“Long Chen!!!”
The Immortal Ascension Gate’s experts watched in outrage as their karmic luck was completely absorbed by Long Chen. They couldn’t be bothered to spare any thought as to why Long Chen’s body didn’t explode from absorbing so much energy; all they knew was that the Immortal Ascension Gate was done for. Its name was completely erased from the nine heavens and ten lands. All their glory now only existed in history books.
Long Chen’s divine ring faded. The immense amount of karmic luck in the divine pool was now safely stored within his Dantian’s starry sea.
At first, Long Chen had been worried that his starry sea wouldn’t be able to contain so much karmic luck. He was surprised to see that the Golden Virtue Lotus was actually absorbing all this karmic luck and storing it away.
The Golden Virtue Lotus now had seven leaves, and its sacred aura was growing stronger. This tremendous amount of karmic luck felt like nothing more than a drop in a barrel; there was no need to worry about storage capacity.
Facing the fury and killing intent of everyone from the Immortal Ascension Gate, Long Chen clasped his hands behind his back and coldly stated, “The moment you let the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect instigate you to attack the High Firmament Academy, your fate was decided. If you don’t like it, go ahead and attack. I will thank you for giving me a reason to completely eliminate a threat from the roots!”
Long Chen’s speech instantly woke them up from their fury. They remembered that the person in front of them was a cold-blooded god of death; there was nothing in this world that he feared. The only reason Long Chen didn’t kill them was because he didn’t want to. That was all. They were so weak that Long Chen couldn’t bother killing them. But if they dared to bare their fangs against him, they would be begging him to kill them. In that case, he would be nice enough to wipe them all out.
They gulped down their rage, difficult as it was. Sweat rolled down their foreheads, and it was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
“What a shame!”
Long Chen shook his head with a disappointed expression.
“In that case, I’ll give you one last chance. Send word of what happened here to the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect, and I will still fulfill my promise!”
Long Chen waved his hand. The eight flags fluttered, and they all vanished.
Several breaths’ time passed before someone finally said, “Vice gate master, what should we do? Something this big must be reported to the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect! The gate master must be informed!”
Someone else immediately cried out in terror, “No, we can’t! Consider who Long Chen is! He definitely has eyes on us right now. He’s just waiting for us to send a report! Then he’ll have a reason to wipe us all out!”
Everyone was sweating. If they didn’t report this and the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect learned of it, it would be difficult to escape death. However, Long Chen was definitely watching, and if they did attempt to report, they would be immediately killed.
The vice gate master was still standing there motionless, like a statue. He finally let out a long sigh.
“My friends, thank you for your years of support…”
Everyone immediately stared at him in shock. What was he saying?
“Since things have reached this point, there’s no point hiding things any longer. Li Yifu has used us as a bargaining chip in order to become a Heavenly Sovereign. All of us are sacrificial pawns. If the karmic luck divine pool remained, maybe some of us would get to survive in the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect. But now, we aren’t even qualified to be their dogs. Everyone, the Immortal Ascension Gate is now a matter of the past. We should disband. I wish all of you well and I hope you find a haven for yourselves. Take care!”
With these words, the vice gate master vanished.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. With even the vice gate master, the last pillar of the sect, running off, everyone felt empty. They found it hard to accept.
One elder started weeping. “My respected vice gate master, how could you…”
Suddenly, someone let out a startled cry that interrupted his lament. “The treasury!”
Quite a few people immediately rushed over, only to let out heaven-shaking roars. They cursed furiously.
“You old piece of shit, no wonder you ran off so quickly! That bastard was prepared for this from the start! He emptied the treasury!”
Any sadness they felt over the vice gate master’s departure dissipated. Furious curses split the air, but there was nothing they could do.
Suddenly, chaos ensued. Everyone began to tear down the remaining buildings of the Immortal Ascension Gate for materials. They all hoped they could find something valuable; after all, no matter what happened to them in the future, having some money would be beneficial. It wasn’t long before the entire Immortal Ascension Gate was turned into a pile of rubble. Even the broken gate was dismantled—the stones carved with formation runes were quite valuable.
After that, everyone scattered, fleeing at breakneck speed in all directions. Forget about reporting what had happened; they were actually hoping to avoid meeting someone from the Immortal Ascension Gate.
…
At the same time, Qi Yunao was sitting in a majestic palace, pondering, when the young man with double pupils walked in. There was a strange light in his eyes.
“Master, they’ve entered the Heaven’s Peer Pavilion. They are completely cut off from the outside world. Everyone is proceeding according to plan!”
Qi Yunao slowly opened his eyes and nodded. “Good. In that case, by the time they react, it’ll be too late. Their dog collars are already bound to their necks. With this, we have a batch of Heavenly Sovereign fighters to do our dirty work!”
The young man hesitated for a moment before saying, “Master, although we acted quickly and we did it secretively, I’m still worried. Don’t we need to send some people to watch over them as they transfer the karmic luck? They might pull something funny if no one’s watching.”
Qi Yunao nodded. “I like your cautious character. But there is no need for us to interfere with their karmic luck. In fact, it’s rather inadvisable. A sect’s karmic luck has its own spirituality. If one of us were to go over, they would have the karmic luck of the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect around them, and it would cause their karmic luck to grow wary. In the worst case, their karmic luck would rather dissipate than let itself be absorbed. That is why we cannot interfere in this. We have to let everyone see that they were the ones who voluntarily joined our Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect. Once we’ve absorbed their karmic luck, we’ll help Li Yifu and the others advance, and the world will see the benefits of joining us. We won’t even need to invite them. They’ll take the initiative to become our vassals! If anything, we might even need to come up with some trials to vet out the weaker ones! Don’t worry, it’s already the fifth day. The first batch of karmic luck should be about to arrive!”
The young man smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to praise his master’s wisdom, a panicked voice rang out.
“Sect Master, something’s happened!”
