653 Bai Lanhua - Beast Tamers
"You don't like small talk, huh?" Bai Lanhua said it with a faint smile. "Anyway, we all know that you two are stronger than me, and I know that the people from the Dark Moon Sect have killed many of your clansmen, so I hope you can help me clean them up."
"I have to refuse your request." Bai Lanhua and her five aides raised their eyebrows at Shou Xun's answer. "We live in this realm now, but its affairs are not our business. As for my clan members who died at their hands, I do regret their deaths, but they died because they were weak." Yôur favorite stories on n/o/(v)e/lbin(.)com
"Why-"
"Stop it." Bai Lanhua stopped Huang Shuang'er before speaking to Shou Xun again. "I understand that your ancestors' teachings were like that, but you should be aware that the situation has changed a lot since the coup d'état a thousand years ago. Just like your race, our holy temple also contains loyal followers of the Emperor, and we share the same ambition to help him reclaim everything."
Shou Xun did not deny Bai Lanhua's last sentence, especially since that was indeed the wish of Emperor Long's loyal followers. "What does all this have to do with the people of this realm?"
"Didn't you already know that our Emperor now lives in this realm?" Shou Xun nodded at Bai Lanhua. "The current him is still too weak, and the number of enemies waiting for him there is too numerous. The majority of his former allies have passed away, and some of them, including your ancestor, have fallen into the hands of traitors. That's why he needs many new allies to save them and defeat those traitors; therefore, I thought of preparing the people in this realm for that, but we must first purge the members of that sect before we can proceed."
The two men exchanged glances after hearing Bai Lanhua's words, which Shou Liang said to her. "Your wishes are good, but the cultivators of this realm are too weak, and their mentality will not be strong enough to face them."
Shao Xiying and the other three women were furious, especially since no one else had ever dared to look down on them. However, they were aware that their strength was still far below theirs; not even Bai Lanhua could defeat one of them.
"Haha." Bai Lanhua laughed after hearing that. "You think that way because you are already powerful now, which is because you have been cultivating for much longer than them, and you are also cultivating in the Five Divine Heavens, which has much denser and richer Qi compared to this realm. However, you forgot that you also started everything from scratch, and you were no different from them at the beginning. If you were born and grew up in this realm, you wouldn't necessarily be better than them."
Shou Liang was left tongue-tied by Bai Lanhua's answer, especially since no cultivator could be so powerful from the start. All of them had to strive hard to become strong, and they also had to face many obstacles to achieve it. Moreover, he was born and raised in the Five Divine Heavens, so he never experienced the hardships faced by people from the lower realms trying to improve their cultivation with so little qi.
"Are you sure the people in this realm will be useful to our Emperor?" Shou Xun asked skeptically. "To prepare these people requires a lot of time and effort, and I don't want to waste my time on useless things or people."
"We will never know if we don't try, right? Back then, we were just as weak as they were, but through hard work and perseverance, we eventually reached our current level. Although most of the people in this realm have bad mentalities, there are also many who have good mentalities." Both men agreed with Bai Lanhua, who immediately continued. "In fact, some clans in this realm still have connections with the loyal followers of our Emperor, such as the Xuanyuan Clan, and they are direct descendants of the sword immortal, Xuanyuan Lanyin. Besides them, there are some other clans, but they never wanted to come to the surface. Moreover, some other clans had direct ties with him, such as the Di and Huo Clans, who were natives of this realm."
"At first, I thought the same as you, brother." Shou Xun turned to Shou Liang, who immediately explained his guess. "Didn't we also go through the same thing in the past? Back then, we were sent by our parents into the forest to train for survival, and we had to face those fierce beasts for years. Although the beasts in this realm do not have mature minds like the beasts in our realm, they are still much stronger than them, so they can still use them as their training opponents. Moreover, our Emperor will not possibly leave them in this realm forever, and he will definitely take them to the higher realm once they are ready, so I think it's no problem to clean up the people from that sect as soon as possible."
After hearing that, Shou Xun reminisced about their early training days, when they were just as weak as Chen Li's women and families, a memory that made him laugh heartily. "Ha ha ha! You're right, brother. Unlike our younger generations, we've gone through such harsh training in the past, and we nearly died at the hands of those beasts many times. In the end, we managed to get through everything and reach our current level, so I'm sure that the people around our Emperor will also get through everything. Anyway, we should probably start using the same method on our other young generations, especially since most of them slack off because our life in this realm is quite calm and peaceful."
"I agree with you, brother." Shou Liang replied with a nod of agreement. "In that case, we just need to wait for news from Bai Lanhua for now, and we will throw our younger generations into the forest after we get rid of those heretic people."
"Let's go! We have to get back to our place as soon as possible."
