Chapter 130: Heavenly Dao Forgives Her, I Won’t!

A grand voice rolled across the world: “The contract is sealed.” As the sound faded, the single eye in the sky also vanished.

Mo Liu Su knelt like a statue, staring blankly ahead as if frozen. In that moment, her mind flew back to the day months ago when Zhou Tong was expelled from the sect. Back then she stood so high above him, framed him, watched him struggle to defend himself, and forced him to sign a severance contract. He even had to abolish his cultivation.

Now the blow had returned to her like a boomerang. Forced by calamity and pressed by the Heavenly Dao, she had signed an atonement contract. She felt more helpless than Zhou Tong had been, yet she was not innocent. Every bit of this was the result of her own choices.

A low sob escaped her. Then Mo Liu Su began to tremble without control. Today her atonement began. The five punishments would rotate over her body. They were not as terrible as the three calamities and four tribulations, yet they still made her wish for death. Worse, she would suffer this pain two hours every day, and only after ten years would it end.

In utter pain, she looked up with regret and called out: “Disciple… my Tong’er…” She saw two Zhou Tongs looking down at her from the sky, their eyes cold and unfeeling. Facing those sharp gazes, she finally understood what true regret was. [No matter what, I must win him back this time.] She promised herself that this time she was sincere.

Under many scornful looks, she limped into the air and reached Zhou Tong’s side. But she halted right away. Two “Zhou Tongs” stood together. At a glance they were the same. She could not tell who was the true body and who was the guest elder.

From the start, her thinking had gone into a ditch. She never guessed that the guest elder was Zhou Tong’s true body.

She asked in a shaking voice: “You… which one of you is my disciple?”

Both men answered at the same time and pointed at each other: “He is!”

That cut her to the heart.

She pleaded in a hoarse whisper: “Disciple, I truly know I was wrong. Why can’t you give me one chance?”

Qian Miao Yu said from the side with a cold sneer: “You are not sorry. You only know you are about to die.”

Mo Liu Su glared at her. Qian Miao Yu lifted her chin and said: “What, not convinced? Want to fight me in the ring?” She would not humor this woman. What kind of worthless person dared bother her guest elder, who was like a figure from the heavens?

Mo Liu Su said with anger and shame: “I only want my disciple back. You are an outsider. Do not meddle.”

Qian Miao Yu laughed: “That is the funniest joke of the last hundred years. If you do not have a mirror, you at least have a puddle. Look at your shabby face. It is painfully ugly. With that look, how are you fit to be a teacher?”

Panic flashed over Mo Liu Su’s face. Her beauty had always been her pride, but now she only felt small. She had never felt this before. Maybe it was because Qian Miao Yu was too bright and lovely, or because she did not want Zhou Tong to see her so pitiful. She raised her sleeve and scrubbed at the dust on her face, then forced a smile full of humble hope.

She stepped up to Lian Han Xing, took her hands, and said softly: “Tong’er, stop fooling around and come back with your teacher. I will make it up to you.”

A sharp crack rang out as Lian Han Xing slapped her: “Get lost!” She did not hold back. It was a true Reincarnation Realm strike.

Mo Liu Su swayed, cried out in pain, and tears filled her eyes. She said in a faint voice: “I am sorry, guest elder.” Her spirit felt worn thin. On any other day she would never have let this go. By her rough guess, this “Zhou Tong” had at least Reincarnation Realm strength, so he could not be her true disciple. In her mind, Zhou Tong had only recently been crippled.

Her result was right, but her thinking was all wrong. At that moment, Zhou Tong’s true body held Half-Saint level power.

Mo Liu Su looked up with a timid light of affection in her eyes and begged: “I… I made a wish to the Heavenly Dao to repay my past sins. Please forgive your teacher this once. I will prove my sincerity with actions.”

Zhou Tong gave a cold smile. He copied Lian Han Xing’s move and struck even harder. His slap snapped her head to the side. Mo Liu Su’s eyes rolled white and she fainted, falling straight toward the ground.

Chen Ling’er shouted: “Master!” Without thinking, she rushed down to catch her. She could not just watch. After all, Mo Liu Su had raised her and that kindness could not be thrown away.

Lian Han Xing glanced at Zhou Tong with a wicked smile and said: “You were so decisive. I think she really does feel regret. If you had forgiven her, maybe she would obey you from now on. With the punishment of the calamity, you might even turn her into your female slave…”

Lian Han Xing stopped when she met Zhou Tong’s icy stare. He said flatly: “Do not say such disgusting things while wearing that face.”

Lian Han Xing blinked in surprise and said: “I did not expect you to be a gentleman who never takes advantage of others.”

Zhou Tong said in a calm voice: “You are mistaken. I do not think taking advantage is disgusting. Forgiving her is what is disgusting.”

Lian Han Xing was stunned: “But even the Heavenly Dao gave her a chance to change.”

Zhou Tong said with firm finality: “The Heavenly Dao forgives her. I won’t.”

At that moment, space shook hard. Endless blood energy boiled up from every side and rushed together into one point. People below stirred in fear and clutched at their chests. It was clear the crisis of the Life Extinguishing Desolation Array was not over.

Zhou Tong drew a deep breath and said in a low voice: “It is coming.” His eyes were steady. [I knew it. Zhao Wu Tian is still alive.]

Sure enough, a broken figure formed inside the thick blood mist. Zhao Wu Tian’s body lacked all four limbs. His chest and belly were split open, and even his organs were not whole. His two eyes glowed green like lanterns from Hell. He looked like a ghost that had climbed out of the Underworld.

He smiled in a thin voice and said: “Didn’t expect this, did you? I am back. Fate stands with me. What does not kill me will always make me stronger.”

Even Zhou Tong had to respect his toughness and caution, and his face turned serious. At the edge of death, Zhao Wu Tian had blown himself up on purpose, merged his soul into the great array, and then used the array’s blood energy to revive. No wonder Zhou Tong could not find him with spirit sense. It was truly a way to die and then be reborn.

Zhao Wu Tian laughed wildly and said: “Your face finally changed. You see the truth now. I am invincible. I have an indestructible body, life without age or death, and the power of the array. Who can match me?”

A voice cut him off with a sharp, scolding snap: “Keep dreaming.”

A ball of light shot in from far away and blasted most of Zhao Wu Tian’s broken body apart. It was the Power of the Primordial One. Senior sister Zhang Chu Qiao had arrived.
