C1186 Iron Fist Punishment
Gu Wentian was talented and intelligent since he was a child. He believed that no one in the world could compare with him in terms of talent and cultivation. He could do whatever he wanted, and it would be a piece of cake for him to take over the Chaostic Essence Sect. Who knew that he hadn't fulfilled his wish all these years, even though he had taken control of the people of the Chaostic Essence Sect? He didn't get their recognition, so he could only lie to himself. He had claimed to be the Sect Master of Chaostic Essence Sect. Regarding this, although he was deeply unhappy about it, the only thing he could do was to try his best to stop the others from competing for the position of Sect Master of the Chaostic Essence Sect. At the same time, he would use all his strength to threaten and tempt the people of the Chaostic Essence Sect, hoping that they would surrender as soon as possible. He would take over the Chaostic Essence Sect as soon as possible.
When he saw Du Qi, Wenn Wanru and the others come uninvited the day before, Gu Wentian felt even more unhappy. However, in front of Wenn Wanru, it was inconvenient for him to overdo it. Plus, he also wanted to expand his power. That was why he pretended to be magnanimous and wanted Du Qi to obey him. Who knew that Du Qi would not pay him back? Instead, he ordered him to let go of the people from the Chaostic Essence Sect who were being controlled.
Although Gu Wentian spent most of his time in the Chaostic Essence Sect, he had many spies in the Jianghu. He often walked around in the martial arts world, so he had been paying attention to Du Qi. He had followed him many times, but he had seen that Du Qi was far weaker than him. He had not personally eliminated Du Qi, but he did not know that Du Qi's strength had improved by leaps and bounds recently. That was why he dared to suddenly attack when Du Qi was contradicting him. He wanted to kill Du Qi with a single strike in order to regain his intimidation. Who would have thought that he would be seriously injured by Du Qi's palm instead? His cultivation base was almost crippled. He had no idea whether or not he could recover his cultivation base, let alone advance or break through. The unwillingness and despair in his heart could be imagined.
In these two days, Gu Wentian naturally thought of many things, but he didn't realize his mistake. Instead, he thought that what he had done was natural. If it wasn't for Du Qi, the Chaostic Essence Sect would have been his sooner or later. Now, they had fallen into such a state. It was all because of Du Qi. It was Du Qi who had destroyed everything he had. Therefore, he had always held a grudge against Du Qi. When he heard Du Qi's words, Gu Wentian said in a tough tone, "The winner takes all. It has been the same since ancient times. Today, I am unfortunately injured by you. Being controlled by you, I naturally have nothing to say. What means do you have? Just use it. I won't be able to wait for twenty years. Perhaps, after twelve years, I will be a good man again! "
Du Qi had never intended to let Gu Wentian go. He wanted to use Gu Wentian as a warning to others. In addition, he vaguely felt that the relationship between Chaotic Essence Great God and Heavenly Worthy of the Primordial Beginning was a little complicated and hard to understand. He was stuck in the middle. If he did not handle it well, he would be doomed forever. Naturally, he could not tolerate people with two hearts by his side, especially when it came to dealing with traitors. He had to be punished with an iron fist in order to have a deterrent effect. Otherwise... Otherwise, he might not be able to move at all.
Seeing that Gu Wentian was still so stubborn even in the face of death, Du Qi could not help but feel angry. He said coldly, "Gu Wentian, what you have done is undoubtedly causing trouble. It is hard to forgive your crime. I will never show mercy to traitors. Don't think that you can say a few harsh words. I will spare you. A traitor like you... I will definitely kill you completely, so that you won't even be able to be a ghost. I will never have the chance to reincarnate! "
Perhaps the others didn't know what Du Qi meant when he said that he was going to kill them all, even ghosts wouldn't be able to do what he said. However, Yuwen Qianmo, Bo Jiuyang, Gu Wentian and the others who were at the Nascent Soul stage knew better. As the saying goes, complete annihilation. Not only did they want to destroy the body, but they also wanted to destroy the soul and Yuan Shen. If a person's soul was destroyed, he naturally wouldn't become a ghost. And he wouldn't have the chance to reincarnate into a human again. Thus... Gu Wentian's facial expression changed dramatically when he heard that Du Qi was going to kill him. He cried out in fear, "You can't do this to me!"
Ignoring Gu Wentian, Du Qi raised his right hand after he finished speaking. A wisp of blue flame suddenly floated on the tip of his index finger, emitting a terrifying heat. It suddenly swept out in all directions, as if it wanted to burn everything around it.
Without waiting for the crowd to react, Du Qi lightly flicked. That wisp of flame only flashed once, and then it shot onto Gu Wentian's body. With a slight explosive sound, it instantly turned into a raging flame. It wrapped around Gu Wentian. In just an instant, Gu Wentian didn't even have the chance to scream. He was burned to the point where not even his bones were left, leaving only a wisp of smoke behind. The smoke curled up and floated above the roof of the hall.
Feeling the terrifying heat of the flame and seeing the scene in front of him... Everyone lost their colors in fear, especially those who were kneeling there, who were even more terrified. At least thirty people were so scared that they collapsed to the ground. There were even six or seven people who were so scared that they lost control of themselves. Immediately, a pungent smell filled the air. Even Bo Jiuyang was trembling with fear. For no reason, there was a lingering fear in his heart. If Du Qi had used this kind of strange flame when fighting with him yesterday, he would have ended up in the same situation as Gu Wentian. How could he still have his life now?
In order to strengthen the deterrence effect, Du Qi didn't hesitate to use the Earth Heart Spirit Flame to kill Gu Wentian. Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Du Qi was very satisfied, but he still unleashed a powerful Qi. He said sternly, "This is the outcome of a traitor. I hope everyone will take this as a warning and don't repeat his mistake!"
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines when they felt Du Qi's aura and heard his stern words. Even Yuwen Qianmo couldn't help but feel a sense of horror.
They had to manage a sect well, especially a powerful one. It wasn't enough to only rely on the strict rules, but also the power of both kindness and intimidation. He had to make his subordinates believe in him, and also make his subordinates fear him. They had to consciously obey those rules and regulations, and they had to consciously obey management and orders. He had to protect the reputation of the sect and treat the sect as his home. No matter what kind of danger or threat they faced, they would never betray the sect. What Du Qi did... Without a doubt, it's developing into an ideal situation.
At this moment, Du Qi had no time to pay attention to the feelings of the crowd. As long as they could remember what had happened and how they felt today, it would be fine. Therefore... After saying those words, Du Qi cast his gaze towards the people of the Gu family who were kneeling there. He said coldly, "All of you helped Gu Wentian to be abused. You should have committed the same crime as him. However, since all of you are from the Chaostic Essence Sect, I will give all of you a chance to defend yourselves. As long as you have a good reason, and swear to never betray me, you will never betray me. I will give all of you a chance to turn over a new leaf, otherwise... Even if I do not kill you, I will expel you from the sect. Don't think that this is a light punishment. You will have no place in the Pugilistic World! "
When they heard Du Qi's words, the expressions of the Gu family members were still different. They looked at each other in silence for a long time before a man in black in his forties knelt on the ground and moved his position. He carefully said, "I, Gu Quanfaang, have always disliked what Gu Wentian did. I have been forced to come here this time. I hope young master Wan can see through me."
