Murong Yin's expression changed slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Being able to seriously injure Director Su must be the work of an old friend... It's not convenient for me to intervene."

She had already guessed who had seriously injured Su Murong.

It should be Su Yao.

Thinking of Su Murong's son Su Wentian, Murong Yin suspected...Su Yao might be Su Murong's ex-wife.

Suddenly, after a deafening roar of spiritual power, a black hole-like spatial crack appeared in the desolate desert, and six embarrassed figures fell into it.

The six elders, namely, the Source of Law Elder Zhong Xuanji, the Chiyang Elder Zhao Heyang, the Dikui Elder Wu Tiejun, the Thunder God Elder Lei Kunlun, the Soul Seal Elder Pei Changfeng, and the Tianji Elder He Canghai, were covered in scars, looked dazed, and their eyes were filled with fear of surviving a calamity.

They all came from the living world...the so-called paradise.

But at this moment, their faces were pale, their bodies were festering as if they had been baptized by divine thunder, their souls were shattered, and their spiritual powers were disordered.

"In the gate of life... everything is an illusion... All the phenomena in the world of mortals almost trap us in it forever!" Zhong Xuanji said with a pale face and gasping.

Su Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a few steps closer: "You have lied in the world of mortals."

The six elders were all stunned, with a hint of guilt in their eyes.

She raised her hand, a mysterious seal appeared on her palm, and she shouted softly, "Show!"

In an instant, six red threads appeared on the wrists of each elder, as thick as blood, entwined between the meridians.

"You have not yet escaped from the mundane world." Su Yao said calmly.

Zhong Xuanji was horrified: "What is this red line?"

"It is the karma of your unrepentant sins that is still tied to the illusory world of the mortal world." Su Yao said expressionlessly, "If you cannot sever this thread within three hours, you will all be devoured by divine power and die, and even Heaven will not save you."

"You're spreading rumors and misleading people!" Zhao Heyang angrily said, "How did you know we would die?!"

Xin Jifeng shook his fan and sneered: "Old man, whether you live or die is your business, it has nothing to do with us."

Pei Changfeng's face turned pale, and he clasped his fists in pain, "Director Su, I hope you can teach me...how can I cut this thread?"

"Return to the mundane world, face your own karma with sincerity, and exchange repentance for purity, only then can you cut the red thread." Su Yao's eyes were like a deep pool: "Otherwise, you will die."

Everyone was silent.

Suddenly, the red lines seemed to be pulled by divine power, turning into blood mist one by one, pulling out six memory images and unfolding in front of everyone.

Zhong Xuanji was startled. In the picture, a frail woman collapsed on the bed, coughing up blood. A boy beside the bed cried for help, but he turned away, muttering, "Everyone has their own destiny."

"That's... my wife... my son..." Zhong Xuanji covered his head in agony, but the red thread of divine power dragged him through more scenes: he had been on a journey of cultivation, repeatedly refusing to return home, missing his wife's deathbed, and never even showing up when his son was beaten to death...

Zhao Heyang's red thread revealed a rabbit demon family... A docile demon girl, holding a child, begged him for mercy, but he remained unmoved. He unleashed a furious barrage of magic, raining blood. Then, he took out his demon pill and refined it, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

"I...that was...for my cultivation!" Zhao Heyang roared tremblingly.

In Wu Tiejun's video, a landslide struck, and he stood by and watched as a family of eleven was buried alive. His disciples cried and asked why he didn't save them, but he replied indifferently, "It's fate that cannot be defied."

Lei Kunlun's red line recorded that he borrowed public funds to build a mansion, a large amount of ill-gotten gains flowed into his private pocket, and he also seized a lot of people's land for his own use.

In Pei Changfeng's picture, he embraces the snow demon Xue Manni and vows never to separate. Not only does he violate the first taboo of the 79th Bureau, which is human-demon love, he also keeps stealing the demon pills sealed in the 79th Bureau to help her improve her cultivation.

He Canghai's red thread, young and beautiful women were forced to marry him under the control of magic, and later went insane and were imprisoned in a mental hospital. When his illegitimate daughter He Qingwen tearfully asked him where her mother was, he kept lying: "Your mother is crazy and can't see you."

The daughter's choked voice echoed on the red thread: "Father, you have deceived me my whole life..."

All the phantoms appeared one by one, and everyone's faces changed drastically.

Leng Zhiruo was stunned and lost her voice: "This... is this the so-called 'gate of life'?"

Hu Qianmo gritted his teeth secretly, sweat dripping down his back: "I thought the Death Gate was a trap..."

Murong Yin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she murmured, "Fortunately... we didn't go through that door..."

Su Yao's eyes were cold and his voice was calm. "This illusion doesn't really mean to kill you. It simply reveals your past sins. If you confess and repent, the red thread will break. If you force your way out, the divine power will extract your soul and destroy your spirit."

Before he finished speaking, the red line shook violently, draining the magic power and spiritual consciousness from the bodies of the six elders.

"Ah!!" Lei Kunlun screamed and fell to his knees.

Zhao Heyang's eyes were red and his face was ferocious: "Stop! I admit it! Isn't it enough that I admit it!"

Zhong Xuanji gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face: "I was wrong... I... I was wrong..."

The elders finally realized that the price of not repenting was that they could not even save their souls.

Unfortunately, divine power is ruthless.

Su Yao looked at them without emotion: "It's too late to repent. All things in the mortal world are a mirror of the Way of Heaven. Now that the Way of Heaven has emerged, the world must correct its hearts."

The six elders collapsed to the ground. The once high and mighty venerable ones now couldn't even protect themselves.

When the red line breaks, it does not mean that the atonement is successful, but rather that the divine power pronounces the final verdict, depriving all cultivation.

The sky was gloomy, the wind blew the sand, and the silence was full of depression.

No one dared to speak.

Su Yao stood with his hands behind his back, as cold as the moon.

Only her voice echoed in the world: "There is a cause, then there is an effect; there is an effect, there must be a retribution."

Purple eyes looked indifferently at the six elders in front of him who were once powerful and influential. Today they were like dogs that had lost their homes. How ironic.
