Chapter 1649

Two sword lights descended from thin air, severing the chains on Zhou Qingmei's body.

Zi Ling suddenly appeared within that sea of thunder, personally carrying Zhou Qingmei up from below and placing her before He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng felt a pang of heartache.

He reached out his hand and stroked Zhou Qingmei's face.

A beautiful smile appeared on Zhou Qingmei's weary face: "Young Master... Young Master... am I dreaming?"

He Pingsheng pulled her into his embrace and said, "You are not dreaming; I have come to save you!"

"Immortals do not dream!"

Hum, hum, hum...

Strands of visible laws flowed from He Pingsheng's body and drilled into Zhou Qingmei's body.

The vitality within her grew increasingly vigorous.

Before long, the girl fell asleep with a flushed face.

She was truly too exhausted.

He Pingsheng handed Zhou Qingmei over to Zi Ling to care for, while he himself cast a glance at Daoist Dajiao.

Just this one look made Daoist Dajiao tremble with fear.

The story of how He Pingsheng, back when he was at the fifth layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, slew the number one person in the Profound Demon Heaven Ruins—the Dao Origin peak-stage Daoist Xuantian—had long since spread throughout the Immortal Realm.

How could Daoist Dajiao, who paid such close attention to He Pingsheng's situation, not know this?

He knew deeply that in He Pingsheng's eyes, he was nothing more than an ant.

"Young Master... my master... he... he..." Yu Mu wanted to plead for mercy, but suddenly realized he had no leverage over He Pingsheng.

On the contrary, He Pingsheng had given him a Supreme Profound Immortal Apricot, allowing his cultivation to break through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.

This kindness was greater than that of his master, Daoist Dajiao.

Therefore, Yu Mu opened his mouth several times but could not speak.

"Immortal Emperor Li Mu should still be down below!" He Pingsheng lowered his head and glanced at the deep well below: "Fellow Daoist Yu Mu, I must trouble you to go down and rescue Immortal Emperor Li Mu!"

"Yes!"

Yu Mu did not hesitate at all, directly transforming into a stream of light and falling into the black circular abyss.

In the Nine-Thunder Sky Well, the thunder light flickered.

After Yu Mu left, He Pingsheng's gaze finally fell upon Daoist Dajiao.

Daoist Dajiao's body shuddered.

"I have no grudge or enmity with you!" He Pingsheng said indifferently: "I do not know why you treated my maidservant this way?"

Daoist Dajiao could not shirk responsibility for this matter at all.

He could only take a deep breath and speak the truth: "It was all my fault for being too greedy, wanting to use this to attach myself to the disciples under the Longevity God Emperor!"

"It is my fault!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "It is good that you know!"

"For the sake of you being Yu Mu's master, I will grant you a dignified end!"

"End your own life, so as to avoid the suffering of that Heart Seal torture!"

"You have seen the situation of the Xiling Biyun Laozu!"

That was correct; Daoist Dajiao had seen it.

At this very moment, the Xiling Biyun Laozu was still twisting and screaming in a state worse than death.

It was easy to imagine that if He Pingsheng were to take action, the next person lying in the void enduring the pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart would be him.

Looking at it this way, ending his own life was better.

"Fellow Daoist He..." Dajiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his throat and said, "I can end my own life, but I have two requests."

Without waiting for He Pingsheng to refuse, he continued: "First, after I fall, may I be allowed to have my soul re-enter the cycle of reincarnation?"

"Second, can you spare my family?"

He Pingsheng nodded calmly: "Very well..."

"For the sake of Yu Mu, I will not take action against your family, nor will I take action against your soul!"

"Thank you!" Dajiao closed his eyes, laughed heartily, and said: "The sky is ten thousand fathoms high, yet I know not that greed is three feet higher than the sky. In the next life, be not a greedy child; better to be an old tree clinging to a cliff branch!"

After speaking, he sat cross-legged in the void, and the infinite Dao techniques and immortal spiritual energy within his body suddenly returned to the heavens and earth at this moment.

A golden light flew out, landed in the void, and condensed into the appearance of Daoist Dajiao.

As a result, the moment this immortal spiritual light emerged, it was fiercely caught by a purple net.

That net was transformed from the Primordial Purple Gold Rod.

Daoist Dajiao in the net was greatly shocked: "You... you... did you not promise me that you would not take action against my soul?"

He Pingsheng said: "I did not take action; it was my artifact spirit that took action!"

"He Pingsheng... you deserve to die..." Dajiao immediately began to curse loudly.

He regretted it so much.

On one hand, he regretted that his own greed had led to today's outcome; on the other hand, he regretted that he had easily believed He Pingsheng's nonsense.

This fellow was actually so fickle?

That... this is bad... my family is in danger.

Slap...

Slap, slap, slap...

The same four Buddhist Heart Seals were fiercely slapped onto his body by He Pingsheng.

Daoist Dajiao, who was screaming in crazy pain, was collected into a magic treasure space by He Pingsheng.

All of this was seen by Jin Ku, who was nearby.

His eyelids twitched: Good heavens, the Young Master is truly ruthless in his actions now.

A bit like my own style back in the day.

After a while, Yu Mu flew up from below, carrying Immortal Emperor Li Mu on his back.

"Young Master... my master!" After Yu Mu set Immortal Emperor Li Mu down, he looked with some surprise at Daoist Dajiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the void.

He Pingsheng said: "He has already fallen!"

"Ah?" Yu Mu felt a sense of desolation in his heart and said: "It is... it is... my master deserved it!"

After three breaths, Yu Mu's emotions became a bit clearer, and he said: "Thank you, Young Master, for giving my master dignity; he ended his own life, right?"

Daoist Dajiao's body was still sitting upright in the void, not looking like a fight had occurred at all.

"Yes!" He Pingsheng did not speak, but Jin Ku, who was nearby, said: "Before your master ended his own life, he spoke four lines of prophecy; I will relay them to you, hoping you can take this as a warning!"

While speaking, Jin Ku recited the four lines of prophecy that Daoist Dajiao had chanted before his death.

Yu Mu wailed loudly in the void.

Jin Ku said: "Fellow Daoist Yu Mu, stop crying; there is a matter I would like to ask for your help with!"

Yu Mu wiped his eyes and bowed to Jin Ku: "Please, Fellow Daoist, give your instructions!"

Jin Ku pursed his lips toward the Xiling Biyun Laozu, who was twisting in the void: "I have a blood feud with this fellow Xiling, and my Young Master cannot bear to involve his family, but I cannot tolerate it!"

"I must trouble Fellow Daoist Yu Mu to make a trip to the Xiling family and ensure... that not even a chicken or dog is left!"

"The Young Master is kind-hearted, but all the karma lies with me, Jin Ku!"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Jin Ku's eyes.

He Pingsheng did not speak!

Yu Mu pondered for two breaths and asked: "Then my master..."

Jin Ku said: "Your master has already entered reincarnation, and my Young Master promised not to involve his family!"

"However..." Jin Ku's eyes shifted and he said: "You must also be mentally prepared!"

"Your master did too much evil; even if my Young Master does not pursue it, I fear there will be others who will ensure not even a chicken or dog is left!"

At this time, He Pingsheng spoke: "Fellow Daoist Yu Mu... I know your wife is Dajiao's daughter!"

"Do not let her know about the events here, not for her entire life!"

"Rest assured, no one will take action against her!"
