Chi Xue and the others had not expected there to be so many Heavenly Slaves, including so many powerful ones.

Although this operation had claimed one Heavenly Slave, he had only been at the seventh quasi-sage rank. As far as they were concerned, the operation had yielded almost nothing.
Thinking that killing all the Heavenly Slaves would take at least more than a hundred thousand years, if not longer, Chi Xue and the others grew solemn.
