NOVPUBYao Wudi couldn’t help but be quickly shaken and began to reflect rapidly.
Such a vast population would undoubtedly be an extremely important support for those Evil Gods of the Kingdom of Immortals who rely on incense fire.
And the stronger the Evil Gods of the Kingdom of Immortals were, the more likely it was that turmoil would appear on the southeastern borders of Jin.
After all, the Kingdom of Immortals was now within a stone’s throw of Jin, and once the Evil Gods of the Kingdom of Immortals digested the gains from the occupation of Qi, the next targets would be none other than Chu and Jin.
As for Yan, he didn’t quite believe that the people of the Kingdom of Immortals would really start a conflict with Yan.
It might just be a distraction.
Although he was usually reluctant to spend time on these thoughts, now that he had taken up the position of Southeastern Guardian, and these matters concerned the Sect, it was natural that he needed to ponder them more.
Those pretending to be from Yan might also be a probe.
However, this way of doing things didn’t quite match his style.
As he was contemplating.
The Incense-burning Dao Cultivators who had left soon brought a group of ragged and extremely feeble cultivators.
Among them were those at the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even Nascent Soul stages.
Yao Wudi turned his head directly to look at the Qi cultivators he had brought along with him:
"Look, who is Chao Yunwen?"
At the sight of his compatriots being escorted over from afar, the man’s face lit up with joy, but after hesitating for a moment, he then gritted his teeth and said:
"I beg the senior to take action and save my clan’s people!"
Yao Wudi immediately showed impatience:
"What do your people have to do with me? Don’t threaten me!"
"Speak if you will speak, if not, I’ll kill one and ask another, I don’t believe I can’t get an answer!"
The Qi cultivator was shocked, knowing that the other party would not be coerced, he dared not say more, and hurriedly pointed to one of them.
The Black Bear God, standing aside, involuntarily shrank his neck upon hearing Yao Wudi’s words:
"Truly a Demon Cultivator of Yan, such a strong desire to kill."
His heart immediately dared not act rashly, only hoping that the other party would keep his word and he could cooperate well to spare his own life.
Yao Wudi then reached out and grabbed Chao Yunwen directly.
Chao Yunwen was trapped by specially-made mana shackles and couldn’t use mana at all, no different from a mortal.
Upon seeing the figure shrouded in a black robe, Yao Wudi, though not understanding the identity of the other party but seeing his compatriots behind him safe and sound, he quickly responded, urgently saying:
"Senior! I earnestly beg the senior to rescue my Chao Clan’s people, and Chao Yunwen will surely repay you with springs of gratitude!"
"You don’t need to repay me with springs of gratitude; I can take you away, but you need to give me what’s in your body," said Yao Wudi with a cold expression, refusing to be swayed.
Chao Yunwen’s expression stiffened, then he frowned, about to argue.
Among the group of captive Qi Royal Clan survivors, however, there was a Nascent Soul who suddenly called out urgently:
"Senior! Save me! I... I also have a dungeon! As long as you save me, I’ll offer it to you immediately!"
Even though the person who spoke looked quite disheveled, the inherent dignity he possessed was hard to hide.
Upon seeing this person, Chao Yunwen couldn’t help but show an astonished expression:
"Imperial Uncle?"
"He also has a dungeon?"
This imperial uncle looked at Yao Wudi with an anxious expression, like a person drowning who had seen hope.
But to Yao Wudi’s surprise, his eyes lit up, and without any words, a thought moved and an invisible gust of wind immediately attracted the other party over.
The few Incense-burning Dao Cultivators, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but feel confused.
But the presence of the Black Bear God stopped them from thinking too much for a moment.
At this moment, the Black Bear God’s heart shook:
"A dungeon!?"
"The one mentioned in rumors, which Chao Wenshao of Qi hid, containing nearly ten million people?"
"This Liang Qiuyu came here for this reason?"
Nearly ten million people!
In the Black Bear God’s eyes a greed born of instinct immediately arose.
However, this instinctual greed vanished the moment it saw the cold and stern gaze from Yao Wudi.
Instead, he trembled with fear.
"It’s over! Will he completely obliterate me because I know this secret?" he thought.
Yao Wudi, however, turned his head and directly shattered the mana shackles on the imperial uncle’s body, coldly saying:
"Give me the dungeon, and I’ll spare your life!"
Although the imperial uncle looked conflicted, he knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment; he gritted his teeth and cast a magical seal.
Immediately, a scroll flew out of the Nascent Soul within his Dantian.
"Chao Kangzheng from the Chao Clan pays respects to the senior. This is a gift I offer to the senior," he said.
"I only ask that the senior leads me away from this dire strait!" During his speech, he determinedly severed his spiritual connection with the scroll.
His complexion turned much paler instantly.
Yao Wudi’s thought crossed his mind, and the now ownerless scroll immediately fell into his hand.
His Spiritual Sense swept over it, and his face couldn’t help but show a trace of astonishment.
"Huge!"
"Inside this... good!"
Seeing Yao Wudi’s undisguised joy, Chao Kangzheng’s heart momentarily eased slightly.
He had been worried that the other party might not fancy it, but now it seemed there was no need to worry about that anymore.
However, Chao Yunwen couldn’t help but ask:
"Imperial Uncle, why do you also have a dungeon?"
Chao Kangzheng gave him a glance and said in a deep voice:
"These two dungeons were originally one; it’s just that our ancestor split them apart. He gave you one and me the other, hoping that even if we lost one, the other would still enable our Chao Clan to rise again from East Mountain. But alas... Yunwen, we can’t defend them, it would be better if we handed both to the senior!"
Chao Yunwen’s face showed hesitation then he also sighed sadly, closed his eyes, cast another seal, and a bead that looked like a flame flew out as well.
