Lai Peng took a look at the list of new demands. Surprisingly, they didn''t ask for his life. However, they were even more absurd.
The first demand is something simr to thest time. The lives of the elder and the other two disciples, who plotted against the deaths of Zi Ling''spanions and Kunlun sect''s elder.
The second demand is a handover of every treasure, including the guardian beast and their precious Eye of Talim.
And the final demand is the disbandment of the Wuji sect. All the disciples must join the Kunlun sect and swear their loyalty to the new Patriarch.
As for the elders, grand elders, and Patriarch Lei, they can join the Kunlun sect or they can leave for some other ce they wish.
Mark also didn''t forget to add a postscript (PS) that there is no negotiation here and failure toply with even one of the conditions will lead to the death of every disciple belonging to Wuji Sect.
"Disbandment of the sect and giving away the eye of talim? There''s no way I could ept such demands. I should escape this ce and n for revengeter," thought Lai Peng. He intended to make a fake promise and leave this ce with a teleportation talisman he had in his storage card.
Even if the disciples died, as long as the sect isn''t disbanded, he could still revive it and counterattack with the help of other sects. There''s nock of geniuses in the world anyways, well, atleast in his opinion.
However, he never expected that his enemies didn''t let their guard down.
In what appeared to be perfect timing, just as he was about to speak about how he needed a bit of time to talk with the two grand elders, arge-scale translucent scarlet barrier appeared in the surroundings, imprisoning Mt. Wu and other locations. With Mt. Wu as a center and a 5-kilometer radius, the barrier indeed covered a vast amount of area.
And this took almost every disciple of the 5-circle and above belonging to the Kunlun sect.
As the both of them sensed the barrier and Lai Peng abruptly turn his head in some direction, Lan Ju then said, "If you nning to escape, then, it is toote, Lai Peng. And show even the slightest of resistance, I will take the action. Or you can try killing me, although the oue will only be worse instead of getting better even if such a miracle happens.
This time, we will only give you ten breaths of time to make the decision. Say Yes or No."
After saying what he had to, Lan Ju shifted his attention to the surroundings as the dust was bing thin at a rapid pace.
"I see… it''s that man''s job, huh." Lan Ju ignored Lai Peng and stared in a particr direction.
Soon, all the dust, smoke, and mildly harmful gaseous substances in the air were purified as all of them were sucked into some kind of ck hole created by Grand Mage Wang Chin.
After clearing out the air, Wang Chin looked in the direction of Lan Ju and Lai Peng with a hardened expression, "Patriarch Lai, get away from there…" he shouted as he was about to cast a powerful magic spell.
Lan Ju raised his right eyebrow and raised his palm. As ether energy gathered at the top of his palm, hemented without addressing specifically anyone, "It appeared like some people never learn their lesson. Mercy is useless on such idiots."
Wang Chi''s incantation only made it through halfway but Lan Ju has already finished conjuring a lightning spear, shocking the grand mage.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Just as he was about to throw it toward the grand mage of the Wuji sect, Lai Peng shouted, "I agree to your peaceful terms. Please don''t kill anyone."
He then quickly turned his head and addressed the mage, "Grand Mage Wang, you too back down. We lost the war."
"Patriarch Lai…" Wang Chin raised his voice but as Lai Peng sharply stared at him, the grand mage put the staff on the ground.
Lan Ju nodded and threw the lightning spear toward the sky. It traveled for a few seconds and exploded, giving a signal to Mark to not attack for a while. It was what they discussed earlier.
Patriarch Lai Peng then looked back at the grand mage, "Tell Grand Elder Du that he is free from his punishment. Wuji Sect is going to cease to exist and merge with the Kunlun sect. I also want you to inform everyone to submit their treasures given by the sect so far."
"Including the staff of talim?" Wang Chin asked as he nced at the exquisite staff in his hands.
"Everything," replied Lai Peng with a serious expression.
"Okay but I have a request. Can you please…" Wang Chin gestured for the patriarch toe near him.
Lai Peng asked Lan Ju''s permission before walking toward the grand mage. The zheng didn''t do anything as he was being confident to take action before theyplete any unexpected move.
Little did either Lan Ju or Lai Peng expect that as soon as the patriarch reached the grand mage, thetter swiftly threw out an object that looked simr to that of an hourss but in the size of a palm.
In that very instant, everything froze around Wang Chin, including Lan Ju. However, unlike others whose time waspletely frozen, Lan Ju could see his surroundings. His eyes could move. "A treasure that controls the Time?"
Meanwhile, Wang Chin jumped high and swung down his arm which was covered in ether energy.
It was so sharp that Lai Peng''s arm was cut off from his body and fell to the ground.
Wang Chin quickly grabbed it with his left hand and raised the staff with his right hand and unleashed a skill.
A circle with mystical drawings appeared below the frozen patriarch, releasing a concentrated beam of purple mes from underneath the target''s foot.
Lan Ju saw the high intense mes consume the flesh and skeleton, leaving behind nothing but ash on the ground.
"The purple mes…" Lan Ju walked through his memoryne for a short while before he said, "I remember myte master telling me about this Azu n of the ne of fire and ice. The n members had the mes in purple color, often called the cursed mes or demonic mes… Just now, I sensed the demonic presence in yours. You are from the Azu n, aren''t you?"
Wang Chin raised his head and let out a smile.
