Vol 27 Chapter 28 (2/2)

“You can continue to live,” Prince Greatjoy said coldly, “But you have to do as I say”

“Y-y-yes” The three World Gods hurriedly nodded

“Swear a lifeblood oath that you will never divulge what happened today to anyone In addition, swear that you will honestly answer any questions we ask you,” Prince Greatjoy ordered grimly

“Yes” The three World Gods didn’t even think about fighting back or arguing as they all obediently swore the lifeblood oaths All three of theray-robed cultivators were viewed as nightmares by other cultivators, but today they were filled with the utray ar the five before them

“Why did you atte and the others watched

“There were only five of you, and all of you were World-level cultivators We thought you’d be easy to deal with” A skinnybeard hurried to be the first to respond

“No other reasons? You were going to kill us just because ere easy targets?” Prince Greatjoy was puzzled, and he swept his gaze across the other two

“Right”

“That is the case”

The three all immediately nodded

Ning and the others exchanged a glance This was the third time they had been ambushed in the past hly a thousand years to travel froion It would make sense for them to be ambushed once every decade, but for them to be ambushed three times in onehway robbery

“We were ambushed three times in one month” Prince Greatjoy frowned “Do you knohy?”

“You don’t know?” The skinny, bearded World God looked at him

“Speak!” Prince Greatjoy’s eyes lit up, as did the eyes of Ning and the others

“Because of Nine Godstars,” the prisoner said hurriedly “Nine Godstars has already for new disciples”

Ning and the others exchanged a glance Nine Godstars was an extreanization

“They only accept World-level cultivators as new members, and you have to have personally slain at least a thousand other World-level cultivators before you are qualified to join them,” the bearded man said “Once news of this spread, not only did this cause an enorhteen territories next to Nine Godstars, it also caused a stir in hundreds of nearby territories! Many extrean to furiously hunt down and kill down other World-level cultivators It has been an absolute massacre Weaker cultivators like us have nowhere to hide, and so we have to join together in large numbers to stay safe”

“What? You have to kill a thousand World-level cultivators in order to becohtshore was shocked

“That’s a bit crazy” Heartlord Solewind frowned

“This entrance require shook his head

To kill a thousand World-level cultivators was an extremely difficult Even enslaved, oathbound World-level slaves were only willing to serve because it gave the his slaves, the slave would probably go all-out in fighting back If the slave was going to die noWhen Daolord Windsource was about to die, his slaves would often curse and berate hi to fear

Even if you were an extremely powerful cultivator… after ht’ve worked hard to kill several hundred cultivators, only to end up dead in ditch for some reason

To actually kill a thousand would be very, very difficult

“Nine Godstars is the number one sect within hundreds of territories, after all” Next to the bearded man was an extremely muscular World God dressed in scale armor He said hurriedly, “Nine Godstars has nine major branches, and each branch is led by a e As for its most powerful expert, that person is ranked as one of the elite Paladins of the Church of Destruction”

Ning’s group knew all this The Church of Destruction was in control of this entire alternate universe and was an utterly enoranization The ‘Paladins’ of the Church of Destruction held high positions and were extremely respected

“Nine Godstars will only be accepting eighteen disciples this time,” the scaled World God said hurriedly “They’ll stop once the final slot is taken! I hear that the top three will be given Archaeus ion”

“Archaeus ued

Archaeus eh the transversal conduit and used many schemes but had only been able to accumulate a few of those medallions over the course of countless years

“That’s why everyone in the surrounding territories has gonea disciple, they’ll even have a chance of gaining a legendary Archaeus medallion All of the transcendent World-level cultivators in the nearby territories have all hastened over here There’s nowhere for weaker World Gods like us to run” The bearded man shook his head “That’s why you’ll encounter ahout these territories Most likely, it’ll only cohteenth and final disciple”

Finally, Ning’s group had an answer as to why there was such a high concentration of powerful cultivators It was because the weaker ones had all been killed!

The ones still alive were fairly strong, and some had actually hastened to this place from other territories

“If they knew that all five of us each hold an Archaeus ine how many World Gods would coht even be Daolords cohtshore sent an ae to the others

“Haha, we definitely can’t let them find out”

Now that they knew the reason behind this… they still felt some pressure, but they also felt much more relaxed

“It seeh ill often be attacked over the next century or so,” Prince Greatjoy sent “Everyone, let’s not be too reckless The hty Nine Godstars sect is behind this matter If we attract the attention of their experts, ill be doomed”

“Right” Ning and the others all nodded
