The mysterious presence in the Central Continent
Zhao Yuxian wasn't exactly a great philanthropist either.
Of course, he didn't intend to kill all the defectors, but rather the management, including even the lowest-ranking members.
As for those Disciples, I couldn't be bothered with them.
After all, there were so many Disciples of the Shangyun Sect before, and he wasn't some vicious butcher; there was no need for him to exterminate them all.
After speaking in one breath, Zhao Yuxian felt exhausted. He had actually put a lot of effort into the sect, and now that things had turned out this way, he felt a strange sadness in his heart.
As the Ancestor of the sect, he Disciple within the sect like his own children.
How could one not feel upset when faced with something like this?
The remaining Elder were all core Elder within the sect, possessing formidable strength. They were all stunned upon hearing these words.
The Great Elder couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, isn't this a bad idea? Although those people betrayed the sect, they still have value. Why not bring them back and keep them to maintain the sect's development? We can gradually weed them out later."
The other Elder nodded silently, clearly agreeing with the plan.
Although betrayal is shameful, Shangyun Sect will definitely need to develop vigorously in the future, and will require a lot of manpower.
Zhao Yuxian said firmly, "No need. From now on, I Shangyun Sect the Cloud Sect to focus on cultivation. The number of Disciple is useless to me."
This...
The others wanted to say something, but seeing Zhao Yuxian's expression, they kept quiet and didn't say anything more.
After that, Zhao Yuxian decided not to take on many Disciples and would focus on her cultivation.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuxian turned to the distance, her face filled with a chilling killing intent.
"Wuya Sect Master, Quanzhen Sect, where do you two wish to go?"
The two Sect Master abruptly stopped in their retreat. Wuya Sect Master's face showed a hint of fear. He hadn't known much about Zhao Yuxian's strength before, but after the previous battle, he had a general understanding of it.
Anyway, killing them both will definitely not be a problem.
The key issue is that Zhao Yuxian has a terrifyingly powerful backer, which is what frightens them the most.
"Senior Zhao, we were both deceived by Li Lie. Please be Senior, I am willing to pay any price."
The Wuya Sect Master hurriedly cupped his hands and begged, hoping that today's matter could be let go.
Zhao Yuxian seemed to have already made his decision. He said in a chilling voice, "It's simple. You two, open your Divine Soul. After I imprint my Soul Imprint on you, you can leave."
"Of course, you can also choose to fight me, and then we'll see who's the best."
As soon as he finished speaking, terrifying auras erupted from within the Shangyun Sect.
Their Shangyun Sect was already stronger than the two major sects. Apart from Li Qing, whom Su Chen killed at the beginning, they also had four Immortal King level experts.
The Shangyun Sect was a cultivator close to the Mid Immortal King. The two Sect Masters were filled with regret, wishing they hadn't gotten involved in this mess, now finding themselves in a dilemma.
Running away doesn't guarantee escape, and fighting offers even less hope. Although Zhao Yuxian is injured, the aura he releases is not significantly different from before.
Moreover, there are also a group of powerful figures from the Shangyun Sect.
Although their two sects also have other Immortal King, there are only one or two of them. How could they possibly compete with the Shangyun Sect?
However, if their souls were marked with Soul Imprint, they would be enslaved from then on. As Immortal King, they certainly had that much backbone. Unless it was a situation where they were certain to die, they would definitely not agree to such a request.
Zhao Yuxian sneered. He knew what the two were thinking. However, of the thirty-six stratagems, winning hearts and minds was the best, and it didn't necessarily have to be done through actual combat.
"You two, by coming to destroy my Shangyun Sect today, you have forged a deadly enmity with me. Even if you escape now, you will surely die once I break through to the Immortal Lord."
"If you are willing to Submission to me, I can Great Dao oath I will grant you the position of sect Dharma Protector, and I will not exploit you or treat you as slaves."
The main reason he acted this way was that he had indeed been injured before, and killing those two wouldn't have been easy.
It would be better to subdue them. Then their Divine Soul would be under my control, and I wouldn't have to worry about them betraying me. At least that would be much better than those traitors within the sect.
Their expressions were uncertain; they certainly didn't want to be dependent on others, but they seemed to be facing a difficult choice.
Should they run away directly, or give in to Zhao Yuxian?
Escaping is too risky. The powerful figure who killed Li Lie earlier might still be around, and a casual strike from him could kill them both.
Moreover, if the two of them really wanted to escape, at most one of them could get away, and there's a high probability that neither of them would escape.
The other Immortal King from the two major sects had already retreated far away, showing no intention of offering any assistance whatsoever.
Damn it!
Every sect has its traitors who are afraid of death, and they are no exception. Faced with such a crisis, no one wants to get involved and lose their life.
The two exchanged a glance, and finally sighed helplessly.
"That's enough."
With that, the two of them knelt down on one knee before Zhao Yuxian.
"We two are willing to Submission, we only hope that Senior Zhao will keep his promise."
Zhao Yuxian made Heavenly Dao Oath, and then engraved a mark on the Divine Soul of the two people, thus bringing this matter to a close.
Afterwards, he sent the two men with the Shangyun Sect to take down the Sky Splitting Sect and bring back all the usable resources within the sect.
Zhao Yuxian felt that he had made some mistakes in the development direction of the Shangyun Sect. In the past, he always thought about constantly expanding, just like Li Lie's mentality, to make the overall strength of the sect stronger.
But upon closer reflection, what use are these people?
When things are going well, with him in charge, they follow him around arrogantly. But when trouble comes, they run away faster than anyone else.
Including such unreliable Disciple in the sect will not serve any purpose; it will only consume more of the sect's resources.
Since that's the case, why not give these resources to those who are loyal to the sect? Even if their talent is lacking, at least these people won't run away when the sect faces a crisis.
Central Continent.
Su Chen and the others crossed over, and he once again extended his Divine Sense to sense the aura, hoping to catch it again. However, no matter how Su Chen searched, he could not find any trace of it.
Eccentric.
What exactly is it?
He had determined his direction and had even arrived in the Central Continent, but his presence had completely vanished.
"Xiao Tian, go down. Don't use the body of Demon Beast anymore."
Xiao Tian was the name Su Chen had just given him. The name Heavenly Monarch was acceptable to outsiders, but if he were to be called Qiongqi Heavenly Monarch, wouldn't that mess up the order of importance?
Xiao Tian plummeted downwards and then crashed to the ground. Fortunately, there was no one around, so they were unaware of the situation.
Although Central Continent is the territory of the Human Race, its vast size has given rise to many Demon Beasts, though these Demon Beasts are generally not very powerful.
