Chapter 825: 825 - Your punishment will be worse
"Don’t feel bad for me—it was my decision. I married him out of love, but I always made it very clear that I wouldn’t stay married to a coward.
The moment he bowed his head and allowed you and Rou’er to enter that place—knowing full well what would happen—he proved himself unworthy. He sacrificed Xue Hua’s love in the name of the sect’s own greed."
"I see..."
Qingyi didn’t dwell on the subject, clearly sensing the discomfort etched on Feiyue’s face.
He simply followed her through the sect’s corridors in silence, their footsteps echoing faintly against the polished stone as his mind sank into deep thought.
Honestly, he had no idea what to do about the Cosmic Void Sect.
With Feiyue’s support, even if he wanted to wipe out that sect completely and confiscate all its resources, he could do so without much effort.
No one there would dare question him about it.
This was the worst betrayal he had ever suffered in his entire life, far worse than that of the king of the Blue Sea Kingdom, who had sold everything belonging to Meilin to her brother upon believing that Qingyi was dead.
On both occasions, everything had been driven by greed, but this time, his own life had been in real danger.
The leader of the Cosmic Void Sect knew full well that he could die, and yet he hadn’t said a single word.
So lost in thought, Qingyi barely noticed when he finally stood before the sect leader. Bai Xuankong knelt in chains, his face marked by vivid red welts from slaps, his lip slightly swollen.
"You scoundrel! How dare you try to do something like this to little Rou’er? To Qingyi? Don’t tell me you didn’t have the option to refuse them!"
A tearful voice cracked through the hall, followed by another slap that rang out across the sect leader’s face, the sharp sound echoing off the walls.
It was Madame Lan, wife of the leader of the Cosmic Void Sect.
A beautiful and voluptuous MILF, every generous curve of her mature body trembling with rage.
Her rosy cheeks flushed a deep pink, her long black hair slightly disheveled, every part of her showing the fury raging within.
Bai Xuankong remained silent, his eyes closed in deep thought.
As she stepped away from her husband and turned, Madame Lan finally met Qingyi’s gaze.
Something sparked in her eyes for a brief moment before tears welled up. She stepped forward and embraced him tightly.
Qingyi let out a heavy sigh.
He felt the generous weight of those huge, mature tits against his chest, the tender flesh flattening around the contact, squeezing against his torso like two warm, supple cushions.
Every sinuous curve of that voluptuous body molded against his own, her flat belly flush against his abdomen, her wide hips pressed against his as she trembled between stifled sobs.
The sweet scent of her hair filled his nostrils, and with each trembling breath, those ample breasts quivered softly against his chest, her stiff nipples straining hard through the thin fabric of her dress.
He didn’t allow himself to take advantage of that. He wasn’t that low.
"Please... have mercy..." she whimpered against his shoulder, her warm breath brushing against his neck, drawing another sigh from him.
"I promise I’ll be fair. Stay with Rou’er and Xue Hua for now," he said, gently pushing her away and allowing her to leave, escorted by a few of her many maidservants.
Before long, only he, the sect leader, and Feiyue remained in the silent hall.
The other Stellar Sovereigns were confined to a separate area.
"Things didn’t go as you planned, did they?" Qingyi said, his icy voice cutting through the heavy silence.
Finally, Bai Xuankong’s eyes slowly opened.
He was a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Stellar Sovereign Realm, one of the most fearsome beings in the entire northern region.
But what could he do in the face of a Qingyi backed by a Celestial Empress?
He had already prepared for everything, including a direct war against the Cosmic Dawn Sect as soon as Qingyi and Rou’er disappeared into the secret realm.
With the resources he would receive as a reward, he would quickly reach the Cosmic Emperor Realm and help several elders attain the Stellar Sovereign Realm.
After that, all he would need to do was push back the Cosmic Dawn Sect and prepare to advance toward the central region.
"No..." Bai Xuankong finally replied.
His lips curved into a bitter smile, his eyes lost in some distant point.
He had failed completely.
"I didn’t want them to kill you," he stated, his voice hoarse. "I did it for Rou’er’s sake and for the sake of the sect. The people behind her were her own grandmothers!"
"You did it out of greed and cowardice... no, just out of greed.
How could they have gotten here without your help? It would have been impossible. I saw the formations on the jade platform; they were specially modified so that their portals would connect to the Celestial Heaven.
You knew my character well enough; you knew I’d die before letting them take Rou’er, and yet you accepted that deal. You went through with it for nothing but pure greed."
Qingyi rose slowly, glaring at the sect leader with a look of utter contempt.
"I respect your wife, and I respect the love she feels for you. If it weren’t for that, I would simply kill you and take her as a concubine as punishment."
"But I won’t do that. Your punishment will be worse."
"Bai Xuankong, Leader of the Cosmic Void Sect."
Xuankong clenched his teeth tightly, a muscle throbbing in his jaw.
"You and all the Stellar Sovereigns of your sect will be taken, under Feiyue’s protection, to the Cosmic Dawn Sect," Qingyi declared coldly. "There, you will willingly receive my father-in-law’s soul seal. The Cosmic Void Sect will then become a vassal sect of the Cosmic Dawn Sect."
