Even if he was unwilling to face Joe Di directly, at this moment Leon Yue had no choice but to summon his Octagonal Universe Hammer. But before he could fully activate it, a terrifying aura of death enveloped him.
In fact, he had already stopped attacking the trapping-killing array. This immortal array was of an extremely high grade; if everyone worked together, there might be a slim chance of breaking it.
But everyone trapped inside was only concerned with their own interests, frantically attacking the spot they wanted to break through. In the short term, this was of little use.
Not to mention Mona Chancy hadn’t attacked at all. Inside this defensive array, there was also Yin Wushang who sided with Joe Di, and an old cultivator who hadn’t revealed himself yet.
"Marlon Jace, you're despicable!" Leon Yue roared angrily, collapsing to the ground and grabbing several pills to swallow.
In the entire first-floor hall, aside from Yin Wushang and Mona Chancy who hadn't made a move, Joe Di didn't lay a hand on Miles Silent.
For Aaron Jace's sake, Joe Di couldn't kill Marlon Jace, but making sure this man suffered was necessary.
Leon Yue sent a voice transmission to Joe Di, saying, "Fellow Daoist Di, I admit defeat. If you spare me this time, I'll kill Byron Yeh for you and open my mind for you to place a Soulseal Restriction."
"Thank you, Brother Di, for showing mercy. My Crescent Trade Tower was only incited by Xiling Yuanyi..." Mona Chancy secretly rejoiced that she hadn't attacked the trapping-killing array; otherwise, the fate of Pavilion Master Fu Jue would have been her warning.
Before Mona Chancy could finish, Joe Di interrupted her, "Zhong Ao, this woman thinks I'm still in kindergarten, spouting such childish nonsense. Wake her up a bit— even without the trapping-killing array, a fifth-level Immortal Emperor can't speak so freely here."
Mona Chancy still hadn't figured out how Joe Di could see through her cultivation when an immortal essence handprint grabbed her.
Mona Chancy was, after all, a fifth-level Immortal Emperor. She frantically expanded her domain, hoping to break free from Zhong Ao's immortal essence handprint before admitting fault to Joe Di.
Zhong Ao's immortal essence handprint seemed unhurried, yet without any pause it tore apart Mona Chancy's domain, seized her by the throat, and slammed her to the ground.
A continuous sound of bones breaking echoed as Mona Chancy felt her cultivation leaving her, and a wave of death surged over.
"Brother Di, please show mercy. My Crescent Trade Tower was blind this time, daring to come here seeking profit. Whatever was lost, Crescent Trade Tower will compensate, without delay." Mona Chancy no longer dared to harbor any wishful thinking.
Joe Di nodded. "That's more like it. Remember, before you try to snatch something from someone, you must first learn how to speak. Otherwise, it could cost your life."
