372: strange creature

"I really didn't expect you all to be so obedient. You've all come out after such a short time inside, and it seems only a few died."

A bright smile appeared on the Elder's face. They had recruited so many Disciples this time. They didn't worry about recruiting; they mainly needed a large number of people for Cultivation.

The stronger these people were, the more powerful Gu insects the Sect could nurture.

By squeezing out all the potential, strength, and even the Lifespan and flesh of these Disciples, they could obtain a very powerful Gu insect to protect the Sect.

Li Haotian looked at the Elder calmly, then stepped forward and lightly snapped his fingers. Suddenly, an indescribable aura erupted from him. In the next instant, the Elder in front of him spat out blood and died instantly.

Then, everyone in the entire Sect who had a Gu insect inside them was crushed by that single snap of his fingers.

Those people died within the Sect along with those Gu insects.

For them, this was also a form of liberation.

These people had all experienced the sensation of a Gu insect crawling into their brains, which was absolutely terrifying.

If these fellows were left a way to live and were controlled by the Gu insects in the future, it would have very serious consequences for the Human Race.

It might even lead to the Heaven Territory being directly invaded.

Li Haotian's methods were naturally ruthless. He spread his Divine Sense and began searching the surroundings. He quickly found the forces he had been looking for; any of them carrying an aura related to the Foreign Races would be slapped to death by him.

Besides the Ten Great Sects, many other Sects had also been invaded by the Foreign Races through various means.

In a single day, Li Haotian killed nearly a million members of the Human Race.

Every one of these people possessed powerful Cultivation, but without exception, they had all been possessed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Haotian spent less than half a day conducting a massive purge of the entire Heaven Territory.

Liu Yu was shocked when he received the news; Li Haotian's speed of action was faster than he could have imagined.

When he tried to find the other party, he discovered that they had already vanished without a trace.

An ethereal voice suddenly echoed from the sky, causing the hearts of all living beings in the Heaven Territory to tremble slightly.

"After Ascension, all righteous beings of the Heaven Territory will come directly to the Heavenly Profound Sect. I shall bestow blessings here, and I hope you all Cultivate well so that one day you may serve the Heavenly Profound Sect."

As Li Haotian's voice fell, a small green sphere suddenly appeared in the sky and descended to the ground.

In an instant, a flash of green light filled everyone's vision, followed by the appearance of a supreme aura. Everyone felt their hearts tremble as they clearly noticed that the density of the surrounding Spiritual Qi had become terrifyingly high.

Li Haotian used great magic power to forcibly raise the Heavenly Dao of this Heaven Territory by one Realm.

This was recorded in the Monkey King's Cultivation Technique; by using a specific method, one could raise their Cultivation and make it easier and more effortless for the beings of this world to Cultivate.

It required a significant amount of resources, but Li Haotian was willing. After all, it could continuously provide him with more Immortal Realm Powerhouses in the future.

At this moment, all the living beings in the Heaven Territory were filled with excitement.

They could clearly feel their current Cultivation increasing bit by bit; even without actively Cultivating, their strength was growing.

A calm smile appeared on Li Haotian's face. He then waved his sleeve and left the place, tearing through space to return to the Immortal Realm.

He had completed the System mission. Now, what he needed to do was slowly find the coordinates of other Small Worlds and gradually bring them all under his banner, so that all future Ascenders could take up positions in his Sect.

As soon as Li Haotian returned to the Sect, he felt several powerful auras hovering above the Sect. Each of them wore a proud and confident smile, seemingly wanting to demand an explanation.

"Why did a large number of Powerhouses from our Taixuan Immortal Kingdom suddenly die? It must be inextricably linked to you."

"Speak quickly, what exactly happened? What did you do to us? If you can't explain, you will surely face our wrath."

"You must take full responsibility for this incident. If you don't provide a large amount of resources as compensation, this matter will not be settled!"

The Powerhouses in the sky let out roars, their faces full of arrogance.

They had come this time simply because an Elder in their Sect had suddenly died—the very same Elder who had come to cause trouble for them before.

So, they naturally took it for granted that the death of that Elder was directly related to the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Without any evidence and without even thinking of investigating, they came directly to demand accountability, intending to extort benefits from them.

Li Haotian laughed when he heard these people's brainless statements.

He didn't even need to take action himself for such matters; someone would deal with them.

Just as he turned around, the aura of an Immortal Emperor soared into the sky behind him.

Then, several screams echoed from the sky. In the next instant, a mist of blood drifted through the air. The Immortal Venerable Powerhouses who were just shouting in the sky were wiped out without a trace almost instantly.

Only a few heads remained floating in the sky.

This Immortal Emperor Expert specifically left these heads and then flicked a finger toward the Taixuan Immortal Kingdom. They flew back toward their homeland at extreme speed.

The auras in the sky vanished, and everyone returned to a state of calm.

They didn't seem to be disturbed by this sudden little interlude.

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened for a brief second. Li Haotian suddenly sensed something, and his eyes turned somber.

In that brief moment, he had felt an aura that was somewhat familiar yet somewhat strange. Although it was very similar to the aura of the Foreign Races, there was still a fundamental difference.

While this aura was similar to the Foreign Races, it contained threads of madness.

His figure flickered and vanished from the spot as he began searching the Immortal Realm for the place where that wisp of aura had appeared.

After a long time, he had no success. Just as he was feeling puzzled, his gaze suddenly fell toward the direction of the Heavenly Court.

If even an Immortal Venerable like himself could sense that eerie aura, how could the Heavenly Court not sense it? How could they remain indifferent?

Once Su Zhe understood this, his figure flickered, and he flew toward the direction of the Heavenly Court.

At this time, a humanoid creature with two horns on its head, exuding an evil aura, was sitting in the main hall of the Heavenly Court.
