Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"A pardon? You've been waiting for this?" Chu Yuan looked at Huo Zhu with a half-smile;

"So what if it is? Since you know, why don't you release them now!"

"I didn't receive it..." Chu Yuan shook his head and looked at Luo Lei: "I've thought about it, so let's kill her first... We can investigate the evidence slowly."

"good!"

"Wait! You dare..." A chilling, soul-crushing sensation surged up again...

Secretly, Luo Lei asked telepathically;

"Are you really going to kill me?"

"I don't know much about the amnesty decree. What are the consequences of killing him?"

"If it were you, there wouldn't be any consequences, at most you'd lose some points."

As for whether he received it or not... there's no need to think about it. Canglang is definitely paying attention to this side. When Luo Lei is really about to kill, the amnesty will naturally come!

"And what about you? You know I can't kill him," Chu Yuan asked. He was currently close to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and at most he could fight against martial artists at the Transformation realm.

For martial artists at the Myriad Paths Realm... it's truly a case of being willing but powerless;

Even if the opponent is completely suppressed, his attacks cannot break through the defense!

He did indeed perform a blood sacrifice to the Lord of the Demon Flower when he was on Demon Earth;

But the Lord of the Demon Flower won't resist... If Lorene were to suppress Fire Nagisa into that state, it would be no different from her doing it herself.

"As for me... I won't die anyway." Lorelei said, still wanting more.

"Then why are you asking me?" Chu Yuan said speechlessly, implying that he wouldn't die, but the consequences would be severe.

Lorelei was just someone he called over to help. How could she possibly listen to him in everything when it involved her own huge interests?

It can't be because he's handsome and got love-struck...

Lorelei bluntly said, "You have enormous potential! You might become someone like the city lord someday!"

"As long as I don't die, with this favor still in place, won't you bail me out in the future?"

"..."

Wow, it turns out it was an investment...

"You're a Sequencer, after all..." Chu Yuan was speechless. Shouldn't Sequencers all feel that they are no less than others?

Why is Lorelei like this...?

"Just the fourth tier," Lorelei said calmly. "Precisely because I am a Sequencer, the more I see, the more I understand that the path of martial arts is... as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Just like a child who has just begun to explore the path of martial arts, daring to dream that one day he can reach the nineteenth realm;

Even the strongest martial arts masters at the seventeenth level can only aspire to reach the eighteenth level! Even the weakest among them…”

The human race spans endless territories and countless epochs of time, with the Sequencers being born and falling in droves.

Even now, there are only a little over a thousand people at the eighteenth realm...

Chu Yuan felt conflicted and was unwilling to continue discussing this topic.

He changed the subject: "Tell me, why did the pardon end up in Canglang's hands? Why go through all that trouble instead of just giving it to us directly?"

"Because he doesn't dare to 'not see' it, while we dare... not to constantly monitor the Spirit Realm, and it's not illegal." Lorelei smiled: "So even if he and Huozhu don't get along, he doesn't dare to hide the pardon order."

The time left for us is to squeeze every last drop out of Huozhu;

Anyway... as long as he doesn't die, that's fine.

"..." Chu Yuan sighed again, "Is there still a good person left?"

Why are all the people in the universe so mean...?

Although Lorelei is one of our own, she doesn't seem to fit the description of a "good person" at all...

"Should I kill him or not? Canglang can't stop me."

"Never mind." Chu Yuan shook his head. If he had the ability to kill, he would naturally have no objections.

As for Huo Zhu's wealth, it's all mine after killing him anyway.

But he didn't want to incur such a huge favor by implicating Luo Lei...

Lorelei nodded, her expression unreadable: "Even if we don't kill him, we can't let him find out."

Otherwise, he would have definitely held out until the very end.

"I have a way... help me suppress him!"

......

After being subjected to the Blood Sea Refining Heaven Array for two days, Huo Zhu finally gave in.

In truth, he knew that since Chu Yuan and the other man hadn't killed him on the spot, it was highly likely they wouldn't.

But I really couldn't take it anymore...

His origin, his soul, and his understanding of the laws were all being continuously sucked away by this strange array!

If this continues, his martial arts career will be over!

He gets involved in everything and acquires so many resources, isn't it all for the sake of martial arts?

Once they are abolished, what use are those resources?

It's like a lecherous man who has collected countless beautiful women, but he's about to become a eunuch...

"You guys are ruthless... I admit defeat!"

After Huozhu and Zhemeng handed over all their wealth, Canglang arrived "coincidentally" and showed Huozhu the pardon in front of his murderous gaze.

Chu Yuan also understood why Huo Zhu was so fearless after learning that Qian Lan had failed to find him.

He must have thought of this pardon long ago...

Signed personally by a high-ranking member of the Lei Lu Si clan, anyone who is not a traitor can have their life saved!

As for the source of the pardon...

It is because the ancestors of Huozhu made great contributions when they opened up the Eighth Battlefield!

"So he's a descendant of heroes..." Chu Yuan's gaze was somewhat complicated;

"Chu Yuan! Don't be so smug! I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Canglang interrupted him with a laugh: "You may be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment! Huozhu, you defied Lei Lusi, and you need to serve five thousand years on the spot... Come with me."

"snort!"

Huo Zhu snorted coldly and flew towards the Hall of Stars on his own.

In the Hall of Stars in the Four Extremes Star Region, he is in charge of foreign affairs, while Canglang is in charge of criminal justice. In other words, he is about to fall into someone else's hands!

Canglang dared not cause trouble for him without reason, but if he really angered him... he was afraid he would suffer a lot.

Canglang didn't care about Huozhu and said with a smile, "Would you two be willing to take a look at my prison?"

Chu Yuan was also curious about the prison, but he was too tired at the moment, so he said, "Let's do it another day."

"Then I'll be waiting for you anytime." Canglang nodded, then chased after Huozhu into the distance;

Chu Yuan and Luo Lei also left, leaving only Zhe Meng with a gloomy expression;

He was stripped of his position and had to repay his enormous military merits all by himself!

This is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune...

He wasn't mentioned in the pardon, but Huozhu was the mastermind behind the trafficking of the Mirror Clan.

If the mastermind gets away scot-free, but the accomplices are sentenced to death... it's undeniably ironic!

Therefore, Lei Lusi's punishment for him was to forfeit an astronomical amount of his military merits!

You are forbidden from leaving the Eighth Battlefield until all debts have been fully repaid; otherwise, you will be considered a traitor!

Although I lost all my wealth and was burdened with a huge debt, at least I survived...

.......

Elsewhere, Chu Yuan and Luo Lei began dividing the spoils;

Lorelei is rolling in money and looks down on ordinary poor people.

But Huo Zhu, no matter how you look at it, is nowhere near being poor... Luo Lei took out a suit of armor and tossed it to Chu Yuan;

"Your armor needs replacing too;"

"Divine-grade, Myriad Star Armor..."
