"Ha!" Slaughter Venerable let out a cold laugh and said, "Helian Tiehua, if you want to be a hero, I won't stop you. But remember, heroes never have a good end. So what if Ye has killed the Corpse Ghost Dragon? A common man's innocence can be his guilt when he possesses a treasure; he will never have peace holding the Buddha's Relic. Even if we don't come for it, others will. If you want to die, fine. As long as you keep protecting him, you won't live long either!"
Slaughter Venerable's words did not cause much change in Helian Tiehua's demeanor. He calmly said, "A man's life has one death. If one clings to life, what meaning is there in living longer?"
Hearing this, Slaughter Venerable's face turned dark. These hidden masters, in their pursuit of extending life, have exerted every effort to seek opportunities for longevity, truly clinging to life. Helian Tiehua's words were like a slap to his face.
