Chapter 384 (1/2)

”Y-young master Wang… w-what are you doing?”

”I never liked you Tong, you were also a major ċȯċk-blocker…”

Zhang Dong and the others flinched the moment they saw the Soaring Dragon Sect's young master plunge a demonic-looking dagger through his retainer's ċhėst. The old man had been tasked with the young man's protection for quite some time, but he never thought that he would be capable of doing such a thing.

”What is that maniac doing, why would he attack one of his own?”

One of the elders from Zhang Dong's side called out as they were all slowly edging the Soaring Dragon Sect members to the edge of the barrier through which they were unable to leave.

”Dang… he really only sees these people as spirit points.”

Zhang Dong quickly realized what was the purpose of Wang Long's action. While normally it would be hard to instantly kill a nascent soul master, Elder Tong let his guard down and was focusing on the enemies in front of him. The dagger that Wang Long was using was also not a simple item as he could feel Tong's nascent divinity fading quickly as he died.

”....Wang L-long… y-you…”

”Don't think this is over you fuċker, I'll remember this!”

Wang Long pointed at Zhang Dong with the dagger while his figure started flickering. It was clear that he had killed the nascent soul master to get more points and activated a teleportation feature.

Zhang Dong's own system had several teleportation options like these. All of them required points to be spent and probably the one Wang Long was using required far more than he had.

'Bob, can you stop him from teleporting!'

'Not enough spirit points to comply with the request.'

Was his AI's reply as Wang Long vanished into the ether. The young master from the Soaring Dragon Sect was sure to flip the bird toward's Zhang Dong who charged at him but was too slow.

He had managed to go through all those blasted wings but only landed one good hit. Wang Long's nasty face remained embedded in his mind as he knew that he would be a troublesome foe.

With the system on his side, there was no way of knowing what he could do. The otherworldler was not against killing his own people for points and Zhang Dong feared what that crazy person would do now.

'He must have teleported back to his own home point.'

Even though the Soaring Dragon Sect was a huge one, this didn't mean that they had unlimited resources. The ten late stage nascent soul elders that were here would not be coming back, neither would be the strongest Elder Tong from them all.

This should be a big hit that they would not be able to bounce back that easily. If it was a normal encounter it was even possible for the Soaring Dragon Sect to not do anything out of fear of losing more resources.

It would be easy for their enemies to attack if they diverted their elders towards this sect. They would require more powerful elders of the late and great circle nascent soul level for the next attack as the United Element Sect had shown that they would not go down without a fight.

From his point of view, their enemies would probably petition the other middle sized sects for aid and go into a long-lasting battle while also watching. Their enemies on the other hand could very well contact Zhang Dong's sect to aid and prolong the fights which would give them well-needed time to advance further.

While these thoughts went through his head he looked to the side. There he saw the remaining late stage nascent soul elders that witnessed their young master murdering their own. Zhang Dong knew that these old men and women here didn't come here out of their own volition but they were also fine with murdering his whole sect.

”People of the Soaring Dragon Sect, surrender now and we will spare your lives.”

Even then, he felt like giving them an option was the right thing to do.

”Surrender to a lowly sect like you? Don't listen to them my brothers and sisters, they are but a puny...Ugh…”

Before the old man with the long gray beard could continue he found someone's hand grasping his abdomen. This was Zhang Dong that in a fraction of a second traveled over to him and was now successfully sapping away all of his strength.

”I will not repeat myself, either you surrender or you all will die. You might think that you have a chance of victory but I ȧssure you that you don't!”

The old man started screaming while his vitality was suċkėd away. What Zhang Dong was doing might have seemed cruel but he had to show that he was being serious. Thus with the help of his soul core, he started absorbing the man's nascent soul while the elder was still alive.

This caused the soul beast that belonged to this cultivator to just vanish into oblivion. The remaining group of nascent soul elders were quick to jump in to help their comrade and the battle continued.

He had hoped for a peaceful resolution but it was clear that these people would rather die than have their cultivation be removed. As someone that lived a large chunk of his life as a regular human, this was not something that he understood. There were many things like creating a family and living a fulfilling life that a person could strive for even without being a cultivator.

So the battle continued and with Zhang Dong's increased strength it was soon over. With more time on his hands, he was able to come to terms with his new power. He was not sure how he would stack about the top experts on the continent but a regular great circle nascent soul master would not give him that much trouble.

With this in mind, he was expecting his next realm to be something entirely different than before. Whatever this small white seed was, it continued to grow and when it sprouted he might have access to something totally different than the nascent soul level.
