Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1275: Want to die? I’ll grant your wish!

Li Mountain Island.

It has been over a month since Xiao Yi beheaded the Hall Master of the Temple of Death.

The green mist shrouding the far south has gradually dissipated, though it still occupies most of the southern lands.

However, it is no longer so dense that one cannot see their own hand.

Masters from the Southern Heavenly Holy Land, including Ge Tianhuang and Li Cangsheng of the Sea Pavilion, gathered together.

Ge Tianhuang said solemnly, "The mist covering the far south has dissipated, and its impact on us has lessened. We should send someone in to find out what happened to the Saints!"

"I agree with Brother Ge. It’s time to send someone to look for them!"

"It’s been over a month since the battle ended, and the Saints haven’t returned yet. We need to send people in to investigate. If anything unexpected happens, we should be prepared!"

Everyone spoke up, agreeing with Ge Tianhuang’s suggestion.

However...

Li Cangsheng sighed and said, "Are you all fools? If there’s danger in there that even the Saints couldn’t withstand, what can we achieve by going in except to die in vain?"

"So, are we just going to wait around?"

"Even if it’s useless, we can do our small part..."

"Instead of just standing by and watching the Saints risk their lives for the Qingtian Realm..."

Everyone spoke up, showing their dissatisfaction with Li Cangsheng.

Li Cangsheng snorted coldly and said, "Go if you want, but my Sea Pavilion won’t accompany you!"

The greatest reliance of the Sea Pavilion, Duan Tianya, had already fallen.

He didn’t want to risk his life as well.

Moreover... noveldrama

He was now the Pavilion Master of the Sea Pavilion, having just taken the seat he’d always dreamed of; how could Li Cangsheng risk it for others?

At this moment.

A cheer suddenly came from the crowd: "They’re back, the Saints are back!"

"Welcome the Saints’ triumphant return!"

"I knew the Saints wouldn’t let us down..."

A group of strong cultivators shouted.

Ge Tianhuang and others were filled with joy, soaring into the sky, rushing eagerly towards Xiao Yi and others.

Xiao Yi, Fang Ru, Fang Tianchi, Fang Tianmiao, Zi Feng, Tongtian Ancestor...

Gazing at the people before him.

Ge Tianhuang felt his heart sink, unable to hide his shock and sorrow, yet holding onto a sliver of hope: "Xiao, Xiao Yi, where is the Saint Lord?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, saying solemnly, "Brother Nantian has fallen to protect the Qingtian Realm..."

Boom!

Ge Tianhuang trembled all over, his face turning pale.

He had already sensed it before.

Yet, hearing it from Xiao Yi brought him to the brink of collapse, his body swaying slightly. Ge Tianhuang clenched his fists, "Then the Saint Lord’s remains..."

Xiao Yi looked somber and shook his head gently.

Ge Tianhuang trembled slightly.

Since the creation of the Southern Heavenly Holy Land, he had been by the side of Master Nantian.

He was not only Nantian’s disciple but also saw him as a father.

Over ten thousand years of companionship.

And now...

The Saint Lord Nantian perished without a trace, leaving him struggling to cope.

Xiao Yi gently patted his shoulder, silently offering comfort.

After a while.

Ge Tianhuang gathered his spirits and said solemnly, "The Saint Lord’s heart was to protect the Qingtian Realm. He spent tens of thousands of years guarding the realm from external threats. Now, dying for the Qingtian Realm might be his best resting place..."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Li Cangsheng, trying to understand, asked, "Saint Lord Xiao, may I ask how our Pavilion Master fell?"

Xiao Yi cast a cold glance at him and said, "I killed him!"

"Uh..."

Li Cangsheng trembled all over, his complexion changing suddenly.

He was filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief.

Duan Tianya was killed by Xiao Yi?

Li Cangsheng forced a smile and said, "Saint Lord Xiao, you must be joking. Our Pavilion Master was, after all, the leader of the Human Race’s holy land in the Qingtian Realm, protecting them for countless years. How could you kill him..."

Xiao Yi replied coolly, "Don’t believe me? Ask them!"

Li Cangsheng’s face twitched as he looked at Fang Ru and the others.

Fang Ru nodded.

The Tongtian Ancestor and Zi Feng curled their lips, "He deserved it!"

Fang Tianchi and Fang Tianmiao shrugged, "We probably won’t say anything else, right?"

"..."

Li Cangsheng’s face turned ashen!

Now he finally believed that Duan Tianya was truly killed by Xiao Yi.

While Li Cangsheng was still in shock, Xiao Yi asked with a mocking smile, "What? Do you intend to avenge him?"

"Ah?"

Li Cangsheng was startled, hurriedly waving his hands, "How could that be? Pav... I mean, Duan Tianya must have done something vile, forcing Saint Lord Xiao to slay him. It was a righteous act; how could I seek revenge on you for him?"

"So, it’s not for revenge!"

Xiao Yi nodded with a faint smile and then said, "Since you’re not seeking revenge, the next thing I’m going to announce, you’ll likely have no objections!"

"Hmm?" Li Cangsheng was taken aback.

Xiao Yi said, "Now that the Qingtian Realm faces internal and external threats, I plan to merge the six holy lands to form a new Human Race holy land. The only one left to declare their stance is your Sea Pavilion!"

"A new Human Race holy land?"

"Merging the six holy lands? Hiss, Saint Lord Xiao is indeed ambitious..."

Those around were all astonished.

However, Li Cangsheng frowned deeply, his eyes flashing with hesitation. It had been hard enough for him to ascend to the position of Pavilion Master after Duan Tianya’s fall.

He had not warmed the Pavilion Master’s seat yet and was now being asked to hand over the Sea Pavilion?

After a moment of hesitation, Li Cangsheng said gravely, "Saint Lord Xiao has toiled tirelessly for the people of the Qingtian Realm, which I greatly admire. However, our Sea Pavilion has no intention of merging with other forces. But rest assured, Saint Lord Xiao, our Sea Pavilion is also committed to protecting the Qingtian Realm. Just say the word, and we’ll fully support you!"

He was using retreat as a way of advancing.

He expressed his willingness to support Xiao Yi while making it clear that the Sea Pavilion did not wish to merge into the new holy land.

In the past.

Xiao Yi might not have insisted, but now his formation of the new Human Race holy land was urgent, with the threat of the Hall of Longevity’s resurrection looming and the Xuan Domain Ancient Clan coming.

He could no longer waste any time.

With this thought.

Xiao Yi squinted and said, "Pavilion Master Li, are you sure you want to refuse?"

"What does Saint Lord Xiao mean by this? I simply want to preserve the Sea Pavilion’s tradition. Unless you’re planning to force me into joining your so-called new holy land?"

Li Cangsheng’s voice thundered, trying to garner the attention of other strong cultivators, to make Xiao Yi refrain from rash actions, "I, Li Cangsheng, can die, but I will not let the Sea Pavilion’s lineage end with me. If you insist on forcing us into the new holy land, you’ll have to kill me first!"

"Want to die?"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, flicking his finger as a sword strike turned into a stunning rainbow light. With a boom, it split Li Cangsheng in two, as he looked on in bewilderment and disbelief, Xiao Yi said coldly, "I’ll grant your wish!"
