The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Once the order was given, the yamen runners went beyond mere intimidation and began to roughly drive away and shove the kneeling elderly men.

"No! My lord! Have mercy!"

"Let the children go! We're not leaving!"

"Have you no regard for the law?! Have you no sense of justice?!"

The old men cried out and struggled, clinging tightly to the legs of the soldiers beside them, trying to use their aged bodies to protect the two children not far behind them.

But how could they possibly contend with the strong and burly yamen runners? They were quickly forcibly lifted up and dragged away from the spot.

It's noon now.

But not only was Mu Yangyan present, the presence of the Blood Robe Sect was not detected at the scene.

The executioner stepped forward again with a stiff expression, holding a token that symbolized the time had come, and looked at the high platform for instructions.

Chen Feng seemed to sense Xie Yunfeng's hesitation, and before the other could speak, he knelt down on one knee: "My lord! Things have come to this point, please don't give up halfway!"

"The most important thing right now is that the time has come!"

"The Blood-Clad Sect is cunning; they're surely watching from the shadows, waiting to see if we'll actually dare to carry out the execution!"

"If we hesitate now, they will surely assume we are just bluffing and will never show ourselves!"

"The best we can do now is make them believe we're serious! We have to draw blood! Only then can we shatter their illusions and force them to show themselves!"

"The charade must be made real! Only then can the deadlock be broken!"

Is this fake relationship turning real?!

Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the execution chamber seemed to plummet to freezing!

"Chen Feng! Are you crazy?!"

Cui Yi could no longer remain silent and shouted angrily, "Based on this kid's various actions, it's hard not to suspect that he is a spy sent by the evil cultivators."

"Cui Yi! Don't be so soft-hearted!"

"With the greater good at stake, how can we be concerned with the loss of one or two insignificant lives?!"

"Sacrificing the individual for the greater good—that is the way of an official and a general!"

"If you're worried about getting your hands dirty or taking the blame, then I, Chen Feng, will handle it!"

"My lord! Hesitation will only lead to trouble!"

"Please give the order, sir! I will take full responsibility for all the crimes!"

Just as Cui Yi was about to continue arguing his case, a chill suddenly shot from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

He was shocked to find that, apart from him, everyone else present had remained calm!

as if……

They tacitly approved the continuation of this plan!

Silence again.

A suffocating silence.

Xie Yunfeng sighed heavily: "Cui Yi, Chen Feng is right this time."

"The plan has already progressed to this point, and we're in a bind."

"If we give up because of a soft heart, not only will all our previous efforts be wasted, but the prestige of the Demon Suppression Division will also be ruined."

"Are you aware that this matter has already alarmed the royal court!"

The so-called royal attendants were a special position established by the Great Yan royal family to better control each county and city.

Although their cultivation level is generally below the Golden Core realm, they are ultimately backed by the royal family.

Even a Golden Core Realm expert like Song Ziwei would have to show some respect to the royal family's retainers.

Today's events have caused quite a stir, and the royal family's officials will certainly not turn a blind eye.

If this is not handled properly, and the news reaches the ears of the Great Yan Emperor, who knows what that suspicious old man will think.

Your heart is hard to fathom!

As Xie Yunfeng nodded, the official in charge of supervising the execution closed his eyes helplessly and threw the command arrow he was holding to the ground.

"cut--!"

The hoarse roar, drawn out in a long tone, was like the tolling of a death knell, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present!

This is really going to be murder!

The unusually burly executioner and the frail figure kneeling on the guillotine formed a stark contrast!

"Little one! Don't be a weirdo!"

"Blame it on you not being born into a good family. May you find a good family in your next life and live a happy and peaceful life!"

The executioner took a deep breath, his arm muscles bulging, and he raised the heavy, demon-headed broadsword high!

Below, the girl let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"Kill me if you want! Kill me!!"

"Spare my sister! Please! Spare her!!"

"She's only seven! She doesn't know anything! Please! Please, sir!!"

The boy's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a desperate wail!

The executioner ignored him, his arm muscles bulging as he swung it downwards with a sudden, powerful motion!

A flash of light!

boom!

The hilt of the sword that the executioner had chopped off seemed to be snapped off by something, shattering into pieces in mid-air and flying everywhere!

On the broken log, the girl only felt a gust of wind at her neck, but the expected excruciating pain did not come.

She opened her eyes blankly, only to see a shower of falling metal shards.

In front of them, there was a long sword that had flown in from who-knows-where.

"The knife...the knife is broken?!"

"What's going on?!"

"A master has appeared! A master has made a move!!"

"Who is it?!"

The executioner was so angry that his face turned blue. This was a public slap in the face, and he was being treated like a dog!

These cultivators!

Let him make his move while secretly taking action yourself!

What the hell?!

"Anyone who dares to obstruct the execution is considered an accomplice and will be executed on the spot!"

On the high platform, Cui Yi slowly withdrew his right hand. He had made his decision the moment he threw the sword.

It's better to abandon this Demon Suppression Division!

Even so, this will disrupt our peaceful life once again.

Even so, it would force him to leave the Demon Suppression Division, which he had worked so hard to get into.

But he's already cultivated immortality, so why does he still have to suffer the humiliation of being someone else's dog?

And they still want to act as henchmen for this corrupt dynasty?

Once he leaves the Demon Suppression Bureau, is Cui Yi no longer able to establish himself in this world?

No, that won't happen!

With the Floating Pagoda as a safety net, we can simply develop our strength cautiously for a while and eventually destroy the Great Yan Dynasty!

Not to mention, there is also a soul entity of unknown realm inside the Pagoda!

Dry!

Do it if you don't accept it!

With that sword talisman in hand, he could take away at least three people below the Nascent Soul stage!

"Cui...Cui Yi?! Are you crazy?!"

Chen Feng was the first to react, his finger trembling as he pointed at him, "You actually dared to storm the execution ground?!"

"This is treason! A capital offense!!"

Cui Yi did not answer him directly. Instead, he flashed and landed on the guillotine the next second, standing straight.

The black-clad armor of the Demon Suppression Division fluttered slightly amidst the turbulent airflow caused by their true energy. Far from appearing disheveled, it added a touch of chivalry to their appearance.

His face showed no sign of madness, only an almost deathly calm.

"Crazy? Maybe."

"I'm just wondering, where exactly does the root of all this absurdity and injustice lie today?"

"The root of the problem lies not in those two ignorant children, nor in Mu Yangyan's extreme actions!"

"The root of the problem lies in the ten taels of compensation money that were withheld and swallowed up!"

"It lies with those so-called blood relatives who refuse to help those in dire need!"

"In a world where people are desperate and have nowhere to turn, their cries for help go unanswered!"

"You keep talking about laws and order."

"But where was this law, this order, when the Mu Yangyan family was driven to the brink of despair?!"

"When those elderly people knelt on the ground, weeping and pleading their grievances, how much of what you heard?!"

Everything has a cause and effect! Today's outcome is the result of the seeds sown by past injustices!

"These two children shouldn't have died."

"Mu Yangyan will pay for his crimes!"

"But today's guillotine cannot sever the true root of the evil; it will only deepen resentment and make this world colder!"

"My actions today, Cui Yi, are not for rebellion, nor are they for storming the execution ground!"

"To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, and to speak out for the people!"
