Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1621: Chapter 414: Li Hao’s Tao Origin Immortal Seal (Double-Length)

"I was wrong; I shouldn’t have sent you to the frontier so early. You have never let me down, never!"

His trembling voice echoed, and Lin Yeqiu, with disheveled hair, trembled. His eyes, moist with tears, couldn’t hold back any longer, and tears streamed down his face, along with a runny nose, making him look extremely sloppy. No one could imagine that he was once a peerless genius of ethereal elegance and unparalleled beauty.

’Father... your child is unfilial...’

Lin Yeqiu cried out in grief; he no longer addressed him as ’old man’ but instead called him ’father.’

Besides them, among the other captives, there were also geniuses from the Jiang family saying their final farewells to Jiang Qiuyu.

They were all within the domain of the purple-robed middle-aged man, clearly seeing what was happening outside and understanding that this was indeed a final farewell.

Though sad, they felt grateful in their hearts, at least having the chance to say one last goodbye and express words unsaid.

The purple-robed middle-aged man’s face turned grim upon witnessing this scene, as he could read lips as well. He originally let these captives out so they could plead with their families for rescue, but not one of them appealed!

These damned bastards... His eyes revealed a vicious look, but now was not the time to torture them to death.

"Humph!"

The purple-robed middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand, and a force swept through. Many blade-like energies tore into the captives, interrupting their farewells.

Numerous wounds appeared on Su Hanshuang, Lin Yeqiu, and others, shredding their clothes into strips, staining them with blood.

As for the female captives like Su Wenyue, they were in an even worse state, not only injured but their clothes were sliced away, exposing their naked bodies under countless gazes.

"You!"

Su Zhenyuan’s entire body pulsed with rage, his eyes nearly aflame as he immediately took action, unleashing a wave of power.

At that moment, his reason was completely replaced by fury, and he directly struck out at the purple-robed middle-aged man.

The purple-robed middle-aged man seemed to anticipate this, smirking coldly as he unleashed an aura to block Su Zhenyuan’s attack.

Su Zhenyuan let out a roar, the pressure of a Half-step Emperor enveloping him as a mighty force surged out, conjuring two Immortal Shields that guarded Su Hanshuang and Su Wenyue.

Yet the purple-robed middle-aged man took the opportunity to unleash a black claw print carrying destructive power, tearing a piece of flesh from the inside of Su Zhenyuan’s arm.

Su Zhenyuan stepped forward, intending to strike again, while the golden-eyed man beside him also unleashed his aura, speaking in a cold voice:

"What, planning to break the rules?"

Su Zhenyuan gritted his teeth, forcing himself to hold back. Seeing his children covered by the Immortal Shield eased his heart somewhat.

"Ha, getting anxious already? Our Demons have plenty of interrogation methods; this is nothing."

The purple-robed middle-aged man chuckled lightly, indifferent to continuing to provoke Su Zhenyuan and the others.

However, seeing that Jiang Qiuyu and Lin Daogong were also about to lose control, he smiled faintly and said:

"Don’t say we didn’t give you a chance. We’ve brought the people here. If you can’t redeem them, don’t blame us. However, I might consider giving you another opportunity."

His eyes gleamed playfully, narrowing slightly, glinting with cunning and deep-seated chilly killing intent, "I’ll allow your defeated person to go back into the fray. This Lin family lad is your strongest, right? Even if he made a mistake earlier, we can give him another chance to fight!"

He smiled as he said, "As long as he can win, the stakes still count."

Hearing his words, Lin Zhexuan’s expression changed slightly; he hadn’t expected the focus to shift back to him.

Fight again? Impossible, the result would be the same.

Moreover, by doing this, they were using the captives to provoke them—now speaking like this, it was clearly intended to have Hei Ji kill him under the guise of another battle!

The intention was obvious.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the old ancestors from various noble families fell on Lin Zhexuan, showing anger but also complexity.

Previously, they were indeed angry that he didn’t burn his Primordial Spirit, surrendering too easily, but this purple-robed middle-aged man’s actions and intentions were too blatant!

Though filled with sorrow and grief, they had lived for tens of thousands of years, not easily swayed and controlled by emotion. It was clear they targeted the Human Race’s talents, intending to eliminate such threats as Lin Zhexuan!

Thus, this time, they did not urge Lin Zhexuan to fight again.

Internally, they could dispute, but against the Demons trying to exploit them, they must stand united.

It is precisely because of this that the Northern Domain Human Clan has persevered for many years, not falling prey to the Demons.

"Since I surrendered, I won’t fight again. If you have the skill, you can send her to battle me a thousand years from now!"

Lin Zhexuan said coldly.

The purple-robed middle-aged man sneered, for the plans a thousand years from now are a thousand years from now, he wouldn’t allow the other party to live that long.

"Got scared and don’t dare to fight again?"

The purple-robed middle-aged man said indifferently, "If you can win, one match will count as ten, redeeming ten people. Do you dare to fight?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere on site shifted slightly.

One fight to redeem ten people?

Even knowing the purple-robed middle-aged man’s intentions, they couldn’t help but feel a bit tempted.

Lin Zhexuan’s expression turned grim, placing him at the heart of the storm. If he cowered, while some might understand, could the countless ordinary residents of the Thirty-six Thousand Immortal Cities understand?

He looked up towards Lin Daogong. Refusing on his own would tarnish his reputation, but if others helped decline on his behalf, explaining the stakes, the impact on him would be much less.
