387. Chapter 387: Who said this Venerable One would just surrender like this?

Among the few, Natasha felt this intense pressure, and a feeling of fear welled up in her heart.

Her face was pale, but she was still gritting her teeth and persisting, her body trembling slightly beyond her control.

The other Elders of the Ziwei Pavilion, seeing this scene, were also so excited they couldn't speak, looking at Ziwei Xianzi with faces full of worship.

"As expected of Ziwei Xianzi! A single move is a guaranteed kill; even if the Su Family Young Master is famous, what of it? Before the Xianzi, he is nothing but an ant!"

One of the Elders rubbed his hands together in excitement, his agitation overflowing in his expression.

"That's right, that's right. Without Su Chen, the Su Family is nothing. We can even unify the entire Tianxuan Continent and become the true number one sect!"

Another Elder was also uncontrollably excited, as if they had already imagined a beautiful future.

"That's right, that's right. Don't waste time with this brat. Anyone who blocks the Xianzi's path must be killed without delay!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Keeping such useless trash around for even a moment is an eyesore to the Xianzi!"

Those Elders were impassioned, as excited as if they had obtained a peerless cultivation technique; despite their advanced age, their faces were red and their necks thick as they acted like little fanboys and fangirls for Ziwei Xianzi.

Over the course of several hundred thousand years, ever since Ziwei Xianzi discovered the sect known as Ziwei Pavilion, she had intervened in its affairs, and now she had become the actual power-holder of Ziwei Pavilion, whose word was law.

That their Ziwei Pavilion could reach this point today was due in no small part to the contributions of Ziwei Xianzi.

One must know that the one inside the Eight Trigrams Array was Su Chen, who had been causing quite a stir lately, first wiping out a major sect and then saving the entire Western Wasteland single-handedly.

For someone who sounded like a legend in the outside world to fall so easily into the hands of Ziwei Xianzi, how could they not worship Ziwei Xianzi?

"This is a spiritual body manifested by this Venerable One. Once it is completely formed, that will be the moment you are completely devoured."

Ziwei Xianzi smiled slightly, then continued, "It is your honor to serve as the artifact spirit to nourish this Venerable One's Dharma Treasure."

"Ziwei, things are not as you think. Give us some time; perhaps you have a different view of Su Chen."

Although Yi Zhuyue was now at the Half-step Great Emperor realm, she was helpless against such a targeted cage set by Ziwei Xianzi.

But Yi Zhuyue could not just watch as Su Chen was killed by Ziwei Xianzi.

Fortunately, the two of them had once had some friendship.

Yi Zhuyue walked forward, her gaze filled with a bit of persuasion as she looked at Ziwei Xianzi.

As soon as Ziwei Xianzi saw Yi Zhuyue's face, the expression on her face stiffened slightly, and immediately after, she turned her head away.

"I have nothing to say to you."

Ziwei Xianzi said coldly, "No matter how great the Dragon Great Emperor was, that is already in the past. This brat now only has the cultivation of the Great Saint Realm; you don't need to be hindered by his reputation and stay with him."

Regarding Yi Zhuyue's situation, although Ziwei Xianzi had not heard specific news, she was clever enough to immediately guess that Yi Zhuyue had likely submitted to Su Chen.

Yi Zhuyue did not expect Ziwei Xianzi to think this way; she was rarely choked for words, not knowing how to begin explaining.

"It is not too late for you to regret it now. Once I kill this villain, I will naturally report to the Master and give you a chance to make amends for your faults."

Ziwei Xianzi paused, and as if having made a great decision, she looked at Yi Zhuyue earnestly.

After all, Yi Zhuyue's situation was not exactly a secret; it was easy enough to deal with on her end, but that person was never one who was easy to talk to.

Matters of the lower realm would likely all be reported truthfully to the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Yi Zhuyue pursed her lips; seeing that Ziwei Xianzi was the same as she had once been, her heart was filled with a bit of sorrow.

For a moment, she did not know how to explain the matter of Su Chen to Ziwei Xianzi.

Su Chen patted Yi Zhuyue's shoulder to comfort her, signaling that she did not need to worry too much. "Don't worry. Since they are your friend, I will show mercy."

Su Chen's gaze was earnest as he looked at Yi Zhuyue seriously.

Yi Zhuyue had just been worrying about this; after all, everyone had witnessed the fate of Lanbo, and although that was for the sake of the people and acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.

But putting herself in Ziwei Xianzi's shoes, Yi Zhuyue could not bear it at all.

Ziwei Xianzi saw that everyone was ignoring her, even discussing their own escape route in such a grand manner.

She couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself that Su Chen was truly arrogant and stubborn even when death was imminent.

"Yi Zhuyue, I will ask you one last time: do you still insist on being with Su Chen? If you remain so obsessed and unrepentant, then don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship."

Ziwei Xianzi looked at Yi Zhuyue quietly, a flash of reluctance in her eyes, but more of it was determination.

If it were in the past, Yi Zhuyue might have hesitated, but now things were very different from before.

In the process of getting along, he had already seen Su Chen's character traits, and had even unknowingly... fallen in love with Su Chen.

Furthermore, she was already carrying Su Chen's own flesh and blood, so she absolutely could not leave him.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhuyue's gaze gradually became firm.

She took a large step forward, blocking in front of Su Chen, her eyes filled with an invincible willpower.

"I absolutely cannot betray Su Chen. My heart is set; you don't need to persuade me anymore. As for what happens next... it's up to you."

By the end, Yi Zhuyue couldn't help but turn her eyes away, not wanting to look at Ziwei Xianzi's disappointed expression.

Along this journey, Yi Zhuyue had always had a premonition that it might be Ziwei Xianzi.

But now that she saw her in person, the heavy stone in her heart had finally landed, but it was truly painful.

She never expected that before they parted, the two were still good friends, and now they were already standing in opposing positions.

But their choices were different, and Yi Zhuyue respected Ziwei Xianzi's decision.

Likewise, Ziwei Xianzi also respected Yi Zhuyue.

"Since that is the case, then don't blame me for not considering our old friendship."

Ziwei Xianzi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

Her voice was light and soft, carrying a deep sense of exhaustion.

Su Chen had been standing there quietly the whole time; hearing Ziwei Xianzi's words, he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

"Who said I would just surrender like this?"

As the words fell, a sound of piercing through the air arrived, and immediately after, it swept heavily toward Ziwei Xianzi.

Ziwei Xianzi's pupils constricted slightly, and she instinctively wanted to dodge.

But she was supporting such a massive array that she could not move even a fraction, so she took this blow head-on.

The originally unstoppable spirit body dissipated in an instant, completely vanishing into the air.

Clutching her chest, Ziwei Xianzi spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately turned her head, and looked toward the direction from which she had been attacked.

That massive bird also transformed into human form at this moment, appearing as an old woman; although somewhat aged, she was not ugly. (End of chapter)
