Chen Ping looked at the demon race cultivators kneeling on the ground. His eyes showed no trace of pity.
These demon race cultivators had committed countless evils. Their hands were stained with the blood of human and beast race cultivators. Today was their day of reckoning!
“Spare you?”
Chen Ping said coldly. “You have enslaved human and beast race cultivators for a hundred years. You have caused the deaths of countless innocent lives! Do you think you still have the right to live in this world?”
Mo Tianxiong hurriedly said, “Immortal Venerable, we know we were wrong! We are willing to compensate! We are willing to offer all the immortal stones to the Immortal Venerable! Please spare our lives!”
“Immortal stones?” Chen Ping said disdainfully. “In my eyes, those things are worth nothing!”
Mo Tianxiong said again, “Immortal Venerable, we also know the secrets of Yun Miao Immortal Venerable! We can tell you! Please spare our lives!”
Hearing the secrets of Yun Miao Immortal Venerable, a flicker of interest passed through Chen Ping’s eyes.
He indeed wanted to know why this Yun Miao Immortal Venerable had the demon race cultivators refine spirit stones into immortal stones.
Thus, Chen Ping said, “Oh? What secrets of Yun Miao Immortal Venerable do you know? Tell me. If the secrets you tell are valuable, I might consider sparing your lives.”
Mo Tianxiong hurriedly said, “Immortal Venerable, the reason Yun Miao Immortal Venerable had us refine spirit stones into immortal stones is because the place he is from has scarce resources. It needs a large amount of immortal stones!
Moreover, he seems to have been instructed by someone. That is why he came to our small world!”
“Instructed by someone?”
Chen Ping frowned. “You mean there is a force behind him?”
Mo Tianxiong nodded. “That is right, but we do not know exactly what force it is. However, we often saw him sighing in frustration. His demands on us have become increasingly strict. He requires more and more immortal stones!”
“Probably the tasks assigned to him are getting heavier. So he imposes them on us.”
Chen Ping pondered for a moment. It seemed the force behind this Yun Miao Immortal Venerable was not small. They even knew the skill of refining spirit stones into immortal stones.
In this way, they could send out large numbers of personnel to those lower-level spirit energy worlds. They could then enslave the local cultivators, mine spirit stones, and refine them into immortal stones.
“Then where is he now?” Chen Ping asked.
Mo Tianxiong said, “I do not know exactly where he is. He only appears occasionally at our Mo Shi Sect. Each time he appears, he takes away a large amount of immortal stones. The most recent appearance was a month ago.”
“In this Yuan De Realm, there are over a thousand such mining sites. I do not know which mining site Yun Miao Immortal Venerable will appear at specifically.”
Chen Ping nodded. It seemed finding this Yun Miao Immortal Venerable would take some time.
“Alright, you have told your secrets.”
Chen Ping said indifferently. “Now, you can go and die!”
Mo Tianxiong’s face changed drastically. “Immortal Venerable, did you not say that if the secrets we told were valuable, you would spare our lives?”
“I did say that.”
Chen Ping said. “But your secrets have no value to me. So, you should still go and die!”
With that, Chen Ping waved his hand lightly.
A flash of golden light passed. All the kneeling demon race cultivators instantly turned to ashes. They vanished without a trace.
Li Qingshan and the others saw this scene. They felt great satisfaction in their hearts.
They had finally escaped the enslavement of the demon race cultivators. They had regained their freedom!
“Thank you, Immortal Venerable! Thank you, Immortal Venerable!” Li Qingshan and the others kowtowed repeatedly to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping waved his hand. “No need for formalities, everyone. I merely did what I should have done.”
Li Qingshan stood up. He looked at Chen Ping with eyes full of gratitude. “Immortal Venerable, we will never forget your great kindness! From now on, we are willing to follow the Immortal Venerable and serve him!”
