"White Bone Cave? Ever since their First Rank Land Immortal passed away, the Divine Guard Office has cracked down hard on them. They've already been torn apart."
"Some of White Bone Cave's experts chose to submit to the Great Dream Dynasty and guard the Abyssal Beast Cavern, doing nothing but thankless work."
"The remaining White Bone Cave disciples naturally couldn't be allowed to sit around eating and draining the Great Dream Dynasty's resources. They were all killed."
Ji Tianming spoke with a hint of self-mockery:
"Tomorrow, I have to take the other three deputy hall masters to the Abyssal Beast Cavern to do that thankless work too."
Yang Ling inwardly drew a sharp breath.
The Great Dream Dynasty truly was ruthless when it moved against first-rate sects.
It sent their experts to the Abyssal Beast Cavern as free labor and felt no loss if they died, since those experts had never used the Great Dream Dynasty's cultivation resources.
Killing the remaining ordinary disciples outright also made it easier to prevent a sect from rising again.
"The reason sects are powerful is that the disciples who join them are all carefully selected from countless candidates.
The sects spend enormous amounts of manpower, resources, and money in the process.
By snuffing those disciples out in the cradle, you can truly sever a sect's roots.
That's how they treated the Crimson-Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect back then too."
Deep wariness rose in Yang Ling's heart.
Clearly, this method had never failed the Great Dream Dynasty.
Yang Ling asked, "Sworn Brother, do you know Zhu Xiu and Luo Wendao?"
Ji Tianming's expression shifted.
"Those two are also remnants of White Bone Cave. They didn't surrender, and no one knows where they fled.
