Chapter 499: Zhumo, Matters Resolved
Chapter 499: Zhumo, Matters Resolved
The Rainbow Crystal Palm, now reduced to a few dozen feet in size, held the old black-robed man and brought him before the Flying Boat.
Throughout the process, the old black-robed man remained docile, not daring to make the slightest move.
He could sense that although the palm had shrunk, its power had become even more concentrated.
If he dared to make any move, the immense power would likely crush him to pieces instantly.
When he saw the extraordinarily young-looking Lu Qing on the Flying Boat, his eyes widened in shock.
Lu Qing was also observing the old black-robed man closely.
With his ability activated, it took only a few breaths for him to discern the identity of the man before him.
He said coolly, "You are Mo Heng's master, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, the old black-robed man paused, and a surge of uncontrollable fury welled up in his heart.
He never thought that it was truly his rebellious disciple who had betrayed him.
He quickly replied, "Honored Sir, please understand. I have long severed ties with that traitor. I have no idea what he has been doing outside, and all of this has nothing to do with me!"
At this moment, the old black-robed man wished he could grind that traitor to dust. If not for him, how could he have suffered such an unjust disaster?
Not only had his meticulously crafted Cave Abode been completely destroyed, but his life was now in the hands of another.
How could he not hate!
"Nothing to do with you?" Lu Qing's expression was a mix of a smile and a frown. "The Xuanming Jade Plate on Mo Heng was crafted by you, wasn't it?
If not for a deep bond between master and disciple, would you have given such a treasure to him?"
"Honored Sir, you are being unjust!" The old black-robed man was trembling inside, but he immediately cried out in protest. "That Xuanming Jade Plate was indeed crafted by me, but the traitor stole it while I was in seclusion!
It was precisely because of this that I expelled him from the sect, severing all ties!"
"You sure are sentimental. Even after severing ties, you didn't reclaim such a treasure", Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Enough, don't try that act with me. Even if you did sever ties with Mo Heng, so what?
Don't tell me that your demonic powers were cultivated solely through your own efforts.
The sins on your soul are far greater than those of your disciple Mo Heng.
So, before you die, take a moment to feel the pain that those you have wronged once endured."
With that, he flicked his finger, sending out a wave of energy.
"Honored Sir..." As Lu Qing's tone grew colder, the old black-robed man sensed impending doom.
He was about to beg for mercy, but before he could speak, the wave of energy had already reached him.
Trapped by the Rainbow Crystal Palm, the old black-robed man had no way to avoid it. He could only look on in terror as the wave struck him.
Immediately, he was plunged into a terrifying illusion.
In this illusion, he became an ordinary person, and all the souls he had wronged turned into vengeful ghosts, seeking his life.
They returned the pain he had inflicted on them, multiplied a hundredfold.
"Ah!!! No! No!!!"
Trapped in the illusion, the old black-robed man's face contorted in agony, and he let out a chilling scream.
Strangely, while his expression was one of sheer terror, his eyes were empty, sending chills down the spines of Mu Tian and the others.
For a full fifteen minutes, the old black-robed man screamed, unable to bear the torment of the illusion. His mind began to crumble.
A large amount of Black Qi surged from his body, transforming into ghostly apparitions that began to tear at his flesh.
With his mind shattered, he could no longer control his evil powers, and they began to backfire.
In the end, under the relentless attacks of countless vengeful spirits, the old black-robed man died in excruciating pain.
His physical body was completely devoured, transforming into Black Qi, which formed into more malevolent spirits. They surged within the Rainbow Crystal Palm, trying to break free.
However, even the Old Black-robed Man himself felt like an ant in front of Lu Qing.
The lingering effects of his demonic power's backlash could never escape the suppression of the Rainbow Crystal Palm.
With just a light grip from Lu Qing,
the overwhelming suppression force caused the countless evil spirits formed by the Black Qi in his palm to shatter instantly, turning to ashes and disappearing completely.
Only a few black talismans remained on the ground.
Lu Qing dispelled the Rainbow Crystal Palm and picked up the black talismans.
High above, everything returned to calm.
But the hearts of Mu Tian and the others were still in turmoil, unable to settle for a long time.
Their gazes toward Lu Qing were filled with awe and reverence.
It was impossible to avoid—ever since they arrived at this icy wasteland, they had witnessed too many shocking things.
Lu Qing's awe-inspiring divine powers far exceeded their understanding of cultivation.
With a casual press, he could summon a terrifyingly large palm several miles in size.
With a light lift, he could grab an entire iceberg from the icy wasteland.
Even a Core Formation Realm cultivator hiding in a cave abode had no power to resist and was easily killed.
They could hardly imagine what level of cultivation and what kind of divine powers were needed to achieve such terrifying feats.
And just how high had Lu Qing's realm reached!
Lu Qing paid no attention to the gazes of Mu Tian and the others.
He was examining the few black talismans in his hand.
His main focus was on a black jade plate.
The talismans left by the Old Black-robed Man were all evil talismans, which were of little use to him.
The only one that might be useful was this Xuanming Jade Plate.
The jade plate left by the Old Black-robed Man was larger than the one Mo Heng had.
It was much deeper in color and the jade quality was more crystalline.
Lu Qing activated his ability and took a look, then a trace of understanding appeared in his eyes.
As expected, the material of this Xuanming Jade Plate was much stronger than the one Mo Heng had left, made from high-grade Xuanming Black Jade.
Its effects were also much stronger, capable of helping Core Formation Realm cultivators suppress blood demons.
After a thorough inspection, Lu Qing put everything away.
With his ability, he could enter a state similar to enlightenment at will.
Issues like blood demons would have no effect on him, and the Xuanming Black Jade had little use for him.
But his master and Xiao Yan would find it useful.
So he planned to refine it again when he returned and give it to his master and Xiao Yan to wear.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Xiao Yan asked as she saw Lu Qing put away the talismans.
Among everyone, she was the calmest from start to finish.
Although she was amazed by her brother's abilities, in her heart, her brother was omnipotent.
So no matter what kind of divine power he used, she found it perfectly natural.
"We'll go back to the village first", Lu Qing replied.
At the same time, he reached out to pat Xiao Li and Wu Xing on the head.
He still had a bit of fortune in store for these two young ones.
