Sect Master Chu was speechless, choked by Chu Wanwan's words. Although he was furious, he knew that what Chu Wanwan said was true. The ancient demonic array was a forbidden array of the immortal realm. If others knew that the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect had used such a demonic array to harm people, they would surely become the target of everyone's condemnation.
Moreover, the demonic array is extremely dangerous. If it were to be used by cultivators with impure motives, the Immortal Realm would be plunged into endless slaughter and chaos.
Sect Master Chu knew in his heart that Chu Wanwan's words were true. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him. If not handled properly, not only would his position as sect master be in jeopardy, but the reputation and future of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect would also be severely affected.
“Miss Chu, I admit that I have made a serious mistake,” Sect Master Chu said in a deep voice. “I am willing to take full responsibility and accept any punishment. However, please give the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect a chance. We will do our best to reform and ensure that similar things do not happen again.”
"You said it! You're willing to accept any punishment?" Chu Wanwan narrowed her eyes, smiling as she looked at Sect Leader Chu, making him break out in a cold sweat...
But he had already spoken, so Sect Master Chu nodded reluctantly, "Yes, I am willing to accept any punishment."
Chu Wanwan chuckled lightly, "Alright, since you put it that way, I'll give you a chance. I originally intended to kill you, but you're already a Void Mirror expert; reaching this level wasn't easy. So, I'll punish you by making you join the Demon Realm Sealing Patrol Team. You'll do your job well there and cleanse yourself of your sins!"
"The Demon Realm Sealing Patrol? What's that? Is there a problem with the Demon Realm seal?" Sect Master Chu had originally disagreed with leaving the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, but after hearing Chu Wanwan say that she originally intended to kill him, he swallowed his words. Instead, he asked about the Demon Realm seal.
“Someone will tell you all this. You and the elders of your Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, go. Don’t try anything funny, don’t think about escaping or breaking the seal! The patrol team’s minimum cultivation level is Void Realm. If you have any bad intentions…” Chu Wanwan’s eyes turned cold. “Don’t blame them for being impolite!”
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Chu and the elders, though reluctant, knew they couldn't afford to offend the woman before them. Therefore, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Seeing that they agreed, Chu Wanwan said no more. She turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned back to Sect Leader Chu, saying, "Sect Leader Chu, remember your promise today. If you perform well, the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect will still be yours."
After saying that, she vanished in a flash, leaving Sect Master Chu and the elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
A few days later, someone came to guide Sect Master Chu and the elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect to the sealed land of the Demon Realm. Many Void Realm experts had already gathered there; they had all been transferred from various sects across different heavens to jointly guard this important seal.
The lowest level among them is the Void Realm expert, and above them are experts in the Dao Integration Realm, Tribulation Transcending Realm, and even Chaos Realm.
When Sect Master Chu and the elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect arrived here, they truly became the lowest level.
"Hey! Where did these people come from? How come there are weaklings like them, even at the Void Realm level? And that old man, he's so old, and he's only at the Void Realm level. He's really weak. What are they doing here? Are they going to their deaths?"
A cultivator dressed in blue cultivation robes looked at Sect Master Chu and his group with disdain and said sarcastically.
Sect Master Chu and the elders exchanged glances, furious but daring not to retaliate. They knew that here, strength was the only true measure of power. And they were indeed the weakest among them.
"Ignore them. They're the sect leader and elders of a major sect in the Fifth Heaven. I heard they made a mistake and offended the Domain Lord, so they were sent here to atone for their sins." A cultivator in red robes, who knew some of the inside story, glanced at the people from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect and reminded them.
"Hahaha... So they're here to die! No wonder such weaklings could come!" The immortal cultivator in the white robes looked at the old men with even more displeasure. They really didn't want to live if they dared to provoke his idol.
"Sending us to our deaths! What do you mean, sending us to our deaths? Someone sent us here to atone for our sins, what are we sending us to die for?" Hearing these people talking about them like this, Sect Master Chu was furious, and his questioning tone was inevitably a bit harsh.
"You don't know how dangerous this place is, do you?" a cultivator asked them mockingly.
"The Demon Realm has already been sealed by the ancient gods, so what danger could there be? Isn't it just that the seal has loosened and we're here to patrol and prevent it from being broken?" an elder of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect asked doubtfully.
"It seems you really don't know! Considering we're all immortal cultivators, let me remind you: be careful in the future, and stick with those at the Void Realm level or higher. They might save your lives in a critical moment!" A Void Realm level nine expert kindly advised.
"You're such a saint! What kind of good people are those who offend the Domain Lord? Even if they die, they deserve it! Maybe the Domain Lord sent them here so that their deaths would have a more meaningful purpose..." another cultivator said sarcastically, clearly having no goodwill towards Sect Master Chu and his group.
“That’s right! Let’s go on patrol! The captain said that the activity inside the seal here has been intense recently, and a great demon is probably about to emerge. We need to be vigilant…” After the kind-hearted immortal cultivator finished speaking, he and several other experts at least at the ninth level of the Void Realm left the camp.
The members of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect watched the departing figures in silence for a long time. After a while, an elder finally spoke in a trembling voice, "What they just said was that we offended the Domain Lord. That girl, I mean Chu Wanwan, could she be the Domain Lord?"
"Perhaps! Rumor has it that the new domain lord is the reincarnation of the Goddess of Life, and her combat power ranks first in the Immortal Realm. That girl broke our formation without making a sound. Perhaps she really is the domain lord." Another elder said with a strained voice.
Sect Master Chu took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart. If that girl really was a Domain Lord, then their Nine Heavens Immortal Sect had just escaped death.
His brows furrowed slightly. He had initially thought she was just a high-level Void Realm cultivator; though powerful, with his connections, revenge wouldn't be impossible. But now that little girl was actually a high-ranking Domain Lord, his daughter's revenge was going to be difficult!
The Chu Sect Master gazed at the horizon, his eyes a deep crimson.
Regardless of that girl's identity, his daughter died so tragically, he had to avenge her.
No matter the cost, even if it means destroying the world, this revenge must be taken...
