Yu Cang was stumped and his expression darkened, his gaze looking towards Lonemoon was already coupled with a trace of hatred. As if expecting that there wouldn’t be a good ending to today’s matters, his flustered manner from earlier took on a change as he glared and said, “Is Young Lord Lonemoon intending on standing up for others then?”

“I just cannot bear the sight of you parasites disrupting the order of this little world!”

“Hmph, what order?” Yu Cang laughed coldly. “What’s wrong with my Sacred Arrival Realm being lucky and finding a more effective method of ascension? It is still cultivation but is it wrong just because our method is faster and easier?”

“The method that you speak of, is to collude with cultivators of the Lower Realm to sacrifice a living man and even making use of a primordial spirit mark, intending to trap him for eternity?” How could such a person deserves to be an immortal.

“Why not!” Yu Cang retorted loudly. Not just him, the crowd behind him, including everyone from Hao Ran Court wore looks as if that was only natural. “Sacrificing him alone can help all of us succeed, why should we not accept such a deal?”

“If someone were to be blame, we can only blame him for having such a peculiar constitution in every lifetime. He was born to have a different body and spirit bones, even his skeletons radiate merit.” His voice grew louder and louder as he became bolder in his speech. “Such unique constitution is due to the Heavenly Dao; then when we make use of his flesh and blood to ascend, that is also our luck. That we can ascend successfully is the best proof. This is Heaven’s will, what right do you have to say that we were wrong!”

Once his words fell, the others also responded, increasingly finding themselves on the side of reason.

“That’s right, he was born with such a constitution, then he deserves to be a prey for others.”

“Unique flesh, spirit bones and such constitution that defies nature should not appear on a person’s body in the first place.”

“That’s right, he has a precious body, so he naturally deserves a different life.”

“Spirit herbs and plants can be made into immortal herbs, why can’t he!”

They went further and further as they spoke, completely not taking Fatty as a person, but an object, a stem of spirit herb.

Fatty who had just came to not long ago turned pale from listening to them, his whole body began to tremble and he was about to lose his balance. Shen Ying pinched him and suddenly said with her head tilted, after thinking for a moment. “You are human, don’t be bothered by little animals.”

Fatty was dazed for a moment, not understanding what she meant.

Chef then explained, “Master meant to say that those don’t deserve to be called humans, they’re just beasts.”

Fatty faltered, warmth flowed through his heart and dissolved the coldness that rose in his heart earlier. Actually, when he’d perceived the skeletons in the lotus pond earlier, he’d already sensed that they were him. Though he no longer had the memories of his past lives, he could still guess how he’d died from listening to what they had said.

These were immortals who stood high above the masses, they’d sliced him up so many times, why were they still able to act in such a justified manner, criticizing him for having such a body. Why don’t they feel any burden in their heart, not even recognizing that this was wrong. But what had he done wrong then? Just because he had a unique body?

He could not help but think, if he hadn’t met Master in this life, without Miss Shen, he would still become the cultivation ingredient that they spoke of, he was even unworthy of being known as a human right? He could not understand why such people existed in the world.

He instinctively shuffled a few steps towards Shen Ying’s back, fortunately… fortunately there were still people who were different.

Chef who was on the other side glanced at him, his brows knitted for a moment, but ultimately did not stop him.

“Young Lord Lonemoon, we’ve even passed the Heavenly Tribulation of ascension, that proves that there is nothing wrong with our method.” Yu Cang seemed to have found his courage once again and even glanced at Yi Qing who was at a distance. “Something that even Heavenly Dao does not interfere with, it is…”

“Who said Heavenly Dao did not interfere?” Lonemoon’s expression turned icy as he directly interrupted him. “All of you really thought that after all these disgusting and immoral things that you have done, Heavenly Dao would really be so blind to let you go?”

“What do you mean?” Yu Cang was taken aback, a trace of panic flashed through his eyes, but he also felt that Lonemoon was just bluffing. After all, Celestial Emperor Yi Qing on that side had not said anything at all, he probably did not want to intervene in the matters of the mortal realm. As long as he does not stand out, with just Young Lord Lonemoon alone, he was barely afraid.

“Weren’t you suspecting the Heavenly Dao?” Lonemoon smiled even more coldly, this bunch of people had completely disgusted him. “Then I shall show all of you, what is known as divine punishment!” Damn it, if he doesn’t beat them up till they can’t fend for themselves in their daily lives, he wouldn’t be surnamed Niu.

Not wanting to waste his time talking to them, he waved his hand, a familiar force of suppression immediately went towards everyone. Yu Cang and the rest hadn’t come back to their senses and felt their bodies getting lighter, as if something had been drawn out of them. At a closer look, the gold light that was originally wrapped around their bodies had all become gold dots and were floating towards Lonemoon before disappearing.

Yu Cang was shocked, those merits came from the flesh and blood of that special being. After they’d ascended, they tried all sorts of ways but was unable to remove it, it could only be hidden, they didn’t expect Lonemoon to be able to seize it so easily. Though merit was useful, but in the Upper Realm, it would be too striking if so many of them possessed the Light of Merit. Now that it was gone, it was just what they wanted, though he did not know Lonemoon’s intention, he could not help but feel a sense of wild delight grow in his heart yet it sank again in the next moment.

Lonemoon had directly summoned a sword array as huge as the sky, only this time round, it wasn’t an array formed from Spirit Qi but Immortal Qi. There was anger in his heart, he didn’t intend to have mercy, in a moment, the horizon was filled with a sharp Sword Qi.

“Is Young Lord Lonemoon forcing us to take action?” Yu Cang’s face fell, completely having no regard for Lonemoon. The crowd behind him exchanged looks with each other and summoned their artifacts before charging out.

Lonemoon sneered coldly, with a flip of his hand, the fan in hand instantly transformed into a long sword, just as he was about to strike, his hand suddenly went slack.

“What are you doing?!” He looked up at the sky, wrapped around his hand was an authoritative energy. At the same time, the surroundings darkened, thick thunder clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, layers and layers of clouds that not a trace of light passed through, lightning of various colors repeatedly flickered through the clouds, alongside a appalling suppression aura of Heaven and Earth.

Yu Cang and his followers were startled, frightened by the Lightning Tribulation that suddenly appeared, and did not dare to budge an inch in midair, it was really because the suppression aura of heaven and earth was too terrifying, as if it was about to destroy everything. Even for Yu Cang, under such suppression, he felt like the urge to fall to his knees and worship.

But this was another sight in Lonemoon’s eyes, suppression aura of heaven and earth and whatnot was totally not existent. Instead, from the layers of thunderclouds, he felt a trace of… excitement?!

Even the authoritative energy that was wrapped around his hand became especially lively, as if there was a small voice continuously begging by his ear. “Let me do it, let me do it, let me do it… let me kill them!”

“…”
