798 Real Elopemen (1/2)

Daoist Master Feng Yin was quite surprised. What was she doing here at this time?

However, soon his heart was filled with joy: regardless of the cause, this was the first time little Ling'Er took the initiative to visit him in years! It didn't matter if this was because she was hallucinating after accidentally eating poisonous mushroom. Since people have come, then don't think about leaving… No, as long as she came, it was better than anything!

Even more, what if his years of persistent dedication had finally influenced little Ling'Er? What if little Ling'Er really recognized him as a father and decided to be a filial daughter?

This was an even more euphoric feeling than if he had a breakthrough in Peak Deity Stage!

However, the emotion that followed was hesitation. At this moment, he shouldn't be distracted by anything. Wang Wu's defensive battle in the crack in the sky was related to the life and death future of Nine Regions. There was no room for failure. Many people chose to completely lock themselves from everyone while he monopolized the Stellar Peak, but actually, he had the idea of not seeing outsiders. At a time like this, he should focus more.

However… Judging from the current situation, there didn't seem to be an urgency. As the shadow-core of the grand array, Feng Yin shouldered heavy responsibilities, but the pressure on him was lighter than the others. Because he knew his Junior Sister better than anyone else, he was more efficient at work. When other people had to fully focus, he could spare some energy to consider other things.

And now, did he want to spend some energy to entertain his 'daughter?'

This question did not make Feng Yin hesitate for a long time.

Of course he welcomed her!

Not long after the decision was made, Feng Yin saw the figure of Feng Ling. The girl pursed her lips as usual and didn't look very happy. However, being able to see her at Stellar Peak already made Feng Yin more happy than anything else.

”Hahaha, little Ling'Er, you're here.”

”Hmph, what are you smirking about? You look like an idiot!”

”Hahaha…”

”Hahaha-what? If you laugh like that again, I'm gone.”

”Wait. Don't go. I won't smile, ok?” Feng Yin quickly closed his mouth, but the sparkles in his eyes couldn't be contained.

At the same time, at the Behead Immortal Platform in Central Region, a much anticipated ceremony was about to begin.

A ceremony for the execution of the Earth Immortal.

There was a sea of people at the foot of the mountain. More than ten thousand people had gathered because of the news, and the place was packed with people.

It was strictly forbidden to fly near the Behead Immortal Platform, thus the cultivators stayed on the ground. They couldn't see the situation on the stage if they were too close. However, the blood flowing around the Behead Immortal Platform had aroused their enthusiasm.

The enthusiasm for this bound-to-a-thorn-pillar Earth Immortal was unprecedentedly high. Most of it, of course, was to curse him for his vicious attempt to attack the Red Sea Underwater Workshop. But then some more experienced cultivators began to share with everyone the glorious deeds of Bai Ze during the Grand Competition 15 years ago.

”This guy hasn't been a good thing from the beginning. Without him, it was very likely that we didn't have to fight against the Earth Immortals at all, which added a lot of loss and even killed many brothers.”

”Eh, I heard that it was made by a man named Black.”

”They're all the same, they're all bad.”

In addition, some people questioned why he would commit suicide to attack the Red Sea Underwater Workshop, which currently was the most important place in the Nine Regions. It was designed and built according to the standard that could resist the attack of the Fallen Immortals. He was just an Earth Immortal, and he was not the strongest among them. Why did he, for inexplicable reason, go to the Red Sea Underwater Workshop to court for disaster? Was there anything hidden in it?

However, the speculation about this would soon be overturned.

”This Bai Ze is simply an idiot. During the Grand Competition, he was simply played with, as if he was just a toy, in the hands of Daoist Master Non-Phase. It is said that Wang Lu's strength has not yet achieved great success at that time. Yet, the barely reaching Peak Jindan Stage Wang Lu fought with him and seemed to have won. Thus, it can be seen how weak this guy is.”

Because Baize was stupid enough, there seemed to be a reasonable explanation for whatever things he did.

Amidst the discussion, time passed, and soon it was time for the execution.

The cultivators of Shengjing who were in charge of the execution, stood on the four corners of the platform and joined hands to cast the spell. Quickly, dark clouds came over and covered the sunlight. The lightning snaked through the dark clouds, and then thunder came.

The so-called Behead Immortal Platform was not a place to slash the celestial being with an immortal sword or a treasured blade. When the thunder fell, the person on the thorn pillar naturally collapsed and turned into ashes. It was cleaner and more thorough than any immortal treasure.

Bai Ze looked up and watched the approaching tribulation lightning, but his heart was at peace.

What should have been done had been done. Although the result was not ideal, he had no regret.

From a very early time, he had been used to setbacks… In fact, objectively speaking, Bai Ze was not stupid. How could a stupid person cultivate until Mahayana Stage and join Sun Buping's team? However, Bai Ze's life was indeed full of ups and downs. It was as if there was a mysterious will between heaven and earth that prevented him from doing something. Thus, he simply cultivated the Negation Immortal Technique, which was simply an alternative route. And after he embarked on this path, he was used to failure.

In Sun Buping's team, because the object of his negation was Sun Buping, one in a hundred of his negation opinions might not be accepted. Most of the time, his hard admonition was like nonsense, and they even provoked people's disgust. However, Bai Ze persisted.

It was a very substantial path, but also very hard. Fortunately, the hard path finally came to an end.

With difficulty, he lowered his head and saw the flowing rivers of blood and the crowd of people under the Behead Immortal Platform. Although he could hear the curses, his heart was still as tranquil as the lake.
