Super Invincible Upgrade

Chapter 260: Chapter260

Zhou Peng's use of this 'bitter trick' was extremely ingenious. It couldn't be more ingenious. Restraining Han Kong and winning people's hearts could be said to be perfect. But could Zhou Peng let Han Kong die just like this? Would a boss at the second stage of the Heaven and Earth realm, shining brightly, be wasted by being executed like this? That's impossible! Even if Long Xiaotian immediately ordered Han Kong to be 'burned and killed by fire', Zhou Peng would definitely come out to stop it. Everything was within his calculations. There was no doubt that Han Kong and Long Xiaotian were allies in the same trench. Han Kong had made great contributions to Long Xiaotian being able to sit so steadily in the position of sect master. But now Han Kong had aroused public anger. If he wasn't killed, Long Xiaotian couldn't step down. If he was killed, Long Xiaotian was reluctant in his heart. After all, Han Kong was his right-hand man. Losing him was equivalent to weakening his own power. Killing or not killing was both inappropriate. So he came up with a plan, 'burning and killing by fire'. 'Burning and killing by fire' was one of the heaviest punishments in the Thousand Machines Sect. Even a person with extraordinary qi skills couldn't withstand being burned by the magma fire emerging from the ground. But 'burning and killing by fire' had a drawback, also called 'fate'. That was, those who survived 'burning and killing by fire' could be exempted from the death penalty. The punishment of 'burning and killing by fire' was extremely severe. However, Long Xiaotian had a way to break it. That's why he shouted loudly and pretended to be angry. In fact, he was secretly saving Han Kong. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhou Peng stopped him. Long Xiaotian's heart sank. Secretly thinking, "Could it be that Zhou Peng saw something?" His eyebrows slightly wrinkled. His voice raised a bit and he said, "Han Kong is such a sinister villain. Letting him self-destruct is too easy for him. Killing my disciple and framing Zhou Peng. Such a serious crime must be punished by 'burning and killing by fire'. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the dead disciple?" As Long Xiaotian said this, the surrounding disciples all agreed in unison and there was a chorus of support. "Sect master, Elder Han is after all a great elder of the Thousand Machines Sect. He has worked hard over the years. He must not be 'burned and killed by fire'. His tone was full of magnanimity. He stepped onto the arena and looked at Han Kong. Then he said, "The bet between me and Elder Han was just a joke. It can't be taken seriously." Zhou Peng smiled faintly. He was kind and approachable. There was not a trace of resentment. Many people were praising Zhou Peng's magnanimity. It was really rare that he spoke up for the person who had framed him. "Zhou Peng is really a good person." "Compared to Zhou Peng, Elder Han is too despicable. Just now he even tried to kill him. Now Zhou Peng doesn't hold a grudge and even speaks up for him. He is truly magnanimous. Admirable." "My idol is different. Although I can't wait to execute Han Kong immediately, I firmly support my idol's decision..." ... Long Xiaotian's expression slightly changed. He didn't know what Zhou Peng's intention was. Looking at Zhou Peng, he said, "He just tried to kill you. Don't you resent him?" "Sect master, Elder Han is at the second stage of the Heaven and Earth realm. Within a thousand years, he can reach the great consummation realm. If he dies, it will be a great loss for the Thousand Machines Sect. This matter started because of me. If Elder Han dies, I will become a sinner through the ages." Zhou Peng smiled faintly. There was a hint of admiration for Han Kong in his tone. "This son can think so much for our Thousand Machines Sect. It is truly a fortune for our sect. I was just doubting you a moment ago. Alas..." Wuxin gently stroked his white goatee and said faintly. Immediately, the other two supreme elders also nodded gently. Their eyes were full of admiration for Zhou Peng. "Zhou Peng, stop your hypocrisy. Even if I die, I don't need you to plead for me..." Han Kong scolded in a deep voice, extremely angry. After all this time, he was completely calculated by Zhou Peng. For the first time in his hundreds of years of life, Han Kong suffered such an insult. That feeling was even worse than death. So the hatred in his eyes for Zhou Peng increased instead of decreasing. "Shut up." Long Xiaotian was furious and shouted loudly. "Han Kong, Zhou Peng is pleading for you. But you repay kindness with enmity. If you hadn't framed him first, how would you end up like this?" "Sect master..." "Shut up for me." Long Xiaotian shouted angrily again. Full of anger. He said, "Immediately apologize to Zhou Peng." "If it weren't for Zhou Peng pleading for you, you would be immediately punished severely. However, although the death penalty can be avoided, you can't escape punishment. From now on, you are punished to meditate in the Gale Valley for ten years. Within ten years, you must not leave without permission. Otherwise, you will be executed without mercy!" Meditating in the Gale Valley for ten years was a heavy punishment. However, the harsh environment of the Gale Valley didn't have a great impact on Han Kong at the second stage of the Heaven and Earth realm. So naturally, Han Kong also knew that Long Xiaotian was helping him. But having to apologize to Zhou Peng filled Han Kong's heart with killing intent. Zhou Peng still had a faint smile on his face. Looking very magnanimous. He wasn't angry at all because of Han Kong's eyes full of hatred. Just the experience of someone at the second stage of the Heaven and Earth realm was probably more than five million. Not to mention his 'celestial gang's domineering aura' that he cultivated. If he died like this, it would be too easy for Han Kong. If Han Kong died like this, Zhou Peng wouldn't gain any benefits. Instead, he would leave a bad impression in Long Xiaotian's heart. It was better to give him face, win people's hearts, and also perform well in front of the supreme elders. Within three days, Han Kong would definitely appear secretly. In these three days, Zhou Peng would definitely take the opportunity to leave the Thousand Machines Sect. By then... Thinking of this, Zhou Peng couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart. "When did I become so sinister?" "This is not good. Really not good..." "Hehe!" Zhou Peng secretly muttered to himself. A flash of extremely cold light appeared in the corner of his eyes. Extremely cold. Long Xiaotian glared at Han Kong. His expression changed again and again. Han Kong was extremely helpless. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry." Zhou Peng didn't move. Looking at Elder Han, he said, "What?" "I'm sorry!" Han Kong was almost extremely angry. Grinding his teeth, he said. The high and mighty great elder of the Thousand Machines Sect apologizing to a disciple was simply a humiliation. It was ten times more humiliating than humiliation. "Elder Han, what are you doing? I'm just an ordinary disciple. In the future, please give me more guidance in cultivation." Zhou Peng smiled brightly. The four words 'ordinary disciple' were emphasized particularly. In the history of the Thousand Machines Sect, this was probably the first time a great elder had apologized to a disciple. A 'sorry' was even more painful than killing Han Kong. It was inevitable that Han Kong would hold a grudge. He would definitely want to kill Zhou Peng as soon as possible. Within three days, he would definitely kill Zhou Peng when people weren't paying attention. All of this was calculated by Zhou Peng. "Five million experience points..." Zhou Peng was extremely excited in his heart. — At the Huxin Pavilion. Ao Bubai narrowed his eyes. The brocade carps around the pavilion swarmed away and disappeared instantly without a trace. Killing intent was fully revealed. For a long time. "Long Xiaotian actually dared to deceive me..." Ao Bubai said softly. Very calmly. But his aura was released like an earth-shaking upheaval. Above the lake, blood-colored clouds rolled out. It was as if the end of the world had come. The child behind him was excited and showed an extremely cold and sinister sneer. His purple eyes flashed with extremely sharp cold light. Sinisterly, he said. "I'll go kill him!"
