Su Diandian thought she had Zhenming under control.

After all, few people are willing to give up power and fame.

Unexpectedly, Zhenming said with a firm look in his eyes, "It's just an empty title, what's there for me to be attached to?"

Upon hearing this, Su Diandian scoffed, "Heh, Master, do you know that the more you disdain something, the more you are bound to it?"

Just like her, she may seem to want to die and give up her life, but in reality, she just wants to return to her own world and live a good life.

Before Zhenming could speak, she stepped forward and reached out to stroke the red robe he was wearing, which was made by Tianzhifang.

She asked him, "After your cultivation was abolished and you were expelled from the sect, Master, were you able to wear coarse linen clothes? Were you able to work hard in spring planting and autumn harvesting to earn food?"

Zhenming was slightly taken aback and fell into deep thought.

Su Diandian concluded: "Master, you can't."

“Xiao Dian, I…” Zhen Ming’s long eyelashes drooped slightly, then lifted again, her eyes filled with unwavering determination, “I can…”

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Su Diandian took off his red coat and put his outer robe back on him.

She twisted the red dress that had been torn off into a rope and wrapped it around Zhenming's neck.

Then, she deliberately shouted outside, "Zhenming! Die! Die!"

Jiang Ziheng rushed over upon hearing the commotion and roared, "You wicked disciple! All that effort Fourth Brother put into saving you was for nothing!"

Before he could finish speaking, he kicked Su Diandian away.

Su Diandian crashed heavily to the ground, then immediately felt a sweet taste in her throat and fainted.

Before she lost consciousness, she had only one thought: her goal had been achieved.

Blinded by rage, Jiang Ziheng had no time to think about how Su Diandian, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, was able to knock out Zhenming.

It wasn't until he calmed down that he realized he had been drugged.

And so, Su Diandian was accused of another crime: attempting to kill her master.

While still unconscious, she was bound to the execution platform by Jiang Ziheng.

Su Diandian woke up to a commotion.

She tried to move her hands and feet, only to find herself tied to a stone pillar.

Below the stage were members of the Xuancang Sect pointing and whispering at her.

On one side of the execution platform, Jiang Ziheng was reading out her crimes.

Colluding with the Corpse Control Sect, betraying the sect, murdering his master...

Any one of those reasons would be enough to kill her, and she was quite satisfied, so she unconsciously smiled.

Someone noticed her smile and exclaimed in surprise, "Su Dian probably still doesn't know how to repent, he's actually smiling."

Someone immediately chimed in: "You don't understand, do you? She colluded with the Corpse Control Sect. After her death, she was turned into a corpse puppet, and her consciousness can be recalled."

"How could it be so bizarre?" someone retorted.

At this point, Jiang Ziheng had already delivered his verdict.

Seeing that Su Diandian had opened her eyes, he asked her coldly, "Do you have any objections?"

Su Diandian laughed and said, "No, I just want to be punished as soon as possible."

This is the absolute truth.

But Jiang Ziheng, who was naturally suspicious, felt that something was amiss.

Since the founding of the Xuancang Sect, quite a few disciples have been bound to this execution platform.

But most of them were terrified and would even beg for mercy.

Su Diandian is the only one who faced death with such composure.

This made Jiang Ziheng feel that it was full of conspiracies.

He telepathically asked Chu Kuo, "Has there been any unusual activity in the Four Seasons Wasteland?"

On the mountain peak opposite the execution platform, Sijihuang was watching every move.

Chu Kuo was playing chess with him beside him. When asked, he looked up at Sijihuang.

Sijihuang sat upright, with Linglongshi and Ahei by his side.

He appeared perfectly normal, as if he wasn't the one who tried to snatch people from the main hall earlier.

Chu Kuo coughed lightly, "Sect Master Huang, the execution is about to take place."

"Hmm." Sijihuang remained unmoved, only responding in a muffled voice.

Chu Kuo chuckled awkwardly, "Sect Master Huang, aren't you going to save that girl?"

"She chose it herself. After she's been tortured, I'm going to take her away." Sijihuang rarely spoke more than a few words.

This made Chu Kuo feel very dramatic.

The Corpse Master certainly has unique tastes; when he likes someone, he doesn't care whether that person is dead or alive.

Anyway, the living can move, and the dead can also move in the hands of the corpse tamer.

"Sect Master Huang, is there really some secret technique that can summon back the spirit of the corpse puppet?" Chu Kuo became interested.

After asking the question, he stared longingly at the expressionless Sijihuang.

Siji Huang raised his eyes and said coldly, "None."

He was just gambling, gambling that Su Diandian wouldn't die.

After all, her physique is one in a million, extremely special.

"Alright, alright, it's a secret of the sect, and it's understandable that Sect Master Huang doesn't want to talk about it." Chu Kuo chuckled and then placed a black piece on the chessboard.

Sijihuang pursued and placed a white piece.

On the execution platform, Jiang Ziheng gave the order: "Take the lightning punishment."

Hearing this, Su Diandian was stunned.

She had previously gone up the mountain to try and draw lightning, but it was completely useless; it was no different from scratching an itch.

Hopefully, the lightning from the Xuancang Sect will be effective.

The disciple in charge of summoning the lightning chanted an incantation and then threw a purple talisman into the air.

A bolt of lightning surged from the purple talisman.

Then, the previously sunny sky suddenly darkened, and thunder rumbled in an instant.

After a series of crackling sounds, the first bolt of lightning struck down on Su Diandian.
