"Damn it, why? Why can Lu Tao cultivate so quickly?"
Far away, Qi Gan frantically used his movement techniques to fly towards Dafeng Town, hoping to use the people of Dafeng Town as leverage to get Lu Tao to let him go.
He was terrified by Lu Tao and felt a deep sense of panic.
In fact, in Qi Gan's mind, Lu Tao was an even more terrifying existence than Shan Yu.
A seventeen-year-old Divine Platform is not scary, but a seventeen-year-old who can kill a late-stage Martial King is terrifying. Even if Qi Gan is considered a genius, he is still afraid, even terrified, of such a person.
and--
Qi Gan had investigated Lu Tao and found that just over a month ago he was only at the Skin Refining Realm, but now, in just one month, he had already cultivated to the Divine Platform Realm. Such a cultivation speed was simply unheard of.
Therefore.
Even though he was already in the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom, and could have even fled deeper into it, he had no confidence that he could escape with his life. Now, he only had one choice: to capture the people of Dafeng Town and use them to threaten Lu Tao.
"Ah...faster!"
This moment.
Qi Gan was somewhat mad. Already short in stature, he frantically burned his essence, vital energy, and soul in order to travel as quickly as possible, which made his body even thinner.
He didn't know if Lu Tao had the ability to track him down, but he dared not gamble. The sooner he caught the people of Dafeng Town, the more at ease he would feel.
In fact.
At this moment, Qi Gan felt some regret, regretting that he had only conducted a simple investigation of Lu Tao.
When he was ordered by General Du to investigate the Ice Pearl and assassinate Lu Tao, he dared to investigate secretly in order to avoid being exposed, and did not think of using other ruthless means to threaten Lu Tao.
result--
More than ten days ago, the Great Divine Platform Secret Realm ended, and news spread that Lu Tao was able to kill a late-stage Martial King.
Instantly.
Qi Gan was nearly scared to death and fled directly from Da Gan back to the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom, never daring to stay in Da Gan for another moment.
During this time, Qi Gan stayed in the ancient barbarian kingdom, racking his brains to think of a way to survive.
He had considered returning to Dagan and taking control of the people of Dafeng Town, but he dared not gamble, fearing that if Lu Tao returned to Dafeng Town, he would be offering himself up for death.
But now, upon learning that Lu Tao had appeared in Danyou City, he no longer hesitated and decisively flew towards Dafeng Town.
He wanted to capture the townspeople before Lu Tao knew he was plotting against them, so he could negotiate with Lu Tao and save his own life.
A distance of a thousand miles is an insurmountable distance for ordinary people, but for those in the later stages of the Divine Platform realm, it doesn't take much time.
"Almost there, almost there, we'll be there soon."
As they drew closer to Dafeng Town, Qi Gan's face contorted with rage, his smile growing increasingly unrestrained. "My chance to live is right before me!"
"Really?"
Sudden--
A voice rang in Qi Gan's ear. It was very soft and contained no murderous intent. It was just a curious question.
But Qi Gan seemed to hear the whispers of a demon, which frightened him so much that his internal energy became chaotic. His flying body suddenly staggered in mid-air and fell directly down.
He tumbled headfirst into the mountains, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"...Qi Gan, your mental fortitude is a bit lacking."
Lu Tao gave a somewhat speechless sneer. Qi Gan was actually frightened to such an extent by his words. Such mental fortitude was simply too weak.
Is this really a late-stage Divine Platform expert?
"How could this be? How did he know my plan?"
Amidst the dust, Qi Gan's eyes were filled with despair, and his heart was filled with incomprehension.
He concealed his aura and quietly headed towards Dafeng Town. Even if Lu Tao was highly skilled, his cultivation level was only at the Divine Platform realm. With such a cultivation level, how could he know his route from a distance of over a thousand miles?
The next moment.
Qi Gan didn't have time to think, because Lu Tao was already standing in front of him.
Looking at Lu Tao in front of him, Qi Gan's legs trembled uncontrollably.
This was a god of death, someone who could kill hundreds of thousands of ancient barbarian soldiers without batting an eye, and who had also slaughtered thousands of demons at the peak of the Divine Platform. He couldn't help but be afraid.
“Lu Tao, I swear, I have no intention of killing the people of Dafeng Town. I was just trying to save my own life. I had no intention of harming them.”
At this moment, Qi Gan knelt down in front of Lu Tao without any dignity. He did not try to escape, nor did he choose to fight Lu Tao to the death. He just begged with his face covered in dust, "Young Master Lu, please spare my life. I can be your dog. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will never have any disloyalty."
"Woof woof, I think you're asking for death, daring to steal my spot!"
At this moment, the Celestial Hound couldn't help but rush over and stomp on Qi Gan's face, burying his entire head into the mud.
"How is this possible? How can a dog at the early stage of the Divine Platform realm be so strong?"
Qi Gan was completely stunned.
The moment the big black dog stepped towards him, he wanted to fight back, but to his surprise, he was powerless to resist the kick and had to endure it.
He could tell that the big black dog hadn't used any martial arts techniques; it was just an ordinary kick. And he, on the other hand, was at the seventh level of the Divine Platform.
How could a large black dog in the early stages of the Divine Platform have such strength?
and--
Isn't this big black dog the one Lu Tao took from Dafeng Town?
It was just an ordinary house dog before, how could it have advanced to the Divine Platform Realm in just one month?
That's really strange.
"It's Lu Tao, it must be him! He actually has such ability, enabling a dog to cultivate so quickly. What kind of heaven-defying opportunity does he possess that he would use on a dog? If I could obtain it..."
This moment.
Qi Gan's mind raced, and he hurriedly cried out with dust in his mouth, "Master Dog, Master Lu, please don't make a move. I can be an inside man. Shan Yu has planted a soul mark in my soul sea. He trusts me completely. I can hide in the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom and send you any news immediately. Please spare my life."
"Destroy his physical body!"
Lu Tao remained unmoved and directly ordered Xiaotian Dog to destroy Qi Gan's physical body.
"No……"
Qi Gan was terrified and tried desperately to resist, but under the paws of the Howling Celestial Dog, his vital energy stagnated, and he was unable to move an inch.
puff--
With a slight exertion of its paw, the Howling Celestial Dog unleashed a burst of energy into Qi Gan's body, instantly shattering his flesh and turning him into a cloud of blood mist that gradually disappeared into the ground.
The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) suddenly became denser.
"Lu Tao..."
Qi Gan's soul was held in the mouth of the Howling Celestial Dog, which roared wildly as if it wanted to say something in anger.
but.
Lu Tao ignored him, directly took Qi Gan's storage ring, put it into his cave, and threw it to the disciples of the Immortal Sect, saying, "This person is up to you to deal with."
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
The disciples of the Immortal Sect stared at Qi Gan's soul with bloodshot eyes.
The next moment.
Puff puff puff—
One after another, attacks on Qi Gan's soul landed on him, causing him unbearable pain. However, these attacks were precisely the right amount of force, making him wish he were dead without tearing his soul apart.
"It's all because of you that my parents died tragically. You could die ten thousand times and it still wouldn't be enough to atone for your sins."
“We kindly offered you our place to live, and you cruelly murdered them while they were asleep. You all deserve to die.”
"Traitor, you should be executed!"
This moment.
Li Shuyao, Luo Yu, and other disciples of the Immortal Sect vented their hatred for the deaths of their loved ones on Qi Gan.
Thus, he continued to unleash various soul attacks, tormenting Qi Gan.
"No, it can't be, this isn't real! What am I seeing? You're all at the Divine Platform Realm! Absolutely impossible, this must be an illusion!"
Qi Gan has gone mad.
He discovered that all the disciples of the Immortal Sect, regardless of age, were all at the Divine Platform Realm.
This is utterly outrageous.
This situation simply cannot occur in this world.
In less than a month, all these orphans have advanced to the Divine Platform Realm? That's impossible!
Moreover, they were not ordinary Divine Platform Realm cultivators; each of them was stronger than him.
so.
Qi Gan felt that he must be in some kind of hallucination, and that Lu Tao was doing it on purpose.
only--
As these Immortal Sect disciples tormented, roared, and vented their frustrations, he was shocked to discover that it was actually true.
Lu Tao actually created a sect where all the disciples were at the Divine Platform Realm.
"Hahaha, it's actually true..."
Qi Gan laughed maniacally, his expression deranged. Tortured by the crowd to the point of shedding tears of despair, Qi Gan then chose to self-destruct, ending his sinful life.
"town!"
However, He Yuanshuang's soft shout extinguished his thoughts, preventing him from even self-destructing his soul, and making it impossible for him to die.
"Aaaaah... I'm not reconciled!"
Before long, Qi Gan went completely insane, only able to scream in agony, unable to utter a single word.
And so, time passed.
In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour passed, and another soul was thrown into the cave—it was Shen Tu Nan.
He fled quite far, deep into the ancient barbarian kingdom, and hid in a secret realm, but was still found by the Howling Celestial Dog, who destroyed his physical body, leaving only his soul.
"Shen Tu Nan? Hehe, haha!"
Sensing Shen Tu Nan's spiritual aura, Qi Gan's already frenzied spirit regained its senses for a moment before plunging back into a state of madness.
"Qi Gan?"
Shen Tu Nan looked at Qi Gan, who had been tortured beyond recognition, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"burst!"
Shen Tu Nan knew that if he fell into Lu Tao's hands, he would have no way to survive. He did not want to suffer the same torment as Qi Gan, so he decisively chose to self-destruct his soul.
Even when he self-destructed, I felt a certain admiration for Qi Gan's resilience.
Despite such torment, Qi Gan endured it all and did not choose to commit suicide.
He's truly a man of courage.
The next moment, he realized that Qi Gan was not a true man, but was forced into it.
"ah……"
Shen Tu Nan also joined the ranks of those screaming in pain.
but.
Compared to Qi Gan, he didn't hate Shen Tu Nan as much, so he suffered relatively less torment, but his pain wasn't much less.
"Lu Tao, you'll die a horrible death!"
Shen Tu Nan was tormented to the point of screaming and cursing Lu Tao.
Then--
The next moment, the torture inflicted on the Immortal Sect disciples suddenly intensified.
"Let you curse our sect leader."
"Let's shut your mouth and see how you make a sound."
The Immortal Sect disciples showed no mercy and intensified their torture of the two.
"I... I deserve to die!"
At this moment, Shen Tu Nan was filled with regret.
He didn't repent and curse Lu Tao, but rather regretted betraying Da Gan. Not only did he not gain much benefit, but he also ruined his own family. He was a sinner to his family.
"ah……"
The two screamed incessantly, their voices incredibly eerie, but eventually, they fell silent.
