He originally thought these two young people would be scared out of their wits at the sight of him, but unexpectedly, they remained motionless, without a trace of panic on their faces.
The chief disciple took a step forward hurriedly and said obsequiously.
"Ancestor, they are dumbfounded by your aura and know they can’t escape, so they surrendered without a fight."
Lishan Ancestor listened to the flattery, the corners of his mouth lifting to reveal several yellowed teeth.
He looked at Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao with the eyes of someone passing judgment, as if they were already fish on the chopping board.
"Go, kill them."
Lishan Ancestor waved his hand, his tone as relaxed as if he were asking someone to pour a cup of tea.
The chief disciple drew a long knife from his waist, the blade glinting with a strange green light, clearly poisoned.
He walked toward Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao with a sinister smile, eyes full of killing intent.
"It’s over, all over..."
From the crowd chained up, an old man closed his eyes in despair.
They had originally clung to a glimmer of hope in these two young sudden arrivals, since they dared to face Lishan Ancestor directly.
But now seeing the two "stunned" into stillness, hope was instantly shattered.
"Boo hoo... I don’t want to die..."
A young woman sobbed softly, her voice brimming with fear.
Lishan Ancestor was amused by these cries, deciding to brutally kill Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao before these people, letting them witness his power firsthand.
He extended his withered finger, with black Evil Qi swirling at the tip, slowly pointing toward Gu Sheng’s chest.
"Boy, I’ll rip out your heart to see what gives you the courage to stand before me."
Lishan Ancestor said with a sinister smile, his finger striking toward Gu Sheng like a sharp blade.
Light flickered in Gu Sheng’s eyes as he was about to act when suddenly—
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura descended from the sky, pressing down on everyone in the square.
Lishan Ancestor’s finger stopped abruptly three inches from Gu Sheng’s chest.
His face turned deathly pale instantly, blood seeping from his seven orifices.
"Puff!"
Lishan Ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering back several steps, eyes filled with shock.
The chief disciple fared even worse, collapsing to the ground directly, his poisonous sword clattering to the ground.
He cried out in terror.
"Who?! Who is it?!"
The evil cultivator disciples in the square fell like wheat being harvested.
The mortals in captivity felt the pressure too but strangely were unharmed.
Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao exchanged glances, seeing the understanding in each other’s eyes.
"Finally here."
Gu Sheng said softly, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile.
A figure descended from the sky, landing heavily in the square center, kicking up a circle of dust.
