Why spare the Nascent Soul?
“You demon!”
The Sect Master of the Demon Gate’s eyes bulged as an explosive shout shook heaven and earth!
He had only delivered a few accusations when his fleshly body was destroyed!
Although they from the Demon Gate were all demon cultivators, this wasn’t reasonable, was it?
Who really was the demon cultivator? One who destroys bodies without negotiation.
From his tone, it was clear that it was for some reason that the Nascent Soul was spared, otherwise, it might have already been scattered to the winds.
“Bastard! To actually destroy the fleshly body of my Demon Gate’s Sect Master!”
More than ten Tribulation Loose Immortals from the Demon Gate swiftly advanced, one among them, a nine-tribulations Tribulation Loose Immortal, bellowed, “This person must be an evil cultivator! Killing without blinking an eye, we cannot let him live!”
“Everyone has seen it, those few from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect have slain so many Loose Immortals from the Artifact Sect, and at least tens of thousands of regular disciples were affected by the aftermath. Such brutality, truly a demon!” one individual roared.
Those ten-plus figures landed behind the Nascent Soul of the Demon Gate’s Sect Master, staring at Li Cheng with furious eyes.
Despite their anger, they did not dare to act. After all, they were extremely wary of Li Cheng’s combat strength.
“Three friends from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, for this matter, I’m afraid you owe everyone an explanation!”
“That’s right, relying on your powerful strength to act so brutally, the Kunlun Realm cannot tolerate demons like you!”
“Such extreme cruelty, it outrages both humans and gods…”
Thousands of meters away, the various major powers were also denouncing them, and everyone’s expressions had become fierce.
Zhuo Bu’er once again bowed deeply, weeping as he pleaded, “Our Artifact Sect thanks everyone once again. The atrocities of these three are there for all to see; please, everyone, stand up for our Artifact Sect!”
The surviving elders of the Artifact Sect also flew up, tears streaming down their faces as they bowed deeply, almost to the point of kneeling.
“Sect Master Zhuo, rest assured, this is no longer just a matter for your Artifact Sect, but for the entire Southern Domain!” the nine-tribulations Tribulation Loose Immortal from the Demon Gate said indifferently.
Li Cheng flicked his finger and a sword light howled forth. The nine-tribulations Sect Master didn’t even have the chance to react before his fleshly body was blasted to pieces.
This scene caused everyone to widen their eyes in shock.
Just as the crowd was about to explode, Li Cheng scoffed, “During this period, haven’t many sects and powers received mysterious invitations to destroy my Heavenly Mechanism Sect?”
As these words were spoken, the complexions of many changed slightly.
Li Cheng placed his hands behind him and continued, “Zhuo Bu’er, your Artifact Sect wants to destroy my Heavenly Mechanism Sect in order to swallow this tripod, what a good scheme you’ve devised!”
Zhuo Bu’er’s face changed, “Slander! Our Artifact Sect has absolutely no designs on the Astonished God Tripod, you… are making things up!”
“The Astonished God Tripod? The tripod of Qi Jingshen, the Immortal World’s number one artifact refining master?”
Feng Wanli’s voice rang out, his figure appearing amidst the throng as the momentum of a Complete Heavenly Immortal surged forth.
Li Cheng frowned, “Why are you stirring up trouble here?”
This old fellow, he just had to reveal the identity of the Astonished God Tripod; really made him want to kick him twice.
Feng Wanli chuckled, then his expression turned solemn, “So, it’s for the Astonished God Tripod. This precious artifact tripod belongs to Qi Jingshen, roping in various powers to destroy the Heavenly Mechanism Sect without anyone knowing that the tripod is in your Artifact Sect’s hands, what a good scheme indeed!”
As these words were spoken, the scene immediately erupted into an uproar!
So it turned out that the Artifact Sect were the ones secretly rallying various powers. They did this to quietly obtain the premiere artifact refining master’s Astonished God Tripod!
“No wonder, so it was the Artifact Sect who approached us. Thankfully we didn’t agree, otherwise we would have been unwittingly marrying off our daughter!”
“No wonder the three elders from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect caused such a stir in the Artifact Sect, so they discovered the truth!”
“All caused by greed, the Artifact Sect really had it coming!”
The direction of the wind changed in an instant!
The people of the Artifact Sect’s complexions all changed dramatically, it was over!
Li Cheng, annoyed, glanced at Feng Wanli before turning his gaze to the people of the Demon Gate, “Your Demon Gate is the only one among the ten great sects that agreed, so now you understand why, don’t you?”
The palm-sized Nascent Soul of the Sect Master of the Demon Gate quickly bowed, speaking in terror, “Elder, please spare my life. I agreed to this, and I alone should bear the responsibility. If you wish to kill or dismember me, I have no complaints, just please do not involve the Demon Gate!”
“You said that you represented the Demon Gate,” Li Cheng said indifferently.
This statement caused the Loose Immortals of the Demon Gate to change their expressions as well.
Could it be that they, the Demon Gate, were also unable to escape this fate, with all the Loose Immortals of the Artifact Sect having been killed by the three individuals from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?
The Sect Master of the Demon Gate fiercely slapped himself, his voice trembling with fear, “It was I who was blinded by the conditions offered by the Artifact Sect. I realize my mistake now, please, Elder, spare the Demon Gate for not having caused any harm to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect yet. 1 am willing to do anything to make amends!”
“Sect Master, our Demon Gate has always acted with a clear conscience, why beg him? If it’s a big deal, we’ll simply die!”
“Shut your mouth!”
The Sect Master of the Demon Gate bellowed, not beg? If he were alone, dying would be the end of it, but he had the vast Demon Gate behind him!
Li Cheng paid no attention to the people from the Demon Gate and looked towards Zhuo Bu’er, “Who else has agreed?”
Zhuo Bu’er shook his head, “You are powerful, whatever you say goes. Continue to unjustly accuse my Artifact Sect as you please!”
Li Cheng sneered, and with a casual grasp in the air, he instantly pulled seven Transcendence Tribulation Stage powerhouses out from the crowd!
When he asked which forces had agreed, the seven individuals all changed complexion, unable to escape the detection of Li Cheng’s Spiritual Sense!
“Spare our lives, Elder! My Looking Immortal Sect only wanted a share of the spoils. We never actually contributed any effort. After all, how could a small force like ours dare to act against your esteemed sect?”
“Elder, spare our lives, my Water Moon Sect only has two Loose Immortals that have crossed one tribulation, we agreed because the Artifact Sect said we would get our hands on some Breakthrough Pills and Rising Yuan Pills. The Water Moon Sect will not dare to do such a thing ever again…”
“Elder…”
The seven individuals were begging nonstop.
Li Cheng scanned the crowd, “Who else? Step forward on your own!”
These seven lacked mental fortitude, a simple question startled them into revealing their flaws, but Li Cheng believed there were definitely those with stronger mental composure, remaining calm as usual, not letting him see any flaws.
“Sigh!”
An elder sighed and walked out of the crowd into the air, “Elder Li is an Alchemy Dao master, surely not one to kill indiscriminately. I am the Pavilion Master of Star Rain Pavilion and have also agreed. Please, Master Li, forgive me!”
“I have also agreed, please Master Li, forgive me!”
In an instant, seven representatives from various forces stepped forward.
Li Cheng merely scanned them and then disregarded them, his gaze returning to Zhuo Bu’er, “You have quite the capability to win over so many forces. If you remain obstinate, 1 will have to ask this Immortal Elder to search your soul!”
Hm?
Feng Wanli was taken aback, was he being implicated here?
Searching the soul was a taboo technique, certainly not to be used openly!
Why not search it yourself?
Was this guy getting back at him for revealing the connection between the Astonished God Tripod and Qi Jingshen earlier?
But if he didn’t say it, how could he appease the furious crowd?
Zhuo Bu’er slowly raised his head, “I’ve said it before, you can unjustly accuse my Artifact Sect, and I am powerless to stop you!”
“But… this Sect Master will not admit it!”
As his voice fell, Li Cheng distinctly sensed that Zhuo Bu’er’s Nascent Soul was expanding!
“Thinking of self-destructing? You overestimate yourself!”
The Sword Path Rules that were suppressing Zhuo Bu’er’s Nascent Soul slightly stirred, pinning it down.
Zhuo Bu’er’s complexion changed; he couldn’t even self-destruct?
In that case, wasn’t he about to face the soul-searching by this Heavenly Immortal?
No!
That wouldn’t do; once his soul was searched, there would be no denying it, and then, the Artifact Sect would be finished!
However, at that moment, Li Cheng’s gaze had already shifted to Feng Wanli, who spoke indifferently, “Please help search the soul!”
Feng Wanli touched his nose helplessly, not even a ‘please’? How rude! But that wasn’t the point; the point was that such an action, if spread, would damage his reputation!
He knew it, Li Cheng was doing it on purpose!
Suddenly, Feng Wanli’s eyes lit up with an idea..
