Xiao Jietian walked towards White Heavenly Venerate. His footsteps fell on the bluestone slabs, making soft sounds, but in White Heavenly Venerate's ears, each step was like a drumbeat urging him toward death.
At this moment, White Heavenly Venerate had long lost his initial arrogance. His entire face was ashen.
"Only you are left." Xiao Jietian looked down at White Heavenly Venerate at his feet. His lips moved slightly as a voice transmission entered the man's ear.
Then Xiao Jietian pointed a finger at his head. A finger-light pierced through his skull, causing his soul to scatter completely.
White Heavenly Venerate's remaining expression held horror, complexity, and a hint of realization.
Xiao Jietian had told him that Blood River Heavenly Venerate had been killed by him long ago.
After dealing with the Hall of Souls people, Xiao Jietian stood in the void, looking at everyone in the square.
These people felt numb under Xiao Jietian's gaze. One must know that in front of a Half-Saint, even if all the people in the square attacked together, they would at most only make the Half-Saint's breathing slightly heavier after they all died.
Many people secretly swallowed their saliva, and a hint of deathly fear quietly crept into their hearts.
"I solved the Hall of Souls for you. Isn't that equivalent to saving your lives?" Xiao Jietian scrutinized the crowd below.
"That's right! Lord is mighty and domineering!"
"Thank you, Lord, for saving my life. I'll kowtow to you."
"As long as Lord speaks, we can do anything. I know many positions…"
"…"
For a time, the people in the square all prostrated themselves on the ground, constantly flattering him. Some bolder ones even hinted explicitly and implicitly.
"Hui Ying, those enchanting sluts are seducing your master. Aren't you going to state your position?" Tang Huo'er asked Xiao Huiying when she saw those overly flirtatious women.
"No need. Master's taste has always been very high. He won't fancy these." Xiao Huiying glanced at the women in the square. Although the best-looking one had about seven parts beauty, compared to herself and Little Fairy Doctor, the gap was like a chasm.
Not to mention comparing them to them—even compared to Yue Mei, Hua She'er, and Xiao Jietian's former mentor in Eternal Heaven World (now an Elder of Boundless Heaven Hall and the theoretical tutor for Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng, Ruo Lin)—they were all a long way off.
"What? You're also interested in my master?" Xiao Huiying turned her head to look at Tang Huo'er beside her, appraising her up and down. She was indeed a beauty of a similar rank to Han Yue and Hu Jia.
Her legs were straight and slender, her skin fair, and her flame-element clothing highlighted her explosive figure.
She had an oval face, perfectly proportioned features, and bright fiery red hair tied high, with golden ornaments on her forehead, adding a touch of heroism.
"Me, interested in him? What a joke." Tang Huo'er's face immediately flushed red, and she jumped up six feet high. "I, Tang Huo'er, the future successor of Burning Flame Valley—men! They will only delay my cultivation and the speed of my sword."
"Look, you're getting agitated again. I was just saying." Xiao Huiying pressed down on Tang Huo'er, whose ears were as red as her hair…
"You don't need to do that. Just leave a treasure as a token of gratitude for my kindness." Xiao Jietian said with a smile, looking at the people below.
Suddenly, the crowd below fell silent—terrifyingly so.
"What? Unwilling? Then after you die, your things will also be mine." Xiao Jietian looked at the people below and said coldly.
The pressure that had been relaxed a little was increased again. The crowd, who had just been slightly relaxed from escaping death, instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
They also instantly realized: Oh right, just giving one item can preserve all our other possessions and our lives. This is simply a huge profit!
We should even thank him.
"Lord, please loosen your aura. I can't reach my storage ring to take out my things." A man at Xiao Jietian's feet spoke with difficulty.
"Oh, I was careless." Xiao Jietian directly withdrew all his aura. As for whether anyone would run, he didn't think there would be anyone that foolish.
For a time, over twenty thousand people in the square all took out their treasures and held them high in their hands.
"Lord, I am willing to offer you a piece of millennium cold iron."
"Lord, this is a Dragon Scale Fruit I accidentally obtained."
"This is my family's heirloom Golden Scale Armor, which can withstand an attack from a Dou Zun."
For a time, many people held up various items in their hands, afraid that Xiao Jietian wouldn't hear them and would call them out later.
The scene also became increasingly noisy.
"This is the most important thing on me. I stole it after much thought."
"This is my favorite specially made undergarment, and it's freshly taken off—original scent."
"Lord, my wife is my most precious possession. She said to offer her to you."
…
Xiao Jietian saw many strange things, and even a very majestic-looking purple stick appeared, making him covered in black lines for a moment.
"I want proper treasures. Put away all your weird stuff!"
After Xiao Jietian's warning, those who had taken out various strange items hurriedly put them away and replaced them with other treasures.
Xiao Jietian scanned them, and after not seeing those strange things, he waved his hand and collected all the items into the system space.
"Alright, you all can leave the square." Xiao Jietian waved his hand. He hadn't intended to kill these people anyway. With them, he could spread the news, draw hatred for the Hall of Souls, and even stand on the moral high ground in the future to point fingers.
Hearing Xiao Jietian's words, many people's eyes lit up. They caught the key point from his words, which was to leave the square, not to leave the ruins…
"Tian Ge, you've struck it rich—a huge fortune in one go. As expected, robbery is the easiest way to get rich." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Jietian with envy. Tens of thousands of treasures—just thinking about it made him drool.
"What robbery? They gave these willingly. I didn't rob them. Don't talk nonsense, don't slander me." Xiao Jietian unceremoniously slapped Xiao Yan on the head.
One should hit one's younger brother early and effectively.
"Alright, there's nothing left here. Let's go out."
…
After bidding farewell to Valley Master Tang Zhen and his group, Xiao Jietian glanced at Tang Huo'er, who was standing behind Xiao Huiying. He didn't know what benefits Tang Huo'er had given Xiao Huiying that she actually asked him to let her stay.
Xiao Jietian did not refuse Xiao Huiying's request. After all, his own Little Dragon Girl and Qing Lin were the two who listened to him the most and studied the most diligently. Every time he taught a new knowledge point, they were the quickest to act.
After all, 'students' who love to learn are more likely to gain the 'teacher's' favor.
Moreover, by keeping Tang Huo'er, he might be able to have someone brainwash her. At that time, he might be able to persuade Burning Flame Valley to merge into Boundless Heaven Hall.
Burning Flame Valley and his Xiao Family also had many connections.
Xiao Jietian waved his hand, and the people in front of him disappeared from their original spot, entering Eternal Heaven World.
Upon entering Eternal Heaven World, Xiao Jietian, Xiao Yan, and the others all showed confused, shocked, and even bewildered expressions.
The few of them exchanged glances. Is this still Eternal Heaven World?
