It took a long time for Nie Yunfei to subdue all the experts. Once he had, he began to consider what to do with them.
According to his original plan, he had to let a small number of these experts go, so they could return and infiltrate the enemy.
Since they had chosen to make an enemy of the Six Absolutes Divine Sect, they had to be on their guard. With a few spies in place, dealing with those factions would be much easier in the future.
Selecting the right experts was an art, too. They had to choose people who could be planted in key positions, where they would be of the greatest help to the Six Absolutes Divine Sect.
The experts from Wuyi Sect were easy to deal with; they could all be sent back. But they had to consider carefully what to do with the experts from the other eight factions.
After five days of deliberation, they had selected the experts to send back from the other seven factions, excluding the Ling family.
They had chosen only a small number, but each held an important position.
Of course, they also picked a few additional experts to disguise the real purpose.
In any case, they were sending back only about a tenth of each faction's experts.
There was no need to release too many just to use as spies.
The Ling family's experts gave Nie Yunfei a real headache, especially Ling Batian.
It would be hard to justify keeping Ling Batian. If the Six Absolutes Divine Sect could even hold on to experts at the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal level, wouldn't the ones who escaped have reason to suspect something?
But sending a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal back as a spy seemed like a terrible waste.
