Chapter 440
They arrived at Wellspring Square.The fountain at its center flowed as usual, its quiet sound contrasting with the silence that formed the moment the group appeared at the edge of the square. One by one, people who had been passing through slowed their steps. A disciple carrying training equipment stopped. A trader about to sort his goods stopped. Ordinary elders who happened to be passing through that path stopped.Within minutes, the square that normally buzzed with foot traffic had become a still crowd, all eyes facing one direction.Grand Leader Mo Tianjue was walking alongside seven Grand Elders and one man they didn't recognize but who stood in a position that couldn't be ignored.Whispers broke out among the crowd.Then Kael turned to the seven elders behind him and said in a perfectly ordinary tone, "Sit in a row. Show me your backs."All seven did as they were told without asking questions, but their expressions couldn't hide the unease that suddenly rose in them.In the cro
Chapter 439
After executing Lou Bingxin and the six traitor Grand Elders, Kael ordered all the remaining Grand Elders to gather in the meeting room.Seven people, those who hadn't played a major role in the betrayal fifteen hundred years ago, who had only gone along with it because they had no choice.Xiao Peng, of course, was a different case entirely. He was special, and would be Kael's one and only right hand.They arrived faster than it normally took to gather the elders. No one was late, no one needed the message repeated.The Demon Sect's meeting room wasn't large. A long table in the center, chairs arranged neatly along both sides, and one chair at the far end that was larger than the rest, the chair that had always belonged to the Grand Leader.Kael sat there.Xiao Peng stood directly to his right, hands folded behind his back, posture straight.The seven Grand Elders took their seats along the table, and not one of them lifted their head to look directly toward the head of the table.

The sky above the Demon Sect was gray, as it always was.But the main palace courtyard, filled that morning by nearly every member of the sect, felt different from any day before. No training, no conversation. Everyone stood in silence, their faces turned in one direction.In the center of the courtyard, seven guillotines stood in a single row.The iron was not new. Kael recognized it from his past life, equipment that had existed in this sect long before Wu Shengming took over, now brought out for the first time in thousands of years.On the throne facing the courtyard, Kael sat.His white robes stood out sharply against the dark colors that dominated the entire sect, and the Boundless Dark Blade leaned against the side of the throne within arm's reach. His expression showed no anticipation, no satisfaction. Just calm, like someone finishing work that had been waiting a long time.Xiao Peng stood to the right of the throne, hands folded behind his back.Not long after, seven figures

Kael stopped in front of Wu Shengming's door.He glanced at Xiao Peng briefly, then went in alone, closing the door behind him quietly.The room hadn't changed from the last time he was here. The smell of medicine soaked into the walls. The spiritual lanterns burning dim and warm. And on the bed too large for the body that had shrunk beneath the blanket, Wu Shengming lay still, his skin still the color of old paper, his abdomen swollen.But his eyes opened when he heard footsteps come in."Gi-give me my medicine, Divine Physician." His voice came out with effort, more coherent than before the first remedy, but still far from well. "Thanks to your treatment I can speak again, even if it's difficult. I believe in a few months I'll recover. Please continue helping me..."His words stopped.Kael raised his hand to his own face, and the Faceless layer he had maintained since the moment he first set foot in this sect softened slowly, shifted, and disappeared.The face of Mo Tianjue appeared

They didn't take long to react.One by one, the Grand Elders dragged themselves forward, kneeling before Kael not merely in submission but in the way of people genuinely begging for their own lives."Grand Leader, we had no choice back then!" One of them spoke first, his voice cracking. "Wu Shengming threatened us! We were forced to swear loyalty or die!""I was imprisoned for fifty years before I finally gave in, Grand Leader!" Another followed, his forehead on the floor. "Not because I wanted to! I had no other choice!"Several more joined in, their words overlapping each other, each carrying a different reason but arriving at the same point.Spare our lives.Kael listened to all of it without his expression shifting in the slightest.Then Lou Bingxin moved. She dragged herself forward with great difficulty, the bones in her back still feeling like gravel grinding against each other with every motion, dried blood at the corner of her mouth. But she kept moving until her knees found
Chapter 435
Seeing Lou Bingxin get hurt, the seven Grand Elders who had been focused on Xiao Peng moved at once.They didn't waste a moment. No one held back. They had already seen what happened to the six elders who went into the Treasury, and they knew that facing this person halfway was the same as handing over their lives.The three fastest arrived first, attacking from three different angles simultaneously. Each of their swords radiated black energy compressed to the absolute limit of what they could push out, enough to wound even a high-level Primordial Realm cultivator if it landed on the right point.Kael turned. The Boundless Dark Blade was already in his hand before the three strikes arrived, and he swung it once.A single swing that looked so effortless that from a distance it barely seemed like any effort at all.All three black swords struck Kael's blade at the same time, and what happened next no one had anticipated. The shockwave from the impact didn't explode forward but curled ba
