“I only have one question.”
Zhao Xuan walked slowly over to Nangong Tian. He stood less than a meter away from him and asked while staring at him, “Who are Chu Yuan and I to you?”
The Chu Yuan he mentioned was one of Royal’s three Sovereigns, Sovereign Yuan.
“We’re… friends,” Nangong Tian spoke after a moment of hesitation.
“Friends?!” Zhao Xuan scoffed when he heard that answer. “So to you, friends are to be betrayed?!”
“Perhaps I’m more selfish.” Nangong Tian looked sincere. “I’m sorry.”
“Do you know what you are to me?” Zhao Xuan asked while staring at Nangong Tian.
Nangong Tian said nothing.
“Before you showed up here today, you were my teacher, brother and good friend. You were the person that I admired most in my life… The reason I could become one of Royal’s three Sovereigns was because I have always treated you as my role model and made you my life goal and inspiration.”
“I even wished that this white-robed senior saved you instead of me when I discovered that you were killed when the Black Abyss attacked. To me, you’re Royal’s rock and foundation. As long as you were around, Royal would definitely rise up once again.”
“Old Chu even joked with me previously that if there were spies from the Black Abyss in Royal, it would either be him or me, and that it was impossible for it to be you. I even told him that I agreed with what he said.”
“I truly never thought that you would appear here today. To be honest, I would have been happier if you died when the Black Abyss attacked. At least your status in my heart wouldn’t have changed. You’d still be my teacher, brother and good friend, as well as the person that I admire the most in my life…”
Nangong Tian remained silent. He understood how Zhao Xuan felt, but now that he actually heard Zhao Xuan saying it, he felt even more guilty. At this moment, he did not know how to respond.
“I’m sorry…” His apology this time sounded more sincere.
Zhao Xuan did not even glance at him. He turned around directly and looked at Lin Huang. “I’m done with what I have to say.”
Lin Huang looked at child-face and swollen-face. “Is there anything that you two would like to add on to what Nangong Tian has said?”
The two of them stayed silent as well. Clearly, they did not plan to betray the Black Abyss.
“In that case…” Before Lin Huang was done speaking, another blood-colored gleam shot forth from his sleeve. It penetrated swollen-face’s abdomen directly.
Just like what happened to child-face, the Odyl in his body was completely drained.
When his Odyl was drained, he sensed a strong force pulling him toward the white-robed man directly.
Child-face flew along with him at the same time.
Almost instantly, they arrived in front of the white-robed man.
Their scalps felt numb when they saw him in front of them.
They had witnessed what he did to silver-face with their very own eyes. Naturally, they knew what he was going to do to them very soon.
However, their bodies were completely tied up by Divine Telekinesis threads. Given that the Odyl in their bodies had been drained, they had no strength to resist him at all.
“I’ll give the two of you one final chance. Whoever reveals the Black Abyss’ secrets will have their Kingdom remain and live.” Lin Huang’s tone was full of persuasiveness. “Though it has to be something that Nangong Tian hasn’t revealed.”
The two remained silent.
It was not that they did not want to speak up, but Nangong Tian had told him everything there was.
The remaining secrets were things that would trigger the brand directly if they were revealed.
Lin Huang waited for a moment. Seeing that they did not speak up, he did not bother to waste more time.
“Seems like you guys won’t do it.”
He lifted two fingers. Divine Telekinesis spread out and, from between their brows, soon caught hold of the Kingdoms in their bodies. He began to pull them out.
Child-face and swollen-face had no strength to fight back at all in the presence of Lin Huang. They could only watch as he pulled their Kingdoms out.
This time, Lin Huang slowed down the retrieval of their Kingdoms on purpose. It was something that would normally only require a couple of seconds, yet he dragged the process until it lasted for over a minute.
On one hand, he was torturing them on purpose.
After all, each second of this intensely torturous for the two.
On the other hand, he was also giving them time to betray the Black Abyss.
However, in the end, they did not provide any information about the Black Abyss by the time their Kingdoms had left their bodies completely.
Child-face and swollen-face both looked devastated beneath their masks.
It was not that they were stubborn and unwilling to reveal any information, but Nangong Tian had prohibited them from doing so by revealing everything so thoroughly. He did not leave any information behind for them.
After Lin Huang obtained their Kingdoms, their auras began to plummet. Within the blink of an eye, they had dropped out of heavenly dao-level.
Sensing their auras falling, Nangong Tian glanced at them from the corner of his eye expressionlessly. He was secretly rejoicing that he had made the right decision.
He could almost imagine that having their Kingdoms removed was only the beginning.
They would have to face the torment Zang Kong and Wu Ning went through next.
Meanwhile, he would be the only Black Abyss member who would walk out of this palace alive.
As he was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly realized that there was a figure before him.
It was Zhao Xuan!
“What are you doing, Zhao Xuan…” Nangong Tian panicked a little. “The senior agreed to let me go in one piece.”
“I did in fact agree.” Lin Huang nodded, but then continued, “However, I can’t do anything about whether he agrees or not.”
How could Nangong Tian not realize that he had been tricked when he saw a white flame rising in Zhao Xuan’s hand?
“Senior, give me a chance to fight fairly at least?”
His entire body was tied up with Divine Telekinesis threads right now. Even if his Odyl was at his peak, he could not move his limbs at all.
Not to mention fighting back, it was hard for him to even dodge. He had completely target practice for Zhao Xuan.
Naturally, Lin Huang ignored Nangong Tian’s request.
In terms of combat strength, Nangong Tian was already at heavenly dao-level rank-9. He was three ranks higher than Zhao Xuan.
In terms of overall ability, if they were to fight, Zhao Xuan only had a 30% chance of winning.
Naturally, it was impossible that Lin Huang would let them fight fairly.
Zhao Xuan did not plan to give him a chance at all. His aura skyrocketed. “Stop struggling and I’ll give you a quick death.”
“Zhao Xuan, for the sake of our friendship, let me go.” Knowing that it was useless to beg Lin Huang, Nangong Tian changed the target of his approach.
“Did you think about our friendship when you led people from the Black Abyss to kill Old Chu and me?! Since I’m still alive, I must avenge Old Chu!”
As soon as Zhao Xuan was done speaking, he slammed the white flame in his palm on Nangong Tian’s chest.
Nangong Tian wanted to dodge the attack, but it was futile.
Although Lin Huang did not completely immobilize his body, as he was tied up by the Divine Telekinesis threads, he could only exert strength on the tips of his toes. His speed was restricted significantly.
Zhao Xuan’s attack targeted the middle of his chest.
Nangong Tian could only activate the Odyl in his body to defend it without using any strength.
However, Zhao Xuan slammed a second and then a third time… More slams came continuously, each harder than the last.
As Nangong Tian defended against his attacks passively, the Odyl in his body was dwindling quickly.
Within five minutes, his Odyl was drained completely.
Nevertheless, Zhao Xuan had yet to stop. He slammed with his full force again.
This time, Nangong Tian’s body was set ablaze by the white flame.
Without the Odyl to fight fairly, he could only watch his body be enveloped by the white flame.
In the end, he was burnt into ashes as he shrieked in rage.
Zhao Xuan mumbled softly as he stared at the pile of ashes.
“A life for a life.. You’ve paid off the debt you owed Old Chu.”
