Chapter 86

The sword slashed across Xu Dafa's forehead, piercing through his headguard.

In the aftermath of the极限刀华 (Limit Blade Flower) left by Heng Yi, the white light mist triggered by his subsequent attacks suddenly burst forth, instantly engulfing the dazed Xu Dafa in a blinding white light!

Amidst the white light, there were still raging red flames.

At this moment, Heng Yi showed no mercy.

He thought of the indignation of his junior disciples in the valley towards the city god's son.

After burying the city god's son, Dayuan had said, "That was the will of the people. As the saying goes, the will of heaven is the will of the masses."

And the scene of Xu Dafa's death was so similar to that of the city god's son in the past.

In mid-air, Xu Dafa, who was fleeing, was almost simultaneously struck by Xu Wenfeng's sword on his back, burned all over by Chen Zizai's fireball, and slashed across his forehead by Heng Yi, who suddenly appeared in front of him.

The white light, the flames, and the blood splattering from his back formed a scene that left the trainees speechless.

The voices that had been shouting in anger all fell silent; the peak sect disciples who followed Xu Dafa, like Xia, were stunned.

They all saw that when the white light column disappeared, Xu Dafa's back had stopped bleeding, and his body, burned black by the flames, fell from the air like a piece of trash.

Finally, he landed in the center of the captive Shadow Clan, and the underfed young Shadow Clan members swarmed over, sharing the charred food that had fallen from the sky.

Xu Dafa was dead, thoroughly and completely dead.

Heng Yi felt a great weight lifted, and the magical artifact in his hand turned into light and flew into the dragon-shaped mark on his forehead.

In the silent crowd, one by one, cries of weeping began to rise.

These were the cries of the women who had been bullied by Xu Dafa, a mix of sorrow and joy.

"Killed well, killed well..." The captain of Xixiang Mountain sat on the ground, unable to express his joy and relief.

Xu Dafa's death saved the long-legged goddess.

He hadn't managed to save the beautiful goddess, but today he had done his best to save the long-legged goddess, and he had done something...

"Xu Dafa was killed by me, Xu Wenfeng, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

"Xu Dafa was killed by me, Chen Zizai, as I enforced the family law!"

Xu Wenfeng and Chen Zizai's clear voices almost simultaneously rang out—

Heng Yi was slightly taken aback, seeing Xu Wenfeng look up at him with a smile. "You are my brother. Since you said you would definitely kill him, and so many people believed you, he must die. If he doesn't die, all those who have faith in you will die! I will take the consequences of killing him. The peak sect owes more than just one life, and even if Xu Dafa's life is used to pay, the peak sect can't do anything to me."

"Ridiculous! Xu Dafa clearly died from my Chen Zizai's flames, what does it have to do with you?" Chen Zizai sneered, acting as if the credit belonged solely to her.

Heng Yi finally understood...

Xu Wenfeng and Chen Zizai both wanted to take the blame. Killing Xu Dafa was not a merit but a disaster.

And now, both of them were vying to take on this disaster for him.

Heng Yi took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and shouted clearly, "Xu Dafa died under my sword, as everyone saw. I, Heng Yi, killed him as part of the training rules, with a clear conscience. When we return to the peak sect, please bear witness for me, Heng Yi, that Xu Dafa was killed by me, Heng Yi!"

The captain of Xixiang Mountain suddenly stood up and shouted, "If the sect leader wants to punish, I will bear it with you!"

"Me too!" The long-legged goddess raised her head and shouted.

Almost simultaneously, voices rose one after another, shouting similar words.

"Me too!"

"I will bear it with you! Killing him was right, he deserved to die!"

"Kill us all if you want, I'll die happily!"

...

In the crowd, Hu Baijie also wanted to shout, but there were too many voices, and one more or less wouldn't make a difference. She couldn't distinguish who was shouting.

She couldn't shout, and looking at Heng Yi, who was fearless in mid-air, she felt that he was getting farther and farther away from her.

Hai Shan didn't shout either. There were already too many people shouting. They were a team, and they didn't need to shout to show their commitment. They wouldn't avoid it and would bear it together.

Feeling the atmosphere around her, seeing Heng Yi in his sky-blue robe, standing fearlessly in the wind, Hai Shan couldn't help but glance at Hu Baijie, feeling sorry for her.

'Heng Yi is too extraordinary, Hu Baijie, Hu Baijie... how can you go on with him?'

Xu Wenfeng smiled and patted Heng Yi's shoulder, saying nothing.

Because there was no need to say anything.

Chen Zizai didn't blame Heng Yi either. Heng Yi had already spoken, and now the three of them arguing over the blame was pointless. They had all openly declared their intention to kill, and none of them could escape.

If they hadn't openly declared, they could have found an excuse when they returned to the peak sect.

Chen Zizai had planned to say that Heng Yi was just scaring Xu Dafa and had intended to save him, but she had impulsively killed him in a fit of anger, and Heng Yi hadn't had time to save him.

This would have left room for maneuver, but now there was no room.

Who among them had delivered the fatal blow to Xu Dafa was no longer important and couldn't be traced. The Death Sword's attack had already drained Xu Dafa of most of his true qi, and his cultivation was lower than any of the three. Any of their attacks could have killed him.

Chen Zizai looked down and said calmly, "Now—our team will assist in clearing the remaining Shadow Clan on Nanshuang Island."

Voices in the team training bead called out.

"You said you would do it, and we will keep our word. We will now clear the captive Shadow Clan, leaving none behind!"

No one opposed the clearance of the Shadow Clan. The trainees who followed Xu Dafa on Nanshuang Island all silently watched others slaughter the Shadow Clan they had been keeping, without a single voice of opposition.

Xu Dafa was dead.

Who would dare to challenge the decisions of Heng Yi, Xu Wenfeng, and Chen Zizai?

No one.

The captive Shadow Clan were cleared in just two hours.

Teams sent people to Nanshuang Island to use the rescue net to return the Seed Star humans to their original homes.

Crowds of Seed Star humans were taken away, but Heng Yi didn't see any familiar faces from the Water Blue Clan.

Many Seed Star humans who had been cutting and gathering returned from the surrounding forests.

In the crowd, a small figure ran out.

Seeing the child, Heng Yi finally smiled. The child was the boy who had insisted on offering the picked apple.

The Water Blue Clan boy fell at Heng Yi's feet, his forehead touching the ground. "Great and merciful god, you are the guardian of the Water Blue Clan. I, a humble one, humbly request to know your great divine name, so that your great deeds and merciful heart can be passed down through generations in the Water Blue Clan."

Heng Yi was at a loss. According to the training rules, trainees could not reveal their names to the Seed Star humans.

Chen Zizai smiled and said, "We are all called Xuanyuan. From now on, the Water Blue Clan will use Xuanyuan as their surname."

"Thank you, great and merciful Xuanyuan god for giving us a name!" The boy's voice was trembling with excitement.

Seeing Heng Yi's puzzled expression, Chen Zizai whispered, "In Earth's human history, there is the Xuanyuan clan. In training, this name is often used in such situations."

Heng Yi finally understood. Seeing only the boy and no other members of the Water Blue Clan, he asked, "Where are the others?"

"Great god, the Water Blue Clan angered the great god and offered their humble lives in the divine punishment..." The boy spoke devoutly, but his voice clearly carried suppressed sorrow.

"What happened?" Heng Yi felt a pang of worry, but the boy's answer was the same.

Chen Zizai's face darkened, and she advised Heng Yi not to worry, asking in the training bead.

Soon, a reply came from another team in the training bead.

"Xu Dafa hated Heng Yi. After the Blood Sea mutant died, he found out you were protecting the Water Blue Clan and fed them to the captive Shadow Clan..."

Heng Yi was overwhelmed with grief and anger, almost falling. Chen Zizai caught him, and Hu Baijie hurried to help.

Seeing his pale face and tears, she comforted him, "Don't be like this... Xu Dafa deserved to die, and you have already killed him."

Hai Shan said angrily, "Xu Dafa truly deserved to die! How could he take out his jealousy on unrelated people!"

Hai Yuntian remained silent, despite his indignation. He felt that he and Hai Shan had become strange. This was not an unusual thing; many sect members had done similar things. Even Hu San of the Lake and Sea Sect had destroyed many towns.

They had never felt angry before, but now they were upset for the Seed Star humans?

Heng Yi was silent for a long time, looking at the lonely boy still kneeling before him, thinking of the Water Blue Clan, which was now virtually extinct, leaving only him...

'Xu Dafa should have died at the hands of the Blood Sea mutant!'

Heng Yi remembered what Xu Wenfeng had said. Yes, some people must be eliminated.

But, Xu Dafa didn't die then!

He didn't die at the hands of the Blood Sea mutant, and as a result, more Seed Star humans were killed in the days that followed...

"At least, the Water Blue Clan still has him alive," Hu Baijie gently stroked Heng Yi's chest, comforting him. "Don't think too much about what has happened. As long as he is alive, the Water Blue Clan is not extinct. This is a fortunate thing."

Behind the boy, four figures who had been standing in the crowd for a long time approached, bowing and greeting, "Greetings, Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Heng Yi, Senior Sister Baijie..."

Chen Zizai frowned, scrutinizing them for a moment, and confirmed she had never seen them before. "Who are you?"

"We have long admired Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Heng Yi. When Xu Dafa ordered the Water Blue Clan to be fed to the Shadow Clan, we couldn't bear it and found an opportunity to save this boy..." The four briefly explained the situation, and the team leader added, "We are Black Moon's training teammates."

Listening to their words, Chen Zizai understood. These people had clearly been unable to capture Black Moon and feared Xu Dafa's wrath, so they had hoped for her protection. Knowing that blindly joining was inappropriate, they had saved this Water Blue Clan boy as a gesture.

Chen Zizai was puzzled. How could these people think of joining her? How could someone who didn't know the situation expect a newly returned illegitimate child to protect them from Xu Dafa's wrath?

"Your intentions are commendable, and I will remember you," Chen Zizai showed a friendly face, not fearing that there would be no opportunity to find out the truth.

The four people hurriedly bowed in thanks, without further words, naturally stepping back, gathering together, not going anywhere else. Chen Zizai's acceptance meant they were now part of her group. Wherever she went, they would follow, just as they had followed Xu Dafa.

Heng Yi grieved for a while, but the dead were gone, and the evildoer was dead. What mattered now was the living Water Blue Clan boy.

"Do you have a human-respecting magical artifact, Baijie?"
