At this moment, he looked at Jiang Zhige with fanatical eyes, and no one doubted whether he would go through fire and water for Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, in just over four hundred years, you have reached the level of a saint. You will have a place in my Xuancang Holy Land in the future."

"The Holy Lord has taken a fancy to me!"

"I, Zhou Qi, am willing to be loyal to Xuan Cang for the rest of my life, even if it means sacrificing my life for him!"

Zhou Qi immediately knelt down to express his gratitude, his eyes becoming more fanatical.

This is the person he follows. Not only does he have the power to kill a Half-Emperor with a wave of his hand, he also has the benevolence of respecting the wise and humble.

In the sky, the old man in Taoist robes had a bitter look on his face. He closed his eyes and sighed: "The building is about to collapse, the building is about to collapse!"

He was neither afraid nor panicked, and he didn't even have any intention of attacking Jiang Zhige.

"Senior Martial Saint, why don't you run away?"

Jiang Zhige put his hands behind his back and looked up at the old man in Taoist robes.

"Escape? In such a vast heaven, where can I escape to?"

"Saint Lord Jiang, now that things have come to this, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish."

The old man in Taoist robe didn't want to struggle at all and just wanted to die quickly.

If he had the strength to fight, he would not have just stood there waiting to die, but he remembered clearly the fate of Zi Yang Tai Shang, and if he took action he would only bring humiliation upon himself.

Jiang Zhige was silent for a moment, then he put his two fingers together and released a stream of demonic energy.

This evil energy did not kill the old man in Taoist robes, but instead destroyed his cultivation.

"Senior Martial Saint, you have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and have no grudge against me. Today, I will abolish your cultivation and you can live peacefully in the mountains for the rest of your life."

Jiang Zhige didn't look at the old man in Taoist robe again, but turned and walked towards Zhao Xingtian in the hall.

The old man in Taoist robes looked inward at the empty Yuanhai, without feeling sad or angry, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He has lived long enough. Anyway, he has no hope of becoming an emperor and his cultivation has been wasted. So it is a good place to stay away from the troubles of the world.

"Everyone says that the Demon Lord kills people without mercy, but today I see that this is not entirely true."

The old man in Taoist robes sighed inwardly and disappeared into the sky.

Looking at the place where he disappeared, Zhou Qi was quite puzzled. The old man in Taoist robe was a powerful half-emperor. Why did Jiang Zhige only destroy his cultivation and not take his life?

You know, even if a Half-Emperor has completely wasted his cultivation and is unable to use his spiritual power, he still possesses power that ordinary people cannot match.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qi soon came up with the answer.

The old man in Taoist robe was just a mortal in the past, but he entered the Tao through martial arts and climbed step by step to the semi-emperor realm.

In his early years, he fought against thousands of immortals. In his middle age, he retired behind the scenes and founded a martial arts school. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and ignored worldly affairs. To this day, he is still revered by countless monks and respected as a martial saint. His influence is not small.

Jiang Zhige is a demon cultivator and is already ostracized by the cultivators in the celestial realm. If he were to kill these sages, he would surely become infamous and be opposed by all the cultivators.

Jiang Zhige is about to become emperor. If he can create an image of benevolence and charity, he will be able to better control the heavens.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi's inner admiration surged like a surging river.

He is worthy of being the person he swore to follow until his death. He already has the power to conquer the world alone, yet he also has such far-sighted wisdom.

Inside the hall, Zhao Xingtian's face was pale and he was already terrified. Not to mention the confidence he had previously used to kill Jiang Zhige, he didn't even have the courage to fight to the death.

"Jiang, Lord Jiang, spare my life!"

"I am willing to submit to Xuan Cang from now on and devote all my strength to serve the Holy Lord!"

Seeing that Jiang Zhige was about to approach, Zhao Xingtian knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to him desperately.

Jiang Zhige showed contempt. How could the leader of a sect, a powerful person in the Xuan realm, be such a wretch?

If Zhao Xingtian had been a little tougher and dared to look Jiang Zhige in the face, Jiang Zhige might have looked up to him a little more.

Without waiting for Zhao Xingtian to beg for mercy, Jiang Zhige slapped him to death with his backhand.

Plop! Zhao Xingtian's headless body collapsed to the ground, and the hearts of many Xuancang masters behind him trembled.

"Holy Lord, I, I didn't react just now."

"I knew that the Holy Lord could easily deal with Zi Yang and Wu Sheng. With the Holy Lord's power, how could he be trapped by a mere formation?"

The faces of the strong men were full of tension and guilt, and their legs became weak when facing the gaze of Jiang Zhige.

Jiang Zhige had a cold expression and walked straight towards the crowd.

"Holy Lord, please spare me! Holy Lord, please spare me!"

"Please see clearly, Holy Lord. We really just didn't react in time. We have no second thoughts!"

Upon seeing this, the powerful men immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy even more desperately than Zhao Xingtian.

They knew very well that Jiang Zhige would definitely treat betrayers more cruelly than Zhao Xingtian.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Jiang Zhige ignored them and walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, seeing Zi Yang and Wu Sheng, two powerful Semi-Emperor Realm warriors, being defeated, many elders and disciples of Guyan Tianmen were filled with despair.

There was no way they could escape the hunt of Xuancang Holy Land, and at this moment they were almost waiting for death to come.

Jiang Zhige walked outside the hall, glanced at the many elders and disciples, and said in a deep voice: "Listen everyone, Ziyang is dead, the Martial Saint is no longer useful, from now on, I don't want to hear any voices against me in the heavens."

He said this not only to the elders and disciples, but also to the powerful beings in the heavenly realm hiding in the dark.

How could Zhao Xingtian be the only one who knew about the two semi-emperor realm masters who joined forces to kill Jiang Zhige and decide who would be the future of the heavenly realm? I'm afraid most of the masters in the heavenly realm were watching from the far north desert.

In this battle, under the watchful eyes of most of the powerful beings in the heaven, Jiang Zhige defeated Zi Yang and Wu Sheng with his absolutely overwhelming force. Even if he could not break through the Emperor Realm, he could still secure his position as the Lord of the Heaven.

Now that the goal has been achieved and Zhao Xingtian is dead, Jiang Zhige no longer kills innocent people and simply disbands the Guyan Tianmen.

Jiang Zhige did not kill the Xuan Cang people who had been watching coldly before. From the moment he recruited these people, he knew that most of them were fence-sitters and there was no need to trust them too much.

The so-called distinction between the ruler and his subjects is nothing more than mutual exploitation.

Today these people are standing by and weighing the pros and cons. If Jiang Zhige needs to, he will push them out to die in the future.

For a group of chess pieces that can be discarded at will, Jiang Zhige does not need to kill them on the spot. He can just make good use of them and then kill them.

As for the old man in Taoist robes, Jiang Zhige did not kill him simply because he felt that the other party was worthy of respect throughout his life and his crime did not deserve the death penalty.

"Tyranny! This is tyranny!!"

"Zi Yang and Wu Sheng were both great sages, but one was killed by him and the other was crippled by him. This is a huge blow to the foundation of the heavenly realm!"

"Emperor Hange, shouldn't an evildoer like Jiang Zhige be killed?"

Inside the Zhengyang Temple, Bai Wuji started yelling again, and even tried to encourage Su Qingqiu to kill Jiang Zhige in advance.
