“The Immortal Island Ji family is indeed domineering and tyrannical. Now I have truly seen it for myself.”
Ling Xiao said calmly, “Your name is Ji Ying, right? This time the Ji family sent you out to handle this matter because they think highly of you. Do not bring a disaster that could destroy the Immortal Island Ji family! We do not want trouble. We are even willing to accept your investigation to see who exactly attacked your people. Is that still not enough?”
“No!”
Ji Ying rejected Ling Xiao’s question outright. “You look young, but your mind is not stupid. How could you ask such a foolish question?
I already made it very clear just now. Whether you acted or not, you all have to die. Simply because you dared to touch the sacred land of the Immortal Island.
You just said my choice would bring a catastrophe to the sect?
It is utterly ridiculous!
With a bunch of nobodies like you, you actually think you can overthrow the Sacred Dynasty’s Immortal Island?
Giving you the chance to kill yourselves is already showing you respect. Why are you still not acting?”
“Young Master Ying is right. Letting you kill yourselves is already extremely polite. If we have to do it ourselves, not one of you will leave an intact corpse.”
Nan Sha bared a mouthful of white teeth and chuckled.
His face was full of cruel amusement.
To him, killing seemed like a very entertaining game.
“From what you are saying, should we all kneel and thank Young Master Ying for graciously giving us a chance to die with dignity?”
A thick look of mockery appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.
These high and mighty people, what exactly did they think human lives were?
Did they really treat all these martial artists here like mud figures they could mould as they pleased?
Ordering them to commit suicide was actually considered a favour?
It was simply beyond reason.
Ji Ying sneered coldly. “Kid, you sure can talk. Since that is the case, later I will let Nan Sha personally send you to your death. Best if your corpse is torn into pieces and thrown into the lake to feed the fish!
I know you are not convinced, but even if you are not convinced, you have to hold it in. The strong are truth itself. Being unconvinced changes nothing!”
“As for the rest of you, if you want to kill yourselves, do it quickly. I do not have time to wait for you to think it over. Whoever kills themselves, your families can live. If you refuse to kill yourselves, then after we kill you later, none of your family or friends will survive.”
Ji Ying looked at the others and questioned them coldly.
How despicable!
Every martial artist present felt a chill deep in their hearts.
Especially those whose families and friends lived on the Sacred Dynasty’s Immortal Island. They were trembling with fear.
“Zhang Wu chooses to kill himself!”
Finally, someone stepped forward. He slapped his own crown and died miserably on the spot.
“I hope you will treat my family well.”
Another person stepped forward.
Once someone takes the lead in such matters, it seems to become especially easy.
“Even if you kill yourselves, they will not spare your families. Even if they do not kill them, they will make them slaves and servants.”
Ling Xiao’s voice rang out again. “Think carefully about their actions. They would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go. Do you think they will leave your families and friends alive to seek revenge?”
This was something no one had failed to think of.
But at this moment, fear had caused many martial artists to lose the ability to think.
Only when Ling Xiao said these words did they suddenly wake up.
Yes, what meaning was there in dying?
It was better to fight. Perhaps they could still carve out a bright future.
By now, out of the more than ten thousand martial artists, only two or three thousand remained.
Too many had killed themselves. Fortunately Ling Xiao stopped them in time. Otherwise, the Giant Whale Sect would not even need to act. They would probably all be dead.
“Haha, hahahaha. Kid, you are quite clever after all. Too bad it is already too late. If you still had ten thousand people, we might actually feel a bit wary. But now with just over two thousand left, you are nothing to fear.”
Ji Ying burst into loud laughter. “What a bunch of idiots. Did you really think killing yourselves would earn forgiveness? No matter how you die, the end result is the same. We will cut the grass and remove the roots.”
The more than two thousand martial artists trembled with rage upon hearing Ji Ying’s words.
They had been toyed with so thoroughly. It was too tragic.
“Are you not getting happy a bit too early?”
Ling Xiao looked at Ji Ying coldly and said, “Two thousand against your one thousand plus. We still win steadily.”
“Exactly. If all of us join forces, we may not lose to you. Everyone listen up. Killing one is breaking even. Killing two is profit. We absolutely cannot let these bastards get their way.”
The two old men from the volcano were also furious.
The two old men originally lived without conflict with the world. They only wanted to cultivate and seek the path to longevity.
But this time they were dragged into such a calamity, without even a chance to explain.
The others simply did not give them any opportunity.
“Kill!”
All the remaining martial artists echoed the cry. Their voices shook the sky.
Ji Ying’s face became even colder. Amid the coldness, there was also a trace of disdain.
“Did you hear that, Nan Sha? They want to wipe us all out. Tell them about your strength.”
“Yes, Young Master Ying!”
With that, including Nan Sha, the more than a thousand Giant Whale Sect martial artists fully released their auras.
“How can there be so many Cave Heaven realm martial artists!”
The two old men from the volcano frowned tightly. They looked at the Giant Whale Sect people in shock.
Ling Xiao also frowned.
Logically, this was not normal. Among these more than a thousand people, nearly five hundred were Cave Heaven realm martial artists.
Although four hundred of them were only at the first Cave Heaven realm.
Even so, this number was far too high.
This was just an ordinary sect on the Sacred Dynasty’s Immortal Island.
Could this be the strength of the five immortal islands?
It was too terrifying. Were Cave Heaven realm martial artists as common as Heavenly Human realm martial artists on the Divine Phoenix Continent?
Of course, the most terrifying were the three top leaders of the Giant Whale Sect.
The second in command, vice sect master Nan Sha, a seventh Cave Heaven realm martial artist.
The third in command, sixth Cave Heaven realm martial artist.
The fourth in command, sixth Cave Heaven realm martial artist.
Besides them, the Giant Whale Sect also had ten Giant Whale Knights, all fourth Cave Heaven realm martial artists.
Although Nan Xiong had died, nine still remained, and they were all here.
The remaining second and third Cave Heaven realm martial artists numbered close to a hundred.
This scale was truly horrifying.
“Listen up. Today we will play a hunting game. Kill one Heavenly Human realm martial artist and get ten Sacred Dynasty merit points. Kill one Cave Heaven realm martial artist and get one hundred Sacred Dynasty merit points!”
Ji Ying revealed a ferocious grin and then announced loudly.
Although Ling Xiao did not know what Sacred Dynasty merit points were, he could guess.
It was probably similar to sect contribution points. They could definitely be exchanged for rewards from the Immortal Island Ji family.
Hearing Ji Ying’s words, all the Giant Whale Sect martial artists howled with excitement.
They were clearly thrilled.
Killing these ants and still getting Sacred Dynasty merit points. This was simply too blissful.
Fortunately the sect master had left the Immortal Island for a major matter and gone to the Divine Phoenix Continent. Otherwise, how could such a good opportunity fall to them?
After all, their sect master was far too strong.
