189: Conquer the traitor!

Chen De and the other Myriad Transformation Realm disciples stood rooted to the spot for a long while before they recovered.

The power of the domain was terrifying!

If Elder Zi Hui Elder hadn't acted in time, those lower-ranked Myriad Transformation Realm disciples would have truly died on the spot.

Moreover, under the special effects of Xun Lang Elder's domain, they probably wouldn't even leave behind corpses after their deaths.

On the other side, under Xun Lang Elder's attack, Huang Que was already at the end of his rope, struggling to hold on.

However, everyone watching could see that Xun Lang Elder was deliberately holding back.

Otherwise, with such a vast disparity in strength, Huang Que should have died long ago.

As the main target, Huang Que naturally noticed this.

It was precisely because of this that it made him so tormented.

This feeling of wanting to kill him, yet not intending to kill him, only letting him constantly approach the brink of death, was very uncomfortable.

However, he also seemed to understand something.

Thus, under Xun Lang's barrage of attacks, Huang Que couldn't help but plead bitterly, "Your Excellency, can you spare my life? As long as you spare my life, I'll do anything!"

Xun Lang remained unmoved, continuing his relentless assault on Huang Que.

This made Huang Que suspect that he might have guessed wrong.

The other party had no intention of letting him go, only wanting to slowly torment him to death.

But in the current situation, besides begging for mercy, he had no better solution.

Helpless, he could only desperately endure Xun Lang's offensive.

Seeing Huang Que's injuries worsen and him finally unable to resist, Xun Lang then eased his offensive.

It was then that Xun Lang spoke, taunting, "Weren't you the one who said you'd rather be a shattered jade than a whole tile, swearing to fight to the death and never surrender?

What, now you're thinking of enduring humiliation and carrying a heavy burden?"

His tone was full of sarcasm.

But Huang Que felt nothing upon hearing this; having lived for tens of thousands of years, the harm of words had long since become negligible to him.

Let others say what they want, as long as it doesn't affect his interests.

However, it was precisely because of this that Huang Que confirmed the other party truly didn't intend to kill him.

If that was the case, what was the point of dignity if he could live?

The other party obviously wanted to subdue him and then recruit him.

As for the purpose of recruiting him, what did that have to do with him?

As long as it was a case of 'a dead daoist friend is better than a dead poor daoist,' he could accept it.

So Huang Que righteously replied, "At first, I indeed intended to die to show my resolve, the kind no one could stop!

It was only later, after clashing with Your Excellency, that I discovered.

Your Excellency's every move and stance exuded a magnificent righteousness, unlike an evil person.

Upon seeing this, I, Huang Que, was relieved and decided to pledge allegiance to you."

Then, gritting his teeth, he disregarded Xun Lang's attacks and knelt down on the spot, "Please, Your Excellency, accept me! Greetings, my lord!"

After speaking, he even kowtowed heavily to Xun Lang again, "Please accept my bow, little one!"

At this moment, Xun Lang's attack had already reached Huang Que.

It struck directly at his vital point, appearing closer and closer.

Huang Que, with his head bowed to the ground, remained completely unmoved, quietly awaiting the outcome.

Finally, the attack stopped 0.0 millimeters from Huang Que's vital point.

It braked in time, with not a single trace of power leaking out.

Xun Lang Elder, who had cultivated to the eighth level of the Void Union Realm, still had a good grasp on the control of his power.

"Why didn't you dodge?"

"Because I'm not afraid!"

"Why aren't you afraid!"

"Because..."

...

Huang Que, still prostrate on the ground, let out a huge sigh of relief; finally, he had passed the test.

Now, he could finally survive.

He was a Xuan Saint after all, and a sixth-level Xuan Saint at that.

He was a decent combat force anywhere, so it wasn't too strange for the other party to accept him.

Thus, Huang Que no longer played tricks and followed Xun Lang to the group of Elders.

Whether intentionally or not, Xun Lang specifically kept Huang Que close to the Elders and far from the disciples.

As soon as he arrived near the group of Elders, Huang Que immediately knelt down, knowing his place.

Recruiting Huang Que was actually the intention of the three Elders.

Initially, using natives to deal with natives was a common trick for conquering small worlds.

It was still the same saying: no one understands how to deal with their own people better than their own people.

Traitors who cling to life and fear death exist in every world, and precisely such people often hold high positions.

And often, these traitors are also better at dealing with their own people.

No one likes a traitor, yet no one dislikes a traitor!

These people indeed played an indelible role in the Four Profound Heavens' enslavement of those small worlds.

Of course, these people would not be kept in the end.

No controller of any world would allow strong individuals to emerge among the natives.

In the end, they would be gradually replaced, both openly and covertly.

And now, although the Qiu Xian Hall members' goal was to exterminate all living beings.

They were new to this place and unfamiliar with the terrain.

Having a local, powerful native to lead the way would definitely greatly improve their efficiency.

After all, according to the discussions of the four Heavenly Imperial Realm experts, their active time was only half a month.

Within this half-month, they had to achieve their objective for coming here.

Resources and slaughter, neither was dispensable.

Under such circumstances, such a local traitor and spy was very necessary.

When the time came, after the task was done, they would just kill him.

But before that, an extra layer of insurance was needed.

Suddenly, Huang Que looked around, and for some reason, he felt a sense of ill will.

It was as if, as if these guys were going to do something bad to him later.

Then Qian Zhen, one of the three Elders, stepped forward and approached Huang Que, a wide smile on his face.

Looking at Qian Zhen Elder's benevolent smile, Huang Que's ominous premonition deepened.

He couldn't imagine what this smiling man was going to do to him.

He wouldn't have specifically come over just to show him goodwill, would he?

Then, he felt an immense pressure that rendered him unable to move.

This pressure was very similar to the method used by the guy who had just beaten him.

However, in terms of power, this one was clearly much stronger than the previous one.

Not only that, but its characteristics were completely different.

The one who beat him primarily gave him a feeling that he was constantly dissipating.

But this current one was suppression, confinement, a restraint that left him immobile.

Suddenly, Huang Que panicked again; could it be that this one wanted to kill him, which was why he was specifically brought here?

He was about to beg for mercy but discovered, to his horror, that he couldn't speak at all.

He also realized that this power seemed to target only him.

The people around him seemed to be completely unaffected.

This was completely different from the previous one!

Then, Qian Zhen Elder placed his palm on Huang Que's forehead, between his eyebrows.

Subsequently, the power that enveloped Huang Que's body seemed to begin to dilute.

No, not dilute, but converge and flow towards his glabella.

The pressure on his body lessened, but Huang Que's feeling of being unable to move intensified.

Qian Zhen still looked at him with a smile, without a trace of any other expression.

This was Qian Zhen Elder's domain—the Ten Directions Restriction!
