As soon as he sent his consciousness into the storage treasure, Xue Ying immediately laid eyes upon countless shelves filled to the brim with pots and vases. Other than that, he saw all sorts of weird treasures and materials, and he also found a few Deity crystals faith stones. In addition, there were a large number of scrolls placed within, as well as other random goods piling up into mountains. A stage three World Deity who lived for several billion years like Venomous Ying had accumulated quite a large mass of treasures indeed.

It only makes sense that she would have so many many pots and vases on her, as an expert in hexing poison. I’ve long since heard that her skill with hexing poisons is formidable; there’s no chance I’ll ever give her the opportunity to make use of it, Xue Ying thought. The Venomous Ying World Deity indeed specialized in using hexing poison, but in the previous fight, Xue Ying had already arranged for his personal guard to protect his children and the rest. At the same time, he was personally able to completely resist any hexing poison that had spread through the void.

The more formidable a hexing poison, the harder it was to spread. Venomous Ying’s most formidable hexing poison was the one which she spread through her poisonous trident, but with Xue Ying’s extra nine bodies and ten spears attacking her together, she did not get any chance to use it.

With so many treasures and materials, there’s bound to be some precious stuff here. I’ll have to thoroughly check everything, Xue Ying thought.

“Father,” Dong Bo Yu shouted from the side. His eyes glimmered with excitement. The scene he saw on that day made him truly worship his father, especially after seeing his body expand to a towering size of several tens of millions of kilometers! It must be stated that the Xia Clan World was only about five million kilometers wide in total, a size that Xue Ying could easily reach with his Time Immemorial Body. In truth, that size couldn’t even be considered much. Someone who succeeded in training the Time Immemorial Body to its absolute limit would see their body become a real Time Immemorial Body, and a single finger of such a being would be a few times bigger than what Xue Ying had just shown.

But Dong Bo Yu was just a Deity, and he had spent the majority of his time in the Xia Clan World or the inner world of Crimson Rock Mountain. Because of this, his knowledge of the World Deity realm was rather shallow.

“Yu’er, is there a problem?” Xue Ying looked to his son.

“Father, I was hoping you might teach me a few things once we return to the official residence,” Dong Bo Yu replied.

Xue Ying laughed. “You brat, whenever I told you to cultivate until now, you were always so lazy. It’s such a rare thing so see you take the initiative and ask me to teach you.” What Xue Ying did not know was that after he revealed such an earth-shattering technique on that day, his son actually awakened to some lofty aspirations.

“Your Highness, Your Highness.”

Commander Bai Li Shang tore through the void to arrive in front of him all the way from the distance. His absolute respect was visible in spite of the tan covering his face. It was the sort of respect coming directly from his inner heart. “We have confirmed that the million Deities who were responsible for collecting faith energy within the Nest of Myriad Devils are all dead.”

“They’re really dead?” Xue Ying was startled. He had thought that Venomous Ying would have merely moved them to various other places, but he didn’t consider that she would really kill them all.

“Truly?” Xue Ying wanted to make sure.

“I can’t be 100% sure because the Venomous Ying World Deity only went through with the deed after obscuring the space time continuum,” Commander Bai Li Shang replied. “However, I’ve already ordered my men to question everyone and have received some information that many of lower ranking members of the Nest of Myriad Devils were not aware. Only the higher echelon World Deities knew of this: on the very day after Your Highness took on the position of supervisor envoy, Venomous Ying summoned all of those million Deities to her palace. After the doors to the palace went shut, none of those Deities were ever seen again!”

Xue Ying’s expression turned ashen-gray.

This Venomous Ying really was amazing—amazingly ruthless, that was.

Right on the day after he took on the position of supervisor envoy? Wasn’t that the same day when Ying Gu Liang had come to offer an apology? It seemed like as soon as the attempt at reconciliation failed, the Venomous Ying World Deity immediately killed all million of those people! She had destroyed every last strand of evidence.

That’s not right. How could it be that all those Deities just happened to be at the Nest of Myriad Devils at the same time? Xue Ying pondered. I’m afraid that, the very moment she heard that I became teacher’s personal disciple, she would have already summoned all of those subordinates and ordered them to stay within the Nest of Myriad Devils so that she could eliminate them at any time.

She only had to give the word for all of them to be killed. Xue Ying’s eyes turned icy. That is some ruthless behaviour indeed.

Xue Ying himself was also decisive when it came to killing people, but he would never so willfully slaughter innocent people. There were experts out there who had slaughtered weaker lifeforms because of the impact from their techniques, without even realizing it, but those people had not schemed to specifically massacre them. The Venomous Ying World Deity, on the other hand, had no qualms with killing all the Deities! As soon as she heard that the apology failed, she had immediately eliminated all of them.

Anyone who was not loyal to her had to be killed, leaving only death behind as evidence.
