He added, "Only death can cleanse you of your sins! The goddess of the divine realm can only be Princess Qingluan! And you are destined to be a demon who cannot see the light of day! I am doing this for your own good! For the sake of all the people of the Nine Provinces!"

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, an attempt to conceal his base thoughts. He was being stared at by Liu Yue, but dared not look her in the eye.

Everything from my past life is still vivid in my mind.

Mu Xingzhi's body stiffened. "No, impossible! Who are you? Stop playing tricks on me!!"

Mu Xingzhi roared wildly in a frenzy.

"Of course I'm a vengeful ghost who crawled up from hell to claim your life!" Liu Yue smiled, a bright smile that sent chills down one's spine.

She watched Mu Xingzhi go mad with composure, like a bystander.

Click! She opened the cell door.

"You, you don't come any closer! Ghost! Ghost! You're a ghost!" Mu Xingzhi's Xuan power attacked Liu Yue, but Liu Yue easily deflected every move.

All of Mu Xingzhi's skills were taught by Liu Yue! Therefore, she could guess what Mu Xingzhi wanted to do even with her eyes closed.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Mu Xingzhi huddled in the corner.

"Clearly, clearly you were trapped in my death formation, why... are you still alive? No, this must be an illusion!" Mu Xingzhi murmured. Yes, that must be it!

Ah! The next second, the Heaven-Asking Sword had already pierced into Mu Xingzhi's shoulder blade.

This pain struck his very soul, and Mu Xingzhi let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Liu Yue squatted down, resting her arms on her knees, and looked down at Mu Xingzhi, who was writhing in pain: "I thought I would have to go to the Xuan Tian Realm to kill you! I didn't expect you to have fallen to the Cang Long Realm. Mu Xingzhi, you are really getting worse as you get older."

Liu Yue took out the Fuxi Qin (a type of zither), her slender fingers plucking the strings, instantly pulling Mu Xingzhi into an illusion.

Ah! Mu Xingzhi curled up, feeling as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart.

He kept begging for mercy: "Master, I will never dare to do it again. Master, back then... I was forced to do it. If I hadn't done it, the God would have killed me!"

"ah! "

Memories were evoked, and Liu Yue channeled a wisp of Xuanling power into his soul sea. Soon, some scenes from those memories appeared before his eyes.

Scenes flashed by one after another.

After reading these memories, Liu Yue smiled coldly. She really had a good father!

The so-called deities are truly laughable!

Clang!

The sound of the zither suddenly rang out, Mu Xingzhi's dantian was destroyed, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. "Master, Master."

No, he doesn't want to die! He doesn't want to die!

He crawled forward, and the next second, he was kicked away, curled up on the ground like a dead dog.

"It seems you've tried so hard to please the people of the Divine Realm, but you haven't gained anything." Liu Yue's expression was sarcastic. From those memories, she saw what Mu Xingzhi had done to her back then.

He thought he had caught Di Qingluan's eye, but Di Qingluan only treated him like a dog!

Mu Xingzhi angrily confronted Di Qingluan: "Princess Qingluan, didn't you say you would hand over the Brahma Sect to me? Didn't we agree on all of this?"

The Brahma Sect is a power founded by Liu Yue!

The Di family went to great lengths to kill her, firstly for the divine bones, and secondly for the Brahma Sect.

Di Qingluan merely ordered her men to tie Mu Xingzhi up.

"Mu Xingzhi, you've been by Jun Liuyue's side for so many years, have you forgotten your own origins?" Di Qingluan gently blew away the tea foam in her cup and sneered, "You're nothing but a little beggar without parents, with the dirtiest and lowest blood flowing through your veins. Tell me, what makes you think you can take charge of the Brahma Sect?"

"Back then..."

"If you hadn't said that back then, why would you have willingly risked your life for me? Why would you have betrayed Jun Liuyue?"

"So you were lying to me from the very beginning?!"

"Lie to you? You're not qualified." Di Qingluan didn't take Mu Xingzhi seriously at all: "What's so great about a lowly person that I would deceive you? Now that you've served your purpose, you're of no use to me anymore."

"Princess, I...I don't want the Brahma Sect anymore!"

Realizing the danger, Mu Xingzhi shuddered violently. Di Qingluan wanted to kill him to silence him.

"I'm not as foolish as Jun Liuyue to keep a traitor by my side. If you can betray Jun Liuyue, how do I know you won't betray me in the future?"

Di Qingluan slowly stood up, patting off non-existent dust from her body: "Guards, take him away and throw him into the Soul Devouring Domain to fend for himself."

Soul Devouring Domain —

It's a place in the divine realm used to punish criminals; once someone is thrown in, there's absolutely no chance of survival!

"Di Qingluan, you've crossed the river and burned the bridge!!!"

Mu Xingzhi screamed in anguish, but it was too late.

So what if you cross the river and then dismantle the bridge?

Di Qingluan didn't take Mu Xingzhi seriously at all; he was just a nobody and not worth her time.

Mu Xingzhi was dragged down. Later, before being thrown into the Soul Devouring Domain, he managed to escape, but he has been hunted down by the Divine Realm for years! In the end, he could only escape to the Azure Dragon Realm.

However, the people from the Divine Realm still pursued him all the way to the Azure Dragon Realm. Mu Xingzhi, under the identity of an array master, entered the Hua family! He has never shown his face all these years! Because if he were to show his face, he would be discovered by the spies from the Divine Realm.

The formation set up by the Hua family not only protected the Hua family, but also formed a defensive array.

Mu Xingzhi also escaped the spies from the Divine Realm through the defensive array! But Mu Xingzhi never expected that, by sheer coincidence, Liu Yue would also come to the Hua family.

And he immediately recognized that the formation was created by an acquaintance!

Mu Xingzhi's skills were all taught to him by Liu Yue.

Although he was a traitor, Liu Yue never denied Mu Xingzhi's talent in formations, which far surpassed hers. It was just a pity that he had misused his talent.

"Master, please, let me go!" Mu Xingzhi groveled on the ground, utterly disheveled. "I've also received my retribution. Di Qingluan, Di Qingluan is a fraud! Even if Di Qingluan cultivates for another thousand years, she still can't compare to you, Master!"

"I will never let a traitor go unpunished," Liu Yue said coldly. "You must have seen my methods when you trained with me back then."

Never indecisive.

She will unconditionally protect those she has chosen.

However, if this person betrays them, they will suffer overwhelming retaliation.

"I... I did this because you forced me to!"

"Oh? I'm forcing you?" Liu Yue sneered.

"Back then, I clearly had better talent and became a high-level array master. Why did you hand over the power to lead the Brahma Sect to Mu Fan?!"

Mu Fan is Liu Yue's second disciple.

"I'm clearly the best one, the most capable..."
