He Could Have Just Robbed Them

Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "As long as your people are willing to pay a sufficient price, I will let you go."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao Feng Ye's eyes lit up with hope. They were both Spirit Nurturing who had awakened the Phoenix Bloodline.

As long as the soul remains, one can be reborn in the ancestral land.

"We are willing, we are willing."

The three of them spoke almost in unison.

"Very well, then let me see what your people are willing to offer in exchange for your lives."

Ye Beixuan spoke calmly, without a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

The three exchanged glances and then said, "Fellow Daoist, please allow us to discuss this with our clansmen."

"Sure, you can't run away anyway, can you?"

Ye Beixuan toyed with the Sword Jade in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators of the three races.

When everyone saw the Sword Jade in his hand, the fear that had just disappeared surged back into their hearts.

The three quickly reunited with their tribesmen and began to discuss the matter.

A moment later, the three approached Ye Beixuan and said, "We are willing to spend one million spirit stones worth of goods in exchange for our lives."

"Not enough."

Ye Beixuan's tone remained calm, yet it carried an irresistible quality.

"Fellow Daoist, how many do you want?"

Lei Xiao asked tentatively.

He had been beaten so badly that he had no temper left and didn't dare to bargain with Ye Beixuan at all.

If they angered this guy and ended up losing their lives, they would be at a huge loss.

As for the kind of thing in storybooks where someone reveals their identity and says things like, "Try touching me," only a fool would do that. Even if they wanted to settle scores later, now is not the time.

"Offer up most of the treasures you possess, and while you're at it, kill all the subordinates of those two Devil Master and send their demon crystals to me one by one."

hiss...

Upon hearing these words, everyone subconsciously gasped; Ye Beixuan was truly asking for an exorbitant price.

"Good."

Lei Xiao was no longer willing to argue. He had completely lost this trial and could only hope that the other geniuses of his clan could achieve a good ranking.

He turned to the other members of his clan present and said, "Hand over your treasures first."

"Promise."

Although everyone was very unwilling, they dared not resist. After all, Ye Beixuan could have simply taken it, but instead found an excuse to make them give away the treasure.

The cultivators from the other two families, under the watchful eyes of their respective leaders, also took out the treasures from their storage rings.

Ye Beixuan didn't bother to check the storage rings of these guys, but looked at the treasures and spirit stones piled up on the ground like a small mountain.

He was incredibly glad he had brought out several storage rings this time; otherwise, he would have had too many of these things to fit in. It was true that one could obtain more treasures by going out on adventures.

With a wave of his hand, he took two-thirds of the treasure, then said to the Feng Lineage disciples not far away, "The rest can be divided among you all?"

Is this really true?

Several of the Feng Lineage's prodigies asked with delight, this was an unexpected joy for them, and their goodwill towards Ye Beixuan soared.

Feng Yanxiang asked hesitantly, "Brother-in-law, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "If you all feel bad about it, you can supervise the disciples of the three families to wipe out the remaining Devil Race and collect all the demon crystals. Half of them are yours, and the other half can be given to me."

"Such a good thing?"

Feng Yanxiang was so delighted that he blurted it out unconsciously.

"Of course, we've come all this way, we can't just go back empty-handed, can we?"

Ye Beixuan understood the principle that even if he ate meat, he should also give everyone some soup, and he readily agreed.

Feng Yanxiang gave him a thumbs up. "Brother-in-law, I admire you to the core."

The cultivators from the three families felt aggrieved at the sight, but they were powerless against the circumstances. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only do as Ye Beixuan said.

Several miles away, Hong Li watched the scene before him and murmured, "Fellow Daoist Ye's methods and strength are truly rare in this world. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years."

Qing Li said, "Stop lamenting. Let's hurry up and set off to suppress the Devil Creature. This time, we don't have the support of the Fire Phoenix Clan, so getting into the top three won't be easy."

"Um."

Hong Li nodded. Although he had encountered setbacks before, his fighting spirit had been rekindled.

Ye Beixuan had no idea how much shock his sword strike had caused among the younger generation of cultivators in the Desolate Continent.

He stood atop a hill, quietly observing the movements of the three disciples.

The Devil Creature under the command of Golden Flame King and True Crimson King were already terrified. Faced with the overwhelming force of the three Lineage' disciples, their only option was to flee.

Those who run fast will survive, while those who run slow will be turned into magic crystals.

After more than ten hours of fierce fighting, almost all the Devil Creature within a radius of dozens of miles were suppressed.

Ye Beixuan looked at the Devil Creature handed over by the three families and nodded in satisfaction. He then focused his gaze on the remnant souls of Lei Xiao and the other two.

"Remember to watch your eyes next time, or you'll face dire consequences, not only for you but also for your Lineage."

"Promise."

The three of them didn't take Ye Beixuan's last half-sentence to heart. After watching Ye Beixuan and his group leave, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call..."

The three exchanged glances, then returned to their respective Lineage groups. After selecting a suitable successor, they sent their trusted confidants with their bodies and remnants of souls to join the group.

On the other side, Feng Yanxiang asked happily, "Brother-in-law, what are we going to do next?"

Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "Naturally, we need to find a Devil Master at the Half-Saint level and take first place in this trial."

If everyone had heard this earlier, they would have tried their best to stop Ye Beixuan.

But after witnessing that sword strike, for some reason everyone was somewhat expectant that Ye Beixuan's Sword Jade jade strikes could kill a Great Sage.

Feng Yanxiang said, "Brother-in-law, that's a good idea. How about we capture a Devil Creature and have it lead the way?"

Ye Beixuan's eyes lit up, and he gave Feng Yanxiang a thumbs up.

"Third Brother, that's a good idea. However, we've wiped out all the Devil Creature within a radius of dozens of miles. We can only continue westward and try to find a lucky one."

Feng Yanxiang patted his chest and said, "Brother-in-law, leave this matter to us."

"OK."

Ye Beixuan didn't intend to do everything himself; it was time to let these guys contribute, otherwise they wouldn't feel involved at all.

The group continued their journey, and three days later, they discovered a small settlement of Devil Race.

The Feng Lineage members did not rush in rashly; instead, they instinctively turned their gazes to Ye Beixuan...
