Of course, even if he could escape back to his Sect, he would not be able to avoid punishment and might even face certain death, but at least there would still be a glimmer of hope to live. If he stayed, however, it would surely be a dead end!
He had, however, underestimated Li Zhirui's strength.
As soon as he detonated his Magic Artifact, Li Zhirui knew that he was trying to flee, and immediately set up a circle of Spirit Seeds around him. The moment he moved, countless tendrils burst from the ground and formed a cage, giving him no chance to escape.
"Aaaah!" Seeing no chance for escape, the string in his mind that had been taut instantly snapped. He attacked in a frenzy, as if doing so could somehow enable him to get away.
Li Zhirui, upon seeing this, decided not to torture him any longer. He made his move, and a vine with sharp thorns silently approached from behind and pierced deeply into his heart, ending his life.
