Suo Shisan felt incredulous. How could anyone in the immortal realm not know how powerful the Five Elements Hall was?
"Your Excellency, do you not know that those who kill disciples of the Five Elements Hall will be executed, and your family will also be implicated? This is the law of the Five Elements Hall. Do you dare to defy it?"
Suo Shisan was trying to secure his own survival, but as a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, he was too proud. Even when begging for mercy, he threatened others with a tough demeanor.
Wan Lei picked up Suo Shisan and brought him to a patch of volcanic rock exposed above the mountain peaks not far away, placing him on the ground.
Then, he squatted in front of Suo Shisan and patted his cheek,
"As far as I know, this is an outlaw zone designated by the Five Elements Hall. Even if I kill you, I will not violate the laws of the Five Elements Hall."
"That is indeed the case, but don't forget, there are hundreds of disciples of the Five Elements Hall in this Lava Dead Domain. Most of them are stronger than me. If you kill me, they will definitely come to avenge me.
Even if you turn around and leave the Lava Dead Domain now, you won't be able to escape for long in the outside world. Your appearance, your strength, and your friends – I have already transmitted all of them to my senior brothers.
Don't think I'm scaring you. The robes of the disciples of the Five Elements Hall are not just symbols of defense and identity. Once the recording is activated, they can also record what the disciples have done.
In the outside world, no matter where you escape to, as long as you are still in the main plane, the Five Elements Hall can find you and kill you.
The Five Elements Hall has too many ways to deal with you.
The authority of the Five Elements Hall cannot be challenged.
And disciples of the Five Elements Hall are not something for lowly ants like you to kill."
Suo Shisan sneered.
Wan Qianxin walked over to Wan Lei and explained,
"What he says is true. The clothes of his Five Elements Hall disciples can indeed record the appearance of their enemies, and this is to protect the disciples of the Five Elements Hall. Here, his fellow disciples may also seek revenge for him.
But you don't need to worry about offending the Five Elements Hall because of this. The higher-ups of the Five Elements Hall are not that petty and will not trouble you for killing their disciples in an outlaw zone.
If others pursue you outside, such as his relatives and friends seeking personal revenge, you just need to record the enemy's appearance and report it to any branch of the Five Elements Hall, and they will face severe punishment.
The Five Elements Hall is quite fair in this regard."
Hearing this, Suo Shisan immediately sneered,
"Hmph, as long as my fellow disciples don't wear the robes of the Five Elements Hall and slightly change their appearance, do you have proof that they are disciples of the Five Elements Hall?
Kid, if you let me go now, I can pretend that nothing happened, and consider it a loss. My disciples of the Five Elements Hall are not people who can't afford to lose..."
*Slap!*
Before Suo Shisan could finish speaking, Wan Lei interrupted him with a slap.
"Heh, if your Five Elements Hall were truly as united as you say, why wouldn't you join forces and sweep through the entire Lava Dead Domain?
I don't think any rogue cultivators or giant beasts would be a match for a hundred disciples of the Five Elements Hall, right?
But you didn't. You scattered and acted individually. I think while you are guarding against other rogue cultivators, you are also guarding against disciples of the Five Elements Hall coming to kill you, right?
Although there are rules from the Fire Phoenix King, if your own people kill each other here, I don't think your Five Elements Hall will bother much.
I think very few people would be willing to avenge you. If only a few come, I'm not afraid. If many come, that's impossible.
Outside this place, the Five Elements Hall cannot openly order a pursuit against me, so tell me, what concerns do I have?"
Wan Lei looked at Suo Shisan playfully, a wicked smile on his lips,
"Actually, I hope disciples of your Five Elements Hall come to avenge you, because I'm short on money right now. I heard that disciples of your Five Elements Hall are all rolling in wealth?"
Suo Shisan's expression changed upon hearing this, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief. He had never seen anyone so audacious.
"You even want to hunt disciples of the Five Elements Hall?"
His gaze seemed to say: Are you crazy?
"It's not hunting. I came here just to find some fire lotuses for cultivation. You tried to snatch my fire lotuses, so how could I let you go?
As for the disciples of the Five Elements Hall..."
Wan Lei tapped Suo Shisan's clothes,
"This thing can record others' appearances? That's great! Let the people of the Five Elements Hall see. I have no intention of provoking them, but if they want to come and avenge you, I welcome it wholeheartedly."
After speaking, Wan Lei raised his hand and smashed Suo Shisan's head with a slap.
As for Suo Shisan's soul, Wan Lei did not trouble it, allowing it to dissipate.
He wondered if the souls of immortals remained in the immortal realm after death or went to the underworld.
Wan Lei tore off Suo Shisan's storage bag and was stunned when he opened it.
"Holy hell, disciples of the Five Elements Hall are so rich?! So many magical treasures, and this spirit stone... it's so large, and the spiritual energy is so pure. Is this a top-grade spirit stone?!
This is tens of millions, and there are also divine abilities and techniques...
Huh? I can't view the divine abilities and techniques, what's going on? I don't have permission?"
After being shocked for a while, Wan Lei calmed down and looked up, only to find that the four little ones and Dada were all looking at him with the contemptuous eyes of bumpkins.
"Heh, he's from the lower realm and hasn't seen so many good things. Well, let's divide the spoils, ten percent each, same old rules."
...
Outside the Lava Dead Domain, two graceful figures still stood in the void.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Wan Lei has quite the guts. He actually dared to kill them. How many years has it been since someone dared to openly kill disciples of the Five Elements Hall like this?"
Susan clicked her tongue in amazement, observing Wan Lei below with great interest.
"Precisely because of this, the disciples of the Five Elements Hall have become increasingly presumptuous and arrogant in recent years."
The Fire Phoenix King snorted coldly,
"As the Five Elements Hall's control over various planes stabilizes, more and more disciples are sent out. These people, relying on the prestige of the Five Elements Hall, have become increasingly proud and arrogant, thinking that no one in the world can defeat them. In reality, it's just that others are deterred by the authority of the Five Elements Hall and are unwilling to attack them.
Allowing these people to come to the Dead Domain and designating it as an outlaw zone this time is precisely to let the rogue cultivators properly temper their arrogance.
However, they are plundering and killing here, and other rogue cultivators dare not resist, making them even more overbearing, which is counterproductive.
Now that someone has finally killed a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, it's a good opportunity to boost the morale of other rogue cultivators, so they don't get scared and their legs turn soft at the sight of a Five Elements Hall disciple."
Then, the Fire Phoenix King's voice spread throughout the entire Dead Domain.
"Rogue cultivator Wan Lei has killed Suo Shisan, a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, and seized all of Suo Shisan's wealth. The Five Elements Hall has unlocked the usage permission for Suo Shisan's technological weapons for Wan Lei."
