Yang Fei only glanced briefly at the situation inside the storage bag, and his heart was filled with joy.
He withdrew his Divine Sense from the storage bag, tightened the strap at the opening, and put it into his pocket.
No wonder it’s a magic artifact; it contained so many things yet was so lightweight, without much weight at all.
The Cultivation Realm is indeed full of treasures.
He looked at Li Yue and said, "Brother Li, are you willing to honor your bet?"
Li Yue took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "I don’t want to die, so I have to honor my bet."
Yang Fei laughed heartily and quickly said, "Brother Li, you’re joking. Actually, I had read some information about you before, so I do trust your character quite a bit. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given you this opportunity."
Li Yue looked at him and asked, "What do you plan to do with my other brothers and sisters? Do you plan to kill them all?"
Yang Fei shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you might have some misunderstanding about me. Actually, neither my wife nor I are people who kill the innocent indiscriminately. The reason we had to kill Sun Lei is that his intentions were not good; he first harbored murderous intent towards me and had inappropriate thoughts about my wife. Would anyone else in the Cultivation World tolerate such things?"
Not to mention other cultivators in the Cultivation World, even someone with a relatively good nature like him wouldn’t tolerate the likes of Sun Lei living.
The Cultivation World is the most brutal place, where the weak are prey to the strong, and every opportunity must be fought for.
Thus, everyone is very protective of their possessions; if anyone covets your things, as long as you have the strength to fight back, you will not give in.
Because the weak will always be bullied, and anyone could step on you.
Yang Fei’s kind of character, Li Yue found it very suitable for survival in the Cultivation World.
"Brother Li, apart from you, me, my wife, and the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, no fourth person in this world will know about Sun Lei’s death; what do you think?" Yang Fei said to Li Yue.
Li Yue pondered for a moment and nodded.
Yang Fei was delighted and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."
Li Yue smiled bitterly and sighed, "I am the defeated one; how can I dare to say thanks? Moreover, since you truly have the means to overpower all of us, you could easily have killed us all. The fact that you’re sparing me is already tremendous kindness, and I should be the one thanking you."
Yang Fei laughed heartily and shook his head, "Even if I had the ability and means to wipe out all the disciples of Lingxiao Sect, I wouldn’t do so. It would only bring endless trouble and disaster to Earth, which is not the result I want."
Hearing this, Li Yue couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for Yang Fei and looked at him.
Yang Fei said sincerely, "Brother Li, although we haven’t known each other long, I believe you should see my character and integrity. I am someone who always repays grievances, and I will not be merciful to my enemies, but at the same time, to those who have not offended me, I will not target."
Li Yue thought about it and nodded quietly.
Yang Fei said, "Sun Lei really deserved to die, so please don’t take this matter to heart, Brother Li."
Li Yue sighed, "I will not bring it up again."
Yang Fei was delighted and said, "Good, let this matter become an eternal secret in our hearts."
Li Yue looked at Yang Fei with a complex expression and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Yang Fei said, "Brother Li, you are inherently kind and compassionate, and I believe you wouldn’t want to see Earth’s humans suffer innocent slaughter, would you?"
Yang Fei clasped his hands and said, "On behalf of the Earth Human Clan, I thank Brother Li. I only hope that if Brother Li can return to Lingxiao Sect in the future, you will not reveal that Earth has abundant cultivation resources."
Li Yue immediately showed a difficult expression, thinking for a moment, then said, "Even if I don’t say anything, other disciples of Lingxiao Sect will report everything truthfully when they return. This matter cannot be concealed for long."
Yang Fei said, "I have a way to make sure your fellow sect members won’t speak out. Besides, the longer this can be kept a secret, the better; I won’t force it. What I need is time. Now that Earth has just experienced the Spiritual Energy Revival, as long as we are given some time, I believe Earth’s cultivators will grow quickly, and by then, they will have enough standing to negotiate with your Lingxiao Sect, and won’t be as weak as they are now, unable to avoid becoming a colony of your sect."
Inside, Li Yue felt increasingly impressed by Yang Fei.
Qin Yanyang also felt immensely gratified by Yang Fei’s decision.
She shared the same concerns as Yang Fei and wanted the same outcome as he stated.
She believed that as long as Earth was given some time, many Earth cultivators would grow and eventually gain the qualification to engage in dialogue with Lingxiao Sect and other Cultivation Realm forces from the Central Great World. This way, they wouldn’t be so weak and, possessing White Jade City as a top-grade spiritual ore, become a battlefield for forces from the Central Great World vying for control.
Li Yue pondered for a moment and said, "If you can make the other Lingxiao Sect disciples keep the secret, I can agree with you. However, I must remind you, the passage from the Central Great World to Earth has now been established. Although the other end of the passage is in the Southern Domain, which is our Lingxiao Sect’s territory, this news will inevitably soon reach other sects and aristocratic families. At that time, those sects and families will surely send numerous Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to explore, so eventually, the true situation here will be known to all forces in the Southern Domain of the Central Great World."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "No worries. As I said, I only need the help of Lingxiao Sect disciples to keep it hidden; as for how long it can be kept secret, it’s up to fate."
Li Yue nodded heavily and said, "I, Li Yue, swear to the heavens, I will never reveal the situation here. If I violate this vow, may I be punished by heaven, suffer a dreadful death, and never reincarnate."
When Yang Fei heard his vicious vow, he pretended to say, "Oh, Brother Li, since you’ve promised, there’s no need for such a venomous oath. It makes me feel quite embarrassed."
Li Yue’s mouth twitched; he was somewhat speechless.
However, he also understood, for regarding such a big matter, if he didn’t swear to the heavens, Yang Fei wouldn’t be assured.
If it were him, he probably would have done the same.
Deep down, Yang Fei had the ability and opportunity but did not kill him; instead, he spared his life. Li Yue felt he should be grateful to Yang Fei.
Beside them, the obediently lying Heaven-devouring Divine Beast seemed a bit impatient and let out a low growl at Yang Fei, as if reminding him of something.
Yang Fei glanced at it, thought for a moment, then used his Divine Thought to activate the Soul Binding Rope, releasing the strand of Divine Soul Thought Power that was binding the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.
In an instant, the previously listless spirit of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast revitalized, and its powerful ancient Divine Beast aura grew stronger and stronger.
A roar that shook the skies erupted from its mouth, rising to the heavens.
Yang Fei was secretly vigilant, holding the Soul Binding Rope tightly, spell at the tip of his tongue.
Li Yue and Qin Yanyang were terrified by the full-on aura of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, watching it cautiously and preparing silently. Updates are released by novelFirｅ.net
