Blazing Huo actually had another option. He could let the formation in the underground palace explode, which would cause destruction on both sides.
Besides, the destruction might only be on one side because Lu Li had Relic armor. In addition, in the precise moment of the explosion, Lu Li could go into the Wicked Bead. Given the strength of the Wicked Bead, as long as Lu Li was inside, he could stay alive.
As for the death of the Deaf Taoist? What was the point of that? The immortal's body might remain unharmed as well. Those were the reasons that Blazing Huo did not set off the formation and had chosen to surrender.
The Deaf Taoist ranked No.4 among the Purgatory's Top 10 and Chen Tianxian was the Family Patriarch of the Chen Family and ruler of the Central Imperial Universe. Both were Lu Li's soul slaves. This made Blazing Huo felt more comfortable and less shameful.
