Chapter 39: Upper Realm Passage, Great Calamity of the Eight Regions!
Stone Morning's words immediately eased the hearts of the others, which had been hanging in the air.
If they had to choose, they would rather die in battle than become ingredients.
If they truly turned into ingredients, it would be a complete loss of face.
Moreover, Stone Morning's words undoubtedly left room for reconciliation.
"Considering that you didn't take action before, your death penalty is forgiven, but your living penalty will not be pardoned."
"You will stay in my Sky-Mending Pavilion for the next few days. When your backers deliver sufficient ransom, you can return."
Following that, the phantom of the great axe in Stone Morning's hand dissipated, transforming into strands of Order Chains that were imprinted onto the bodies of those Venerables.
At first, the Venerables instinctively tried to resist.
However, the Order Chains were incredibly powerful. With a flicker of divine light, axe marks appeared on the bodies of these Venerables.
All their magical powers and divine abilities were locked away.
At this point, they were no different from ordinary people, except for their stronger physiques.
This move once again shocked everyone.
So many Venerables had been instantly sealed and imprisoned.
This was much more difficult than killing them.
At this moment, a nameless chill ran down the spines of everyone present.
Just how many secrets were hidden within Stone Morning?
However, they knew that this was not something they should contemplate.
With the Venerables instantly imprisoned, the people who had been brought here by these Venerables dared not move a muscle.
They were afraid that any action, any gesture, would be misinterpreted and result in their immediate execution by Stone Morning.
This was a fearsome deity who had casually killed and eaten Venerables, who dared to provoke him?
Stone Morning dispelled the phantom of the giant axe in his hand.
To be honest, Stone Morning felt that the great axe suited him better.
The sword seemed too refined, not at all domineering.
At this time, the Witch, with a mischievous smile, poked Moon Chan's forehead.
"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this the Saintess of the Sky-Mending Sect?"
"How come you've become a prisoner?"
A hint of shame and anger flashed across Moon Chan's pretty face.
But she couldn't do anything about it.
She had sensed something wrong earlier and tried to escape, but it was too late.
Stone Morning's Order Chains sealed the heavens and earth. While imprisoning the Venerables, he had also sealed her.
Now, she had no magical powers left and could only watch as the Witch strutted before her.
"Little Chef, is the food ready?"
Stone Morning suddenly appeared beside the Witch, gently tapping her forehead with his finger.
A large, crystal-clear bump instantly formed on the Witch's head.
"Ow."
The Witch couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, looking at Stone Morning with a resentful expression.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
Stone Morning laughed and scolded.
"Alright, alright!"
The Witch muttered to herself, then mumbled to Moon Chan.
"You're lucky today."
"Thank you."
Moon Chan expressed her gratitude to Stone Morning.
Even though it was Stone Morning who had made her a prisoner, it was ultimately because she had misjudged the situation and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
And if Stone Morning hadn't intervened, she didn't know how long the Witch would have ridiculed her.
They had been fighting from the Upper Realm until now, and she had never been so humiliated before.
"It's nothing. I just want to ask, you Sky-Mending Sect should possess the passageways between the two realms, right?"
Stone Morning, naturally, wouldn't put all his hopes on the Witch. She wasn't a pure-hearted person either.
If she ended up betraying him, he would be at a significant loss.
As Moon Chan was the Witch's long-time rival, getting information from her and corroborating it with the Witch's information would ensure he wouldn't be deceived.
Moon Chan didn't hesitate to answer.
"Our Sky-Mending Sect naturally possesses the passageways between the Upper and Lower Realms. As long as you are willing to join our sect, you can return with me."
"With your talent, you will surely be recognized by the elders in our sect."
Even now, Moon Chan didn't give up on persuading Stone Morning to join the Sky-Mending Sect.
Stone Morning just chuckled and turned to the Witch.
"Witch, Moon Chan is yours."
Since she had no further use, Stone Morning naturally wouldn't waste his time on her.
Moon Chan hadn't expected Stone Morning to be so shameless, instantly selling her out.
She also felt a bit wronged.
She didn't have any intention of harming Stone Morning. She was recommending the Sky-Mending Sect to him because it was for his own good.
"Stone Morning, you might think you can protect the Sky-Mending Pavilion now."
"But the upcoming calamity in the Lower Realm, even if you are strong, can you be stronger than the Upper Realm?"
Moon Chan sincerely advised him.
"Only by joining our Sky-Mending Sect will you have a chance of survival."
"Yes, you are very strong now, but what if you encounter Divine Fire or even those above Divine Fire?"
Moon Chan's words caused Stone Morning to fall silent.
Just when Moon Chan thought her persuasion was working and was about to push harder, Stone Morning smiled.
"I told you, you people from the Upper Realm are all the same."
