"Master Hongqing, you have no right to kill me!"
"Fang Jian! Fang Jian! How dare you disrespect the Four Heavenly Masters!"
But no matter how Lin Zhongtian shouted, the celestial soldiers didn't falter. As celestial soldiers, how could they not know Fang Jian's status within the Heavenly Court? "Four Heavenly Masters?" Forget it. Unless the Eastern Qinghua Emperor arrives in person, you won't survive today.
As seven sword lights slashed down, the bright red blood instantly dyed the clouds floating across the sky red. Lin Zhongtian and the other seven were beheaded directly, and their souls were instantly sucked into the underworld. After a twitch, their bodies spurted blood and fell to the ground above the clouds.
Poor Lin Zhongtian, he never figured out until his death why Master Hongqing, who had been extremely tolerant towards them in the past, had now become so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Lin Zhongtian couldn't figure it out, and died with his eyes open. His head was chopped off, but his eyes were wide open, and his expression was full of disbelief.
A moment later, seven heavenly soldiers each carried a human head and flew down to the mortal world. They landed above the gate of the Tianshi Mansion and threw the heads of Lin Zhongtian and the other seven people down. Then they returned to the Divine Mansion to report.
The person in charge of guarding the mountain gate today is Zhang Ruyu, the third-generation disciple of the Tianshi Mansion. From his surname, it can be seen that he is from the lineage of the great Tianshi Zhang Huan.
Zhang Ruyu, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, is now one of the mountain patrol deacons, responsible for leading the disciples to guard the various mountain gates of the Tianshi Mansion and reporting to the Grand Tianshi.
Although this position does not have much power, it allows one to see the Grand Master from time to time, so only the Grand Master’s confidants can hold this position.
Today is another leisurely day. Zhang Ruyu was lying on the rattan chair in the waiting hall at the mountain gate, thinking leisurely in his heart.
But just as this thought came to mind, he heard a scream from outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps rushing into the waiting hall. "Deacon, Deacon, something bad has happened." A disciple in charge of guarding the mountain gate said in panic.
Zhang Ruyou frowned, opened his eyes, and asked, "What's all the fuss about? Be calm and steady!"
The disciple was still apprehensive when he heard this and spoke incoherently, "Deacon, Priest Lin and the others. Priest Lin..."
"What?" Zhang Ruyu sat up suddenly. "Lin Jijiu and the others are back? Did they catch Liu Zhiyan?"
"Deacon, I...I can't tell you. You can go and see for yourself." The disciple's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.
Seeing how frightened he was, Zhang Ruyu frowned, stood up with confusion in his heart, then walked out of the waiting hall and headed towards the mountain gate.
When Zhang Ruyu arrived at the platform outside the mountain gate, he found that all the disciples guarding the mountain gate and many passing disciples were gathered together. They were all pale and trembling as they stared at several "round lumps" on the ground.
"What's going on?" Zhang Ruyu asked loudly.
Upon hearing this, the disciples on duty immediately made way for it, and Zhang Ruyu immediately saw what the round thing on the ground was; it was a human head!
"Whose head is this? Whose head is this? Who is dead?" Zhang Ruyu came to the seven heads and asked loudly.
But none of the disciples around him could give him a complete answer, so Zhang Ruyu had no choice but to lower his head and look carefully.
However, this sight was so shocking that Zhang Ruyou was unable to catch his breath and just choked there with a look of horror on his face.
After a while, Zhang Ruyu screamed, "Ah! Priest Lin!"
Zhang Ruyu threw himself to the ground, carefully straightened the heads of Lin Zhongtian and the other seven, and screamed again, "It was Lin Jijiu and the others! Who did it? Who killed Lin Jijiu and the others!"
Zhang Ruyu couldn't believe it. Is there anyone in the Haolan Realm who dares to go against the Tianshi Mansion?
"Did you see clearly who put the heads of Lin Jijiu and others here?" Zhang Ruyu turned his head and asked the disciples around him.
The disciples around him shook their heads and pointed to the sky, saying, "It fell from the sky."
Zhang Ruyu glanced up at the sky and shuddered. He immediately picked up Lin Zhongtian's head and said, "Take the heads of the rest of your fellow disciples with you and quickly follow me to report to the Grand Heavenly Master!"
Then, Zhang Ruyu and others directly held the heads of Lin Zhongtian and the other seven and flew towards the Dragon and Tiger Hall, the central part of the Tianshi Mansion, at the fastest speed in their lives.
The news that Lin Zhongtian, the chief priest, and seven True Immortal disciples who went out to capture Liu Zhiyan were killed and their heads were chopped off and thrown outside the mountain gate spread quickly throughout the Tianshi Mansion and outside the main temple. For a time, people inside and outside the Tianshi Mansion were in panic, and a terrifying haze instantly shrouded the heads of every cultivator in the Tianshi Mansion.
