MTL NOVEL Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Kill with Heart, Thoroughly at All Costs!
“We… we admit our guilt!”
Several sect masters said, shivering with fear and without hesitation.
Compared to enduring the torture of the enforcers, they would rather suffer significant losses!
After saying this, the few of them fell into utter despair.
They felt utterly humiliated, having not only failed to take revenge but also suffered heavy losses!
Perhaps seeking revenge this time was a mistake in itself!
“Wait a moment!”
At this moment, Zhou Tong suddenly said, as he stepped in front of the Blood God Sect’s master and locked eyes with him.
“What… what do you want?”
Despite possessing formidable cultivation skills, the Blood God Sect’s master felt a chill run down his spine as he faced this young man, as if a wild beast from the ancient world was staring at him.
“I saw you that day.”
Zhou Tong hinted, causing the other to shudder.
“Back then, in front of the Chief Enforcer, you all said you recognized your mistakes. Why then return to disturb my sect again?”
Elder Jin also looked over, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
“I… I…”
He felt as if he had turned into a mute, his eyes darting back and forth as he searched for a suitable excuse.
“Quickly speak! You are a renowned sect, could it be that someone has coerced you?”
Upon hearing this, the other’s eyes brightened, as if grasping at a lifeline.
“Yes, yes! We were coerced, the culprit is that old scoundrel!”
The Blood God Sect’s master immediately understood, pointing a finger at the deputy master of the Jade Purity Sect.
The other four sect masters also reacted, pointing at the Jade Purity Sect in unison.
Better to take down an ally than not take down an enemy at all, especially since the other wasn’t entirely innocent.
This revenge plan had been orchestrated solely by him; he could not shirk responsibility.
“You… you dare…”
The deputy master’s eyes turned blood red, and he trembled uncontrollably.
According to the enforcers’ rules, coercion was not considered, and the prime culprit must be dealt with!
Originally, the six sects shared the blame, thus it wouldn’t cause significant harm, but now he had become the main offender, and it wouldn’t be easy for him to escape.
He looked at Zhou Tong with blood-red eyes, feeling as if his insides were about to explode; this time, he was completely doomed.
“You little beast, how ruthless you are! Do you truly intend to eradicate your former sect?”
“Are you begging for mercy from me?”
Zhou Tong said condescendingly, immediately provoking the other into a frenzy, feeling deeply disrespected!
“Ah ah ah… What do you think you are? Don’t look down on me! I am the deputy master of the Jade Purity Sect, a being above countless others; people should respect me and fear me! How dare you!”
“Above countless others, what a grand statement!”
Elder Jin laughed coldly, striking the deputy master, causing him to spit out blood.
“It seems you still don’t understand your position. Any words you have will be spoken in Sky Prison; we have plenty of time!”
A golden lock flew out from Elder Jin’s long sleeve, easily restraining the deputy master and suppressing his entire cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, the once imposing figure had turned into a prisoner, his face a dead gray.
“Little brother, I’ll take my leave now. The compensation from these sects will be sent shortly.”
Elder Jin said to Zhou Tong, feeling emotional. Truly, someone favored by the Chief Enforcer could easily manipulate these people.
“Thank you, Elder!” Zhou Tong smiled and said, “Just send the compensation from the five major sects. As for the Jade Purity Sect’s compensation, I am willing to offer it all to reward the enforcers who have worked hard for me!”
Hearing this, Elder Jin’s expression remained unchanged, but he slightly nodded, “I have noted that!”
“You little beast, you are indeed vicious!”
The deputy master trembled with fear; this meant that the enforcers, to gain the maximum benefit, would surely drain him of all his value—he was completely finished!
The other sect masters also felt their limbs go cold; they had thought the deputy master of the Jade Purity Sect was already treacherous enough, but they hadn’t anticipated this kid was ten times more sinister!
At this point, the decapitation plans of the major sects had utterly collapsed.
After watching them leave, Zhou Tong’s gaze settled on the middle-aged woman who had testified earlier.
Before he even had the chance to speak, she knelt down first.
“I greet you, young master. My name is Liu Yan. I have been pursued by enemies and have been wandering; I only allied with that group to seek refuge. I beg you to show mercy and give me a chance to live.”
Zhou Tong’s eyes flickered, then he smiled.
“We are about to go on a long journey, and we happen to need someone to watch the gate, so it will be you.”
After saying this, he pulled out a token and tossed it to her; with this token, she could enter and exit the Great Formation.
“Thank you, young master!”
Liu Yan expressed countless thanks, bowing deeply.
Upon returning to the depths of the sect, Zhou Tong saw the three women waiting for him.
Previously, Zhou Tong had instructed them not to show themselves. Now that the storm had settled, all three finally relaxed.
“The person you left behind, I feel something is off,”
Mu Ran Ya said directly, “There is a faint hint of sinister energy around her, just like…”
“Heavenly Demons, that is Heavenly Demon energy!” Zhou Tong immediately provided the answer, causing the three to change color.
“Then you dare to give her the token? Isn’t this inviting a wolf into the fold?” Mu Ran Ya asked worriedly.
Heavenly Demons are the common enemy of all humans; once discovered, they must be exterminated immediately.
“I can only say she was once a Heavenly Demon; now, most of her demonic energy has dissipated, and she has started to transform into a human.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap.
The few of them found it hard to believe; they only knew that humans could fall to become demons but had never heard of Heavenly Demons transforming into humans.
Moreover, in the eyes of Heavenly Demons, humans are nothing more than food; how could they demean themselves to transform into human form?
“Do you want to keep her by your side for close observation?” Mu Ran Ya suddenly asked.
“Exactly, I have a premonition. This woman will bring us a great surprise.”
Zhou Tong said with a sinister smile; in his previous life, he had slaughtered countless Heavenly Demons, not knowing whether this time he had hooked a big fish… or a treasure?
…
As night fell, the dim moonlight illuminated the Jade Purity Sect, adding a touch of desolation.
“Damnable little bug! I couldn’t kill you! Your life truly is hard!”
Tang Qi was furious in his residence!
He had thought that with the six sects joining forces, Zhou Tong would surely meet his demise, but unexpectedly, there was a formation master backing him, allowing him to escape a calamity.
“Junior Apprentice Brother… what have you done to me? Why do I feel something strange in my body?”
Chen Ling’er said beside him, her expression pained as she struggled to twist her delicate body, seemingly resisting some intense desire.
Hearing this, Tang Qi became even angrier.
The Infatuation Insect he had planted in Chen Ling’er had already taken effect. This was originally a perfect opportunity to possess her.
But ever since Zhou Tong had kicked him in the groin, a certain function of his had temporarily vanished, which made his hatred for Zhou Tong surge even more.
“This is all your fault! If you dare to make me unhappy, I will make your woman betray you!”
His eyes turned bloodshot as he attempted to manipulate the insects he had planted in Long Lingyun and the Little Demoness days earlier.
…
In the Joyful Union Sect, the four masters and disciples were looking at the constantly writhing Infatuation Insect with various expressions, except for Mu Ran Ya, whose face was nearly frozen.
“Give me the insect! I want that lecher to pay the price!”
