I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 397. Qiu Ying, Liu Xuan

Hou Shaoyi was a Martial Arts Innate and a personal disciple of the Great Grandmaster.

As he began to speak, a group of juniors, whether willing or not, all had to step forward and undertake the task.

But this was truly no easy job.

Most of the villagers had been killed by bayonets or katanas; severed limbs and organs were frozen to the ground along with their bodies.

They had to melt the ice before they could collect the bodies, which was not only extremely difficult but also nauseating.

This group of juniors was made up of elite disciples from various sects, none of whom had ever done this kind of work; some, unaccustomed to hardship, were vomiting uncontrollably on the spot.

While Hou Shaoyi and the others simply looked on with cold indifference, showing no intention of helping and allowing them to manage on their own.

At first, the juniors were at a loss on how to handle the bodies, complaining incessantly.

Especially the three from the Tong Shao who had come dressed in new shoes and clothes, intent on sightseeing.

They now wished they could use Lu Li’s trademark move to escape this unfortunate task.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking.

Being elites, although somewhat childish, they all had exceptional temperament.

They found some shovels and hoes among the ruins and quickly got the hang of it, becoming more proficient as they worked.

One by one, the bodies were collected at the empty space at the entrance of the village, their faces covered with a piece of cloth, a final gesture of dignity.

The grim expressions on the faces of the juniors had long vanished, replaced with utter solemnity.

They were still young and had not yet experienced the corrupting pleasure of power; they still considered themselves human and regarded ordinary people as their own kind. How could they not be moved by the sight of their compatriots’ dead bodies?

At this moment, Tong Shao and the Chen siblings were cautiously collecting the bodies of a mother and child.

The mother, with the child behind her, had been pierced through together.

Tong Shao reached out to close their eyelids, which had frozen solid, and it took a while before they finally closed.

Although there were still many people in the village, there was not a single sound to be heard; it was utterly desolate.

Lu Li, observing the scene through a puppet, had not expected to have a group of teenagers collect corpses.

But upon reflection, he thought that only through firsthand experiences could they be hardened by the realities of the world.

Letting them learn what would happen if Chuyun took over was more effective than any words could be.

Li Yuanzhong also knew that Lu Li was paying attention and, feeling quite emotional, said:

"In our Shen Zhou, where the land is vibrant and people are exceptional, it would only take the unity of two or three provinces to make Chuyun think twice about oppressing us.

But in the current world, those with a little ability only think of their own riches and honor, those with great achievements aspire to be hereditary nobles, not to mention the chasm between mortals and immortals..."

Li Yuanzhong paused for a moment and sighed:

"This old Taoist only wishes for more reasonable cultivators in the world. Those who understand the heavenly principles and human emotions would be enough."

"Understand the heavenly principles, comprehend human emotions..."

This was actually the bare minimum standard of being human, but in today’s world, it was a luxury.

Or maybe those who possess extraordinary powers inherently find it difficult to be restrained by morality or righteousness.

Lu Li spoke softly, "There should be an unemotional yet powerful oversight to ensure they at least act human..."

It was the first time such a thought had crossed his mind, and just then, the sky above him suddenly darkened; a wooden magic boat appeared, flying through the air!

The boat was 50 meters long, large as a building, with its ornate beams and painted rafters exuding grandeur.

Five people stood at the bow, three of whom were very familiar, none other than Qiu Yan with his disciple Jiang Haiyan, and Jiang Shixiang, the Governor of Jinmen.

The great grandmaster took a step back, standing behind a white-robed Taoist.

"Greetings to Master Qiu," Li Yuanzhong shouted up, then introduced him to Lu Li through a telepathic message:

"This is Elder Qiu Ying from the Hua Mountain Sect’s Cloud Platform Peak—Refining God and Manifesting Saint, Martial Arts Innate, his Heart Image is the Flying Centipede, extremely formidable, having once killed two True Monarchs from the Hengshan Sect single-handedly."

The middle-aged man in the white robe named Qiu Ying, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, said indifferently,

"Li Yuanzhong, hurry and board the boat; don’t be late."

Li Yuanzhong quickly brought Zhen Yangzi, Lu Li, and others aboard the "Magic Boat."

Qiu Ying did not even glance at the others, ignoring even Zhen Yangzi, and said only to Li Yuanzhong,

"I must have the Changbai Spirit Realm, and if anyone dares to block our path, Yuanzhong, feel free to kill them."

"Understood," replied Li Yuanzhong evenly, with a bow, making his stance clear—he would only target Chuyun.

That was sufficient for Qiu Ying, who did not say more and, with a wave of his large sleeve, urged the Magic Boat eastward, in the direction of Changbai Mountain.

Onboard, Jiang Shixiang and the other two gave Lu Li a polite greeting.

They could not fathom Lu Li’s cultivation level and were not overly deferential.

Lu Li noticed a blond, blue-eyed Westerner by Jiang Shixiang’s side?

Jiang Shixiang took the initiative to introduce him,

"This gentleman is ’Prince Youle’ from Gade Country. He is here to observe and will not take action."

Prince Youle was of average build, with a small mustache, and nodded slightly at the moment, very low-key.

But Qiu Ying lifted his eyelid and said, "Prince Youle comes from Sulfur Fire Lake—none of you should be disrespectful."

Sulfur Fire Lake was a direct translation... Having lived abroad, Lu Li knew that its more elegant translation was "Hell."

Xia Weiyun communicated telepathically: [This is a spiritual realm in the West, it seems to have a good relationship with the Hua Mountain Sect.]

Lu Li thought the same and also remembered that Su Qing had mentioned a group of Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarchs doing something in the Earth Core... With a bold guess, it might be that they were allies of some kind.

Just then, the Magic Boat flew right above a group of youngsters.

Looking down, they could see the youth busy at work.

Not one of the half-grown children backed down; they were all focused on collecting the bodies.

Tong Shao and the Chen siblings were also covered in blood, but they did not care and did their best to handle the corpses with some semblance of peace.

Seeing this, Li Yuanzhong’s heart filled with gratification, and his expression softened considerably.

Lu Li was quite pleased with the three youngsters and decided to reward them well once they returned.

As a Saint True Monarch, Qiu Ying naturally saw the situation below and immediately showed a look of disgust,

"Commoners breed too quickly; they’ve even spread to the north. With such chicken, duck, cat, and dog kinds, a little is interesting enough, but too much is truly revolting."

As these words came out, there was a moment of silence on the Magic Boat.

Only Prince Youle echoed, "My father believes that a global population of 500 million would be more reasonable."

"Indeed, too many people are not good. Not only do they pollute the qi, but some fools think they are special because of the Wish Power they generate!"

Qiu Ying suddenly looked towards the distance, sneered, and said,

"Isn’t that right, Liu Zhenjun?"

Accompanying his words, another Magic Boat of the same style cut through the clouds, revealing its form.

At the bow stood a short and stout elder, standing proudly and looking coldly at Qiu Ying.

Li Yuanzhong sent a telepathic message: [The Law Enforcement Elder of the Taishan Sect—Liu Xuan, with the East Emperor as his Heart Image.]

Lu Li was aware of the situation and simultaneously felt a strange expression cross his face,

For next to Liu Xuan stood all familiar figures—Su Qing, Shen Siang, Shen Xing, and the Governor of Yun and Gui, "Fan Chengbin."

At that moment, Su Qing covertly shifted her gaze away, very worried—

Why has this ass come here! With so little cultivation, is he not afraid of dying? The Shen family father and son will never let him off!

As she expected, the look Shen Siang gave Lu Li was filled with hatred so intense it was as if he wished to grind Lu Li to dust, whereas his gaze towards Xia Weiyun and the other women was full of lasciviousness.
