North State, the Ice Palace in the far north.

Su Chang turned around and looked at Xiao Lingyue. He didn’t expect the people from Xiaotian City to be so ruthless, using his woman as bait to lure him out.

"Why aren’t you running?!"

"Can you catch me? Do you have the ability?"

"No, but my man does."

Xiao Lingyue smiled. She took a great risk to capture Su Chang, and Xiaotian City was well-prepared. Of course, this Ice Palace was genuinely built for her. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

"Thinking that a mere trap formation can imprison me?"

Su Chang was not impressed. He used his special power to search for weak points in the formation. He found one and quickly struck it with his sword, causing a hole to appear. Su Chang then charged straight towards the hole.

However, instead of escaping, Su Chang was greeted by a long spear. His face turned pale as he gathered all his strength to attack the spear, but he was still knocked down and a deep crater appeared on the ground.

"Yue’er, I hope I didn’t come too late."

Lin Batian appeared beside Xiao Lingyue, and the hole in the formation quickly closed up.

"Lin, you came at the right time. Su Chang took the bait."

"Yes, I’ll capture him. We can’t let him get off too easily."

Lin Batian nodded. This move was inspired by Lin Wu’s unusual thinking. Lin Wu had told him to approach Su Chang with a twisted mindset.

Lin Batian had his people investigate Su Chang’ behavior. After a long time, they discovered that Su Chang had a particular hatred towards good-looking people. Even during acts of cruelty, he would torture them even more.

So he set up this trap, using Xiao Lingyue as bait, after all, there hasn’t been anyone in North State who looks better than Xiao Lingyue, at least for now.

Lin Batian went to find Su Chang, but he found that Su Chang had already disappeared from the pit. Lin Batian glanced at the formation, which had already closed. Su Chang must still be inside the formation, which was only about a hundred miles in size. Lin Batian used his spiritual sense to search inch by inch.

Soon, Lin Batian found Su Chang. Su Chang had hidden back in the Ice Palace, and he had captured most of the slaves and guards in the Ice Palace.

"Let me go, or I’ll kill them."

"Alright, go ahead and kill them."

Lin Batian said directly, using these people as hostages to threaten him. He didn’t know what Su Chang was thinking.

"You’re really ruthless."

"Whether you kill them or not, if you spare me, I will help you."

Lin Batian didn’t care at all. He had already abandoned so many members of the Lin family back then, not to mention just a few servants and guards.

"Be careful, Lin Lang, there must be deception."

Xiao Lingyue said on the side, based on her understanding of Su Chang, he wouldn’t be so dumb to threaten these people. If he really wanted to threaten someone, it should be her.

"Be cautious, the formation is blocking my clear vision. It could be an illusion or a clone."

Lin Batian nodded, but he still took action. He thrust his spear and directly broke the Ice Palace’s formation.

Then Lin Batian rushed towards Su Chang and indeed discovered that this person’s strength was extremely weak, definitely not the real body.

"Boom"

The real Su Chang appeared, once again attacking the weak point of the formation. This was his final move. If they couldn’t escape from here, they would truly be trapped.

Just as Su Chang was about to break through the formation, he suddenly felt his body becoming heavy. He looked down and saw that his feet were covered in frost, connected to the hands of Xiao Lingyue.

"Turn"

Xiao Lingyue shouted loudly, and the formation quickly activated. The hole closed up again, and the weak point shifted.

"Mean person."

Su Chang became very angry. The last bit of hope disappeared, and Su Chang turned and attacked Xiao Lingyue. He directly summoned his Soul Changing Dharma Appearance. His dharma body wasn’t his own, but it looked like a demon with a terrifying and boundless aura. Xiao Lingyue was thrown off guard by the violent impact.

"Go."

Lin Batian’s arrival saved Xiao Lingyue. He used a spear to repel Su Chang, and then also summoned his Soul Changing Dharma Appearance.

"Three heads and six arms of the Four Great Families."

Su Chang saw Lin Batian’s dharma body and immediately exclaimed in shock.

"It’s too late to know now."

Lin Batian was no longer afraid of revealing his identity. The guards and slaves of the Ice Palace had already been killed, either by their own battle or by the aftermath. Today, Su Chang was also bound to die.

The following battle was no longer suspenseful. Su Chang was actually very strong and had no match among his peers. Furthermore, he had a special body that grew stronger the more he got hurt or bled. In the end, he showed a power that exceeded his level of cultivation.

Unfortunately, he encountered Lin Batian, who was also an unbeatable warrior of the same level. In the end, Su Chang could only be beaten so badly that he passed out.

"If I were like him, at the early stage of Soul Changing, I would have to risk half of my life to defeat him."

Lin Batian sighed and said that the cultivation world hadn’t seen such a formidable warrior for a long time. It was a pity that he was now an enemy.

"Lin Lang, let’s not kill him for now."

"Yue’er, this person is hard to control. He has a volatile personality and poses a potential threat."

"I know. I don’t plan to tame him. Instead, I want to bring him back to Xiaotian City and publicly execute him in a gruesome manner. This will serve as a warning to the petty criminals who oppose Xiaotian City. There are still many bandits in North State who haven’t been completely eliminated. Let them see the consequences of going against Xiaotian City."

Xiao Lingyue said that she wanted to use Su Chang to intimidate the petty criminals. She didn’t want him to die too quickly because of how he had scared her earlier.

"Okay."

Lin Batian nodded. The group of thieves from North State has never been completely wiped out. It’s good to frighten them with Su Chang’s death. Besides, this person has killed so many people. It’s really too easy for him to die like this.

Lin Batian personally took action, destroying Su Chang’s cultivation and shattering his meridians and dantian. Su Chang had no chance of escaping.

Then, Lin Batian and Xiao Lingyue rushed back to Xiaotian City with Su Chang. The newly built Ice Palace was also destroyed, so they had to find someone to repair it. It would take a few months before they could return.

Su Chang’s capture caused a great uproar in Xiaotian City. The name Su Chang was well-known and for the past few years, he had caused great harm to the people of Xiaotian City. Despite efforts, he couldn’t be captured. Now that he’s been caught, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"Now that we have captured them, how should we execute them?"

Lin Batian gathered everyone for discussion. Killing someone is easy, but killing them in an artistic way is much more difficult.

"Skinning and bone removal."

"Burning of the soul."

"Beheading."

The people started talking all at once, discussing how to get rid of Su Chang. They all had the right to speak because he had done the same thing to others. They just wanted an eye for an eye.

"Maybe we can turn him into an evil spirit. We have many dark secret techniques, like human figures, ghosts, and enchanted objects."

"That’s a good plan! Let’s kill him like that. He deserves it after killing so many people, especially in the past few years. His victims all died terrible deaths. We shouldn’t let him off so easily."

"Let’s make him into an enchanted object. I have a secret technique that can transfer him into the object. It will give the object great power. How does that sound? It’ll be a powerful artifact."

"Or we can turn him into a spirit item. With his strong soul, it will greatly enhance the power of the artifact."

"Friend Tian and Friend Wei, what do you think?"

Lin Batian said to Tian Li and Wei Dao, but they remained silent. He needed to ask for their opinions.

"Brother Lin, let’s not resort to the same methods as Su Chang. He is evil, but we are not. If we use the same methods against him, we would be too cruel. It’s better to let him meet his fate, whether it’s life or death."

Tian Li said that he and Wei Dao are from a respectable and righteous family. They should not be too malicious towards Su Chang, as it is not good for future generations. If descendants learn to achieve their goals without any moral standards, then there is no bottom line.

"Brother Tian is right. We are on the right path, while Su Chang is on the wrong path. We should not lower ourselves to his level. Let’s just directly defeat him and destroy his soul."

Lin Batian nodded, saying that killing someone shouldn’t be done excessively. It is enough to physically eliminate the person’s body and soul. There is no need to say more.
