The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 231 Life-Binding

At the cost of their lives, the chains of heaven unfolded, binding everyone present.

For a moment, everyone struggled to break free, looking at the chains on their bodies and trying various methods to undo them.

Chu Qianqiu became angry and looked at the Misty Cloud Sect elders who were exhausted from using this move. He couldn't understand why they would do such a thing.

"What is it that is worth sacrificing yourselves like this?"

"Aren't you cultivators striving for immortality?"

"Now you're willing to die for a sect. Is this what you wanted?"

He asked, genuinely not understanding why they would do this.

If they were truly loyal to the sect, why did they choose to escape? They could have died in battle back then.

But now, they had shown an unprecedented courage, as if they wanted to protect something at the cost of their lives.

What were they protecting?

What was the difference between now and the past?

The only variable that Chu Qianqiu could think of was the appearance of Duan Corina.

...

They didn't speak.

None of the Misty Cloud Sect cultivators present spoke, revealing their true thoughts.

Even at the moment of their impending death, they remained silent, allowing their lives to slowly slip away.

It was strange.

"Is it really that great?"

"Could it be that you're being controlled by something?"

From the eyes of these dying people, Chu Qianqiu saw a deep plea.

It was a fleeting light that disappeared in an instant, reminding him of the brief moment when Duan Corina had regained her senses.

It was like the occasional awakening of someone whose mind was being controlled. He knew he was going to die and then sent out a signal for help through his eyes.

And sure enough, when Chu Qianqiu spoke these words, the chains of heaven on him loosened slightly, and the bodies of the sacrificers trembled, as if something was resisting.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Qianqiu unleashed his divine movement technique, instantly breaking free from the chains, and then pierced the heart of one of the elders with a single strike of his spear.

The elder's life was already like a flickering candle in the wind. As the main "branch" of the heavenly chains, if he died completely, the chains would cease to exist.

Chu Qianqiu's attack was extremely heavy, a single strike that left no room for the opponent to catch their breath.

At this moment, the opponent couldn't withstand the attack and their entire chest was instantly pierced.

Layers of flames burned his remaining body, and he hoarsely released the chains of heaven.

Chu Qianqiu looked at this dying person and originally wanted to pursue his victory and send him off completely.

He admitted that the strong in the Soul Formation Realm indeed had a strong life force.

Even though he had used a strike that he believed could kill the opponent, the opponent still held on.

He was still alive.

And when this person was truly on the brink of the abyss of death.

Chu Qianqiu discovered that it seemed like he was finally revealing his true self. There was no pain on his face, but instead, a strange sense of relief.

"Thank you."

"?"

"What are you thanking me for?"

The heavenly fire spear in Chu Qianqiu's hand paused in mid-air.

He was confused. What did this guy mean by saying these things to him now?

"Are you being controlled by someone?"

"Yes, there's no time to explain. My life source is about to burn up. Thank you for killing me... This is an endless road to hell."

"Go to Misty Cloud Sect and organize his revival. He's about to succeed..."

"You must care a lot about Stephanie... Actually, she's innocent."

"What are you talking about?"

...

Before I could inquire about the situation.

The elder had already died with a relieved expression.

He died just like that...

Other experts who unlocked the Opening Heaven technique joined the battle one after another.

Just now, due to the imprisonment of the Heavenly Lock, some cultivators belonging to Misty Cloud Sect and generals from the Falling Star Empire managed to escape.

Bati wanted to lead his troops to capture them, but Chu Qianqiu stopped him.

He didn't want to divide their forces now, as it would be disadvantageous for them.

After hearing this, the generals could only eliminate all the enemy soldiers present who couldn't escape.

Soon, all the other elders who formed the Heavenly Lock, without exception, died.

After they died completely, without exception, their faces showed a relieved and liberated expression.

This expression was difficult for everyone to understand.

Chu Qianqiu also saw a fleeing demonic light from these people, which seemed to be in the shape of a sword, but he couldn't capture it.

"There's something... He revealed something extraordinary to me."

"Bati, you Monster Race, guard the Demon Gate here and inform me of any movements."

"That Spider Demon has hidden itself now. If possible... find a way to kill it first."

"I need to go somewhere else."

Saying this, Chu Qianqiu looked in the direction where the veiled woman had just fled, and he had made up his mind.

Actually, he didn't really care whether this world would be destroyed or not.

What he cared about now was the truth behind what the elders of Misty Cloud Sect had said.

What was it that was running out of time, and who was this innocent Stephanie referring to?

"Respectfully obeying the orders of the Holy Lord."

Bati and the other Monster Race members, who had transformed into human form, all gestured respectfully in the air.

"But, Holy Lord, I suspect that the Reverse Gate won't open so quickly."

"The Demon Race army is vast and mighty. They won't be satisfied with just letting one or two Demon Race members out."

"Now, they are using the Spider Demon to seal the entrance of the Reverse Gate, perhaps conducting some special ceremony inside... It may still be too early for their true arrival."

"They may not be ready to descend at this moment."

Bati felt the demonic energy around this place and said so.

Chu Qianqiu frowned, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Are you saying that they want to act together, but the gate is not wide enough?"

"Yes... That's the correct understanding."

"Although they have a passage now, it's not enough to allow the entire Demon Race army to rush into our world."

"This is not the Extreme North, nor is it the Northern Ju Lu Continent. It doesn't have the Heavenly Demon Gate they are familiar with."

"Holy Lord, perhaps you haven't seen it, but the Demon Gate in the Northern Ju Lu Continent is huge, like an endless black curtain, covered with various complex and eerie Demon Race characters."

"And now, they are being impatient and want to rush into this world ahead of time, so the price they naturally have to pay is to trap themselves."

"They may still have a long time... before they can come out of this Reverse Gate."
