Chapter 347: Chapter 156: All Things in the World Are Related to Me._4
Of course, among these, combat power is the most important one. If your combat power is lacking, it means that you are only temporarily holding onto these foundations for someone else; they don’t truly belong to you.
For example… Yuan Sect.
All things under the heavens are predestined to be mine.
A good six or seven hours had passed.
The sky had already turned dark.
Chen Qiu and the others, still not fully satisfied, finally left the “Yuan Sect.” By then, the Yuan Sect no longer had the appearance of a world hidden away amongst Spiritual Energy; viewed from the high sky, the entire sect was dilapidated and in ruins.
Not a single corpse was to be seen.
Even the buildings within the sect and the bluestones paved on the ground had been removed.
Not to mention the back mountain, which had been lush and green; it was now bare, and all one could see was the brownish-yellow earth, with not a single plant in sight.
Everything that was seen had been taken away.
It was only several hours after Chen Qiu and the others had left that some people cautiously approached. The commotion at the “Yuan Sect” during the day had drawn quite a bit of attention, and only under the cover of darkness did they dare to carefully sneak over to see what had happened.
Soon, they confirmed one thing!
The “Yuan Sect,” a dominant power for many years, had been eradicated!
Shock and fear appeared in the eyes of these first ones to arrive. This was a major event, as it had been a long time since a sect of the Yuan Sect’s scale had been destroyed.
The Yuan Sect had a Nascent Soul peak-level expert in residence!
These people panicked and scattered in all directions, planning to relay the news to their respective forces. Some bolder ones, seizing the opportunity before the news spread widely, rushed to the Yuan Sect in the night to see if they could find any valuable treasures left behind.
After all, the Yuan Sect’s heritage had been strong for many years.
These people returned from the mountain, their faces expressionless and without success. They were not new to sect destruction, but it was the first time they had seen one so thoroughly wiped out; nothing was left behind.
They even saw a Healing Pill, meant for those in the Qi Refinement Realm, crushed underfoot.
Deliberately crushed.
The group that destroyed the sect had seen the pill on the ground, deemed it worthless, and decided not to pick it up. But they didn’t want to waste it either, so they crushed the pill. That was sheer beastly behavior, wasn’t it?
Chen Qiu stood on the deck of the Flying Boat, although riddled with holes and battered, it was still serviceable. He looked down at the map in his hands, “Let’s see, a power that borders the territory of the ‘Yuan Sect’ is the ‘Taoist Sect.’
“Let’s visit this Taoist Sect tonight and sell them the territory and influence of the Yuan Sect. They are neighboring and will manage it better.”
“This power is not weak either, with the strongest being at the Nascent Soul peak level.”
Fat Long, standing beside him, hesitated for a long while before speaking, “Brother Qiu, what if they decide not to pay and just seize it? After all, the Yuan Sect’s territory is right there; whoever occupies it now owns it, and we don’t have anything like a deed of ownership.”
“How do we prove that the territory is ours?”
“There’s no need for proof.”
Chen Qiu shook his head, glanced up at the myriad of stars in the sky, and said nonchalantly, “We annihilated the Yuan Sect, so naturally, the territory is ours. If the Taoist Sect isn’t planning to pay and is preparing to take it by force,
such behavior would be no different from that of an Evil Demon.”
“When dealing with friends, we have fine wine.”
“When dealing with Evil Demons, we also have another way of engagement.”
After pausing for a moment, he then put away the map he obtained from the Yuan Sect into his robe, leaned his arms on the edge of the Flying Boat, and gazed into the night sky with a slight chuckle.
“Spring is nearly here, huh.”
“It’s time for all things to come back to life.”
