Chapter 407 Crisis 6
He wanted revenge, he wanted to destroy everything that Song Wentian had, and he wanted Song Wentian to pay the price.
So after taking care of Li Niang's funeral, he devoted himself more to practicing forbidden techniques, waiting for the day when he would completely bring Song Wentian down from the altar.
They originally thought this was a great opportunity, but it turned out to be just a trap they set for themselves.
It turned out that they had known about his plan all along but had just pretended not to know.
The feeling of being teased reached his peak, causing the hatred he had just calmed down for Li Niang to surge again, completely accelerating the speed of his darkening.
"I will kill you today!"
Even if they both die, he will never let anyone go!
Elder Wen was still trying his best to persuade, but Tao Zhengchong, who had been completely swallowed by the dark aura, could not hear a single word.
Song Wentian was also helpless: "In this case, I have no choice but to get rid of you."
Judging from Tao Zhengchong's situation, even purification would not be able to save his life. Since he has been swallowed by the dark aura, his only fate is death.
That day, all the people in the capital saw two figures floating in the sky. One was the exiled immortal Song Wentian in flowing white clothes, who seemed to be flying away like a cloud. The other was a man shrouded in black air, and it was impossible to tell who he was from his face.
It only took Song Wentian a few rounds to trap the man and completely remove the black energy that enveloped him.
The next moment, the man fell from the air.
As he fell, the originally gloomy sky suddenly cleared up, the sun, which had not appeared for a long time, finally peeked out, and the rain that had refused to stop also showed signs of weakening.
At this moment, Song Wentian, who was in mid-air, was shrouded in sunlight. He looked so sacred and inviolable, just like a god.
The people completely forgot their previous doubts, denials and resentments towards him. At this moment, Song Wentian was the god who saved them from danger.
Song Wentian looked down at Tao Zhengchong, whose skills had been completely destroyed, and then jumped down.
Tao Zhengchong spat out blood, covered his chest and asked angrily: "Song Wentian, are you satisfied after killing me?"
"I never meant to take your life."
Song Wentian's expression did not change: "But you shouldn't use the people as bait to achieve your goal."
If it was just a fight between fellow disciples, he could have spared his life and given him a chance to survive.
However, Tao Zheng touched his sore spot and used forbidden techniques to control the celestial phenomena, sacrificing his own soul in exchange for the long-lasting heavy rain, completely disregarding the lives of the people.
Song Wentian couldn't forgive.
The only way to lift this devastating curse is to offer Tao Zhengchong's soul to heaven.
Song Wentian was no longer able to purify Tao Zhengchong who was swallowed by darkness, so he could only destroy all his cultivation and internal strength to let the dark energy automatically disappear from his body.
In this way, his pure soul can be offered to the heavens, completely lifting the curse he had set.
Tao Zhengchong has always known that Song Wentian is not a soft-hearted person, otherwise the internal strife in Shengyun Mountain would not have been suppressed in such a short time.
He has touched his reverse scale this time, how could Song Wentian possibly save him and give him a chance to live?
Tao Zhengchong suddenly thought of what Li Niang had said to him before she died: "The leader has the world in his heart, he is a good person, you should not..."
Li Niang's words were interrupted by him. He had heard too many people speak well of Song Wentian and didn't want to hear it from his wife again.
He remembered the disappointment and sadness in Li Niang's eyes.
Wouldn't his behavior at that time make Li Niang unable to rest in peace even after her death?
"I lost……"
Tao Zhengchong had to admit defeat.
In fact, from the moment he decided to use the people's gossip to destroy Song Wentian, he had already lost.
No, it should be said that from the moment he started practicing forbidden techniques, his miserable failure was already doomed.
But Tao Zhengchong didn’t understand. He didn’t understand why Song Wentian could be so calm and composed, and why he had no hatred in his heart?
"You protected them so much, but they easily erased everything about your past and forced the emperor to execute you. I don't believe you have no complaints in your heart."
In fact, Song Wentian is a vengeful person, otherwise he would not have raised such a wanton and arrogant Song Yunxi.
But Song Wentian simply said: "They are just being used by you."
Under Tao Zhengchong's sneer, Song Wentian said frankly: "Zhengchong, do you know that a small stall and a few acres of thin land worked hard are the livelihood of their entire family?"
"You've made it impossible for them to earn money and destroyed the farmland they worked so hard on. The whole family may have to go hungry for the whole year."
They always need someone to vent their grief and despair. Didn't Tao Zhengchong and his gang take advantage of this?
But he no longer wanted to talk to Tao Zhengchong, as people with different ideas could not work together.
The rain was getting lighter and lighter, and Tao Zhengchong's energy was getting weaker and weaker.
Elder Wen was distressed and heartbroken: "Zhengchong, you are hopelessly wrong!"
In a daze, Tao Zhengchong seemed to see Li Niang. His Li Niang came to pick him up, and death did not seem so scary to him anymore.
"Master... Ask the Heaven..."
Tao Zhengchong held on for a breath and begged with his last strength: "I know I don't have the face to ask you anything, but Chan'er doesn't know what I did. I just ask you to think of our friendship and not... don't embarrass her. Give her a chance to live."
After his death, the Sixth Prince would certainly not hold Chan'er in his hands anymore. But as long as she was still a member of Shengyun Sect, the Sixth Prince would not go too far even if he ignored her. With Chan'er's abilities, it would not be a problem for her to live out her life in peace.
Song Wentian knew, of course, that Tao Zhengchong had lied, but he also knew that Tao Yuechan only knew that her father had practiced forbidden techniques, and Tao Zhengchong had not told her anything else out of his desire to protect her.
So although Tao Yuechan was wrong, her mistake was not fatal.
"I promise you."
After receiving Song Wentian's promise, Tao Zhengchong finally smiled. His pupils became increasingly dilated, and he murmured in a low voice, "I...I'm going to see Li Niang..."
The moment Tao Zhengchong died, the rain that had been falling for nearly half a month finally stopped.
He ordered people to send Tao Zhengchong's body back to Shengyun Mountain to be buried with Li Niang, and also sent someone to inform Song Yuechan of her father's death.
The atmosphere in Qingyun Pavilion was somewhat depressing.
Elder Wen sighed and said, "I will go back with them. Zheng Chong has done such a wicked thing. I am afraid..."
He didn't say anything else, just sighed.
But Song Wentian and the others all understood that Tao Zhengchong had hurt many of his fellow disciples before, and now that his evil deeds were exposed to the world, many disciples in the sect might not allow him to be buried in Shengyun Mountain.
Song Wentian did not stop Elder Ren Wen from taking care of Tao Zhengchong's funeral.
Emperor Qinglong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried: "How are Xubai and the others? Are they really okay?"
