Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Let Them Go
"I found Mu Yuxi trapped and was kind enough to rescue her, but she mistook me for Xi Junchang. The moment I broke the seal restricting her, she suddenly tried to kill me. I tried to explain over and over, but she refused to believe me, which infuriated me. Since she was so convinced I had malicious, even lecherous, intentions, I figured I might as well act the part. Isn’t that exactly what she wanted?"
"After that, I ran into Xi Junchang. He tried to kill me on sight, so naturally, I didn’t hold back!"
"Then, when I got to the Hell Demon Gate region, something even more ridiculous happened. As the ’Kunpeng Divine Son,’ it was bad enough that the members of the Golden-winged Roc Clan didn’t help me, but that Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties actually demanded I kneel and apologize to Bai Changyi. So they could ’leave my corpse intact’? I burst out laughing on the spot..."
Ye Tianling didn’t hide much, giving a general account of some of his past experiences.
Ye Tianling then added sarcastically, "All you beings of the Ten Thousand Races who look down on Human Race Cultivators, thinking of them as nothing more than lowly slaves... you never stop to think, do you? You consider yourselves so incomparably noble, yet I’ve crushed you in every aspect. And after you suffer a loss, a bunch of old fossils jump out to demand justice. Isn’t that laughable? I, Ye Tianling, am embarrassed for you!" freēwēbnovel.com
"You’re full of shit! Who the hell do you think you are, daring to be so disrespectful to the Emperors and Clan Leaders?"
A disciple from the Great Xia Royal Family couldn’t stand it any longer and furiously rebuked him.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Do you have any right to speak here?"
Ye Tianling’s gaze sharpened, and the murderous intent of the Samadhi Celestial Fire manifested in his eyes.
CHHSS—
The terrifying Samadhi Celestial Fire Aura seemed to manifest directly within that Great Xia Royal Family disciple’s soul.
He shuddered, his face turned deathly pale, and he barely managed to swallow the mouthful of blood that rose in his throat.
He immediately shut his mouth and retreated several steps, not daring to speak out of turn again.
But the look in his eyes was filled with extraordinary hatred.
This scene caused the expressions of the many experts present to become quite colorful.
"The status of the Human Race may not be high, but they are also the Guardians and Inheritors of this World. Without the myriad spirits of the Human Race, there would be no growth for the Small Worlds. Every member of the Ten Thousand Spirits had a childhood. If you believe children are lowly and adults are noble, then you can just pretend I, Zhuge Wuxu, never said a thing."
Zhuge Wuxu’s words cast an even deeper silence over the scene.
"It is perfectly normal for there to be winners and losers when the younger generation clashes. My descendant, Teng Chuanxing, had his arm and leg severed, roasted, and eaten by Ye Tianling, yet Ye Tianling spared his life. Not only did I not seek retribution, but I even praised Ye Tianling’s actions! Why? Because this is a clash between juniors, a natural process of the strong surviving and the weak being eliminated!
If you can’t even handle that, then what’s the point of coming out to pursue Cultivation? You might as well go back to your Ancestral Lands and stay in Seclusion forever! Even then, a divine punishment or a Celestial Tribulation could fall from the sky and strike you dead!"
the Celestial Serpent King said at this moment.
"I see it the same way. The grievances between the younger generation should be settled by their own abilities. However, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl of my Golden-winged Roc Clan... I must ask you, Kunpeng Divine Son... Celestial Secret Divine Son, to please release them."
The Elder Roc King shot Ye Tianling a meaningful look, his tone sincere.
"Originally... the plan was to teach this Ye Tianling a lesson. But since he is the Celestial Secret Divine Son, and also from a Venerable power of the Primordial Era, his status is equal to ours... Then this matter is not difficult to resolve. I hope the Celestial Secret God Master will have our clan’s Prince released."
At this time, Li Wancang of the Cang Mountain Soul Race also spoke up.
At the same time, he even bowed to the Celestial Secret God Master.
He knew he couldn’t win a fight and was already at a disadvantage.
Ye Tianling had already explained the matter very clearly. Qianyue, who had been with Li Rushan, was not captured precisely because Qianyue hadn’t attacked.
This showed that Ye Tianling was definitely the type who wouldn’t attack unless provoked.
To keep clinging to this issue now would only make others look down on them—as sore losers!
"Tianling, let them go,"
Zhuge Wuxu said in a low voice.
Then, he gave Ye Tianling a deep look, and a complex message manifested in his eyes via the art of the Celestial Secret Soul Dao.
With his profound foundation, Ye Tianling understood the message instantly.
’Tianling, many of those you’ve suppressed this time are true core Inheritors. Their races’ legacies are at stake. If you don’t release them, we won’t be able to leave. I’ve already found some information about the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave. Your priority should be to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave and obtain the opportunities within—I’ve deduced that it will be the key place for your next rise to power.
Furthermore, I am no match for all of them here. I’ve already suffered a backlash from using the Sacred Artifact. Right now, I’m just using the Celestial Secret Dao to shield some abnormalities, so they can’t see the truth for the time being.
Once they do, I’m afraid none of us will be able to escape.
Besides, those core Inheritors have extremely resilient Life Charts. If you try to kill them by force, I’m afraid it might trigger changes similar to what happened with Ye Cangqian’s fate, causing a chain of disasters.
I know the dao you cultivate is one of forging ahead bravely, of being invincible and unrivaled. But right now, for the sake of a greater opportunity, you should release these captives.
You suppressed them once; you can certainly suppress them again and again in the future.
Give them some leeway this time, and these old fossils will be more restrained in the future. They won’t deliberately target you. It’s just as the Great Dao is fifty, but heaven’s plan is forty-nine—even the Celestial Dao leaves a sliver of a chance...’
Zhuge Wuxu understood Ye Tianling all too well. He knew Ye Tianling was the kind of ruthless person who would rather be a shattered jade than an intact roof tile—he would never back down.
That was why he had sent such a long message—all to persuade Ye Tianling.
What he didn’t know was that Ye Tianling had already agreed the moment he mentioned that the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave was the real priority.
It wasn’t that he was backing down. Rather, he had already planted the Tianshu Ancient Town inside those he had suppressed.
Once these people were released, they would absolutely become like slaves to him in the future!
The Tianshu Ancient Town would gradually erode their minds, turning them into geniuses who were like Puppets yet possessed independent consciousness.
The only difference was that, deep in their hearts, they would harbor a core of loyalty to Ye Tianling.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill.
"Fine. This time, I’ll consider it giving face to the Celestial Secret God Master."
Ye Tianling said lightly.
With that, a bloody light flashed between his eyebrows, and he first released the utterly wretched Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties.
BOOM—
That bloody light, like a wave of the Power of Destruction, exploded in the void.
The ground shook, and then Yao Qiye and Nine Demon Beauties appeared.
They were in a wretched state, but they had clearly recovered a fair bit and were not particularly weak.
The moment they appeared, the two of them lunged at Ye Tianling to kill him without a moment’s hesitation.
WENG—
Yao Qiye unleashed a reserved killing technique, suffused with Ancestral Dao Killing Intent.
