Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 322

Chapter 322 A Plan to Annihilate the Six Heavenly Venerables!

The chief of the Spirit Clan stood stunned, staring in disbelief at the “himself” in the projection.
He rubbed his eyes over and over, trying to find some clue.
But the figure in the footage matched him not only in appearance and clothing, but even in voice and tone—exactly the same!
Not a single discrepancy!!
He even wondered whether he had sleepwalked there himself!

“Chi…chief, you…you wouldn’t really have betrayed us, would you?”

The other Spirit Clan heavenly venerables widened their eyes and looked at their chief.

“Shut up!!!”

“I…I didn’t, how could I ever betray the Heavenly Palace???”

The chief of the Spirit Clan’s face went iron-gray as he spoke. Did he not know what he had done himself?
Yet now, after seeing the footage, the gazes of the other heavenly venerables toward him and his people only grew colder.

“So they truly were the Spirit Clan—only when it suited them did they pledge to our Heavenly Palace, and before that they had contact with the Heavenly Dao Sect!!”

“I’ve long suspected they were sly and furtive; you can tell they’re no good. Turns out they’re the traitors!!”

“People like these deserve to be cut limb from limb, executed by slow slicing, torn to pieces.”

One by one the heavenly venerables glared at the Spirit Clan chief and his companions, shouting angrily.

“Spirit Clan, do you have anything more to say?”

The Heavenly Lord looked down from above at all six Spirit Clan heavenly venerables.

“It’s a frame!!!”

“Everyone, someone must be setting up my Spirit Clan!!!”

“Yes, someone’s definitely framing us.”

The Spirit Clan chief roared in fury, his voice hoarse.

“Framing? The evidence is clear. Do you think anyone could fabricate this against you?”

“Everyone has seen it—the figure in that footage, if not you, then who could it be?”

The Heavenly Lord sneered, his eyes full of ridicule.

“No! Impossible? Absolutely impossible!!”

“Have you forgotten that the Heavenly Dao Sect has people skilled in illusion? They can disguise themselves as anyone; any one of those present could be an impostor!”

“They must have faked it—this is an attempt to pin the crime on my Spirit Clan!”

The Spirit Clan chief still protested, but the expressions of those around him did not change.

“If it’s a disguise, then bring out someone skilled in transformation and we’ll see for ourselves!”

One heavenly venerable spoke, his voice cold.

“The one most skilled in illusion should be Daoist Darkshadow………”

Another began, then stopped.

The seven heavenly venerables of the Shadow Clan had long ago been wiped out by the Heavenly Dao Sect!!

“Bring them forward—let’s test the power of the soul-slaying spikes on them!”

The Heavenly Lord smiled coldly.

“As you command!!!”

Several Invincible Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Palace moved at once. Each drew a soul-slaying spike and drove them into the five ordinary Spirit Clan heavenly venerables who had been seized.

“Pfft!”

The moment the soul-slaying spikes touched the bodies of the Spirit Clan venerables, a terrifying force detonated.

Their bodies burst apart, their forms and spirits utterly destroyed—completely perished!!!

In an instant the five ordinary Spirit Clan heavenly venerables were slain; that was the power of the soul-slaying spikes!

“No!!!”

The Spirit Clan chief’s eyes went bloodshot as he watched the five venerables of his clan fall dead before him.

Especially his second uncle—the look his uncle gave him before dying.

It seemed to say, Why…why would you betray us???

“Ha ha, ha ha ha, it’s my fault, I regret it!”

“If I had known it would come to this, I should have agreed to join the Heavenly Dao Sect back then!”

“I destroyed the Spirit Clan, I brought this upon you!”

The chief of the Spirit Clan grew somewhat deranged, cursing as he met the cold stares of everyone in the Heavenly Palace.

“The Heavenly Palace, you will die miserable deaths; your ends will be annihilation!!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

“Rumble—”

In an instant, the Spirit Clan chief self-destructed. The self-detonation of an Invincible Heavenly Venerable—what terror that was!

The Great Hall of the Heavenly Palace was instantly shattered; within the formation, the void collapsed inch by inch for hundreds of miles!!!

Surrounding buildings were leveled as well, and mushroom clouds rose into the sky.

The powerful figures scattered to avoid being caught in the blast.

It took at least the time of half an incense stick for the dust and smoke to clear.

Everyone bore wounds; more than a dozen Heavenly Venerables were gravely injured and nearly killed!

Yet the Heavenly Lord revealed a cruel, triumphant smile.

“The traitor is gone. Let us discuss our next great plan for dealing with the Heavenly Dao Sect!”

“Also, throw all members of the Spirit Clan into the Immortal Cauldron to be refined—speed up the cauldron’s assimilation!”

“Report to the Heavenly Lord: all members of the Spirit Clan disappeared last night!!!”

“Damn, so they had their escape route ready all along—the Spirit Clan really were the traitors!!”

………………

At the Heavenly Dao Sect today, a grand banquet was held to welcome Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s joining.

At the feast, cups clinked, fine wine and delicacies were everywhere.

“Daoist Hao Hai, this cup’s for you. With your joining, our Heavenly Dao Sect grows stronger—truly timely aid!” Sect Master Su—Su Bai—lifted a cup of fine wine and toasted Haohai Heavenly Venerable with a smile.

“Heh heh, not at all, not at all……”

“All thanks to Sect Master Su’s capable leadership. I’m merely basking in his glory……”

Though outwardly modest, pride lined Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s face.

At the same time, he received a message from the Heavenly Lord.

The traitor has been eliminated!!!

Meanwhile, Su Bai received a message as well.

The six Spirit Clan Heavenly Venerables are dead!

Without lifting a finger, they wiped out the six Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Palace!!

Su Bai gave a slight smile and looked toward Haohai Heavenly Venerable—this man had undoubtedly done the Heavenly Dao Sect a great favor!

Haohai Heavenly Venerable also smiled at Su Bai, convinced he had dealt a heavy blow to the Heavenly Palace.

Everything needed no further words.
