"Sir, Senior, everything can be discussed!"

Feeling Ling Tianwei's gaze, and seeing Yan Shan—whose strength had been roughly equal to his own—fall before him, Elder Xie Ku had utterly panicked.

In his view, since Ling Tianwei had not casually killed him just now, there had to be a reason. He immediately hurriedly begged for mercy.

Seeing Elder Xie Ku beg, Ling Tianwei gave him a once-over.

Ling Tianwei had not spared Elder Xie Ku for any particular reason. As a disciple of a righteous sacred land, now that he had seen an Evil Cultivator condensing the souls of others like this, it would have been inexcusable not to save them.

Besides, Ling Tianwei had previously been thinking of obtaining some secret arts targeting Divine Souls to deal with these demonic cultivators. Clearly, this Elder Xie Ku had some skill in that regard.

"Hand over your banner, and tell me how to command these Divine Souls."

Ling Tianwei extended his hand before Elder Xie Ku and spoke directly.

Smack...

Without even a moment's hesitation, Elder Xie Ku set down the Evil Soul Banner in his hand and said to Ling Tianwei.

"I have already removed the restrictions on this Evil Soul Banner. You may use it at any time, sir."

"This is the Yin Soul Soul-Refining Art I cultivate. It can command all kinds of Fierce Ghosts and evil souls, refine all kinds of evil ghosts, and refine souls."

Elder Xie Ku was exceedingly sensible. Understanding Ling Tianwei's intentions, he directly handed over his cultivation method. At this moment, how could he care about anything else? He only wanted to stay alive.

The longer one lived, the more one feared death. He could still enjoy life. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, wherever he went, would he not be treated as an honored guest?

Seeing Elder Xie Ku being so cooperative, Ling Tianwei walked up to him. He casually flipped through the Evil Soul Banner and the cultivation method Elder Xie Ku practiced, then picked up the banner.

The instant he touched it, Ling Tianwei sensed the dense Resentment Force within the Evil Soul Banner, along with all manner of souls shrieking viciously inside.

With a single glance, Ling Tianwei could tell that many of these souls had been transformed from innocent living beings. He could also see just how grave Elder Xie Ku's sins were!

However, Ling Tianwei now had an excellent idea. Killing these demonic cultivators and Evil Cultivators would be letting them off too easily.

For beings like them, their Divine Souls should be extracted and subjected to every conceivable torment.

"You are very good. I said it before: you are wrapped in sin, wicked beyond measure, and should be executed."

"So enter my banner!"

Ling Tianwei raised the Evil Soul Banner and, without hesitation, released all manner of Resentment Force, resentful thoughts, and spiritual power from his body, beginning to command the refined evil souls within.

"You... have no martial virtue."

Elder Xie Ku's expression changed drastically at those words, and he could not help pointing at Ling Tianwei as he shouted.

"You expect martial virtue when dealing with Evil Cultivators and demonic cultivators like you?"

"Enter my banner!"

"Serve under my command, and let me help lessen some of your sins!"

Ling Tianwei felt nothing upon hearing Elder Xie Ku say that. Virtue or no virtue—Ling Tianwei had always only spoken of it to good people. As for these people? When they preyed on others, the strong were supreme and the weak being oppressed was only natural. Back then, if they said they would exterminate an entire household, they exterminated it—without speaking of virtue either! Yet when it came down upon their own heads, they demanded that others show it.

With a wave of his hand, Ling Tianwei ignored Elder Xie Ku's struggles and directly used the Prison Heaven Divine Ability, Golden Core suppression, and Heavenly Absolute Yin Fiend annihilation.

This time, however, Ling Tianwei held back slightly. After all, he still needed their souls!

"Go! Let those with grudges take their revenge. See those people wrapped in sin? Bring them into the banner."

Ling Tianwei waved the Evil Soul Banner once more.

Terrifying yin qi and Evil Qi completely shrouded Panshan City. Then, all kinds of evil souls and Fierce Ghosts were commanded to point toward the Panshan City below.

At this moment, the demonic cultivators and various other cultivators below had also witnessed the deaths of two Nascent Soul Cultivators.

On top of that, smoke billowed from Ling Tianwei's entire body, his demonic aura reaching the heavens. Add to that the Golden Core constantly circling overhead, as well as the great formation that completely sealed off the outside world.

Under Ling Tianwei's command, evil souls and Fierce Ghosts filled the skies, twisting around each other and shrieking as they dove straight at the cultivators below.

Naturally, Ling Tianwei had not forgotten to have these Fierce Ghosts and evil souls target certain specific people.

After all, there were still many ordinary people in Panshan City!

Bolstered by the freakishly immense Resentment Force on Ling Tianwei's body, the power of these evil souls and Fierce Ghosts doubled.

Most importantly, Li Tianwei was not at all afraid of losing control due to commanding too many Fierce Ghosts and evil souls. He released their power as much as possible—after all, who could be more evil than Li Tianwei?

Yet in Li Tianwei's view, he was filled with the Righteous Law. Under his radiance, whatever evil souls or Fierce Ghosts there were all had to obey his commands. Evil? Where was the evil in that?

Fierce Ghosts and evil souls blotted out the sky as they swooped down savagely, crashing in like a tidal wave.

Behind them followed the terrifying Golden Core commanded by Li Tianwei. The moment they encountered resistance, the Golden Core directly descended to suppress it.

"No..."

The various cultivators and demonic cultivators in Panshan City below had never expected that the slaughter of ordinary households they had once committed to satisfy their own cultivation would one day come down upon their own heads.

Facing these terrifying evil souls and Fierce Ghosts, could they resist? Could they withstand them?

"Don't!"

"Sir, sir, I was wrong..."

"Do we demonic cultivators deserve to die? Aren't you covered in Resentment Force too?"

"Don't! Sir, I'm a disciple of Baiyuan Sacred Land! It's a righteous sacred land too!"

Voice after voice cried out without end, but sadly, they could not stop it in the slightest.

As for some ordinary people, when they saw the evil souls and Fierce Ghosts covering the sky as they approached, they were not as frantic and despairing as those demonic cultivators. Instead, they closed their eyes and awaited death. In their eyes, it was merely release.

At this moment, the full spectrum of life played out below. These immortal cultivators who had turned into demonic cultivators seemed not so different from ordinary people after all.

When the Fierce Ghosts and evil souls bypassed the ordinary people, only then did they realize that they were not the targets.

Of course, some demonic cultivators tried to use these ordinary people as shields. Their fate was clear enough—who could deceive Li Tianwei's eyes?

"Enter my banner!"

Blood dyed more than half of Panshan City red. Fierce Ghosts and evil souls tore apart countless cultivators, seized their Divine Souls, and dragged them into the Evil Soul Banner.

Li Tianwei directly began refining them into the Evil Soul Banner.

Watching those demonic cultivators struggle in agony, Li Tianwei could not help but sigh.

"Alas, pain is only a momentary thing."

"You are covered in sin. Once you enter my banner, I'll take you to kill demonic cultivators and Evil Demons, to fight for merit for the world. That way, you can lessen the sins upon you. Isn't that good?"

"So? Come in obediently!"

"I truly am greatly benevolent. They committed so many wrongs, yet I still think of them. Once they enter the soul banner, they can even accumulate merit and lessen their sins."

Li Tianwei declared that he truly was a righteous figure. Others would simply make them suffer soul destruction, while he still left them a soul behind.

"This is great benevolence indeed."

Li Tianwei only wanted to say that when people saw such conduct, who would not call it greatly benevolent?

Meanwhile, Panshan City below had fallen into a hellish scene. After all, every evil soul and Fierce Ghost within the Evil Soul Banner had suffered endless torment and endured every kind of refining pain.

It could be said that no one understood how to torture people better than they did.

Yet under the absolute pressure of Li Tianwei's might, these evil souls and Fierce Ghosts only attacked those demonic cultivators and Evil Demons.

At this moment, it truly was as Liu Qi had once said: this place was the Eighteen Layers of Hell. And now, Li Tianwei had imposed the torments of hell upon these demonic cultivators.

Countless screams echoed without end as evil souls and Fierce Ghosts tore and devoured everything.

Inside the great hall at the center of Panshan City, Qin Yueying had not acted due to her caution, instead sending Elder Xie Ku and Yan Shan to test Li Tianwei first.

She had never expected things to reach such a point.

Li Tianwei had truly come to massacre the city.

Most terrifying of all were Li Tianwei's inexhaustible methods, Divine Abilities, bizarre Golden Core, powerful spells, and that state of unity between heaven and man...

Every one of them showed how extraordinary he was.

"No, he must be dealt with. Otherwise, he will definitely become a grave threat to us Evil Demons. He has not yet fully grown—perhaps I can do this."

Qin Yueying seemed to have thought of something.
