their side, and even most of the Forbidden Weapons that hadn't lost control, could they really suppress and hunt down a Great Venerable?

Doubts arose in his heart, then flashed away.

But no matter what, he had to do it!

Otherwise, what face would he have to meet the Alliance Leader?

"Heh, Taiyuan, you really have served a good master!"

The Great Elder sneered aloud. He did not answer Li Heng's words, but instead looked mockingly at the incomparably awkward Third Elder beside Li Heng.

Taiyuan Daoren felt helpless. In his heart, he cursed these two old fellows who couldn't see the situation clearly. Did they not understand that he was saving the country by a roundabout path, temporarily preserving his useful self? Now that the Alliance Leader hadn't returned, what could they use to fight this Great Venerable who was gradually mastering the permissions of the Multiverse Alliance? By smashing their own heads against the power of a Great Venerable?

Had they lived so long and still couldn't recognize the current situation?

"Great Elder, stop talking nonsense. The Alliance Leader just sent a message telling us to do our best to hold off this Great Venerable; he will return quickly through a special channel!"

The Second Elder beside him transmitted his voice to the Great Elder.

"Good, launch the attack directly!"

The Great Elder hardened his heart and secretly transmitted his voice to all the Sacreds, Venerables, and the Forbidden Weapons under his control, locking them firmly onto Li Heng.

"Kill!"

At the order, the Sacreds and Venerables sealed off the eight directions and six unions, the infinite time and space, forming an encirclement and evolving various profound arrays as they charged toward Li Heng.

"It seems you have made your choice."

Li Heng nodded, somewhat pleased.

If one were to compare what was before him to a game, this game had several paths he could choose from. The one with the greatest profit was the slaughter route, killing all the game NPCs.

However, his hatred for these game NPCs had not reached a level where he had to kill them, and out of his own Morality and values, he could not, and would not, step onto this slaughter route.

But now an accident had occurred; the game NPCs were seeking their own deaths, always liking to provoke him and even trying to kill him, so he could slaughter them with a clear conscience!

However, looking at the number of Sacreds and Venerables present, not all of them had participated in this "rebellion."

That was a bit of a pity.

Seeing this, Taiyuan Daoren closed his eyes in helpless pain.

This bunch of idiots—now there was truly no turning back. Whether it was him, or the Great Elder and the others. He just couldn't understand what there was to be so excited about; wasn't it just a temporary change in position? Was it worth truly risking their Life and Death?

At this moment, he seemed to live like an Outsider, never understanding the reason for fighting so desperately, and even if he knew, he couldn't comprehend it.

Of course, the next moment he opened his eyes again, his heart sinking.

Because he discovered that there were also Sacreds and Venerables eyeing him. And in the shadows, he also sensed the lock-on of numerous Forbidden Weapons. Now he had no choice but to fight for his life.

"You two old fellows, what exactly are you trying to do! Making such a big fuss and actually using almost all the Forbidden Weapons of the Multiverse Alliance—are you crazy?"

Taiyuan Daoren roared while fighting back.

He was now somewhat terrified, as never before. Because this was the first time he had been locked onto by so many Forbidden Weapons; both his physical body and his soul were instinctively afraid and trembling.

He might have been able to deal with one Forbidden Weapon, but so many had piled up the equivalent power to a level that was extremely Terror-inducing, reaching the point where a quantitative change was about to become a qualitative one!

He vaguely had a premonition that if so many Forbidden Weapons were fired and combined, they might truly be able to shoot and kill a Great Venerable? Even if they couldn't kill a Great Venerable, they could blast him until not even a scrap remained!

"Great Venerable, the Forbidden Weapons locked onto us in the dark are the biggest threat; these threats must be removed."

He hurriedly reminded Li Heng.

Li Heng casually pointed and killed a Sacred who was attacking him from the shadows, the Source Power arriving in his account, and then said nonchalantly, "Third Elder, didn't I tell you that you have been strengthened? Go on, don't wait for this Alliance Leader to do everything himself."

He gently pushed Taiyuan Daoren with his palm, making him instantly appear outside the encirclement of the Sacreds and Venerables, right beside those Forbidden Weapons, leaving the old Taiyuan Laodao completely bewildered.

He just sent him out of the encirclement?

After sending the person away, Li Heng clapped his hands lightly. After testing their attitude, this old Daoist was truly a nuisance, so he simply sent him out to let himself take action and cut the Gordian knot. Of course, the more important thing was to let him enjoy the experience alone!

Every one of these was Source Power.

"You have done your best; now it is my turn."

Li Heng took a light step, and in an instant, the Void shook. The great array formed by the gathering and encirclement of the many Sacreds and Venerables shattered instantly, and due to the backlash of the array, each of them was not lightly injured.

"Fire the Forbidden Weapons!"

The two elders were shocked and hurriedly gave the order.
