Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 397

Chapter 397: In Our Heavenly Dao Sect Territory, Everyone Is Born Equal!

“As for the Gao clan members…”

Su Bai paused and turned his gaze to Tianzhu.

Tianzhu’s expression was cold. “They all harbor hatred. If we let them live, they’ll only leave behind endless calamity!”

“Although their strength can’t shake our Heavenly Dao Sect, this Immortal Realm has many powerful forces—some with the means to make those forces come after us!”

“Even spreading the news that we are ascendants would be enough to attract countless massive powers!”

“In my opinion: kill them.”

Tianzhu said icily that these Gao clan people must never be released; otherwise they would inevitably cause untold troubles!!!

To show mercy to the enemy is to be cruel to ourselves!!!

Especially these members of the Gao clan!

Over a million years, how much blood has been on their hands?

Over a million years, how many ascendants were enslaved and sold by them??

Over a million years, how many clans were destroyed and wiped out by them??

If you think the Gao clan people are innocent, what about those who were abused to death by the Gao family?

Were they innocent?

They were born only to be enslaved—what did they do wrong?

This is the rule of the Immortal Realm!!

A world that reveres family above all is even more brutal than one that reveres sects!

Because a family’s cohesion far exceeds that of a sect!

If a sect is destroyed, most people will choose to leave and join other sects.
But if a family is destroyed…

Then it becomes an endless, implacable feud!!

“I know the Sect Master cares for the common people and can’t bring himself to act directly. Then hand this to me—let me be the one to bear this sin!”

Tianzhu gave a faint smile, then looked at the more than six thousand ascendants behind him.

“Everyone, tell me—how shall we deal with these Gao clan members!!”

At those words, the thousands of ascendants all had blazing hatred in their eyes.

“Kill!!!”

They shouted in unison, their killing intent piercing the heavens!!!

At this moment, those who had once lived in ignoble desperation erupted with unprecedented fury!!

Once they ascended, they had no choice: enslaved, sold, struck down at will by the Gao clan!!

During the thousands of years they toiled in the mines, they had witnessed the Gao family’s cruelty!

They had seen the despair of elder ascendants before death and their longing for home…

Now, all that hatred crystallized into the sharp swords of their voices!

“Kill!”

“Kill, kill!!”

“Kill, kill, kill!!!”

Not killing would not appease the people’s rage!

Not killing would not wash away the million years of blood on the Gao family!

Not killing would not send a shock through the Immortal Realm!!

“Kill!”

At last, Su Bai spoke as well.

“Rumble!!!”

In an instant, a terrifying aura surged—the thousands of ascendants together with Tianzhu shot up toward the sky, cleaving the firmament and tearing through the clouds.

The sky suddenly darkened, as if the end of days had come.

“Boom!”

“Rumble!!”

“Rumble!!!”

……………

In a blink, the entire Gao clan city was plunged into a hellish pandemonium!

…………..

Su Bai had already shifted his gaze farther out, toward the billions-of-miles stretch of land beyond Gao clan city.

Here, even more scenes that pierced the heart could be seen!!

Beyond Gao Clan City, across a hundred-billion-mile radius, lay Gao family rule. Within it were vassal forces, some heavenly immortals, and a scattering of minor cities that belonged to them.

Although these cities were nothing like Gao Clan City in scale, at least in this world where the strong reign, they could surrender some dignity to allow their families to survive.

Su Bai’s gaze did not linger on those small cities. Though they were exploited by the Gao family, at least they wouldn’t starve — they still had patrons to depend on.

But across that hundred-billion-mile land, there were far more countless tiny families that barely had houses at all!!!

These families numbered as few as a few hundred, at most a few tens of thousands. Each clan was small, but there were far too many of them!

They were like pinpricks of starlight across an endless world, forced to burn themselves to heat others.

They had no choice; they could not control their fate.

They struggled to survive, hungry and shivering, living each day in fear. Some of these small clans were even casually slaughtered by members of the powerful families!!!

When an infant in one of these families opened its eyes and looked at its household,

Was its cry filled with hope for this world?

Or with despair??

No one knew, and no one could read the expression in a baby’s eyes.

All anyone knew was that the family… could not be allowed to disappear!

In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle — the strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest — is an immutable truth!!!

These weak families were like wildly growing chives, harvested again and again.

A little grows, a little is cut!

Over and over, and over again!

If one produced a Heavenly Venerable, Gao would immediately seize them to mine!

Even without a Venerable, Gao people would periodically come and pick those fit to be slaves!

Rebel?

Impossible!

Eradicating them all would not be mercy, but convenience — easier for repeated harvesting later!

After all, if they were wiped out, there’d be no slaves to find.

And this was only a tiny, insignificant tip of the iceberg in this world!!

The cruelty of the Immortal Realm far exceeds that of the continent’s Immortal Alliances!

That is genuine, visceral despair!

“Back then, I sheltered these small families and waged guerrilla war against the Gao family.”

“Unfortunately, I was alone and couldn’t hold out long.”

Tianzhu’s voice rose again. He wiped the blood from his blade and stared into the distance.

A shadow of sorrow crossed his face; that memory was unbearably painful!!!

Once upon a time, how much he had wanted to guard this land and protect those weak peoples.

But alas…

His strength was insufficient to lead them in breaking the chains of fate!

Now, however, the Heavenly Dao Sect had that strength!

At least here in the Northern Realm, they had a foothold!

Su Bai watched all this and understood naturally.

If he did nothing and simply left,

those families would surely be carved up and plundered by other powerful clans.

Su Bai took a step forward, and a plan for the next move formed in his heart.

There were far too many people at the bottom of this world; he could not save them all.

But for the Heavenly Dao Sect to establish itself in the Immortal Realm, he needed to save these people.

Because the territory of his Invincible Domain required citizens with faith to exist!

Sending the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect up to the Immortal Realm must not turn them into mere territory of the sect.

They need the faith of these immortals of the Immortal Realm!

He had never claimed to be a savior; what he cared about was that behind him………

Ten thousand homes lit up, crowds pressed together.

Those countless candles illuminated their souls, lighting the single spark deep within each of them!!!

Fate should not have a shackle placed on it the moment someone is born!

Su Bai spoke, proclaiming it to the world!

“I, Su Bai, Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect!”

“Today, I destroy the Gao clan and here establish the Heavenly Dao Sect!”

“Hereby, I declare to the world!”

“Within the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect, there shall be no distinction of high or low, noble or humble; if a heavenly immortal kills without cause, they shall be punished as any mortal!”

“Within the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect, everyone may cultivate immortality for free!”

“Within the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect, all are born equal!”
