Public Execution, Quasi-Dao Soldiers Approaching the Great Dao
"My Lord, we did not harm any other races. They attacked us first, leaving us no choice but to resort to this tactic."
Tianxue Liuli cupped her hands and addressed the leading demon god.
This demon is named the Baleful Demon, a divine general of the True Demon Palace, whose status and strength are even higher than that of the Blood Moon Demon God.
She knew perfectly well that the reason why the major clans dared to attack the Snow Heaven Clan was because the True Demon Palace was behind it.
Therefore, the fact that the True Demon Palace jumped out to demand punishment as soon as the major clans died clearly indicates that it had been plotting for a long time, waiting for this opportunity to put the Snow Heaven Clan to death.
These demons wanted to eat people, but they had to come up with a plausible excuse because of the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
"Heh... The facts are right in front of you, and you still want to argue? They have entered the register of my Mysterious Heaven Realm and received protection; they are a truly meritorious clan."
For your own selfish desires, you actually killed them! According to the rules of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, your Snow Heaven Clan will be punished with extermination, and anyone connected to you will not escape death!
The Baleful Demon coldly shouted, his face contorted with a chilling ferocity, like an ancient demon god staring intently at his worshippers.
"Injustice! My lord, they attacked us first! Are we not even allowed to fight back?"
"The other party has actively provoked us, seeking to annihilate my Snow Heaven Clan. This is a fact that is as clear as day and night. As a divine general of the Divine Hall, Your Excellency is surely able to investigate this matter thoroughly and seek justice for my Snow Heaven Clan."
Tianxue Yaochen spoke with shrewd calculation, his whole demeanor exuding righteousness, intending to use this method to make the Baleful Demon too embarrassed to cause trouble.
The idea was good, but he overlooked one thing: demons don't care about morality.
After hearing his words, the Baleful Demon grinned maliciously and said, "Stop arguing! No matter what you say, even if the other side is in the wrong first, you can't kill them all."
My Mysterious Heaven Realm is a place that values rules. You could have reported to the Divine Hall and requested justice. Taking action without authorization is a grave taboo.
Today, no matter how you try to deny it, you cannot change the fact that you committed murder. All of you, come back with us and await your fate."
A grand and majestic demonic sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A group of demons, filled with murderous intent, had already begun to seal off this area.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. This was a serious matter; they were going to take them all away.
Tianxue Liuli had fallen silent; her last hope had been shattered. It was impossible to expect these demons to uphold justice.
The other party is trying every means to find an excuse to send the Snow Heaven Clan away.
"Hmph! I see now. They are determined to kill us and take revenge on Ling Xiao. He killed your divine general, and you couldn't do anything about him, so you're venting your anger on the Snow Heaven Clan."
Tianxue Ji said loudly with a defiant look on her face. Although she was sometimes naive, she was not stupid and immediately guessed what the other party was thinking.
"Outrageous! Utter nonsense! The True Demon Palace is the guardian of order; how could it do such a thing?"
The Baleful Demon roared, and an invisible pressure of will pressed down on Tianxue Ji.
Suddenly, Tianxue Ji was struck dumb, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face turning ashen.
"Take them all back and execute them publicly."
Baleful Demon a wave of his hand, the demonic army behind him sprang into action, howling as they seized every single creature of the Snow Heaven Clan that was breathing.
Seeing this, the goddess Paper Kite, hidden in the shadows, did not make any rash moves. She knew that even if she stepped forward now, it would be of no use.
Soon after, all the creatures of the Snow Heaven Clan were captured.
As a wisp of demonic cloud vanished, only devastation remained.
Soon after, the news spread without causing much of a stir. Even though most people knew that the True Demon Palace was settling a personal score, they didn't react much.
It can only be said that the Snow Heaven Clan was unlucky, becoming the target of the True Demon Palace's venting of anger.
Subsequently, the True Demon Palace announced that it would publicly execute the Snow Heaven Clan.
This is a common practice for the power structure of the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
The Snow Heaven Clan members, who had been brought to the True Demon Palace, awaited this day in despair.
Meanwhile, within the Treasure Realm, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged amidst a torrent of treasure energy, surrounded by numerous magical treasures, cultivating himself and refining these treasures.
[The Snow Heaven Clan is in grave danger and faces imminent annihilation. Please make the following choice, host.]
[Option 1: Expose yourself to go to the rescue, rewarded with one upgrade of your magic weapon.]
[Option Two: Ignore it, remain steadfast, and you will be rewarded with a quasi-Daoist soldier.]
"Huh? System, are you still there?"
The sudden choice caught Ling Xiao off guard. With no activity for so long, he had assumed the system was dead.
Perhaps he'll drain you dry, leaving you with no choice but to be rewarded.
"The Snow Heaven Clan has been captured by the True Demon Palace?"
Ling Xiao looked at the selection and learned the news. The True Demon Palace was more shameless than he had thought. A dignified Divine Hall actually lowered itself to attack the Snow Heaven Clan.
It was obvious that this was because he had killed the Blood Moon Demon God, who was furious and took his anger out on the Snow Heaven Clan.
"System, I choose option one."
Ling Xiao paused for a moment before replying that the rewards for both options were similar, both targeting magical artifacts.
Now that he knows about this, he has no reason to sit idly by.
"System, I want to upgrade the Primordial Cauldron magic weapon once more."
After making his choice, Ling Xiao immediately began using his magic weapon to advance his level.
In fact, logically speaking, he could have chosen a higher-level magic weapon to use this opportunity, but the system isn't stupid.
The highest level a magic weapon can be upgraded to is Quasi-Dao Soldier.
The Primordial Cauldron was Ling Xiao's personal treasure, and they had a deep emotional connection to it.
The current Primordial Cauldron is too weak; it's simply unacceptable without improvements.
[Promotion initiation... Please wait...]
The system received the instruction and immediately took action.
Ling Xiao stood up, gathered his magical treasures, and prepared to set off, but he stopped a moment later.
Next, three avatars, identical to his original body, split off from him.
After these three avatars appeared, they simultaneously cupped their hands to Ling Xiao, changed their appearances, and then turned to leave.
"I will use these three clones to stir up trouble in the True Realm."
Ling Xiao smiled. Sometimes, saving someone doesn't necessarily require going in person. To be on the safe side and ensure greater security, using a clone is also a viable option.
[Ding... Upgrade successful! Congratulations, host! The Primordial Cauldron has been upgraded to a superior-grade quasi-Dao weapon.]
"A high-grade quasi-Dao weapon? It's already extremely close to Great Dao artifact, isn't it?"
Ling Xiao a thought, Primordial Cauldron, which flew around him and exuded an air of intimacy.
The upgraded Primordial Cauldron appears even more magnificent and unfathomable; even a casual tremor can suppress all the heavens and myriad realms.
Go ahead.
Ling Xiao waved his hand lightly, and the Primordial Cauldron flew into the distance and disappeared.
