Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2485 Execution
Although there were four people sharing one cave, everyone was still very happy... at least the trip wasn't a complete waste, right?
In fact, if we do a little calculation, if divided equally, each person would have at least two portions of auspiciousness.

The temporary custody of this cave dwelling is entrusted to... Qu Zhenzun.

In fact, apart from Song Yue'er, all three of them are powerful True Venerables, and Song True Venerable herself is no less formidable.

However, Qingkong couldn't afford to provoke the combined forces of those two, and Han Li seemed indifferent.

How to handle the shares that Qu Jianlei owes to the two people is a matter for the future, and there is no need to discuss it in detail now.

After dealing with this matter, Qingkong suddenly remembered, "Where is Teng Xi's cave dwelling?"

Seeing Han Li's gaze, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Han Li countered, "We haven't killed many True Venerables of the Human Race, so we don't have much experience. How come you didn't think of that?"

"Killing a True Venerable of the Human Race requires experience?" True Venerable Qingkong's eyes widened instantly. "What are you talking about?"

"You're making a fuss over nothing," Han Li sneered. "The two of us have killed at least sixty True Venerables!"

Qu Jianlei gave him a speechless look: I've killed almost forty of them, haven't I?

"That's... a True Venerable of an alien race!" Although Qingkong was stunned for a moment, he still realized what was going on.

After killing sixty human True Venerables, how many of Houde's people would be left?

As for the alien races, that's much easier to say. Cultivators generally believe that the combat power of alien race True Venerables is inferior to that of human race Immortal Venerables.

It's hard to say how this understanding came about, but without a doubt, it's a consensus among cultivators.

The key point is that killing a true venerable of another race is an honor, but killing a human immortal venerable... as long as there is a sufficient reason, killing one or two is also acceptable!

However, if there are too many True Venerables of the Killer Clan, then this flavor will be off.

The True Venerable Qingkong instantly realized, "So Teng Xi's cave dwelling... might still be there?"

Han Li coughed lightly, "This... calm down, it's quite a distance to Houde from here."

“This place is quite far from the Asura World,” Song Yue’er couldn’t bear it any longer. “I contributed a lot to that battle!”

Han Li rolled her eyes at her, "Are you sure Teng Xi has a cave dwelling?"

"Well, there should be... right?" Song Yue'er hadn't really considered this question, but, "He's so old."

At the very least, he must be a True Venerable who is very close to dying of old age, yet he doesn't even have a cave dwelling?
"Does being old mean you should have everything?" Qingkong couldn't stand hearing that.

The three he faced were all new-generation True Venerables, with the oldest, Song Yue'er, being less than half his age.

"Even at my age now, I don't own a Jiuyou Island. Is that my problem?"

Both Jiuyou Island and Minning Dojo are hidden in the subspace layer and rarely show themselves.

However, the former not only has all the advantages of a dojo, but also moves quickly and is convenient for both offense and defense, so there is a difference in quality.

"What's yours will always be yours," Han Li said calmly. "There's no use rushing it. Shall the three of us return to the other world?"

Despite her usual dignified and imposing demeanor, Song Zhenzun is actually just a little girl who is over two thousand years old.

Even Zhen Zun, who helped her mother with her pregnancy, dared to call her Song Xiaoya, which shows her true nature.

Anyway, if she were to stubbornly go back to Houde alone, she would absolutely not go back.

So the four of them spent another six months returning to the Tree Clan world.

Interestingly, Qu Jianlei caught a glimpse of the Unworthy True Venerable from afar at the camp at the entrance to the world.

I saw him too, and without saying a word, I tore open a space and left, not returning for a long time.

A year later, Ji Xiaohua, the patriarch of the Ji family, was seriously injured. The cultivator team he belonged to was escorted back by the Star-Burning Venerable Rajan.

Deaths and injuries are inevitable in wars in other worlds, but the Ji family, which has a history of tens of thousands of years, only has this one Nascent Soul cultivator, which immediately increased the pressure on the family.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaohua is on good terms with Qu Jianlei, the newly promoted True Venerable of Cangwu, so there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term. At least he can focus on recovering from his injuries.

Two years later, Master Yulin of the Book Pavilion obtained an opportunity and directly borrowed the cave of Master Qu Zhen to cultivate in seclusion and absorb knowledge.

However, this did not prevent Qu Jianlei from carrying his cave dwelling and occasionally going out to hunt in the wild.

Opportunities in other worlds are indeed decreasing, but since it's about conquest, there's no need to overthink when acquiring other resources.

Qu Zhenzun's income continues to increase steadily, even without considering the share of management fees.

Three years later, Ling Yun confirmed and announced the news that Han Li and Qu Zhenzun had killed and plundered Zhenzun, and even gave them a certain reward.

The message was intended to reassure the public, but its release inevitably caused a sensation.

Some people were concerned that a true venerable from the outside world was actually robbing people in the void without any regard for dignity, while others sighed that a celestial venerable had finally fallen.

Ling Yun did not release any details, but since the news spread, the Unworthy True Venerable has not shown his face in the camp again.

Two years later, when Master Yulin emerged from seclusion, the first case of murder and robbery during the invasion of the other world occurred.

It may not have happened before, but it is impossible to verify. This time, some survivors escaped and ran to the camp to plead their case.

When the Venerable Wenxian went to handle the matter, he discovered that someone was obscuring the secrets of heaven.

His divination skills were lacking, and he was too lazy to bother with them, so he simply issued a threat.

"It seems that my senses are being blocked so much that another True Venerable needs to take over the task."

Among the five, although he was a grandmaster of array formations, he was the easiest to deal with, while Jin Ge and Min Ning were both from the Lingyun faction.

As for Han Li or Qu Zhenzun... I'll just ask you four words: who do you hope will come?

The one obscuring the heavenly secrets on the opposite side was also a True Venerable—there was no other way; he couldn't ignore the things his subordinates had done, could he?

Sensing the threat posed by Wen Xian, this man immediately backed down: I was just making a gesture to show my subordinates.

You don't need to arrest anyone. I'll just dispose of the person, take out the body and compensation. How does that sound?
Generally speaking, when similar problems arise during raids on other worlds, if it's not due to scattered, disorganized forces, the main solution lies in the self-discipline of major powers.

In the realm of virtue, the self-discipline of powerful forces is certainly crucial, but the order there is relatively sound, and the methods of handling such cases are relatively strict.

If the major powers are left to resolve the issue on their own, sooner or later, a situation of "self-punishment" will emerge.

But in another world, things are different; no one wants to waste their precious time.

Even the Five True Venerables, who were in charge of overall order, would occasionally take time to go out and hunt in the wild.

So, wouldn't the other cultivators responsible for maintaining order want to try their luck and find an opportunity?
The Venerable One's request was not excessive, but Wenxian, being a rogue cultivator, understood the potential troubles that could result from mishandling it.

He stated bluntly: You should be glad that I handled this matter; it would have been difficult to say what would have happened if it had been someone else.

Especially Han Li and Qu Zhenzun, given your initial attitude, they might have dragged you into it too.

So this matter can be left to you to handle, but if you have other ideas, well... good luck to you.

Fortunately, his warning was not in vain; this true master carried out the purge very thoroughly.

It wasn't that he was cowardly; Han Li was already extremely difficult to deal with, and Qu Zhenzun was an even more ruthless killing god.

These two had recently killed the human True Venerables from another world, and he had no connection with them.

The key point is that Wen Xian warned him first, so he didn't even have a chance to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Moreover, given the temperaments of those two, even without a warning, they probably wouldn't allow him to play dumb.

After this matter was resolved, another ten years passed before Qu Jianlei and Han Li came for the third time.

Four or five years later, professional raiding teams emerged, and such situations were inevitable when they attacked other worlds.

Ultimately, people die for money and birds die for food; where there are huge profits, no amount of crackdown can have an effect.

However, this situation usually means that the period of high profits from conquering other worlds has passed.

The era of treasures everywhere is over. Now is the time to seize the opportunity and grab a wave of riches while the harvest is still plentiful.

Otherwise, if we wait until the profit margin is low or even negligible, only slightly better than in the Houde Realm, then even robbery won't be worthwhile.

In response to this situation, the five True Venerables launched a crackdown, with the cooperation of many of their own people and Lingyun disciples.

Similarly, at this stage, cultivators' income is not as good as before, so they also need to do some serious work.

The methods employed by the five True Venerables were exceptionally cruel, even resorting to the method of collective punishment.

The crackdown lasted for quite some time and had a noticeable effect, but it could not be eradicated.

With the people's will as firm as iron and the law as relentless as a furnace, it is indeed quite difficult to eliminate certain profit-driven behaviors.

On this day, Min Ning captured a raiding team of more than 20 people, including three Nascent Soul cultivators and the rest Golden Core cultivators.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators were sworn brothers. The eldest and second eldest were quite old, with the eldest being over 1,700 years old.

When the eldest brother arrived in the other world, he was already 1,700 years old. At that age, breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage was out of the question.

However, such people usually pass the screening easily because they are not afraid of death and can still make a final brilliant move.

If someone were 1,800 years old, they would be rejected without hesitation, because they wouldn't be able to exert themselves much anymore and would only cause trouble.

This person ultimately chose to plunder because he wanted to do one last thing for his family, and he was very stubborn and unafraid of the consequences.

Min Ning could have killed most of the group, leaving only two alive to take their statements.

However, he brought it back specifically and even sought out Qu Jianlei to discuss the execution of the sentence.

He had sensed a fairly good opportunity, but then he received a last-minute notice to deal with a raiding party.

By the time Min Ning finished dealing with the matter, the opportunity had vanished without a trace, which left him with a lingering sense of unease.

This time, he specifically captured someone and brought them back, hoping that Qu Zhenzun would use his supernatural powers to execute them.

—Don't you feel like your days are numbered? Why not let your age be gradually washed away by time in front of everyone?

Especially since this person has three juniors in this team, Min Ning hopes to use time to kill these three people first.

The old Nascent Soul cultivator must witness the death of an elite descendant of the family before his very eyes.
