”...”
The silence that permeated the air was heart-twisting. The truth of the cultivation world was being revealed here. Why did powerful cultivators murder on the streets without care? Why did they eradicate entire families, clans, or forces to root any potential threat? With the power to exceed, you could do so openly and everyone would simply take it as par for the course.
”It was their own weakness!”
”This one person condemned the entire clan to death!”
”Her beauty was simply too great, calamity was bound to happen!”
Whatever reason it may be, the fact of the matter was: The strongest could do whatever the hell they wanted, and the other party would be blamed for their weakness, idiocy, or having things people coveted! This was strength.
It was the might to always be right.
This was the world of cultivation!
”Now, should I kill him or do you think I'm innocent?” Yan Zaizen smilingly said. Those words were spoken as if he was asking him if he wanted to eat here or there in total casualness. As if the choice itself was irrelevant. Dong Lin's expression was beyond ugly. Dong Sei had an even uglier one.
In truth, Dong Lin wasn't an idiot nor was Dong Sei. They knew that the moment Yan Zaizen displayed his incredible prowess, he had no reason to fear them thus no reason to lie. From just this display, his body cultivation easily rivaled a peak-True Essence Cultivator! He could kill them all easily if he wanted and everyone would only say they brought it upon themselves for falsely accusing someone or overestimating themselves.
After all, each difference in stage for the True Essence Realm was like the difference between the sky and the earth. Yan Zaizen's body cultivation could rival those at the peak-True Essence Realm, to those at the initial or mid-stages, it was like a Qi Unification expert versus an Origin Core expert.
Ma Xiuren's eyes shined brilliantly at Yan Zaizen's domineering display, while Tang Li's expression was solemn. Guàn Cui and her group also had a solemn expression. They all realized the truth of the circumstance. The crowd did as well. However, many had extra vigilance in their eyes. To think that a seemingly middle-tier group actually had such an ace hidden! What if they engaged in life or death battle for benefits against them, wouldn't they just die?
They were too cunning!
”We understand! You're innocent.” Dong Lin calmly exclaimed. There was no reason to continue fighting at this point unless they had a death wish.
”Good! Good that you understand. Now, give me everything you have. Your spatial possessions, your clothes, your shoes, and your armaments. Then, if they satisfy me, I'll consider sparing his life. Oh, also yours.” Yan Zaizen said with a warm smile. He wasn't a pushover. He hated being schemed against, but even worse, he hated being accused of something he didn't do!
If he was weak, wouldn't he be dead? Wouldn't they be extracting his spatial possessions, taking his clothes, his shoes, and his armaments from his corpse? So, he'll do the same.
”!” Everyone was shocked. So ruthless. However, they truly brought this upon themselves. It was already lucky Yan Zaizen didn't directly kill them and take their things afterwards. He pretty much was giving them a way out, and many cultivators, a vast majority actually, would directly kill these people and eliminate their entire force when they returned.
However, despite their ugly expressions, they gave up their possessions. This humiliation may be great but it's already lucky this was all that was asked for. If you could give them any positive points, they were decisive. Without their Ancient Emperor its likely they would suffer war and extermination when they returned, and if they all died here, their families and clan will definitely be wantonly raided by others. It'll be lucky if Princess Qin isn't taken as a slave.
”I like your decisiveness.” After gathering everything, he placed them into the Meteor Ring. Various rebounds occurred, with everyone amongst their group spurting various mouthfuls of blood. It seems they had tracking formations or other things interconnected to them within their possessions.
SWOOSH!
Yan Zaizen tossed Dong Long like a sack of potatoes. Turning towards Tang Li and Guàn Cui, his eyes flickered with a trace of disappointment. If he was weak, they would've left him for dead, abandoning him with their actions. Despite their supposed team-up.
However, what could Yan Zaizen expect? He didn't blame them, because he would've done the same thing! He didn't know them outside of their names, why would he clean up their own mess? Especially if he felt disgusted at their actions.
He disliked being a hypocrite, so he tries hard to actively put himself in other people's shoes. ”I'll consider my job as your guide terminated by your actions. Am I correct?” Yan Zaizen asked Guàn Cui.
Surprisingly, she didn't have any fear in her eyes only unyielding pride, ”That's correct.” Her words were neutral in tone but decisive. Nodding in understanding, Yan Zaizen landed near the Asura's Milk, his eyes flashing with traces of silver-blue light.
Hm?
Turning to the side, he saw a cute little girl in a flower dress staring at him. It was Ma Xiuren! She was fairly close in proximity. Her gaze was honed on Yan Zaizen and she was smiling brightly at him. With that, he understood and nodded. ”Fine, I guess it'll be just you and me.” Earlier, Ma Xiuren didn't physically retreat, not to mention, she didn't seem to have any ill-intentions.
Guàn Cui's expression was a little frustrated, but she didn't speak. Both of these characters were oddities with profound strength, and their decisions were theirs to make. As for Tang Li, his eyes flickered but he didn't step up.
