Xu Qiang shook his head and said nothing.
Everyone slowly quietened down and looked at Xu Qiang.
Xu Qiang said, "Killing so many people is against the harmony of heaven."
"Sect Master, we can't care about whether or not this will harm the heavens. It's really dangerous to let so many people go back." Sima Xing said in a low voice, "They must be unhappy and think that we played tricks on them. They will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge."
Xu Qiang frowned and pondered.
Their level of cultivation was not high enough. At his level, he could vaguely feel the existence of merit, and its influence on fate and martial arts cultivation was real.
Therefore, he did not dare to kill so many people at once.
He slowly turned his head to look at Chu Li.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Chu Li.
This time, it was all thanks to Chu Li that they were able to successfully take down these four hundred martial arts masters and attack the Heaven's Equal Faction's lair. Even if they were not completely convinced by Chu Li, they could not ignore him.
His words were more effective than theirs.
"High Official Li, what do you think?" Xu Qiang asked.
Chu Li nodded. "Indeed, it is not advisable to kill them all. Otherwise, it would harm the harmony of the heavens and harm our future cultivation."
Everyone laughed and shook their heads, feeling that this statement was a little ridiculous.
Chu Li said sternly, "Does everyone think that this is empty talk?"
"They came to kill us, and we killed them instead. That's not against the heavens, right?" Wei Ren asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "God has the virtue of cherishing life. Killing too much is ultimately a bad thing."
"There are too many top experts who have killed countless people," Wei Ren said.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "The Heavenly Mystery is real."
"Then how do you propose we deal with these people?" Xu Qiang asked.
Chu Li said, "Let the sects redeem their people. You can demand an exorbitant price and rip them off."
"Letting them off so easily?" Sima Xing frowned and said, "What if they come back for revenge?"
Chu Li smiled. "If they really dare to take revenge, it doesn't matter if we kill them again next time. They're just asking for it. You can escape a natural disaster, but you can't escape a self-inflicted one. They can't blame us."
"I didn't expect High Official Li to be so soft-hearted." Wei Ren shook his head.
Everyone was a little disappointed.
A real man should be straightforward in his actions. Since he had the chance to kill these fellows, why should he hold back? Being soft-hearted would eventually invite revenge and big trouble.
Xu Qiang looked at Chu Li and nodded in satisfaction.
Wei Ren said, "Sect Master, you should make up your mind. How should we deal with them?"
"Who are the people inside?" Xu Qiang asked.
An old man with white eyebrows and beard said, "Two hundred from the Heaven's Equal Sect, a hundred from the Heaven Saber Sect, and a hundred from the Tripeaks Sect."
"Trap them for two days first," Xu Qiang said. "We need to add a few more layers to the array, in case they come over to break the array."
"Yes." The four white-haired elders nodded vigorously.
"Are you really going to let them go?" Wei Ren asked.
Xu Qiang nodded. "Senior-apprentice Brother Wei, the Elders should come to Heart Questioning Hall and discuss what price they should pay."
"Even the two hundred experts from the Equal Heaven Sect were spared," Wei Ren said with dissatisfaction.
Xu Qiang said, "They can't do anything now."
"It's better to cripple them first. Even if they take revenge, it'll be a little later," Wei Ren said.
After obtaining enough benefits, they would need some time to digest and increase the overall strength of the Southern Sky Gate. Those two hundred experts would need some time to recover their martial arts, and the Southern Sky Gate would not be afraid at that time.
Xu Qiang finally shook his head.
With Pang Taia dead and Yu Wenlong dead, the Equal Heaven Sect was no longer a threat. As long as they obtained enough benefits and took the opportunity to increase the strength of the Southern Sky Gate, there was no need to cripple these two hundred experts.
He was not afraid of the Equal Heaven Sect. There was no need to kill these experts, they just needed to trap them and not let them go. The Equal Heaven Sect had too many enemies, they would take the opportunity to hit them when they were down.
These two hundred top-notch experts were too important to the Equal Heaven Sect. It was a matter of life and death, so the Equal Heaven Sect had to yield. Even if the Southern Sky Gate asked for a lion's share, the Equal Heaven Sect would have to swallow it.
"Gate Leader!" Wei Ren was anxious.
Xu Qiang waved his hand. "Let's go to Heart Questioning Hall first."
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "Gate Leader, I have to go back and heal."
"Alright." Xu Qiang nodded. "Be careful."
He knew that Chu Li's injuries were very serious. Even with the Spirit Pill, he had to be careful. Pang Taia's attack could not be underestimated.
Chu Li nodded and smiled. He gave a fist salute to everyone, then turned around and slowly walked back.
Wei Ren said, "Gate Leader, do you really not want High Official Li to come up with an idea?"
"High Official Li almost lost his life this time. Let him rest well. He doesn't have to worry about such a small matter." Xu Qiang said.
Wei Ren sighed. "Our victory this time was all thanks to High Official Li."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
In the end, they had only fought one battle and had the advantage in numbers. Unlike the Gate Leader and High Official Li, they had to face Pang Taia's crazy pursuit alone and racked their brains to come up with a plan.
When everyone returned to Heart Questioning Hall, they began to discuss.
They were not in a hurry. These four hundred experts needed to be tortured for a while to prevent them from being released. The Equal Heaven Sect, the Heaven Saber Sect, and the Tripeaks Sect needed to make them anxious so that they could ask for a lion's share.
Chu Li returned to the courtyard. As soon as he sat down, his expression changed.
The raging Hellfire engulfed him instantly. It was as if he was in magma and was being burned by the boiling Hellfire. He desperately activated the Glazed Lotus Scripture. The Interspatial Bracelet was useless at this time. Even though it was a treasure from a higher level, it could not withstand the Hellfire.
The Hellfire burned Chu Li. The Glazed Lotus Scripture kept changing. Chu Li happened to be at his weakest. His spirit was weak, so the Glazed Lotus Scripture was not as agile as usual. Its power was greatly reduced.
He felt that his consciousness was fading.
In shock, he could not care about anything else. He appeared in the Great Mercy Temple and Monk Hui Guang's courtyard.
Monk Hui Guang was cultivating. When he saw Chu Li suddenly appear, his aura was weak and his body was emitting a strong power.
He knew at a glance that Chu Li was in a bad situation. He went to the Great Strength Hall and stood on the steps of the hall. He greeted with pressed palms, "Abbot."
Abbot Xin Ji walked out slowly. His tall and burly body was wearing a purple gold kasaya. Under the sunlight, it shone with a purple gold light. He looked dignified. "Hui Guang, what's the matter?"
"Something's wrong," Monk Hui Guang said hurriedly. He then returned to his courtyard.
Xin Ji frowned. He took a step forward and came to Monk Hui Guang's courtyard. He saw the black flame around Chu Li. It was tens of thousands of feet tall and went straight up to the sky. His expression changed.
"Abbot." Monk Hui Guang said hurriedly.
Xin Ji's expression was solemn. He pressed his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.
"Abbot, is he …" Monk Hui Guang said in a low voice. "Can he be saved?"
Solitary Heart Manor was solemn and serious as he stared at Chu Li. He sighed and said, "You must have been tainted with an enormous amount of karma. How could this happen?"
Monk Hui Guang asked, "Can he be saved?"
"We can only try." Monk Hui Guang frowned and sighed.
He lowered his head and took off the prayer beads around his neck. He tossed them gently.
Suddenly, the prayer beads flew to Chu Li's head. When they were about to fall, they were blocked by an invisible force.
The prayer beads slowly emitted a golden light. They flickered continuously and Sanskrit was faintly heard.
