Chapter 241 It Is More Worth It To Kill The Witness
Ye Qingcang nodded. “It is rare that a young man like you managed to think of so many ways to profit.
“Never mind. It’s a deal.
“The treasures offered by the prodigies as bets will be split evenly between Shen Tian and . The other profits will go to your sacred ground.”
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader nodded. “But I would like to bring sothing to everyone’s attention.
“Unless absolutely necessary, it is best not to spread the news that Tian’er is the owner of the God of War Pagoda.”
The old Taoist priest stared at him. “Why?”
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus as if he was a simple-minded fool.
He said mildly, “The reason is very simple. A man can be ruined by his own wealth because of others’ greed. Tian’er is not powerful enough now.
“If others know that the God of War Pagoda belongs to Tian’er, they might think he is not good enough and plot against him to steal the pagoda
“Moreover, there are many politics and nefarious power struggles between the sacred grounds, so not everyone would be pleased that our sect may flourish.
“The God of War Pagoda is one of the most powerful treasures.
“If others know that it belongs to Tian’er now, they might take a risk and try to kill him.
“If Tian’er falls, the God of War Pagoda will probably leave this world.”
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader might have already transcended all human emotions and desires, but he still understood the evilest intentions other cultivators might have.
After all, the cultivation world was a dog-eat-dog world.
In fact, the higher one’s position was, all the more the laws of the jungle would apply to them.
Quite a number of people would hold secret nefarious intentions against the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground!
If they revealed the identity of the true owner of the God of War Pagoda, it might bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to Shen Tian. Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was enlightened. “Oh! So you are saying that he might be assassinated if others know the God of War Pagoda belongs to him? Haha, in that case, how much are you willing to pay to keep my mouth shut?”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus revealed an evil smile.
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and his heavenly aura swayed. “I think that killing the witness would be more worth it!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, “???”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, “!!!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus tried to explain himself. “Junior Brother, don’t misunderstand . I was just joking, just trying to lighten up the mood. I was born and grew up in the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground. I will remain loyal to it to my death. I would never take advantage of my ho! After all, I still have a reputation to upkeep!”
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader studied Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus for several seconds as if trying to decide whether to believe his words.
After a long ti, the Divine Firmant Sacred Leader nodded reluctantly. “Since you say so, you can eat another Forgetting Pill later. In order to secure this secret for the sacred ground, you will have to forget what happened today!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, “...”
Eat another pill? No way! Do you think I am a hypochondriac!?
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader looked at Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance. “Junior Sisters, please also help keep this a secret. Don’t spread this information.”
A new thought popped into his head, so he added, “Especially Junior Sister White Lotus. Please don’t let Yunfeng suspect anything.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus replied resolutely, “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will keep my lips sealed!”
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader finally relaxed. He turned and looked at the Evil Spirit sect mbers.
These fellows knew of Shen Tian’s secret, but he was not worried as they would never get to spread this information.
The Evil Spirit Sect and the sacred grounds were mortal enemies. Any Evil Spirit sect mber the sacred grounds encountered would be imdiately imprisoned for life at the very least.
Most of them would be killed after a harsh interrogation, like this red-robed Sect Master. As one of the leaders of his sect, he must have committed countless sins to have reached the Saint stage.
If any other sacred ground had captured him, he would have already died. Being captured by the sacred grounds was no different than the death sentence.
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader said, “The trial has ended. To avoid alerting the others, we will not spread the news about the Evil Spirit Sect.”
He continued calmly. “I will bring these Evil Spirit Sect mbers back to the sacred ground for interrogation. Junior Sisters, please help round up this trial. The Eastern Wilderness has enjoyed peace for too long. Perhaps it is ti to clear out these rats.”
The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura vibrated. His voice was mild, but everyone could feel the imnse power he exuded.
It was like heavenly punishnt! The Divine Firmant Sacred Leader grabbed Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and stepped into the void, heading back toward the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground.
anwhile, Shen Tian followed Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance back to sect town. Eunuch Gui and the rest heaved a great sigh of relief upon seeing those three return.
“Your Highness, you are finally back. I was so worried.”
“Brother Shen, are you alright? Did you get injured?”
“Brother Shen, I knew that you would make it back in one piece! You are a lucky fellow after all!”
“Master Heavens’ teleportation went wrong this ti. You must have encountered another great fortuitous opportunity! Congratulations, Master Heavens!”
“Master Heavens, we have been searching high and low for you this entire ti you went missing. You had us worried to death!”
“We were all so worried about you! Luckily you are fine!”
Shen Tian’s heart grew warm upon hearing his friends’ heartfelt words.
He smiled. “I am sorry for making you guys worry.”
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance smiled. “No harm done. It’s just a teleportation gone wrong. We are just glad you are fine.
“Now that everyone is back, the elders of the various sects will calculate the disciples’ points. “The final result of this trial will be announced in an hour’s ti. Martial Nephew Shen Tian, please hand over the soulless creatures you have killed. You can take a rest then.”
This joint training, held once every five years, was also an opportunity for the various sects to hunt for soulless creatures.
The bones, blood, and dark energy of these soulless creatures could be refined and used by the cultivators.
Of course, the sect would not just swallow up all the disciples’ hard-earned gains.
The sects would buy those treasures from the disciples at market price. They would even give them rewards.
Shen Tian nodded. He started to dump out all the bones from his Archeon Sea Ring.
Countless skeletons exuding powerful auras appeared before Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
A Golden Core Bone Demon’s skeleton!
Blood Essence Pearl from a Golden Core Blood Demon!
A Golden Core Bone Demon’s skeleton!
The head of a Golden Core Fiendish Demon!
Another Golden Core Bone Demon’s skeleton!
The aura radiating from the remains of every single soulless creature was quite formidable. Even Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus were stunned.
It must be pointed out that in the Primordial Battlefield, the cultivation levels of all visitors would be suppressed to the Foundation Establishnt stage. Under such circumstances, it was already considered a great achievent if one could kill a Golden Core undead creature.
But Shen Tian... He had killed several hundreds of such creatures!?
Wow!
Are you sure these are really Golden Core undead creatures and not just random weeds he plucked from the roadside?
Following that, Shen Tian poured out several sparkling red pearls from his Archeon Sea Ring.
Nascent Soul Blood Essence Pearls!
One, two, three, four, five! Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus were both thunderstruck by the ti the fifth pearl appeared.
These pearls might be just Nascent Soul ones, but they possessed a power that was far beyond that. They would have a major effect even on Heavenly Venerables.
How did Shen Tian manage to kill five Nascent Soul Blood Demons in the Primordial Battlefield?
He is only at the Foundation Establishnt stage but managed to overco two levels to kill five Nascent Soul level demons!?
The two female Heavenly Venerables gazed at Shen Tian. They suddenly understood why the God of War Pagoda had acknowledged him as its owner.
Their little martial nephew was the true supre prodigy!
Other prodigies were nothing compared to him!
