Kang Ke laughed and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to join us in eliminating the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect, who harm fellow cultivators?”

The cultivator continued to insist, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t. My abilities are too weak, I am truly incapable of assisting the Crown Prince. I ask for the Crown Prince’s understanding.”

“If you’re not willing to contribute, then what use are you?” the barefooted male cultivator suddenly interrupted, extending his hand towards the cultivator who had refused to contribute.

The cultivator was shocked to find that the hand of the barefooted male cultivator seemed like a mountain bearing down on him. Although he wasn’t keen to surrender without a fight, he felt like his limbs were lead-heavy, and the True Essence in his meridians seemed frozen; he couldn’t control it at all.

In an instant, the hand of the barefooted male cultivator smacked him down, and he lay sprawled on the ground. Half his body was smashed, and he died on the spot.

The barefooted male cultivator withdrew his hand, seeming indifferent. It was as if he had just killed an ant rather than a living human being.

Kang Ke’s lips twitched. This was not the first time he had seen the barefooted male cultivator take action, but watching it again still inspired fear deep in his heart. Despite the fear, there was also a hint of excitement. Now they were collaborators, and the stronger his partner, the greater the benefits he could possibly gain.

“Any of you who believes that you do not have the power, or do not wish to contribute? Don’t worry, it’s okay to speak out, I will not force you.” Kang Ke’s voice had a touch of maliciousness.

Watching the body still bleeding on the ground, everyone fell silent. That was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, who had just been smacked to death. This showed how powerful the barefooted male cultivator was – at least at the Gold Core Stage. And given that killing someone was as easy as swatting a fly, who among them, with their meager cultivation, would dare to utter a ‘no’ now?

“We are willing to follow the Crown Prince’s commands, fighting for the justice of the Cultivation World, united against the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect.” Those cultivators who had not previously taken the Low Grade spirit stones hurried to stand up, eagerly pushing forward to receive the spirit stones.

“A bunch of spineless fellows,” Kang Ke muttered under his breath.

With a precedent set, everyone else was swift in collecting the spirit stones, fearing that they might become the next target of the barefooted male cultivator’s lethal attack. Before long, all the cultivators had collected their spirit stones.

“Since everyone has received their spirit stones, I hope everyone will cooperate actively in the next move. Once the traces of the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect are found, advance bravely without hesitating or shirking your duty. Now, I’ll assign some tasks. Some of you go to East City, some of you go to West City…”

Without specifying names, Kang Ke simply gestured randomly, dividing dozens of cultivators into groups and directing them towards different parts of the city. Altogether, Kang Ke divided them into six groups, each headed in a different direction. The leaders of each group were not the cultivators like Qi Tian, but Royal servants assigned by Kang Ke. In addition to the servant, each team was also assigned a Spirit Beast.

When the Spirit Beasts appeared, they were impressively powerful. Everyone in the teams, except for Qi Tian, was delighted beyond measure. These Spirit Beasts were all Half-step Golden Core Beasts. Such a significant force would make capturing the Six Demons of the Soul Snatching Sect so much easier!

While others were overjoyed, Qi Tian was alert. These Spirit Beasts were all allied with the White Zombie Tiger that Qi Tian had slain before. Their aura was identical, and the Heavenly Dao Engine’s response to them was exactly the same.

These beasts may seem normal now, but Qi Tian had not forgotten their brutality and their violent thirst for blood. Having such beasts in the team would not necessarily contribute to capturing the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect, but would certainly bring disaster to their own team.

Qi Tian’s victory over the White Zombie Tiger had a lot to do with the fact that he carried Explosive Thunder Talismans, which directly countered the White Zombie Tiger. Now, he barely had any left. He might not be able to manage even one Zombie Demonic Beast, let alone there were several in sight. And with the most potent threat of the barefooted male cultivator looming, killing more Zombie Demonic Beasts would be pointless.

Qi Tian made a simple choice. While in the team, he would keep as much distance as possible from the Zombie Demonic Beasts joining them. Having a good distance would grant him more reaction time, whether he wanted to use the Explosive Thunder Talisman or use his own power at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Qi Tian was aware of this, but the others were not. Many of them even approached Zombie Demonic Beasts, hoping that in case of a fierce battle, these beasts would shield them.

Emerging from the Crown Prince Palace, Qi Tian’s team headed straight for West City of Chi Di Capital. This time the Chi Di royal family had some reliable information about the whereabouts of the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect, thus organizing this operation. In the past, even if they knew that the Six Demons of the Soul Stealing Sect had laid the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array and killed hundreds of cultivators, the Chi Di royal family would not have taken any action.

For one, The Chi Di royal family didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Cultivation World rashly. Incurring the collective wrath of the Cultivation World would require the Chi Di royal family to pay quite a heavy price to calm the situation. On the other hand, the Six Demons were strong figures among cultivators. The six brothers were all cultivation experts on the brink of breakthrough to the Gold Core Stage. Having such threatening individuals gathered together posed a threat, especially considering that no one knew when they might break through to the Gold Core Stage. Once any one of them advanced to the Gold Core Stage, they would become one of the top forces in the Cultivation World of Chi Di. The Chi Di royal family would not risk making enemies unnecessarily, even if they didn’t wish to forge alliances.
