The time goes back to a few minutes earlier, before Sword Master Bi Xiao made his move to kill Suo Lun.
Suo Lun asked, “Yao Xing, with you around, does that mean I generally won’t die?”
Yao Xing said, “If someone pierces through your head or heart, or even drains all the blood from your body, you will still die.”
Suo Lun said, “That is to say, if someone strangles my life energy directly with their energy, I won’t die.”
“Correct,” Yao Xing said.
“Because even the faintest trace of my energy can sustain your life.”
Suo Lun said, “So a Jueshi (peerless) master like Bi Xiao, when killing someone like me, would definitely quash my life force in an instant, letting me die without any pain, right?”
“Uh…” Yao Xing said, “If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to bet on that.”
Then, Suo Lun just made such a bet.
As a result, Sword Master Bi Xiao didn’t give him half a second to explain and straightforwardly killed him.
However, a top-notch master like him indeed dislikes gruesome acts like beheading or piercing the heart.
Instead, he directly eliminated Suo Lun’s life energy in an instant, causing instant death without any pain.
To put it more directly, it was severing the body’s and brain’s energy connection, cutting off the energy to Suo Lun’s brain in an instant.
So, under such circumstances, Suo Lun would not die.
After all, he had Yao Xing within him, and even though Yao Xing’s dragon force was completely depleted, the energy needed to maintain life was still present.
Bi Xiao was about to throw Suo Lun into the vast sea at the bottom of a thousand-foot cliff, then act as if nothing had happened, making Suo Lun disappear completely from the world.
Although many people knew that Suo Lun had come to Piaoling Island to find Bi Xiao and never returned, it was very likely that he died at Bi Xiao’s hand.
But Bi Xiao didn’t care, for even if the whole world knew that he killed Suo Lun, so what?
Just the fact that Suo Lun disturbed his retreat was reason enough to kill.
Haven’t killed anyone in decades, does Sword Master Bi Xiao need a reason to kill someone?
Everyone in the Rage Wave Kingdom would feign ignorance.
After all, Suo Lun was as insignificant as an ant in front of Bi Xiao now.
However, just as he was about to dispatch Suo Lun’s “corpse” into the ocean, he stopped and hesitated.
Having killed him, should this body be wasted?
Perhaps, the corpse could bring some surprises?
Maybe entering the Heaven Tomb with the body would yield unexpected findings?
So, Sword Master Bi Xiao, with Suo Lun’s body in tow, descended the mountain as if walking on flat ground with great speed.
Of course, he took the back of Mystyle Mountain, so he wouldn’t run into Ye Jingyu.
Even bearing Suo Lun, Bi Xiao, light as a feather, bounced and leaped swiftly down along the cliff.
The elevation of Mystyle Mountain was thousands of meters high; it took Suo Lun several hours to climb it, yet it took Sword Master Bi Xiao merely a quarter of an hour to descend.
After descending the mountain, he arrives at the seashore.
There was a small boat there; Bi Xiao placed Suo Lun’s “corpse” on the boat and then piloted the small craft towards the northwest.
Rowing with a wooden sword, his speed was incredibly fast; in less than two hours, the small boat had sailed northward for over a hundred miles.
This place was an endless sea.
Bi Xiao raised his head, started to measure against the twin moons and stars above, then also measured the reflections of the moons and stars in the water.
While measuring, he maneuvered the small boat inch by inch.
What was he searching for?
A point of zero energy.
His speed became slower and slower, eventually stopping at a certain point, pulling out a compass from his chest.
This compass, used to test the earth’s energy magnetic field, would have a clear direction anywhere.
But at this point, the compass seemed to completely malfunction, no longer pointing in any direction and just hanging limply.
This was the place, the location where the magnetic field of heaven and earth completely disappears, as if all energy returned to zero.
Putting something from his chest into his mouth and taking a deep breath, Bi Xiao, with Suo Lun’s “corpse,” jumped off the boat.
Entering the sea, Bi Xiao kept sinking deeper and deeper.
After descending for over a thousand meters, there was no light at all on the seafloor, nor any sign of life.
Within tens of meters of this place, no life approached, be it small fish, shrimp, seaweeds, or corals, nothing existed, just the empty sea.
Soon, Bi Xiao reached the bottom of the sea.
He took out a large Luminous Pearl, illuminating several meters around him.
This was a dark and flat seabed, all that was visible were flat, hard dark stones.
Bi Xiao found a rock and heaved powerfully.
Instantly, a massive stone weighing thousands of pounds was lifted, revealing a deep and dark cavern.
A mysterious and arcane light shone out from the cave.
This was the Heaven Tomb, where the great monks of the Dragon Temple were buried and the ultimate secrets of the Dragon Temple were kept.
It appeared as a well-shaped cavern, bottomless, as if leading straight to hell.
Sword Master Bi Xiao jumped into the abyssal grave, falling, falling, falling…
The tomb was indeed deep, possibly exceeding tens of thousands of meters, as if reaching the core of the earth.
As he fell halfway, his speed slowed down more and more, finally coming to a complete halt.
