Chapter 3281: Fate Worse Than Death
“Yes.”
Xu Rui smiled bitterly. “Fellow Daoist Li Hun and the others have endured Five Poisons Palace for so many years and have long been holding back their anger. When they heard about this, they were enraged and a conflict broke out with the people of Five Poisons Palace.”
“Dao Supremacy Yang Mo even attacked and severely injured the envoy of Five Poisons Palace.”
Chen Qianhe said, “Actually, Dao Supremacy Yang Mo has already held back and did not harm the lives of everyone from Five Poisons Palace. However…”
Five Poisons Palace had dominated Baldachin State for many years and its status was unshakable. Even if the envoy’s life was not harmed, this was equivalent to challenging the dignity of Five Poisons Palace.
To begin with, the envoy of Five Poisons Palace had intended to make things difficult for Chaos Palace by asking for a 90% Source Stones payment.
Now that everyone from Five Poisons Palace was severely injured, how could Five Poisons Palace let the matter rest?
“Did the Dao Supremacies of Five Poisons Palace step in?”
Su Zimo asked.
Xu Rui nodded. “A young master of Five Poisons Palace, Utmost Heavenly Supremacy Zhu Ling, came knocking with two Dao Supremacies. Dao Supremacy Yang Mo was no match for them and… Sigh.”
“Is he still alive?”
Su Zimo asked again.
“He’s still alive.”
Xu Rui shook his head with a pained expression. “However, it’s a fate worse than death.”
Chen Qianhe said, “Dao Supremacy Yang Mo had not advanced to the Dao Hegemony realm for long and might not have been able to release his strongest combat strength. Coupled with the fact that the Dao Supremacy he was facing was skilled in the Poison Great Dao, Dao Supremacy Yang Mo was careless and was tainted by poison.”
Yang Mo was defeated by a single Dao Supremacy.
On second thought, Su Zimo was not surprised.
After all, Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others had once cultivated in the major chiliocosm and experienced the baptism of killing.
As for Yang Mo and the others, they cultivated in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram the entire time. Even when they sparred against one another, they knew their limits and exercised restraint. They lacked experience in life and death battles.
It was only natural that they would be disadvantaged against true experts.
Xu Rui said, “Palace Lord, Young Master Zhu Ling has already arrived at the Chaos Hall with Yang Mo and the others. He’s extremely hostile and there’s a high chance that he’ll use them to make things difficult for you.”
“Oh.”
Su Zimo replied casually, “Pa.s.s down the order immediately. Gather all the cultivators of Chaos Palace here.”
“Palace Lord, what are you doing?”
Meng s.h.i.+ could not help but say, “Even if all of us from Chaos Palace join forces, we won’t be able to defend against the might of the Dao Supremacies.”
“Palace Lord, you didn’t see it personally. Dao Supremacy Yang Mo was the only one who lasted a few more rounds against that Dao Supremacy of Five Poisons Palace. Li Hun, Cai Wei and the other Utmost Heavenly Supremacies were restrained by a single move from the Dao Supremacy of Five Poisons Palace!”
“There’s no need to say anything else. Just do as you’re told.”
Su Zimo did not explain and merely said indifferently.
Xu Rui and the other two exchanged glances and turned to leave without hesitation.
Su Zimo arrived at the Chaos Hall.
At that moment, there were already many people gathered in the hall. Most of them were Heavenly Supremacy experts he had brought out of the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram.
The Heavenly Supremacies had angry expressions, but they did not dare to say anything and tried their best to suppress it!
Apart from these people, there was another person sitting on the main seat of the hall.
The person was young and wore vermilion robes with a frivolous expression. He was sipping hot tea leisurely and his fingernails shone with a gorgeous color—it was clear that they were poisonous!
Unexpectedly, this should be the young master of Five Poisons Palace, Utmost Heavenly Supremacy Zhu Ling.
Behind this person stood two expressionless old men. They were both Dao Supremacy experts at lesser mastery of the Dao Hegemony realm.
The person on the left was dressed in a black robe with his wide sleeves folded in front of him and his hands hidden within.
The person on the right wore a red robe woven with dense spiderwebs and stood with his hands behind his back. He should be of the same race as Utmost Heavenly Supremacy Zhu Ling.
There were seven people lying in front of the three of them, all of them from the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram.
Among them were Dao Supremacy Yang Mo and two Utmost Heavenly Supremacies, Li Hun and Cai Wei.
At that moment, the seven of them had purple faces and twitched all over. They spat out white foam and their eyes were bloodshot—it was clear that they were enduring immense pain!
“Let me die!”
“Kill me!”
The other four could not hold it in any longer and roared continuously.
Yang Mo and the other two could only hold it in and let out gurgling sounds from the depths of their throats.
Young Master Zhu Ling looked down at this scene from above and smirked in enjoyment.
The more pain these people were in, the happier he was.
“Master!”
When they saw Su Zimo enter the hall, everyone from Chaos Palace shouted with indignant expressions.
Su Zimo nodded.
When Yang Mo and the other two heard the word ‘Master’, they turned around with difficulty and glanced at Su Zimo before lowering their heads.
“Oh my!”
Young Master Zhu Ling did not stand up. He clapped and smiled. “So this is Palace Lord Chaos. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Palace Lord Su, you won’t mind me sitting in your seat, right?”
Young Master Zhu Ling asked with a smile.
Su Zimo ignored his question. Arriving in the hall, he pointed at Yang Mo and the others and asked indifferently, “How should we settle this?”
“Fufu.”
Young Master Zhu Ling chuckled. “Seems like you want to negotiate with me, Palace Lord Su? Sure thing. I hate fighting and killing the most.”
“I spared their lives because I wanted to give Chaos Palace a chance.”
In reality, Yang Mo and the others were currently poisoned and were enduring the pain of being bitten by ten thousand spiders—it was a fate worse than death!
Young Master Zhu Ling said, “Palace Lord Su, I’m sure you already know the reason for this. Your subordinates are truly audacious. They injured people from Five Poisons Palace. That’s absolutely unforgivable!”
“Could you have instigated this?”
Young Master Zhu Ling changed the topic and his killing intent increased exponentially. As long as Su Zimo’s reply was incorrect, he would attack immediately!
“It’s none of Master’s business!”
Right then, Yang Mo gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He spat out a few words word by word, “It was all on me. I’ll take responsibility for my actions. Don’t implicate others!”
“Hmph!”
Young Master Zhu Ling said coldly, “Do you think you’re the one who decides who should be implicated?”
“Let me tell you, even if a dog raised by Five Poisons Palace is injured by you, people of Chaos Palace will have to pay with their lives!”
“Since you guys injured 18 people of Five Poisons Palace, Chaos Palace has to pay with the lives of 1,800 Heavenly Supremacies!”
Since Five Poisons Palace received such a provocation, they naturally had to kill to establish their might!
Furthermore, they were just killing a bunch of weeds!
“You!”
Yang Mo was enraged and his expression changed continuously. He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt even more pain.
After becoming a Dao Supremacy, he wanted to make use of this opportunity to establish his prestige in Chaos Palace. To think that he would implicate others from Chaos Palace instead.
Li Hun and the others regretted their actions as well. If not for the fact that they could not control themselves, they would have committed suicide on the spot!
Su Zimo could roughly guess their thoughts and ignored them. Letting them suffer a little could be considered a punishment for them.
Everyone from Chaos Palace clenched their fists internally. They were indignant but could not say anything.
They knew that the current Chaos Palace could not fight against Five Poisons Palace at all and could only endure any humiliation.
At that moment, many cultivators of Chaos Palace, including Xu Rui and the others, rushed over from various places and were silent when they saw what happened in the hall.
Chaos Palace had just begun to show signs of improvement. To think that it would suffer such a heavy blow.
The lives of 1,800 Heavenly Supremacies—that was equivalent to crippling half of Chaos Palace!
Furthermore, no one knew which Heavenly Supremacies Five Poisons Palace would choose to target.
Everyone in the hall was in danger.
“Yang Mo and the others are indeed in the wrong.”
Suddenly, Su Zimo spoke in an indifferent tone, “Chaos Palace will naturally punish them for their mistakes. However, since when was it in the place of outsiders to interfere?”
The moment he said that, the hall fell silent!
