Chapter 892 - Xie Haiyang Strikes! (2/2)

“Could I have more time to get the money ready…” The right-hand elder grimaced as he asked hesitantly.

“Does that mean that you can’t afford the fees right now? That’ll make things a lot easier. Honestly speaking, I’m really bothered by the rules set up by my family. It’s clear that you’re dealing with a troublemaker, but you still have to go through the trouble of justifying your actions.” Xie Haiyang’s face had been warm and smiling up to this point. But now, after having spoken, his eyes started flashing dangerously. The look in his eyes was like daggers—gleaming and sharp.

“You can’t afford the fees of becoming a valued customer of the Xie family, and yet, when you saw the Peace Token of the Xie family, you still continued to attack the holder of the token instead of retreating a hundred light-years away from him.”

Those words were like a blast of lightning, and color fled from the right-hand elder’s face instantly. He stepped back once again, his right hand speeding through its hand seals as terror rose inside his heart. He tried to explain himself.

“I…”

“You have two hours to make arrangements for your funeral. After the two hours are up, kill yourself. Remember to have someone send your head to the Xie family,” Xie Haiyang said coolly as he ignored the right-hand elder’s attempts to explain himself. Xie Haiyang’s voice was firm and assertive. His words seemed final. He then turned towards the abyss and appeared ready to leave.

His words were like a million lightning bolts crashing upon the right-hand elder. The right-hand elder’s mind buzzed with shock and numbness as he shuddered violently. His eyes reddened instantly. The resentment that he had felt during his encounter with Wang Baole and the feeling of being forced into a corner had driven him to the edge of madness. He was on the verge of a complete breakdown.

Violence and madness colored his eyes. He had re-established contact with the man-made Eternal Star and had confirmed that the young man had come alone. His low level of cultivation wasn’t some attempt at deception. It was real. This discovery emboldened the right-hand elder. Besides, he knew… that he was left with no other choice than death now that the Xie family had come knocking at his door. If that were indeed the case… he might as well try his luck and fight for his life!

Becoming a wanted man on the run was preferable to being driven to his death!

A murderous glint appeared in the right-hand elder’s eyes at that thought, and he roared.

“You’ve pushed me too far!” He raised his right hand as he spoke and pointed. The man-made Eternal Star began to quake violently. An immense power filled the air, then rushed towards Xie Haiyang. The strength of the attack seemed capable of destroying every living creature in its path immediately, turning both their body and spirit to instant dust.

Xie Haiyang appeared unfazed at the sight of the approaching attack. He didn’t even turn around. He simply coughed softly. An illusory hand stretched out from his back instantly and pointed lightly at the savage-looking right-hand elder.

The right-hand elder’s eyes widened, and he shuddered. Before the violence and madness in his eyes could fade away, before his mind had caught up and realized what had happened, his body… started to shatter. Within the blink of an eye, it caved in and turned into a cloud of dust. His Divine Soul didn’t escape unscathed, turning to dust alongside his physical body!

He hadn’t been killed by an external force. Instead, the planet inside his body had shattered. The result was a backlash. Because of that, the power of his own planet tried to consume him. There was no way he could have avoided or retaliated against such a backlash!

With his death, the initial command he had issued lost its effect. The seal over the Earth Spirit civilization weakened and then vanished instantly.

Throughout it all, Xie Haiyang didn’t turn his head and look back. He continued walking towards the abyss, speaking mildly as the teleportation portal was activated.

“You must have been tired of living. You just gave up the final precious two hours of your life.”

As the right-hand elder passed away and the seal over the Earth Spirit civilization vanished, Wang Baole, who had been seated inside his sphere of light, opened his eyes wide. He could sense the change over the Earth Spirit civilization. His eyes flashed. He rose to his feet and, with a wave of his hand, dispelled the light from the Peace Token. He gazed into the cosmos with intense light in his eyes.

“The seal has disappeared…” Wang Baole muttered to himself. Xie Haiyang’s warm voice rang out from the Peace Token in his hand at that moment.

“Brother Baole, your problem has been solved. Didn’t I promise you that I’d break the seal within two weeks? How about that? I haven’t disappointed you at all, have I?”

“How about the right-hand elder?” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and asked after a moment of silence. Xie Haiyang seemed to have been waiting for that question all along. He laughed and then replied in a completely casual, nonchalant manner.

“He killed himself.”
