My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

“We’ve already sent a message back to the sect about a large-scale spirit vein. I’m sure the sect will come to collect it.”

“If this demon clan obeys, they can serve as mounts. If they refuse, they will be annihilated. The choice is up to them,” Xiong Li said.

“I hope they surrender. The sect’s spirit boats are good, but their design is too monotonous. Having these creatures as mounts would add some diversity, and we could share a chat in our leisure time,” Xiang Yun said with a smile.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Pu Tao categorized the demon clans based on the information received.

Kind, neutral, evil.

Kind and neutral clans do not harbor any inherent malice, do not hold grudges against the Human Clan, and have not committed large-scale massacres of the Human Clan since their arrival.

Anything otherwise is deemed evil. According to the standards of the Hidden Spirit Sect, those subjected to subjugation are only fit to be slaves, as the Five Spirit Monkeys once were.

“Senior Brother, I notice you’ve become much more composed than before,” Xiang Yun said with a smile.

For some time now, he had been completing multiple tasks with Xiong Li. They had encountered many dangers, but managed to overcome them together.

“I’ve always been composed, it’s just that I’m more so now.”

“I had a chat with junior fellow-apprentice Xue Ling at the Scripture Pavilion that day and gained some insights,” said Xiong Li.

“So the insights have made Senior Brother more composed?” Xiang Yun asked curiously.

“No, I sensed an opportunity to challenge my own limits. It’s something you can’t seek, forcibly pursuing such an opportunity would only backfire,” Xiong Li explained slowly.

Just then, their shadow swept across the sky.

A huge spirit vessel descended not far from where the two were.

Elder Zhan Ling stepped down, leading a hundred Combination-stage puppets.

Zhan Ling made no effort to conceal his aura and directly alerted the sovereign of the Wind Blue Rain Swans Clan.

A streak of blue light flashed across the sky, and the sovereign of the Wind Blue Rain Swans Clan emerged.

Zhan Ling squinted at the sky. Once he had a clear look at the sovereign, he wonfered, “Keeping this clan as mounts would be pretty great.”

Xiong Li and Xiang Yun exchanged glances.

“Human Clan Demon Venerable, if I have no intention of going to war with you, please withdraw quickly,” the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign said coldly.

“I won’t waste words with you – just know this: this large-scale spirit vein belongs to our human clan, and we have our eyes on your clan to serve as our apprentices’ mounts.”

“Comply to live, rebel to die, the choice is yours,”

The Heavy Water Origin Blade appeared in Zhan Ling’s hands, exuding the unique aura of immortal tools.

At the same time, two railguns in the sky also targeted Rain Goose Demon Sovereign.

At this moment, the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign felt as if he was facing a huge cannon, it wasn’t a question of life and death, but direct annihilation.

Just then, 10 more large spirit vessels appeared in the sky, and ten thousand Void Cultivation Stage puppets landed and stood orderly in the sky, waiting for instructions.

Xiong Li and Xiang Yun were somewhat flustered at this moment, and the same thought flashed in their minds.

When did our sect become so powerful?

“Little Demon Sovereign, make your choice quickly. If you don’t submit after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, killing will commence. By then, your clan can only become demon slaves.”

The Endless Blood Sea appeared behind Zhan Ling, and from time to time, vengeful spirits of the Demon Clan burst out of the sea of blood, all of them looking at the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign with bloodthirsty, greedy eyes.

“Make your choice quickly, surrender or perish.”

Elder Zhan Ling’s smile carried a hint of bloodthirst.

Standing on the side, Xiong Li and Xiang Yun began to communicate telepathically.

“I always feel that Elder Zhan Ling is not a good person.” Xiang Yun said telepathically.

“One should not judge solely based on appearances. Elder Zhan Ling has been quite good to our sect’s disciples. Whenever a disciple seeks his advice, he would patiently instruct them,” Xiong Li replied.

Back when they were guarding the Steel Great Wall, he even consulted Zhan Ling about several cultivation issues.

“However, Elder Zhan Ling’s image is indeed somewhat… nonetheless, this won’t affect the outcome.”

At this moment, the entire Demon Clan of the Wind Blue Rain Swans, who are at the Nascent Soul Stage and above, rushed over.

Walking behind their Demon Sovereign, they pledged to share the fate with their sovereign.

Their firm, indomitable expressions further highlighted Zhan Ling’s evildoing.

“It seems you’re willing to die for your clan.” Zhan Ling looked at the Wind Blue Rain Swans in the sky, his eyes blood-red.

“Human Clan, we’ll migrate and leave the large-scale Spirit Vein to you. Can you let our clan go?” The Rain Goose Demon Sovereign pleaded.

“No, I want both your clan and the large-scale Spirit Vein. If you don’t submit, you will die.”

Zhan Ling said, raising his hand and releasing a light curtain.

“This is the treatment my sect offers to the submissive Demon Clans. If you submit now, you still have the chance to enjoy it.”

“Once you become Demon Slaves, you’ll have nothing left.” Zhan Ling said with a smile, but the expression on his face was wicked.

“Human Clan, do you think I’m stupid?” The Rain Goose Demon Sovereign felt insulted.

“I don’t believe that by submitting to your sect we will receive this treatment.”

“Certainly not all will receive this kind of treatment, but as long as you serve my sect, you can become a member of the demonic sect of my sect and enjoy this treatment,” a puppet explained.

Pu Tao detected that the Wind Blue Rain Swans are neutral species, whose talents are particularly suitable for serving as mounts. He therefore accepted the task of persuading them to surrender from Zhan Ling.

He was afraid that Zhan Ling might get it all wrong in the heat of the moment.

“After our clan submits, how will we be treated?” Rain Goose Demon Sovereign asked, his tone softening.

He had realized that even without submitting, they would still be enslaved, especially the murderous intent from the sky that made him dare not order his clan to flee.

“Move your territory outside the range of Linsen Immortal City and accept the control of my Hidden Spirit Sect.”

“As long as you do not harm the Human Clan, you still can enjoy relative freedom. The only loss you will suffer is not being able to enjoy the large-scale Spirit Vein,” the puppet added.

“My Wind Blue Rain Swans Clan submits,” the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign said with a sigh.

In the Demon World, they were oppressed by the strong clans. They had originally wanted to escape this oppression by coming to the Human Realm, allowing the young birds in their clan to grow better.

It was against their expectation that after coming to the Human Clan, they would also be oppressed by the Human Clan Sects. But this was still better than complete loss.

“Those who know the current affairs are wise. Your choice will bring hope of peace and rise to your clan,” the puppet said, with a trace of joy in his tone.

Seeing this, Zhan Ling, somewhat annoyed, said to Pu Tao, “At least let me fight this Demon Sovereign before he comes out. I requested this blade for nothing.”

“This clan is not famous for its combat power. Even if you fight, Elder Zhan Ling, you won’t find it entertaining. Besides, the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign wouldn’t be able to withstand a few attacks from Elder Zhan Ling,” Xiong Li laughed on the side.

He felt that Elder Zhan Ling definitely wanted to find someone for a good fight at this moment.

“Are there any other Demon Clans nearby? I want to engage in a battle,” Zhan Ling looked at the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign and said.

“Three thousand miles to the west, there is the Lion Scorpion Clan. Their Demon Sovereign has excellent combat power, which should satisfy the Human Clan Venerable’s requirements,” the Rain Goose Demon Sovereign said courteously.
