My Master Knows It All

I can guarantee that as long as they choose to stay here, we will definitely not take them away.”

Elder Hei Xun’s brows furrowed deeply. This Cao Zhen really had a good hand. If he truly sent Cultivators to the Human Clan to ask those mortals whether they wanted to enter the Central Continent, first of all it would waste quite a few Cultivators, and if some Humans actually agreed, then bringing those Humans to the Central Continent brought them no benefit at all. On the contrary, they would be helping the Human Clan filter out clansmen who might become traitors.

As for what Cao Zhen and the others had said about giving those mortals the right to choose, there was no need to even think about it: the majority of the Human Clan would definitely agree.

But Cao Zhen had already spoken to this extent, so he couldn’t very well refuse. After all, the Fourth Prince had also said that the Emperor had decreed that peace between the various clans must be maintained. That was the greater direction. The Fourth Prince had been commissioned to come unite the various clans and establish a new order, and the first thing he had to guarantee was the stability of this general environment. If even stability couldn’t be maintained, then no matter how much else the Fourth Prince did, or how correctly he did it, it would all be useless!

As things stood, he could only agree.

Fortunately, he had already notified those Human traitors; they should already have forcibly taken away quite a few mortals.

”In that case, let us go ask those mortals. However, we first need to wait for a while. After all, if we are to question the mortals here, aside from Sect Leader Cao and you all, we also need those Humans who stayed in our Central Continent, namely Immortal Lord Xu Wang and the others, to go together and ask where the mortals here truly wish to stay. Only that would be more fair. What does Sect Leader Cao think?”

”Naturally.” Cao Zhen nodded heavily. At the mention of Immortal Lord Xu Wang and the others, a chill flashed across his face. These were traitors who had defected at the critical moment!

Elder Hei Xun turned his head to look at a Sky Clan cultivator behind him and said, ”Go, inform Immortal Lord Xu Wang and the others to go out together with Sect Leader Cao and the others to ask those Humans whether they wish to stay here or go to the Human Clan’s Four Continents.

He could of course directly notify Immortal Lord Xu Wang and the others; the reason he said this was to have his subordinate stall for a bit of time.

Central Continent, territory under Sky Clan control.

Disciples from each of the new Four Great Doctrines were going out one after another, heading toward various Human villages.

Sun Family Village, an utterly ordinary little village.

It was presently midday. In the peaceful village, cooking smoke curled up; the villagers were living their lives as calmly as on any other day.

Suddenly, three figures descended from the Void.

In the village, the gazes of resting villagers and playing children all fell at once on these few Cultivators.

Several children even showed obvious excitement, shouting loudly.

”They flew down from the sky!”

”They can fly, they’re Immortals!”

”I finally saw Immortals. I want to become an Immortal in the future too!”

The old folks all revealed joy as well. They had only heard the village’s schoolteacher say that Immortals existed.

As for where that schoolteacher had learned of it, it was said to be from a very ancient text.

They had even suspected whether what that schoolteacher said was true or not.

Yet now, they had truly seen the existence of Immortals.

But why did these Immortals look a bit cold and cruel?

The three Cultivators who had descended each had a cold gaze and a fierce expression.

They landed straight in the center of the village.

”Enough nonsense, just grab them and go.”

As Immortal Lord Xu Yi’s words fell, he waved toward the Void above his head, and a Flying Boat immediately appeared in everyone’s sight.

At his left and right, his two junior brothers in the Immortality Regainment Realm, upon hearing this, didn’t hesitate in the slightest. They raised their hands and grabbed toward the people in front of them.

In an instant, two giant hand Xu Ying manifestations appeared in the Void. These mortals, who were still in a state of joy at seeing Immortals, didn’t even have time to react before they were seized by the giant hand Xu Ying and then casually tossed straight into the Flying Boat.

At this moment, villagers who had heard the commotion outside, whether opening their doors or standing in their own courtyards, happened to see this scene. For a time, the villagers all cried out.

”This is bad, they’re catching people!”

”Quick, close the doors!”

”Closing the doors is useless, run, hurry and run!”

In an instant, cries of alarm shattered the village’s tranquility.

”Damn it, for this Immortal to come to your village is your honor, and you still want to run? Still want to close your doors!”

Immortal Lord Xu Yi snorted coldly. A streak of black light shot from his hand, and the black light suddenly spread in the Void, turning into strands of dotted lines that flew toward every courtyard. In an instant, courtyards exploded one after another, the closed doors blowing apart as well. Broken earth and wood chips flew everywhere, slamming into the villagers.

In short order, some villagers’ foreheads were smashed open, and there were even unlucky ones whose legs were directly broken by large falling beams.

Wails of pain echoed without end.

Yet there was not the slightest trace of guilt on Immortal Lord Xu Yi’s face. He raised his hand and grabbed forward, and a Heaven-shrouding giant hand Xu Ying appeared.

At once, one villager after another, whether injured or not, was thrown en masse into the Flying Boat behind him.

”Th-they’re still catching people!”

”Why? Why are they catching us? They’re taking people without saying a word!”
