A few days later, you led thousands of cultivators from Spine Mountain back to Green Hills City.
Along the way, you encountered numerous Immortal Slaves, but under your personal intervention, none were left alive.
Upon returning to Green Hills City, you stayed for two days.
Afterward, you took your father, Jiang Fushan, and Little Peach, intending to leave the Southern Regions together.
Not only that, but you also brought along a large number of mortals from the Jiang Family.
Jiang Fushan was puzzled, but he never opposed anything you said.
Two days later, everyone in the Jiang Family had packed their belongings and set off with you.
Of course, you couldn't let these mortals travel on their own; it would be too slow.
So, the strong cultivators from Spine Mountain had to bear the burden.
Each of them protected some mortals, and you all flew eastward.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
You arrived outside the Valley of Flames.
In truth, if you were traveling alone, it wouldn't have taken this long.
But this time, you had a large group, most of whom were mortals.
Even if they were being carried, traveling too fast would make them nauseous.
At this moment, everyone looked at you.
Even the cultivators from Spine Mountain were no exception.
They couldn't withstand the fierce Phoenix flames and wanted to see how you would lead everyone out of the Southern Regions.
Especially with so many mortals.
You understood their thoughts clearly.
However, since you dared to come, you naturally had a plan.
You didn't act immediately but instead scanned everyone with your eyes.
Watching your actions, the others were puzzled.
But no one noticed that you had skipped over your father, Jiang Fushan, and Little Peach.
After looking at everyone, you turned your gaze to the Valley of Flames.
Then, you silently chanted, "Activate Mortal Domain!"
Instantly, the cultivators from Spine Mountain panicked.
They felt their cultivation disappear.
Only your father, Jiang Fushan, and your personal maid, Little Peach, were exceptions.
In fact, you had just scanned everyone to pull them into the Mortal Domain.
You had already tested it before; the Mortal Domain wasn't limited by range.
At this moment, you smiled at the cultivators from Spine Mountain.
Then you had Little Peach take out a large basin of black pills from her storage ring.
You told the cultivators from Spine Mountain that as long as they took these pills, their cultivation would be restored!
Upon hearing this, most of them were overjoyed, but a few frowned, feeling you had ulterior motives.
You didn't keep them guessing and directly told them that taking the pills would restore their cultivation, but you would also control their life and death.
Whether to take them or not was up to them.
For a moment, the cultivators from Spine Mountain looked at you with eyes full of resentment.
You ignored them.
Soon after, many hot-blooded individuals chose not to restore their cultivation and refused to take the pills, intending to leave on their own.
You waved your hand, and Little Peach killed them on the spot.
After a long while, the ground outside the Valley of Flames was covered in blood.
However, most of the cultivators from Spine Mountain still took the pills you had prepared.
Once everything was over, you lifted the Mortal Domain from these people.
Instantly, they regained their strength.
But those who had taken the pills dared not resent you.
After all, they believed their lives were now in your hands.
But the truth?
What you gave them were just some black mud pills.
Although you had the talent of a Pill Dao Saint Hand, you hadn't had time to practice alchemy, let alone create pills that could control life and death.
What you did was merely to make them believe they had taken poison pills, making it easier to command them in the future.
Why didn't you force them to take the fake pills while they still had their cultivation?
Simple, fake pills are easy to expose.
But now, using the power of the Mortal Domain and then the pills, they couldn't discern the pill's ingredients without their cultivation.
Even if they regained their cultivation and couldn't sense any poison, they would just think your pills were too advanced for them to detect.
After all, you knew how shocking it was to make someone's cultivation disappear in an instant.
Why did you do this?
Let's just say your plan this time was risky and grand; it required a lot of manpower!
What if you got exposed?
You didn't care; after all, the people from Spine Mountain weren't your match.
It would just make your plan a bit more troublesome, but it was something you could handle.
After all, the mortals from the Jiang Family were your backup plan.
