Chapter 228: Offering Sacrifice To Heaven
After Ling Mo spoke those cold words sentence by sentence, these hundreds of people had already lost half their courage.
“Do any of you still feel that you have been wronged?”
With a cold smile, Ling Mo walked straight into the midst of this group of people.
Suddenly… a beam of light flashed, and someone actually shot a short arrow from the shadows.
From this angle, it was exactly Ling Mo’s vital point!
“Sect Master, be careful…”
The first to react was Dugu Bo. In rage, Dugu Bo directly unleashed his Martial Soul, and instantly the air began to condense.
Just as everyone thought that Hidden Weapon would hit Ling Mo, they saw a light flash in his eyes, instantly shooting out.
That short arrow disintegrated instantly, and the person who shot it had his body directly split open, turned into blood mist, not even leaving a corpse.
“This…”
Ling Mo’s sudden move shocked everyone, and the crowd looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
All of this happened too quickly; even they hadn’t reacted.
“Such cold killing intent. In that instant just now, even I felt a trace of danger…”
Below the Training Ground, the crowd whispered to each other, deterred by Ling Mo’s earlier move.
These people didn’t know Ling Mo’s strength and originally thought that at his age, he was at most a Soul Venerable.
But they never imagined that in that instant just now, everyone was wrong.
Ling Mo’s strength was far more than a Soul Venerable! On the contrary, among the people present, no one except Dugu Bo could match Ling Mo’s strength.
Even those few Soul Sages felt a trace of danger.
“What is the Sect Master’s strength now? It’s truly terrifying. If that strike had been aimed at me, I definitely wouldn’t have reacted in time…”
A Soul Sage said with lingering fear, grateful that he hadn’t been the one sneak attacked, or he would surely have died.
“Since coming up the mountain, I’ve never seen the Sect Master display his strength. I never expected to witness it today…”
Another wave of discussion arose below, marveling at Ling Mo’s reaction speed.
The gaze returned to the stairs…
“Very good! It seems your will to survive is very strong…”
Ling Mo said coldly. What happened just now was merely a deterrent. Want to sneak attack him?
What a joke. All Hidden Weapons were refined by Ling Mo. In this world, when it came to using Hidden Weapons, only Tang San could barely match Ling Mo.
As for the others, don’t even think about it! Even a sneak attack was impossible.
“Since you all want to die so badly, then I’ll personally send you on your way…”
After Ling Mo finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, Three Thousand Armored Soldiers instantly appeared, pressing these hundreds of people onto the steps.
“Kneel!”
Facing the Stone Tablet, Ling Mo shouted coldly.
“This Stone Tablet is the Ghost Gate’s Sect Rules! The foundation stone…
As the saying goes, without rules, nothing can be accomplished.
Now that the Ghost Gate’s Sect Rules are initially established, let’s use these people to lay the foundation for the Ghost Gate’s Sect Rules…
I know you may all be puzzled as to why not give them a chance to reform.
Here, I want to say that I have already given them opportunities, from the moment they joined, I have always been giving them chances.
Unfortunately, no one cherished them! Since they don’t cherish them, then… only death!”
After Ling Mo finished speaking, he didn’t rush to execute but turned his gaze below.
The purpose of killing these people, besides cleaning the sect, was mainly to deter other restless individuals.
If they couldn’t be made to feel fear, similar incidents would happen again…
At this moment, the field below was deathly silent, with everyone feeling chills in their hearts.
Seeing Ling Mo’s gaze sweep over, everyone avoided it, filled with fear and unease.
“Those who betray the sect will be killed without mercy! Execute…”
After saying that, the Three Thousand Armored Soldiers acted directly, instantly staining the Stone Tablet with blood, and the entire field was shocked.
With the Three Thousand Armored Soldiers acting simultaneously, the heads of those hundreds were directly chopped off, and their blood stained the Stone Tablet.
They wanted to resist, but… facing these Three Thousand Armored Soldiers, they had no ability to resist.
This was the cruelty of this world.
Without strength, you can’t even decide your own life and death.
After cleaning up the spies, Ling Mo looked toward the crowd and said, “Everyone, don’t panic! Starting today, everything in the sect returns to normal. Cultivate if you should cultivate, do what you should do.
These traitors are not worth your sympathy. Here, I also hope everyone takes this as a warning…
I don’t want similar incidents to happen again. Once discovered, there will be no room for bargaining.
My principle for dealing with traitors has always been to eradicate them completely. If there are any who don’t believe it, feel free to act wantonly.”
Ling Mo’s heart showed no fluctuation as he spoke sentence by sentence, making the crowd feel chills.
If anyone had such inclinations at the beginning, after these hundreds died, they had completely dispelled those thoughts.
“Sect Master…” Dugu Bo was just about to say something when Ling Mo directly interrupted him.
“Among you, there are still a few traitor remnants. I’m giving you a chance now: step forward yourselves, and I can spare your lives…”
Ling Mo waved his hand to interrupt Dugu Bo and continued looking below.
“What? There are more?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked. They thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, there were still traitors.
This immediately caused a stir, with the crowd starting to whisper and casting suspicious glances at those beside them.
“There are more?” Even Dugu Bo was stunned. He had caught everyone he could; how could there still be more?
The only possibility was that these people were hiding too deeply, showing no movement even when their companions were caught.
Ling Mo had already spoken, but… after waiting five minutes, still no one stepped forward.
Feeling extremely annoyed inside, he said coldly, “Very good. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it! Do you really think I can’t find you if you don’t step forward?”
With that, Ling Mo began walking down…
Instantly, the entire team grew tense, with everyone filled with fear and unease.
“Get out…”
Walking into the team, Ling Mo kicked a disciple flying out with one foot.
However… he seemed prepared and actually tried to resist.
But… before he could unleash his Martial Soul, he was kicked flying by Ling Mo.
“Seize him…”
With a cold command, two Yin Soldiers moved out directly, locking the man firmly.
Ling Mo continued to scrutinize with his Dual Pupils, but this consumed a great deal of his Soul Power. Ling Mo couldn’t scrutinize everyone.
“I’ll give you one more chance! Step forward, and I can guarantee you won’t die…”
The only way now was to bluff some out first; otherwise, checking one by one would exhaust Ling Mo’s Soul Power.
“I remember I said that these eyes of mine can see through past and present lives, past and future!
Everything you’ve done in the past cannot be hidden from me!
Don’t harbor any illusions of luck; step forward proactively, and I won’t kill you…”
Ling Mo swept a cold gaze over and kicked another disciple in front of him flying out. This was already the second one; those hiding in the crowd began to panic.
“Don’t make me find you one by one. Those I find will be unable to leave the Ghost Gate alive, just like those hundreds!”
With that, Ling Mo continued walking into the team. Those he kicked out were the ones he had observed earlier as suspicious.
From the beginning, their movements had been strange, so Ling Mo had targeted them directly.
