Above the starry sky, the terrifying martial force grand array had been shattered.
Yet the dazzling golden light was even more unsettling.
The previously invincible Prison Sect, though not a single member had died, had all had their chests pierced by the golden light regardless of their cultivation level. Their trembling bodies foretold that they had lost all fighting strength.
But looking toward where the golden light emanated, they still couldn't see anyone's figure.
This unknown mysterious person was far more terrifying than the Prison Sect.
"Can we leave?"
"My Lord, can you please let us leave this place?"
In their panic, some looked toward Ouyang Mingchang and the others.
They didn't want to stay here anymore. They feared that this unknown figure might truly kill them all.
Buzz— But as soon as the words fell, a barrier gate wreathed in lightning materialized.
It was a one-way passage connected to the Ouyang Heavenly Clan's grand array. Stepping through this gate would allow one to leave this place.
Though the Ouyang Heavenly Clan said nothing, they had made their stance clear.
So, many people quickly stepped through the barrier gate. They no longer cared about watching the spectacle—they just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
However, many others had not left. They had their own considerations. Even if they could leave through the barrier gate, they would only be departing the Primordial Killing Sea. But compared to what was inside, would it really be safer outside?
"Kneel, and I may consider sparing your sect."
Above the void, the mysterious person's voice rang out once more, directed at Ji Mo Qianzhou.
Hearing this, Ji Mo Qianzhou knelt upon the starry sky without the slightest hesitation.
He then prostrated himself, bowing in the direction from which the voice came.
"I was the one who attacked you. It has nothing to do with the others of my sect."
"Kill me, torture me—I, Ji Mo Qianzhou, will accept whatever you decide."
"But I beg you, spare them."
This scene surprised everyone. Not just outsiders—even members of the Prison Sect were stunned.
They had never imagined that their usually aloof and stern Prison Marshal would surrender his dignity and kneel to beg for mercy on their behalf.
But Ji Mo Qianzhou had no other choice. When that golden light pierced his body, he had already realized that his opponent was an existence he could never defeat. Moreover, even that martial force grand array had been easily broken through.
He might not escape death today, but if he could let his sect members leave, his conscience would be somewhat at ease.
After all, he was the one who had led these people here.
"Hahaha, how interesting."
The voice spoke again. But in the next instant, blood sprayed as the golden light that had pierced Ji Mo Qianzhou's chest sliced diagonally, cutting away half of his body.
At the same time, however, the golden lights that had pierced the Prison Sect members were withdrawn.
"Get lost."
With those words, the Prison Sect members dared not delay. They quickly dragged the gravely wounded Ji Mo Qianzhou and fled into the distance.
The starry sky briefly returned to tranquility.
But the Ouyang Heavenly Clan members dared not dismiss their grand array. Instead, they watched warily toward the outside of the Primordial Killing Sea.
Before long, those who had entered the barrier gate emerged from the passage, arriving in the starry sky outside the Primordial Star Sea.
The barrier gate they exited from was extremely well-hidden. Under normal circumstances, no one could discover it.
Moreover, those who had escaped were no fools. They had almost all employed their best concealment techniques to hide themselves.
Clang— But suddenly, a streak of golden light shot toward the location of the fleeing figures. In an instant, blood erupted as their bodies were severed.
They didn't even have the chance to scream before being killed.
"I let them leave, but I never said you could leave."
The mysterious person's voice followed.
Seeing this, those who had already reached the barrier gate quickly retreated.
Soon, the mysterious person's voice rang out again. Though everyone heard it clearly, these words were obviously not directed at them.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
"Did you think hiding far away would let you escape?"
