Lin Yuan Die

"Hmph!"

Lin Yuan scoffed, "Su Muchen, stop acting! Kill me or dismember me, do as you please!"

He glared at Su Muchen, displaying remarkable fortitude at this moment.

However, Su Muchen caught a faint trace of fear in Lin Yuan's eyes. After all, no one can truly face death with complete equanimity.

"You think acting tough will stop me from killing you?"

Su Muchen looked coldly at Lin Yuan, his eyes flashing with icy light. He had initially let Lin Yuan go, intending to exploit the opportunities that clung to him. After all, a Son of Destiny often carries great fortune, and keeping him alive might bring more benefits. However, Lin Yuan had failed to restrain himself, instead escalating the situation and even seeking to kill him.

Since you, Lin Yuan, are so eager to die, then I shall grant you your wish.

Sensing the killing intent emanating from Su Muchen, Lin Yuan's expression finally changed!

He really wants to kill me!

"Envoy, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion admits defeat! Please, for the sake of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, let's drop this matter!"

Finally, Xuanzhen Daoist, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, couldn't help but speak.

There was no choice. Zhao Yi had already left, leaving him, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master, to step forward and face the music.

"Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"

Before Su Muchen could even speak, Shadow Elder slowly materialized, scoffing, "What insignificant nobodies dare to expect my Young Master to show them respect?"

"A Void Riding Realm powerhouse!"

Xuanzhen Daoist stared at Shadow Elder in horror. He had only felt such pressure from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's ancestors.

At this moment, Xuanzhen Daoist's face was pale, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Old fellow, aren't you going to come out and chat?"

Su Muchen ignored the people on the Spirit Battle Platform. With Shadow Elder around, they couldn't cause any trouble.

"You…" Lin Yuan's eyes widened. He never expected Su Muchen to know his secret, hidden for so many years!

"Sigh…" A sigh echoed, and then, an old man's figure slowly appeared.

"I am the Xuanji Zi, greetings, Young Sect Master."

Although the old man was inside the jade pendant, he could sense everything happening outside.

"Master…" Lin Yuan called out instinctively.

Xuanji Zi ignored Lin Yuan, instead turning to look at Su Muchen.

"This old one is willing to trade my life for his, and humbly requests that the Young Sect Master spare him!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan panicked. This was his strongest trump card!

He couldn't imagine if the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion would still accept him once Xuanji Zi left him.

Everything he had depended on Xuanji Zi!

At this moment, a vicious thought suddenly arose in Lin Yuan's mind: Even if I die with Xuanji Zi, it would be better than this!

Unfortunately, Xuanji Zi didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking. If he did, he would probably be so angry that he would ignore Lin Yuan completely.

"Senior is too serious. Lin Yuan is not worth such a sacrifice from you."

Even ants cling to life, let alone an old monster who has cultivated for who knows how many years?

If Xuanji Zi was truly unafraid of death, he wouldn't have retreated when Su Muchen took out the Soul Sealing Talisman.

That's right, Xuanji Zi retreated directly after sensing the aura of the Soul Sealing Talisman, Su Muchen didn't even have time to activate it!

Su Muchen didn't believe that such a person was not afraid of death!

"After all, he is a disciple I painstakingly taught. As his master, I can only help him this far."

Xuanji Zi looked pained. An unknowing person would probably think he was a good master.

"Master!" Lin Yuan's eyes were now filled with tears. He felt deeply remorseful for his earlier thoughts.

"No!" Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and came before Su Muchen, acting as if he was ready to die, "This was my doing, it has nothing to do with my master. Kill me if you want!"

Su Muchen looked surprised. Why was this Son of Destiny so foolish? Couldn't he see that Xuanji Zi was tricking him? He was truly being sold out and still counting the money for the seller!

Sure enough, just after Lin Yuan said those words, a hint of a cold smile flashed across Xuanji Zi's eyes. He had already calculated this outcome.

"What deep master-disciple affection!" Su Muchen smiled as he watched this scene, but he didn't expose it.

"I am still a kind-hearted person. How about this, you master and disciple can embark on the journey to the Yellow Springs together, you'll have company on the way!"

As soon as Su Muchen finished speaking, a talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Suppress!"

As Su Muchen's voice fell, Xuanji Zi's face changed drastically. He wanted to escape, but his body wouldn't obey.

"Young Sect Master, this old one is willing…" Xuanji Zi was shocked. He never expected Su Muchen to attack him suddenly!

Unfortunately, Su Muchen didn't give him a chance to explain. The talisman in Su Muchen's hand shone brightly, countless spots of light coalescing into lines, tightly binding Xuanji Zi's soul.

"Seal!"

Su Muchen uttered a single word, and instantly, Xuanji Zi turned into a stream of light, shooting into the shimmering talisman.

"Master!"

Lin Yuan cried out. He respected his master very much. Seeing Xuanji Zi "perish" now, he was naturally overcome with grief.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Then die with him!" Su Muchen raised his hand and pointed, and instantly, a beam of light shot from his fingertip towards Lin Yuan.

Without Xuanji Zi's help, Lin Yuan was no match for Su Muchen.

Crack!

This strike directly penetrated Lin Yuan's brow, killing his soul along with him!

Lin Yuan's eyes instantly dimmed. Although his soul had dissipated, he still stared at Su Muchen with a death grip.

"I will not let you go, even as a ghost!"

"I'm not afraid of you when you're alive, let alone when you're dead and turned into a ghost?"

Su Muchen chuckled.

In this situation where the soul is scattered, even if the Heavenly Dao intervened, it would be powerless to reverse the situation. Lin Yuan was only experiencing a final burst of resentment.

Finally, Lin Yuan fell down with a face full of unwillingness. At the moment of Lin Yuan's death, the system's prompt also sounded.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the 'Seize Fortune and Kill Son of Destiny' mission. Mission settlement in progress…"

"The host has perfectly completed the mission, reward 10,000 Villain Points, Golden Treasure Chest *1."

This time, he gained 10,000 Villain Points, and combined with what was left before, Su Muchen now had a total of 12,000 Villain Points!

A smile appeared on Su Muchen's face. His strength would be greatly improved.

"His strength is becoming more and more unfathomable!"

"With this son present, the rise of the Holy Sect is assured!"

Above the void, several phantoms stood in the air, their eyes fixed on the figure standing on the Spirit Battle Platform.

Su Muchen naturally didn't know what was happening above the void. However, when Lin Yuan fell, the faces of the people from the other sects, except for the Cloudwater Sect, were very unsightly.

Especially the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Xuanzhen Daoist stared at Su Muchen with a deathly gaze. If it wasn't for some consideration, he probably would have attacked Su Muchen.

What had the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion gone through to painstakingly nurture Lin Yuan?

Wasn't it to become famous in this battle, and then use Lin Yuan to promote the name of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?

But now, all of this had become a bubble. Zhao Yi suddenly left, Lin Yuan died, and a cloud of gloom shrouded the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Xuanzhen Daoist looked at Su Muchen, who was standing on the Spirit Battle Platform like a God of War, with a complicated expression. He seemed to have made a major decision, and he stood up, gritting his teeth.

"Envoy, I, on behalf of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, apologize to the Envoy, and am willing to offer ten thousand spirit stones as compensation, and humbly request that the Envoy spare the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!"

After Xuanzhen Daoist finished speaking, he bowed to Su Muchen.

As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was silent.
