Upon hearing the commotion, Fang Ruotang immediately spoke up to stop it.
She asked, both amused and exasperated, "Why would someone be in such a hurry to die?"
Yunni stood frozen in place.
Fang Ruotang held the magical treasures she had just acquired, thought for a moment, and said, "You can leave! I don't want your spiritual root." These were all too easy for her to obtain, and there was really no need to kill a pitiful person for them.
Yunni asked incredulously, "You're going to let me go?"
"Well, his spiritual root is pretty good anyway, and not only his spiritual root, but also a lot of spoils of war."
Fang Ruotang muttered to herself, "Next time, to see if someone is completely dead, just see if they dropped any equipment."
Not only that, but we also need to prevent the other person's soul from escaping.
Is this even possible?
Yes, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, a small human figure will cultivate within the dantian. In the face of a life-or-death calamity, as long as the Nascent Soul escapes, it can possess another body and be reborn. If the Nascent Soul survives, the physical body can be reshaped.
He didn't run away, did he?
[He can't escape. With six lords watching, how could he possibly escape? Don't worry! He's as dead as can be.]
It's good that he died completely.
Fang Ruotang wasn't stupid. The first thing she learned after arriving in the Cloud Deep Continent was that if she had the intention to kill, she had to crush the person to the ground and never leave them with even the slightest possibility of revenge.
After all, in the path of cultivation, opportunity is the most important thing. The ants that crawl at her feet today may become insurmountable mountains for her in the future.
Therefore, when dealing with enemies, one must have the force of sweeping away fallen leaves in autumn, leaving them no room for maneuver.
"Hey, why aren't you leaving yet?" Fang Ruotang looked at Yun Ni, who was standing still and staring at her intently.
"Didn't you want my spiritual root?" Yun Ni wanted to run away; after all, who would want to die if they could live?
But she feared that the other party was just toying with her and would take her life the moment she made a move.
"Back then, you wanted to give your spiritual root to that big bad guy, your junior brother. I felt that it would be better to give it to him than to give it to him. But I couldn't bring myself to skin you alive. Besides, I originally wanted to take you as my disciple because I thought your spiritual root was good."
A desire for life instantly ignited in Yun Ni's eyes.
"Master, please accept my bow."
"ah?"
Fang Ruotang didn't mention taking Yun Ni in because she felt that even if she did, Yun Ni wouldn't genuinely submit to their Tianyi Sect.
After all, neither meeting was pleasant.
The discussion revolved entirely around Yun Ni's spiritual root, suggesting that the Tianyi Sect would be on guard day and night once Yun Ni arrived.
This is not the disciple Fang Ruotang wanted.
She needs a lot of oxen and horses to work.
Good servants who are wholeheartedly dedicated to strengthening the Tianyi Sect must not harbor any disloyal thoughts.
After all, it's not that Fang Ruotang is bragging, but becoming her disciple was actually a stroke of luck for these people; they got a huge advantage.
Therefore, she didn't want to pursue Yun Ni too much, and if she felt that this person was not suitable, she didn't want to pursue him.
“I don’t want to take you in anymore! I don’t think you can truly submit to my Tianyi Sect. You’ll always be worried that we’re after your spiritual roots.”
Yunni choked.
How could she not worry?
After all, all the suffering she endured was because of this spiritual root.
"You can leave now!"
Fang Ruotang waved her hand, not wanting to say anything more.
Yun Ni hesitated for a moment, not daring to say anything more, for fear that the other party might change their mind if they were unhappy.
"My lord, she offered it to us willingly, why did you refuse? A mutated Yang spiritual root is far superior to the single spiritual root we extracted."
Fang Ruotang had a wistful expression on her face.
[If someone is inherently bad, it's fine to retaliate in kind, but Yunni hasn't done anything wrong, and she's always been living a life of scheming; she's a pitiful person too, so let's just let it go! Otherwise, I feel like I'm turning into a bad person myself.]
"It's not like we forcibly took it; she offered it herself." Little Mirror muttered. He felt that any treasure he saw should belong to an adult, otherwise he would be missing out.
Gu Yanjin scolded.
[Shut up! Don't try to influence Xiao Liu's thoughts. Let her do whatever she wants. Just listen to her.]
"Exactly, a spirit that talks so much." Huo Zhige chimed in.
Huo Shixu also gently reminded him.
[This is the cultivation world now; surely someone will find a way to extract you from Little Six's sea of consciousness.]
The little mirror, no longer concerned about Yunni's spiritual root, trembled with fear.
"My lord, you must protect me! My heart is completely devoted to you; you can't just stand by and watch me die."
Fang Ruotang chuckled and responded in her mind.
Don't scare him. He's just worried I'll get taken advantage of; he doesn't have any bad intentions, at least not towards me.
Fang Ruotang sounded a little guilty about what she said.
She just doesn't have many ideas, not that she's really stupid. Little Mirror doesn't have any kind thoughts about other people.
But she didn't think there was a problem. In essence, the small mirror and the Emperor's Banner were the same.
They are both magical artifacts, how can they have moral values? Just because they can speak doesn't mean we should treat them as real people.
"That's right, I'm the adult's magical artifact. What? Are you going to disregard the adult and punish me? Aren't you showing the adult a lot of disrespect? Or perhaps you don't truly love the adult, otherwise, why would you do things behind her back that displease her?"
Fang Ruotang, who had just been speaking up for Xiao Jingzi, suddenly shut her mouth. This kind of behavior is courting death; she only has herself to blame if Gu Yanjin and the other six team up to throw her back into the furnace for reshaping.
Forget it, you guys...
Fang Ruotang was at a loss.
She had a feeling of being caught in a conflict between her husband and children, unsure of which side to take.
