Chapter 2292 - 2292 Deceived

2292 Deceived

Every word was like a huge rock that landed heavily on Yi Gong’s heart.

He held his breath, and all the blood in his body seemed to stop flowing at this moment.

The surrounding flames were burning, and the temperature was clearly extremely hot, but he broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn’t guilt but fear.

The current Yi Zhao could really kill him directly!

“C-clan Leader, I… I’m also doing this for the red-gold heavenly phoenix race!” Yi Gong spoke with difficulty to defend himself. “If I don’t do this, our entire race will die! Clan Leader, can you really bear for that to happen?”

“You’ve admitted it.” Yi Zhao’s voice was terrifyingly cold and calm. “As the First Elder, you know best what kind of punishment betraying the clan entails. Do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?”

Yi Gong’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He knew Yi Zhao too well; the latter would never change his mind. Now that Yi Zhao had already made up his mind to kill him… No matter how much he begged and defended, it was useless.

After figuring this out, Yi Gong’s expression suddenly became ruthless. “I’m not picking either!”

His voice was sharp and hoarse, with a hint of hysterical madness. “Yi Zhao, I’ve long advised you that you should choose to surrender to Fantasy Divine Hall, but how did you choose? You were the one who was stubborn and caused the entire race to fall into this situation!”

“They’re not our masters. How can we surrender to them?”

“In any case, we’re all servants of Fantasy Divine Hall. What’s the difference? Our ancestor made the wrong choice back then, and from then on, our red-gold heavenly phoenix race became a sinner of Fantasy Divine Palace! Now that you have the chance to change all of this, why aren’t you willing to agree?”

Yi Gong really couldn’t figure it out.

He clenched his fists tightly. Because he was agitated, his face was abnormally red, and his eyes were filled with madness.

Yi Zhao’s expression didn’t change. He only said word by word, “The choice our ancestor made has been the choice of our clansmen for 10,000 years. Be it life or death, it will never be changed! Yi Gong, you colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed your clansmen. You deserve to be executed! I promoted you to the status of First Elder; I can be considered blind since I made such a huge mistake. Today, I’ll personally kill you. In the future, I can answer to the ancestor and clansmen.”

With that, he raised his hand.

The long period of inhumane torture had already caused him to be covered in injuries—ven his fingers were covered in blood and scars—but no one knew how terrifying the power in his body was.

Swoosh!

A spark flashed between his fingers.

Yi Gong’s pupils constricted as a deep fear surged in his heart! Without thinking, he turned around and wanted to run!

“First Elder, where are you going?” A clear and tender voice sounded.

Tuan Zi was floating in midair quietly and looking at him.

Yi Gong’s heart almost jumped out! “You!”

Just now, he was so focused on dealing with Yi Zhao that he almost forgot that there was this King of Hell behind him!

Tuan Zi looked up at Yi Zhao and smiled sweetly. “Clan Leader Grandpa, can you hand the First Elder to me first?”

Yi Zhao paused and nodded slightly. However, the sparks on his fingertips didn’t disappear.

Clearly, as long as Yi Gong made a move, he would still immediately attack!

Yi Gong looked at Tuan Zi and felt that the smile on her face was extremely dangerous.

He stiffened. “Wh-what do you want?!”

He didn’t forget that Tuan Zi had just opened her seventh meridian! Even if she was still young, she could already completely crush him in terms of strength!

Tuan Zi looked relaxed. “You’ll know what I want to do soon.”

With that, she raised her hand.

That chubby little hand was tightly holding onto an Ancestral Golden Feather.

A hint of confusion flashed across Yi Gong’s eyes, but the next moment, he saw Tuan Zi bite her finger.

A dark-red bead of blood quickly surged out. Then, she flicked her finger, and the blood bead quickly flew toward Yi Gong’s glabella!

Yi Gong subconsciously wanted to dodge, but at this moment, he was surrounded by the two people and couldn’t move at all!

Shoo!

A burning pain came.

The blood bead directly entered Yi Gong’s glabella!

Realizing what had happened, Yi Gong’s body stiffened. Then, his eyes widened! “You—”

Tuan Zi’s heart skipped a beat. “Explode!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Gong felt an indescribably majestic power sweep instantly through his entire body. Right on the heels of that, all the power in his body seemed to have been summoned and began to surge rapidly!

This commotion was very similar to when he was about to open his meridians just now.

Could it be…

An extremely ridiculous guess suddenly surged into his mind.

As if sensing his thoughts, Tuan Zi smiled brightly. “First Elder, don’t you want to open the seventh meridian? I’ll help you.”

She had the purest bloodline and had just opened the seventh meridian. The bloodline power in her body was extremely abundant, and just one blood bead could instantly detonate all the bloodline power in Yi Gong’s body and forcefully open his meridians!

As expected… as expected!

A look of shock flashed across Yi Gong’s eyes. Tuan Zi actually wants to help me open my meridian? What exactly does she want to do?

Just as he was panicking, Tuan Zi moved. Her reddish-gold lotus leaf dress swayed gently, and golden bells rang.

In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Yi Gong. Then, she held the Ancestral Golden Feather and swiped it across gently.

Several lines appeared uncontrollably on Yi Gong’s glabella.

He struggled with all his might, wanting to avoid Tuan Zi. However, how could the latter allow it now?

Tuan Zi’s eyes were burning with fire. “Open it!”

The seventh reddish-gold line slowly appeared!
