He knew clearly that Ji Tianxing would attack the mountain gate of Hetian Sect, how could he tell Shang Yunqi the escape route?
But Shang Yunqi knew Prince Lian very well and also knew some of his secrets.
At this critical moment, in order to save the lives of more than 10,000 disciples and the tens of thousands of years of Hetian Sect's foundation, Shang Yunqi could only tell the truth.
"Prince Lian's first choice was not to tell anyone, hide in a remote and uninhabited place, and slowly recharge his batteries.
As long as he doesn't show up, the Great Yan Empire's territory is so vast that it's basically impossible for you to find him.
His second choice is to escape to Chunfeng County!
Many years ago, he quietly built a palace in a secret place in Chunfeng County, where he could take refuge in emergencies.
He thinks he is very hidden and we don't know.
In fact, both I and the sect master know about this."
When he heard this, Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Because he could also guess the two choices Shang Yunqi mentioned.
Back then, he refined Lian Er's soul memory and learned many secrets of Prince Lian.
Among them is a palace located in a secret place in Chunfeng County.
Ji Tianxing frowned at Shang Yunqi and asked, "What about the third option?"
"This..." Shang Yunqi hesitated a little, then said: "Prince Lian's third choice is, of course, to seek the protection of the sect master...
He is a close disciple of the sect master, and the sect master will protect him no matter what."
"You can shut up!" Ji Tianxing sneered and glanced at Shang Yunqi with a cold look.
Obviously, Shang Yunqi is hiding the truth again.
Ji Tianxing exposed him mercilessly and sneered: "Now that things have happened, you still want to hide the news about the Jade Palace?
I also know that Prince Lian is most likely looking for the leader of the Hetian Sect.
Ketian Sect Master, the Supreme Elder, as well as many elders, deacons and elite disciples are all guarding the Jade Palace!"
Suddenly hearing these words, Shang Yunqi was stunned on the spot, his eyes widened with horror.
He couldn't believe that Ji Tianxing actually knew this secret!
"That's wrong! You...how could you possibly know the news about the Jade Palace?
When fifty forces have formed an alliance, they will keep secrets and never dare to reveal them.
How do you know? Some force must have violated the agreement!"
Ji Tianxing showed a joking sneer: "That's right! It was a powerful family that leaked this secret to me.
The person who leaked the news was none other than Hetian Sect!"
"This is impossible!" Shang Yunqi shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Even among our disciples, only those who stay in the Jade Palace know this secret.
Apart from this, there are only me and the three elders, and no one can reveal the secret!
You're lying!"
Ji Tianxing lost interest in the conversation and said in a cold tone: "Shang Yunqi, I am very disappointed in you!
You seem to be very sincere, trading your life for everyone's lives, and also want to preserve the foundation of Hetian Sect.
But in fact, you hide the truth and cover up everything.
However, I already know the three choices you mentioned and have the answers in my mind.
Now, you have failed to fulfill my request, so..."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunqi's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened in shock.
He glared at Ji Tianxing angrily and roared at the top of his lungs: "No! Tianxing, you can't go back on your word and keep your word!
You just agreed to my request in front of everyone.
Now that you want to go back on your word, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world and having your reputation tarnished?
Moreover, the three possibilities I told you all have a high success rate, and that is the only place left for Prince Lian."
Fortunately, the previous conversations between the two were conducted through sound transmission, so no one else could hear them.
Otherwise, there are more than 6,000 disciples, guards and servants in the field. Once the news about the Jade Palace is leaked, it will spread quickly.
By that time, the alliance of fifty forces will be destroyed, causing disputes and chaos.
If various forces trace the source and find out that the Hetian Sect leaked the news, the results can be imagined.
The Hetian Sect will not only be expelled from the Fifty Alliance, but will also become the target of public criticism.
In any case, Shang Yunqi cannot bear this responsibility.
Ji Tianxing stared at Shang Yunqi with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Shang Yunqi, I did promise you and gave you a chance.
But that is based on your being honest and forthright without reservation.
It's a pity that you have been hiding the truth and want to deceive me, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shang Yunqi was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face was pale, and he shouted angrily: "Then what do you want?"
Ji Tianxing said in a majestic tone: "It's very simple! Either you commit suicide, and I will kill all the more than 6,000 people present and then leave.
The remaining tens of thousands of people, as well as the gates and wealth of the Hetian Sect, have all been preserved.
Either you rise up and resist, I will kill everyone, completely destroy this island, and destroy the Hetian Sect!"
Shang Yunqi's eyes were so angry that they were about to burst, and he yelled: "You are going too far!"
"So what?" Ji Tianxing sneered contemptuously: "Don't forget your situation! The decision is in my hands, and your life and death are controlled by me!"
"You!!" Shang Yunqi was speechless for a moment and was too angry to speak.
But he also understood that Ji Tianxing was right.
If it were Ji Tianxing, he wouldn't even give him a chance to commit suicide. He would kill everyone forcefully and destroy the Hetian Sect's mountain gate.
It is wise to cut the grass and root out the problem.
Ji Tianxing was willing to give him a chance and retain the Hetian Sect's gate and wealth, which was already very kind.
After a long silence, Shang Yunqi's anger gradually dissipated.
He seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he raised his head in despair, his eyes scanning the whole place dimly.
Finally, his eyes returned to Ji Tianxing, and he smiled sadly and said: "You win! I and everyone in the field must die!"
But this is the bottom line of Hetian Sect, please keep your promise.
Otherwise, even if we die, we will curse you forever!"
Ji Tianxing sneered: "No matter what, I have a better bottom line than you!"
Hearing these words, Shang Yunqi felt much relieved, smiled desperately, and said: "Thank you, goodbye!"
When he finished speaking, he used all his strength to exert his lifelong skills and shattered his godhead.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and his divine body exploded on the spot, splattering with blood raining all over the sky.
Twelve fragments of the godhead were also flying in the rain of blood, scattering into the night sky.
The dignified deputy sect leader of the Hetian Sect, a high-ranking divine monarch in the eighth level, committed suicide in public.
More than six thousand disciples, guards and servants all roared and roared in pain, anger and unwillingness.
Countless people had scarlet eyes, waving their swords like crazy, charging towards Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing did not waste any time, waved his hand and used the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, summoning 25,000 divine swords, which came down overwhelmingly and enveloped everyone in the field.
