Chapter 55: The Prison of the Seven Killings

At this moment, the gazes of everyone from the Mystic Dan Sect fell squarely upon Ji Qingyou.

They clearly remembered that it was Ji Qingyou who had brought them into the Great Dao Sect, and even the Great Dao Sect Master, Ye Zhetian, had personally come out to welcome them!

There had to be some unspeakable collusion between the two of them!

"His name is Gai Jiuyou!"

"He is connected to the Great Dao Sect!"

"I saw with my own eyes as Ye Zhetian came out personally to greet him!"

"Everyone, capture him and interrogate him thoroughly!"

Bai Feng immediately jumped up and down from the side, pointing straight at Lin Jun.

The expression of the Vajra Sect Master instantly darkened.

The face of the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master likewise filled with resentment.

"Junior, is this really true?"

"Speak! What is your exact relationship with the Great Dao Sect? Was it you and that Ye Zhetian who conspired to trick us into this place? Are you trying to use us to practice some kind of demonic arts?"

Hearing these accusations,

Swish!

The members of the Mystic Dan Sect hurriedly retreated, looking at Ji Qingyou with eyes full of suspicion.

Gu Ya stood beside Ji Qingyou, glaring angrily at those who had backed away.

"What are you all doing?! He brought us into the Great Dao Sect precisely so you could break through your realms!"

"Shut your mouth! Who knows if he had already arranged this with Ye Zhetian just to trap and ruin our Mystic Dan Sect!"

Someone shouted angrily.

"Since that's the case, it's better to kill an innocent than to let a guilty one escape. After a soul-search, everything will come to light!"

The Heavenly Emperor Sect Master wore a vicious expression.

"I agree!"

"True or false, let's take him down first!"

"Do it!"

"What are you doing?! Anyone who dares to harm Jiuyou makes an enemy of the Mystic Dan Sect!"

Gu Ya stepped squarely in front of Ji Qingyou, unleashing her Foundation Establishment aura and glaring fiercely at the crowd.

"Gu Ya, if you want to seek death, don't drag us down with you!"

The Grand Elder wore an angry expression as he pulled the Mystic Dan Sect disciples into a rapid retreat.

Gu Ya's face turned livid, knowing full well that the two of them were no match for this crowd.

With a cold face, she whispered to Ji Qingyou, "When the fight starts, you run first! Leave this to me!"

Hearing Gu Ya's resolute tone, Ji Qingyou felt a faint warmth stir in her heart.

This Gu Ya was deeply loyal and valued righteousness; she would be worthy of heavy responsibilities in the future.

"Get behind me." Ji Qingyou looked coldly at the crowd, gently pushing Gu Ya behind her.

"No, you must run!" Seeing him act this way, Gu Ya grew frantic.

"Hmph, stop putting on a show in front of us. There's no need for you to fight over who dies first—since you both want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

With that, the Vajra Sect Master abruptly lunged toward Gu Ya!

Gu Ya's face instantly turned ashen white!

This was an attack from the Nascent Soul stage; if she were struck, she would undoubtedly die!

"Do you all really think I am easy to bully?"

Ji Qingyou gazed coldly at the crowd and raised her hand. A miniature puppet materialized, driven by her spiritual soul power, and rapidly expanded in size.

It burst forth with an aura comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, even faintly touching the threshold of Deity Transformation!

This puppet was precisely what Lin Jun had refined over the past few days using the Seven-Kill Divine Statues. While its might could not compare to a true God-Demon Puppet, it was more than enough for Ji Qingyou's avatar to protect herself!

Boom!

The Seven-Kill Puppet erupted with a tide of spiritual energy, carrying a trace of Deity Transformation aura as it rolled overwhelmingly toward the crowd.

"Not good! Fall back!"

The crowd was terrified, but fast as they were, the Seven-Kill Puppet, controlled by Ji Qingyou's soul power, was even faster!

Boom!

In a single instant, all those who had launched the attack were sent flying backward!

"Jiuyou, you..." Gu Ya stood behind Ji Qingyou, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Ji Qingyou remained expressionless. Though she viewed these people as mere clowns, going through these trials made her feel that her soul power was growing stronger.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before she could fully bear the "God-Demon Resentment" residing within her main body.

"And you still claim you have nothing to do with the Great Dao Sect! You even possess the puppets that Lin Jun is skilled at refining!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Feng grew even more furious.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"He's Lin Jun's spy!"

"Kill him and we'll break free!"

Fanned by Bai Feng's instigation, the cultivators from various major sects grew enraged. Though they feared Ji Qingyou's Seven-Kill Puppet, relying on their sheer numbers,

they swarmed forward to attack Ji Qingyou all at once!

In the blink of an eye, divine arts and magical techniques filled the entire sky!

If anyone were hit by that barrage, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would meet certain death.

"You really are tired of living."

Ji Qingyou's eyes turned icy. In an instant, her soul power erupted fully, driving the Seven-Kill Puppet until it glowed brilliantly, its Deity Transformation aura growing denser and denser!

As another wave of radiance rose, forming a ring that expanded outward from the Seven-Kill Puppet, that trace of Deity Transformation aura acted like a blazing sun, instantly causing the attacks of the crowd to melt away like snow under the sun, its momentum unchecked as it crushed directly toward them!

"Ah! My head!"

"He really is a fiend!"

"Kill him! He's the one who trapped us here!"

"He's a devil from the Great Dao Sect!"

In an instant, wails echoed across the area.

Only a few individuals remained standing, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Having finished all this, Ji Qingyou's face turned slightly pale.

With her current level of soul power, driving this Seven-Kill Puppet was still somewhat taxing.

"I have no grudge against you all; don't force me to wipe you out completely!"

Ji Qingyou looked at them expressionlessly. If these people truly refused to know what was good for them, she wouldn't mind burying them all right here.

However, someone shouted out,

"Charge together! As powerful as that puppet is, it might not be able to kill all of us at once!"

"Since that's what you want, then you can all go die." Ji Qingyou's expression turned cold, and instantly, the Seven-Kill Divine Statue erupted with earth-shattering might!

Driven by Ji Qingyou's powerful soul power, it unleashed half of a Deity Transformation expert's might!

"You dare?!"

The expressions of the various sect members shifted drastically in unison, and they fearfully threw up protective barriers.

Yet the very next moment, those barriers shattered together!

"Puff!"

In a flash, severed limbs flew through the air, figures tumbled to the ground, and blood flowed like a river!

Ji Qingyou remained expressionless, though her complexion grew even paler.

A mutual defeat!

"What a wonderful show."

Right at that moment, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a figure in black slowly materialized in the sky.

As she looked at this person, a flash crossed Ji Qingyou's eyes, and she found them exceptionally familiar.
