Upon hearing Wind Hunter’s words, shock rippled through the thousands of cultivators in attendance, including Henry and the Tanjen disciples.
That person was the top-ranked cultivator in the True Life. He was supposed to engage in a life-and-death battle with Remus. Not only him, but everyone present had harbored similar intentions. And yet, favonovel.com was not fighting but kneeling and begging for mercy.
Remus was also caught off guard and inquired, “Aren’t you here to kill me? Entering the sacred lands is the dream of every cultivator. Don’t you desire it?”
Wind Hunter shook his head. “In True Life, all cultivators believe that progress hinges on talent and resources. While those are crucial, the most vital attribute is intelligence… I’ve lived for 130 years and consider myself an intelligent person. If I were to act selfishly against someone much stronger than me, like you, I’d definitely end up dead!”
Remus smiled and replied, “You’re right, I could have easily killed you in my prime, but now, my spirit energy is nearly depleted. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I’m just an ordinary person. Don’t you feel the slightest temptation?”
Indeed, favonovel.com was now just an ordinary person.
The thousands of cultivators in attendance contemplated the same question. Given Remus’ current weakened state, anyone could overpower favonovel.com easily. Their reluctance to act stemmed from the fact that even if they managed to take his life, they wouldn’t be able to leave the scene alive.
Moreover, who would dare to stand in Wind Hunter’s way?
Wind Hunter pondered for a moment before speaking up, “Since you’re questioning, I’ll speak frankly. You’ve consistently stressed that the curse won’t stop until everyone is dead and repeatedly mentioned being pushed to the limit. It truly creates the impression that you’re being pushed to the brink…”
“But if I’m not mistaken, you deliberately stated that to incite more people to take action against you. You must still have a hidden card!”
His statement prompted a dramatic shift in the expressions of everyone in attendance.
Remus narrowed his eyes, recognizing Wind Hunter’s wisdom. He still retained his martial arts techniques, which favonovel.com hadn’t yet unleashed, and they were more than adequate to confront a peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Additionally, there was the Sword Curse. However, it wouldn’t be employed until the very last moment, as using it would reveal favonovel.com as a practitioner of dark paths, something widely disapproved of in True Life. If favonovel.com did so, the thousands of cultivators present would unite against him.
Observing Remus’ silence, Wind Hunter continued, “This is just my assumption, but your initial three questions weren’t intended as inquiries but rather as an opportunity for everyone, and for True Life itself. Because right from the beginning, you were ready to wipe out all of True Life…”
Upon hearing this, thousands of cultivators trembled uncontrollably, their eyes widening in shock. It was as if they had just realized that Remus had intended to obliterate True Life.
Remus remained silent, turned around, and strode toward the backyard.
Without looking back, favonovel.com said, “Clean up the Tanjen Organization.”
“Alright!” Wind Hunter nodded respectfully, promptly rising to his feet. He began the cleanup process using the most basic tools, diligently sweeping bit by bit with a broom.
As thousands of cultivators rushed toward the Tanjen Organization, they abruptly halted upon reaching its entrance.
They descended to the ground and swiftly ascended the steps, grateful to have chosen to be the observer. Their cautious approach stemmed from the realization that excessive greed would have led them to share the same fate as the lifeless bodies scattered on the ground.
Arriving at the square, they began to argue over cleaning tools, almost fighting over them. Those who couldn’t get any tools had to use their clothing as rags, wiping the bloodstains on the ground.
Nearly half of True Life had been annihilated, and the other half of it was involved in the cleanup effort.
