Chapter 484 The Gift
Therefore, he was not only warning Su Yao, but also Li Lan and Da Niu.
"Any disciple of my Star Devouring Sect who disobeys my mission will, at best, have their cultivation abandoned and be thrown into the mortal world to fend for themselves; at worst, their soul will be extracted and roasted with Samadhi Fire, subjecting them to the most torturous torture in the world for 100,000 years, until their soul is reduced to ashes."
These words struck Su Yao like a bolt from the blue. Instantly, a wave of despair and pain, making it hard for her to breathe, washed over her, causing her to collapse helplessly to the ground.
At this moment, Su Yao suddenly seemed to have gone mad, a bitter smile appearing on her face:
"God must be playing a joke on me!"
Looking back now, becoming Luo Ye's plaything doesn't seem so hard to accept. At least under Luo Ye, I would most likely just be neglected.
But at least he can retain some of his dignity, and he also has endless cultivation resources at his disposal.
Even if she were to become Luo Ye's concubine, hidden away in that primeval forest by him, in that lonely forbidden zone, it would still be far better than becoming the Fifth Elder's disciple.
At least there are no downsides to it, except for the loneliness; in fact, there are countless advantages.
But she didn't want to depend on men, much less become their playthings.
But now, let alone cultivation resources, even survival is a problem.
Moreover, once they went to the Fifth Elder's tutelage, they would inevitably be humiliated, and might even suffer the most painful torture, though the specifics are unclear.
It's a good thing. It's a good thing.
At this moment, Su Yao, who was in despair, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Her gaze gradually changed from hesitation to determination: Rather than waiting to be humiliated, she would rather end it herself!
This is what Su Yao is thinking right now.
At the same time, she felt even more regretful.
After going through two selections, she was already very lucky, as she met the best candidate on her third try.
And unlike the other two, one treated her as a plaything, and the other wanted to imprison her and toy with her like a pet.
The third person was naturally Li Lan. At the time, Su Yao felt that as long as she dared to step forward and express her feelings, it was possible for Li Lan to take her with her.
Even if Li Lan isn't interested in her, her situation might be different if she could be brought into his team.
No one knows what the relationship is between Li Lan and the steward and the elders.
Although Li Lan and Da Niu have now been demoted to cooks in the alchemy room, which looks extremely miserable.
However, Zhao Tianlei, a powerful steward with the cultivation of a divine envoy, was clearly afraid of Li Lan. Even when Li Lan humiliated him, he did not dare to get angry. Instead, he spoke to Li Lan politely.
But he treated others differently, such as Luo Ye, Xue Tu, and Man Qiong, who were all of high status and strong.
But Zhao Tianlei treated the three of them like a completely different person, his attitude was extremely cold, as if he were looking at an ant.
She wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
Take Da Niu for example. His cultivation level is even weaker than mine. He is only an eighth-grade Divine Disciple. In front of me, a ninth-grade Divine Disciple, he is like an ant.
Su Yao was certain.
If the two were to fight one-on-one, I would definitely have the upper hand and win within ten rounds.
Despite his cultivation level, he could only become an outer disciple.
Da Niu, on the other hand, was able to become a formal outer disciple. Although he was just a cook, his position was still higher than hers.
And all of this was thanks to Li Lan; it's clear she completely missed out.
Because the best option was right in front of her at the time, but she didn't cherish it. Now that she wants to regret it, it's probably too late.
At this moment, Su Yao gave a bitter smile. She really was someone who brought this upon herself, and she deserved it.
Furthermore, Su Yao did not intend to ask Li Lan for protection at this time, as the rules of the Star Devouring Sect were extremely strict and could not be challenged by a single disciple.
Even though she knew that Li Lan might have powerful connections that could make even the Star Devouring Sect change its stance.
But why would the other party take action for a woman like her who has nothing to do with Li Lan?
That's obviously impossible. Although she always makes the wrong choices, it doesn't mean she's really stupid or dumb. She understands that.
But even if we can see the details clearly, and see the cruelty of reality.
But as a girl, how could she really be willing to be taken away like that and end her life?
In an instant, Su Yao felt a surge of despair well up in her heart, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly:
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
Su Yao kept encouraging herself in her heart, even using extremely harsh words, hoping to wake herself up.
But she still didn't dare to take that step.
"Su Yao, Su Yao, do you even understand what you really need?"
Could it be an endless supply of cultivation resources?
Does it mean having the power of life and death over others?
Or is it simply a desire for a sense of security, a feeling of being protected?
Don't you know what's going on?
At this moment, Su Yao roared inwardly.
She gave a bitter smile; how could she not know what she needed?
"I know, how could I not know? What I truly need is protection, protection from Lord Li Lan!"
At this moment, Su Yao recalled the feeling of security she had when Li Lan suddenly appeared in that forest and offered to protect her; she would never forget it.
This was the first time in her countless years since birth that she had experienced the feeling of being protected, and it was so wonderful.
You should know that since she was born, she has endured everything on her own, and has never relied on others for anything, because she is very clear about that.
If she doesn't work hard, the consequences are predictable; she will become someone else's plaything, or even a stepping stone for them. Naturally, she doesn't want that.
Therefore, in her environment, there was no such thing as being protected by a man.
Now I want to change my mindset and destiny, but I always think it's too late.
Li Lan remained indifferent to Su Yao's tragic situation, but he clearly sensed the pleading look in her eyes.
The world is so big. If I had to help everyone I met, wouldn't I be exhausted to death?
Even though Li Lan's principle was that he should help anyone he encountered who deserved it, so as not to affect his Dao heart.
However, this can only be done in the realm of impermanence.
After all, within the Boundless Realm, a strange power permeates the universe, influencing the minds of countless beings.
However, most people's nature has not been completely corrupted; they still retain a touch of kindness, which is proof of their survival.
Moreover, there are actually many life-bearing planets in this vast world, where the creatures have not been corrupted and are completely unaware of the existence of such strange things.
Therefore, everyone is a kind-hearted person, and even if there are a few evil individuals, they are insignificant under such a large foundation.
Therefore, for Su Yao at this moment, relatively speaking...
If they were within the Boundless Realm, Li Lan would have immediately stepped in to save Su Yao and would never have stood idly by.
However, within the Great Dark Heaven Realm, such kindness is simply asking for trouble.
Because this place is full of evil, kind-hearted people are as rare as a drop in the ocean.
At least it's certain that Su Yao is definitely not one of them.
However, Da Niu and Xiao Niu are two rare exceptions, because their kindness is considered unusual in the Great Dark Heaven Realm. Therefore, Li Lan did not want to help Su Yao at this moment.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and Zhao Tianlei appeared in front of Su Yao with lightning speed in a flash, and then struck her dantian with a palm.
That palm strike contained the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, and even carried a chilling power rule within it, as if it could penetrate any defense.
What Zhao Tianlei just used was a sealing technique, the effect of which is to seal other people's divine power, turning them into puppets that can be manipulated at will.
"Deacon Zhao, what are you doing?"
Su Yao was slapped to the ground and coughed up blood, suffering greatly.
As she prepared to use her inner energy to resist, she discovered that her divine power had been completely sealed in her dantian, as if it were locked by several shackles, and she could not break free at all.
If she forcibly tries to activate her abilities, she will be met with soul-deep pain and torment in the next second.
Su Yao asked in alarm.
Zhao Tianlei, looking down at him with a mocking expression, said...
"Since we've already decided to give you to the Fifth Elder as a gift, we naturally can't let you have any ability to resist. Just accept your fate."
Zhao Tianlei laughed coldly.
In fact, the moment he saw Su Yao, he was captivated by her beauty. How could he not be overjoyed to find such a beautiful woman in this assessment?
But no matter how he thought about it, he knew he could never have Su Yao.
Since that's the case, it's better to treat her in the most cruel way. The best option is to hand her over to the Fifth Elder, which is the result of his discussion with the other deacons.
Because at that time, when I saw Su Yao's beautiful face...
Not only him, but every other steward was tempted. They almost came to blows over it. Even though they all reconciled and agreed to share Su Yao, they disagreed again about who would enjoy her first, and the two almost came to blows.
What happened next was that they almost had a life-or-death duel with other deacons.
If it weren't for the quick reaction of the leaders among the deacons, who stepped forward in advance and forcibly stopped the fight, and ultimately decided to give Su Yao to the Fifth Elder as a congratulatory gift...
Since everyone wants to be the first, but no one can, then let's choose the path of destruction if we can't have it.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Zhao Tianlei felt an indescribable, even exhilarating, surge of pleasure welling up inside him.
Yes, that's how it should be!
Women like that should be destroyed.
And it must be destroyed in the most cruel way, so that she will suffer a fate worse than death, living in despair and pain!
When he thought about how Su Yao had been tormented to the point of madness by the Fifth Elder, he found that this was actually more exciting than having Su Yao himself, so he immediately voted in favor of this suggestion.
Furthermore, to prevent Su Yao from disobeying orders or even forcibly leaving with her divine power, the best approach would be to seal her dantian, turning her into a plaything to be manipulated at will. This would be the best option.
Moreover, they can use this opportunity to gain favor with the Fifth Elder.
It should be noted that although the Fifth Elder was a lecherous fiend, the fact that he was able to become an elder meant that his cultivation had reached at least the sixth rank of Divine Envoy.
Moreover, as the Fifth Elder, his cultivation had already reached the eighth rank of Divine Envoy, making him a renowned figure throughout the entire Great Black Heaven Realm. Even if he merely trembled three times, the entire Great Black Heaven Realm would be shaken.
Therefore, it would be wonderful to have such a powerful person owe them a favor, which is why the deacons unanimously agreed to let Zhao Tianlei do this.
